Thanks for your comments on the NZ on Air entry. I'll reword as per your advice. I've been advise tht the national film archive is privately owned, snd yes it does get a substantial amount of money from govt funding, which makes it's position as default archivist for nz content interesting. Not really sure what it means. perhaps for someone else to contemplate. I'll just stick to the facts. Totally agree, there so much stuff to work on so I'm happy to help where I can with my knowledge or resource material on this topic. Not many people know more about this issue and the discussion on it. I'll do my best to assemble the best of relevant articles on it for everyone.Nzindie (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:26, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

@Peace page

Hello, I'm not sure why you have undone my changes to the @Peace page. My changes were entirely constructive, aimed at making the article objective - I had removed quite a bit of subjective/inappropriate content, both negative and positive. Instead, it's now locked on to the negative hatchet job it was before I began editing it. I suggest it be reverted to my last change, made 23:48, 30 September 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.180.127.197 (talk) 04:26, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello User:202.180.127.197 and welcome to Wikipedia. There is no "hatchet job" on the page and content perceived as "negative" is acceptable as Wikipedia isn't a site for promotional material - there are plenty of other websites for that. Some of the changes were reverted because they broke the marks-ups on the page. Some of the content you added wasn't written from a neutral point of view and was unreferenced (ie "The group is known for its innovative and experimental style and thought-provoking lyrics"). As @Peace is a New Zealand band please avoiding using Americanisms such as "stylized". I have just added some of your other changes to the page. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 04:54, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the current version, perhaps the John Key song should be mentioned in a separate section entitled "Controversy", rather than the second sentence in the introduction - it is one song they have released out of many and is not representative of their typical style. I suggest using my introduction with a few changes - "The group is known for its experimental production style" would be more objective. Here are some references for this: http://www.theaudience.co.nz/news/album-review-peace-and-the-plutonian-noise/ http://www.offthetracks.co.nz/peace-peace-and-the-plutonian-noise-symphony/ http://www.undertheradar.co.nz/review/943/Peace-and-the-Plutonian-Noise-Symphony.utr — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.180.127.197 (talk) 23:30, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

None of those links contained the word 'experimental', and personally I consider their production to be more 'hackneyed' than 'experimental'. I don't think there is any need for a controversy section as they are only well-known for one thing. Haminoon (talk) 22:16, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

db-a2

I noted that you have incorrectly placed the {{db-a2}} tag on a few articles. WP:CSD#A2 specifically refers to foreign language articles that already exist on another Wikipedia. The template requires a parameter wherein you identify the foreign language Wikipedia article that is duplicated. The mere fact that the article is not written in English is not sufficient reason to tag for speedy deletion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Problem usernames

Hi Haminoon, and thanks for tagging International Trading & Technical Services Co. WLL (INTER-TECH) for speedy deletion. In this case, the user who created it had a username that also violated the username policy - specifically, the provision that account names can't be named after businesses. If you happen to spot those and they are engaged in promotional editing, feel free to report them to WP:UAA. They'll get blocked for a username violation, and their unwelcome edits will be stopped dead in their tracks. Thanks! --Drm310 (talk) 07:27, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion tagging of Sakshi Gupta BLP

Hi Haminoon,
Sorry to have to say this right after a Barnstar, but your tagging of the Sakshi Gupta page for speedy deletion under WP:Criteria for speedy deletion#G1 as "nonsense or gibberish" is in error. The page was neither gibberish or nonsense when you tagged it, only 4 minutes after it was started! It did lack content at the time, being just an infobox, but I would suggest that a bit more time be allowed for an obviously incomplete page just started by a new editor.

But it would now qualify for speedy deletion under WP:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7 for lack of notability. Regards, 220 of ^Borg 10:48, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

I've retagged it A7. Nonsense is only for things like 'tcytretrgfcgcfcgf' that can't be in any known language, or things like 'face fourteen superego jam curry twiddlydee' which would probably be rejected by a Surrealist poetry circle and are not coherent ("Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" is coherent although it is meaningless, while "Furiously sleep ideas green colorless" IS nonsense in WP terms). It's actually a fairly rare one at speedy. Peridon (talk) 11:14, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Apologies User:Peridon and user:220 of Borg; I just saw two words with no context inside Huggle and though "gibberish". I will be more careful in future, and allow an article to develop first. Thanks, Haminoon (talk) 04:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

No worries. We all make mistakes! I don't use Huggle, so don't know how it displays such things. I find Special:NewPagesFeed gives me a good idea about a new articles status. I then usually use Twinkle to tag as required. There is somewhere a discussion about allowing, especially 'noob' editors, enough time to develop an article. I often give new editors a {{First article}} Welcome template as a heads up and guide to help them. --220 of ^Borg 09:11, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Who is Phillip Hughes?

