Talk:Mayawati/GA1
Hi Dr.K., I noticed that you've made a lot of edits to Mayawati, so I thought I'd let you know that I've posted some comments on the GA review, if you're interested. Mark Arsten (talk) 14:42, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

The editor commented in the wrong section of the sockpuppet investigation page, but you probably should have moved his comment to the correct section rather than removing it entirely, because it was in effect an admission of guilt. --RL0919 (talk) 05:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Roy Orbison
Dr. K, I believe the info on the Roy Orbison page is incorrect. The last artist to have 2 albums in the top 5 at one time is Paul McCartney, May 1970 his McCartney LP and the Beatles Let it Be LP's were in the top 5 at the same week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnboutet (talk • contribs) 21:46, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you have a reliable reference to support your claim? Currently there is a reliable source in the article which supports another view. If you cannot find a reference to support your edit the current version must remain. References in Wikipedia are like money. You have it, your edits go places; you don't, then they are not accepted. And of course you are not allowed to print your own money, i.e. make-up your own references, they have to be from third-party, reliable sources, i.e. real money from a real bank. It is a simple system actually. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  00:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Channel lineups in Wikipedia
I was going to ask your permission about mass deletion requests on channel lineups, like List of channels on Sky and List of Dish Network channels (United States). However, I realize the amount of channel lineups is heavy. Therefore, I've discussed this in WP:village pump (policy). I need strategies and plans first. --George Ho (talk) 09:49, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You should follow Magog's advice on the subject and as Elen told you about Masem, you can check how his nomination of Articles for deletion/List of AT&T U-verse channels goes to gain some experience. Then you can add your own. But go slowly in the beginning. There is no rush.

Whoops
Didn't mean to revert you &mdash; I thought the Edit Conflict screen was my own from hitting enter twice or something, as has happened to me. That said, is no wikilinks in references something new? I've see newspaper and magazines wikilinked in references for years. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Just checked at WP:VERIFY, WP:CITE and Help:Footnotes and couldn't offhand see any mention of wikilinks. It might very well be somewhere else that I haven't found yet, I know.--Tenebrae (talk) 20:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Don't worry Tenebrae. Please revert at will. You are on my editors' premium list, which gives you cart blanche to revert me at will. As far as wikilinks within references the rule is not to include them. But I am just not sure where the guideline lies. Must be in MOS somewhere. Alternatively just check an FA article or two for any signs of them inside refs.

Re AGF
I never implied you were acting in bad faith, but that you're not handling this as well as possible. At no point was he welcomed, at no point has anyone attempted to summarize and explain site policies guidelines to him... All who have interacted with him so far are partly responsible for his behavior. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:25, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry but I did advise him/her. I told him that accusing editors of being members of the royal family is not allowed and explained to him NPA and AGF. I then got this reply:
 * My advice obviously was not accepted and I got rudely attacked in return. So much for trying to advise a "newbie". However he knew enough to file WP:3O in no time, showing familiarity with our policies, and alleging that his reference to the members of the royal family was in jest. His reply to me as shown above shows no sign or mention of any "jest". Meanwhile he has done this before: where he accuses other editors of being communists or right-wingers. This I saw before I advised him/her of AGF and NPA at Talk:Frederica of Hanover. Δρ.Κ. <sup style="position:relative">λόγος<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-5.2ex;*left:-5.5ex">πράξις 21:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, it's hard to take the family bit seriously. That he went to WP:3O only indicates he was looking for some sort of moderation, and is an indication that he didn't know where WP:DR is.  Unless you have other evidence that he's a sockpuppet or something, we can only assume that he stumbled across the page looking for help.  The other comment was before anyone tried to explain any guidelines and policies to him. At any rate, I left a fuller explanation of different policies and guidelines on his talk page (instead of a reprimand on the article talk page), so I'm leaving this. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:47, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Fine. I have no quarrel with you Ian and I respect your opinion although I disagree. IMO the royal family mention was a WP:BLP violation even if it were intended as a joke. In addition his/her previous edit at Talk:Communist Party of Greece where s/he makes a blanket accusation that the editors are communist party members or right-wingers shows a propensity to attack other editors. Newbie indeed. On a more philosophical point, I believe that the issue is not about being a newbie or not. It is about being considerate of other people and respecting others--period. In other words, if you naturally respect people you are not ever going to make nasty, presumptuous or smart-ass comments about other people, people you don't even know, newbie or no newbie. IMO, being a newbie does not give you a free-pass, or justification, for showing disrespect for other people or throwing epithets at them. It is rather a matter of character.

