Telangana
Article telengana is affected by Vandalism. some editors are aggressively trying to insert non nuetral arguments into it. Plz ensure page protection for the article. Sorry if I used the word incorrectly in any situations.Rameshnta909 (talk) 16:54, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Rameshnta909. TheRedPenOfDoom, who is a very experienced editor, disagrees with your assessment. Please use Talk:Telangana to discuss why you feel content should be removed. --NeilN talk to me 16:59, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Yes I agree with the opinion of TheRedPenOfDoom on this particular edit but there are lot of instances of vandalism in the page like blanking of page and aggressively inserting non nuetral arguments. plz ensure page protection for the article.Rameshnta909 (talk) 17:09, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Rameshnta909 - I'm not an admin so I can't protect an article. Please make your request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. --NeilN talk to me 17:17, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I am wondering
just what "situation resolved" (or something) at the Talk:Toll Brothers page means? I believe that I was the first editor to stumble onto the "threat" and I am curious as to what finally happened. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 02:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Carptrash. The IP and his socks were blocked either indefinitely or for a year. There's nothing further for editors to discuss or speculate on. WMF Legal was given a heads up but I doubt they'll hear anything further given the specious nature of the threat. --NeilN talk to me 02:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Just curious. thanks for getting back to me. Carptrash (talk) 15:50, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Potential superpower
I suspect that the IP at Potential superpowers is none other than this guy. He was temporarily blocked for his unconstructive edits, POV pushing, personal attacks and harassment. The administrator who blocked him made the observation that hes using proxies (thus the reason why he edits under many different IP addresses). If he continues his behavior on Potential superpowers ill report him. Antiochus the Great (talk) 20:14, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- I placed a talk discussion to further talk on this matter on Potential Superpowers. I reverted back because there was no discussion on January 1st[1]. Since there was no discussion on these edits, I reverted back simply because
I felt there no proof on the article was done in good faith as good sources were removed with using talk.--185.35.164.107 (talk) 20:19, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- I see participation on the talk page by both Antiochus and Arnoutf on January 1st. --NeilN talk to me 20:24, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
That was only population, that wasn't on other matters. Sources were removed without talk{http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Talk:Potential_superpowers&action=history] So I ask we talk about those matters. I placed a discussions on talk, you see what I added there.--185.35.164.107 (talk) 20:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
- Three editors have reverted you and you've been reported for WP:3RR. You need to stop reverting and discuss as this is not just you and Antiochus reverting each other. --NeilN talk to me 20:43, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Rahul Gandhi Revert
I changed the Gandhi starting to Rahul Gandhi. Because in that article lot of references to Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, Nehru-Gandhi Family etc.. This will confuse with Rahul Gandhi by simply saying (Gandhi). Also in India if you say Gandhi then it normaly refer to the Mahatma Gandhi, Father of the Nation. If you go for a google search just "gandhi" then you will get the pages of Mahatma Gandhi. Ok this article is about Rahul Gandhi but I think it is better to use Rahul Gandhi insted of just Gandhi. --Ranjithsiji (talk) 10:52, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ranjithsiji, the references to the other Gandhis are very minimal. In fact, I took a second look at the article just now and found there are already way too many instances of "Rahul Gandhi" right now. I will be shortening most of them per our other articles like George W. Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton. --NeilN talk to me 13:05, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
Superpower article
Hello, I opened an RfC at the talk page of the superpower article. A particular IP has been making some rather unconstructive edits (pushing POV material and undoing mine and others edits). I would appreciate it if you could join the discussion with a brief comment expressing your opinion, or something like that. Thank you. Antiochus the Great (talk) 22:21, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ross Miller shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --2602:304:B0FD:BF10:DC61:8E1E:22A1:B638 (talk) 15:27, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Undid revision
If under attack attack meant that your opponent has a move to that square, then a king would be allowed to threaten the other king if it was protected because the square the king moved to wouldn't be under attack because the other player couldn't put their king in chack to capture your king and I know that that's not allowed in chess. I sometimes attempted to move my king right beside the other king in Chess Titans when my king would have been protected and Chess Titans said that square was under attack so I know what under attack means. It might have been better to wait for somebody to modify what I added in to have it state what I was trying to say more clearly. Blackbombchu (talk) 04:09, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Blackbombchu, That, along with "A square is under attack when by a player when that player would have a move to that square, even if it weren't for the restriction that they can't put their king in check." is completely unclear and I play chess. The current wording leading off the Check section is accurate and concise. --NeilN talk to me 05:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
reference links not intended to be spam. suggestions?
hi, im new to this, im attempting to present factoids of songs written about people on their wikipedia articles. however, the best references I found were links to the amazon pages for said songs. any suggestions for alternate links I can use as reference to avoid deletion for "spam", which is not my intention ..would magazine reviews of those records suffice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mozfanboy (talk • contribs) 05:49, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
please do not black list me
i added a whole lot of stuff with similar links before i realized i had messages, alright? im not spamming, just did not realize those links wouldnt work as references. I will have to do better research for references. I am sorry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mozfanboy (talk • contribs) 05:54, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

