Hallo HammerFilmFan,

I answered on theLibya's discussion Page. Anyway, thanks a lot for detecting two errors of mine! Cheers,Alex2006 (talk)14:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

I do not believe that the picture on Susan Atkins page titled "mug shot of Atkins taken after her arrest" is a picture of Susan Atkins.I believe that the picture is of a person who portrayed Susan in issue 20 of Pop Smear magazine. The article recreated the killings in a photo journalist stle and participants were played by Maynard Keenan as Charles Manson as well as Dick Manitoba,Wayne Kramer,Arthur Kane,Texas Terri,Jeff Dahl. I notice that you had similar feelings about the pic. Can you help me with the next step please.ThanksGarwain— Precedingunsigned comment added byGarwain (talk •contribs)18:43, 24 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

If you look at the tool bar above the edit window, click cite, then the dropdown box you'll find a template for news articles, it isn't just a weblink. Guidelines say "Citations for newspaper articles typically include::name of the newspaper in italics,date of publication, byline (author's name), if any, title of the article within quotation marks, city of publication, if not included in name of newspaper,page number(s) are optional. SeeWP:CTT andWikipedia:Referencing for beginners with citation templates. I think the main thing about the foreign language sources other than we should use English sources where possible is that they didn't seem to pass our RS criteria. I'd still prefer a more mainstream publication than the Washington Times.Dougweller (talk)15:01, 16 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Dougweller (talk)20:48, 16 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

TheWashington Post is one of the major papers of the United States, occupying a mindspace somewhat analogous toThe Guardian in the United Kingdom (albeit not so far to the political left). TheWashington Times is an obscure local paper, founded and owned bySun Myung Moon'sUnification Church (and whoever may be behind them), and with an editorial policy to the far-right even by U.S. standards. Do not confuse the two; and be very cautious about using anything from theTimes as a source. --Orange Mike |Talk14:03, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why would I ever confuse the two? I'm very aware of the standards of both papers. The 'front page' of the Washington Times is very mainstream news.HammerFilmFan (talk)15:50, 17 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Apparently the same user who was accused of archiving the conversations in the talk page, is the same one that just reverted your edition. As I read he was caught in several lies. It seems as you said that the conversation happened just a couple of months back. The dispute resolution managed the article as he wanted, mostly. I guess he tries to hide how he is in a severe conflict of interest ( Is that dispute a joke? as I read he is a trustee in the board of the Michael Servetus Institute). Can people archive a conversation that is not even 3 months old? In this case it is just biased. A clear try to hide, not protocol--SchuhammerJes (talk)13:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Apparently this conflict of interest was dismissed by a dispute. But still, that does not mean the conversation has to vanish, or should be archived. It just adds more intriguing and ominous weight to the COI discussions.--SchuhammerJes (talk)14:28, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

1. You need to create a User Page/Talk Page, since you are registered. 2. I don't have a dog in that fight, I am just correcting an inappropriate archiving.HammerFilmFan (talk)20:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, HammerFilmFan. I've restored the content you blanked from this talk page archive. Deleting talk page comments is allowed in only very limited circumstances. If you can explain which criterion covers your removal, I will remove the content that needs to go. If you blank, delete or alter talk page content, whether current or archived, without first discussing the matter you jeopardize your editing privilege. I will watchlist this page in the event you have any questions. RegardsTiderolls23:18, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I didn't "blank" anything - the other editor when archiving didn't leave a stub of the last section, which I've had other Admins admonish other users for. The purpose of archiving is so we don't have to scroll-scroll-scroll thru long-dead discussions and can get TP's organized better. The other editor archived a discussion only a couple of months old. I simply 'reduced' the archive to the point of July or so. I see many other editors were upset with him at the time for closing it out in that fashion - I don't have an opinion on the arguments between the editors, haven't edited the article - just noticed it on "On This Day," went to read it, checked out it's TP, and saw what had happened, and adjusted it. But there does appear to be some serious disagreement going on about that article (see above section ^). Can you give me a solid reason(s) why adjusting the archive to allow the most recent discussions, which are hardly very long (you want to see long active Talk Pages - see some of the Balkan articles!) and allows new readers to possibly join the discussion without having to bring forward an archive that basically is still 'active'? I don't believe the Archive Template was created to make things harder for users. Btw, as far as editing TP's - you do realize that violations of the TP rules allow ANY user to delete content that serves no purpose (vandalism that is totally off-topic, kids going on there and posting "Lisa loves Tommy," etc.) - so a blanket statement about that is not accurate. Heck, Jimbo Wales had that in one of his discussions. But that's another issue altogether.HammerFilmFan (talk)23:31, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I saw no "adjustment"; the content was deleted and was not placed back on the current page. While other editors may have objected to the archiving, the archiving took place 60 days ago and it would appear that those editors have not followed up on their objections. Ifyou have objections to the archiving your first course is to discuss the matter. Not only did you not discuss the situation, you deleted the post of the editor that approached you with discussion. When a discussion is archived it should not be altered; in those instances that require some change please be prepared to answer the good faith inquiries of other editors regarding your actions.Tiderolls23:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

WHOA! I just moved the last discussions to current Talk Page - three sections, I believe - if they are gone now,I didn't do it! I verified the page before I stopped messing with it. Ok, will discuss the matter in future, but was following what other Admins have said in the past. Shrugs.HammerFilmFan (talk)23:55, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I do see where you placed the content into the current talk page now; I missed that on my first check. I will be removing those discussions as they are archived.Tiderolls00:00, 29 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content totalk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as onUser talk:Kazuba#November 2012, you shouldsign your posts by typing fourtildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button  or  located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

It would not be the first time I have tried to talk some sense into him, but sadly I didn't get far.

I did that with valid reason. The deleted content is the academic garbage and that was just the small part of the junkyard. The article itself represents one sided view of the scientific community whose serbocroatistic blunderviews are obsolete, proved wrong and the time has run over such notions. I am not going to engage in any edit wars since it is pointless to fight against the moderator(s) whose been paid for the talibanic assault on this article. The article now is ordinary serbocroatistic onanism, rude ignoring of the reality, rude ignoring of Croatian science and Croatian speakers. Fortunately for me, in the meantime I was informed by my community about what encyclopedic violence was done here and warned about what might happen to me if I involve myself into editing and lose my time invain hopelessly trying to explain the basic things. I saw the talk page of the article Croatian language and the reverts been done on the article and I am 100% convinced that the expelled Croatian editors were right. The form of that article as it looks now was not formed with the editors' consensus, but by the rude misuse of the tools of an admin who was desysopped in the meantime and his gang. A decade long experience of mine from the forums tells me that there is a swarm of his sockpuppets and meatpuppets that is defending this article in all possible ways, reverting, sending warnings, creating false support to his view etc. The Wikipedia in English is rapidly losing its editors, with one of the highest rates of abandoning and it is obvious why.Rikovers (talk)22:50, 12 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure what happened, but I'm sorry that we started off this way. Looking over your editing history, I'm not seeing any prior experience with editing articles with health claims, so this could be the very first time you ever encountered aWP:MEDRS-related dispute. I see you've worked onWP:BLP-related articles, so you know that we have policies and guidelines that go beyondWP:V andWP:RS. MEDRS is similar to BLP in that it requires better quality sources than what's mentioned in V and RS. However, MEDRS is far more specific than BLP. If a MEDRS dispute is not resolved through normal editing and discussions on the article talk page, thenWP:RSN is the noticeboard to turn to for assistance, though talk pages for related WikiProjects likeWikiProject Medicine are often used as an intermediate step in dispute resolution.
