User talk:SpringnutsCleaned up page December 2008Springnuts (talk) 12:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Attacking editors?
Sorry, you have left me a message saying that I am attacking editors. What editor have I attacked? You left a link to writer D.M.Thomas page, but D. M. Thomas is not an editor here. The plagiarism is undisputed, and it is appropriate to say that in the article. Irishflowers (talk) 12:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Elephant and Castleman, you`re nuts. I removed some sentence on elephant and castle which said `sarah kimmit loves it and calls it the elephant!` how is this vandalism? 58.81.137.194 (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2008 (UTC) My talk pageHey, thanks for the vigilance, but his terse inquiry was in regards to the argument we are currently having over the Vladivostok article. He has the right to ask, albeit his tone indeed leaves much to be desired, I have thick skin to mind that kind of crap :) Anyway, just letting you know that I restored his inquiry and removed the warning you placed on his talk page. Thanks again!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:21, December 18, 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism on List of Keeping Up Appearances episodesSomthing needs to be done about that user. Despite me having given them 4 warnings and then reported them for vandalism they are still vandalising.

Are you a ninja? At any rate, what I did wasn't so bad. The movie itself is vandalism of a perfectly good series. They went as low as to attack Dragonball, as opposed to Dragonball Z, or even Dragonball GT (which nobody would've minded). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.8.211 (talk) 10:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)  You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Hi Springnuts, I noticed that you said that the sockpuppet had made good faith edits--sure, but those edits restored all the peacock terms I had painstakingly removed from Dean Wells (guitarist)...

Thanks, Sceptre (talk) 17:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC) French for ChaplainHi. A chaplain is a 'chapelain' when the context is of a private chapel. You might notice that the french article for chapelain starts by saying "a chapelain or almoner is"; the distinction is rather blurry between the two. However, they are distinct entities (we have an article for the chaplain and an article for almoners), thus I thought it was better to keep that distinction.

It appears that the 'Christian View' has been removed from the Lot (Biblical) page. It wouldnt be fair to have Jewish and Islamic views without a christian view. I believe that you had removed it... but I could be wrong. If you did remove it, could you simplify or capture something from the original to put back on the Lot page so there is at least a section for it? Or at least redo it.

Oops, I should have used a more fully-explained edit summary on that edit. I wasn't referring to User:StAnselm, who recently re-added that content, but to User:Leucosticte, who originally added it on July 1:[1] Leucosticte is a sockpuppet of the banned User:Sarsaparilla and has since been banned himself. As such, I don't think his contributions should be in the article; although if there's a consensus to nevertheless include that content, I'll accept it and won't object any further. Robofish (talk) 01:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC) Massacre of the InnocentsI totally agree with the need to keep it balanced, however the current lead says it "was an episode", as if it actually happened, when in fact there's not a single credible source to confirm it, which is very heavily unbalanced. It's important for the lead to express such doubts, as people will often not read past the first sentence and form their opinions based on it. I'm open to alternative ways to express it, but I think "supposed" captures the fact it's only ever mentioned in a single religious text fairly accurately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathrick (talk • contribs) 09:06, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
DF-21Springnuts - the reason I changed the DF-21 speed was because the speed listed was unfortunately ridiculous. I cannot source my estimate but Mach 10 to Mach 15 is at least ball-park for an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. 500knots is the speed that a subsonic sea-skimming cruise missile travels at. Not many people would be scared of ballistic missiles if they travelled at that speed. For reference to back up my comments, check out some other ballistic missiles like the Pershing II (Mach 9, 1800km range), Agni V, SS-12, SS-14 etc. You won't find any other ballistic missiles that slow.

Like that of science, the rational tradition of philosophy can sometimes be at odds with a more mystical understanding of the world by religious thinkers. So some specific basis for assigning such descriptions to clergy is usually present. And that's usually in the shape of a degree. Rabbi Bernheim's thinking seems to be mostly religious. His "Quarante Méditations Juives" for example was a religious work. And as far as I can tell, that he was thought to be an agrégé of philosophy is the reason Rabbi Gilles Bernheim was being termed "a philosopher" (including by that referenced article in the Forward). Since the revelations, I don't think he has been referred to as "a philosopher", at least not in the Le Monde article, nor in the Huffington Post one. It's not that plagiarism "is enough to discount all his thinking". Plagiarism has nothing to do with any of this. "All his thinking" is not being attacked in any way. But we describe Gilles Bernheim as "a philosopher" before even as "a Rabbi". Why? Being a Rabbi is what he is know for. And we are talking about the chief Rabbi in France. So, I suggest that, if we need to introduce Gilles Bernheim as something other than "rabbi", the more general "author", instead of the very specific "philosopher", allows us to present a more accurate biography ... without in any way discounting his thinking.

The issue is the identifying all Hoverflys as Mk Is, which they weren't. (I'll confess, right offhand, I can't say how RAF broke out the Hoverfly mark numbers, but that's really not on point.) I'm also not impressed with the "I's": it's not a possessive, it's a plural. The confusion you seem to think will insue, IMO, is near zero, & doesn't warrant such a common (& wrong) use of apostrophe. Any further confusion? Do message me.

KVV SubrahmanyamHello, I have a Query. Is there a way retrieve the last version before deletion of this article for my reference. I am still working on this. Is there a way to go for deletion review? Thanks Kbala1055 (talk) 15:29, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Your draft article, User:Springnuts/sandboxHello, Springnuts. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox". In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read!

It’s pretty clear UNDUE applies mainly where there are competing points of view, although the policy does include that “Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail…”. The deleted material is only one and half sentences. It’s highly relevant to establishing Griffith’s notability and includes the interesting connection with Australian politician Bob Brown, who is well known here in Australia. It is supported by reliable sources. It meets WP:BLP. Griffith (and Malley’s ) search is included on the | Thylacine page. Your edit summary is “Remove undue detail of fruitless search for an extinct animal”. If you have a look at the | Extinction section on the thylacine page, at the time of Griffith’s search in the late 60s and early 70s (which is only 30 odd years since the last captive thylacine died), it was not known if the animal was actually extinct or not. As the thylacine page makes clear, the thylacine held the status of endangered species until the 1980s, and was only “declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1982 and by the Tasmanian government in 1986.” Reliable reports of Griffith's search show that the search was far from “fruitless” because it was the seminal empirical study that formed the basis of the now-accepted view that the thylacine is in fact extinct. So I can’t see that there’s anything in UNDUE or any other policy to justify the deletion of this material, so I’ve undone the edit. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 07:06, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add June 2024 Your recent editing history at Russian destroyer Admiral Levchenko shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:09, 11 June 2024 (UTC) Introduction to contentious topicsYou have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project. Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC) ArbCom 2024 Elections voter messageHello!
