Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Springfield, Missouri, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.

Misuse of Twinkle
Your recent revert at Human rights in Asia with Twinkle was a misuse of Twinkle. You used the standard "unexplained removal of content" when both an edit summary and the talk page were used. "Anti-vandalism tools, such as Twinkle, Huggle, and rollback, should not be used to undo good-faith changes unless an appropriate edit summary is used." - WP:TWINKLEABUSE 2601:601:180:1180:9C93:6AC5:FE1B:6B1F (talk) 05:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Spamming baseless warnings
What do you mean by this? I had explained my edit here. Don't leave baseless warnings and find a better way to boost your edit count. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:40, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Abusing rollback to re-insert POV edits
Stop this. You are lending support to a disruptive editor, who couldn't get his POV on Articles_for_deletion/Indian_Police_brutality_amid_lockdown. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikihounding by making poor reverts
Stop this too. While Wikihounded is surely allowed when the person in question is disruptive, it is not allowed for reverting constructive edits. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

@27.57.186.89The incident happened, and there is a citation both for it's incidence and for it being criticised. It is legitimate to be left on the page. As dor the incidence on Yaakov LitzmanI have changed it back to an accurate title. You are welcome to add a section on his political beleifefs, but the section that you changed the title of contains information on reactions to him, not his politcal beleifs on the whole. Please review WP:NPOV–DMartin 03:47, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You have no business into these pages, and since other editors of these controversial articles are not interested in reverting then you MUST STOP wikihounding too by using frivolous reasons. See WP:NOCRIT, POV sections like "controversy" are not allowed. I only renamed it to a more accurate title and removed on other article, which has been also removed by other editor. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:49, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * WP:NOCRIT Actually specifies that "Controversy" and "Criticism" sections are allowed in ceratin circumstances. Also, per WP:Ownership, "All Wikipedia content—articles, categories, templates, and other types of pages—is edited collaboratively. No one(person or group of people), no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page." Anyone has a right to edit the page.  –DMartin  03:52, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It is not ownership since I am only re-inserting an edit justified by policy. Where as you are just wikihounding and spamming warnings for boosting your edit count. You don't seem to be caring about the quality of the articles which is getting buried in your adventure. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:53, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @27.57.186.89 The "other views" as you have added it seems to be an acceptable compromise on the section title. –DMartin  03:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you. 27.57.186.89 (talk) 03:56, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Eliza Taylor, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.245.245.79 (talk) 23:58, 2020 May 1 (UTC)
 * @1.245.245.79 Please do not misuse warning tempaltes, one edit you disagree with does not warrant a level 4m warning.  You should review WP:UWLEVELS–DMartin  04:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

May. 02nd
Dear sir, May I know why does you removed the profile photo from the article Ramesh Singh Kushwaha ? Respond please Thanks Sturdyankit  (chat) 09:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I actually intended to delete something else from the infoxobox, and must have deleted the image by mistake. I have put it back.  My Apologies.  –DMartin  18:09, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Jamie Kimmett
When I reported the image removal issues with the SPA, I wasn't simply asking for someone to add the image back |like you did. That has been done in a repeating loop over the past many months. I was requesting a more permanent solution involving admin action. I'm too close to the dispute as the photographer, potentially as pushing "my" image onto the article. I was thinking assess whether to either 1) someone beside myself to either give a final warning to the vandal or give a shorter length block based on my warnings, or 2) protect the article from vandalism. It looks like a one-on-one battle right now. I gave all the UTM warnings. Thank you for looking the situation over and volunteering here!  Royal broil  12:33, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello thanks for your recent contribution
Can you please explain me what does Notoc'means Easytostable (talk) 02:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It prevents the table of contents from appearing, as they are unecessary in such a short article. –DMartin  02:19, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot Easytostable (talk) 02:20, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

hello there is a typo in the four loko page under the fda restrictions tab In which it only says Four. Not the full Four Loko.

