Apology
Hi,

My sincerest of apologies, this is a shared computer between my children. I shall create an account so this does not happen again.

Hasty editing
I was just moving the image to another section. Look before you leap! 109.151.233.154 (talk) 10:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm WikiMacaroons. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Mohanpur, Darbhanga have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. WikiMacaroons (talk) 11:23, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, Are you sure you warned the right person? To my knowledge, my only edit to that page was [| this one]. You even reverted an edit by 145.255.64.208 to my revision. Best, Blablubbs (talk) 11:27, 28 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh my, I'm sorry, Blablubbs, that was meant for a vandal! Flop on my part, I apologise. WikiMacaroons (talk) 11:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)


 * No worries, WikiMacaroons. And thanks for the confirmation - I was worried that I had somehow messed up while editing before having my second cup of coffee ;). Have fun patrolling! Blablubbs (talk) 11:41, 28 June 2020 (UTC)


 * would you mind if I add a strikethrough to your initial message to make it more visible that the warning was an error? Best, Blablubbs (talk) 16:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh yes, sorry, I don't know why I didn't do that before! WikiMacaroons (talk) 17:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much, I appreciate it! Blablubbs (talk) 21:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Allied Military Government
The Allied Military Government was not a geopolitical organisation. It was a country. Could you please add imfobpx country and remove infobox geopolitical organisation. Thanks Kanto7 (talk) 11:35, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi,, and thank you for your message. In the future, it would be great if you explained your edits in the edit summary field. Regarding the topic at hand: I don't think that the AMG quite fits the definition of a country, since it was a form of temporary military rule that was imposed during an occupation and it occured without dissolving existing states. However, I am not an expert in these matters, so you might want to bring up your proposed change on the article talk page. I hope you continue contributing to Wikipedia! Best, Blablubbs (talk) 11:53, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Elizabeth of Russia
Could you please take a look at the article for Elizabeth of Russia? I am concerned about it. Thank you. 73.117.43.76 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:29, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your message. I'm assuming you're referring to the recent contributions by 190.236.98.183? I'm afraid I wouldn't be comfortable intervening here, since - when looked at in sum - their edits seem to have been made in good faith and appear to be sourced. I sadly don't know enough about the topic to be able to judge whether the contributions are actually a substantive improvement to the article (my only edits to that page were made while patrolling recent changes). Generally, it's a good idea to discuss content-related issues on the article talk page or the talk pages of the editor(s) involved. If you think they made isolated errors, you might want to try and correct them yourself. If you think all the edits are problematic, you could also manually restore a previous revision of the article. Should you edit the article directly, please remember to always provide an adequate edit summary to justify your changes. You could also try to find an editor who is more knowledgeable about the topic and ask them for their input. I hope this helps. Best, Blablubbs (talk) 09:16, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

July 2020
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Ruth Gemmell, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Materialscientist (talk) 16:00, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey, are you sure you warned the right person? I reverted an edit that added unreferenced information (diff here. Best, Blablubbs (talk) 16:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Blablubbs. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have&#32;temporarily [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3ABlablubbs enabled] rollback on your account&#32;until 2020-07-20. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 18:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Rollback
Hello,

I am relatively new to the world of combating vandalism and saw that you rollbacked my edit. I was just wondering if I did anything wrong, and if so, what? Or did you just rollback further than I did?

NB: I am not accusing you of anything, just simply trying to find out if I did something wrong. :)

