Suicide
Hi, I noticed you made some edits to the suicide article. I've created a sample layout in an effort to improve the page. I would appreciate your comments to my proposal. If you're too busy with other stuff, don't worry about it. :) Gflores Talk 21:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Article title
Actually, we usually favour the common name. See Naming conventions (common names). "When choosing a name for a page ask yourself: What word would the average user of the Wikipedia put into the search engine?" The average person would most definitely put in MI5. The other problem with using the official name is that Security Service points to a disambig page. Yes, you can add a qualifier as you did, but it makes it rather ugly (particularly using the full qualifier that you did - would UK not have been better?). -- Necrothesp 23:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism after "last warning"

Larry Nevers
Hey there. Just here to help you with your recent disambiguation pages - it's best to have them follow the traditional disambig style. I've fixed up Larry Nevers to follow this; it would be helpful if any past and future disambig pages you make look/are formatted similarly. Have fun! (|--  UlT i MuS ( U 18:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Careful
The whole point of Did Six Million Really Die? is that it is not a history book; it's "revisionism" - that is, lies. Adding it to the category of "Holocaust history books" is pointless and invalid. DS 15:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Template:SCOTUSCase
The template is widely used and has remained pretty constant for awhile. If you feel that there should be more wikification, I'd suggest taking it up on WP:SCOTUS and seeing what other people think. I don't particularly care either way whether or not more linking is included, however, if it's done, the linking should be systematic and consistent. Cheers. --MZMcBride 22:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Curry bashing
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants
Re: Talk Page ... Talk:Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants

According to PATRICK S. RYAN, Revisiting the United States Application of Punitive Damages: Separating Myth from Reality: "The case is not reported or published, which means that under United States law it cannot be considered as valid precedent for any legal purpose. Westlaw has a simple one-page "unpublished" version available as part of its database service. Lexis-Nexis has no record of the case. Regarding the appeal, there is nothing, either in published, unpublished, or any other unofficial or official form." Is it possible, to get reliable data on a case, to request a copy (perhaps by e-mail) of the judgment form the court, instead of relying on commercial services? How do Lexis-Nexis or Westlaw get their data? Apokrif 22:43, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Remember that this was simply a case that was tried at the trial court level. It was never appealed.  Thus, it makes perfect sense that Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis do not have this case in their databases of appeals.  (Actually, I think that both sides did indeed file an appeal, but the parties ultimately settled the case before actually arguing said appeal.)  Since this was only a trial level court case, there would be no published decision to report.  One might, perhaps, get trial court transcripts (at a very hefty cost) ... but there would be no "published" or "reported" decision per se at the trial court level.  As far as your question about Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis: they certainly focus on publishing reported / published opinions that are generated at the appeals level.  The decisions in these appeals are available to the general public ... and, thus, are easily available for Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis to access.  As far as trial level court cases ... only for a pretty significant or important trial case (such as this one) would Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis decide to include the case in their databases.  Precisely for the reason you mention.  Such trial level cases have no precedential value whatsoever.  Thus, they essentially have no real "legal" value at all (to attorneys, or courts, or parties to litigation).  Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis will only include a small number of these types of cases (those conducted only at the trial level, and not taken to the appeal level) simply for the general public interest that they generate ... and, perhaps, for academic purposes also.  I hope this answers your questions.  Thanks.   (Joseph A. Spadaro, 6 September 2009)

Proposed deletion of Sairam


The article Sairam has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * The 2 terms are not even close to each other so no need for disambiguation.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ridernyc (talk) 15:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Madryga
I saw you tagged this article as a possible copyright violation of Applied Cryptography. I see that the three design principles not fulfilled by DES are copied verbatim (I'm not sure if those are copied verbatim from W.E. Madryga to begin with or not), but I'm not seeing any other copy/paste or even close paraphrase from the book. Can you elaborate on what part(s) looked like the copyright violation to you?

 * Thanks for the reply. I did sit down with Applied Cryptography second edition when I looked over it. I'll look through the first edition later today but if that doesn't turn up anything I'm going to tentatively mark it as clean. If something else comes to mind, please let me know.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Sanitätswesen move
I noticed that you moved this article to Sanitätswesen (German concentration and extermination camps). Modern-day Germany has no such camps. I find the title a bit unwieldly anyway, but shouldn't that read "Nazi" instead of "German"? I mean, not all Germans are Nazis, but writing something like "German concentration camp" makes it sound like it could be an ongoing, rather than a historical thing. Thanks. Marrante (talk) 17:00, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * A shorter title might be to make the parens read "(Nazi Germany)" instead of the much longer "concentration and extermination camps". Doesn't "Nazi Germany" sort of cover it? Marrante (talk) 17:02, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I see the German WP uses "Sanitätswesen (KZ)" on their disambiguation page, with "(in nationalsozialistischen Konzentrationslagern)" as an explanation. We don't have the same ease of use with "KZ" but I'll work it out. Thanks for telling me your intent with the move. Marrante (talk) 18:42, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Bletchley Park?
Hi. You seem rather insistent on including Bletchley Park in Category:Cryptographic attacks, which is inappropriate. Bletchley Park is as much a crypto attack as is the NSA or CIA. Examples of the articles included in the category:


