A doubt

Yours Faithfully! Sorry to take thy time, But I have a little difficulty assimilating things here. Whatsoever it's, I want to ask a question: Do thou know if it is possible to create an article from translation?

Undid edit for Seungyoon from WINNER

"Undid revision 979293932 by 2600:1700:BAD0:23C0:68F9:9256:3456:6265 (talk) Unconstructive" - 4thfile4thrank

What's your definition of "unconstructive"? 2600:1700:BAD0:23C0:68F9:9256:3456:6265 (talk) 03:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Explain why the other members' pages (Jinwoo, Seunghoon, and Mino) also said that they are mononymously known by their stage/real names. I don't get how a non-vandal edit could be considered "nonconstructive" in your eyes. 2600:1700:BAD0:23C0:68F9:9256:3456:6265 (talk) 07:28, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

I thought I didn't revert it, but I accidentally did. Sorry for the trouble! 4thfile4thrank (talk) 15:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

It's okay. Sorry if I sounded aggressive (and yes, this is the same person). 2600:1700:BAD0:23C0:D9:4855:7EBC:BA5E (talk) 19:02, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Good day, I noticed you reverted my comment on the collegiate secret societies page due to unconstructive contributions. Stamma is Emory University's newest secret society and I would appreciate it if you allowed the comment to remain. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page.

Is it really is, and there is a source for it, then put it. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

My guess is the reason for his ban is confidential if it involves private/personal info. The banner on his userpage states "Please address any questions to ca@wikimedia.org.", so there's that. Sro23 (talk) 22:06, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi 4thfile4thrank. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 01:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

ThatsMee

Hello, please be more specific than "change did not appears constructive" on a page obviously lacking of any of Wikipedia rules.The page has very few source, contains opinions, not fact, and many factually wrong facts. In a time where people try to use free speech tools for their own objective, we should carefully track this.

Maybe you were right, but someone else uses Huggle to revert an edit, and then you revert it back without an edit summary. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 13:16, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

Baseless Accusation

What do you mean that there is no source for the things I wrote? I wrote in accordance with the source from TRAC (TERRORISM RESEARCH & ANALYSIS CONSORTIUM) about Islamic Defender Front]. According to the page, Islamic defender front is terrorist organization. And I'm being neutral, you're the one who is not being neutral AT ALL. Or do you want to challenge my truth? Bringlights (talk) 18:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
@Bringlights: Cite it using in-line citations. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Contentious_labels .
@4thfile4thrank: And you don't have problem with someone using word "Great". So much for being neutral Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch#Puffery .
@Bringlights: I did not say that the word "Great" was appropriate. All I said (or meant to say) was not to add the label "terrorist". That is a striking label, so I reverted it. Just remove that word. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 18:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
@4thfile4thrank: Honestly I'm still new in this, why don't you give me example on how to use this citation feature with your favorite word "Great". Deal? Bringlights (talk) 18:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
@Bringlights: I will do it, but please do not make frivolous vandalism reports at AIV. I will be removing the reports. They are intended for obvious vandalism and spam only and making reports of a content dispute clogs up the administrators work there. Thank you! 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 19:02, 14 November 2020 (UTC) I also recommend not editing controversial areas of Wikipedia before getting used to the policies.

Texas election law / voting right litigation in 2020

Hello: I wish you had given me a chance to finish what I was doing before deleting my contribution.

All the material I added is eminently verifiable and the opinions themselves can be found on Google Scholar and on court websites (and for attorneys, WestLaw, of course).

Here are the Texas state law cases the involve voting rights and resulted in an opinion:

Key Voting Rights Decisions of the SCOTX • In In Re State of Texas the Texas Supreme Court sided with the Attorney General in holding that lack of immunity to COVID-19 did not constitute a valid ground to request a mail ballot under the absentee voting provision of the Texas Election Code. In re State, No. 20-0394, 602 S.W.3d 549 (Tex. May 27, 2020). • In State of Texas v. Hollins the Texas Supreme Court stopped the Harris County Clerk from sending vote-by-mail applications to all registered voters in the County in an “ultra vires” action brought by the Attorney General. State v. Hollins, No. 20-0729, 2020 WL 5919729 (Tex. Oct. 7, 2020). • In Abbott v. Anti-Defamation League et al the Texas Supreme Court sided with the Governor and overturned a trial court injunction against the Governor’s reduction of drop-off locations for mail ballots to one per county regardless of the county’s size. Abbott v. Anti-Defamation League Austin, Sw., & Texoma Regions, No. 20-0846, 2020 WL 6295076 (Tex. Oct. 27, 2020)(per curiam).

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Wikipedia:Rollback does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision diffs
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Hello! I received your message and I would like to know which source you are referring to? You said that one of my sources was unreliable, and I would like to know which one so that I may go back and double check. I have only used sources provided from the resources that were recommended by my professor, so I hope that it isn't unreliable.

Please stop

Please stop tagging socks in general, but more specifically, long ago blocked socks edits like this are unhelpful. They were blocked six years ago. They are an LTA and do not need recognition. If a CU wanted to tag them, they would've instructed a clerk to do so, or done it themselves.

Well that is very impressive, but you seem to be looking for something to do. For now, you might want to stick to improving articles rather than reverting the removal of negative BLP or tagging long blocked socks. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:05, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

@Deepfriedokra: I agree that there is no reason to tag socks that no one will ever see. How to know if stuff is being removed for a good reason or not?

"Prisoner" Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa

Hello. Does it have to be source, where has been written that song has received universal critical acclaim? Tell me. There are none. Wikipedia the only one. As we can see, all critics have highly acclaimed the track, so we can write that song has received universal critical acclaim. Bogdan778855 (talk) 22:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

@Bogdan778855: Wikipedia does not allow original research. If it isn't sourced, it doesn't belong were.