- @Kalix94, while I am somewhat sympathetic, your edits, edit summaries, and potential sockpuppetry have me unwilling to do more than I have already done - a couple of attempts at removal and pointing out on the talk page that the sentence was to be removed as per the RFC. --NeilN talk to me 15:01, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Instant reversion of my intro change to "Unidentified Flying Objects"
The intro as it stands now is historically inaccurate and highly POV. Different governmental and private studies have indeed come to widely differing conclusions about the significance of UFOs (including the USAF, which has produced both), whereas the current intro states that the conclusions are all negative. That is simply FALSE (in caps, because it is without question factually inaccurate).
I linked to the list of various studies in the Wiki Ufology section as a reference, because that would demonstrate the point (studies both positive and negative), provide further links for further reading, and simplify the intro by removing a list of links to various studies within the intro itself.
I don't understand the rationale for removing this (self-referential Wiki link), since the rest of the article and all of Wikipedia is full of cross-referencing Wiki links. In fact, the intro you reverted to uses three self-referential Wiki links, but only to negative UFO studies. Would you prefer a list of studies, positive and negative, within the intro, all with links outside of Wikipedia?
The key point, however, is that the intro as written is currently factually incorrect.50.0.95.136 (talk) 01:10, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
- Please log in with your account and use Talk:Unidentified flying object to discuss. Also, please see the sourced Unidentified_flying_object#Scientific_studies section. Finally, you are factually inaccurate (do I need caps?) in saying the "intro states that the conclusions are all negative." --NeilN talk to me 01:21, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

- @Schoolsbelly You're just going to get yourself blocked if you keep editing as you have. Wikipedia treats the Dallas News as a reliable source. If there are errors in the article, you need to provide other reliable sources that point them out. --NeilN talk to me 15:36, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

You removed a legitimate CNN reference by A Killough And you removed "under oath". I can see you removing "under oath" but the reference to her being supported by her husband etc, which is still in the article was in the CNN article. That is why it was cited. You should not have removed the citation.
I will add the Federal court transcription record as a link showing her taking an oath and showing her stating that she received no money from her husband.
The citation to CNN and the Washington Post are reliable sourcesa nd are ubiquitous in the media.
The citation you removed will be replaced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.242.111 (talk) 16:45, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Review Management page
Hello! I received your message that you removed my citations on the Review Management page because you were concerned they were promoting a business - this was not my intent. The article is listing services that review managing companies offer - my company offers several services that are typical to online review managing so I was trying to show that was the case. I totally understand that it does lead to my business site though, so if you need to remove it, I understand that as well.

Invicta
Hello,
I read you post about reverting the Invicta article. Unless one looks at two links posted from a known watch forum and a blog owned by a respected member of the watch and clock association, almost every thing related to Invicta is put out there by the current ownership which has been caught in many,many lies. I have seen something similar with Doxa watches. A brand which went out of business and then was re-invented by the new owners. I know someone who posted on the largest watch forum in the world, owned by a magazine in fact who exposed Jacques Coustea as a man who forsook his country during WWII. He posted the information because a watch company was touting the relationship. That person was banned for telling the truth.
Wiki has become almost a advertising site from business rather than an objective site.
Granny lalo (talk) 04:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Breast article
Neil, can I get your temporary or long-term help watching the Breast article? I just reverted a mostly odd edit there. And that editor is likely to revert and/or object on the talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 14:17, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Watchlisted. I'll probably ask on the talk page for the editor to explain if they revert. --NeilN talk to me 15:12, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. And notice that the source about orgasm from nipple stimulation only claims that some women can orgasm that way (the orgasms are still genital orgasms, regardless); it mentions that a few men have similar response with regard to how the brain reacts to breast stimulation, but it doesn't state that those men achieved an orgasm from such stimulation.
- Anyway, thanks again. And on a side note, I was going to state that, if you're interested, there is a move discussion at the newly titled People (American magazine) article. But now I see that the article has been moved back to its current title (moved back minutes ago). Not sure how you feel on the subject, but I felt that you might be interested in that discussion, given our past involvement in "People magazine as a source" discussions. If a new discussion about that mater starts, I might ask Wikipedia:WikiProject Magazines (though it's generally inactive) and the people at Wikipedia:Disambiguation to weigh in on it.

