Userfy Daybreak (folk) Request
editHi, I saw you listed here. Could you please userfy the deleted Daybreak (folk) for me? I need to add the notability info that would have kept if from being deleted in the first place. If it doesn't go there automagically, User:J Clear/Daybreak (folk) seems like a good place to put it. Thanks. --J Clear (talk) 00:21, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

- What happens with the old edit history? Unrecoverable? Magically comes back when moved to (Article) space? Wait until you recover it, too? Sorry if I'm being a pest, but this is my first attempted resurrection. --J Clear (talk) 16:23, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you! I will definitely holler with questions. In the meantime, could you also look at two other Oklahoma artists? One is TIMOTHY LONG and the other M.J. ALEXANDER. I also have many more to do and appreciate feedback.
Thanks again,

Bethel Church, Mansfield Woodhouse protection
editThank you for your prompt attention to my request for protection for this article. I am, however, wondering why it didn't get full protection as requested. I've been watching this article for years, seen it go through many changes, and it has been under constant attack from vandals. Semi-protecting it for 10 days isn't going to stop them, unfortunately. I know it isn't a very important article in the grand scheme of things, it isn't The Red Sox or anything, but it's important to me, and to many other people whose lives have been touched, damaged, ruined, even, by these churches. That the article stays intact is so important, and only full protection can guarantee that. Anyway, thank you for locking it up so quickly! o0pandora0o (talk) 23:18, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
- Is it then possible to have permanent semi-protection? Keep the anonymous vandals and the non-autoconfirmed from being able to edit? Because they won't give up, they will come back. 82.2.31.240 and 81.138.10.158 have already proven that they will come back after one semi-protect to vandalize. It's possible that, given that their IP addresses are in the UK, and close to the location of Bethel, they may be current members vandalizing with a purpose. So.. Is permanent semi-protection possible? -o0pandora0o (talk) 09:09, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, good deal. Thank you for your patience and time! :) o0pandora0o (talk) 16:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hello again! Looks like they're going to bring up the "Tyre" crap again. The article was written in such a way so that the whole Tyre shop/Tire shop argument could be put to bed. It was hashed out and settled way back in the archives. I don't know if you want to wait and see if they do it again, but last time they went after the article trying to add Tyre in, they kept at it. I know it's just a tiny little niggling thing, but it had been decided upon and finished when Cirt finished the article... Thanks!! o0pandora0o (talk) 15:01, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, they did it again today. o0pandora0o (talk) 19:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi there! I want to edit religion of Serbs in the right box
editI think it should be:
Serbian Orthodox, Roman Catholic (mostly in Dalmatia and Slavonia in present-day Croatia), Muslim (mostly in Raska and Bosnia and Herzegovina), Atheism
Since it is the truth, although today they are mostly declared Croats and Bosniaks, it is not true that they are not Serbs. It is the non-recognition of them as Serbs by Orhodox Serbs which led to their seccesion from their Serbian identity, and the subsequent loss of Serb territory including Dubrovnik, large chuncks of BiH, parts of Kosovo, as they assimilated into Albanians, instead being of Muslim Serbs, which they were.
Also, there is an Atheist population among Serbs, which is about equal to Catholics and Muslims in Serbia separate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zelja87 (talk • contribs) 08:33, 17 January 2010
- Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [1]. Unfortunately given the massive amounts of edit warring and POV-pushing that have happened at the Serbs article, I must decline to lift the page protection early. However if you would like to see something changed, you should feel free to bring it up for discussion on the article's talk page. That said, please note that as per official Wikipedia policy, "the threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." Regards, — Kralizec!