Thanks, Giraffer (munch) 08:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Giraffer, thanks for your message. I'm assuming you are referring to this reversion? If so, then my reverting you was indeed just rolling back a little further. Your previous undo was absolutely justified, but had only addressed half of a problematic edit that had come in two parts. Best, Blablubbs (talk) 09:39, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , ok thanks; (I was refering to that one). Just checking! Giraffer (munch) 09:42, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!
I noticed the rollback of the page on Nathen that you did, and just wanted to thank you. The edit I made was completely accidental (Was trying to update but put down the wrong info), and i'm glad it was caught. Thank you very much, sire, for your what keeps Wikipedia reliable! --2601:547:8100:4DB0:4034:87E4:E4EA:B710 (talk) 10:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Лагно
Информация о замужестве Лагно и Грищука является абсолютно открытой. И ее знает весь шахматный мир. В русско-язычной среде есть ссылки на это. Да собственно это знают все! Никто из этого секрета не делает. И сейчас они играют онлайн сидя в одной комнате! Можешь сам посмотреть трансляции, которые идут на ютубе. И да, у нее 4 детей. Один (младший) от Грищука.95.27.193.186 (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. I didn't revert your edit because I think the information you added is wrong, but because you did not support it with a reliable source, which is against Wikipedia's policies (see WP:V, WP:BLP). If reliable sources supporting your claim exist, then please re-add it with a citation. I would also like to ask you to please use English to communicate with other editors on the English Wikipedia. Thanks. Blablubbs (talk) 18:50, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

You can open any online chess broadcast. There are a lot of tournaments going on right now! And to see Lagno and Grischuk playing in the same room!!! What else could be more reliable??? One more time. The Russian-language page has links. You can also open them easily.95.27.193.186 (talk) 00:46, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Again: You don't need to convince me that your claim is correct, you just need to provide a reliable source that supports it. If those are indeed readily available, that should not be a problem. Thank you. Blablubbs (talk) 09:40, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Re:
Hello, this is a response to this message you have left for me. You asked why I removed this. I do not think you have noticed my diff from before the removal, I have added in the 2020s section that the store had already closed with a local journalistic website included in the link as a source. What I had removed was the sentence that sounded as if BBB was still in operation, so I added a new sentence a different section claiming the store had now closed. Does any of this make sense? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.193.67 (talk) 19:28, 11 July 2020 (UTC)


 * If you're confused or have any questions, my talk page is open for us to discuss. Sorry for the confusion there. 68.132.193.67 (talk) 19:35, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for your message - you are absolutely right, I had completely missed your previous edit. I've added a strikethrough to the warning on your talk page to make clear that it was an error. Sorry for the inconvenience - I hope you continue contributing to Wikipedia! (PS: While this one's absolutely on me, it's still usually a good idea to leave an edit summary whenever you add or remove content - it makes it far easier for other editors to understand your intentions.) Blablubbs (talk) 19:39, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Will do. Thanks bud. 68.132.193.67 (talk) 22:29, 11 July 2020 (UTC)68.132.193.67

Partisan editing shouldn't be allowed
Hey bud, the changes I made were to bring a little balance to the extremely bias wiki page for John Wohl. Currently, it is completely full of perspective and opinions. By adding the term "comedian", it will show that not everything he does is seen by everyone as some kind of an attack against the leftist religion. PhilTheStampede (talk) 21:38, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello. If you can provide a reliable, secondary source (cf. WP:RS, WP:CITE, WP:RSP) that describes Wohl as a comedian, you are welcome to add that information - if you can't provide one, please you to refrain from doing so. And just as an observation: Implying that other editors are adherents of "the leftist religion" doesn't exactly strengthen your claim of being here to reduce bias. Thanks. Blablubbs (talk) 10:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn't imply that other editors were part of the religion. I was talking about the information itself. It's possible that they have only read information from opinion or propaganda pieces and do not realize they have been indoctrinated. I meant no offense. Freedom of religion is an important part of the country I'm from. PhilTheStampede (talk) 12:08, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

You are now a pending changes reviewer!
Hi Blablubbs! I've been running into you while patrolling logs and recent changes and I happened to notice that you don't have the pending changes reviewer rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling and that you consistently view and undo vandalism and bad faith disruption. I believe that the pending changes reviewer rights would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tool. Instead of having you formally request the rights at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to review edits that are pending approval on pages currently under pending changes protection and either accept the edits to make them viewable by the general public, or decline and revert them.

Keep these things in mind regarding the tool or when you're reviewing any pending changes:


 * A list of articles with pending edits awaiting review can be viewed at Special:PendingChanges.
 * A list of the articles currently under pending changes protection can be viewed at Special:StablePages.
 * Being granted and having these rights does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you (obviously).
 * You'll generally want to accept any pending changes that appear to be legitimate edits and are not blatant vandalism or disruption, and reject edits that are problematic or that you wouldn't accept yourself.
 * Never accept any pending changes that contain obvious and clear vandalism, blatant neutral point of view issues, copyright violations, or BLP violations.