Dispute Ayurveda
Why are you ignoring the clinical research that I have presented? I am presenting facts. You have no right to ignore facts and distort the truth for the sake of for-profit corporate interest groups who make a big income by NOT curing cancer. I am going to provide you with the clinical research that I suggest you take a look at before you sensor the truth. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0304383595038873
http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-0-387-46401-5_21#page-1 http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/10/20/6847.short
http://clincancerres.aacrjournals.org/content/7/7/1894.short http://repository.ias.ac.in/5196/ I have much more, and I suggest you review these clinical research articles before you are so hasty as to censor the truth. You can't argue with science. You seem to be more interested in propaganda than facts, so I am going to research what actions I can take against your refusal to allow my first ammendment rights to be infringed upon. It is one thing to censor false information. It is quite another to censor facts that are backed up by science. Wikipedia is supposed to be unbiased,therefore, I took out information that was not based on facts, and I added information that was based on facts. I did not remove all information that represented the corporate biased allopathic view, only the information that was not fact-based. I allowed for the corporate allopathic view to express their opinions, as well, but countered it with the facts of scientific research. I intend to dispute your actions with all of my time and power. People like you are why misinformation runs so rampant in the world. I hope you can sleep at night knowing that millions of people are dying from a disease that allopathy has no cure for, thanks entirely to your closed-minded, corporate sponsored, unscientific censorship of the the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.144.245.114 (talk)

Hi NeilN. You said on Talk:Justin Bieber#Legal troubles section that you have "no objection" to trimming of the removed section to three or four points. I have posted a new trimmed section in purple near the end. It is five sentences, compared to the previous sixteen or so. The first of the five sentences is the topic sentence, half of which is already in the article already. I would like your further comments on it. Thanks. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 00:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

- It's not that there's something inherently wrong from the content in the current paragraph, but I believe something is missing. Which is why I am proposing some elaboration of his troubles before his first arrest, which were profiled in many reliable sources when his first arrest was reported. This demonstrates long-term notability. I am not trying to change the content currently in the article, but I am trying to add more information. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 01:13, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
- Regarding your comment, I see your point. The content on his image change (I do have more source for that, and can use your source also) can go to the Image section, but the actual previous incidents I am proposing should go to the Personal section. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 01:13, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi NeilN, I'd just like to say that I added your provided source to the article to the Image section (with content from that source). That part has since been reverted / removed by Collect. starship.paint (talk | contribs) 12:24, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Please read the second to last paragraph on the NY Times article. The quote I provided was directly lifted from there.