Motion
Hi Dmartin969, would you please explain how motion is not the mode of existence of matter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manoje.john (talk • contribs) 05:44, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Washington gubernatorial election
Hi,

I removed one single poll on that page because it’s useless junk that this one person is dead set on keeping. None of the candidates featured considered running in the race or are well known. Smith0124 (talk) 07:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I was recent changes patrolling, saw a flagged edit without a sumamry that was just deletion and got a bit hasty. My bad.  –DMartin  07:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * It’s ok. Have a nice day/night! Smith0124 (talk) 07:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Saint Sophia, Kyiv Edits
What's the problem here with following the government's requested transliteration into English? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.185.234 (talk) 22:59, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * The policy WP:commonname states that only the most common name should be used to refer to something, even if the official name is different. –DMartin  23:02, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Your analysis of the policy WP:commonname is far too simplistic and the policy does not state that 'only' the most common name should be used. How have you determined the putative 'commonness' of the 'Kiev' spelling. Nota bene: '... it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used.' Your conclusion is misstated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.185.234 (talk) 23:49, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * The main article for Kiev uses that spelling and there has been a lengthy discussion on that article's talk page on which name to use. There is consensus there to use Kiev. If you wish to change this standard I suggest you start there.  –DMartin  23:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * I suggest you note that both spellings are used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.185.234 (talk) 23:56, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * That is noted on the main article for Kiev. –DMartin  23:58, 7 June 2020 (UTC)


 * And so where is the issue and why your perjorative disgnation of my edits as 'vandalism?' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.185.234 (talk) 00:00, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Invitation to RedWarn
Hello, Dmartin969! I noticed you have been using Twinkle and was wondering if you'd like to beta test my new tool, RedWarn, specifically designed to improve your editing experience.


 * Easy to use - Unlike other tools, RedWarn uses easy to interpret icons and simple summaries for common actions, reducing both learning and reading times.
 * Supports rollback and rollback-like functionality - Unlike Twinkle, RedWarn supports both rollback and rollback-like functionality for users will rollback permissions. This decreases waiting times during rollbacks.


 * Making life easier on the battlefield - Ever been in the middle of a vandalism war or campaign, frantically reloading the history page to see a new edit? No more! Enabling RedWarn's "Alert on Change" feature will automatically send you to the latest edit when a new edit occurs - and if you're working on something else, RedWarn will send you a notification while the tab is still open in the background. No time wasted.
 * Rollback previews - If you're ever worried about the changes a rollback will make, especially in the case of reverting good faith edits, you can click the rollback preview button to preview the difference a rollback will make, with the version that will be restored on the right, and the latest revision on the left.


 * Always the latest revision - RedWarn will automatically redirect you to the latest revision if the rollback is no longer for the latest revision - no more frustrating errors.


 * Fast - RedWarn can automatically select a warning level, and, on vandalism and content removal rollbacks, automatically select a warning template.


 * Built on your feedback - RedWarn is receiving frequent feature additions and changes based on your feedback. If there's something you don't like, or would like to see, just say!


 * and many more features ...but I don't want to fill your userpage.

RedWarn is currently in use by over 35 other Wikipedians, and feedback so far has been extremely positive. If you're interested, please see see the RedWarn tool page for more information on RedWarn's features which I haven't listed here. Otherwise, feel free to remove this message from your page. If you have any further questions, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. Your feedback is much appreciated! Ed6767  talk!  00:27, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello I'd like to ask for your advice.
Hello I'd like to ask for your advice.

Related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Rajmaan

I'm sorry to bother you. But I'm so immature that I need your help.

Interracial marriage

The current version of this document about Latin America and China is contributed by blocked users. Above all, this version is full of false information.

1. I opened the debate. 2. but only improper user attacks or disrupts it. 3. Sockpuppet investigations 4. The debate is already nullified. ‎

It's a vicious circle. Blocked users prevent their contributed documents from being deleted.

What should I do?? Bablos939 (talk) 10:17, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Thank you for seeking help, you did the right thing. It looks like another user has already reverted it to the version from before the vandalism.  For future reference, it is almost always ok to revert the edits of a banned user(just make sure you specify this in the edit summary). I've placed a welcome message on your talk page with a lot of helpful links, but I especially recommend the Introduction to Wikipedia and Five pillars of Wikipedia.  If you need any more help you can place  on a talk page, and it will send me a notification. Cheers!–DMartin  02:59, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for your help.Bablos939 (talk) 09:36, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello I'd like to ask for your advice -2-
hello.

Thanks to you, I gained strength and reopened the discussion.
 * [] 'This document contains false information about Chinese marriage.'

Blocked user appear to be constantly active in wikipedia. I'll report to you when he shows up in talk page again.