Useful guidelines and pages for you to read:


 * Reviewing pending changes, the guideline and tutorial on using the rights and reviewing pending changes.
 * Pending changes, a summary of pending changes protection, the pending changes user right, and how it applies.
 * Protection policy, the policy section on pending changes protection and its appropriate application and use by administrators.

I'm sure you'll do fine with the reviewer rights - it's a pretty straight-forward tool and it doesn't drastically change the interface that you're used to already. Nonetheless, please don't hesitate to leave me a message on my user talk page if you run into any questions, get stuck anywhere, or if you're not sure if you should accept or revert pending changes to a page, and I'll be more than be happy to help you. If you no longer want the pending changes reviewer rights, let me know and I'll be happy to remove it for you. Thank you for helping to patrol recent changes and keep Wikipedia free of disruption and vandalism - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   10:40, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks very much! I'll try to make good use of it :) Blablubbs (talk) 11:06, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

CV Revdel script
Hi Blablubbs - you might be interested in checking out User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js - it allows you to flag revisions for cv revdel without the trouble of logging into IRC. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  10:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the tip! Is this generally the preferred way to request cv revdel? I usually don't mind hopping into IRC :). Best, Blablubbs (talk) 13:40, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * , I can't say that it's the preferred method exactly, but it's the one that most people seem to use. You can specify all the diffs which are problematic with little tickboxes (and you can use shift to select lots of diffs if the copyvio has been in there for ages), and put links to the relevant websites on there; once you make the request, it gets added to a queue on the fancy admin dashboard - several admins work the queue, so nothing that gets reported that way gets missed. I'd recommend it over IRC personally for CV stuff. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  13:48, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Please stop undoing my changes
Dear Blablubbs, Could you please undo your own change? I wanted everyone to respect the Chinese philosopher Zhuang Zhou (also known as Zhuangzi). I did not mean to vandal. I am not a vandal. That part of the article was not respectful to Zhuangzi. Thanks, 2607:FEA8:31A0:2912:8C4F:AEE0:A223:13C1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:31A0:2912:8C4F:AEE0:A223:13C1 (talk) 12:07, 17 July 2020 (UTC) What I mean is will you go to the admins and tell them to block me if I revert your change with an edit summary? I will change other things around it to make it more gramatically and temporally correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:31A0:2912:8C4F:AEE0:A223:13C1 (talk) 12:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. If you have a good substantive reason to remove the content, you can of course go ahead and do so. If your sole reason for removing the content is that it conflicts with your personal point of view, someone will likely undo the change and you might get reported for disruptive editing - whether by me or someone else is irrelevant. Thanks. Blablubbs (talk) 13:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

(Note to other readers: More context for this discussion can be found here). Blablubbs (talk) 13:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe personally that Zhuangzi should be respected, and that he did exist. Please tell me your opinion and what you believe everyone's opinion is. 2607:FEA8:31A0:2912:8C4F:AEE0:A223:13C1
 * I don't have an opinion on the matter, I just reverted your edit because you removed content without justification. Note that Wikipedia doesn't determine what it writes by asking individual editors what they believe about something; Instead, we try to summarise what experts have said about something (see our core content policies). If there are experts that have said that Zhuangzi might not have existed, then the Wikipedia article about him should say that - if other experts have said that he might have existed, it should say that too; no matter what individual editors personally believe. (PS: I have taken the liberty to move your reply into the ongoing discussion. Please don't open a new talk page section for every message you send; indents should be used instead.) Thanks.

