Early Man edit: reply

The link to the article is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Man_(film). The article was actually edited by me through the IP 69.94.33.82 and 69.94.83.174. I always keep getting different IP addresses. You sent a message to me on the IP 69.94.33.82. 69.94.36.145 (talk) 08:29, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Revert adjustments to Brazil wiki

Why? Nothing was taken out, it was only standardized and new info was put in. Ultrajante (talk) 01:09, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

You did remove the area and its citation which wasn't mentioned in the wp:ES. As is common for many countries that English is not the common language, the country's English wp:COMMONNAME is given first. See Portugal, Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy. Adakiko (talk) 01:42, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Deleted my comments on a talk page.

So you deleted my comments on the Pierre Kory talk page, citing civility. However, I don't see what was uncivil about them. Where some words on the harsher end of the spectrum used? Yes. Is that uncivil? Not by any reasonable metric.

In fact, if I had not used the words that I did, the nature of the message which I was trying to convey would have been significantly different. There is a reason for swear words, and when not used to taget someone, they are an entirely valid tool of expression. The fact that when we swear we are in a highly aroused states such as pain or outrage, only justifies my use of such words when trying to convey emotion.

As such, I think you should return my comments to the talk page. Of course, I am willing to hear what the "issues" were, so I can understand the policies here. But again, I don't believe I erred anywhere. VarezTico (talk) 23:31, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

About maratha empire

Don't you think adding a separate section about destruction of maratha empire is kind of hypocritical since no such section has been added about Mughal empire and delhi sultane where temple destruction and killing of non Muslim were well documented 2409:4062:2207:E477:0:0:520:C0AD (talk) 21:36, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Request

Please stop commenting on my talk page. It is not wanted, regardless as to your official capacity. I didn't want to have to write on yours because it feels very much like doing the very thing i've just asked you not to do, but here we are. I am very much done with being told how I think, how I feel, and the motivations of my actions by others. Thanks. SquireJames (talk) 02:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

@SquireJames: Continue with the personal attack and you will likely get wp:blocked. Adakiko (talk) 03:02, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
I have not. In fact I have discontinued the conversation in it's entirety. Therefore further interactions with you are unnecessary and unwelcome. Please refrain. SquireJames (talk) 03:13, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
@SquireJames: If you do a personal attack again, you'll see another warning or block notice on your talk page. Adakiko (talk) 03:14, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
Again, I have no intention of interacting again in any capacity. I continue to be threatened though. This is most unwelcome. Have a pleasant evening though. SquireJames (talk) 03:16, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

TV Guide here? wp:RSP#TV Guide says it's RS. Lots of Non-RS give that middle name too.. Thanks for the backup BTW! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 13:00, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
@Adakiko: Sorry for the confusion. I thought his actual birth name should be sourced although it’s not sourced in the page that’s why I asked. 2001:8F8:1825:F59C:91D9:BDF:8554:DEEC (talk) 14:15, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
I agree that it should be sourced or removed per wp:BLPRS. The TV Guide source is the only one I found by a quick scan that is likely wp:RS. Do you think that is an acceptable source? If so, do you wish to add it? Cheers Adakiko (talk) 16:31, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Deleted Photo from Orange County, California page

Hey there. I deleted the image of Nixon's Drive-In from the Orange County page because the restaurant was in Whittier, CA (which the Whittier Historical Society lists here: https://www.facebook.com/WhittierMuseum/photos/nixon's-drive-in-on-east/10153915558991274/). Whittier is not in Orange County. Hope that clarifies! Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.147.227.71 (talkcontribs) 23:10, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Golden Gloves - reply

Thanks for the feedback. I am an employee of Golden Gloves of America and much of the information listed on the page was incorrect, outdated, no longer applicable or relevant data for Golden Gloves of America.