EDIT: I guess it might be allowed. See Wikipedia:What_SYNTH_is_not#SYNTH_is_not_obvious_II. I won't revert it if you put it again, as I don't have enough knowledge, but maybe ask the talk page of the article? Best regards, 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 13:17, 25 November 2020 (UTC) Then why on other tracks this inscription exist? It is not source to it, it what critics say, there is no one source, only wiki. Bogdan778855 (talk) 22:14, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

And it is not "original research". Look at what critics say anx then reply me. Bogdan778855 (talk) 22:15, 23 November 2020 (UTC) @Bogdan778855: See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It it isn't sourced and can't be sourced, it should be removed. 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 22:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

So, you are writing, that this inscription has to be deleted from ALL songs in the world? Because in every song, where this incription exist, has no source, right? If you think so, go and delete it IN EVERY SONG, not only in Miley's. Or maybe you firstly THINK about what you said and then write me? Maybe you admit, that you are not right? Because it is very strange, that on other tracks, where also no source, this sentence, iscription exist but only on Miley's songs it deleted. Bogdan778855 (talk) 09:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
@Bogdan778855: Wikipedia does not allow syntheses of sourced content either. It may be okay if a review site says something like it, but if you combine all the reviews yourself and post that to Wikipedia, that falls under WP:SYNTH. Best regards, 4thfile4thrank {talk} :? 13:13, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Okay, then rxplain me, please, why on other songs inscriptions like: ""song name" received widespread/universal critical acclaim or positive/mixed reviews from music critics"? Because they don't have source too, but those inscriptions were not deleted? They only deleted in Miley's songs. Hhmhmh, guess why. Bogdan778855 (talk) 16:10, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Lisa Adams

I received a message from you after editing a page for the American painter Lisa Adams, who for years has done nothing about clarifying she is not Lisa Adams Australia https://www.lisaadamsaustralia.com/ and has allowed people to confuse my wife here in Australia for her. We are sick of it and now trying to rectify this your help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.36.159.182 (talk) 02:17, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Moss Rose

You deleted amends to the Moss Rose stadium Macclesfield. The stadium has a new name - the Leasing.com Stadium. Here is the source. https://www.macclesfieldfc.com/leasing-dot-com-official-stadium-sponsor

This is common practice for football grounds, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Power_Stadium — Preceding unsigned comment added by NemoEvs1981 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@NemoEvs1981: Leasing.com is a new sponsor. Please gain consensus on the talk page before making moves like this. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm not debating the merits of the name change but your report at AIV on NemoEvs1981 is completely inappropriate. Please read the definition of vandalism/promo only accounts before reporting at AIV. Praxidicae (talk) 16:12, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

@Praxidacae and NemoEvs1981: That may have been true. I removed the report. Please discuss on the talk page though before making moves though. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 16:13, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do not disrupt other users while they are editing the article

Why are you sliding in with your edits while I'm editing the article? I've never heard of anyone doing that on Wikipedia and I'm going to report you.

@Demons24: I removed it.

Thank you Demons24 (talk) 20:16, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I was wondering if it can be locked so it’s not deleted again I want to make sure it’s safe from deletion? Demons24 (talk) 20:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC) @Demons24:, I don't think so, as that will also make people unable to improve it. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 20:19, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Ok I just don’t want it be removed if people are working on it I was just saying Demons24 (talk) 20:20, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

A better way to implement changes?

Hi, I don't mean to be disruptive with my edits - what I did was edit the part of the description (namely "a town which is the de jure centre of the Lachin District of Azerbaijan, de facto under the occupation of the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh since 1992 as part of its Kashatagh Province.", as well as changing the de facto country and de facto district name to Azerbaijan and removing the name of the person who is no longer the mayor.) to reflect the change of circumstances in the region.

This is in accordance with the agreement signed on the 10th of November by Azerbaijan, Russia, and Armenia, which detailed that from the 1st of December 2020 the entire district of Lachin is going to be returned to Azerbaijani administration. Could you please suggest a better way to update information on that page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Therightsideofhistory (talk • contribs) 02:00, 1 December 2020 (UTC) @Therightsideofhistory: Add a reliable source. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 02:03, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Can you help resolve conflict of interest so we can publish Addictive Eaters Anonymous page. Like all the other 12 step fellowship pages. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vpkb2012 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

@Vpkb2012: There are three problems with this. First, you are clearly a shared account, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Second, the place does not have coverage by reliable secondary sources, which means that it does not belong here until secondary sources cover it. Third, you have a conflict of interest, which means that you are not allowed to publish pages related to your COI. Cheers, 4thfile4thrank (talk) 13:00, 1 December 2020 (UTC).

handshake under alternative dns

Hey there, you removed my further info reference at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root

For the info under Handshake.

I was going to make the page I had referenced here later today, as I'm on mobile and need to look into how to make the page when I get on my desktop- although the main concern here is what you changed it to is unrelated to what the topic was.

Whats the best solution to this meanwhile the page that needs to be made does not exist? Can I simply put the link to handshake.org here for now? Handshakeuser420 (talk) 17:24, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

@Handshakeuser420: There is no point in including a further info link to an article doesn't exist. Once you make the article, by all means put it. 4thfile4thrank (talk) 17:25, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Alright thanks for the info, appreciate the quick response. Have an amazing day Handshakeuser420 (talk) 17:26, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Well it looks like someone deleted my addition altogether even though I don't see why. Last time I try to contribute here for anything :/ Wasn't even given a reason why it wasn't allowed so I could fix it. This is stupid. At least you gave me a reason for the edit, but this guy just deleted it Handshakeuser420 (talk) 18:23, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
