Hello Jim1138. Just a quick note of thanks for reporting IP 209.65.85.135. I was headed to AIV for the same reason. Vandal fighting is a never ending task here and your quick action helped protect WikiP and I appreciate it. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 19:49, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for ruining my day=
Why did you send this message to me? I have not edited Wikipedia today as I have not logged into my account. What you are doing is harrassment and if it carries on, I will be forced to make a formal complaint to Wikipedia about you. How dare you. How bloody dare you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.4.182.233 (talk) 08:35, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- Somebody probably using your computer did edit RI:SE click "My contributions" in the upper right corner of the page. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 08:40, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not making disruptive edits. Ok I was at first, but look at what I am changing before you judge me. The links that are cited don't substantiate what is said at all. It's public relations' lies and shame on you for allowing them to continue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.160.245 (talk) 23:50, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
- The cited source makes no reference to "Hindu" nor "fundamentalist". Would suggest it is wp:or. Jim1138 (talk) 23:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
My UALR page "vandalism" is not vandalism at all, thank you
If someone makes an edit you don't like, that doesn't automatically make it vandalism. You might remind Junipel of that.
My edits to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock page are intended to inform the public and are made using sourced, verifiable statements of fact.
In my opinion, the university is located in an area of Little Rock that should be declared a demilitarized zone and patrolled by UN peacekeeping forces, but I didn't write THAT in the article.
Junipel just wants to sweep the facts under the rug, and only allow the establishment-approved information. Moonbeam 2012 (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- Please discuss it in talk: talk:University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Compared with most articles on universities, there is way too much on safety. This is called undue bias and is not a neutral point of view Also, please read about the 3 revert rule Jim1138 (talk) 01:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Why are you deleting everything I edit now? Who the hell do you think you are? Moonbeam 2012 (talk) 02:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I'm willing to discuss anything, anywhere. If a university is having an ongoing crime problem, and UALR is, putting that (sourced) information into a wikipedia article is NOT "undue bias" regardless of what you, or Junipel, says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonbeam 2012 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
I was only fixing the WP:UNDUE concern. If there is a source concern also, feel free to reverse my edit, but please discuss the issue with the original contributor :) ZZArch talk to me 05:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Rawalakot- Notable persons
The notable person Ghulam Ahmad you added and claimed to be from rawalakot is plainly untrue, you gave a wiki reference that he is on wikipedia, as per wiki profile, he was born in Indian poonch, and he worked for indian airforce, apart from that he had a company in pakistan for mining, how does it make him notable person. I lived in rawalakot many years and regularly visit there, never heard of Ghulam Ahmad from anyone. This suggests me that either you are Ghulam Ahmead or related to him. I would not like lied to be added on this page.
- Ghulam Ahmad died in 2003 as did Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan. There are sources on the web tying him to Rawalakot. Jim1138 (talk) 01:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
I see you are running away from facts. You haven't yet told me why Ghulam Ahmad is notable in Rawalakot? Would you like to cite a source here which links him to Rawalakot. All notable person on rawalakot page are very well known in whole state of Jammu & kashmir, all except one remained president of the state. Please explain your relationship with Ghulam Ahmad, are you his sibling? No way Mr Ghulam Ahmad is notable or anyone knows him in rawalakot. I lived and worked in Rawalakot for many years and rawalakot district (poonch) is my birth place. Please correct the page here. riz 13:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- Fact is Ghulam Ahmad lived in and is buried in Rawalakot. Why do say otherwise? It is supported by numerous sources: try google. Seem to be many that are not Wikipedia based. BTW: I am American and have no relatives from Pakistan or that area. Jim1138 (talk) 18:07, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- You haven't explained what makes him notable in Rawalakot. I see the wikipedia page about Ghulam Ahmad, only link or connection he had with Rawalakot is that there is a picture of grave presubamly burried somewhere in Rawalakot. There are thousands of people burried in Rawalakot, it does not make any of them notable. Please stop distorting the facts, if you want to make him notable, do something for Rawalakot. Furthermore, President of United Arab Emirates Sheikh Khalifa has donated a multi-million dollar hospital in Rawalakot after earthquake of 2005, he is not even in the list of notable persons, so again I ask you what Ghulam Ahmad has done for rawalakot which makes him notable. Either present the facts or remove him. Thanks riz 00:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talk • contribs)
- If Ghulam Ahmad meets Wikipedia:Notability_(people) and lived in Rawalakot then he is notable for inclusion in Rawalakot. If there is policy stating otherwise, please let me know. Jim1138 (talk) 05:39, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

