Disambiguation link notification for June 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Allari Bullodu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Venu Madhav. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

thai langauge
hello, i am thai native speaker, and please consider again before undo. i think in thai language's article, in that part is not suitable. for example thai(siamese) is tai langauges, english is germanic languages, and mandarin is chinese languages, so these article like english will not write about deutsch, dutch, swedish, dane, norway etc, and in mandarin's article also no wu, min, cantonese, gan, xiang etc. so in thai's article if write about laos, lanna, southern thai is also not suitable.--Joe Wetwitoo (talk) 18:40, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

 * you must read Talk:Thai language from another discussion carefully before revert back again, furthermore if you read this you will know, these languages like Lanna, Laos, Isan, Southern Thai is another language, not dialects. german and english is also not dialect relationship.

Unexplained reverts

Pending changes protection at Weekend at Bernie's
Hi, I'm confused about the removal of pp-pc1 at Weekend at Bernie's: is there a different sort of pending changes protection that I'm not familiar with?

Borderline Personality Disorder Page
Hi dragonbooster! I believe the image of self harm cuts should be removed from the page for BPD- not only is it unnecessary to depict (as not a visual manifestation of the disorder), it could also be harmful to the health of individuals looking at the page for self-research purposes 150.108.242.121 (talk) 16:33, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive posting on Hamilton and Slavery
Hello. I apologize because I don't know how to use talk pages on here. I removed the section that I did within the post on Alexander Hamilton and Slavery because if you read the linked material it was clearly not a reference to the same Alexander Hamilton (First US Secretary of Treasury). If you read the full newspaper: http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc4800/sc4872/001283/html/m1283-0508.html, this is an announcement of sale for an estate for a "late" Alexander Hamilton taking place in Maryland. As Alexander Hamilton did not own property in Maryland, was not there until 1786 for the Annapolis Convention, and most importantly, was not dead in 1783, this material is irrelevant to the article. "Alexander Hamilton" was a popular name for Scottish descendants at this time and I know of at least three including the Scottish Physician). I am an avid believer that Hamilton owned slaves, but do not believe that this information strengthens the article. I had intended to write that information within the text of the article, but it seemed inappropriate as the incorrect source should eventually be removed for article flow.ADotChurch (talk) 16:53, 10 December 2016 (UTC)ADotChurch

Suriya ...Wrong info???
Hi!!!

The 36th film of Suriya which is directed by Selvaraghavan has been officially announced in his twitter account. Therefore it is not poorly referenced. You may check it if you want. Also the 37th film is more likely to be with Director Gautham Menon. There have been talks however. Jack Spy (talk) • 20:23, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Oliver!
Hi. You just undid the edit I made to the page for Oliver! (film), in which I removed the link to the article for Reviewing the Situation. That link is to an album by Sandie Shaw, which has nothing to do with the song from the musical film 'Oliver!'. There is no article for the song from the musical. 94.200.130.254 (talk) 09:44, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Whoops, looks like we stepped on each other's toes. Weird that my edit, three minutes later, went through with no edit conflict warning. I thought about removing my reply, then decided it's best if we leave both replies in place, since mine addressed the how-to aspect and yours dealt with the specific content. Cheers!

Your speedy deletion marking of Bernardo Pascual
I just undid the speedy deletion tag you placed on Bernardo Pascual, as the article did not meet the criteria for that speedy deletion. The article did indeed have content - a single sentence stating what the subject was and something of possible significance that he has done. That's well more than enough to get it past the speedy deletion tag you put on there. If you have any questions about this, let me know. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:01, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message. Particularly the A3 tag should not be used within the first few minutes after the article is created. I was patrolling the recent changes and came to this article and tagged it. I`ll exercise caution in speedy deletion tagging in the future. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER   ★  15:31, 8 January 2017 (UTC).

Formal edit requests
Good morning, I am hoping that you may be able to help and respond to my query as a matter of urgency. On Sunday, January 8, at 17:22hrs, I submitted a formal edit request in order to correct some factual errors on the following semi-protected page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karren_Brady I received a response five minutes later from a Wikipedia user named Arjayay, who explained that my request was denied as the request had not been submitted using the correct process. I subsequently re-submitted the request correctly, plus a second request, but have since received no further response, despite leaving messages on the Talk pages of Arjayay and another user Egghead06, who I believe was responsible for originally switching the page to semi-protected. The factual corrections submitted were supported by links to several reliable sources confirming their authenticity, and I would be grateful if someone could contact me as soon as possible to confirm when the requests will be processed. Many thanks Wikipedia User: Spen79

Why did you replace my edit on the Ben Cline wikipedia page?

