Why did you undo my edit?

I apologize for my lack of summary in regard to my edit of the Christian Metal page. This was my first time attempting an edit. While it may have seemed as though my removal of material was not constructive, I would argue the opposite. While the information may be historically accurate, recent events surrounding the lead singer for "As I Lay Dying" (i.e. coming out as a longtime atheist, and conviction for attempting to hire a hitman to kill his estranged wife), clearly have stripped this band of any "Christian" metal affiliation. This band should be removed from this page so as not to confuse researchers on this topic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.128.247.182 (talk • contribs)

First, note that most of the reversions on Special:RecentChanges are on topics I don't care for in the slightest bit. What catches my eye is removal of large quantities of sourced text w/o an edit summary or explanation on a talk page. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, I almost always won't bother reverting. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 03:55, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

Hi The Last Arietta/Archive 1. After reviewing your request for rollback, 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:New admin school/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! EdJohnston (talk) 05:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Tai'an climate box

Why do you insist on deleting climate box of Taishan? As the source of HKO shows Mount Tai is clearly in Tai'an's administrative area, and you regard it as Qingdao's. Mount tai(Taishan) has no relationship with Qingdao AT ALL.Lzy881114 (talk) 02:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

CAIC Z-10

Hello, The Last Arietta. My name is Jon and I am the original contributor for the WZ-10 page. Recently two person one named Pvpoodle and the other Shulinjiang have been vandalizing the WZ-10 page. Pvpoodle posted biased western source to mock the WZ-10 that it was designed by Kamov, however this have been openly denied by both Chinese and Russian source. Later Kamov's chief designer recanted his words by saying that Kamov was only involved in the early brain storming back in the 1990's while WZ-10's detail design and core technology were all done by the Chinese themselves. This means that WZ-10 can not be counted as Russian design. Shulinjiang tried to debunk Pvpoodle's claim, and Pvpoodle's source were all posted in 2012 two years ago.

Right now, both Pvpoodle and Shulinjiang have been blocked due to vandalizing Wikipedia pages.

Please leave WZ-10 page as it is, I have spend many hours posting constructive materials on it. As you can see, it was well written in every section and I have spend many hours posting actual Chinese sources and pictures to back them up.

Please do not let people vandalize that page by posting none Chinese and biased sources. After all, WZ-10 is a Chinese military hardware.

Thank you

Jon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.160.102 (talk) 16:50, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

@64.134.160.102:/Jon, I sympathize with the Chinese on many issues, but I don't normally edit military-related articles and don't care for them. You need to be clear on what vandalism is. See WP:VAND. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 16:56, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you The_Last_Arietta for your understanding. If you take a look at Pvpoodle's sources, they are all western sources citing the words from Kamov's chief designer, however Kamov's chief deisnger have recanted his words. This alone make these sources unreliable. Second, these source were all written in December 2012, when the Chinese officially revealed WZ-10 to the public. Now you get an idea why all these sources all came out and bash China's accomplishment. I am not saying that Western sources are all like this, but there are quite a few of them.

Pvpoodle is Indian, and I have carefully read his edits which were all politically related stuffs. He recently got banned for 3 days for vandalizing. Shulinjiang got banned for two days for repeated editing. I am the original contributor for the WZ-10 page, having spend hours if not days on that page posting constructive materials not for any awards but for the good of Wikipedia. I really hope that you will protect the WZ-10 page. I am sure that when Pvpoodle was unbanned in three days, he will come back once again, I do not want to see anyone getting hurt anymore over this issue.

BTW, if you want the Chinese or Russian source to debunk Pvpoodle's biased sources.

I will be happy to provide thm for you.

Thank you

@64.134.160.102: (Jon), Pvpoodle is Indian That's ad hominem, not to mention irrelevant and assuming; some of my friends' fathers are native Chinese and hold some opinions of China which I consider to be borderline treason. however Kamov's chief deisnger have recanted his words I'll take your word for it, so you're good to go in my eyes. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 17:19, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

this guy not an original contributor to the article. edit history reveals no one by the name jon. he links he provides to "debunk my claims" are actually chinese versions of the same news reports i have cited. the chief designer has not actually recanted anything. he mentioned that kamov was involved in the design and to quote him directly "I know what I have done" from flightglobal. both the news report and the wiki article on z-10 both mention clearly that while the design is kamov's all further development work is chinese. i believe this preserves npov as it is only mentioning the news. however the same user has been sock puppetting with multiple ips and adding whatever he pleases without any valid reference in an attempt to spread his own propaganda while making ad-hominem attacks against me personally. you may wish to check Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shulinjiang before you continue to encourage his behaviour.Pvpoodle (talk) 14:27, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

About the source issue with the reception section of the Squidward page...