- I dont really much care about this issue, but I believe that Riztech needs to be more courteneous. There is not need to use such language. Clearly he can say these things nicely and in manner by listing the issues and the criteria, however, there is Wikepedia policy that bans editors for using such languange, as it is not conducive to a debate. I dont know how old you are Riztech, but maybe you should take it easy. Stop threatening and just do edits and in a nice discussions

EagleEye 02:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC) @EagleEye my comments were for Jim1138 "Put up or shut up" phrase does not come under offensive language criteria of wikipedia. As you and all others can see none of you gave any reason why Ghulam Ahmad is notable and only reason given was "he is burried in Rawalakot". All the links you both provide are wikipedia pages which are made by you guys.
Now I have a firm belief that you both are his siblings, probably his sons. I made a comment about Jim1138 and you felt the pain why? The subject of comment was Ghulam Ahmad so what prompted you to be so offensive? I can see on my talk page, previously you suggested to ban me for a reason another editor ridiculed and I was surprised to see where did you come into the scene. Before your suggestion I did not edit any of your page, neither had any issue with you but you made everything. why? And where did I make any threat? can you point out my threatening words towards you?
It is time for you to make neutral contribution on wikipedia and stop promoting your relatives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talk • contribs) 02:29, 14 February 2012 (UTC) Hey Jim I guess we are long lost brothers. This chap is like most people in Pakistan, conspiracy theories ? Maybe he needs to grow up and get a life. In any case. He is violating the Wiki policies for taking things personal so I recommend he be permanently banned.
EagleEye 15:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Why don't you simply give reasons in favour of your belief? @EagleEye I haven't seen any contribution by you in any article? Why is that. You only contribute in talk pages criticising others? Are you using multiple ids on wikipedia? Who are you really? I would recommend admins to check your ip and compare with Jim1138 and Trueblood786.
Regarding Ghulam Ahmad I have serious concerns on the section "Philanthropy" where it sates as I quote "He gave scholarships for education of residents of Poonch District, particularly members of the Sudhan tribe, resulting in hundreds of graduates in engineering and medicine", can someone give me names an dcontact details of 5 students whom he gave scholarships and they became doctors and engineers? I can provide you direct contact numbers of Legislative Assemby Members from Rawalakot area including president of Azad Kashmir. As claimed by page writer if Ghulam Ahmad gave hundreds of scholarships resulting hundreds of medical doctors and engineers, everyone including president of Azad Kashmir (as they are from same area) will vouch for him. What do you say EagleEye. riz 02:09, 15 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talk • contribs)
Ghulam Ahmad
I dont see what the issue is. There has been no issue for yeas, until Riztik makes one up. This article is clearly, accurate, if there are incaccuracies they should be shown, without even stating what the incaccuracies are you have tagged this. I have edited Wikipedia for a long time and never had these issues. I will appreciate if you would tell me what these issues are, so they can be resolved. 75.0.2.227 (talk) 20:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- Discuss it in talk, if it is resolved in a few days, then remove the tags. wp:removing tags. Won't hurt anything being there for awhile. Many articles have them. Jim1138 (talk) 20:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- It is simply distortation of facts. Ghulam Ahmad was born in Indian Kashmir, never lived in Rawalakot, no one in Rawalakot knows him except if he has any close relatives there. He is recently added in notable people's section, he was not there as claimed by Jim1138. In his biography on wikipedia he is been linked with Sudhan tribe, he is Sheikh. Jim1138 if you remove him (and donot add again) from notable section of Rawalakot I will overlook other issues. riz 01:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talk • contribs)
I have no idea what is up with this guy. He keeps on removing things. Whether the person was born in Indian Kashmir, He was born in Poonch, which prior to the partition of Pakistan was the headquarters of Rawalakot as well. In fact Ghulam Ahmad Father was the first Head Master of the school in Rawalakot.
EagleEye 03:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
@EagleEye You and Jim haven't explained why this person Ghulam Ahmad should be included in notable person's section of Rawalakot. You come up with strange explanations, as said by you "In fact Ghulam Ahmad Father was the first Head Master of the school in Rawalakot", what that has to do with Ghulam Ahmad, so you think since his father was a headmaster, he should be notable person? There are hundreds of headmasters in Azad Kashmir, by taking your approach all of them should be in notable section. Are you and Jim1138 relative of Ghulam Ahmad or some kind of beneficiary from him? Be fair, should Ghulam Ahmad stay with three presidents of Azad Kashmir as notable person? a BIG NO. riz 03:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talk • contribs)
Jim, can you explain to me what this riztech guy is trying to do. Also I have added the references and they are no longer dead.