 * May I kindly request to be left out of controversies regarding the former royal family and other persons I have no knowledge of and no opinion on (see the sockpuppetry case you brought against me, alleging that I'm a sockpuppet of User:SentientContrarian and User:Bougatsa42)? I understand that you are having a disagreement with User:Bougatsa42. Please leave me out of it. I don't know who he (or she) is, I can't pass an opinion on his (or her) actions even though I have come across him (or her) on the Meligalas article. I may have agreed with him (or other persons) on one matter or two. That doesn't mean I agree with them on everything else, much less that I'm the same person as them. Also, I would like to make another request, if it's not too much: you have alleged that my opinions on my profile page are in reference and/or allusion to a certain Takis Fotopoulos. I don't know this person and can't say I'm for or against him, because I don't know what he stands for and what he does; and I don't even know what caused the controversy between his supporters and other users, neither am I interested in it. I'm not interested in controversies regarding a person whose ideas and actions I don't know at all; and I'm even less interested in being connected, especially without my knowledge, with such controversies. Additionally, I think that a look at my user contributions will help you see that what I wrote was inspired by my involvement in the Saint-Gobain article and what I read on its talk page. In a nutshell: I don't know any of the users you allege I am. From what I gather, they're either living in Greece or are Greeks living abroad. I'm not them. Please leave me out of any disagreement you might have with them. If you disagree with a certain action of mine on Wikipedia, please be so kind and talk to me about it and tell me what you think first. I don't remember coming across you in any of the numerous contributions I've made to Wikipedia and I don't remember having had any previous discussion or disagreement with you. If you disagree with something I've done or you think I did something wrong, please let me know and please, leave me out of any disagreements you may have with other Wikipedians, especially on issues and articles about which I know nothing about and have no opinion on. Thank you very much. Moderatelyaverage (talk) 20:33, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I wish it were that easy. But now the situation is out of my hands, until this investigation concludes and the CU checks the data. I added a question for you at the SPI page.

 * Your apology came too late. I'm not sure you handled this issue properly. You could have contacted me and asked where I stand. You didn't. What you did was involve me in a case that I'm not interested in, simply because there was a disagreement between you and another Wikipedian, whom I don't know at all. And again: I don't know who Takis Fotopoulos is. Only today did I hear about him and it was because of the sockpuppetry case you brought. Moderatelyaverage (talk) 20:55, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I have nothing to apologise for. Opening a sockpuppet investigation is not something that you need to apologise for because if there is disruptive editing there must be an investigation. The checkuser then determines if the allegations are correct or not. I just saw that you were uncomfortable and I sympathised with that. Ergo my saying sorry. I never met you before, I just met your edits and they led me to this investigation. That doesn't mean I am insensitive to your plight.

 * Until today, I was minding my own business, happily correcting typos and syntax errors (like every copyeditor does) while idly surfing where curiosity led me, as well as contributing in the Golden Dawn (Greece) article, assisting (and learning from) User:RJFF and other, more seasoned wikipedians. Now, it is an investigation instigated by you because of a disagreement you had with someone else that has caused me this plight. OK now. Let's assume that the CU determines one of the IP addresses I might have used shares some digits with offending users I have no relationship or affiliation with. Then what? Oh, not to mention that you came across my edits, but never bothered to come to my talk page and ask me about them. Did you see that userbox on my page? It says "This user tries to do the right thing. If they make a mistake, please let them know." Did you leave me any feedback? No. Did you tell me about your concerns? No. I'm going to put this reply of mine on the investigation page's comments, just for the record. Moderatelyaverage (talk) 21:11, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't think you understand how this thing works. Contrary to what you say I opened this SPI investigation because of the overlapping edits between the three accounts, not as you falsely accuse me, out of any disagreement I had with one of the accounts. Don't forget, noone likes to be proven wrong. Therefore if I had the slightest doubt that any of the accounts under investigation was incorrectly connected I would not have proposed it.

Chiapas Conflict
I used the pages from Spanish Wikipedia articles that are more developed: there are pages for a different number of clashes during the Conflict with a different number of causalities for parts: i've looked the different pages and counted what reported there.

Era changes
I've added a correction to a talk page message of yours about era changes. WP:ERA doesn't mention strong ties, it says "Do not change the established era style in an article unless there are reasons specific to its content. Seek consensus on the talk page before making the change. Open the discussion under a subhead that uses the word "era". Briefly state why the style is inappropriate for the article in question. A personal or categorical preference for one era style over the other is not justification for making a change." And "Do not use CE or AD unless the date or century would be ambiguous without it". Dougweller (talk) 06:10, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Era
Would it be better/easier if I just delete BC/AD altogether, or would it mislead the reader? It looks like nobody really checks the talk page on certain wiki pages. Lupus Bellator (talk) 07:02, 4 December 2012 (UTC)


 * No. It may seem people don't watch pages but it may not be true. For instance Your change on Hadrian was reverted a few hours after you made it and for the same reason: WP:ERA. Also since you intent to do this on a large scale it definitely needs discussion at the talkpages of the articles. And you should leave each discusion ample time for people to participate as you were told at your talkpage of about a week minimum. And people do watch these pages: Trajan is watched by 87 editors for example.