As Golden Gloves of America strives to re-energize its brand, it’s important in communicating who we are/what we do and have done is consistent across all platforms. Hence the reason for edits to verbiage along with elimination of data that is not affiliated with the organization. 2601:703:4284:A280:4DB1:12BA:FF6:6BD5 (talk) 08:49, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Being a representative of Golden Gloves of America means you have a wp:conflict of interest (please read). You should not edit the article directly, but should use an wp:Edit request. Articles should not be promotional or written like an advertisement. Content per Wikipedia's policy of wp:verifiability, should cite wp:reliable sources. See help:referencing for beginners.

Re-add information about what is Network APIs, APIs operative efficiency and Tanaza as example

Hello @Adakiko, thanks for you feedback. You have accidentaly removed my update to the page about APIs because there was not a source. I was adding it but you have removed the article in the exact moment when I have pressed Publish change. I have added a valuable source about why APIs reduce CAPEX/OPEX costs, mentioning the study conducted by Aravind Narayan. It's the Global Director of Refinitiv - an LSEG company founded in 2007 with solid authority. The website has a DA=78 (Semrush data). Tester299999999bot (talk) 09:44, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Why are you telling me again? Adakiko (talk) 09:46, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

@Adakiko Because I read in a second moment, that I have to answer in your talk page to explain the misunderstanding. I have simply explained. Relax. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tester299999999bot (talkcontribs) 09:51, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

Homophobia in minority communities

Hi, you recently reverted my edit, and I imagine this happened before I posted my talk page discussion.

Could you point out to me where in the main body this content is sourced? I'm not seeing it. And I think I've shown that some secondary sources contest this view. I also don't see how such a vague overgeneralization can be sourced reliably without synthesis. - 2603:8080:2C00:1E00:891:D96:5E15:4083 (talk) 10:29, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

My apologies, I should have explained why I removed the content. It was because it is standard to put information about a reboot of a film series, in the wikipedia page for the final installment of the initial film series. For example with Spider-man 3 or The Dark Knight Rises. For the wikipedia page of first installment you usually only put information of it's sequels in the "other media'' section.

Halo Infinite

I reverted that edit because I actually did find and add the proper link to cite it. It looks like this happened just a few days ago actually. I cited the link, but I have no idea how to do it as more than a simple reference unlike all of those more complicated links elsewhere on the page.--32.214.191.219 (talk) 06:58, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

According to the article, it looks like this was from the November 9th update. I tested it by replaying one of my favorite levels and it's very much real.--32.214.191.219 (talk) 07:02, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

I don't get messages except on my talk page, I just happened to check here. As for why, who knows??? Maybe the designers decided to fix that major flaw in the game. In the past, you had to replay the entire campaign game just to reach various levels, something that no other Halo game has ever done before.--32.214.191.219 (talk) 07:12, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Bradley James

On the Wikipedia page, the subject's birthdate is not exact. A simple google search provides several sources that have an exact (and identical) birthdate for the subject. This would seem to make this information common knowledge and thus no citation needed. I apologize if this is not common practice. Thanks for message, though. I will be more careful in the future. 2600:6C56:6508:5B00:A066:20A9:C02D:8B1F (talk) 19:07, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

wp:Biographies of living persons (BLPs) need to cite a source for birthdate. If it is "common knowledge", the date still should cite a source. If their date is widely known, it should be easy to find a reliable source. Sources should meet wp:BLPRS. See help:referencing for beginners. Adakiko (talk) 19:51, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

Persistent reverts to non-neutral wording in 2022 Istanbul bombing article

Hi, I have noticed you have reverted a change to non-neutral wording in the 2022 Istanbul bombing article. However, these changes keep reappearing (and are actual in the current version of the article). There were also some previous edits like that. Interestingly, according to WHOIS, all these edits are from Turkish IP addresses, although I am not sure if this is of any relevance. If I were to (further) revert these edits, that would probably constitute a WP:3RR violation, so I guess the most I could legitimately do would be to bring it to the attention of someone who may be interested in dealing with this issue, which is why I am writing this. 176.62.33.75 (talk) 19:44, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Floyd Green Jamaican Politician

Hi,

Thank you for your message and for pointing out that there needs to be sources in my edits. Floyd Green is a politician in Jamaica and my name is Kenneisha Campbell, I am the Communications Specialist assigned to him. I noticed that the Wikipedia page contained inaccurate information under education, and that there were articles that had nothing to do with his educational journey.

