Silvana Gallardo

I actually do not understand how wikipedia works, but what exactly is the idea to repeated undo my edits regarding the passing of Silvana Gallardo, her untimely passing being nearly a full month ago, and readily verifiable? It is as if you wish to preserve the inaccuracy of the page. 71.28.193.209 (talk) 05:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

• Hi. Sorry for the inconvenience. But can you please show me a verifiable link that shows what you claim? Kind regards. Wifione 04:50, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

My Request For Rollback

My edit was part of the rule on wikipedia about not writing about yourself. And They Had A Shared Account — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willdude 132 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

• Will, thanks for your message. Unfortunately, what you reverted was not close to vandalism. It was a COI edit. Please read up our policy on vandalism, especially the sub-sections on what is and what is not vandalism. Your request for rollback has been rejected by another administrator, due to your lack of understanding of vandalism. Please revert a few clear vandal edits and reapply after a few weeks. You could write directly to me too. Thanks. Wifione 13:13, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Erh?

Why exactly did you protect Solar cycle, since you've blocked both WMC and the IP? We now are in the position where nothing can be done to correct the situation. Which is very simple really. Not even inserting the citation that the IP was requesting. And, yes i know WP:WRONGVERSION, but protecting pages shouldn't be done unless there is a strong chance of an edit-war erupting again - and quite frankly i can't see how that would be the case. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 22:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Kim, thanks for the note. I understand. I'll wait for a day to see how discussions are proceeding on the talk page before considering unprotecting the page. I'll surely have no issues in an extremely early unprotect once I see discussions starting off. Thanks. Wifione 22:37, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
  • There is a very simple solution to the editwar. The IP was disruption to make a point, he wanted an updated citation for one word, and reverted back to a version that is incorrect - he admits this in both edit-comments and on the talk page. Since the editor is now blocked, i was going to insert the (quite frankly silly citation, since there is already a citation for the rest).. I can of course ask for a protected edit via talk page, but i can't see why this is needed. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 22:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
    • Do please take it to the talk page of the article. I'll wait and watch the issue. You could use the protected edit template. My apologies for not acting on your request. Wifione 22:46, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

I already did - i'm awaiting if anyone objects to the insertion of the citation, to see if i can use the protected edit template. --Kim D. Petersen (talk) 22:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Blocking for "very"

Removing the leech "very" was trivial Strunk-and-Whitening rather than "edit warring". Your tone was obnoxious, also.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:05, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

• My apologies if it sounded obnoxious. Wasn't intended Kiefer. Wifione 23:17, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  I trust that you apologize for the tone, to WMC. Would you please review the "very" edit, also. It doesn't strike me as edit warring....

  I will very readily grant that WMC's 3 reverts are very much at the very border of the 3RR "line in the sand". However, removing "very" is very often a very good idea....

  This is not a good time, in terms of enjoying my benevolence, to be blocking article writers. Be well!

   Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:25, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  I understand. Let me leave an added note on WMC's talk page. At the same time, I'll be more than in agreement to remove the block once WMC recognizes the issue. Thanks. Wifione 23:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  I removed my snide remark and struck through another. Sorry, and thanks for overlooking it/them.

  WMC understands the issue, of course. Forcing him to apologize when he has not technically violated the 3RR rule that you cited in your block---this is not a prudent demand, although I sympathize with your wish to avoid future incidents.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:34, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  Actually - and I don't know if you'll believe me (and please don't take this as a sarcastic comment) - it's always very nice to see you around. I appreciate your involvement and presence around the project. If there's anything you might wish assistance in from me, do feel free to ask. Kind regards. Wifione 23:38, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

  Forgiving my wrath makes you a rare and generous Wikipedian. Sincerely,  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 23:41, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Page deleted?

Hi, you recently deleted a page I've been contributing to (http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Craig_Davies_%28entrepreneur,_racing_driver%29&action=edit&redlink=1). I made some initial changes that were suggested, however the page is now gone. Can ypu please advise to how I can get the page approved. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattb84 (talk • contribs) 13:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

• I have copied the contents to a sub page on your user page. Please read up on BIO, BLP, Verfiability, NPOV, NOR before resubmitting the article. Any BLP that does not have reliable sources to verify the notability claims cannot be kept on Misplaced Pages. Write to me for any help while improving the article. Thanks.