Phillip Hughes is cricketer with the South Australia cricket team who unfortunately is now in hospital after getting hit in the head today with a cricket ball bowled by Sean Abbott. See espncricinfo --220 of ^Borg 11:37, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

why yu keep deleting my stuff. What the hell is wrong with you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.196.191 (talk) 01:39, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

What isn't wrong with me. Haminoon (talk) 01:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you talk to user 86.135.99.68 about their edits to The Bill (series 20). They claim that a character, PC Des Taviner (Paul Usher), who was killed off in the Episode No. 199 (End of the Road) had his last appearance in a documentary Des and Reg Uncovered, broadcast after his final episode. The character was already dead, and the episode is a documentary not part of the storyline. They also keep removing the departures list, an important part of the page as it lists all cast changes. I am sick and tired of this person trying to justify a false case, and having to revert edits every time I come onto the wiki because they simply undo the whole edit as opposed to change one thing. 108.180.241.236 (talk) 06:42, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not that familiar with the The Bill beyond watching a couple of episodes. I recommend you bring it up on the talk page with references to support your case. I also suggest you make a Wikipedia account to make it easier for people to contact you. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 00:33, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

My Misandry edit -

Wasn't neutral at all, but for a good cause - it was meant to point out the ways in which the article is already pushing a POV. The claims that men are working in more dangerous jobs due to a hatred of men as a sex isn't proven at all, and runs up against the easy counter of safety inspections and modern medicine - which have lowered the death rate dramatically, and also - male employers.

Suicide is another example - more women attempt suicide, but as a group, prefer methods like overdose and cutting - methods which will give them plenty of time for second thoughts, or to be interrupted, and which are much easier for health care providers to deal with, than gunshots and jumping. By contrast, too many men aren't taking advantage of the services out there, designed to help them.

Claiming misandry here, while understandable, is also simplistic, naïve, and an editorial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.234.85.177 (talk) 08:34, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Rajasthan Assembly Page

The article for Rajasthan Assembly contained a most unwarranted section for 'Leader of Opposition'. Somebody who could be sycophant of the current Opposition Leader may have inserted it, so I removed it. It did not give any historical perspective about that post. The main page does not even contain a link for 'leader of the house' which is a more important post. But it contained a frivolous section for LoP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.228.13.71 (talk) 13:25, 26 December 2014 (UTC) "

Its entirely appropriate to have a section on the leader of the opposition on an assembly page, and the wording was not sycophantic. Rather than removing it you could add information on the BJP chief minister and council of ministers. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 21:45, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Misterinterloper

Haminoon, your edits to User talk:Misterinterloper were inappropriate. You put a warning on him for deleting a speedy deletion tag, but he did not in fact do so. The deletion tag he removed was a proposed deletion tag, which says right on it that any editor is free to remove it, thereby aborting the proposed deletion of the article.

Note also that per WP:REMOVED there is nothing wrong with a user removing warnings and other comments from their talk page. It was not necessary for you to revert the removal.--Srleffler (talk) 04:52, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Regarding the talk page revert, maybe Haminoon thought that it was one of the cases that are supposed to be reverted? WP:REMOVED mentions some cases where it is prohibited for a user to remove content from their talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 05:03, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Barnaby Miln edit

I have added source links and reverted what I wrote. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.254.9 (talk) 13:11, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Haminoon. I have to tell you that ‘He was subsequently jailed for embezzlement from these homes.’ is not a fact - and should be removed without delay. Even if it was factual, under the UK’s Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 it would be spent and not able to be quoted.

The reference to working as Bursar of the City of Westminster residential care homes is accurate - but I have been unable over many years to find a citation for it, and so would not mind if it was removed altogether. Barnaby Miln — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.182.214.219 (talk) 11:31, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Barnaby, I have changed the wording to reflect the references. My understanding of the act is that spent convictions can't be mentioned if intended for malice, and I can assure you that the guardian and myself bear no malice towards you. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 22:30, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Dick Black

I have restored the edits I made to the Dick Black (politician) page in an attempt to make the page an honest recording of the man. The information I removed was slanderous and inaccurate. People have continuously been trying to use his Wikipedia page as a means of slandering this man instead of an honest portrayal of his career. All information I have place on the page is cited by references and all biographical information comes straight from the Senator himself. Please stop making changes that place derogatory and incorrect information on this page. (Ashburnian) Jan. 8, 2015 — Preceding undated comment added 04:40, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Which information was slanderous or inaccurate? It was all reliably sourced. Haminoon (talk) 07:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

You keep citing a Mother Jones article that is filled with falsehoods and outright lies. For instance, Black never opposed making marital rape a crime and in fact voted for the bill making marital rape a crime. In addition, the supposed quote given by Mother Jones by Sen. Black about military rape is completely unsourced in the article and untrue.

