RE: Revert of Dining philosophers problem
Hello Ducknish, in regards to your recent revert of my edit which removed the "Gladiatorial Solution" section of the Dining philosophers problem, I would like to profess that my edit was not vandalism. The section, which was originally added in revision 484097325 by anonymous User:128.187.97.20, appears to be a ridiculous joke at second glance or at the very least a violation of the original research policy. Thank you. --24.83.19.10 (talk) 23:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Not at all, misunderstandings happen. Best of luck on your vandal-fighting crusade. --24.83.19.10 (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Your rollback request
Hello Ducknish, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (such as by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see New admin school/Rollback. Good luck.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Black hair, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage newer editors. Please read NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 02:41, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 5
Hi. When you recently edited Tony Hulman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hilton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Another one of your vandal warnings
I think you should stop. Also, I think you should look at edit histories before you hit rollback. Please look again at Welsh Valley Middle School, after which I expect you to apologize for your incorrect level-3 warning, or I'll ask for your rollback to be revoked. Happy editing, 66.168.247.159 (talk) 03:26, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Heads up
Just wanted to let you know about this since you seem to be fighting the good fight at this article too. Thanks for your help so far, -Thibbs (talk) 05:11, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Note
Hi Ducknish, I had this comment on my talk page from 66.168.247.159 about a couple of reverts you made. They pointed me to this and this, both of which I agree were not vandalism and should have been reverted manually rather than with rollback or Huggle (66.168.247.159 was removing content that other editors had already removed before, or in case of the Welsh school they were removing something they removed before with a longer explanation; as such, this is clearly not an obvious vandal). 66.168.247.159 has also made the effort to discuss both their edits and yours, and when someone does that it is almost always proof that they are not a vandal. I won't revoke your rollback rights for this, but if you do make similar reverts in the future, that will lead to having them removed (and not necessarily by me, for that matter, and I know some admins who would have revoked your rollback tool without any sort of prior notice). This all being said, I hope it doesn't come to that. Best. Acalamari 09:33, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you Acalamari, except for one thing: they shouldn't have been reverted in the first place. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 14:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Notice
You should have been notified by the user, but you are being mentioned here. Dennis Brown (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Tip
Rollback is handy, and can get you in trouble. I use the old fashioned undo feature or the restore feature in any instance where there is any doubt about it being a content dispute or good faith mistake rather than obvious vandalism. As a matter of fact, I try to use rollback only for times when I need to do more than a single edit of reversion, as undo is just as good to revert a single edit. That is what rollback is really for, to erase all recent contribs of a vandal, not for every day reverting. Same with templating. If it isn't VERY obvious vandalism, I just "undo" and skip the template. I've just seen it bite too many people when they make good faith but bad judgement reverts with the tools. If you have to err, err on the side of caution. Besides, most real vandals aren't going to read the templates anyway. If they do keep vandalising and it is obvious, I can always go back and attach for each instance, level 1, level 2, etc. and that is only for the purpose of AIV blocking. If you haven't checked out WP:Twinkle yet, do so. Another automated tool that can get you in trouble. ;) Dennis Brown (talk) 01:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! I know that you recently flagged the edit I made on Danforth Collegiate & Technical Institute page regarding the recent fire.

AFD
I see both you and Giant Snowman voted "Delete" on the Russian footabll AFDs. Do you genuinely think Georgiy Glazkov a former manager of the Russian nationsl yeam is not notable? I think its sad you were willing to dismiss them all because of the fact they were short stubs. Especially as you have worked so diligently on lesser notable English players. I've expanded half of those at the AFD and will try to epand all of the those listed. I find it concerning that you evidently didn't even bother to assess them all individually but were frightened by them being useless stubs. Most of the articles were former players for Spartak Moscow which is a leading Russian team.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:56, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Help for newbie
Hi, i just created my first wiki page.

I was watching the news and the economist Diane Swonk came on. As i do frequently when i come across something or someone i know nothing about, i googled her, looking for a Wikipedia article.

When i didn't find one i decided to create one. I used her bio at: http://www.mesirowfinancial.com/economics/swonk/default.jsp as a reference, however, due to not having a clue what i'm doing, a message in red appeared mentioning ref tags and that although it appeared to have a reference, it didn't... or something.

Can you help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raven Duskstrider (talk • contribs) 23:39, 29 July 2012 (UTC)


 * When you add inline citations to an article, there needs to be a reflist tag in the References section. You put one of these in by placing "reflist" in double {} brackets. I've added one to the article, so you can look there to see how it works. Ducknish (talk) 23:44, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