Abu Kalam Azad
editGood evening dear Kralizec,
I want to complain about some Users who vandalize many articles on Wikipedia and push their own POV´s on them. Some of them are Users like User:Ketabtoon who begin to edite all articles that is somehow related with Afghanistan, it´s people or culture, despite he has no knowledge about Afghanistan and it´s history. If you look on his contributions, you will see that he is always pushing unsourced and unreliable datas on articles and delete scientific and reliable sources, mostly scholarely. Be it about Ghurids, Persian language, Afghanistan, Ghaznavids or Tajiks and many more. He corrupts many articles which is a break of Wikipedia´s law (f.ex. here 1 or 2, 3 only three of many hundred of examples). He was many times reported but somewho he still occur on Wikipedia, although all his edites were banned by many Admins. The further point is, that he is known for beeing an ultra-nationalist Pashtun from Pakistan, who do not accept western, mostly scholaric and objective sources, except sources were terms like Afghan are used, so he can jump up and use it in a wrong context. For example as for Ghaznavids or Ghurids he was keeping the term for Pushtuns, while the term Afghan was used in Britannica for the Tajik people of modern Afghanistan who are also known by the law of Afghanistan as Afghans. He makes use of this point to claim and falsify all articles about culture, history, languages, countries etc. I ask you, as a member of the Admin-Team of Wikipedia and as a represant who is doing this job to provide the world the knowledge it needs, to do something against him. He and the User:119.73.4.199 (who is a banned User and a sock of many banned accounts; User:Khampalak, User:NisarKand etc.) are known for working with eachother. All edites of both Users are not only similar, but to 100% exactly the same, the kind of their writings and the kind how they push their POV´s and even the choise of their not reliable sources. As I mentioned they work together...or User:Ketabtoon is a sockpuppet of NisarKand, User:Khampalak etc. Wikipedia would be exonarated when the Admins would block and ban them from editing. As long Wikipedia accept them, articles will turn to slippery goods on Wikipedia and lose their accurate values.
For ca. 1 year ago, I was reading an article about Abul Kalam Azad, an Indian Muslim politician of Tajik origine. However, the article was using the term Afghan to tie him with Afghanistan, since his ancestors were from Herat, Afghanistan, a Persian/Tajik city. I was looking for sources on library and on the Net to exchange the term Afghan with Perian (Tajik). When I found them, I used a few of them. But some days later, the article was falsified by the User:119.73.4.199 and User:Ketabtoon from Persian to Pashtun, but not even back to Afghan (see on the state definition of Afghan, citizen), as you can see here. He claimed that the term Afghan mean Pashtuns and not Tajik. He did not want to understand the term was used to tie him with Afghanistan, as Britannica and other not scientific and reliable sources do, when it comes to regional heritage or origine of someone or something. For Abul Kalam Azad, I had the following sources where it was stated the person´s Persian origine:
http://www.bharatadesam.com/people/biographies/freedom_fighters/maulana_abul_kalam_azad.php
- India Wins Freedom; Orient Longman Book-Institute
- ^ Die politische Willensbildung in Indien 1900-1960; 1965, von Dietmar Rothermund
- ^ http://www.whereincity.com/india/great-indians/freedom-fighters/maulana-abul-kalam.php His mother was an Arab and the daughter of Sheikh Mohammad Zaher Watri and his father, Maulana Khairuddin, was a Bengali Muslim of Afghan (Tajik) origine. Khairuddin left India during the Sepoy Mutiny, proceeded to Mecca and settled there. He came back to Calcutta
The last source give in addition to the term Afghan as someone who comes from modern-day Afghanistan, his national ethnicity. But it is even interesting to see that User:Ketabtoon uses the same sources that grip on his Tajik ancestory for his Pashtun origine click here. They just jump over the sources and the sourced terms and exchange them with no opponent sources. I want to ask you, if you can give me the permission to correct the falsified paragraph in the article. I appreciate every help from your side. I am going to create an account for myself on Wikipedia and I would thank you very much if I could stand near to you. With best regards, dear friend--94.219.218.209 (talk) 23:12, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
The Rico402 swindler-boy

- I don't know why banned user Celebration1981 chose to trash me on this Talk page (using yet another IP to sock), but here he is. Why he thinks I'm using "the identity of an other existing person" is beyond me. I had an ongoing dialog with him for over a year -- originally as Stears81 (08-08-10 to 08-11-21) and various anon IPs -- before he was finally banned for violations too numerous too mention. Since then he's been using a string of anon IPs to sock, requiring admins to protect various articles. I invite you delete the above post and my reply at your discretion.

- Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. However next time I might suggest making a separate request at WP:RFPP, rather than putting multiple requests in the same line. — Kralizec! (talk) 00:12, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

- I would like to, but fear it would not be an appropriate use of my tools. However if I could make an alternative suggestion ... log out for the rest of the day and enjoy a walk in a local park. When WikiDrama starts to drive me nuts, I do this myself and find that it works wonders for putting things into perspective. Good luck! — Kralizec! (talk) 00:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Queen (band)
editHi. Why did you semi-protect the Queen (band) article? I see there was a request from Will1i6am, a new user who hasn't actually contributed to this article. But there is no recent vandalism of any significance on the article. There has been heavy editing of late, and a few differences in opinion, but certainly nothing that you could call vandalism or even edit warring. But consensus is being attained and overall edits have been constructive.
It makes little difference to me, but I can't help wondering what motivated this user to request protection on a page that doesn't have a problem. Thanks. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:31, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
Charvet
editI wrote several times to Racconish telling him that his reference to Hugo Chavez ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Charvet_customers ), President of the Republica Bolivariana de Venezuela, is based on false information, as appeared in an obscure Peruvian newspaper ( http://www.elregionalpiura.com.pe/editoriales/opiniones/miguelgodos/art_2006/godos_gorila.htm ). This article is defamatory and should't be used as a reference in Wikipedia.
This article about Charvet customers was proposed for deletion on November 2008 for beign not encyclopedic.
This article is being used right now (January 2010) for attacking President Chavez. An article in Wikipedia cannot use references with defamatory information.
As stated in Wikipedia:
"Wikipedia is a high-profile, widely viewed website with an international scope, which means that material we publish about living people can seriously affect their lives and the lives of their families, colleagues, and friends. Biographical material must therefore be written with great care and strict adherence to our content policies ...
Criticism and praise of the subject should be represented if it is relevant to the subject's notability and can be sourced to reliable secondary sources, and so long as the material is written in a manner that does not overwhelm the article or appear to take sides; it needs to be presented responsibly, conservatively, and in a neutral, encyclopedic tone...
Material about living persons must be sourced very carefully. Without reliable third-party sources, it may include original research and unverifiable statements, and could lead to libel claims.
Material available solely in questionable sources or sources of dubious value should not be used anywhere in the article, including in "Further reading" or "External links" sections...
Avoid repeating gossip. Ask yourself whether the source is reliable; whether the material is being presented as true; and whether, even if true, it is relevant to an encyclopedia article about the subject. When less-than-reliable publications print material they suspect is untrue, they often include weasel phrases and attributions to anonymous sources. "
I think these rules support my objections about this reference to President Hugo Chavez.

Can you help with photos?
editCould you help to illustrate National Register of Historic Places listings in Lucas County, Ohio? We at WP:NRHP need badly pictures for the Toledo area (including outside Lucas County), and I (as the only project member in western Ohio) have no chance to get up to the Toledo area. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 01:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, except for Henry County (it has just four sites, all of which I got in September; it was the only trip I've ever taken to Henry, Fulton, or Williams counties), all the Toledo metropolitan area counties are lacking plenty of pictures. There's nothing specific that I'd like to ask you to photograph; it's just a request to consider getting pictures for any and every site when you have the chance. I'd guessed that you were in Lucas County after seeing your comment at WP:AN about the NPR predictions of Wikipedia becoming too big, at which you remarked about WGTE-FM being your local public radio; I guessed Lucas County simply because its population is so much larger than that of any surrounding county.

Bethel Church Article again
editHello again. The Bethel Church article is being tweaked again. Back when Cirt was writing it, there was discussion about one of the pastors in Connecticut's business, Sam Wibberley Tire. Cirt had originally wrote that Sam owned a tire shop, and someone came along and changed it to tyre, in keeping with the UK spelling. After some discussion, Cirt ended up just writing that Sam owned a business named Sam Wibberley Tire, and left it at that. Since then, people had been coming in and adding in that it was a tyre business. Up until you put the semi-protect on, I had been taking the "tyre" back out. And now there is Qaysie who is putting "tyre" back in. I've been taking it back out, but jeez. It was all hashed out, back on the Discussion page, which is now in the archives. I don't know. Can we block Qaysie, or warn them, or something? o0pandora0o (talk) 02:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- Now there's Donald VX pulling the same shenanigans. He was doing this before you had put the semi-protect on. o0pandora0o (talk) 06:00, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