 * Adaptive chosen-ciphertext attack
 * Adversary (cryptography)
 * Attack model
 * Banburismus
 * Birthday attack
 * Bit-flipping attack
 * Black bag operation
 * Black-bag cryptanalysis
 * Boomerang attack
 * Brute-force attack
 * Chosen-ciphertext attack
 * Chosen-plaintext attack
 * Ciphertext-only attack
 * Clock drift

Inclusion of Bletchley Park in this category makes no sense. The way to deal with these things is to discuss them, not just to revert. I would love to talk about it on the article Talk page with you. If, however, you continue to mis-categorize pages, we'll be talking about this on an Administrator's Noticeboard, instead, and I'd really rather not do that. &mdash; UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 22:59, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bagdasaryan


A tag has been placed on Bagdasaryan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Pichpich (talk) 18:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Could you please be more careful?
In November of 2013 you redirected Penny Lane (Guantanamo) to Guantanamo Bay detention camp. In my opinion, this redirection was highly problematic, because the article on the Guantanamo Bay detention camp should be devoted solely to the secretive MILITARY camp. Like Camp Strawberry Fields, Camp Penny Lane was an even more secretive CIA camp.

In my opinion, this redirection was problematic because the "facilities" section does not say anything about Camp Penny Lane.

May I suggest that if you ever come across a red-link and consider redirecting it to some larger topic, you pause, and give this more thought than you did here? How much effort should a quality control volunteer perform before they add a prod tag? Policy-compliant contributors comply with WP:BEFORE, and do a web search on a topic, before they suggest deletion, to make sure they are not suggesting deleting our coverage of a strongly notable topic simply because the current article was weak.

Your change of the red-link to a blue-link is confusing to other contributors. In my opinion, Camp Penny Lane is an important enough topic to merit a standalone article. When the wikilink for that topic is blue, it looks like that article has already been written. A red-link, on the other hand, is a strong reminder that the article hasn't been written yet.

I suggest that it would have been better for the wikipedia, if you weren't going to write the artilce yourself, for you to have left it as a red-link.

I am also very concerned by a trend I find ill-advised of redirecting to subsections within larger articles. In my opinion, if a topic is worthy of a wikilink, it is almost certainly worthy of an article on its own. In my opinion, the reasons why wikilinking to subsections within larger articles is a mistake, include:
 * 1) Proper articles have a lede sentence, lede paragraph -- something not appropriate for a section within an article;
 * 2) Only full articles can be placed on our watchlists;
 * 3) The "what links here" button only works on full articles.
 * Contrast this with the situation for those poor souls who write web pages on the plain old world-wide-web. They have no idea how many other web-pages link to their page.  So they can only guess at how many external web-links they will break, if they change the name of the url of a page.
 * 1) Redirection is not full supported when the target of the wikilink is a subsection heading within a larger article.  We have hard-working robots which quietly work in the background to make sure redirects always work.  When someone changes the name of an article, the hard-working robots that look for double redirects find all the redirects that point to the old name, and change them to point to the new name.  Contributors feel they are free to change section headings, correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, or change them to bring them up to date with what the section is about, when that has been changed.  And if one contributor changes a section heading that someone else has made part of a hybrid wikilink to a section heading within another article, then that wikilink breaks.  When contributors follow the practice you followed here they make fragile wikilinks that silently break, are hard to fix, and hard to detect that they have failed.

I am going to repeat the opinion that if a topic is important enough that it merits a wikilink it is almost certainly important enough to merit its own standalone article. Geo Swan (talk) 07:39, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Scientology is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBSCI
EdJohnston (talk) 16:53, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