I rarely use Wikipedia after the step where an edit is made. i.e. i dunno how to interact on these talk pages. But I made an appropriate change to an article on Senator Chuck Grassley and you changed it back (to the wrong date). Is this automated? The section is about the 2016 election, but the quote is from last month, in 2017, when the Russian hacking was being discussed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Grassley#Russian_interference_in_the_2016_U.S._Presidential_Election I changed it back to "In February 2017, Grassley said that while Russian..."

Anon. on Talk:Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro
Hello. Just to let you know, the two IP addresses on the talk page are the same person. I've been tracking this editor for more than a month as he changes IPs and performs edits on various Martin Scorsese-related articles. His editors mostly amount to POV-pushing, hence his edit request on the talk page. He is singularly obsessed with the "greatest films ever" line, pushing it over and over on various articles. He's someone to keep an eye on. Cheers! ---  The Old Jacobite  The '45  12:26, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Daniel Day- Lewis: 16 March 2017 Hi- I noticed you reverted a couple of minor corrections I made to the Daniel Day-Lewis page. As per wiki guidelines, a famous British person's page should use BE spelling. The other was a missing 's' which I added, making it consistent with the rest of the instances in the same article, and correct. It says 'Day' Lewis's' several times in the article and the incorrect 'Day-Lewis' ' once. 92.207.218.180 (talk) 09:33, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

A1 explicitly doesn't cover non-english material.

Editing, 4 tildes
Thanks for the message. I couldn't work out how to do that, assumed it would sort itself but it didn't, lol.

What I'd really like to know is why the editor is so prolixed. And the visual editor seems to be even worse.

I've actually been making the odd edit here and there for a few years now, but the difficulty of working out what to put where has put me off doing a lot.

Anyway, thanks again for the tip. I'll try and remember about the tildes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiggsy (talk • contribs) 18:00, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
I must say thank you for your kind words. I live in the USA and this was my first edit. Not sure if I submitted it correctly but, I gave it my best effort. For such a young age you have many great accomplishments. I am currently disabled due to a car accident that lead to receiving mold tainted injections in my back. I have lost most everything because I am unable to work. Just making a sandwich for lunch causes me great pain. I have a strong passion for photography. Unfortunately, I am limited in what I can do, in a sense, doctors stole my passions away from me due to greed & corruption. I enjoy reading Wikipedia, I prefer Wikiwand as it is much easier for me to read. I must tell you, visiting India has been on my bucket list, but I don't think I will have that opportunity. It is a great pleasure meeting you and I pray for prosperity & peace to you and your family. Thank you for reaching out. Keeper1029 (talk) 16:32, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Scottish local elections, 2017
There seems to be a dispute about this page.

I've tried to amend it to ensure that Wikipedia reflects history rather than fantasy, but the result was that the top item about SNP results is now blank. I suspect that is because there is an extra level of admin on the page, but it might just be my poor edit skills.

In my view it's important that Wikipedia does not become a mouthpiece for BBC propaganda. It's fine to include their notional results further down but at the top it should be showing actual results. We shouldn't be giving out false information. Tiggsy (talk) 15:40, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Panned
H DB, re: this, I know that you were reverting a series of edits, but just an FYI, generally the film editing community as well as the television community eschews hyperbolic descriptions like "panned" and "flop" and such. "Mixed to positive" and "mixed to negative" are also despised across a number of WikiProjects. (I'm not certain how well-versed you are in these communities specific preferences, so forgive me if my tone comes across as too instructive.) Regards and a good weekend to you, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:45, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
 * At first I thought of reverting to the last clean version, but there are some good faith edits in the middle. I undid the unsourced gross changes first then I wasn't sure of the whether the film received negative or positive response, seemed like a random change. So I just restored the statement of the last clean revision. Thankyou for the message. Have a good weekend. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER   ★  07:47, 24 June 2017 (UTC).

Curious About Your User Name.
I take it your username on here is a homage to the Dragon Booster tv show?FusionLord (talk) 00:44, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are right. As you can see from my userpage, I'm a fan of the Television Series Dragon Booster. I used to watch it when it was aired on Jetix in 2005. My other favorite shows on Jetix were Power Rangers S.P.D., Power Rangers Ninja Storm, and Get Ed. regards, DRAGON BOOSTER   ★  07:57, 24 June 2017 (UTC).