editHi, lots of vandalism at the mandy article and the election is coming up there is only going to be more partisan vandalism, would you extent the semi protection for another month or even two please as that will keep it stable. Off2riorob (talk) 01:03, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't particularly disapprove of the protection, but this article was not subject to vandalism - I think edit warring is a more appropriate term. Both sides appear to be acting in good faith to try and improve Wikipedia, they just have differing views on what "improvement" is. GreenReaper (talk) 01:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Legal
editWith all respect, I, and other OTRS agents (volunteer email response team members) which answer emails to that address have expressed that we emphatically do not want those types of emails, nor are we equipped to handle in the way that template encourages them. It is difficult to see how the consensus driven process can effectively determine what type of emails we can or want to handle. You might not define it as urgent, but the queues are made larger by emails that we really don't desire, for reasons specified on that talk page. I don't understand how this is hard? Warm regards, NonvocalScream (talk) 05:44, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Friend, consensus does not dictate what emails we are willing to handle. The proper way to contact OTRS is the contact us page. Do not tell blocked users if they feel legal action is warranted, to contact us, we don't want that. This is one of those areas you are going to have to use common sense, Best, NonvocalScream (talk) 18:01, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Hey Kralizec!. NonvocalScream asked me to take a look at this. I would have to agree with him in this case. I'm not sure if you've ever worked in the info-en OTRS queues, but one of the first things that is stressed to you is not to handle the legal issues. Danny said it well several years ago: "Finally, there are the legal phone calls. These come in two varieties. People I can speak with, understand their problem, and resolve it, and people that I cannot help. Of the latter kind, one good indicator is when people call and say "What is your fax number." I ask them why and they tell me that they are sending us a fax. I tell them I would like to know who they are before theysend us a fax, and they tell me that they do not want to say who they are. I then tell them that I cannot give them our fax number. That is when they identify themselves as a lawyer and they are suing us. As instructed by our own lawyers, I tell them that our fax number can be obtained from our website--we are not obligated to make it easy for people to sue us. The discussion begins." We try to throw all of the legal issues to formal processes so as to reduce the number of complaints we get. NW (Talk) 18:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Warning...
editI'm not going to insult you by templating your page. But I will say this Sir, you assumption of bad faith here is beyond the pale, and contrary to the principles of our project. Perhaps you should ask me on my talk page if and the context of my request to NW. So... you believe that I went to him and said something like "Go vote for me" "Go support me"... no, I wanted a sanity check. "Could you take a look at this please?" To ever think that an editor is not permitted to ask for a second opinion, or a sanity check outside the wiki, is looking at the world in rose colored glasses. Please retract your accusation, lacking evidence, and assume better of me. For all the work I do...
Consensus or not, we do not handle legal emails. That is not a consensus issue, that is a we really don't handles those, please stop encouraging users to send them issue. Common sense, I thought. I'm not railroading, I'm telling you, wrong queue, wrong type of email. I don't need consensus to tell you, that we don't do those emails. We just don't do those emails.
I never did disruptive canvassing, see my above on that matter. Warm, NonvocalScream (talk) 20:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering why you felt Lindsey Vonn needed semi protection on BLP grounds. I have the article on my watchlist and have reverted a bit of vandalism on there but I had a look at the history and saw only 5 or 6 acts of vandalism (and some IPs making constructive edits) over the last 4 days, only one of which could be considered potentially defamatory. I wonder if the semi protection is really necessary or am I missing something? Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Back in February, you had blocked Luixxa (talk · contribs) for vandalism of the Bethel Church, Mansfield Woodhouse article, as well as another user's talk page. Well, they're back, and have been messing with my talk page now. They were going by their IP #, 90.204.70.225 (talk · contribs), but decided to create an account to mock me, O0pandor0o (talk · contribs). I had deleted some content from my talk page that they had put there as Luixxa (talk · contribs), and they keep returning to put it back. I had some random help from Kingpin13 (talk · contribs), who undid their edit, but this is just getting silly. I issued a bit of a challenge, and they admitted that they were indeed Luixxa (talk · contribs). So yeah, I'm not sure where to go with this. Since you're the person who blocked them, I'm bringing it to you, but is there a certain place where I ought to be complaining at, officially? Please let me know.

