I should not have replaced bison with bisons, as "bison" is an accepted plural word for bison and I have only seen this recently.

Bison and bisons are both correct and this is confirmed in several dictionaries.

...to you and yours, from the Great White North!FWiW Bzuk (talk)03:32, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In response to the message you left on my talk page, I respectfully disagree. It is more important to avoid providing obviously incorrect information / misinformation, than it is to follow some "policy" on providing so-called references, which may, or may not, be scientifically correct, depending upon the age of the material in question. Therefore, I regard the failure to obtain consensus or to state a valid objective FACT that may support contradictory to my edit to be outright vandalism, where the challenger fails to obtain consensus. Especially, where the revisionist was clearly attempting to elicit a negative response. Mind you, this is my interpretation of policy, where policy appears to contradict itself at best, in my opinion.So, again, I reiterate the fact that I respectfully disagree with everything you have to say on the topic. That said, it is still clearly WRONGFUL to modify other people's edits without at least having brought any issues to their attention FIRST. (Thats called having basic RESPECT for others!) Therefore, this guy was clearly in the wrong, either way you want to look at it.108.201.29.108 (talk)01:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Æ-202. The most recent edits I saw didn't appear to be vandalism. That's mostly due to my inexperience with the subject matter. Has there been a long term effort to change the information in the article against consensus? Could you direct me to where the consensus was determined? There could be a case made for disruption if there has been a long term problem. Thanks for helping watch over the article; I'd be glad to help out where I'm able.

Hi there--I've never seen this page about bicycles let alone edited it, yet I have a note telling me my edit was reverted. I have a login, and no one has ever used this computer IP address except me, ever.

Hopefully that will alleviate any worry regarding being associated with the edit in question.

Appreciate your explanation. You gave a much better explanation than the other editor for why we should not use flags in the climate article.

UserDasallmächtigeJ[6] is stating the on Mad Max video game page that's it's both a prequel and a sequel to Fury Road[7], however the source links on the page don't support that claim.

• "A Mad Max game is coming, but it's not going to be related to any of the movies, because of Avalanche's radical position that movie tie-ins are pretty terrible."

• "A Mad Max game is in development, but don't call it a movie tie-in. Developer Avalanche Studios is making it clear that their upcoming game, based on the long-standing franchise, is not tied to any of the films, particularly the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road."[8]

• "The studio is very clear that this game is in no way associated with the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road movie starring Tom Hardy, that it is very much an original, standalone story, set in a standalone world."[9]

The official comic book doesn't show the events of the video game[10] and the Mad Max wiki doesn't use the events of the game on the character's page,"Do not put information from the video game. It is not canon.".[11]

DasallmächtigeJ is not only putting in his opinions on the page but links to opinions from people who didn't work on the game and had nothing to do with it.108.208.136.214 (talk)—Precedingundated comment added10:08, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I expanded the article with several sources on how the film and the game are connected. The user appears to be some sort of errate fan, his only excuse for removing my content is that it a.) doens't appear in a comic book (because obviously you put out a comic book with the exact same content as a game and of course they can't have two separate stories) and his assertion that b.) because the developers stated that it is not a frame-by-frame reproduction of the movie it of course cannot be a prequel. I tried to reason with him, but he simply reverted the edit and cleaned his talk page. I actually don't like doing this, but I will have to report him now and suggest to protect the page.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk)14:25, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• User DasallmächtigeJ is still not providing any real proof from the studio, the developer or from George Miller himself that would backup his claim that's it's connected to the film. The video game's story doesn't even fit Fury Road or any past Mad Max film. Mad had a baby boy, not a preteen girl, Glory in the game isn't the same from the movie and comic book (written by Miller). Max meets her and her mother differently, the car he has at the end of the game is not the same as the one seen at the beginning of Fury Rad. Like I said, user DasallmächtigeJ is just using a review's opinion and speculation, that's not how wikipedia articles work. The way he's editing the page, it doesn't make any sense, it's not connected the film... and yet... it somewhat is...108.208.136.214 (talk)—Precedingundated comment added09:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Last year you blockedUser:Dino nam for edit warring. That I know of, this user was involved in a protracted dispute over atBattle of Ia Drang withUser:Tnguyen4321. That user is now subject to a restriction on editing the article. Since October last year, new userSpecial:Contributions/Day_to_day has been sporadically editing the article with what looks to me like the same agenda as Dino nam. Day to day has only ever edited this article. I don't actually necessarily disagree with this person's edits, but if he is a sock of banned user Dino nam, then in all fairness they should not be allowed to stand. I don't know how to go about confirming these suspicions. Could you advise what I should do, please? Thanks.Factotem (talk)17:25, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,Factotem, thanks for your message. I agree that the circumstances are suspicious but I have not seen enough behavioral similarities to convince myself of the possibility that the two accounts are operated by the same individual. I also agree thatTnguyen4321 should not be penalized by their commitment to stay away from the article. I would offer this option: gather some diffs that demonstrate your concern and file a report atWikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. The procedure is relatively easy to execute.