AirAsia India Edit that was removed by you.
Hello, I appreciate your work to protect the community and Wikipedia. My edit that was made which mentioned AirAsia India as "Unsafe" was removed by you due to lack of sources. I would like to clarify that I made the following changes concerning the following article of [https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/dgca-investigating-airasia-india-after-pilot-alleges-safety-violations-120061501729_1.html#:~:text=The%20aviation%20regulator%20is%20investigating,DGCA%20officials%20said%20on%20Monday. Business Standard] and from the latest video published by Flying Beast (Gaurav Taneja) the whistleblower on his youtube channel. In his video, he has shown two RTIs filled and the reply of one RTI received from the office of DGCA India. I would like to clarify that my intent was clear to provide that true and correct information to the people. The reader should get an idea of how this company is "Risking" the lives of its passengers and be safe from the company. I also hoped that this would impact the company, and it would improve its safety standards. Also, I believe that the readers should know the truth of this "low-cost carrier" which is also an "Unsafe Airline". I hope that I have made myself and clear and you would not have any objection to it. If you feel that I am vandalizing the page or this information is not appropriate than I would like to hear from you in detail, as you seem to be an experienced and highly-intellect person as far as Wikipedia Pages are concerned.

Regards:) Indian Wiki Head (talk) 17:26, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, thank you for your message. I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia with factual information; however, the safety issues you mention seem to be based on allegations that are currently being investigated. While those allegations are noteworthy, I think it's enough to mention that they exist (the Air Asia article currently has such a section) and attribute them properly (see WP:NPOV). Adding the information to the short description and unequivocally stating that the airline is "unsafe" strikes me as giving undue weight to what seems to be simply an allegation at this point. I know it can be hard, but editors should try to not let their personal viewpoints and theories influence their contributions to articles. You should also try to always back up your edit with a citation, instead of providing sources a after someone challenges your contributions, since readers should be able to verify the content of an article by just looking at the references in the article itself. I hope this explanation is satisfactory - feel free to message me if you have any more questions or concerns. (PS: You seem to have duplicated your message, so I have taken the liberty to remove the malformatted version.) Best, Blablubbs (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

you are helping vandals on Val Whiting wiki page
She has been getting bullied racially and for her gender and it moved to wikipedia. You got me blocked and I was trying to combat this — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jraymond425 (talk • contribs) 18:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I understand your concerns about bullying and appreciate your efforts to help keep the article free from vandalism. But the users that reverted your edits did not do so because they are vandals, but because they were enforcing Wikipedia policy. The problem on that page was simply that you tried to insert large chunks of text that didn't cite any sources and hence were not verifiable, which is strictly against our Biographies of living persons policy. This was by, but you continued reinserting the content, which led to a block (see the edit warring policy for more information). You might want to note that both she and  have since contributed content to the article, drastically improving it by doing so. Thanks for understanding; feel free to message me if you have any more questions or concerns - but please keep in mind that assuming good faith is one of the cornerstones of Wikipedia policy.

Hi, I am a new editor and need help creating false information on a page. Not sure if this is how to best contact you, but any help would be much appreciated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fogoros09 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I'm assuming you're referring to your contributions to The Heritage School (Newnan, Georgia) and that you meant to say you want to remove false information? If that's the case, I would highly recommend you discuss your concerns with the other editors who work on that page first. You can do so by using the article talk page. Removing (sourced) content without a very good explanation is generally frowned upon and might get you blocked for disruptive editing. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions or concerns. PS: Please remember to place new talk pages messages in new sections (I have taken the liberty to do this for you) and to sign your messages with four tildes ( ~ ). Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 20:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you very much, and yes I did mean remove lol. Fogoros09 (talk) 21:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Blablubbs, I would like to request your help with maintaining the correct information on the site for The Heritage School. I have repeatedly entered the correct information, while also retaining controversial information in an important section, yet a user name Jacona continually reverts my edits. It appears she may have an interest in slandering the school, and addressing controversial topics as centerpoints to the school. I believe they should be discussed as I have left them, but in appropriate context. As I am new to WP I am not sure how to handle this situation and would be grateful for any help! ( ~ ) Best, — Fogoros09
 * I won't help you reinstate the edits because — from my limited insight into the matter — the information you removed seems to be well sourced. I can however give you some general advice:
 * Explain your concerns to the other editor involved. Don't keep reinstating the content before gaining consensus. Edit warring is not taken lightly on Wikipedia.
 * Comment on content, not contributors. Accusing other, established editors of vandalism or acting in bad faith without good evidence will not help you make your case and might get you blocked.
 * Provide a substantive argument for why you think the content you are removing shouldn't be there. The first-party account by the school itself is likely biased in favour of the school and as such does not outweigh contemporaneous accounts by people unaffiliated with the subject. If you want to challenge those sources, you will have to provide evidence that they are not factually accurate, which you have not done at this point.
 * Do not post potentially copyrighted content to Wikipedia articles as you seem to have done here. That's considered a very serious offence.

