Disambiguation link notification for September 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trinidad and Tobago general election, 2015, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages San Fernando, Naparima and Oropouche. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

T&T

Dear R45,
I'm writing articles on Trinidad in the German Wikipedia. A lot of pictures are missing. Are you going to T&T over the course of the next months and could fill a few holes? I myself am going in February and hope to be able to visit the southeast and northeast especially. Also, do you happen to know if there's some kind of operator for aerostats?
Thanks a lot and kind regards, Grueslayer   Let's talk. 05:28, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I'll be there in December - let me know what pictures you need and I'll see if I can help. What sort of aerostats are you looking for? --  R45  talk! 13:12, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Dear R45,
so far I just queried a bot that throws out these (German) articles lacking pictures: Winifred Atwell · A. N. R. Robinson International Airport · Ato Boldon Stadium · Cerro del Aripo · Chaguanas · Dwight Yorke Stadium · Fort San Andres · Larry Gomes Stadium · Manny Ramjohn Stadium · Siparia · Tamana (mountain). I'll be preparing myself a larger list later. I have done a few shitty pictures from ground level last year (to be found here but there's so much missing... and that's where an aerostat might help. In Germany Wikimedia occasionally pays for aerostat flights in larger cities which WP photographers use to shoot aerial photos of living quarters, touristic attractions, important buildings, landmarks etc. If such an aerostat service existed in T&T it could definately help illustrating WP. One of my T&T friends told me there's a company renting out unmanned aerial vehicles for music video shoots - I'll follow that trace as well.
Kind regards from autumny Hamburg, Grueslayer   Let's talk. 19:49, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

Nicki Minaj is Trinidadian and not American

Nicki Minaj was born in Trinidad and therefore is a Trinidadian, There is no appropriate or reliable documents that states she became and American citizen, She also said in an interview with VOGUE "Am not American, I'm Trini and am proud that am an island girl" — Preceding unsigned comment added by PositiveEM (talkcontribs) 18:01, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

  • Hi there - from what I understand it's an issue of contention that has been discussed on the artiste's page - see here - the reason I reverted the edits were due to the person mass editing dozen of pages about the issue when consensus didn't appear to be there (and other vandalism outside of this area). I honestly have no interest in debating whether she should be listed as American, Trinidadian, or Trinidadian-Born American, but I'd suggest engaging other editors on the Nikki Minaj page to come to a amicable solution. --  R45  talk! 18:11, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Qed237

Can you help back me up against this guy? He is an obvious troll and people like him desperately need to be purged from this site. Eightball (talk) 23:53, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

What did I do wrong this time? First I reverted a editor that never updates the timestamp despite the fact that he has even been blocked for it, and I had no time to look through all articles and players to find a correct timestamp. After that you reverted me WITHOUT updating timestamp yourself just for the sake of reverting me, so if say that I should update timestamp, why wont you? And messages and threats like this (harassment) is not okay and should have you blocked. I am not a troll and I do a lot of good edits and you know it. Dont be mad you because I reverted you. Qed237 (talk) 11:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
I undid the above message because he does the same thing to me constantly. I tried bringing up his behavior to WikiProject Football before going to the admins but he reverted every addition I made to their project talk page. There is no way to win here. Why would anyone want to contribute to Wikipedia when people like him are SUPPORTED by the admins? Eightball (talk) 13:27, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
I only undid some of your messages because of your lack of communication skills and constant personal attacks like the diff above. Qed237 (talk) 13:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Please stop following me around and attacking me. Eightball (talk) 14:04, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
@Eightball: @Qed237: Guys, can you keep this to your ANI or open a mediation/content dispute request please - thanks. --  R45  talk! 14:08, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
@Eightball: I could if you stop shopping for help everywhere, it is against wikipedia guidelines. Qed237 (talk) 14:09, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

  The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Thanks for the tip about the Trinidad and Tobago page. I currently live there and like yourself, I wish to improve the wikipedia articles about my country. I didn't even realize their was a Politics page.

Cheers. Staffon23 (talk) 10:46, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
