Peer Review Request
Hello! I recently submitted "The Unnatural" for Peer-Review, but no one has looked at it. It just needs a peer-review/copyedit before I'd like to take it to FAN. Is there any chance you'd be willing to look over it and give me some feedback? Thanks!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:56, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
Closing discussion
Don't re-open a discussion just because of the possibility there might be more discussion- only if you or someone else actually want to discuss some aspect of the posting should it be re-opened. 331dot (talk) 20:28, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

I added a very recent reference showing that the NCSL are the current organizers and supporters for the running demonstrations. Thank you, (Mazidan (talk) 17:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC))
Hi Lihaas, thanks for the update, however, I miss some context there: ... how comes that it should be me who is to defend the republican constitution?, said Schwarzenberg, and he said it because he's a member of the old Bohemian nobility (it was kind of a joke I guess, very typical of him). Also his remark about Nečas is a bit pointless and misleading unless you reveal who was the head of his office and the context of this story. However, it has little to do with the election, at least in my opinion. Thank you for your interest in the political situation in the Czech Rep. Best regards. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 09:59, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your continuous work on the August 2013 Egyptian raids. Although I don't mind filling out and archiving the references that you have put up, I cannot keep up with your constant updating. If you could try to do your own referencing, that would help a lot.

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Philipp Rösler, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Scjessey (talk) 14:32, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Reverts
Hi, regarding:
- This revert [1] which source state that those were detainees from the 14th?
- This revert [2] The article is about the raids it should start with explanation what are the raids, additional info about this being an escalation and or what it followed should come after.
- reverting this entry[3] without explanation. Please explain your reason for it.
--PLNR (talk) 00:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Looks like you decided to ignore my attempt to discuss the change and continued edit, so to add to the above.
- I have taken the time and looked into your sources again I couldn't find anything to suggest that those were detainees from the 14th raids, like you suggested. Thus you are singling out one of many events.(without providing/referring to a source)[4]
- According to wiki policy the article first sentence should start with the topic.(per wiki guideline)[5](Furthermore the coup is already linked inside)
- I couldn't find anything in the source to refer to the 14th raids, it all about their sini operation thus its irrelevant. Still you reverted it without explanation. [6]
Also you continue to revert [7] [8] asking to discuss, while ignoring/initiating actual discussion, I find this pushy and non constructive. --PLNR (talk) 16:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:46, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page. |
My account says that I am blocked from editing but there is NO notice on my talk pae and the blocks notice pertains to December 2012. Apparently I have "Editing from 31.216.232.0/21 has been blocked (disabled) by DeltaQuad for the following reason(s): Abusing multiple accounts: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/SimonKnowsAll " Yes Ive just moved to a new location but Im the same account as my login.

- You have probably been caught in an IP block or an IP range block. If this is the case, we apologise for the inconvenience. Please seeWikipedia:Appealing a block and follow the instructions there. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:06, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Due to the nature of the block applied we need additional information before we can decide whether to unblock you. It is very likely that you are not personally blocked. If you are prevented from editing, it may be because you are autoblocked or blocked because of your IP address. Without further details there is nothing further we can do to review or lift your block. Please follow these instructions:
- If you have a Wikipedia account, please ensure that you are logged in.
Your account name will be visible in the top right of this page if you are.
If it isn't, try bypassing your web browser's cache. - Try to edit the Sandbox.
- If you are still blocked, copy the {{unblock-auto|...}} code generated for you under the "IP blocked?" section. This is usually hidden within the "What do I do now?" section. If so, just click the "[show]" link to the right hand side to show this text.
- Paste the code at the bottom of your user talk page and click save.
If you are not blocked from editing the sandbox then the autoblock on your IP address has already expired and you can resume editing. Singularity42 (talk) 16:56, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why all this is necessary; he's identified the block that is impacting him. It's a range block: here. If this was an old, low impact range block, there might be options, but it's a range block on a web host that was used by a very, very prolific spammer who is still very active. I notice that you're still editing articles even after posting this request - do you still need this issue looked at? Kuru (talk) 19:14, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

- IP block exemption seems to be only solution here, and I'm might be a bit too new as an administrator to comfortably grant that at this time. I'm pinging the admin who did the range block, DeltaQuad, to get their input. Singularity42 (talk) 14:25, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

IP block exempt
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.
Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.
Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.
Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).
I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Spartaz Humbug! 20:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC) . Let me know when you move so I can remove the flag. Spartaz Humbug! 20:11, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry for the delay in responding. I've ran a second check and removed the block affecting you, and removed the IPBE. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 06:27, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

ITN nominations
I mean no disrespect but as a regular poster on ITN like yourself I will formally ask you to please do what the vast majority of nominators do and please include news sources with your nominations. This is asked for on the ITNC page under "How to nominate an item" ("Make sure that you include a reference from a verifiable, reliable source. ") That's why a "sources" line is included in the template.
I realize that you update articles(which I do read) using news sources- but those are not necessarily the only sources needed to establish that a news story is widely covered enough. Most nominations that I see usually include at least two or three. It is not up to users to seek out information to support your nominations, it is up to you to submit all necessary information to back up what you are asking. 331dot (talk) 21:10, 21 September 2013 (UTC)
Westgate
The correct name appears to be the Westgate Shopping Mall as per Westgate's own webpage, among numerous other reflinks. Quis separabit? 01:00, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know if it required to open a discussion to improve an abysmally incomplete article name to one which is superior (i.e. including year of incident, city and/or country of incident as Westgate is prcatically a universal name in English speaking countries, etc). You appear to be quite active on Wikipedia; maybe you should retire the "SEMI-RETIRED" status from your own page. Yours, Quis separabit? 01:05, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
- At Westgate' own webpage it refers to itself as WestgatE, then underneath it states: "Premier Shopping Mall". I get that that could just be advertising but here, the centre refers to itself as "Westgate Shopping Mall". Yours, Quis separabit? 01:37, 22 September 2013 (UTC)

I didn't realize that my last edit was considered "reformatting". I'm sorry you see it that way. I was just trying, in a humorous way with the section title "Temper, temper" to associate myself with Article editor's comments regarding your unacceptable edit summaries, and reminding you about the practising the same AGF and civility which you request for yourself on your talk page.

Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Vandalism?
I am sorry I was editting wikipedia 10 years ago already when it was small and few people had heard of it. Least you. I do not like being called a vandal as I have always done my edits according to be bold and assume good faith. POV I can life with :p Waerth (talk) 14:44, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
Getting a little hot at Westgate shopping mall shooting
Hello, I noticed that you were starting to get a little hot under the collar re the Westgate shopping mall shooting. Your typing was sometimes a bit hurried it looks like (due to simple spelling errors and such); and your edits were getting a tad hasty, sometimes rving edits that seem to be accurate. Also, your edit summaries were getting a tad testy at times ;)
Good on you for taking a short wikibreak. :)
--Kim Bruning (talk) 17:53, 22 September 2013 (UTC) This post edited after I noticed you were already on break. In that case it's all good! Oh, now I see that it's you who appears to be repeatedly making the reinsertion of rhetoric into Westgate shopping mall shooting. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. There has been ample discussion here and here that such blind rhetoric is unencyclopaedic and should not be included, and you seem to be the only one to disagree, to the extent you posted the {{disputed}} tag again. I don't see how your repeated reinsertion is helpful to readers to include powerful yet empty statements of condemnation when noting the existence of the condemnation is sufficient.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 19:06, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
- Blah blah, it's all good. Just slow down a bit, and then carry on. You're a good contributor. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:14, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