I posted a discography that I copied in its entirety from the Italian wiki page...which I carefully cleaned up and translated into English. So, congrats on improving this pathetic page for Rise Stevens? No, of course not. Instead some fool editor shows up and decides to randomly delete parts of it, no explanation given other than "unsourced" (as if I have to prove to his perfect satisfaction - it's always a he - that every one of these widely known recordings actually exist). No discussion, certainly no investigation of the actual facts on his part, just vandalism to prove he has the power to delete whatever the heck he wants.

And you show up once I restore it and declare, absent any evidence, that I am a sockpuppet - rather than the obvious fucking explanation that my ISP assigns new IPs every time I log on.

Is there an ounce of sense in any of you puffed up Wikipedia editors? Any sense at all in there? Yikes, every time I deal with one of you types I decide I must be the fool for thinking that any of you can actually be reasoned with.

I realize I'm being trolled but on the off chance you really do give a damn, go to the article talk page and attempt to discover what the consensus for your changes may be.Tiderolls19:32, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no discussion, neither initiated by you nor by the fool who deleted my posting, nor by an earlier fool who waded in a week or two ago (using a bot) and deleted my additions arbitrarily. It's just one self-important editor after another deleting stuff which is either borrowed in its fucking entirety from another language version of wikipedia, or basic consensus among people who know anything about the opera singer.

And wtf constitutes "trolling", apart from the fact that I have rightly criticized your arrogant assertion of power? Do trolls improve wikipedia pages by adding needed fucking content? Jesus H. Christ you people are pathetic.

Hello, Tiderolls! I would like to apologize to you and the wikipedia community in advance for not providing you with an explanation as to why I removed the text that you had highlighted. The reason being is that the underline portion that was deleted did not sufficiently match the definition of a nuclear family, which is definitively considered to be a two parent household, composed of a man and a woman, with children. What was previously there was a misconstrued, minsinterpreted version of the term that doesn't match with the definition that I provided above and is considered to be the correct definition. I apologize for the inconvenience that this brought upon you, and I hope that this had given you clarity to the subject matter. Along with this, I'd like to thank you for keeping me on track because I acknowledge that not providing a reason for editing was very negligent of me. I will take your advice for the future when I edit (add or remove) content from the website.

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Tide rolls, Early inA Child's Christmas in Wales the youngDylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.MarnetteD|Talk22:46, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thought four tildes were enough to locate an editor. Should I usehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Quaerens-veritatem ? Perhaps (talk) would be better. Any suggestions welcome Tide.

I appreciate your efforts at achieving excellence at Wikipedia, but your admonishment to me that I should "exercise restraint" in my summaries is off base and unnecessary.

In summarizing my edits, I would rather err on the side of diligence than negligence as instructed by Wikipedia. I don't assume people have prior knowledge in understanding my edits so I make an effort to be clear, also as instructed by Wikipedia. In writing edit summaries, I am aware that some of the people who might read my summaries are either quite tied to the subject and sensitive to edits or beginners who are learning how and why edits are made.