While it seems that the review by Mrenter is commonly known and somewhat notable, there is none of it in article form. This is mostly due to him strictly reviewing shows on YouTube due to the format being easier for his type of content. Does this mean it's not notable enough to put here, and if it is notable, what would this mean about said edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.38.83 (talk) 23:28, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I know of no exceptions to the rule, and you had best wait for a news release or similar. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 23:43, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

I looked at the page where rules like this are applied and there is nothing saying that one can't use video. It said that you can't use someone's blog or Twitter posts to provide evidence to a fact about the person who posted it or their opinions. YouTube hasn't been deemed an unreliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.38.83 (talk) 17:45, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

See WP:SELFSOURCE. Since the video you posted appears to be a review, it involves a claim about a third party and is not acceptable. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 20:48, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

I will fix it. This was a mistake.

There was a mistake in Template: Infobox school/doc that where the foreign names of examples were not italicized like they should be because the words are not adopted in English and normally they should be italicized.

"Hello, I'm The Last Arietta. An edit you recently made to Jesus walking on water seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page."

Dear Sir,

It wasn't a test, it was the real McCoy. It was simply adding a link for an uncommon word (at least to me) -- Pericope -- that could perhaps save a future reader the step of having to look it up separately like I had to do.

If you deem that the change is unnecessary, so be it.

Keep up the good work!

List of people born at sea

There's been an IP adding nonsense to List of people born at sea, and a few people have been reverting. In one edit, the IP added some nonsense but at the same time removed some more of their own vandalism. I then reverted badly, removing one piece of vandalism but accidentally reinstating another. The IP then removed their own remaining piece of vandalism - and that's what you reverted, thinking it was an unexplained removal. — Alan / Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello,

I did not know this is public.

Nibal is not dead I messed with her page.

Please remove the death part.

Hi, that removal wasn't a mistake. Actually Mazandarani peoples have their own language, culture, and their similarities with Persians is due to the fact that both of them are part of Iranian peoples. It's more or less the same case for Kurds, for example. They are Iranian (by ethnicity) but surely not Persian.

Looking at your contributions it seems like you're quickly skimming through recent changes. However, regarding JPview, please see WP:G7.

Myanmar Democratic Reforms

According to 2008 The Union of the Republic of Myanmar Constitution, and there was 2010 general election, the first election after 1990 . Start from this 2010 election, Myanmar citizens have enjoyed their voting right again ( a very important stage for democratic reforms in Myanmar ) to choose their representatives from many political parties. At least, we can say that political liberalization---especially for people who really want to participate in politics-- is introduced in Myanmar , start from this 2010 general election . If you say Myanmar democratic reforms was started from 2011 under "civilian" administration of president U Thein Sein, it seems it neglects the election , especially the vote of Myanmar people and the several political parties they involved . So far, some of their representatives are doing great jobs in Hluttqw , Parliaments . Since I respect Myanmar people, I edited that Myanmar democratic reforms were started from 2010 not 2011. bala (talk) 01:58, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

A hard copy of this text can be located in the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds, and has been reviewed prior to publication by leading medievalist historians, including Professor Graham Loud of the University of Leeds, Dr Emilia Jamroziack at the University of Leeds and Professor Graham Loud at the University of Hull. A full citation of this work was, I believe provided on the page, but if it was not, and if you wish to make yourself useful, you will aid me by citing the source correctly.

Thank You

Editor gutting own article

Hi. I had the same instinct as you, and still do if the editor seeks to gut only part of an article he created ... but if he seeks to gut the whole thing, I'm not sure but that he might not have the right. Since I'm not sure, I've posted at the AfD page asking for someone with a better handle on that rule to step in. Best. --Epeefleche (talk) 03:02, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@Epeefleche: Well of course they aren't the same account, so the relationship will have to be established before any claims of 'original authorship' are valid. As to contributors who made major edits, I'd say Onel5969 is the other, at the most. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 03:06, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Gladvertising

The entry for "Gladvertising" incorrectly states the term was coined in a July 2011 report by the Centre of Future Studies. It was actually coined by author Sinclair Lewis in 1918.

I edited the entry to reflect this and the edit was removed by you because of lack of citation. I'm responding to your message.

