Why have you reverted my last edit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.110.9.18 (talk) 00:05, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it would be good to have a look at the RfC on Talk:Malakia regarding an article that was/is supposed to be about the Greek word. Esoglou (talk) 06:51, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Motion Picture Association of America film rating system
In regards to your revert of my edit to the Language section of the article, exactly how was the article "better" before my edit? There have been many PG films with uses of the word "shit," a noted example being The Sandlot. Please review your revert and get back to me on why it is valid.

Accidental reintroduction of vandalism
Hello, you seem to have accidentally re-introduced vandalism in [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:99.52.194.140&oldid=610280887 this edit]. Please be more careful in the future. Graham 87 01:43, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Tariq Chow article
Hello. Thank you for leaving me a message about my edits, but I believe the changes I made were in line with policies regarding WP:BLP and WP:NOTE as explained in the edit comment I left.

The links provided as sources do not mention hardly any of the content the article claims they cite, and as a result most of the information is unverified. Is it not policy to remove articles about living persons if they are not verified or notable? The BLP policy states that ALL un-cited info should be removed immediately, which I did, so I consider your revert to be incorrect and not taking these things into account. Please do correct me if I am wrong.

Here's the line in the BLP policy: Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.200.22.131 (talk) 22:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for notifying me of your rationale. I incorrectly assumed that you were removing content without good reason, but I now realize I was wrong. Feel free to revert my edit or delete the unsourced material. Again, thank you for helping to make Wikipedia a better place, and for putting up with idiots like me.

May 2014
Good morning person. Whilst my previous edits may have appeared to be vandalism, it is aimed at the Scottish National Party; a poitical party that spreads so much blatant lies and, pardon my French, bollocks that their dark underbelly should be known to the whole world and it's occupants. The SNP are a bubble of propaganda and I will make it my duty to burst them. Before you wonder - No, I am not drunk. Much censored love, person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.172.103 (talk) 00:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:NPOV --Lixxx235 (talk) 20:33, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. While you may find the SNP demagogic and deceitful, Wikipedia aims to be both neutral and inoffensive. Thanks for notifying me of your rationale. B14709 (talk) 22:19, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

University of Oregon page revisions
Appreciate the feedback about the edits.

My point in making them is to point out that the U of O's claims of being a "flagship" university are patently untrue, and that by any meaningful measure, that distinction belongs to Oregon STATE University. The fact that "flagship university" is boilerplate language on their press releases simply does not make it so. Hopefully that language will be edited from the original page, or at least noted as a disputed claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.25.123.137 (talk) 03:13, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry about chiming in, but I did always think it was strange that OS and UO claimed flagship status. Besides: OS was first: but the VERY first was Western Oregon :D Corporatemonster (talk) 04:16, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for explaining your edits. I reverted them not because I'm pro-UO or anti-OS, but because I thought that they were pushing a certain viewpoint (WP:NPOV). If you want to clear this up and discuss this on the talk page, that would be great. Again, thanks for responding! B14709 (talk) 22:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Dear B14709 Thanks for the review of my article submitted last month. I'm not sure to clearly understand why the article was refused for publication. Could you please be more clear in your comments? See below the actual comments:

Historical Changes to iXsystems (formerly known as BSDi)
Hey, thanks for keeping the peace! I meant no harm with my update. Just attempting to include the historical evolution of this company. It's been around since 1991, was acquired by FreeBSD Mall in 2002, and then FreeBSD Mall was acquired by OffMyServer (iXsystems) in 2003. With that kind of corporate hot-potato going on it's been super difficult to keep this page up to date. How should I proceed with these updates in the future? Including the most current and missing historical information about the company makes for a better and more accurate representation of reality. How should I proceed from here? I'm just trying to be a helpful citizen :)

Namesjixon (talk) 00:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Whoa, I don't know. iXsystems seems like a successor to BSD, so I think we should probably keep it as a separate section for now. Personally, I'm not very familiar with the company, so if you could help, that would be awesome! B14709 (talk) 00:55, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, okay... No worries. I'm here to help! So when a company gets acquired, the new company becomes the "Successor" and a new wiki article should be created? Sorry for the noob talk, still getting acquainted with my sea-legs.


 * The problem with creating a new article is that iXsystems currently redirects to BSDi - is there a way you can revert that?


 * best,
 * Namesjixon (talk) 01:09, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, via WP:CORP, a company is not notable if it does not have significant coverage from third-party sources. I Googled iXsystems, and the first twenty were either reviews or non-independent sources. For now, we should probably just keep it as a section of BSD. But if we do find more good sources, than iXsystems would definitely be a viable article. B14709 (talk) 01:21, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * And thanks for reminding me of the redirect. I'll improve it by linking it to the section! B14709 (talk) 01:23, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Awesome! You may find more more notable sources by Googling for "FreeNAS" and "PC-BSD" both of which are iXsystems sponsored open source projects. FreeNAS in particular seems to be a very well-known and established project in the realm of Network Attached Storage.  PC-BSD, while not as well known, is another long-running open source project independently operated by Kris Moore of the FreeBSD community. Namesjixon (talk) 01:46, 5 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks. If you want to create a submission to Articles for Creation, then feel free to do so. It would be much appreciated. B14709 (talk) 01:09, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

JFRD Article
Thank you for reviewing the suggested additions to the article. The added work was removed by someone for copyright violation. I'm still trying to figure out what can and can't be added. Because the vast majority of the information is coming from the city's site. I'm not a seasoned editor, but would like to develop the JFRD article. However, I don't know what permission is needed to use that information. I have verbal consent, do I need written consent as well? Kendrick528 (talk) 05:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, I can't answer your question very well. I declined the article because it already existed, not because of anything else. I probably don't know any more than you do in terms of copyright violations than you do. However, I'd suggest reading WP:CV for more information. Thanks, and have a good day!

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular. The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered. If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.) If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with. Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors. I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

I beg your pardon, but the only thing I did was to add the word "partial", as I am not one for vandalizing Wikipedia. I know it is hard to believe, but someone else was sitting beside me and added the insult. My apologies. LlegóelBigotee (talk) 00:38, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * OK. Sorry if you weren't the one to blame. This has happened to me before too; it's all you can do to try to prevent the edit from going through and, if that fails, then reverting the edit as quickly as possible. I suppose it's not really a big deal in the long run. Have a nice day! B14709 (talk) 00:48, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
