Orphaned non-free media (Image:Donuts.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Donuts.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:49, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Username Discussion

Hello, Terrorist96. Concerns have been raised that your username may be incompatible with policy. You can contribute to the discussion about it at the page for requests for comment on usernames. Alternatively, if you agree that your username may be problematic and are willing to change it, it is possible for you to keep your present contributions history under a new name.

Liberland is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBMAC

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Balkans, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

The alleged micronation of Liberland is located on territory being disputed between Croatia and Serbia. It is clearly in the Balkans so it falls under WP:ARBMAC. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:46, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Request denied

[1] I'm not going to unblock your account. I agree with the administrator which has blocked you - that username was unacceptable. --Bonč (talk) 00:02, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

@Bonč:, okay that's fine. I never used the Croatian Wikipedia before so I don't really care. I'm more confused as to why you care about my username, notwithstanding its declaration of being acceptable. No other language has blocked me, only Croatia, and this account is over 8 years old. And FYI, you should know that as an admin, but it's customary to conduct a RfC about the username in question (like this) before taking unilateral action to block it indefinitely. You know, like a fair trial, not iron fisted dictatorship. But whatever makes you feel better. :) Terrorist96 (talk) 02:45, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Use of revert

How is [2] a valid revert? I linked a term that I had restored to show that it is the term that is normally used. That's clearly not vandalism. If we don't need the link then just remove it, but don't revert it without an explanation. Meters (talk) 18:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

  • We don't use the wikilinks for the summary table for all other 49 states. This is for consistency. Terrorist96 (talk) 19:26, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
That's fine, just put that in the edit summary when making the change. Reverting a good faith edit such as that is the same as calling it vandalism, and is a misuse of the revert button. Don't so that or you may lose your revert privilege. Meters (talk) 19:31, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Stand-your-ground law, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - MrX 19:26, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Please read the WP:OR policy

WP:OR does not allow an editor to read some bare statistics and then draw a conclusion like "This does not prove that "stand your ground" led to a lower violent crime rate, however, it also does not show "stand your ground" to cause an increase in violent crime rate either.". Please read the policy, ask questions, and use the article talk page. Please do not add your own analysis, no matter how certain you are that it is true.- MrX 19:48, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Request regarding use of the "minor edit" tag

Just a gentle reminder that the "minor edit" tag is not supposed to be used unless "only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content." Anything that changes content is not a minor edit.

Reminder is made because of some edits made to the Constitutional carry page. (The rearrangement of the New Hampshire section was fine, but content was also changed in the Missouri section on the last edit, making it non-minor.)

Gun law state maps

Greetings, Terrorist96. You're right, that Alaska map has less consistency with the other maps, but I still think it's way preferable for the article, because of how it shows where Alaska is in relation to the continental United States. And the same for the Hawaii map, let's put that one back too please. I also preferred the previous map for Rhode Island, though of the three I have the least strong opinion about that one. Mudwater (Talk) 00:01, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

I reverted the Hawaii one, but I think the Rhode Island one better identifies RI on the map than the previous one (zoomed in outline vs just a circle), so I left that one.Terrorist96 (talk) 00:34, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks! Mudwater (Talk) 00:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Otherstuff in content discussions

Your recent editing history at Khan Shaykhun chemical attack shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.
You broke the 1RR here: 1, 2. Focus on the talk page, please. VQuakr (talk) 02:39, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

I didn't revert more than one time. Don't know what you're talking about....Terrorist96 (talk) 02:41, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
I provided diffs. VQuakr (talk) 02:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Those are unrelated and don't constitute an "edit war".Terrorist96 (talk) 02:43, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Please review the policy linked in the warning above. A "revert" is an edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes other editors' actions. Whether they are related or not is irrelevant. VQuakr (talk) 02:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
I will note, though that I also just reviewed what I wrote here and self-reverted my own 1RR violation on the article. VQuakr (talk) 02:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Lmao! You're alright. :) Terrorist96 (talk) 02:55, 19 April 2017 (UTC)


Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

I'll just reiterate what VQuakr said above. That was a 1RR violation, and you should try to avoid making another. ~ Rob13Talk 03:40, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
  • While we're on the topic, this is not a 1R violation, but this kind of unexplained revert is just as disruptive, since your drive-by revert places a good-faith editor in an impossible spot given the 1R restrictions on the article. I note also that you couldn't be bothered to explain on the talk page. User:BU Rob13, I don't know how you feel about this kind of stuff, but I do not look kindly on it. Please note the possibility of sanction. Drmies (talk) 16:22, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
    • I'm not quite as harsh as Drmies on this topic. (If we frown upon reverts that make someone else break restrictions if they want to revert again, that functionally places the second editor at a 0RR restriction. Does that mean the first editor shouldn't revert to avoid placing the second editor at their 0RR restriction? Meh.) I am concerned by the lack of discussion, though. Consider this a friendly nudge toward discussing each of your reverts on the relevant article's talk page. If a pattern of undiscussed reverts develops, the friendly nudge is likely to become a slightly-less-friendly restriction placed via discretionary sanctions. ~ Rob13Talk 16:46, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
      • Rob, it's that complete lack of discussion that makes this a disruptive edit. A good-faith revert, with an explanation, that's different. This one, for all I know it's drive-by vandalism, or specifically intended to get someone in trouble, baiting them to revert.Drmies (talk) 16:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
I was reverting an unexplained removal of content. I didn't think I needed an explanation for reverting vandalism. Plus, I used TW's Vandalism revert, which doesn't allow for explaining the revert, since it's undoing vandalism, which should be obvious. The editor that removed the content failed to discuss why they wanted to remove it, so I restored the article to the previous version. Funny how me restoring the article counts as vandalism. And note that he's in trouble for his edits here, one of which includes the deletion that he made, which I undid.Terrorist96 (talk) 18:17, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
He's not "in trouble". A report has been made. If anything, it appears the editor who filed it is likely to get blow-back from what I can see. A long-term editor's removal of content is not "vandalism". If you're confused about the removal, ask the editor. Discuss it. Reverting doesn't achieve much. ~ Rob13Talk 18:29, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
He's been around since 2006. I've been around since 2007. We're both "long-term editors". Next time I'll just revert with a note saying "Reverted unexplained removal of content." Would that be sufficient? I thought it was obvious. Sorry.Terrorist96 (talk) 18:34, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
What's the rationale behind the revert? If it's "I'm going to assume any unexplained removal of content by an experienced long-term editor is vandalism", then no, that is not sufficient. The reason we revert unexplained removal of content by new editors or IP editors is because it's very likely to be vandalism. That is not the case when dealing with experienced editors. If you object to the content removed on its merits, say so. If you don't, a blanket revert is not helpful. ~ Rob13Talk 18:38, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
The rationale is that it's an unexplained and without consensus removal of content from the article. That content wasn't added recently that he decided to remove for no consensus for its inclusion. It had been there this whole time. Further note that he violated 1RR three minutes later. And he removed this section which was based on mediation.Terrorist96 (talk) 18:47, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Indeed, Volunteer Marek did violate 1RR yesterday (1, 2). I'm surprised this is not featured prominently at the AN report about him. El_C 21:37, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

This is a friendly reminder to involved parties that there is a current Dispute Resolution Noticeboard case still awaiting comments and replies.

1RR vio (kinda, sorta, whatever)

Hey. This and this are technically a 1RR violation. The second revert is so obviously beneficial that I can't find it in myself to chide you much. Consider this more of heads-up just to be a bit more careful. Pinging Volunteer Marek to self-revert the tag here would have been better. I'm sure he would have done so since the issue he pointed out was resolved. ~ Rob13Talk 21:25, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I wouldn't count that as a revert, they're fine on that.Volunteer Marek (talk) 21:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't realize it was being updated since first posted. For any such map constantly subject to change, wouldn't it be useful to add "as of [date]" to the caption at the same time the map is changed, so readers wouldn't wonder about it? Milkunderwood (talk) 05:18, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! The problem with that is that anytime it is updated the person updating would have to remember to update the caption on every page that the map is embedded in (in this case it's just one page). The better solution is for the user to check the revision history; why duplicate an already present solution? However, if a map is clearly out-of-date and not actively being updated, then adding such a notice would be warranted, in my opinion. But since this map is being maintained, it's reasonable to assume it is up-to-date.Terrorist96 (talk) 05:30, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

SWEDHR report cited by Syrian ambassador in UNSC

Hi, Terrorist96. I saw your important contributions in the Khan Sheikhoun page. The organization Swedish Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR) claims in the new published "Statement on deletion attempts in Wikipedia articles on SWEDHR and its representatives"[3], that the Syrian ambassador mentioned a SWEDHR report (that analyzed a couple of White Helmets propaganda videos), in the UNSC session of April 12, which debated the alleged attack. Has this been mentioned in the discussion? Brgds, Inkerifi (talk) 02:32, 12 May 2017 (UTC)

Black supremacy not racism?