Wikipedia encourages editors to be thorough in their summaries, recommending restraint only as it pertains to not "...writing essays about 'the truth' or longwinding arguments with fellow editors."

Finally, in the scheme of things, how do my thorough summariespossibly impact you or other Wikipedia editors? Surely, there are far more important ways to spend your time, energy and skill to improve Wikipedia.

Best wishes in your continued contributions to Wikipedia.MarydaleEd (talk)00:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My comments are correct and it is counterproductive to revert the talk page to the previous revision. When incorrect material is the subject of lengthy discussion that is five years old, it is an impediment to readers. No one will bother to sort through all the text that I deleted, nor should they have to. I see from the talk page guidelines that there is an acceptable way to clean up pages so I will look into that. THX.

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they arerequired to "have strong passwords andfollow appropriate personal security practices." We haveupdated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular,two-factor authentication remains anoptional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

What copyrighted content am I supposed to have infringed on?

HiTide, from my understanding, you have rollback my edit along with others in TheStarHub TV page. May I know the exact reason why? I get that the removal of the channels from that page would easily fall under theWP:NOTDIR, but I don’t entirely get the reasoning behind the removal of the entire set top boxes models section and the smart card part. I understand that for the set top box model, the pricing part could be considerable asWP:NOTPROMO, but I feel that the other parts of the set top box section and the smart card part would bring encyclopedic info directly related to how StarHub TV works, similar to, but not exactly, like, for example,Mac Mini page, where information about the tech specs of each model is listed clearly.

Hi Tide Rolls - I see you have recently been following some of the Bidhan Singh socks, and you semi-protectedIndian order of precedence earlier today.
As can be seen atUser:Arjayay/B S, the sock only very rarely uses the same IP for more than 24 hours, and has never gone back to an earlier IP, making blocking the IPs pointless, whilst their ranges seem too large for range-blocks?
I have previously asked for several pages to be protected: the first four were protected, for a month, but I requested protection of their replacement pages too soon, and was told there had not been enough disruption.
I wonder if you are willing to semi all the recent targets that are not currently protected? These are:-

• List of current heads of state and government - 17 April - 19 April
• Lists of state leaders by year - 30 April - 09 May
• List of prime ministers of India - 17 May - to date
• List of prime ministers of India by previous experience - 17 May - to date
• List of prime ministers of India by longevity - 17 May - 22 May - protected 22 - 24 May so now lapsed
• List of national governments - 18 May - to date
• List of Prime Ministers of India by education - 23 May - to date

Of course, the problem with protecting the articles is that he will just choose new targets, making it more difficult to clean up after him - any thoughts? -Arjayay (talk)16:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi@Arjayay:, of course I will take a look at these. At the very least I will add them to my watch list. If the individual chooses to move to other articles someone will notice and we'll pick up the pieces then. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.Tiderolls17:34, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tide rolls
Thanks for blocking todays Bidhan Singh IP atList of state leaders in 2017. As you may know, I try to log all the IPs used atUser:Arjayay/B S
The range of IPs being used has recently reduced possibly as a result of Covid 19. I put the latest set of 106.207.**.*** IPs (listed on the edit page in hidden text)intoa range-calc tool and it returned

IPv4 Range: 106.207.0.0/17

Size: 32768

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. Achange to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
[[User:Tide rolls|'''<span>Tide</span>''']][[User talk:Tide rolls|'''<span>rolls'''</span>]]

Fixed signature:
[[User:Tide rolls|'''<span>Tide</span>''']][[User talk:Tide rolls|'''<span>rolls</span>''']]

More information is available atWikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message atWikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. –Jonesey95 (talk)00:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear,