Greek Cypriot evictions
23x2 has argued that the Greeks fled, rather than being evicted, which was unexpected. If you ever find a source discussing specific incidents of eviction, say an interview with someone who was removed from their house, I'd like to see it (although it'd have to be an English source). Personal curiosity, as all these sources must be taking the info from somewhere. Regards, CMD (talk) 21:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi CMD. In addition to "eviction", many sources also talk about "expulsion", others about "deportation" etc. and others about "mass evictions" so these forcible removals on a large scale are well sourced. I am not sure why there have been additional arguments, other than semantics. There have also been individual cases of forcible evictions going to international bodies and getting judgments against Turkey, these are well known. Also in some of the sources I left at the talkpage of the article there is mention of forcible evictions by Turkish troops. However if I find any press interviews I'll let you know. Best.

Beast (South Korean band)
Hey Doc, always please give at least one warning, of a level of your own choosing--you never know when it might come in handy (at AIV or other places). Then again, I think South Korea's biggest export, after K-pop, is socks. Happy days, Drmies (talk) 06:48, 8 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Doc. Sorry for the misunderstanding but due to the high frequency of these events I have devised a system which saves me from carpet-bombing the place with semi-automated warnings. To wit: I filter out the one-off IPs, i.e. those IPs who do it only once. In lieu of a warning I check the IP origin for socking activity and I tag it appropriately when it is of a certain origin. Same goes for newly-created SPA named accounts. If they add the positions only once they may not get a warning but if they repeat the behaviour that's when the warnings come in. If, despite the warnings, they insist on adding the info, AIV is informed and an SPI may be opened if the evidence is strong enough. So the surveillance system is on, but the warning system is filtered for a more elegant, less taxing on resources but no less effective operation. Take care and Best of the Season to you.

I then realised that my method of tag control might have reached a level of complexity as high as the plot of the series. It was an aha moment. :) Anyway, I saw your cleanup of Chocolat and some of the related comments of a user on your talk. I obviously agree with your cleanup and the reasons behind it, but given my experience with the relentless edit-warring and socking associated with these articles I am not optimistic it will be unchallenged. And don't forget that my cleanup was simply focused on the absurd and unsourced position/DOB etc. tables and was not nearly as ambitious as your cleanup. Yet the resistance I met in terms of socking and edit-warring has been very high. I can only imagine what the reaction to your edits will be, given the scope of your changes.

 * You know, in that overcensored and oversexed industry, where everything is pre-tested in focus groups and ready-made for quick consumption but clean enough for prime-time television, the terminology of "positions" is really quite funny. Especially this maknae--youngest member but with extraordinary importance, like some sort of polar opposite of barrel duty (which probably needs an article). No, I'm not optimistic either, and I do wonder what the point of it is. Many "content" editors don't bother with this shit at all, but I find it so embarrassing to see these huge articles filled with trip, esp. after discovering that a frigging apocryphal gospel like Apocalypse of Thomas is an unverified stub. Happy days Dr. K., Drmies (talk) 03:21, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Just forget it. It is a completely formulaic, assembly-line type of star production. Indistinguishable from any other manufactured product line. It even comes with its own in-universe jargon like "Maknae", "lead/main/sub-rappers", dancers etc. as if they are describing robotic tasks performed by automatons. It is an encyclopaedic nightmare. That few regular editors want to deal with this line of articles makes the problems faced in this area more difficult to solve. Perhaps an implementation of permanent pending revision protection across all of these articles may be necessary. But this needs a centralised approach to the problem and I don't see it coming any time soon. Anyway, Happy days to you too Drmies.

 * I wouldn't be surprised if the new article you mentioned is just another WP:POVFORK. I'll check into that, just give me some time. And far from being annoying you are always very welcome on my talk. Thank you for your excellent comments on these issues. Best of the Season to you. Take  care.

Agia triada
thank you for your contributions for Agia Triada. If there is any way you can add more details to the article that will be great. The article is up for DYK and needs at least 1,500 characters. Its at borderline level and Im worried more information might be deleted. Proudbolsahye (talk) 22:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Proudbolsahye. Thank you for your kind message. I'll look into this and try to help out. Take care. Δρ.Κ. <sup style="position:relative">λόγος<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-5.2ex;*left:-5.5ex">πράξις 22:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I found a neat website we can definitely use to expand the Greek church of Turkey articles on wikipedia. http://www.atlantaserbs.com/learnmore/monasteries_and_towns/Greek-Ort-Constantinople.htm Proudbolsahye (talk) 21:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your edit-warring complaint
Hello Dr.K. Please see the result of Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. I personally think that sanctions under ARBMAC might be considered, if someone refiles the report at WP:Arbitration enforcement. You need not repeat all the information; a link to the evidence may suffice. EdJohnston (talk) 04:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Ed for the courtesy. I replied at 3RRN. Take care. Δρ.Κ. <sup style="position:relative">λόγος<span style="position:relative;bottom:-2.0ex;left:-5.2ex;*left:-5.5ex">πράξις 04:36, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * See also a response by Maurice07 at the noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 02:00, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you Ed. I saw that. This is a non-response. He has not made the commitment you asked of him. He is blaming others as usual and uses personal attacks. He is also continuing his edit-warring on Xanthi and Languages of Europe. I think that a block is needed asap to stop the disruption. I will also be filing an AE report.