What went on at Black supremacy and Template:Racism topics? Administrator Malik Shabazz (!) reverted you when you added the template to the article and any link to it from that template because "no sources" (!) So "White supremacy" is racism (no sources needed there) but "Black supremacy" is not. I'm trying to understand if this is just the hilarious yet tiresome "there is no such thing as Black racism/Blacks can not be racists" I've heard a million times (maybe you have too) in yet another guise or if there is something else? Just trying to understand how things work around here. Thanks. Cheers, Basemetal 00:19, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Basically, the user claims there's no reliable source for saying Black supremacy is racism, even though it is by its very definition. See here for more.Terrorist96 (talk) 01:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. You're absolutely right of course. Basically the resident Black supremacists/racists and/or their leftist acolytes have managed to censor any mention of Black racism on WP. I hadn't realized to what level WP had descended. Ironically "Black racism" redirects to "Black supermacy". Basemetal 02:22, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

@Akartoshi: I did include a reason. But I'll restate it here: 1) it violates WP:CRYSTAL, 2) it converted an existing SVG image file to a PNG. If you wish to update the map, update the existing one and don't convert it to a PNG and upload a separate file. Thanks. Terrorist96 (talk) 18:52, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, As you can tell, I'm pretty new at wikipedia, I didn't know how to update an existing file, thus I just decided to make a new one. I will make an SVG now.

Also, I do have sources, that were already included in the page. I didn't just blindly make those changes. Akartoshi (talk) 12:59, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Texas Speed Limit map

Texas 99/Grand Parkway in Harris county was recently bumped up to 75 without much fanfare apparently; I haven't checked the segment between 45-59/69 that jogs into Montgomery County, but it was posted at 70 the last time I drove on it. --Thegunkid (talk) 11:16, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Cool! I don't know how to update the map to reflect that though. Feel free to post on the relevant talk page. Thanks.Terrorist96 (talk) 12:44, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Constitutional Carry Oklahoma

Well It's passed, just waiting for the Governor's ink now; Which kinda angers me as a Texan that we let those damn landthieves beat us to constitutional carry. Remember Greer County!--Thegunkid (talk) 11:17, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Yep, let's see if she signs it. She doesn't have the best gun rights record so we'll see.Terrorist96 (talk) 12:44, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
I hope it's not another Utah. Hell Iowa was supposed to get Constitutional Carry a few years ago but the NRA decided to put their nose where it didn't belong and meddled in the political dance and maneuvers the state politicians were engaged in to force the Shall-Issue legislation they had on the table when it was never actually supposed to be real legislation, it was designed as a political stunt so it would get rejected in order to then politically justify constitutional carry but no we can't have nice things. Anyway that out of the way with this law passing this would actually result in open carry of long guns finally being legalised in Oklahoma; though with a 21 age limit. --Thegunkid (talk) 06:30, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Selfish Ledger

I reverted your addition to X about Selfish Ledger. As far as I can tell, this isn't a formal project, so it doesn't belong in the list. Do you have other information than the leaked video of a discussion? Tarl N. (discuss) 23:47, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hey @Tarl N.: no, I don't have any other info other than that leaked video posted by The Verge. I thought it was interesting and worth mentioning on Google X's Wiki page. If not under the official projects section, then at least a mention somewhere else. What do you think?Terrorist96 (talk) 00:00, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
Somewhere else might be reasonable. First thing would be to find if this was actually a real project that got canceled (e.g., under "find reasons to kill off projects"), a talk that went nowhere, or actually is still a live project. A simple mention in an internal talk doesn't qualify as a project, though. If you can find out its fate, it could belong under any of "Explorations", "Other Projects" (if its live, where you had it), or in the last sentence of that section, under projects considered and rejected. Regards, Tarl N. (discuss) 00:08, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
This is the official quote provided by a spokesperson: “We understand if this is disturbing -- it is designed to be. This is a thought-experiment by the Design team from years ago that uses a technique known as ‘speculative design’ to explore uncomfortable ideas and concepts in order to provoke discussion and debate. It’s not related to any current or future products.”Terrorist96 (talk) 00:12, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
In that case, it probably belongs in the sentence "Projects that X has considered and rejected". Alternatively, add another sentence after that, or under "Approach" indicating this was speculated, but did not become a project. Given the official quote above, this might well belong as a secondary paragraph under Approach, something like "Thought experiments to explore uncomfortable ideas provoke discussion include ..."

American Samoa Open Carry

Hey, I thought we had an in-depth conversation about their gun laws on the Open Carry page, and established that their law actually only prohibits concealed carry of lawfully owned firearms despite ownership of handguns and centerfire rifles being illegal.