I read your message. Thank you very much. I am really frustrated with decision of Admins that judged me unfairly. I really want appreciate your good will to help me, but I know that nothing is going revert my ban decision. I am very emotional person and you can't believe that decision here affected me in real life. Last two days I am aggressive because injustice I faced, specially non of admins even didn't read my defence and comment on it. Hence, I decided to continue do things that don't not frustrates me, the start is just to vanish my account from wikipedia in order never come back.Mirhasanov (talk)18:27, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mirhasanov: But you are not being judged, youractions are being judged. Plainly, we do not know you. All we have to go on is your actions here. When one violates a topic ban there are a few different possibilities. The easiest to overcome is misunderstanding the terms. If the problem is misunderstanding the cure is to listen to those who know. If one persists in forging ahead in the face of advice that will surely help, then how are we to assist? The decision to stay or go is entirely yours but I submit that your leaving actually helps nothing. Taking the advice of editors that have experience, learning to operate within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines is the way forward. Good luck in whatever choice you make.Tiderolls18:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• You are really emotionally intelligent person. I am very glad to see admin like you who tries to understand other side. I tried to defence my actions in ANI and AN. I spend my 1 day to proof Admins that I am not interested to disturb the topic. I even explained them that I don't have capability to issue a good article, all I can do is fact checking and making sure that references are proper, which I tried to do. However, in the end I was reported by people who I challenge and eventually got blocked. Admins even didn't explained me which rule I did break. The admin who blocked me first time stated that I don't cross any redline but, somehow again the decision is to block me. I could at least have warning by admin about my action, which would motivate me going back to him and asking his help to make sure I don't act aggressive, destructive or partisan. However, none of this happened even during independent review of my case. I felt no one cares what I write to defend myself. Instead I received below provocative comment that really hurted my believe to admin board.

No. My question was clear and concise, and your obfuscatory answer I take as being, essentially, a "No". Therefore, I stand by my endorsement of an AA2 topic ban, and the block that has been imposed on you, and would also support an indef block or a site ban. I don't think we need or want you here, you should be posting to some ultra-partisan anti-Armenian blog. Beyond My Ken (talk)

In conclusion I again asked them to explain which Wikipedia rule I went again to receive block. I asked them to show evidences like I did to defend myself but, I received only silence. However, when I raised case against user who really violates wikipedia rules, I started get bombarded by admins, which before preferred not to answer me.

I hope I was able to explain my frustration. Thank you really very much for listening me. Now I feel better.Mirhasanov (talk)18:56, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Regardingthis change did you intend to do more than just insert a comma? The preceding edit indeed did make a bunch of the types of edits you mentioned in the ES.DMacks (talk)11:42, 13 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,DMacks. Looking at the revision history I cannot understand how the result occurred. My intention was to restore the previous version. I'm reluctant to address the issue not knowing how the error occurred. If you feel that the edit should be addressed, please do. Thanks for bringing this to my attention; I'll have to be more attentive going forward.Tiderolls00:40, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Tide rolls. I'm reaching out because I noticed you've reverted disruptive edits atAstro (television). Recently a new user (without leaving an edit summary) has been inserting large detailed current company channel lineups, which have been found to violateWP:NOTDIR. I reverted the edits, and literally while writinga message on the user's talk page they were reinserted. If you could please take a look, that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks. --Wikipedical (talk)17:49, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tide rolls,Thank you for your comments on my talk page.

@HARDACAndroid:, Hi. You might do better by leaving a neutrally wording message atWikipedia talk:WikiProject Children's literature. Trivia is meant to be avoided but there isn't a prohibition, strictly speaking. You will need to build a consensus for your version of the article and then any editor that repeatedly edits against that consensus is open to blocking to stop the disruption.Tiderolls17:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

hi, I think there is a misunderstanding. I don't know who I've been compared to but I'm not a vandal. the changes I made on theTIM Group page have references, so I don't see why they have been canceled and the page protected. --151.24.127.102 (talk)11:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No misunderstanding. You are a block evading sock. Your changes will not be allowed to stay until an editor in good standing wishes to take responsibility for them. You may as well discontinue your campaign. Alternately, you could seek unblock from your original account.Tiderolls11:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an adminwill still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working onbetter tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you canread more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you cansubscribe tothe weekly technical newsletter.