I hope you can resolve this matter amicably. (PS: You need to type the tildes without "nowiki" tags around them, otherwise you won't be able to sign your messages). Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 15:19, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your help! I have tried to retain the controversial information, but categorize it appropriately. Just want the full story to be told. User Jacona seems to think it is the only thing that matters and should be at the forefront. How do you address the order/format in which content is displayed? Fogoros09 (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Consider this a formal and final warning: Do not keep reinstating your preferred version of the page and discuss the matter first. You are in violation of WP:3RR, which is a blockable offence. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 15:43, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I am coming to you to request meditation as an editor between what appears to be an impasse between Jacona and I regarding how to display information. Fogoros09 (talk) 15:43, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * At this point, the best advice I can give you is to disengage, familiarise yourself with Wikipedia policies (some of which I have linked above) and come back with a cool head. With your last few actions on that page, you have violated some of those policies (first and foremost WP:3RR) and might well get blocked because of it.

Why you keep reverting my edits. Once I thanked you for reverting my edit which I mistakenly did. But now I edit a valid point that you reverted. Any reason???😦😦😦 Mariam Athar (talk) 12:47, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for your message. I reverted your edit here because you added information that does not seem appropriate for the infobox. MOS:INFOBOX states that "[...] wherever possible, present information in short form, and exclude any unnecessary content." The information you added seemed extraneous to me (as I indicated in the edit summary), so I reverted your edit. Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 12:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Do you mean that my edit was inappropriate??😐 Mariam Athar (talk) 13:02, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Inappropriate for the infobox, yes – since we use infoboxes to briefly summarise the key points of an article. If an infobox field isn't applicable (in Iqbal's case that would be because he seemingly didn't receive any notable awards), it can simply be left blank. Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 13:14, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