Open Carry Ruled Constitutional Right; May-Issue ruled unconstitutional in 9th Circuit

So today surprisingly it was not California to die on this hill; but the state of Hawaii. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-court/us-appeals-court-upholds-right-to-carry-gun-in-public-idUSKBN1KE28C

I was expecting this. California's law will fall shortly as well. See Nichols v. Brown 14-55873. The case was argued a few days after Young v. Hawaii, and they are now bound by 9th circuit precedent. Terrorist96 (talk) 01:22, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Check what you revert, in the material I removed Liberland themself was the only source for the claim about co-operation with Somaliland, the sources you mentioned in your edit summary had nothing to do with that claim but were about Somaliland as such. Making the vital claim in the section sourced to Liberland only, which isn't allowed here (per WP:SELFPUB). - Tom | Thomas.W talk 14:11, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Revert

Hi Terrorist96,

In this edit, you reverted my revert of a sentence that now reads, "Incumbent Democratic Senator Martin Heinrich is running for reelection to a second term. His opponents are Republican nominee Mick Rich, a businessman, and Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, a two-term Republican Governor of New Mexico and two time candidate for President of the United States." You've reverted to a version which says "Gary Johnson and Gary Johnson" are running. This is clearly a mistake. 67.1.248.214 (talk) 02:10, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Mea Culpa

My apologies for the revert of your edit on the List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump page. I thought that District of Columbia simply redirected to Washington, D.C. instead of actually being a disambiguation page. – JocularJellyfish TalkContribs 03:10, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

You're not an authority on what is an what is not allowed. So please refrain from WP:IDONTLIKEIT edits on the right to work page. Thanks. Quidster4040 (talk) 02:15, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

I dont see how you can misconstrue WP:NOTABLE and WP:BRD issues as WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Additionally, it's WP:UNDUE. If the bill passes, then it would be worth including in an encyclopedic article. Right now, you're just using the article as a news update and trying to promote it.Terrorist96 (talk) 02:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Kukh / Qush

Thanks for engaging on this. Coordinates for the village listed in the Qush article match the location of Kukh (northeast of Kuçuk Ağrı Dağı, near the road from Iğdır into Nakhchivan). Are the coords wrong, or is this actually the same village listed under a variant transliteration? Rupert Clayton (talk) 06:21, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, I think the coordinates are wrong in the Qush article. This is where it likely is (But it might also be a separate city here). Note the spelling of Qush (قوش) vs Kukh (کوخ). But I notice now that it is misplaced on the Wikimedia maps here. So I am not sure whether Google Maps or Wikimedia Maps is wrong. Terrorist96 (talk) 14:37, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Constitutional Carry additions

Hey man, when South Dakota is added on the Constitutional Carry. Could you add that no permit is needed to Open Carry as a resident or non resident as well as Concealed Carry. I do feel that is an important note to add in the ones that are already listed that no permit is needed to Open Carry as well as Concealed Carry except in North Dakota(which should be noted no permit is required to open carry an unloaded handgun with a loaded magazine in your pocket). As well as I see that Virginia is listed in the partial Constitutional Carry States for being allowed to carry in the vehicle without a permit. Wouldn't South Carolina, Florida, Texas, and Tennesssee be added for that reason as well? Due to them not needing a permit to carry it in the vehicle. The disctintion that no permit is required for Open Carry or Concealed carry for both resident and non resident should be listed as well like is done with Idaho and Wyoming. GermanicSoutherner15 (talk) 17:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi. It looks like you already made some of these additions. I made some additional fixes. I think we should remove vehicle carry as it's too broad.Terrorist96 (talk) 14:57, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Constitutional Carry Revert

First off, I'd like to say that your edit summary undoing my edit was rude. Second, your addition is in error, because the addition you made of South Dakota to the list of constitutional carry states is contrary to the fact that that law does not go into effect until July 1st, it is not effective at the moment. --MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 00:12, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

K.Terrorist96 (talk) 00:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
If you don't edit the page to fix the date you improperly formatted, nor to fix the error you made on presenting South Dakota's recent pastage and signing of a constitutional carry bill, then I'll either revert your edit again, or we can discuss how to proceed instead of rudely saying "K". --MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 00:23, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
Can you calm down? I've contributed to all the gun law articles for years now. You were reverted because you put the info in the wrong place.Terrorist96 (talk) 00:30, 1 February 2019 (UTC)
It doesn't matter if you've been contributing to gun laws articles for years, you not only revested my edit, but you added erroneous information. Either, you can correct said erroneous information, allow me to correct it, or I can revert it. --MrThunderbolt1000T (talk) 00:33, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Sure, my bad. The edit summary was automatic from Twinkle. I didn't think you'd revert so fast. Plus I'm on mobile right now where it's harder to edit quickly.Terrorist96 (talk) 00:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@Robert McClenon: My point was that the visibility will allow it to expand from being a stub, not that the visibility should justify its publication. Its notability should suffice based on the (currently) seven source cited.Terrorist96 (talk) 13:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