Ayurveda
Hi, I am Anil and I want to know that those Ayurvedic books was not promotional, and you should read the Wikipedia guidelines It says "If you wish to add new facts, please try to provide references so they may be verified, " . If you want to verify you can sure check the website and download those books and read them, then take any action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk • contribs) 17:48, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal, the "fact" you were referencing by adding a link to a book was that the author wrote what looks like to be a self-published book. Wikipedia is not the place to promote such things. The only way the book would merit a mention in the article is if it is widely considered an influential and historically important work. --NeilN talk to me 17:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
First you should read about the author in Wikipedia and then see there he was died 4 years ago how can he promote his own books he didn't even copyrighted the books he dedicated his whole life for human kind he was very well known social activist in India and you are saying it was not influential and historical. Please read about the author Rajiv Dixit and please don't make this place hard
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal, you are advertising his books. And please read what I wrote carefully. The book must be widely considered an influential and historically important work. The author's bio doesn't even mention any work in Ayurveda, besides noting he wrote a book. --NeilN talk to me 18:13, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia welcome page says "If you wish to add new facts, please try to provide references so they may be verified, or suggest them on the article's discussion page." If you want to verify you can go to website and check books. How can you edit a page like ayurveda when you don't know anything about it or hindi language. Please after verifying the books undo my editing yourself.Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 18:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal, you're still not reading what I wrote. Here it is in a different way: We do not add text about non-notable books to articles. We're not interested in advertising "facts" about such works. --NeilN talk to me 18:32, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
But everyone who reads article about Ayurveda wants to explore more on this topic and want to read a book which is not written by some hobo the author was expert in his field he even cured a person effected with radiation which is not possible any other place. What else you want and next time please mention me to the line where its written in Wikipedia guideline that a reference should be world famous.Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 18:47, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal, you have provide no sources indicating the author was regarded as an expert in the field. You have provided no sources showing the book is notable (Wikipedia:Notability (books)). And you are not using the book as a reference. You are essentially saying, "hey, this book is important enough in its field to have a specific mention in the article" without providing any proof that it is considered significant. --NeilN talk to me 18:59, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Ok you want a proof I will give you. Read about Ramdev and then see the video of Rajiv Dixit giving lecture with Ramdev on health topics. See youtube video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY67VAMZqeE. This time if you won't revert it I will assume you are being racist because all the lectures and books are in Hindi language.Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 19:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal: Doesn't even come close to establishing that the book is influential or historically significant. See WP:SYNTH for starters. And I would keep your assumptions to yourself - WP:NPA. --NeilN talk to me 19:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Tell me your email Id and how many emails you count as significant, a million would be enough or moreAnil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 19:32, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Go to google keywords research tool and enter Rajiv Dixit there and see Rajiv Dixit has more 50,000 searches per month and Ayurveda has 160,000 per month.Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal, doesn't matter. We rely on published reliable sources that state if a work is significant in the field (in this case, probably academic sources), not email and google search counts. --NeilN talk to me 19:37, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Answer These Questions:
Do you have knowledge of Ayurveda? Can you read Hindi? Do you know anyone in India?
If none of them is yes, then how can you verify that he is a notable person or not. I have given you video link where he is giving speech but you can't understand because its in Hindi. First find someone who know Hindi than research on that person and don't throw random links at me. Read 1st, 3rd, and 5th point of (Wikipedia:Notability (books)). And this time if you won't revert my changes, tell me how can I report to the Wikipedia support that you are trying to harassing without even having the knowledge of the topic.Anil Singh Pokhriyal (talk) 19:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Anil Singh Pokhriyal - Answers: No (besides what is in the article), no, and yes. And per WP:BURDEN, it's up to you to provide references explicitly stating the book is significant enough to mention in the article. If you want to escalate this content dispute, see WP:DR. If you want to report my behavior, see WP:ANI. I think you'll be disappointed in the responses you'll get in both places, though. --NeilN talk to me 20:07, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

The "best friend" material added to various WP:BLPs
Did you see the dispute going on with regard to Pass a Method, StAnselm and Sportfan5000 across various celebrity articles, such as here and here at the Brad Pitt article? Quite trivial information. I would have already reverted Sportfan5000 at the Brad Pitt article, but I was busy with other matters and was waiting to see if anyone else would revert. Still waiting. Sportfan5000 was reverted at other articles on this "best friends" material, such as here at the Jennifer Aniston article by Lady Lotus and here at the Justin Timberlake article by XXSNUGGUMSXX. We certainly don't need a "best friends" precedent set for WP:BLP articles. Flyer22 (talk) 19:38, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment: anyone else smell sock puppets? LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- What the hell? Are we going to add, "Her favorite color is purple and her favorite food is pizza" next? All reverted. This is an encyclopedia, not Stars Weekly. The only reason why that kind of relationship would merit a mention is if sources wrote about what kind of notable impact it had on the subject's life. --NeilN talk to me 19:55, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Exactly. An example of actually notable friendships I can think of that had impact on career and such would be Matt Stone and Trey Parker since they frequently work together on projects (notably South Park). StAnselm also reverted the addition of Rihanna being the best friend of Katy Perry. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:00, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- There is still Courteney Cox and George Clooney to go, and then I think we've cleaned it all up. StAnselm (talk) 20:02, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Lady Lotus, Sportfan5000's editing style is completely different than Pass a Method's editing style...generally anyway. Sure, if you look at Sportfan5000's earliest Wikipedia contribution, it's clear that Sportfan5000 was not completely new editing Wikipedia, but that's likely unrelated. For example, Pass a Method generally never types as much as Sportfan5000 did in that first contribution. And I'm comparing those two because StAnselm was the one trying to remove the "best friends" material.
- Exactly, Neil. Thanks for reverting the rest. Flyer22 (talk) 20:04, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, Sportfan5000 actually provided references, dubious though they might be. Pass a Method added them all in with no sourcing whatsoever, and then seemed outraged that I reverted him. StAnselm (talk) 20:08, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Ok those two are gone (did 11 by my count). To be clear, I have no issues with editors re-adding the material in an encyclopedic context. Say, for example, how the friendship of Cox and Aniston has affected their careers or made an impact on their personal (and notable) views. --NeilN talk to me 20:11, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- It would be fair to mention "with friend ______" if involved in an organization or project of some sort, but to say "is best friends with ______" is rather unnecessary except for friendships like the one between Matt Stone and Trey Parker. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:13, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Exactly, Neil. Thanks for reverting the rest. Flyer22 (talk) 20:04, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
This kind of stuff is also used by publicists so watch out for that. Adding {name of famous celebrity) is best friends with (name of less famous celebrity) in the former's article to drive traffic to the latter's article. --NeilN talk to me 20:18, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I could make an exception for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, but it'd need to be covered well...like Neil and XXSNUGGUMSXX stated. Not like this piece, which Gareth Griffith-Jones reverted. But then again, the Damon and Affleck connection is covered well enough in their articles. Also, if we were to cover such relationships in WP:BLP articles, and in an encyclopedic way, then do we duplicate that exact material in both articles? Flyer22 (talk) 20:21, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I wouldn't think so as the effects of the friendship would likely not be the same on both parties. Hypothetical: Celeb A credits best friend Celeb B with getting him sober after a long stint of alcoholism. That would appear in A's article but not necessarily in B's. --NeilN talk to me 20:26, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- No I wasn't saying StAnselm was a sock, it just seems convenient that Pass a Method and Sportfan5000 are backing up this kind of edit so hard. LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:36, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- We knew that, Lady Lotus- no worries XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 20:42, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't know that for sure; wasn't sure if Lady Lotus was aware that StAnselm was doing the opposite. So that's why I stated above, "And I'm comparing those two because StAnselm was the one trying to remove the 'best friends' material." And then Lady Lotus responded to that. Flyer22 (talk) 20:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Out of interest, Sportfan5000 has called my reversions "disruptive". StAnselm (talk) 01:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- StAnselm When I revert something like that, an edit summary of "unsourced trivia" covers both bases :-) --NeilN talk to me 01:16, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