I have a very important question.

The current version document(Interracial_marriage) was restored by a blocked user 'Buzinezz '. []

He hopes his lies will continue to remain on Wikipedia.

Can I delete it first and then proceed with the discussion?

I'm sorry to always make you tired. thank you. Bablos939 (talk) 15:18, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

July 2020
@Dmartin969 Hello Dmartin, there's this user called Timwikisidemen, who you told just last month to stop disruptive editing. However, that user has continued disruptive editing, edit warring, adding fancruft and original research. If you look at his talk page, he has been told to stop doing this many times. Just this day alone, he has reverted 17 edits on KSI discography. He keeps adding songs in the singles table on KSI discography that were never released as singles, neither for streaming nor digital download. It also comes under poorly sourced information since the sources he added to those songs doesn't classify them as singles either. Moreover, he's clearly a fan since he keeps adding fancruft to the article like adding "Bronze certification", a thing that doesn't even exist. Even the source he added to 'bronze certification' doesn't even contain the word 'bronze' in it, its straight up original research, he just wants the album to show a certification even though it doesn't have any yet. When I tried removing original research from that article, he accused me of having multiple accounts, even though I don't even have an account yet. I edit only occasionally & edit pages that are not that popular, hence I didn't felt the need to have an account, I just edit through IPs that change periodically