Oz template.
editHello. Regarding your edit to {{User Australian states and territories visited}}, it seems like most of the "this user has visited provinces/states/territories" templates listed at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Travel do have the total number listed. Examples include:
<snip>
In fact, their precedent is what I based {{User Australian states and territories visited}} on when I created the template in 2007. — Kralizec! (talk) 15:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- OK. Fair enough. Change it to whatever you think best.
- However, given that, depending on definition, the total could be 8, 9, 10, 12 or 16, I'd personally suggest not putting any particular total in there.
- i.e. I used a bad arguement to justify my edit - I guess I just should have gone to bed an hour or two ago. (I guess it would be wise if I did so now.) Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:35, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Personally, I would prefer we go with something like "six states and two major mainland territories" ... similar to what is used in the first line of the States and territories of Australia article. That said, I do however rather like your elegant solution to the number issue. — Kralizec! (talk) 17:06, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- First, I must quickly acknowledge that the root of the idea was User: Oliver Nouther's - for me to claim sole credit for such an elegant solution would be dishonest.
- Anyway. I think it's very convenient that you like that solution, because I think that whatever number you choose for whatever reason, and no matter how eloquently you justify it, somebody will disagree with you.
- Using current business jargon, avoiding the issue looks like a good "risk mitigation strategy". Anyone who's interested will click on the box for more information.
- And it will avoid problems with people who have visited "11 of the 8" states and territories - after all, can you (more relevantly, do you really want to be in the position of having to) justify why, although they've visited 11 of them, you're only willing to provide a template that acknowledges 8 of them? To me, that sounds like a problem, and a likely-to-be never-ending-discussion that I, personally, would devote considerable effort to avoid being involved in!
- In short: Avoiding the issue seems, to me, to be an adequate solution, and seems very much like "the path of least resistance".
- But I have the impression that you had already come to that conclusion yourself, anyway.
- Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 12:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- I liked the anomoly that the original Userbox mentioned 8 States etc and the linked article mentioned many more. We could be specific and limit it to the 8 main states and territories (poor Cocos Island) or leave it open to interpretation. I favour the later. There could be a couple of variations for Users to chose from. Anyway, it is just a user box. --Oliver Nouther (talk) 11:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Shia Muslims in Pakistan
editHello, i understand that you are an admin and you primarily focus on demographic related article and stubs and only accept sources meeting WP:verifiability, but brother the source over here and this link says its 30%, and fulfills both the WP:NEWSBLOG & WP:verifiability requirement you need to understand my claim. According to "Gall, Timothy L. (ed). Worldmark Encyclopedia of Culture & Daily Life: Vol. 3 - Asia & Oceania. Cleveland, OH: Eastword Publications Development (1998); pg. 612-614", Pakistan's Shia Muslim population was more then 37 million which is actually a statistical figure of the past two decades. And according to the CIA factbook Pakistani Shia Muslims are more then 20% hence PewForum 10% -15% stats are no where near to the respective 20% and 30% figures. And Pewforum states "Readers should bear in mind that the figures given in this report for the Sunni and Shia populations are less precise than the figures for the overall Muslim population. Data on sectarian affiliation have been infrequently collected or, in many countries, not collected at all. Therefore, the Sunni and Shia numbers reported here are expressed as broad ranges and should be treated as approximate estimate", and since Pakistan never really had a census based on sectarian division Pewforum's report is not a Legitimate truth, rather a rough estimate. While Shia Muslims of Pakistan claim to be one third of Pakistan's Muslim Population. You should understand me claim here Talk page. Would please take my reasoning in consideration and kindly mention both facts, all have sources claiming it. While that claim of Shia in Pakistan to be one third of Pakistan, you still think thats a made up number? Please realize this, i am not lying or making stories. Regards!