- Comment; the way i'm reading some responses is that the only thing that is notable about BLP's personal lives should be a) their spousal relationships b) their religion and c) any family members they may have. I mean i know a lot of people who attach more importance to their friends over their family members so why shouldn't wikipedia reflect real life? Pass a Method talk 04:04, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- And I know people who love their pets more than their family members. The fact remains we need reliable sources covering how important the relationship is and its impact. Marriage/kids have implied importance and are standard biographical details. --NeilN talk to me 04:10, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
- Did the friend(s) play a significant part in the person's career and/or personal life (i.e. crediting friend for helping recover from alcoholism, depression, drugs, etc.)? If not, then the friendship is trivial. XXSNUGGUMSXX (talk) 04:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Removal of hypoventilation training
Dear Nein
A few hours ago, you reverted my edit on "physical exercise" and "James Counsilman".
You said to me that the external links did not seem to be appropriate for an encyclopedia.
I can understand that links to websites where you can buy books, in particular self-published work or books not available in any library, should not be added.
However, I don't agree with you when you decide to remove "hypoventilation training" from the two pages above mentionned. Hypoventilation training has been the subject of many scientific studies over the last decade and can really be considered as a physical exercise.
Furthermore, this training method, which consists of reducing the breathing frequency while exercising, began to be used by runners in the 1950's and was also instigated by James Counsilman in the early 1970's in swimming.
I think these data can be useful for people who want to get information about physical exercise and James Counsilman. As such, I would like to edit again the changes I made today but without any external links.
I hope you will be ok with this, so that we won't waste our time to edit and undo the same things endlessly.
Kind regards

- @CFredkin It's not exactly disruptive until you can cite a guideline or policy for your version and communicate that to the other editor. I've organized the page according to WP:MOS so hopefully that will be the end of it. --NeilN talk to me 21:59, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