Template:History of Georgia

Hi, see history of this template and contribution of this user, please. Thanks. Best regards--MIKHEIL (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

• Basically it's an edit war going on. I don't have any particular preference for either your version or the other editor's version; but would like to inform you to go through 3RR. Anyway, I've protected the page for a month with your version as it was the long standing version. Write back for any further help. Wifione 06:04, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
  • Thank you very much! --MIKHEIL (talk) 07:27, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Feedback

1) I am really worried that you, an administrator, still get confused between WP:RELIABLESOURCES and WP:NPOV, the core content policies of Misplaced Pages. You accused me for WP:COI and put up a COI tag on the article saying that the article has NPOV issues and that you wanted to attract NPOV experts' attention. All the concerns that you have listed here are issues regarding reliable sources, but you have named the section's heading as NPOV issues (FYI, I have changed the section heading). And you did all these without even reading the article fully. 2) You have described me as "institute's student editor" here. I am not editing the IIM Lucknow article on the behalf of my institute. The institute has not asked me to do so and the institute does not even know that I am editing the article (only some of my close friends know about it). I am doing it out of my own interest. I must not be treated differently just because I study there. First of all, I am a Wikipedian. As of now, I have contributed 1714 edits in Misplaced Pages in 667 unique articles within 2 months of joining Misplaced Pages (Out of the 1714 edits, only 131 edits are on the IIM Lucknow article). I am a regular RC patroller (India articles) and I have AWB rights too. Please avoid judging a person or article without thorough examination (You must be knowing more than me about the tools available in Misplaced Pages to examine a person or article). 3) I really had an unpleasant experience in dealing this issue with you for the above mentioned reasons. I controlled my nerves every time I read your reply and I took extreme caution to ensure that the stress does not reflect in my interaction with you. I deliberately used polite and kind language to calm you down. I apologize if I had caused you any inconvenience or unpleasant experience during these interactions (including this feedback). --Anbu121 (talk me) 12:50, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Anbu. Firstly, thanks for your message. Don't take what I write here as being against you. And do remember, my intention is to assist you rather than antagonize you. Now to the issue. As a student of IIM Lucknow, you are editing the IIM Lucknow article. That does make you an IIM student editing the article. I've assumed quite some good faith and will continue to do so because of your self-revelation, which is quite honest and I have to commend you for that. Even before your reply here, I hope you noticed that I removed the COI tag on the institutional article because you said it was embarrassing you personally as your friends were viewing the article. In the edit summary, I had to leave a message justifying the removal, where I have mentioned you are an IIM student editing the article. If the words hurt you, I apologize to you. Secondly, at no moment are you being treated differently for being a student of IIM Lucknow - you are being encouraged to come up to the same standards that we demand of other editors. NPOV issues can exist because of synthesis being committed through reliable sources, which exactly is my point. And as per policy, you should not change another editor's comments - therefore, technically I should be changing the heading of that section back on the talk page. But I won't for your benefit. Look, I really want you to feel at ease editing the article and don't want you to feel anything to the contrary. Please do ask me for any assistance whenever you want - and I really mean it.

User:Vozce

Hi, see contribution of this user, please. This is typical vandal. He Continues vandalism in the articles about history of Georgia, he removes templates, any caution is unsuccessful. Think that only way out of a situation is bloking this user. Thanks. --MIKHEIL (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Mikheil. The only personal attack that the editor committed was four days back. Since then, there are only edit disputes going on and no vandalism. Read our policy notes on vandalism to understand what is and what is not vandalism. This is not to say that the editor cannot be warned, but blocking the editor right now is not done. Write to me if the issue escalates or for any other assistance. Wifione 05:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Amity

Please refer to UGC site, They have mentioned the name of universities those were approved by them. Amity university is listed in one of them under the section Uttar pradesh and all the sentences that you have written in page are weaknesses that UGC commitee pointed out and amity is working on it. Please don'y show bad side of my university. And don't play with my juniors and fellow mates future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phalgunit (talk • contribs) 10:59, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

• I found this source, which confirms that Amity University Rajasthan is being recommended for recognition. It doesn't talk about any other location. I'll include this link in the article with relevant information. If you have a source that confirms a similar recognition for Amity University in Haryana, please do mention here or add in the article. Do also point out if I'm missing something as I've not been able to find any link confirming recognition for Amity University Haryana. Thanks. Wifione 14:38, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

RFA

Many thanks for your kind words! Regards, GiantSnowman 16:44, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

and pleased to see they led to a successful conclusion DGG ( talk ) 19:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

DGG, not without your co-nom. The amount of respect you have amongst the community here was quite clear in some of the comments. Complementing that, GiantSnowman on his own too could have made it, given the amount of work he had put in in the last year. So I lay very feeble claim out here to the RFA's success :) But your messages are always highly appreciated by me. Thanks for the words. Wifione 19:43, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Bhardwaj

would you also revert the garbage the ips have added.everything is unsourced.Pernoctator (talk) 20:18, 5 February 2012 (UTC) thank you.Pernoctator (talk) 20:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

• Hi Pernoctator. Could you also please go through Bharadwaja and kill the irrelevant stuff? I'll then protect it in a few hours. Wifione 20:26, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

done.Pernoctator (talk) 20:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much. I'm watching it and will protect it if any similar stuff occurs. Thanks again. Wifione 14:07, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey, should we just redirect the earlier article to this one? Wifione 14:14, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

i don't think that would be needed.one article is about a person called bharadwaja (an ancient hindu sage who appears in all epics).the other is about a surname which is used by people who claim to be his descendants.i think we should let them be separate atleast for the moment.Pernoctator (talk) 14:23, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Perfect. Thanks for the reply. See you around. Wifione 14:25, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