$cientology
Apokrif, I reverted you (I won't do so again, however ). You're whitewashing the Scientology article. Bottom line, it's not a new religious movement, it's a cult, made up by L. Wrong Hubbard on a bet he had with another Science Fiction writer. Read the Penthouse interview with his son - he states this outright, and remember, his son has every reason in the world to keep his mouth shut, after all, he stood to gain a lot of money, and possible power and prestige within the cult of Scientology, therefore he'd have no reason to have given the candid interview that he gave. You don't say on this page or your French page if you're a scientologist yourself, and I don't think I can ask you or speculate on it, so I won't do so, but at the very least you seem to have a conflict of Interest based on your editing, you may want to edit elsewhere for the time being. Kosh Vorlon  17:24, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * "it's not a new religious movement, it's a cult" We are not interested in you points of view.
 * "you seem to have a conflict of Interest based on your editing" No. Apokrif (talk) 17:27, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Uh, it's not my point of view, it's actually the point of view of the late L.Ron Hubbard JR, he stated as much in his Penthouse interview, and you answered my second question by showing my your contribs. Remember, it's not how much you contribute, but how you edit certain article that shows COI or POV, I'll reiterate, I can't and won't accuse you of having one directly, but your whitewash of $cientology sure looks like it.  Kosh Vorlon   19:31, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It looks like you don't distinguish between expressing a wikipedian's point of view in the article space (which is forbidden by policy) and stating the point of view of notable people (here, various French public authorities who wrote about cults), which is not. Note that I don't necessarily agree whith all the people I cite in WP articles (I often don't). Regarding your edits on my talk page, I suggest you read Wikipedia is not a forum.

Embedded link and template in Kenji Goto article
Hi. Thanks for your interest in the Kenji Goto article. I had to revert your recent edit to the article for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it added an embedded link, which are now discouraged (see Embedded citations). Secondly, you replaced an occurrence of the   template, which is used to mark dated statements. It is there for a purpose, so please be careful about removing templates or formatting you are not familiar with. Drop us a line here or on my Talk page if there is still anything you are unclear about. Thanks. --DAJF (talk) 00:49, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia:Gender
Hey, what are these categories you're setting up? This doesn't appear to be how we generally do categories. Perhaps "Gender identity policies and essays" is a better category title?--v/r - TP 21:32, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Of course subcategories (e.g. for policies or essays) can be created, but if we only had a category named "policies and essays", it could not be used for other topics, like templates for user pages. Apokrif (talk) 11:36, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Heck, doesn't really matter what it's called, but the double colon is tripping me.  We don't usually create categories like "Category:Wikipedia:Something".  Unless you've seen it elsewhere, but I haven't.  I've seen "Category:Wikipedia something", though.--v/r - TP 17:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what the consensus is on en.wikipedia.org (I don't really really mind if this category or other Wikipedia: categories I've created are renamed), however the use of this prefix is consistent whith the naming of articles: the Wikipedia: prefix clearly indicates that these are meta-pages, not encyclopedia articles about Wikipedia. Apokrif (talk) 18:12, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on whether a separate category is needed, but the second colon should not be there—except for proper nouns, titles shuld contain only one colon to identify the namespace (Category: in this case). See Category names: "Categories used for Wikipedia administration are prefixed with the word 'Wikipedia' (no colon) if this is needed to prevent confusion with content categories." Therefore, I have renamed this category to Category:Wikipedia gender. -- Black Falcon (talk) 02:35, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Move reverted.
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your bold move of Warrant Officer Basic Course has been reverted because an editor has found it to be controversial. Per Requested moves, a move request must be placed on the article's talk page, and the request be open for discussion for seven days, "if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested". Such consensus is particularly required before moving a title with incoming links in order to create a disambiguation page at that title. If you believe that this move is appropriate, please initiate such a discussion to form the appropriate consensus. Again, please note that moving a page with a longstanding title and/or a large number of incoming links is more likely to be considered controversial, and may be contested. bd2412 T 14:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of California Fish and Game Commissio


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on California Fish and Game Commissio requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Island Club
Hi, I just noticed that the redirect page Carrion Comfort which you recently created from the page Island Club two days ago was already an article request made in WikiProject Lagos several months ago. Please, could you change the title of the redirect by moving it to The Island Club or elsewhere to differentiate it from the one for the city of Lagos? The one for Lagos is a notable existing club compared to the fictional one in the novel. If you don't concurr with me, then I suggest we make the page a disambiguation link as a compromise.

Disambiguation link notification for July 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Arkham Asylum does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. ''"novel" provides no context as to why you're adding it to an article about the Batman franchise while noting it's not a part of said franchise, especially when it's evidently not significant enough for its own article. Please do not re-add without discussion at the article's Talk page.'' DonIago (talk) 15:49, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Komalah
Hello. Please could you help us to fix the mis-directed links arising from retargeting ? Most of the links are clearly about a political party, but it's not obvious to the layman whether they're intended for the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan or Komalah (CPI). Thanks, Certes (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
 * IMHO as "komalah" is very similar to "komala", it's safer to view it as a spelling variant of komala and to keep komalah redirected to Komala rather than Komalah (CPI), in case editors mix up both spellings and erroneously write komalah somewhere when they actually mean komala. Apokrif (talk) 22:51, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, that sounds very sensible. The problem was that several articles linked to the disambiguation page via  and it wasn't clear whether to change them to Komalah (CPI) or some other meaning, but someone has sorted them out in the last couple of days. Certes (talk) 23:48, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