Updates to "Motion Picture Association of America film rating system" (PG-13 section)

Hello -

I have twice made a correct edit to the PG-13 section of this article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_rating_system) and twice have had it removed. I actually made the edits while I was not logged in, but you should be able to identify me from my IP address. The note I received from you said you were removing the edits because I did not cite an official source. This confuses me. I don't particularly need a source, because I can just watch the movie, which very clearly features two F-words. I don't think there's an article out there that I can use as a footnote confirming how many F-words are in the movie, but having seen the movie several times, I know that there are two. (I can cite the scenes in question if need be.) Can you please clarify what I need to do to make my edit permanent?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yossarian82 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@Yossarian82: The having seen the movie several times argument doesn't hold up in the face of our policies on verifiability. There is a source for 2013's Philomena having two instances, so you may have a chance of finding a source for yours. Personally I don't see how this is worth fussing over, as I could give a shit about anything the MPAA does, especially over a few commonplace (and not that offensive compared to racial epithets) 'swear words'. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 17:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

I agree with you completely about the MPAA in general, and the inoffensiveness of these words (in general, and compared to racial epithets). As for whether this is worth "fussing over," I don't know, this is Wikipedia, it's 99 percent minute details, so I don't know why this particular update is any more or less important than most of the other updates on pages that happen every day. I don't often edit, but I happened to be reading this particular article today, and I happened to notice something I knew was wrong, so I figured I'd update it.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this will work, but here is the video evidence of both F-bombs in "Ocean's Eleven":

F-bomb #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mJf24luhuo F-bomb #2: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xmj74e_did-you-check-the-batteries-from-ocean-s-eleven-2001_shortfilms — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yossarian82 (talk • contribs) 18:19, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

@Yossarian82: I'd be careful about YouTube, per WP:SELFSOURCE. The 2nd link appears finer, although I've never visited that site before. Stating "at least one F-bomb occurs in Ocean's Eleven" is good enough. It's not the difference between zero and a few dozen, for that matter. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 02:23, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Subject/headline

Hey there, I am sorry about all the edits that were posted via my profile a little earlier on. Those posts were posted by stalker ex-girlfriend who can't get over the fact that I broke up with her two weeks ago. I know it might sound lame but its the truth and I just changed my passwords after seeing this on my profile and was quite horrified with stuff posted. I hope we move past this as fellow Wikipedia editors.

Request for removal of sanctions

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The Last Arietta (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

The starting terms are: violation of any of the below is automatic grounds for a block of 10 days and increasing in duration exponentially by a factor of two to three for each subsequent violation. #3RR. #Personal attack intentionally directed at another editor, be it in user-space or anywhere else. #Screwing around with others' talk pages or user pages other than ##To post on them, provided they've not asked me to stay away. ##Obvious maintenance, such as removing non-Wikipedian categories per WP:USERCAT. As to the ability to keep my cool, I find counter-vandalism to be good at clearing my mind and working to be 'pissed off'; this is not to mention the work I perform that only attracts reverts once in a mine due to a syntax f***-up on my part. If I am involved in a dispute I actually care for, then if the above measures fail, I will consider WP:3O or ignoring them, per "I do not attempt to convert my opponents--I am at converting their audience. As to why I am not requesting from the perceived 'main account', even if that were unblocked, I wouldn't continue editing under it. Time for a new beginning. Take my pristine record under this account as a metric to measure me against and as evidence there is no ongoing disruption to others or the project as a whole. To avoid TL;DR, I won't say any more, so if you feel this request is lacking, bombard me with questions. Lastly, don't mention any other non-admin user name, please. Diffs only.

Decline reason:

The block was for sockpuppetry, which was confirmed via CheckUser evidence. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:54, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Removed information from wiki page

Hello, you recently removed information on I. Marlene King's page about her relationship with her girlfriend/wife. There is no formal statement to a relationship but multiple photos on her instagram around Mother's Day confirmed that she is in a relationship with a woman. I will be putting that information back in the page and suggest that before you remove anything from any page you conduct a search yourself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.65.147 (talk) 17:24, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Per WP:SELFSOURCE, you must ensure there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity, where 'its' refers to the Instagram account ownership. I would write something like 'King posted photos on her Instagram suggesting she entered a relationship with an unidentified woman'. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 17:37, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

There is no reasonable doubt to it's authenticity, her VERIFIED twitter account confirms this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.70.65.147 (talk) 17:44, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Twitter of course is better than Instagram for these purposes, but why are you claiming it is Twitter here when you referenced Instagram ([2]). Also 'who's' ≠ 'whose'. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 18:40, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit requests

Before responding 'perform these edits yourself or post the requests on the respective articles', there currently are sanctions against me.

1. Revert the last two edits WP:MOS-ZH disallows the provision of any Chinese-language information on the title of a page in the first sentence of an article when {{Infobox Chinese}} is transcluded, which it is at Guangzhou.
2. Revert to my last revision at Shuyang County.
   1. Removal of maintenance tags which I placed with NO explanation, or any attempt to resolve the problems mentioned therein, whatsoever.
   2. Uncited changes to population figures.
   3. Grammar issues/Removal of prepositions, such as Huaihai Opera was born in the years around 1830s.
   4. That weatherbox is inaccurate. See Ganyu District#Climate. This county doesn't have 1971–2000 normals computed for it; see [3].
   5. Insertion of many {{Infobox settlement}} fields that will likely never be used.
   6. Government type = "Province Managing County" Obscure terminology, and likely a screwed-up translation

TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 02:00, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

@The Rambling Man: James Garner#Later years is marked as unreferenced, but there currently is one. Please alter or remove the maintenance template for that section alone. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 20:21, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Nope, it's marked as need more references. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:22, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

My bad, I'm working on something else. Perhaps its B-class rating should be downgraded to C-class due to the presence of a major, reference-lacking section? This is not a subject I would be prone to giving "the benefit of the doubt". TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 20:23, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

16. [16] Unsourced and likely not notable

19. [19] Another 2sc945 sock.
20. [20] Then place it elsewhere.