If you look at the original posting of Tiller54 to this page dated 20 Jan., 2014 (check the revision history of this page), you will see that this user created an attack page, which is forbidden by Wikipedia rules, and should have qualified this page for deletion or revision back to the original stub. I have been trying to create an accurate portrayal of Senator Black, and every time I do, you and another user keep restoring this page back nearly to the original attack page that was created here.

I am trying to remove contentious material that is unsourced or poorly sourced per the BLP guidelines. Specifically, "Material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism." The Mother Jones article is tabloid journalism. Please stop reverting my changes. Ashburnian (talk) 02:52, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

User:Tiller54 appears to be a fine upstanding editor to me. For further replies please see the article talk page. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 00:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

1RR violation

The Israel Project article , and most certainly the passage you keep reverting which reads ' the Israel Project, "seem to exist for no other reason than to spotlight the very worst aspects of Muslim societies." -is subject, like all other article related to the Israeli-Arab conflict to a 1RR limitation. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Arab-Israeli_Arbitration_Enforcement .

Apologies

I did not mean to imply you had made up a citation. I was arguing that you were citing a source that did not provide any proof that the quote they were giving was accurate and was, in fact, given. The Mother Jones article did not provide any source information or context, and when I spoke to Senator Black he did not recall giving that quote. That is why I was so determined to have it removed. I believed that Mother Jones made up the citation. I also should have made the issue of context clear. I apologize for any offense I may have given you.Ashburnian (talk) 06:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

G4 speedy tagging

Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages, an under-appreciated but essential task. Just a note about your recent tag on AIP&T: WP:CSD#G4 is only for cases where a previous deletion was by AfD (or another deletion discussion such MfD). AIP&T had been deleted before, but by a speedy, not AfD. In that case, the thing to do is just tag it again with the same speedy, assuming the reason still applies.

While that may be all well and good on 4chan, this is a informational website where such media doesn't belong.That Guy from 4chan (talk) 10:04, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I have never posted on 4chan and likely never will. Would you like to explain what is racist on the Bhutanese Passport page, for those of us who don't wish to read 4chan? Haminoon (talk) 10:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

I will humor you. It is a racist impression of Bhutanese accent that is under some sort of sound filter to make it sound robotic.That Guy from 4chan (talk) 10:17, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

You are mistaken. The editor who made it is from Bhutan and has contributed many worthwhile articles regarding Bhutan to both the English and Dzongkha wikipedias. You can confirm this yourself by looking up their editing history. Adding effects to boring speeches is common for many South Asian audio productions - to confirm this just listen to the local adverts on your local Indian radio station. And then please ask your fellow 4chan users to reconsider their predjudices. Haminoon (talk) 10:25, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Well I must simply assume your telling the truth as to having never visited 4chan. If that is the case then let me be the one to inform you that there is no reasoning with 4chan. Much of it's user base consists of racist, homophobic, sexist, disturbed, and generally prejudiced people. Not all are like this though. The site is famous for its anonymity of its users and total willingness to discuss any topic. This is what attracts the better half of the site. It is hard to find a place where the only limit to discussion is illegal content.

Back to the subject at hand. I acted a bit rashly with the repetitive removal of the sound file. Since your argument is soundly logical I will again take your word for it. I only acted on what seemed right. I will, hereon, cease deleting the file till I can take out the time to check for the information myself. An event which is unlikely to come to pass.That Guy from 4chan (talk) 10:43, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Boervolk

You removed my recent edit to the page Boer and stated that it appears to have incorrect information; however I do believe that the information was correct. It is however difficult to cite a reliable source except those mentioned in the edit. Mainstream media coverage of Boer perspectives are tainted with propaganda or politics, and social media discussions or emails are not permitted. It is believed that the Boers should speak for themselves, and I have ample evidence in my possession stating the true facts. Numerous Boer meetings took place since 16 December 2014, and if you wish, I can refer Boer representatives to partake in this discussion. It may however shift heated debates between Boers and Afrikaners in the social media to Wikipedia, and I doubt if that would be in the best interest of the article. Furthermore it may also spark renewed debates about reliable sources, as who is best qualified to state the truth about the Boers? Is it the 'hostile' British or South African media, the numerous political factions falsely claiming to represent Boer interests, or the Boer representatives at official Boer meetings (and their official publications)?. My edit (and links) represent the facts from the latter. It should however be noted that today, there is still a conflict of interest between Boers and the Afrikaners. If that is ignored, the Boer page will only reflect the interests and opinions of the 'Super Afrikaners', who controlled society during during Apartheid

Response on Chiapas article, and maybe some advice for a new user?