In short, I tried to explain him to stop edit warring and stop adding fancruft and original research, however he keeps reverting my edits. So, can you explain it to him ? 2405:205:1581:2029:A15:9FDD:1C70:74D4 (talk) 13:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for continuing to revert their vandalism. You can report the edit warring yourself at the Administrators' noticeboard, as this is something that should be dealt with by an admin.  Let me know if you need any help filing the report, but it should be filed by the person dealing with the disruptive editing.  –DMartin  01:15, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Explanation.
I wish I thought it would be necessary to add every concise plot in the whole film, but would that alternate ending from Blu-ray not be allowed? I just wanted to do something because I liked information, and I liked to add something so it could be more opening and informative. ._. ROBLOXGamingDavid (talk) 06:04, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Your edit negledcted to include any citations for verification, which is why it was removed –DMartin 06:06, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe i would have looked for citations beforehand, but it is quite hard to find (as a Filipino) because all of these lead to a YouTube video (which I dont want to put that in the citations for Copyright infringement/violations. Please note I'm not that smart for finding anything on the internet. However, would Reddit count as a citation verification?ROBLOXGamingDavid(talk) 06:09, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It actually is possible to cite a video, and this would not be a copyright violation as long as the video itself is from a legitmiate source. I also recommend you check out Referencing for beginners, which will hep you get starated with citations in general.  –DMartin  06:13, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Revert
Sorry, but why the revert? The original text calls Revolution - democratic. Can you name any revolution, which is democratic? Democracy means that a valid voting is held upon entire population, but revolution is a violent break of the existing law system in order to carry changes through direct (usually violent) conflict with existing government system. 89.0.125.95 (talk) 05:09, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The article also seems to mention an election, which you removed.  You are welcome to contiue discussing the wording on that article's talk page, but to my eyes, it looks like an WP:NPOV violation. –DMartin 05:13, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Nah, I didn't remove the election, I removed "democratic" word in close proximity to Orange Revolution, giving impression that revolution or pressure resulting from it was democratic. This is because, the protesting crowd itself can't represent nor substitute accurate measurement of opinions such as proper voting. In addition, the President was already chosen prior to Orange Revolution, its the Revolution that caused unlawful new round, that resulted in different outcome and different President - yet that part is for Constitutional Court to decide in the end. The elections themselves, regardless which, are not affected by this - they are within the law/democracy. 89.0.125.95 (talk) 05:28, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Help
Hey Dmartin969, I'm an idiot who has no idea how Wikipedia works. ClueBot NG has therefore rightly rolled back my edit here to your version again: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_George_Floyd_protests_outside_the_United_States&oldid=968756014 which it is definitely correct to have done so. But I think you can understand my intention here. I tried for a month to put Bern on the map by editing the talk page to ask someone who knows how to do it but it doesnt seem to have worked. Can you please do it or edit the appropriate talk page to request it? I'm not sure what to do — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:169:539:0:4CFD:36DE:4317:6752 (talk) 09:29, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Critical response?
Updating rotten tomatoes info is constructive any way you look at it. As far as the billing block, don't we go by the poster? Thank you. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 04:53, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I believe you may want to look at the manual as well. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 04:55, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I assume this is in reference to Elliot(né Ellen) Page. AFAIK there is no offical policy, but I interpret WP:Commonname as meaning the individual's current name should be used.  I think using their proper name with the footnote explaing the change should be used as a compromise.  –DMartin  04:58, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * It is policy. Every other film page does it. Under the cast section it's fine and probably better to use his current name. But the billing block in the box always goes by the poster. I also think it should be noted how he's credited in the cast section for reader clarity but that's a separate conversation. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 05:02, 24 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I think a lot of Wikipedia readers won't access footnotes and just be confused but a footnote is fine if that's how most editors wish to proceed. Again though, I've seen so many issues arise over the cast list in the opening box and every time it gets reverted to the poster billing. Samurai Kung fu Cowboy (talk) 05:09, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Unconstructive edits?
I explained why enrollment was 3, the school has indeed shutdown, seen if you look into their google maps, enrollment should be 0, but the special needs department remains, these were not disruptive edits. Halsing Khan Ahmed (talk) 05:14, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I can find no evidence that the school has closed. –DMartin  05:16, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Here is the evidence: https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enCA800CA800&sxsrf=ALeKk030zoYMnsvvjhPsskdfbLFOkSgWbA:1608786887246&q=Beaconsfield+High+School&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgecS4j5Fb4OWPe8JSWxgnrTl5jXEtIxdXcEZ-uWteSWZJpZAXFxuUJcfFJ8Wln6tvYJyRYVIUr8EgxcOFxJdSUOLi3ftbWFp0T9nPy1pCnJ4fnW_6WJ70EVzdtPX4QQt2P6VgI_ddl6adY3MUZACCjtWhDlKaWkJc7J7FPvnJiTmCO4vVlvLapNprCXNxhCRW5Ofl51YKejExHHjw_729EicnUJNC8vf39loMTftWHGJj4WAUYOBZxCrhlJqYnJ9XnJaZmpOi4JGZnqEQnJyRn58DAAcLXDPfAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiWv7uX7uXtAhVEnFkKHRJ-BLkQ6RMwHHoECBIQAg&biw=1920&bih=1007 Halsing Khan Ahmed (talk) 05:18, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * That is not a reliable source. That is a google search for the school's name.  –DMartin  05:19, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Appologies I attempted to send their google maps, which clearly states they are closed, does this link suffice? https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Beaconsfield+High+School/@45.4294498,-73.8647747,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4cc9394cd943f149:0x4e0738c1c7b582ab!8m2!3d45.4294461!4d-73.862586 You have banned me, yet I have provided evidence supporting my updates, I will report you if you do not enforce the rules properly
 * That does not show that it is closed, and even if it did it is not a reliable source. A relaible source would be something like an official statment or news article annoucning the school's closure.  Might the school be closed temporarily? If so, then that might be worth mentioning in the article, but it does not warrant the school being referred to in the past tense.  –DMartin  05:25, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * For the record, you have not been banned and I do not have the power to ban you. However, if you continue nonconstructive editing you could be reported to administrators and banned.  –DMartin  05:27, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It does show it is closed, and secondly it is, as you must have proof you own the school to change that. I feel you aren't quite familiar with google maps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Halsing Khan Ahmed (talk • contribs) 00:27, 2020 December 24 (UTC)
 * I do understand your confusion, as to my knowledge the page was raided earlier today. After all, the school shut down therefore the students would feel emboldened to commit such actions. Halsing Khan Ahmed (talk) 05:34, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

UPDATE: It seems that the google maps page was vandalized, I will cease any further attempts to edit the page, cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Halsing Khan Ahmed (talk • contribs) 05:38, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Suggestion for Hengdian Group
Hi, Adakiko, hope you are well. Please forgive me if I leave the message in a wrong place.I saw you undid the edits to Hengdian Group as they appear to be promotional.Can I have your suggestion on the below contents which I want to add on Hengdian Group’s history?

In 2003, Xu Yong’an, Xu Wenrong’s son, became the president of Hengdian Group.

The sources link I am going to provide is from Forbes on its FIFTH pharagraph.

Please kindly suggest. Looking forward to getting your reply.Thanks.