Edit Inquiry - Lana Del Rey entry
Dear Dragoon Booster,

I have just received your message that my suggestion regarding the Wikipedia entry of Lana Del Rey has been undone. I would hate to bother you with this but I just wanted to add a scholarly article on the work of Lana Del Rey into the entry. Given the fact that there is almost no scholarly reflection on her work so far (same for Yoann Lemoine who made the music video) and that the article has been published in a prestigious peer-reviewed journal, I believe that the source might be not only interesting but also helpful for anyone interested in the work of Lana Del Rey.

Here is the reference and the links:

Jirsa, Tomáš. Ascension of the Pop Icon: The Creativity of Kitsch (Not Only) in a Music Video by Lana Del Rey Moravian Journal of Literature and Film 6, no. 1 (Spring 2015): 5–28.

Thanks for the Welcome, And in response to "Why?".
Hello DRAGON BOOSTER,

I wanted to add a new reference to the first line of Maryam Mirzakhani page where it says "was an Iranian [5][6][1] mathematician". A reference, currently numbered as [58], is already mentioned in the page:. This one, I think, is a better reference compared to [1] which is old, and even to [5] and [6], which are articles in BBC and NYT. I suggest changing [5][6][1] to [1][5][6][58].

Thanks, PirouzZ

Please run at RfA
Hi DragoonBooster i am considering to nominate you for adminship as you have enough experience with experience additionally you are a great vandal fighter you can reduce the backlog at WP:Vand, as you effectively deals with vandalism plus you leave a polite note for explaining concept of vandalism on Wikipedia to the new comers. I really encourage you to run for Rfa. If you want to reply me you can come on my talk page or leave a ping here.

Space Elevator
First of all, thank you very much for your warm and gracious welcome! I have been a near-daily user of Wikipedia since I discovered it years ago.

I happened upon the page titled "Space elevator" today. I was astounded that there was not a single criticism of the concept. It is fundamentally flawed to the point that it could not happen on Earth but could possibly be used on the Moon or Mars. I am not sure how to address the issue. I am a long time amateur astronomer (over 50 years) and hold an old Bachelor of Science degree. I have no formal training in aerospace and am by no means an expert. My criticisms of the concept are purely from common sense and I have not seen them advocated by anyone else anywhere else. I have commented about the subject a number of times on sites concerned about such matters and have noticed that the ongoing chatter praising the virtues of the concept soon stop dead in their tracks. If ever there were a concept that qualified as "pie in the sky" this is it.

My main perceived flaws in the concept are threefold, but I am sure they are not the only ones. I can state them briefly here but would think a more detailed explanation would be needed and could certainly be provided.

Firstly, I have never seen any detailed analysis of what it would take to anchor such a structure to provide a useful device. The anchoring of the uplifting forces required seem to be ignored in any discussion and for such a thing to be worthwhile constructing it would need to be extremely well anchored since the forces involved are immense, and grow greatly with the size of the payload.

Secondly, most discussions of materials to be used speak of carbon nanotubes or other substances that also happen to be electrical conductors. Basic electrodynamics tells us that a conductor moving through a magnetic field will give rise to a current. A very long conductor (over 50,000 km in length) moving through the Earth's magnetic field would create a HUGE current that would have to be handled or dissipated in some manner. Perhaps it could be used to power the lifting but it would still be a major problem if ever the scheme was not in use.

Lastly, and most damning of all, is that it is not a question that something in orbit may hit the tether. It is a matter of fact that EVERYTHING in orbit will hit it eventually, with the exception of geostationary satellites. I doubt that mankind would want to abandon low, medium and high Earth orbits except for geosynchronous ones in exchange for this technology.

It surprises me that these points are not obvious to all except the few charlatans that see a career and endless grant money exploring the concept when it is a non-starter from the outset. The case of using a variation of the concept that dangles a tether from the lunar surface through the L1 LaGrange point between the moon and the Earth would not face quite the challenges as a space elevator based on the Earth's surface. The anchoring problem would still be significant but the electrical problem would not and the few satellites in orbit around the moon at any given time would most likely be able to accommodate such an obstacle.

As I have said, I have no sources to quote and cannot claim to be an expert in the field. I would appreciate any insight or advice as to how to proceed. The billions of dollars proposed to pursue the Earth-based space elevator should not be wasted when there are other more worthy uses for the resources that would be squandered. The Wikipedia entry as it stands makes it seem that it is just a matter of time before this technology is deployed.