Hi there, I'm the guy from the Chiapas conflict article. I want to apologize. I did not mean to break any rules. I'm new here, and just created my account (something I had been thinking about doing for a while, and finally decided to do). Up until now most edits I did (as an anonymous user) were just small stuff, things like fixing a grammar mistake, or changing a list of something, like lists of elected officials after the US midterm elections (since some new people were coming in), or updating stuff for current events. So I probably should not have jumped into something without knowing all the protocols. I do want to say that I agree with others who raised the issue that the article in question is not in any way neutral, and is heavily slanted towards the EZLN side of the conflict. But I will simply offer suggestions in the "Talk" section. I promise will work to get myself some experience with the inner workings of Wikipedia before I do anything else bigger. At the moment, I am most comfortable with the small-scale changes I mentioned before.

Now on a related note, I want to know if you have any advice for a rookie like me. Anything I could do to build up my knowledge about how to edit articles? I'm open to any kind of advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secureline (talk • contribs) 03:57, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for correcting random vandalism from Australian university IP

Hi there! I saw you corrected another error introduced by 192.43.227.18, which seems to be a place with one or more users who are either sincerely trying to contribute (but unskilled at distinguishing truth from fiction, and uninterested in engaging on talk pages) or trying to see what kinds of random nonsense they can get away with sticking into Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion of "Love in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

While I applaud you being a good Wikipedia soldier for vandalism and the like, I'm curious why you chose my article about "Love in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" for speedy deletion. I checked out your "criteria" link and could find nothing that matched a good reason for a speedy deletion.

I am not the author, publicist or employee of the publishing company...just a science fiction fan who won an advanced copy of the book in a contest and loved it. Upon research, I found a slew of great reviews and decided that there is no reason that it shouldn't have a page. Further, the book is published by a major publisher and I accurately indexed the reviews in the article. I have no other tie to it so it's not "self-promotion. (By the way I saw some negative reviews the other day and would have added those as well as I pride myself in being a balanced contributor.)

If you claim that the subject is not notable enough or that it hadn't been released yet, I counter with the fact that every movie coming out in the next year (and many in future years) have articles, so why would an article about a movie released by a major studio trump a book released by a major publisher? I know we all hold movies in high regards these days, but books do in fact hold their own in our culture and it's sad to me that an encyclopedia that relies on the reading and writing of words would be a little more sensitive to the writers and readers of books.

That said, thanks for doing the dirty work that nobody enjoys. But do, please consider reinstating this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redlemur (talk • contribs) 19:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi Redlemur. I tagged the article quite some time ago and do not remember the contents of it but I presume the notability wasn't demonstrated, and the admin who deleted it considered it carefully before deleting it. It is unusual for a book that has just been published to reach the notability standards required (see the link I left on your talk page). As I am not an admin I can not reinstate the article. However it may be a good idea to ask an admin to userfy the article, and then make an article on the book's author. Regards, Haminoon (talk) 00:40, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Daniel DC Caldwell, I

I do not want to be impolite, but please allow me to express my standpoint. This person page was inappropriately and ARBITRARILY flagged for speedy deletion under the A7 tag specifically contrary to the guidance of that criteria, then the flag was PROMPTLY contested showing the article cited MULTIPLE credible, notable, relevant, and reliable sources (at least one for every part of a claim), and the article was still removed without ANY discussion. Please revert and restore the deleted page, and feel free to call me, 512-761-5740.

"It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines. If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied. Often what seems non-notable to a new page patroller is shown to be notable in a deletion discussion." Meanwhile, by comparison, Keyaira D. Saunders, another candidate, has not been so rudely discriminated against. Who am I supposed to report this abuse to? (besides Haminoon, as the nominator, and, Bbb23, as the deleter, of course)DCdanielcaldwell 04:17, 29 March 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alwaysremember (talk • contribs)

Hi @Alwaysremember:, Apologies but I don't have the finances to ring phone numbers from the other side of the world. The deletion flag wasn't inappropriate. I didn't see the talk page discussion and I didn't delete the article. I am not an admin so I can't restore the page or see the deleted page. I'm not sure what your point is about Saunders - their page was also deleted. Abuse can be reported to WP:ANI. -- haminoon (talk) 06:58, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay, @Haminoon:, I get what you are saying about the phone; you're right, I should have given a Skype ID. Hopefully my venting was not too blunt; sorry if it was. The Saunders link is still live, so I think you are mistaken on that point, and I still do not see what claim you said is/was not credible. Anyhow, thank you for the apology (no hard feelings) and redirect.DCdanielcaldwell (talk) 07:09, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

One of the issues is whether it is original research to cite to elements in the film itself (including props, dialogue, and a statement in the end credits that it was "filmed on location in New York City") to establish setting.