In addition to TKN's repeated POV and inaccurate edits to "Matt Schultz" and his/her malicious edits to the Disambiguation page, there's this edit which resulted in the portrait image on "Matt Schultz" being removed. Would it be reasonable in your opinion at this point to seek an article ban? Or would a threat of that be appropriate?CFredkin (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- @CFredkin, as far as I can determine, he also uploaded the picture which is used being currently. As the edit occurred three weeks ago, I would let it go. --NeilN talk to me 17:55, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks for the input.CFredkin (talk) 18:12, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Jimmy Henchman page
thhe Jimmy Henchman page was litigated, vetted, and decided up by the Wikipedia community. Please see the RfD discussion. I reverted the page to most accurate version of it before it was vandalized as did StaticVapor. Do we need to go through another RfD? If so we should have the original commenter present including RonJOhn and Dennis Brown. Thank youScholarlyarticles (talk) 21:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Scholarlyarticles, your repeated usage of the term "litigated, vetted, and decided up" is frankly nonsensical. Use the article's talk page to gain consensus before doing such a massive revert. --NeilN talk to me 21:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
please take a look at this. It went on for white a while and a mediator was involved. Most the information was voted on. The outcome was keep as it was. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jimmy_Henchman. Someone removed the pointer to the discussion so I hope this helps. Scholarlyarticles (talk) 21:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Scholarlyarticles, I'm aware of that. It's a deletion discussion from 2012, not a content discussion. The content discussion took place last month on the article's talk page. --NeilN talk to me 21:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
Actually, we did have a discussion of all the points in article and whether they were backed by the articles. Much of the hard work of many editors was deleted in this round. I don't know where the consensus came from as most of the authors who built the page were trying to protect it from massive and inaccurate deletions. Scholarlyarticles (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Scholarlyarticles, you completely mischaracterize the AFD discussion and misconstrue its purpose. Read the article's talk page for content discussion. --NeilN talk to me 21:55, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- I saw no place in the discussion on the talk page in which there was consensus about changing the content of the page that people worked so hard to create and therefore it was premature to allow it to be stripped of its content. For now, I would like to take to take the Chuck Philips paragraph out under his personal life until this can be resolved in dispute resolution. Chuck Philips isn't a part of Henchman's personal life, and there's a BLP issue. I hope that's okay for now. .Scholarlyarticles (talk) 22:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Scholarlyarticles, then you really need to read closer. Talk:James_Rosemond#WP:BLP_issues on down has many, many, many posts on the content and how it had BLP and sourcing problems. And please, discuss article changes on the article talk page where other interested editors can weigh in. --NeilN talk to me 22:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

- I don't mean to be difficult. I know it's a controversial page. But we spent months on this. Henchman is a notorious person of great interest. Dennis Brown was referred by the Arbitration Committee to help with this issue. He spent a tremendous amount of time not only helping people understand the issues involved but actually reading the underlying articles. There is no consensus on the talk page that changed what was an excellent article to an inaccurate incomplete and problematic few paragraphs. To wipe out what has been there for a year and a half because a few people don't like it seems like a great waste of time and energy. I imagine Henchman has lots of people who don't like what's been written but we can't keep rehashing this. For instance, I noticed that even on the talk page reasonable arguments are being deleted. A number of times on Jimmy Henchman's talk page editors wiped out massive parts of the discussion. This is a serious, important page on a notorious person that has been well-researched and collaborated on by many people. I don't think we can allow someone to just wipe out massive portions of the talk page. Likewise, massive portions of the page including a painstaking analysis of Henchman's criminal activity recounted by someone was removed. This is serious business. Really, we spent a lot of time on this, and a lot of time of very valuable and respected members of this community were involved and I don't think it's a good idea to let such a version stand when it does not have consensus. I hope you understand.Please consider going back to the earlier version until there is a consensus. Thank you. Scholarlyarticles (talk) 22:29, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Scholarlyarticles, again you completely mischaracterize what happened. Digging through ANI, I see that Dennis Brown was not referred by Arbcom but instead offered to be your mentor as he and others felt you were having problems understanding Wikipedia (sourcing, copyright violations, personal attacks). And no, I will not discount the detailed analysis done over the last month in favor of a more superficial discussion on sources done at AFD. --NeilN talk to me 22:45, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Michel Lewis (psychologist)
Having tried to explain Wikipedia's rules on WP:COI the idea of the subject of the article repeatedly adding back his additions, including removing the C O I tag, is totally unacceptable. If the subject wishes to suggest changes, these should be made on the talk page and consensus reached before they are added. Please revert your last change. Thanks - Arjayay (talk) 22:25, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
- Arjayay, I too have been involved in looking at the article and reverting when necessary. However WP:COI does not say never edit articles. We are not machines here - we can judge if an edit improved an article and act accordingly without making new editors jump through hoops. In this case, the edit also added references to an unreferenced BLP. I call that an improvement. However you are entirely correct in saying the COI tag should not have been removed. I will restore that right now. --NeilN talk to me 22:38, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Wendy Davis - need your help with same user
NazariyKaminski just reverted a number of edits in this edit http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wendy_Davis_%28politician%29&diff=prev&oldid=596184564 with a false claim "(Reverted a ton of the removals of notable, reliably sourced pieces of information that was deleted with comment on the talk page and without an attempt to reach a consensus such as the FACT that she lived in Mistletoe Heights and not in trailer until Harv)" There was no mention that she lived in a trailer until Harvard. Sentence about Mistletoe Heights neighbourhood was removed because it was not connected to any significant statement. That can be added. But you can see with the other edits, you can see sentences were moved and reworded e.g. exact quote from announcement speech used and info was also added e.g. she also separated from Underwood at age 19, details of family living arrangements while at Harvard. etc. Only duplicate info was removed. There were also a number of corrections to accuracy e.g. Jeff's statements. All were sourced from reliable sources and I made note of what I did in each edit in the edit summary for each edit.
You reverted this user Toa Nidhiki05 when they did a similar revert yesterday. http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wendy_Davis_%28politician%29&diff=596120824&oldid=596120475
I can restore each edit back but this user may just try this tactic again of mass reversions, with a blanket false claim. What can be done? Can they be given a warning? Maybe I should act soon to address this edit before this user continues but would appreciate your help and advice.