concerning percentage of islam in egypt
editHello,
Concerning the article Islam by country in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_by_country
I believe the percent of Muslims in Egypt 96.9% are incorrect. Simply because there any many evidences that prove this percent is very exaggerated. 1 - At first in another article "Christianity In Egypt" the percent of Christians in Egypt is from 10% to 20% http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Egypt
If percent of Christians in Egypt is 10% at least, percent of Muslims can't be 96.9%. Please note there is no shared faith. The Religion in Egypt is written in Identification Card. Either Muslim, Christian Or Jewish. That are the allowed Religions there (Some kind of human rights infringes anyway)
2 - Going back to the article mentioned above "Christianity In Egypt". In the article as mentioned Christians are Coptic Orthodox,Coptic Catholic, Evanglecal,etc... Since Coptic Orthodox is the most in numbers lets count on it only. Coptic Orthodox are from 12,000,000 to 16,000,000 people at as mentioned. Other Christian Sects are about 500,000 People as mentioned in the same article. That mean number of Christians in Egypt are from 12,500,000 to 16,500,000. But lets count it on number of Coptic Orthodox only for simplicity.
If the number of Egyptians are 80 Millions (this is mentioned in the same article), the number of Coptic Orthodox Christians only will be from 15% to 20%. That will mean muslims are less than 85% for sure if not 80%.
3 - Similar percentage is mentioned also in another article "Religion In Egypt" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Egypt It is mentioned that number of Christians are from 15% to 20%
4 - Other articles with less percents but more than in wiki article "Islam_by_country" https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/eg.html It is estimated that number of Muslims are 90%.
5 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Egypt Estimates the numbers to be 90% muslims
6 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptic_Orthodox_Church_of_Alexandria Number Of Coptic Orthodox are estimated to be 11,000,000 in Egypt There are tones or articles that proves number of Muslims are much less than 94.6%.
7 - http://www.coptsunited.com/Details.php?I=47&A=398 this is article about the different in statistics and debate about it.
At last I'd like to conclude that the numbers of Muslims in Egypt mentioned in the article subjected to controversy are all but correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.238.221.142 (talk) 06:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Islam in Kazakhstan
editHi, I edited the 'Islam by country' page by changing the figures for Kazakhstan. According to [8], Muslim peoples inhabiting Kazakhstan constituted 68,5%: Kazakhs - 63,1% Tatars - 1,3% Uzbeks - 2,8% Uighur - 1,4%
Multiplying the ratio of Muslim peoples (0,68) by the population of Kazakhstan (16,005,000) equals to 1,096,000 Muslims. I'm going to amend the 'Islam by country' page. If you have objections, let me know. Thanks. P.S. Although the population of Muslims in Kazakhstan exceeded 11,000,000 people this year, I am not going to insist on that, as the census has not yet been translated into the English language.

I think you should remove "47%" and the link you provided, because the CIA cites the 1999 census. Also, their methodology is not clear. Now don't have anywhere near 30% Russian Orthodox. Much less - 20-25%%. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marryagent (talk • contribs) 12:49, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
If the table represents data collected by the Pew Reasearch for *2009*, then why are you citing data for *1999*? With such an approach you could cite the data for 1979, when Muslims comprised only 35% of population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marryagent (talk • contribs) 12:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
The data you cite is not even of 1999, but of 1989. "According to the All-Soviet census, there were 7,640,600 Muslims and 8,258,400 Christians" - translate from Russian to English via the Google translator [9].
"By 1999, the percentage of Muslims constituted 60,7% or 9,100,000 people" - translate from Russian to English [10]
If you still don't believe, then you should point to me where it says that the data are of 2009 or show me their methodology. Without methodology, even the CIA is not authoritative. I cannot understand how you can argue with me without even spending a day in Kazakhstan. The ethnic and religious face of Kazakhstan has dramatically changed for the last 10 years. Believe me.--Marryagent (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Looked at the Kazakhstani data in the 'Christianity by country' and it's clear to me that the Muslim numbers are deflated and the Christian numbers are inflated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marryagent (talk • contribs) 13:35, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I changed from 65 to 69 before receiving your message.--Marryagent (talk) 13:55, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
AFAIK, the percentage of Muslims has exceeded 70%, but I leave it up to you to pick 65% or 69%. Whatever. Change it back if you want. P.S. Not only does the CIA deliberately fabricates the US national security reports, but also uses outdated data. HAHAH!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marryagent (talk • contribs) 13:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

wrongful edits
editHi, here is a User talk:WKTU who i suspect may have a conflict of interest. Several editors have tried get through to him but he won't listen. Your input would be appreciated.
I am quite positive User:WKTU is a Sunni who is overrepresenting unfairly and unproportionately in favor of boosting figures for his own denomination, for example ;
- - He has boosted Sunni proportions on the Sunni Islam article here with obviously bizarre figures where he bundled Shia, Ibadi, and Ahmadiyya altogether make up 10% and Sunni are 90%. (without such reference)
- - Here is another instance where he boosts figures for Sunnis while simultaneously DELETING reliable sources giving lower stats.
- - User:WKTU this time undermines a wellsourced Shia source here in order to undermine non-Sunni sects.
- - He doesn't even leave the map comments alone here and again mentions the superiority of Sunnis with the term 'overwhelming'
- - In this edit User:WKTU is showing obvious signs of emotion (with an exclamation mark), whilst falsely proclaiming there are only 2 denominations within Islam in the edit summary.
- - Despite the fact this user makes controversial edits, in the edit summary he says here that there is no need for consensus (in his case), even though here he's asking me to do exactly that 1 day later.
You can see his replies to my accusations here
Iwanttoeditthissh (talk) 07:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- All the top sources say Sunnis are approximately in the 90% and below region [11][12][13] so obviously when you meet a Muslim he/she will 90% chances be a Sunni and what's the big deal with that? That's like calling a white man a Christian. This shouldn't be viewed as me boosting one sect over the other. I've researched this subject and I haven't found a single source which would contradict any of the sources (Pew Research Center, Encyclopedia Britannica, University of Oxford or "The Oxford Dictionary of Islam", and others). So now I ask you to please stop your false accusation, and all those edits I've made on Islam's page were done to help and improve Wikipedia.--WKTU (talk) 02:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

