Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Parwar (Jain), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paravāra.

Hello again, my apologies for stepping away I am working and toggling between tabs. The "reliable source" that quoted and misspelled his name as Antwan is a bit annoying because they're a "reliable source" and his name has been spelled wrong for years here on wiki. That said, where would I send a screen shot of DeRay's Drivers License to start. He thinks that's odd and wants to make sure that's the way to do it. He thinks their may be a better way than sending a screen shot of his DL. And then as far as his movies and tv shows/series are concerned, that's public record on tv and on his/my imdb page. DeRay asked me to update his wikipedia page with his current movies his one hour showtime special that aired on national tv and is credited on imdb as well as on sale at Target Best Buy Netflix iTunes these are all public and verifiable so he's asking why the information I revised was archived when I (tried maybe failed) to put them in correct html form as well as site imdb pages or wiki as the source? Thank you again for helping us here. Have a lovely day! SylviaHillman (talk) 15:36, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Sylvia V. HillmanReply
Hello again! I am learning how to use the cite resources code thanks to you. I will keep coming back with cite resource links. He is very happy to see his name spelled correctly thanks to your help. I added a few more cite resources for his current television project he's working on with John Singleton, Snowfall on FX as well as his two seasons on Empire. Spoiler alert - he didn't make it out of prison in one piece so that he could be in season 3 LOL. Ok have a lovely evening oh yeah and I put a cite source link to his DeRay Davis: Power Play one hour special that aired on Showtime Cable Network. I served as credited Executive Producer and writer on that show so hopefully that's ok. Thanks again and have a lovely evening! SylviaHillman (talk) 04:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Sylvia V. HillmanReply

Good morning, no worries about a late reply, I have several different gigs going on so I could be replying late as well. So no worries what so ever. So when I create a section call disclosure of conflicts of interest, do I write something like, I've worked with him as a part of his management and production team since 2001 and there in lies the conflict of interest with regard to the information provided being factual or bias? Not sure what just happened but I think I just deleted an entire paragraph of conversation of being transparent but I found the template and I entered it at the top of the article on DeRay Davis, basically the deleted paragraph stated that I am not on payroll with DeRay Davis in transparency I was in the past but as of 2012 no longer I am just a credible source of information who doesn't mind gathering cited resources and what not on his or the general public interests if any since people come to this page to gather information on him and use this wiki page as a source of reliable information I just wanted to help the page be that reliable source of facts. thank you for all your help and training of sorts. Have a lovely November :-) SylviaHillman (talk) 11:36, 2 November 2015 (UTC)Sylvia V. HillmanReply
Well, I can not tell you what to do. But my suggestion would be to leave that task for a while and let other users take care of it if they wish. Do some edits on articles etc that you like and find interesting. Just a suggestion. Retiring seems drastic :)--BabbaQ (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Hey Rubbish computer - I was going to drop you a message when you retired, but thought better of it, but if you ever want to ask any questions or get clarification, there are lots of editors (myself included!) who would be more than happy to help.

So, some of them will be deleted, others will not. I saw you got some harsh criticism, and there were some nasty remarks--that's not pleasant, of course. But even the most negative interpretation of those creations still leaves you a net-positive editor whose work is (this seems clear) appreciated by plenty of people. I hope you get to cheer up, and maybe return when you feel better about things. I know that's not an easy thing to hear now, and I don't have much more to offer--sorry.

Thanks for the wiki-love thing on my talkpage. I think your ANI thread is typical behaviour these days to be honest. A new editor acts in good faith (creating redirects) only to get tag teamed by a load of self-backslapping admins who wouldn't know content if it bit them on the arse. Maybe some redirects are little or no value, but until someone points this out (in a civil way), then how are you to know? Carry on editing and ignore these people who are responsible for the drop in editor retention. LugnutsDick Laurent is dead10:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Don't retired please.. (as I'm also frequently want to retired before like a people who want to suicide, but don't know why I'm still here :P) But I can't prevent if you want to retired.

Hi. Sorry, but I've declined your speedy request. G6 is basically for housekeeping - removal of leftovers and so on. Lack of notability isn't a criterion at speedy. It's mere significance there. I must admit that the article as it stands doesn't show any, but A7 doesn't apply to plays (or books). The book that this play seems to be based on is published by a reputable publisher, and appears to have reviews in the right places, and I'm slightly surprised that it and its author don't have articles. I've not looked deeply - do you feel like a challenge? Peridon (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
PS redirects are only crap when totally unnecessary - like having one for Joe-Fred Bloggs (goldfish eating championship winner 1876) when there is an article about him at Joe-Fred Bloggs. I've created some on the surface unlikely ones - but I could see a point to them (and no-one seems to have either noticed or objected - so far...). Don't call it 'fail' - call it 'learning the hard way'. Wasn't it Edison that said something about having found 10,000 ways of not doing something? Move on, not out. You could start by investigating Kent Haruf... (No, while I am a writer, that's not me. Not my sort of book.) Peridon (talk) 17:43, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
Sorry if I'm being confusing - I was suggesting a challenge based on the speedy I declined. However, now I've got the spelling right, there is an article on the novelist whose book was the basis for the play. The bit about redirects was based on your comment above. Feel free to bin this if you think it rubbish. On the one hand, I was explaining why I declined, on the other, I was adding a voice to the 'don't retire, you'll regret it' chorus.