But there was an option for editing the field of awards. 🤔🤔🤔 Mariam Athar (talk) 13:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Clap script
Hi! So, you might not remember this, but you remarked on the Discord the other day that you sometimes wish you could add a clap emoji to edit summaries. Well, in a weird bid to impress you, I made a script that does just that! Find it at User:WikiMacaroons/clap.js, write  in your common.js page. When you're making an edit, simply press Alt and 6 (Ask me if you want a different shortcut) and it will append 👏 to your edit summary. Hope you like it! Thanks,  Wiki Macaroons Cinnamon? 18:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * You actually did it! This is amazing (and I am indeed deeply impressed). I thought you were joking when you wrote that. Thank you very very much! I shall use it sparingly (to avoid getting blocked for uncivil edit summaries) but when I do, I shall do so with a heart full of joy. Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 19:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Warned IP
On this page there is edit warring : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greatest_Croatian&action=history, can you please revert it to original, I dont want to revert all the time what user 93.136.83.115 is deleting, he is obviously on a rampage today because he is deleting multiple pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/93.136.83.115. Thank you.
 * Hi, I'm afraid I can't help you with that – I don't like getting involved in other people's content disputes. Those should be dealt with by seeking consensus, not by getting more people involved in the back and forth. You may want to note that the pages in question have been semi-protected, meaning that new and unregistered users will no longer be able to edit them. I also want to point out that both the IP you linked and yourself have commited numerous violations of the three-revert rule; please refrain from edit warring – it's highly disruptive and unlikely to achieve anything. Thanks! — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 11:59, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes I admit it ,I broke the rule but as you can notice I was trying to restore content not to erase it. As you can see there is multiple pages change from the user 93.136.83.115. on this page too https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Danijel_Subašić&action=history. I dont want to reverte this anymore and risk blocking but someone needs to deal with the issue.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.9.202.230 (talk) 12:03, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Central Office for Private Transfer Rights, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page German. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Edit removing for August 27
Hi, you removed my edits in article Kincsem. Every change I made were facts from newspapers from that era and replaced legends and conjectures from 20. century. All information was linked to newspapers online archives and could be verified. You threw away the facts and put back speculations... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.52.32.58 (talk) 13:09, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. I reverted your edits because you had removed references without explanation and inserted content that didn't cite a reliable source. You are welcome to make such changes, but please back your additions up with inline references and provide adequate edit summaries that explain your reasoning whenever you remove references. Thanks, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 13:21, 27 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I always thought that the Wikipedia was a serious source of information but I see it's not, if some internet articles from 21st century are more reliable then scans of ORIGINAL newspapers from National Libraries of Austria and Hungary... I put my hands away and finish the story about Kincsem only on my site turf.sk. Good bye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.52.32.58 (talk) 13:48, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The problem is that you didn't cite those sources. You may also want to note that your most recent edits weren't reverted by me, but by someone else. Thanks. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 13:51, 27 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I translate nearly word by word from Hungarian and German and after all my edits I add links to the specific pages in online archives. Waste time... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.52.32.58 (talk) 14:01, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi there, I had previously worked on Kincsem's article and very much appreciate the primary sources. If you like, I can try to reorganize and reword everything to the standards we are working towards with FA/GAs like Secretariat, Man o' War, California Chrome etc. Organizationally, we prefer to do a fairly cursory introduction on the horse's breeding in the Background section, with more detail as warranted in the Pedigree section. This allows us to keep the focus on the featured horse and get to their racing career more quickly. Jlvsclrk (talk) 18:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear Blablubbs
I removed some parts of the article, because there are not reliable sources. In fact Azerbaijanis replaced every single armenian villages names into turkish ones. This misinformation is at a state level as the current azerbaijani president removes absolutely everything that is linked to Armenia and tries to erase everything that belongs to armenian. The azerbaijani wikipedia is full of misinformations and spread this disinformation to others foreign wikipedia pages. There are reliable sources about what I am saying. Thank you for your understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supétudiant (talk • contribs) 12:05, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for your message and your efforts to help improve Wikipedia. The problem with the edits I reverted was that you didn't just remove unsourced content, but you also removed references to sources without providing a (very!) good explanation, which is required in such cases. Please stop doing so immediately'. Which village names are or aren't appropriate or real isn't for me to judge, but not removing references without good reason is a plain and simple policy violation. And just as a general reminder, I want to say that Wikipedia isn't a suitable place for litigating disputes about nationhood. It may also be prudent to reply to ' recent message on your talk page; seeking consensus and communicating with other editors – especially when your edits are challenged – is a central pillar of what makes this Encyclopaedia work. Thank you for understanding. Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 12:23, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for quickly answering me. Sorry if I remove the sources. It was not my intention. Every single villages names of Armenia are changed into turkish-azerbaijani which is misinformation. Some articles are referred to azeri sources, which are not correct. As there is an ongoing war between the two nations, there is also unfortunately a war of misinformation by Azerbaijan and azerbaijani president. Thank you for your understanding. I will reply to Macrakis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supétudiant (talk • contribs) 12:40, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear Blablubbs, I removed this phrase on the article of Alaverdi because there is no source which supports this sentence. In fact, when I want to read the source it becomes "404 error" so I cannot check this information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supétudiant (talk • contribs) 13:57, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * My revert was because of WP:LR, which I also in my edit summary; the policy states that "In general, do not delete cited information solely because the URL to the source does not work any longer.". Please don't remove links just because they 404. Thank you. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 14:06, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Message by SK
Hi, I've never edited before but I was hoping to add all of the new developments with Pinker's social media account that got a lot of attention yesterday. I'm just not sure how to source that. I'm a fellow cognitive linguist and can provide links to the tweets I still have access to (none from today as he blocked almost the entire field from his Twitter). I also have the links to the websites he's been posting about that I'd mentioned. Please let me know if you're able to assist me on this, as my colleagues have been curious why no one outside the fields of linguistics, neuroscience, or philosophy seem to be aware of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.175.206 (talk) 23:25, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I'm afraid twitter won't cut it as a source here, considering Wikipedia's strict rules for writing biographies of living people. We generally only write what has already been reported in reliable sources (cf. WP:OR) so any additions to the article will have to wait until this receives outside coverage – if the matter has already been covered in reliable sources, you are welcome to re-add it with a citation to one. Thank you for understanding and best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 23:34, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, forgive my ignorance on this site but the quote I cited from twitter was also cited in full just the paragraph before. Is that not acceptable? Also, how would I go about citing his public, known actions (still available on his twitter page) without citing where they are? Lastly, how would one go about citing his massive change in behavior on social media? I understand that Twitter isn't a reliable source for, say, a news story, but I'm citing Twitter specifically because that is where his quotes and references are located. Obviously people's social media behavior is mentioned on their pages when relevant or significant. Can you direct me as to how to go about doing that?