My edits are to correct these inaccuracies, making the page clearer and more correct.

Edit warring notice

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Disclose.tv. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Smefs (talk) 11:27, 27 November 2022 (UTC)Smefs

Consistently reverting to non-neutral wording on Disclose.tv

The previous edit of Disclose.tv is clearly biased. I have changed the wording to accurately reflect what the provided sources claim. My edits are not the ones violating the neutrality policy. The original page was flagrantly biased. Thanks. Smefs (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2022 (UTC)Smefs

Problematic editor

Hi Adakiko! I am considering to bring Zahamey to ANI for persistent addition of unsourced content, which I consider the primary issue with their edits. It's definitely not vandalism, but just bad good-faith editing. However, with the inconsistent and messy warnings on their talk page (including vandalism warnings for what does not appear to be vandalism), I hesitate to go to ANI at this stage. Probably you can continue to observe their editing and consistently give them "unsourced content"-warnings, as I will do too, so we can quickly and orderly build up to level 4. Austronesier (talk) 16:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

It was a typo, nothing more. Thank you for your attention. Can you please remove the warning tag from my talk page? Thanks. Julietacr (talk) 13:20, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
I didn't see it as a typo until your talk post here. Please feel free to remove it per wp:BLANKING. May I suggest using wp:Show preview to check your edits before saving? Adakiko (talk) 13:23, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Regarding my edit of IP Code

The original claim does not have a reliable source. It is difficult to find a reliable source which states in one line "ingress protection testing is not expensive" but see e.g. the standard https://www.wewontech.com/180619001.pdf there is no reference to external certification and the testing procedures are not expensive processes. Please reinstate my edit 92.220.62.18 (talk) 08:46, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia prefers wp:secondary sources over a wp:primary document. One problem with publishing your device's IP is the cost of failure. A phone with an IP rating that is water damage may result in a substantial claim. Data recovery, productivity lost, etc. The testing may be cheap; the liability / insurance could be the bulk of the expense. Adakiko (talk) 09:04, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

When a person is editing a page, citations are not always placed right away. The proper way to handle this is either to be patient and give the editor a chance or one can shoot the editor a message asking about citations. Reverting edits made in good faith (i.e. not vandalism) is a poor approach. Ewingdo 16:04, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

@Ewingdo: I would think that you as a college instructor would be a stickler for citations. Currently, there are over 590,000 citation-needed tags, 17,684 from this November alone. Category:Articles with unsourced statements from November 2022 That is a problem.
The editor adding the content to the article should have access to the source and would be the obvious one to add the citation. Reverting and warning immediately allows the editor to add the citation while the sources are most likely at their fingertips. Seeing that the edit appeared constructive, I added a {{welcome-unsourced}} rather than a warning to Christophertnl's talk page. Christophertnl replaced the content without adding a source. LilianaUwU warned and the content was replaced with citations.
It would be nice if one could add a {{cn}} tag, remind the editor, and the editor added the citation. I once did an experiment where I did add {{cn}} tags to a number of articles and asked the editor to add citations. I think that two out of the 20 or so got a citation over the coarse of a week. I don't find that acceptable.
Administrators don't seem to have a problem with wp:RCPers undoing edits and warning people and seem quite willing to block editor for repeated additions of unsourced content. I've probably reverted 10k edits for not adding a citation; 50k edits total. Note the lack of warning and blocks that I have received? Unfortunately, this seems to be the most workable method and it will likely continue this way in the foreseeable future.
It would be nice if there was a tool that would request the editor add a citation, add a {{cn}} tag, and remind the tool-user to check back when a "sufficient" amount of time has elapsed. Perhaps you could create one? Or better yet, code the Wikipedia editor to recognize unsourced content and refuse to save until it has a citation.
Given the problem with citations, wp:V, people need to add citations with their edit. They can use wp:Show preview to check everything, then add citations, check again, then "Publish page". Please encourage your students to add citations with their edits?
BTW: If you mention an article, please link it? It simplifies finding what you are talking about. A {{pagelinks}} would be better. ANOTHER syndrome (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). I linked the section header. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 20:02, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