- Replied on the talk page, Iricova. I agreed with one of your points. By the way, you don't have to add my name here when you post. I add your name because you should get an alert if I mention you here (so you don't have to keep checking if I replied). If you post here though, I automatically get a notification there's a new post on my talk page. --NeilN talk to me 22:43, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
- Noted. I remain wary of NazariyKaminski based on his revert above and his recent two edits and his comments their edit summaries. About to post one more comment re the years of marriage. Iricova (talk) 23:14, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
NazariyKaminski just reverted your revert without discussion on talk page: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wendy_Davis_%28politician%29&diff=prev&oldid=596312006 He also did this edit, illogical claim http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Wendy_Davis_%28politician%29&diff=prev&oldid=596312496 --Iricova (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Context for the comments made by NazariyKaminski in his edit summaries & by others on talk page, linked to from the Guardian article that was cited in the article:
http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/01/22/wayne_slater_paints_wendy_davis_as_a_gold_digger_and_a_bad_mother_in_the.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/21/wendy-davis-sexism_n_4638465.html
- What is described in these articles seems to be reflected in the language and reasoning used by them.
- Also, back to NazariyKaminski's claim about re "FACT that she lived in Mistletoe Heights and not in trailer until Harv". No where in the sources that state that she was living with her child in a trailer as a single mother claimed that she continued to live there until Harvard. The neighbourhood she lived in with Jeff is not a particularly notable fact. No where does it say they lived together in a trailer. His profession is well documented and noted in the article, and referenced later in the law career section. I could not see where the neighbourhood would tie in to the rest of the article. I also do not see any reference to her living in a trailer in this article even though it was widely reported and symbolic significance to her economic background. --Iricova (talk) 14:01, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also in the interest of chronology and logical flow, I think the number of years married sentence should be moved to the last paragraph concerning the 2003 divorce. I still think this sentence is redundant when the year of the separation and the year of the official divorce are already noted in that paragraph. I'm wary of postig this to the discussion the talk page right now due to the current nature of the discussion. Again, it is not a particularly notable fact, it is not being disputed as any key part of controversy. Neither is Amber's adoption although it can tie in with the discussion on custody arrangements. Also the articles I mentioned above talk about why some are focusing on all these details like the exact time period in the trailer, the length of the marriage, exact date of divorce, etc. wp:undue may have some application here.

Your recent editing history at Wendy Davis (politician) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --NK (talk) 14:32, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Serena Williams
Hello. I am not sure as to why you view I am in an edit war. The issue I spoke of is clearly cited in the article that is referenced:
"Williams came up on the wrong end when Mariana Alves overruled the line judge in the opening game of the third set -- it was an obvious call, the ball landed two centimeters (an inch) or so inside the line.
"I guess she went temporary insane," Williams said.
Alves will not advance.
"Regrettably, the replay on television showed that an incorrect overrule was made," tournament referee Brian Earley said.
"A mistake was made. Ms. Alves is not scheduled to officiate another match during the 2004 U.S. Open."
No one would say whether Alves -- seated on the opposite side of the court from where Williams' ball landed -- had been flat-out fired. Either way, she's gone -- too late to help Williams"

Spam revert
NeilN -
I added a substantiated anecdote to the Spam(food) page. The editor who keeps removing the passage cited that my source "was a blog". This is not true. The item regarding Shane Victorino and PETA taking him to task for his love of Spam was widely reported by legitimate news media, including the Phila. Inquirer/Daily News (my original footnote), as well as TV station KHNL in Hawaii (see http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/9183387/peta-urges-shane-victorino-to-strike-spam-from-his-menu).
I don't understand why this keeps getting removed. Victorino is an extremely well-known baseball star (now with the Boston Red Sox) and the anecdote is extremely relevant to the topic of Spam in popular culture, especially since he is from Hawaii (which leads in Spam consumption as per the existing Wiki text). And Victorino remains probably the #1 Spam fan in all of professional sports.