"tyres" in Bugatti Veyron article.
Just curious, why is it correct for an american website talking about a german car to use british spelling? I wouldn't change tyre in an Aston or TVR page to tire, but talking about a german car it would seem valid to use the most populous english spelling form, which would be TIRE. Thanks, Eric

- This is the English language Wikipedia. It includes US, Canada, England, Ireland, India, Australia, and many other countries that use English (besides their dominate language). Wikipedia policy is to not change between English variants. If an article starts with Australian English, it should remain that way. One exception is if the article is about, say something specifically British. Then it would be proper to change it to the British spellings. In that it was already tyres means that it probably should remain so. Though it could have been switched (check history). If it was switched, a very clear edit summary and perhaps an entry in the talk page would prevent being flagged. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
About reverting Health in Japan for vandalism
Hi, my edit, which was reverted by you, was intended to remove a sections in one of the two different articles. I just wanted to let you know that the two sections in Health in Japan#Access to care and Health care system in Japan#Access are almost identical, and I believe the access to health care is more appropriate to be placed in the latter article only, which discusses about the health care system itself.

En Esch article
Hello, I saw your note about my edit of the article on En Esch. I certainly want to comply with all Wiki rules, so I'm respectfully asking you how to handle: En Esch's real name is Nicklaus. (I originally mispelled it as Nicholas). His bandmates call him Nick. I have met him personally several times, and I asked about his name, and he verified that it's Nicklaus. The letter "S" is pronounced as "esh" in German, so he used his initials to form his name. En Esch As far as a source or a verification, I don't know how to verify this. How do you verify that Whitney Houston's name was Whitney? I mean, I'm not writing anything controversial, and I'm not giving an opinion. The man's name is Nicklaus. He told me himslef, and there are many audio clips and interviews where his bandmates call him Nick. "Klaus" is just a German-sounding name that is short form of Nicklaus. Wiki editor MrMustacheMM is perpetuating that mis-information. As his source, he is finding a random website that incorrectly lists "Klaus" as the name. But I can just as easily choose a web site like http://dictionary.sensagent.com/en+esch/en-en/ and use that as my source. "What is En Esch's real name" is a common google search, and Wikipedia is a source that a lot of people turn to. I'd hate to see people get the wrong information just because user MrMustacheMM is wrong. I'd be happy to abide by any rules/suggestions you have, but the bottom line is that the man's name is Nicklaus, and Wiki should reflect that asap.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.44.53 (talk) 01:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
- It appears you put "Nicholas Schandelmaier" rather than "Nicklaus Schandelmaier" in the name. The reference [1] names him "Klaus Schandelmaier" which is probably what confused me and others. Goggle did not return any hits for "Nicholas Schandelmaier" and "En Esch" likely adding to the assumption that it was vandalism. I added his two names to the top of the page and a couple of references supporting them. A good edit summary indicating your intent always helps support your changes and prevent the vandal patrol thinking it to be vandalism and reverting it. Please check up on my changes to En Esch and fix any problems you see. As it is your talk page, you can remove those rude messages. Thank you for the message and contributions. Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 04:20, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Roy Brown
Hi Jim1138. Just a polite note on editing Roy Brown (RAF officer). Although some of your reverts to User:Shawsara's edits have been exempt from WP:3RR as they're just plain disruptive ([1]), others could be construed as a content dispute. While Shawsara is offering no referenced alternative, I fully support your edits – but it would be quite hypocritical of me to warn them of 3RR and not leave you a note. Hope that's OK! All the best, matt (talk) 09:56, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
Roy Brown
I will find suitable references and cite the changes I make to the Roy Brown article. Just to be clear though, when I find these sources am I allowed to delete the content when my sources prove it to be wrong? Thanks. (Shawsara (talk) 10:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC))
- There are many sources questioning Roy Brown for shooting down Manfred von Richthofen. Therefore, that should not be removed unless it is overwhelmingly refuted. If you have a good source that strongly supports Roy Brown, I'd love to see it (and read about it). Any good sources should be included (though not to excess). If you find sources calling into question the reliability of the Australian (or other) theories, those should be included. You should consider the chaos that would happen in most articles if someone with theory B deleted all references to theory A. Even Einstein would not be safe. As I said, I don't care who shot down Richthofen, just that the article be accurate. Please take the time to review "both sides". Thanks for your message. Cheers!