 * Oh I found a Vice article referencing it but obviously they, in turn, are citing directly from Twitter. Will that work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.175.206 (talk) 23:41, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
 * A Vice article might work, depending on the specific article and the claim it's backing up. And to reply to your earlier message: The thing with citing twitter in this context is that it's a primary source that the editor citing it will draw personal conclusions from. While those might very well be true, they are hard to verify and easy to dispute – which conflicts with Wikipedia's role as a tertiary resource that relies on news coverage and scholarship for its information (see WP:V, WP:NOTTRUTH). If you're unsure, you may also want to propose the change on the article's talk page first and wait for other editors more familiar with the subject than me to provide their input. Best, — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 23:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

All right, I used Washington Post, Harvard, and Vice; the only citation from a non-news source is the link to the photographs referenced in those articles but hosted on imgur.

RevDel - IEC 60204
Hi there,

Thanks for pointing out the copyright breach - you were right, of course, so I've done it.

Not sure if you added it manually or if it was the revdel request add-on being a little buggy as I've seen before, but the revision ID given wasn't right - it was actually the one after you'd fixed it, as opposed to one of the problematic ones.

Just thought I'd point it out in case a reviewing admin thinks you're raising an incorrect request in the future.

Feeling of political bias
While I am not disputing the content of what was deleted, as it was about the criticism of Meenakshi Jain by Martha Nussbaum which is fine as it is the opinion of the latter. Since the criticsm aspect of the person covered half of the page, I felt that the page looked biased in a certain political inclination. Considering the same is not true of the page of Martha Nussbaum where there is hardly any criticism of her work mentioned. And it is not just applicable to Martha but other historians or sociologist of her political inclination. And add to that Meenakshi is a respected political scientist in India and should have a more dignified profile in wikipedia. The implicit bias that wikipedia has, has been a subject of interest in india recently. Wikipedia's co-founder Mr Larry Sagner has been saying this of wikipedia for a while that there seems to be some implicit bias in the editing of pages. Not that the information is wrong but what information is put on the page seems to be subjective rather than objective. I just deleted it because momentarily I got disgusted by the bias, which for a layman or a casual reader would be hard to spot. Which would give that person a certain view of this person which isn't objective at all. But the disgust was only temporary so I don't really care if you want to restore the page to what it is. I just hope one day Wikipedia would become true to its aim of providing objective information. Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathabar Singh (talk • contribs) 13:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello and thank you for your message . In a way, you are of course correct that the information you deleted is subjective; but it's the subjective, scholarly opinion of a notable scientist and it is properly attributed as such. The page also includes differing views by other scholars who view the matter differently than Nussbaum. If this is a concern about due and undue weight, you may want to address it on the article's talk page or try to add differing views by other reputable scholars – but blanking out an entire section with a single-word edit summary ("biased") is not a good way to go about this because it subverts the deliberative process that the Wikipedia community tries to follow when working on articles. Finally, I want to note that this is not the right venue to address the grievances that you and/or Larry Sanger have with Wikipedia as a whole; feel free to take them to an appropriate discussion board, though. Thank you for understanding. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 14:09, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