My edit Annette Andre The existing detail for Annette Andre's birthplace (Sydney) has no reliable citation either. She was born at Drummoyne, see https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/17611193?searchTerm=Andreallo — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.194.1.98 (talk) 12:32, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Her website states "Sydney" https://annetteandreofficial.wordpress.com/2018/06/18/welcome/ as home town. Is it proper to list her birth place as Drummoyne, Sydney, New South Wales? She is not listed on the Drummoyne page. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Drummoyne is an inner suburb of Sydney, but is a location in it's own right as Sydney describes the entire metropolitan area as well as a specific location of Sydney. "Home town" doesn't specifically mean "place of birth", if you are differentiating between the the two, Drummoyne NSW would be her place of birth, Sydney is her home town.
Cheers Stuart 49.194.1.98 (talk) 14:26, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
OK, I added your source. Used it for birthday and born as citation too. Added a memoir book citation. Do you have the book? Which page is the appreciation and forward on Annette Andre#Memoir? There is a {{citation needed}} tag there. Any source on her going to Brigidine? I didn't find one that was obviously wp:RS with Google. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 01:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

You are welcome. It seemed that many of the web mentions appear to originate from Wikipedia. That's a common problem; a bit here on it wp:CIRCULAR. e.g. someone thinks they know something and adds it to Wikipedia, somebody writes a news article, getting the info from Wikipedia. Someone sees that info on Wikipedia isn't sources, googles it and finds that news article and cites it: a circular reference! Cheers -Jim

When disabled it removes the whitespace added by Vector 2022 on the left and right of the page content. Disabling this preference has the same effect as enabling the wide-vector-2022 gadget.

Edit warring notice

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Telecentric lens. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Adakiko (talk) 13:44, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Daniel Case (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Revert made by you

I had to do edits in Manasa, vacha, karmana because there were serious errors in the content .

If you don't have some mentionable knowledge of SansKrit language then you won't understand why I did what I did .

Cosenza

I removed the Cosenza cathedral-UNESCO fact and wrote that it's not under UNESCO but got your message that I didn't explain why I removed it, so here's second try - it's a bit tricky to prove that something doesn't exist, but I'll try, here's the official UNESCO page with all the italian sites mentioned, and there's no cathedral in Cosenza in it https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/it

I honestly don't care too much about it so won't pursue it anymore, and already lost more time than I planned on it, there's not much sense in trying to improve the facts just to see it deleted and restored, so do whatever you want with it :) 188.252.184.140 (talk) 13:04, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

I undid your edit as I could not understand your non-English edit summary. Talk should be in English on this Wikipedia. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 13:20, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Dick Ellis

You changed Charles Howard 'Dick' Ellis back to Charles Howard Ellis. Dick Ellis is the name by which he was best known. Just like 'Magic' Johnson or 'Tina' Fey. Their Wikipedia articles carry the nicknames, so why change Ellis? He is referred to as Charles Howard 'Dick' Ellis in the Australian Dictionary of Biography: https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/ellis-charles-howard-dick-10113