Harry Belafonte Edit
Hello Jim:
You recently reverted changes I made to Harry Belafonte's birth name as well as the name of his father when Mr. Belafonte was born. You indicated that my changes were disruptive and reverted them. First off, the changes are correct and I have a source that cites Mr. Belafonte's birth name.
Harry Belafonte was born Harold George Bellanfanti, Jr. to Melvine Love and Harold George Bellanfanti, Sr. The source is Harry Belafonte My Song a Memoir with Michael Shnayerson published by Albert A. Knopf (2011). His birth name and date of birth are on page 17 of the above-referenced book. Also, Mr. Belafonte's father is Jamaican not Martiniquan. That needs to be changed as well. This is referenced on page 16 of the same book. Please make these changes or allow me to do so.
Also, it would help if you correspond with people before reverting changes. Especially, if you don't possess knowledge of the changes or can prove that the changes are indeed inaccurate.
Thanks,

Applies to more than just bread. wp:bold is acceptable, but please check more sources before doing wholesale changes. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

- Darn, you are more correct than I thought! I googled "toasted corn nuts" (149,000 hits) and "roasted corn nuts" (113,000). Not too much difference between the two. "Toasted sesame" (4,000,000) "roasted sesame" (923,000) does a bit better, but both still should be included in the article. I apologize for being so cranky!

Strangeness while reverting IP at List of natural disasters by death toll
After I saw your revert of IP:203.100.2.69, I checked the page history and noticed that my previous revert of the same IP had only reverted two of the user's three edits prior to my revert. The edit made to section Avalanches just prior to my revert was still there. I was surprised I didn't get an edit conflict there, but there is more: When I then tried to restore the page to the clean Feb 20 version by User:Shrigley, I hit save and nothing happened. I was taken to the current visible version of the page, and there was no record of my edit anywhere. When I tried it again for a second time, it worked fine. Just for own my curiosity sake, would you happen to have any explanation for what just happened to me with all that? It was kind of strange. --Racerx11 (talk) 04:46, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- Glad you caught it! Your first revert does not seem to have gotten any specific set of edits by the IP. A diff of yours and any of the three does not show an empty diff such as this diff. Perhaps an interpreted transfer? Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 04:54, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah I think I see what you mean. This diff [2] of mine does not include the individual edits made to the avalanche section, even though that revision is displayed as the prior one. Odd. I suppose this may be some sort of glitch. I have recently just started using Twinkle so maybe that has something to do with it.
- I have seen stranger things now that I think about it. I reminds me of the time cluebot reverted some vandalism, the letters "lol", but the letters remained on the visible page for several hours, even though the "lol" was nowhere to be found in the edit window. Both myself and another editor tried to delete what we thought was a hidden code or something, but none of our attempted edits were showing up in the edit histories or anything. There wasn't even any record of the edit that ultimately resulted in the vandalism being removed the visible page. That one really had me scratching my head.--Racerx11 (talk) 05:17, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Part of the problem is that you were incorrectly removing Alice0000's fixes to the references. Adding the deletion template is correct and necessary, but that doesn't mean that you can remove the necessary info in the refs at the same time. Qwyrxian (talk) 08:00, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Drunken Elephants Behaving Badly
Jim: I am well acquainted with the concept of citations to authority. I am retired from an occupation where the rules of appellate procedure permit the imposition of monetary sanctions against someone who files a brief with the court that includes assertions of fact without citations to the record.
I just could not pass up the irony. I watched the movie "The Water Elephant" and was moved to learn more about elephants. Naturally, I came to Wikipedia. I probably visit Wikipedia five times a day on average. Near the end of a very informative and well-written article about elephants there appeared a section that began, and I paraphrase: "What follows is unconfirmed and, basically, rural myth." That is followed by a funny, but unlikely, tale of bad behavior (by human standards) by drunken elephants. I laughed out loud. Drunken elephants? Seriously? How much liquor must be "inadvertently" left out to render an elephant intoxicated? Five elephants? The whole idea is absurd on its face. And then when I got to the part about the people chasing the misbehaving elephants, I could not help but surmise that those very same people who were drinking so much that they inadvertently left out enough liquor to intoxicate multiple elephants were surely very intoxicated themselves. So basically I had two intentions: (1) float the suggestion that the "unconfirmed reports" were more likely describing, basically, a bar fight between drunken humans and elephants and; (2) hope that the Wikipedia busybody who came to revert might possibly notice the irony in reverting for lack of citation an addition to a long paragraph that begins "unconfirmed reports… ."