We havetwo suggested ways this identity could work.We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You canlet us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Hello Tide rolls, I hope you are well. I saw your edit onLittleBe the other day, and thanked you after you explained about programme listings being contrary to the manual of style back in December. However, it got me thinking. I noticed that other articles about tv channels such asITV2 all have programme listings. I was wondering why we cannot have one for littleBe or if it’s a case of all the others should not be having one either. I read about Wikipedia not being a place for tv guides, although when other articles have notable programming etc, it may be in the interest of our readers to have notable programming. What are your thoughts on this?Blanchey (talk)11:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi,@Blanchey: I think the reason some articles have lists and some don't depends on who's watching them. I encourage editors to follow the guidelines for the articles I watch, but it's not a crusade for me. For some of these articles there has been an individual, or individuals, that insist on disrupting the articles. One of the ways they accomplish this is by introducing bloated programming lists and adding/subtracting entries ad nauseum. At this point the action becomes one of willful disruption rather than a good faith misinterpretation of the project's guidelines. Another aspect for consideration can be found atWP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Thanks for coming here to discuss the subject. Please let me know if you have more concerns.Tiderolls12:37, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. Following your response, I have also considered whether kids programmes are really notable enough to be featured in a Wikipedia article. Also, someone seems to keep re adding it, possibly an ip user and they are adding erroneous links and not citing sources. I think that the page may need to be protected from anonymous users temporarily.Blanchey (talk)13:10, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe a note should be added to the source explaining why we don’t add an entire list of programmes.Blanchey (talk)13:16, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Exactly, notability is the crux of the matter. Leaving an edit notice is a good idea, although I don't think it will dissuade folks with disruption as a goal. As for protection, it's my preference to wait a bit before pulling the trigger. Keep in mind that you can always visitWikipedia:Requests for page protection if I'm not around or you feel the protection is essential.Tiderolls13:18, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Hello again, hope you are well. Just a follow up from yesterday, I’ve now had to request the page protected because I tried to assume good faith by adding a note, however, Ip users continued to edit and even removed the template which just shows that they know exactly what they’re doing at that it’s vandalism. I also wanted to point out, and you are probably already aware of this, but if not, there seems to be a big issue with your talk page. When I am using mobile browser and click on ‘talk’, for some reason, it directs me tothis discussion from 2018. I don’t know why it does this, maybe there’s some sort of redirect somewhere on this page or maybe a technical fault. I still thought I’d let you know.

That was close. It was my fault: I forgot to wear the proper shirt this morning.

If you know the campus, you can imagine how overwhelming it was, that enormous growth in a decade and a half.

Add the allergic reaction information back in - I cited and referenced it and maybe you should watch the podcast as referenced before removing information and noting it to be not reliable when you clearly just aren’t a fan.Girlgang (talk)06:10, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi,@Girlgang: I linked a Wikipedia policy page in my edit summary, but you may have missed it. Check outWikipedia:Reliable sources. If you use the standards that that policy describes, you will see how the sources you cited do not meet Wikipedia's definition for "reliable". Hope that explains things. Let me know if you have further concerns.Tiderolls13:11, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wanted to know why you reverted my edits onWind Tre, since it's the same company (3 Italy). Thank you.2002:9719:524:0:9132:2252:FC1:968B (talk)17:52, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As you have already noticed the annual sock-fest is upon us (and I don't mean stockings for Santa).

Please do not introducelinks in actual articles todraft articles, as you did toDisney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel). Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to theManual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. -112.200.12.134 (talk)12:20, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know there is an ever changing IP that vandalises climate sections. In some cases lieRovaniemi they make the snow green. In other cases likeFukushima they remove the green humidity orall the green. In watherboxes for colder countries the precipitation is usually green to avoid a sea of blue as in that last link.