March 2015

Your recent editing history at Willy Moon shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Cebr1979 (talk) 10:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked for 24 hours from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

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.  — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:35, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi @MusikAnimal: and @Malik Shabazz:; I'm wondering if I could get some advice so this doesn't happen again. This block appears to be for breaking the 1RR on New Israel Fund. Firstly an explanation: I previously thought 1RR related to reverting the same material, not different parts of the same article. I read the policy after seeing Shabazz's comment here, and went to self-revert but it was too late as Jeppiz had put the page back to its earlier state. I noticed that Richie1921 received a WP:ARBPIA alert but I didn't.

The issue started when Richie1921 made a large number of edits in short succession to the article. Most, but not all of them were damaging edits. I undid several of them, leaving explanations as to why in the edit summaries, article talk page, and his user talk page (hence the template above being a little misleading). It appears Richie1921 learnt something from this. Would mass-reverting all of them at once be within the 1RR rule? The only other choice would be to revert one per day, which would leave the article unusable for weeks. Is mass-reverting after talk page discussion the best way to deal with this type of situation? -- haminoon (talk) 23:17, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

tl;dr version: I should ignore the wp:Ignore all rules rule right? -- haminoon (talk) 00:24, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Haminoon. To answer some of your questions: WP:3RR and WP:1RR generally apply without regard to the specific content being reverted. WP:IAR is rarely an acceptable explanation for violating 3RR or 1RR. I left an alert about WP:ARBPIA for Richie1921 because he is a new editor; I saw that you had already been notified about the 1RR restriction. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:49, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Maungauika / North Head Historic Reserve

A tag has been placed on Maungauika / North Head Historic Reserve requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

List of World Heritage Sites in Oceania

I'm no expert on tables. I couldn't figure out how to narrow the width on the first column of this table. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_Heritage_Sites_in_Oceania#Sites I suspect you may know. Aaabbb11 (talk) 06:23, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

@Aaabbb11:, At the beginning of that section the text is

{|class="wikitable plainrowheaders sortable" ! scope="col" style="width:15%;" |

Just change the 15 to a smaller number (like 10). This will narrow the "site" column and widen the "description" column. -- haminoon (talk) 08:04, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Identifying which if a source is reliable or not

You have continuously reverted my contributions to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maithripala_Sirisena stating that my citations are not from reliable sources. Could you explain why the sources I have cited are nor reliable (specially the data taken from the state owned Department of Statistics and the Department of Elections)? I will appreciate it. --Sadeera (talk) 10:11, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

I have reverted them once, not continuously. I never said the sources were unreliable; I said it was original research. As I wrote in your talk page your edit combined "published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say." I provided links on your talk page about this. How about you read them first? -- haminoon (talk) 10:16, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I guess you are referring to two statements I have added to the article.
1. I have stated what are the majority ethnic groups in the given electoral districts based on the data from the Department of Statistics and Census.
2. I have stated the number of electorates the each candidate has won based on the data from the Department of Elections.
Neither of the above sources falls in to the category of original research and which one of the above are you referring to when you say "published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say"? Thanks, --Sadeera (talk) 10:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

The text you added was "Sirsena was the winner in 12 electoral districts 6 of which consisted of predominantly Tamil or Muslim minorities whilst Rajapaksa was victorious in the remaining 10 where the majority was the Sinhalese.", but one reference doesn't mention Sirsena, while the other one doesn't mention the ethno-religious makeup of the electorates. I suggest you read WP:OR more carefully. -- haminoon (talk) 21:58, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Unfair calling out

Hello,

So, there is another editor who keeps blanking material, under one false pretense first ("term not claimed by subject", as if that were a valid blanking reason) and then under another (BLP violation, which I would agree, except there was never an articulation of how or why it is a BLP violation).

I repeatedly invited the other editor to articulate her POV on the TP, without her ever providing a shred of articulation, as outlined above.

The material unfairly blanked out consisted of straight up citations from BBC, Washington Post, Black Entertainment Television, CNN, and CBS New York.

What do I get? An unfair warning. From you.

What does the other editor get? Nothing that is visible on the timeline.

Thank you for the warning. XavierItzm (talk) 11:01, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