hi
I originally posted the The Dragon Family (disambiguation) in the sandbox[3], then asked stigmaWP (on irc) to put it live. But now we are wondering about the redlink dab policy. I'm looking if enough material is available to create an article about The Dragon Families_(gang) and/or The Dragon Family_(Families) (or some title like that)
According to the court case the families are the owners of almost all US bonds. But I would need a reliable source that dares to talk about that. For the dab to have a right to exist it only needs 2 entries. This is why I removed the gangsters, I'm not much interested in working at that.
You get the point.
But thanks for saving my work
I'm sorry
For being mean to you and accusing you of being mean when I was the one being it. I was acting childish. I know you may not care about this message, but I owed it to you to write it. I hope we get along in the future :). SKeptical of Love (talk) 09:55, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Baby Sitting Section
Hello Jim,
I was only trying to post the advisory section on the site. I have now posted on babysitting- talk as to why that link I posted was better than existing links. It simply has more information and important checks. Do have a look at it. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TDL 87 (talk • contribs) 12:43, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- The site seems to have good information, but it is primarily a profit site. I.e. spam. Jim1138 (talk) 07:35, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Copyright
If you are going to post false accusations of Copyright on my talk page, perhaps you should cite references of this. There is nothing that is copyrighted on the page you listed Bombay Beach which isn't in quotes, by the way. Also the page is newly created and still in the process of being edited when you posted immediately to my page - Catpowerzzz (talk) 01:46, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks again for the apology. - Catpowerzzz (talk) 02:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
PorshaBoy
Hi Jim. FWIW, I think PorshaBoy means well. The bulk of his edits are good. He is also an author and an expert on James Dean. He is just inexperienced imo. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- I had a bit of a problem with his link to James Dean's death car / wrecked car titled "muscle car sounds". That is inappropriate and vandalism. Jim1138 (talk) 02:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- The title of the link is gruesome. I just noticed it. I can't understand why he would do that. Perhaps I should ask him. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:39, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for reverting my talk / Request to check an ongoing case
Thank you for reverting my talk. It sounds to me that the user Narenpublic is Narendra Rocherolle, one of the founders of Webshots and this could be the reason for which he might have an interest in giving the article a positive bias. As a matter of fact, the user Looper72 has created a Wikipedia article on Narendra Rocherolle and has linked the Webshots article to it (Please note that this is the only founder with a Wikipedia Article on him).
Kindly, could you please check the talk page on Mr. Rocherolle's page and revise the case? In all honesty it sounds to me like an autobiography (discouraged by Wikipedia). At least another editor noted "Tagged as adver -> Reads like a Résumé", and deleted Mr. Narendra's twitter account link. Thanks! Jlascar 12:17, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