Excuse me, but you must stop blanking my talk page. I don't do it to you, so you don't do it to me. Thank you. --Civivlaospei (talk) 21:25, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

another bad name of users
wikipedia is full of users that using bad names, not their real names.like:User:Alf.laylah.wa.laylah , his user name means One Thousand and One Nights.-- (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- That's a great name! --NeilN talk to me 03:49, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
- It's literally "a thousand nights and a night," but who's counting?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 05:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- @Alf.laylah.wa.laylah: So based on a note on Drmies' page, I picked up this last night. Should be an interesting read. --NeilN talk to me 19:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- Let me know how you like it. I've only read the Richard Burton translation, which is a little florid, but I love 19th century British prose, so it suits my taste. A modern version could be super-fun too, though!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Article is now move-protected. Unless User:Portugal Editor Exploration has an immediate change of heart and expresses interest in following Wikipedia policy, I think an indefinite block is near. EdJohnston (talk) 07:46, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Scholarlyarticles
FYI, I'm having a similar issue with the same user, although they are not as eloquent with me. But now I just saw that you have noticed it here. You're quick! Fnordware (talk) 05:30, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
I also notice that Scholarlyarticles seems to be putting Chuck Philips in other places. For example, the Biggie Smalls article frequently mentions that Chuck Philips wrote an article about something in the article text thanks to edits like this one. And then this link you mentioned refers to Chuck Philips as "my client." So it appears that Scholarlyarticles may actually be working for the subjects of articles he's editing. Fnordware (talk) 06:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Fnordware, the IP was talking about Jimmy Henchman, not Philips. I don't think Scholarlyarticles has any COI, just deep misunderstandings of several policies and guidelines. By the way, do you mind if I move this conversation to my talk page where it belongs? Lastly, note I mentioned her edit on your talk page here. --NeilN talk to me 07:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- (Done!) Gotcha, I mis-read the IP posting. But nevertheless, Scholarlyarticles does appear to be spreading the Chuck Phillips name around a lot, for whatever reason. I will admit that my biggest pet peeve is people who use Wikipedia to promote themselves. Fnordware (talk) 07:27, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Found some more Chick Philips additions in the Milli Vanilli and Tupac Shakur articles. In both cases it's not really necessary to mention which reporter is involved, but Scholarlyarticles really likes to squeeze it in there. Individually the edits are harmless enough, but I see a pattern emerging. Fnordware (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- And another. I'll bet that every Chuck Philips mention on Wikipedia is from this user. Fnordware (talk) 18:37, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Addition of heading in Subramanian Swamy page
Hi, my query is regarding is on addition of heading in the article Subramanian Swamy, "Views on homosexuality". I have searched on the internet and youtube and have found that his view on homosexuality had come only once as his personal tweet. He had never again expressed his views again in the public press and social media, etc like wise he had expressed on other topics such as Economic and foreign affairs, corruption, religious views,views on Gandhi-Nehru family, etc repeatedly.
My question is that is it right to include his view on the topic, when that view had been expressed only once through twitter only, and not through the electronic media directly. The case clearly lacks proper citation. Isn't it should be counted be as a trivial case and not be counted as a encyclopedic topic being included in wikipedia. This heading also appears a case of vandalism because it was reverted twice.
I have commented the same on the talk page, and had asked for views from other two editors on their talk pages, talk page1 and talk page2 who also had agreed to the same.
Why i am looping you for the discussion because on after leaving the comments on editors talk pages and Article's talk page, no further action has yet being taken. Kindly take proper action. Work2win (talk) 18:17, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Work2win. As you've discussed and no one has disagreed with you, the proper action would be to remove the text. Is there some reason why you can't perform this action? --NeilN talk to me 18:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Well i had wanted to build proper consensus before taking any necessary action so that it does not result or show in any form of vandalism, deletion, biases, addition of unencyclopedic information, etc. This consensus method i have learnt while visiting talk pages of topics especially of living people.
Well i am now proceeding with deletion of the heading in the article.Work2win (talk) 19:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