editThanks for asking me to work on Grand Lake St. Marys State Park. I agree and it does need some work. I can't promise that I will fix it, but I am thinking about it. Dincher (talk) 20:50, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

They're at it again!
editThought it was over with, but of course, it's not. We have a new person, (or possibly an old sock with a new IP) 79.76.19.209 (talk · contribs) doing pointless edits to the Bethel Church, Mansfield Woodhouse article again. I undid this most recent one, but seeing how it usually turns into an edit war, I'd rather bring it to you. See if you want to lock it down again temporarily or whatever. Thanks! o0pandora0o (talk) 20:15, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- And yet another person, Rorr Styy (talk · contribs) doing the same edits to the article. The same "Tyre" thing that Luixxa (talk · contribs) and Qaysie (talk · contribs) and Donald VX (talk · contribs) were doing, that was brought up here and here... o0pandora0o (talk) 06:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks again!! :) o0pandora0o (talk) 18:49, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Got another stalker or sockpuppet or something.. Probably Luixxa.
editBack on my Talk page, I think Luixxa (talk · contribs) is back, with another new IP address, 94.11.228.192 (talk · contribs). They are now actually advising me to "set a checkuser on" them. They also say they have access to plenty of IPs.. Soon after they posted on my page, Rodhullandemu (talk · contribs) came along and undid their edit. I don't know why they would have done that. They seem to have been here a while, possibly not having anything to do with this. Anyway. Thought you'd want a heads-up on that. o0pandora0o (talk) 17:21, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Oh boy, there are more socks, now they are attacking my userpage. Deleting my text and replacing it with just one word, "Arse". O0pandura0o (talk · contribs), which is an obvious mock of my own username, and 94.10.163.145 (talk · contribs), who has been blocked by Tide rolls (talk · contribs) for 48 hours. Also, 94.11.228.192 (talk · contribs) is only being blocked for a week, starting July 4th, so I'm guessing they'll be back on July 11th to start trouble again. I'm sorry to keep bothering you with this, if there's somewhere else I should go, or someone else I should be reporting to, please let me know, ok? Thank you for all your help!!! o0pandora0o (talk) 23:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
- Will do. Will only report attacks on the Bethel page now. Thanks for the protection on my talk page. o0pandora0o (talk) 18:24, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Luixxa is another version of Tile join, who is known for obsessively editing via socks and IPs. The named socks are using typical Tile join handles, and the editing over a single word is very comparable to the long-running attack on Witton Albion F.C., where he has tried to install a preferred datum for the stadium capacity since the spring of 2007. Also, this latest IP to attack 00pandora0o's page was caught by an edit filter trying to make this change to Witton Albion as well (which is how I stumbled onto this). Filter 47 does a pretty good job on most of Tile join's other known targets, so you might consider having Bethel Church added. J. Spencer (talk) 01:19, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- OMG, I thought this person was doing this on purpose to drive me crazy! So glad that's not necessarily the case! o0pandora0o (talk) 03:54, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
- Yes it is Tilejoin, on 94.10.200.40 (talk · contribs) as well as vandalising O0pandora0o's user page, he also re-inserted copyvio onto Winshill - one of his previous activities. CT Cooper · talk 09:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Putnam County Courthouse
editThanks for the compliment! Since the time I asked you to try to take pictures in northwestern Ohio, I've been able to get a driver's license, so I ended up getting pictures for nearly all of the National Register sites in the western two tiers of counties north of the Dayton metro area. My most productive day yielded this old post office, but I'd gotten Putnam County on a different day — I wanted a good picture of St. John's in Glandorf, so I didn't want to go to Ottawa on a day that wasn't nice and sunny.