Just a small note, since I have it watched (only for its talk, but still). I'm doubtful that an entry of "no limit" at WP:FRS would work at all; it might be safer just to put a large number like 100 in. —烏Γ(kaw) │ 09:14, 05 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your work creating beetle articles. Please include a taxobox. I've added taxoboxes to Afroeurydemus akaensis and Afroeurydemus armatus. You can copy paste taxoboxes from a higher taxon or related species and change details as appropriate. There are a couple things to keep in mind. Minor ranks above genus (subfamily, suborder, etc.) aren't given in species taxoboxes. Also, the presence or absence of parentheses in a binomial authority is important; make sure you employ parentheses exactly as given in your source. Plantdrew (talk) 21:27, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
--Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 12:35, 21 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. Just realized I should maybe clarify the bit about minor ranks (hopefully I won't things more confusing). If you're copy pasting a taxobox from a family article to use in a species article (which may be the best option for the beetles you're working on now as most lack genus articles), ranks between family and order (e.g. suborder) don't need to be included. If you're copy pasting a taxobox from a genus article to use in a species article, ranks between family and genus (e.g. subfamily, tribe) don't need to be included. The basic idea is that the taxobox would get very cluttered if every minor rank in the taxonomic hierarchy is included, so usually only the minor ranks between the level of a particular article and the next higher major rank are given. Genus articles (but not species article) should show subfamily and tribe (if that information is available). Species article should show subgenus if that information is available somewhere.

@Plantdrew: It's very awkward to add them on my tablet, as I don't know how to open new tabs to check what they should say, but I'll do them as soon as I can get on my computer.

An editor says that something's wrong with this page. That editor can't be troubled to fix it, but can sleep easy knowing that they stuck on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly why it's there.

I'm just checking in making sure you don't need a new HDD [citation needed]. Lol. In all reality I need a second opinion when should I not accept a pending edit on a semi-protected article l ike i know the obvious and I can't find any policys or anything on wikipedia with my answer. Thanks, Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 17:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC) with love <3, Zppix Reply
@Zppix: Oh, I see what you mean now. I'd say to revert unsourced stuff, which can include adding something unsourced next to an already referenced sentence: this means having to check the source and see if it's there. It can also mean an unsourced nickname for a person or thing, or an unsourced inclusion of someone's nationality, ethnicity or religion, which can occur either through stating it in the article or adding a category: if a category is added, you'll need to skim over the article and see if this is included there. Sometimes users do edits that are completely harmless, but don't help, so these shouldn't be accepted either: for example, unexplainedly shifting the order of something where this makes no difference, or adding spaces that make no difference when the page is viewed. Identifying somebody's children is seen as an invasion of privacy to some extent, as can adding an address or contact information (see WP:Privacy.) Per WP:DOB, the day and month of a person's birth should sometimes be left out, particularly if they are borderline notable anyway. Other well-intentioned, non-constructive edits can include removing dead links-these should either be tagged, or fixed-and adding {{citation needed} to statements in the lead that are verified later in the article. Crucially, if an edit is good faith, explain the reversion in your edit summary. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any more questions. --Rubbish computer (Merry Christmas!: ...And a Happy New Year!) 22:30, 12 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your nomination for speedy deletion is inappropriate, since people may search Yuri Drozdov here, Yuri Drozdov can refer to either a former KGB officer or a Russian soccer player, and top Google search results often refer to the former rather than the latter, the disambiguation page is quite useful. So please restore the disambiguation page I created.--RekishiEJ (talk) 03:05, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

What a nice message you left on my talk page. I'm here for a short visit and have discovered that you, an exception, have a great sense of humor. I hope you don't mind me becoming one of your talk page stalkers. The encyclopedia is in dire need of some levity. If you want a good laugh visit this page: WP:Unusual articles. I created a flag of a micronation with a caricature of Jimbo Wales on it. No one has caught on to it yet. I also wrote the articles: Empathy in chickens and Two-letter English words. I consider them masterpieces and can't figure out why they still are not featured articles. The new president of your fan club,
@Bfpage: They're saying admins and editors with more authority, e.g. checkusers will have to have passwords of at least 8 characters, as opposed to the current limit of 6 characters. This means they can still have "Wikipedia" as their password. And on the subject of randomness, how would you respond to the section above this?

Hello Rubbish computer, I recently cleaned up a couple instances of wording that was so awkward as to render the sentences completely meaningless (in the articles on The Adventures of Tintin and T-14 Armata). I corrected the sections according to what I understood the author to mean, but I'm not at all sure I got them right. (If you want to find these edits, I made sure to clearly delineate them in my edit summaries, which you can, of course, see on my list of contributions.) How should I draw knowledgeable people's attention to my edits to ensure that the statements they present are truthful? Thanks! Model464 (talk) 04:07, 9 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Model464: I wouldn't say your edits changed the meaning of the wording. I'd avoid doing an edit if you think it may change the meaning without checking the available sources, although I would say these edits are fine. If a sentence is poorly written but you can't tell its original meaning you can add a {{dubious}} tag to the end of it.

In reading the introductory section, it occurred to me that it did not mention marriage or marital fidelity at all. In fact, the only reference to that in the article is the "Beliefs" section. Both their name and three of their core beliefs (taking "promise" to refer to marriage at least in some capacity) refer to this purpose, which seems evidence enough to me to deem it part of their purpose, thus my edit. Perhaps adjusting the wording of my edit such as adding an adjectival clarification to "marriage" would provide more NPOV, but I think the current intro paragraph is lacking a description of what seems to me to be central to their purpose. The current description of their purpose sounds as if all they do is evangelism/proselytizing, but I think that's a little misleading. 128.192.34.140 (talk) 21:32, 27 January 2016 (UTC)Reply