[21] No, just no. Administrative borders change regularly in the PRC. If that is the case, please help us, by providing references that can be verified. But I did cover the fact that there are differing opinions or "references". If what you say is true, that the borders are in a constant state of flux, provide that info with references to help with this and future cases. Thanksspeednat (talk) 04:47, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

@Speednat: I moved your post down because it just looks awful when inserted among the list. As I said in the e-mail I sent you, the differing opinions or "references" are instead differing time-frames, as your reference is from 1998. While I used the Yearbook/Report from 2011, which is more often than not requires payment to access or is otherwise very difficult to search on Baidu. Which makes me sympathize with those ?who wish to verify things, as I did the dirty search work. I can do it again, but I need to sleep and it'll have to wait a few hours.

that the borders are in a constant state of flux No they aren't, with respect to a fixed place. Every few years local governments cede/annex land, with the State Council's or provincial government's approval. But there are several thousand of local governments just on the county-level, guaranteeing that every year, across the country, there are several changes. As to the source for that, I rely on XZQH (the bloody "www" is required), which acts sort of like a news feed to these changes. Just this year, there an administrative change in Harbin, albeit just an upgrade for Shuangcheng District. Their recent history for Acheng is more of an administrative nature, and I can find nothing in that link to assert there was ceding over/annexation of land with Acheng. With nothing yet to explain this change in area, I'd rather there be no mention of historical area. You can ask ASDFGH as well, but he rarely responds to queries.

On that site, you can see many counties, which are mostly rural in nature, converting towns to subdistricts, a more urban designation. This is another testament to China's breakneck urbanization, and is fascinating to watch. TLA 3x ♭ → ♮ 06:46, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

   “The editing process of writing an online encyclopedia is very selective. A lead group of super-admins rule the narrative by majority consensus and mob opinion was accepted as fact,” she said. “Clearly this poses a big problem.”

Some views

1. Sviatoslav Richter avoided publicly performing or recording pieces where he felt he could hardly add interpretative insight to. I feel similarly towards discussion anywhere, generally avoiding participation (namely XfD, Requested Moves, RfC, general user conduct threads) in discussions if I feel I don't have a new perspective. The key is argumentatum ad infinitum doesn't work.
2. Knowing when to NGAF (not give a f***) or to drop the stick, including 'not taking sth personally', is a great skill. Some may call it maturity. But it also entails professionalism. Although I hate the term, 'cost-benefit analysis' comes into play, and the failsafe litmus test is: 'Are you blowing an atom into a planet with this dispute?' Take this exchange from GoldenEye:
   • M: I don't want you go running off on some kind of vendetta. Avenging Alec Trevelyan will not bring him back.
   • Bond: You didn't get him killed.
   • M: Neither did you. Don't make it personal.
   • Bond: Never.
3. Myself included, I have not met A SINGLE person who can realistically/objectively evaluate his/her own actions while they are taking place. Take yet another exchange (Skyfall):
   • M: Where the hell have you been?
   • Bond: Enjoying death. 007 reporting for duty.
   • M: Why didn't you call?
   • Bond: You didn't get the postcard. You should try it some time. Get away from it all. It really lends perspective.
4. It's commonly noted that sarcasm on the 'Net doesn't work/come across well. While not entirely true, what I do think hardly works is weeping in apologies, plastering them with 'I'm terribly sorry', 'I regret...', and the like; in person, one could determine if such appeals to emotion are sincere via the usual body+eye language, tone of voice, and maybe a lie detector, but this is the bloody Internet, not in-person conversation or Skype. When you've had a kerfuffle, IMO such phrases are nothing but extraneous fillers. Acknowledge the manner/area in which you screwed up, show evidence of improvement/rectifying the problem (if possible), and only if needed, demonstrate a concrete proposal to avoid 'cocking it up' in the future.
5. While nasty, unwelcome and possibly indicative of an intolerance to others' viewpoints, calling real-world adherents to a viewpoint or practitioners of a custom names is definitely not a personal attack directed at a specific [or group of] editor. IMO, inability to make this distinction makes your criticism of others' incivility that much less valid.