His papers at the National Library of Australia are the same: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4505449 2001:448A:5067:33BC:7D58:BFB3:4147:F908 (talk) 05:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia's manual of style says not to put nicknames inside of the full name. See Wikipedia's wp:Manual of Style, specifically WP:NICKNAME: Avoid (for example) adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original given name(s), in quotes or parentheses between first and last name. For example: Bill Clinton, not William "Bill" Clinton. The article already states better known as Dick Ellis. Please do not place "Bill" inside of his name. Adakiko (talk)

hello! Was wondering how Chris Niosi has a wikipedia despite the majority of the sources being from twitter post GrayNG (talk) 19:34, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, @GrayNG: Using wp:Self-published sources can be tricky. For example, ref [30] (this link will be in error if sources are added or removed) appears to be an "official" Twitter account of Viz Media. I think that one meets See WP:TWITTER. There are about 14 Twitter citations. If you think other cites are not wp:RS, you can change them or tag them with {{primary source inline}}, {{better source needed}}. Are there any other citations that you are concerned about that don't meet RS? Depending on the severity of the problem, you can also add a {{primary sources}} or {{self-published}}. The former has a "|talk=" parameter. You can add a new section to talk:Chris Niosi and then link it to the template.
If you want to have fast access to the list of cleanup tags can add a link to {{Inline cleanup tags|state=collapsed}} on your user page or add a link to your browser. (See {{navbox}} for display options).
Please link the article being discussed? That helps to find it. My knowledge is limited here. You can ask for more details or suggestions at the wp:Teahouse. Hope this helps! Thanks Adakiko (talk) 22:48, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

What country are you from? All sources were burned only local knowledge is aware.. Nathan066 (talk) 05:24, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

@Nathan066: You do realise that wp:Wikipedia is anonymous? I have no idea who you are, where you are, where you are from, or if your edits were correct or not. That is why a wp:reliable source (RS) is needed for wp:verifiability. A book or article published by an RS is would be quite acceptable for sourcing that content. Someone who is familiar with the waterfall and is considered reputable enough to publish that fact would be more than sufficient. If there is no RS, please don't add it to the article. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 08:10, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

@Nathan066: Please leave replies here. See help:talk pages. I will help. The link for citation [1] is 404, so I added an archive-link. I looked at the pdf, but did not find "White Drin Waterfall" nor "Ujëvara e Drinit të Bardhë". I did find a "Drinit të Bardhë". Google's translation didn't make sense to me.

Etymology is more science (linguistics) than history

Dear user, It’s bad etiquette to undo an edit without explanation. Better sources are needed to make a big claim like “Ahmad’s” etymology has no relation to Mohammed, despite sharing the same grammatical root in Arabic? . Specific pages of the encyclopaedia of Islam need to be referenced alongside defining the encyclopaedia of Islam itself as a western published study which is quite controversial by traditional Islamic standards. All of these need to be done in order for that claim to be published in the article.

Thus is the way of scholarship integrity. Feel free to debate. Mbaban (talk) 23:11, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

@Mbaban: It is bad etiquette to remove content from an article without explanation. Why do you think those sources are insufficiently reliable? Adakiko (talk) 23:13, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
Without explanation was a mistake, as already explained? , it was the misplaced finger. You can’t make a very controversial claim while referencing an entire encyclopaedia. If there was a debate about the etymology, it should be under the etymology section, furthermore, it should reference specific arguments of the source, rather than citing a 10,000+ pages as a source, that’s like me referencing Wikipedia. Furthermore, the source is controversial in traditional Islamic scholarship schools such as Al alazhar and qom, therefore, if a debate about etymology was to be made, all of that information from all sides should be included and explored, as it is a very important Islamic-Christian argument point.

Notice

The article Robert MacDonnell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page created by a spammer with a single source with false information unrelated to the article seemingly generated by a transformer model

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. BrigadierG (talk) 15:52, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

@BrigadierG: I moved the article Robert MacDonnell to Draft:Robert MacDonnell, leaving a redirect. I did not create the page. Adakiko (talk) 07:28, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Robert MacDonnell, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
