Hi

[edit]

Hi Bobdog54,

Thank you for your message.

I did not remove some of the old references because the footnotes are not necessarily the problem. The data in the info box must have been changed at some point by a user who has made up population figures. Consequently the data does not conform to what is actually written in the sources. In order to make things more clear, I have created a sandbox (User:O.celebi/sandbox) and have quoted all the sources that I have used in the footnotes.

Although I have tried to discuss the problems in the current version of the article (inTalk:Turkish people), there has been no development for almost a month. It seems that several users have intentionally lowered the population estimates and are maintaining this together. I would appreciate it if you have a look at both the current version of the article and my sandbox and let me know what you think.

Kind regards,O.celebi (talk)10:40, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the details. I will take a look as soon as possible.Bobdog54 (talk)13:35, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WISA

[edit]

You are far too pleasant to be on WP! Hope my reply answers your query.Protozoon (talk)22:56, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind words. I know how it feels to work on an edit and have someone stomp all over it giving the sense it is their page and how dare anyone tamper with it! Sometimes I forge onward and sometimes I give up. Do you do anything about current affairs? I am having a dilemma about a deleted paragraph in the article about RAW. I don't have the link handy because I am doing two things at the same time right now. Someone deleted an entry about the Bangladeshi that theoretically worked for RAW for 6 years. They said that there was incorrect information in the entry. I put it back with a polite note asking if they had a citation for removing an entry that was backed up by multiple references. The reply was that it was wrong and that was that. I have backed off because I don't want to get involved in an edit war and I am not absolutely certain of procedure in a case like this. I reached out to people on the Espionage task force but have not received an answer.

If this is not in your area of interest, I certainly understand. Again, you are so kind.Bobdog54 (talk)23:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re:2001 FA Charity Shield

[edit]

I'm sorry if you thought I was biting you. All I said was your edit made things worse, which it did. That's not an attack on you, just a statement that your attempt to correct the article's spelling and grammar was unnecessary. –PeeJay20:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