Edit - War Need Help to reach a conclusion without any harm to any user
editHello,
It seems there is edit war gig between several users including me, we have notified each other and have stuck in tagging, re-tagging articles and authenticity of sources. I request you to mediate and help reach a consensus on article like Shia Islam in Pakistan. So that there is no hamper to any editors. - Humaliwalay (talk) 08:20, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Block Request
editPlease Block User Codf1977 for his repeated disruption of articles, geting into discussions and leaving it without reaching a consensus after multiple Warnings, this user even removes warnings from his talk page and is engaged in business of threatening and accusing, repeated request and Warnings have been deleted by this user like this [14] and this [15] from his talk page. All edits of this user are more or less based on no logical reasoning and without notifying the reason on talk page. this user is engaged in all these behavior leave no signs of discussion on talk page and then threatens to block me rather than discussing politely. Please review my request and take an action. - Humaliwalay (talk) 09:48, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
- This is being discussed at WP:ANI. Dougweller (talk) 19:20, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Review Request
editAllahLovesYou has generalised me based on sectarianism which I never revealed about who I am and has multiple times used provocative language like blocking and vandalism, i request you as an administrator to review the actions of this user and history of edited articles y this user. AllahLovesYou tends to vandalize articles by deleting sources rather than asking. AllahLovesYou was warned by me and then started discussion but uses inappropriate language based upon sectarianism. User made some religious based comments. - Humaliwalay (talk) 07:27, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Talaris Institute
editI think it might be worth reconsidering the spedy deletion of Talaris Institute. The author had requested hang-on, was adding references, and had noted on the talk page that they were still working the article. Some of the references show promise. ALthough I don't think notability has yet been shown, I think we should give the article some time. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 02:41, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- (moved from Talk:Tcncv)
Thanks for the message on my talk page regarding Talaris Institute. I went ahead and reversed my speedy deletion. Would you like to decline the speedy? Presumably the nominator will send it to AfD, but that will still give the author time to try and bring it up to WP:CORP. Regards, — Kralizec! (talk) 02:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- Sure. I was borderline on whether to decline, but I think a run through the AfD review process is justified. I also saw that the editor was blocked for deleting the notices, but has requested unblock. Could you take a look? The user appears to be a good faith editor who is encountering a few bumps in the learning curve. Thanks. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 03:18, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

protection for Jerusalem Cricket
editHi. You had temporarily protected this article; the IP-hopping vandal is not going away, and protection from anonymous edits would be helpful. Given that this vandal has been posting for nearly a week, we can assume their attention span is at least that long, and protection should be no less than one week. Thanks, Dyanega (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I had protected it longer than a day ... but I edit conflicted with another admin who set it for 24 hours. As such, I deferred to his or her judgement. However since the protection has expired and the IP vandal is back, I protected it for longer this time.
- Semi-protected for a period of one week, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. — Kralizec! (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
- The same exact vandal is back, making the exact same edit again. This person is not going to go away, evidently. Maybe a month protection this time? Dyanega (talk) 17:27, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Semiprotection of astronaut articles
editHi. I have a number of the Apollo astronaut articles on my watchlist, and I noticed you semi-protecting (or renewing semi-protection on) what looks like just about all of them. I look a quick look at the history of a few and perhaps I am missing something, but I'm not certain I see that such long-term protection on so many articles is necessary. I don't usually object to semi'ing articles with a history of vandalism, edit-warring, etc., but frankly this looks a little light as such things go—however, the odds are I am probably missing something. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this (feel free to respond via e-mail rather than here if this is a WP:BEANS situation or the like).

I see that in July, you cascade protected {{Code}}. While I'm not disputing your judgement that it's a Highly visible template, I don't think that cascade protection is necessary here. I think that the protection should be reduced to a normal full protection, allowing transcluded pages (such as the documentation) to be edited by non-admins. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Semi Protection of Bangalore
editHey, this is regarding your recent semi protection of Bangalore. I have been watching the page from a long time, and I do not think there is a lot of vandalism from IPs as such. Even in the case of vandalism, some or the other editor usually reverts it quite fast. In any case, I do not think the page merits an indefinite semi protection, because it could as well prevent legitimate editors from making edits. Have a good day!