Hey Ducknish
As for Claire McCaskill and her involvement with KCIR closing, do a search on any of the automotive racing boards, and you will find that she owns land near the track that shes been trying to sell but no one wanted to buy it because they didn't want to deal with the noise of the track. Now, if you were a politician and you had the ability to run a business out of town to sell your land, do you really think you'd let the local newspaper or news reporters in on your dirty tactics? Of course not. So yeah there's no news reports that give this info which I'm sure that's really what you're looking for. But there's TONS of info on any racing board surrounding the quick fly by night closing of KCIR, in which it doesn't take a genius to figure out, it was a political move. And if you want to see if Claire owns any land, a trip to the county tax payers office will confirm this. But then again I'm sure you must be a McCaskill supporter because you are ignorant to the truths, so let it be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.133.165.91 (talk) 15:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * In an interesting twist, I am in fact not a McCaskill supporter. Far from it. But you can't just go adding uncited information to articles, especially to biographies of living people. If you would like to support your addition with a source that meets WP:VERIFIABILITY then we would be happy to have it. If there's no reliable source stating it, then it's too dubious a piece of information to risk having on a biographical page. Ducknish (talk) 15:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, this is wolfie the oe wolf and i am here to ask you to lift the speedy deletion of my page Mr ideran. I have worked tiredlessly on this for over a week, being new to Wikipedia, and i wanted to write a page on a mentor, a father figue if you will, and pay my respects. This is not just some botched information I scrambled together, this is actual information i gathered from students and teachers. The entire of high school of Oswego East would be just let down if this page was removed. And i promise you, there will be no lewd comments put on this page, only the factual information, from an honest, aspiring writer, student. Even though some of the information is sometimes hard to believe, you must take my word that it comes either directly from lessons or conversations with Steve. If this article is not deleted then it will only grow and prosper for its time on Wikipedia.

University of Florida Taser incident
Hello, I am recommending keeping this article, and have brought to the deletion debate quite a few references in newspapers, magazines and books discussing the event in detail over a period of five years. I respectfully request that you take a look at what I've found, and reconsider your decision. Thank you.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  03:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Criticism of Google
Hi, thanks for giving me an explanation. I'm still relatively new to making edits on wikipedia. The reason that I have a non-neutral point of view is that I feel very passionately about the adsense program, because I recently had a lot of money, >50% of my adsense revenue disqualified without any explanation, and I feel royally scammed. I've tried contacting google many times, but I never receive a response. I'm not sure if one can cite themselves as a valid source, but I doubt it. I don't think wikipedia has a place for anecdotal evidence, but it would be helpful if I could provide evidence of an argument from personal experience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.10.254.231 (talk) 04:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to edit that article as much as you want, however Wikipedia has a policy that prohibits the inclusion of original research, personal anecdotes included. Anything you include must have Verifiability, meaning that it is supported by reasonable outside sources. If you need any help with anything, feel free to ask here on my talk page.

Login VSI
Hi Ducknish, thank you for your effort to look into my contribution of Login VSI. At the delete discussion page you mentioned: "The references don't exactly seem to be coverage of the subject as significant in its own right". I have seen Login VSI a lot of times in technical white papers by different vendors in the desktop virtualization space such as Citrix, Cisco, Dell, HP and IBM. I thought that a reference to their white papers would indicate that Login VSI is recognized by these vendors as a notable VDI load generator and therefor shows significance as Wikipedia article. To help clarify this, I now also added page numbers to the references to show where the functionality of Login VSI is described. If you do not agree that these white papers shows significance, please let me know what I need to add as well. Thank you very much! Frontaal (talk) 10:46, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Do the sources actually do more than simply describe the program being used? It seems to me that Login VSI is not the focus of the sources, and really gets only a passing mention. Significant coverage is needed to verify notability. Ducknish (talk) 11:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean. Page 68 until 74 of the Cisco white paper are dedicated to the functionality of Login VSI, but it's not the main focus of the source but rather a tool to show the performance of the vendors product.

Other possibilities to show notability are this white paper by Teradici (http://www.teradici.com/assets/files/qualifying-teradici-apex-2800-with-login-vsi.pdf) where Login VSI is mentioned in the frontpage title and another white paper by Citrix and Atlantis Computing (http://www.atlantiscomputing.com/downloads/GlassHouse_Citrix_Atlantis_Reference%20Architecture-10-15-2012.pdf) uses a special 'Tested with Login VSI' logo at the front of the white paper.

I also found a white paper by Citrix that describes how to use their product EdgeSight with Login VSI (http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/27301-102-664873/Load%20Testing%20XD%20and%20ESLT%20with%20VSI%20v1_3.pdf) and a guide how to use XenDesktop with Login VSI (http://support.citrix.com/servlet/KbServlet/download/24130-102-673656/XenDesktop%20with%20Login%20Consultants%20VSI%20V3%20-%20Guide.pdf).

In these sources, Login VSI seems to be the main focus instead of only a tool. Maybe these sources are a better reference to show notability of Login VSI? Please, let me know what you think. Frontaal (talk) 12:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

LRA
Ngunalik (talk) 21:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)Hi ducknish

I have been editing the LRA article however there has been conflict with another editor. I added lots of citations but these were removed as said. I will try to add the new information and leave it for further refinement by other editors.

Ngunalik (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC)Hi Bpoga5 and Ducknish

I added new information to the contents of the LRA with valid citations. I meet with refugees from DR Congo at least every week. I do not think it is appropriate to post propaganda on wiki without checking facts from figures. This user Bpoga5 is taking things personally. There are many rebel groups operating in Congo so please it is important to listen to the victims. ThanksNgunalik (talk) 19:54, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Query
Sir I'm new here. Please can you point out my mistakes on article exbii. --Suzane007 (talk) 18:58, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Suzane007
 * I marked your page for speedy deletion under the criteria in WP:A7, which applies to "An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. Your article fails to indicate true significance for its subject, and per this criteria, can be speedily deleted. If you want more information about how to write an article that meets Wikipedia policy, you should read Starting_an_article. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me here on my talk page. Ducknish (talk) 19:02, 17 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sir the page was deleted giving the reason " does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". What do I need to do to show its importance?--Suzane007 (talk) 19:29, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Suzane007
 * To prevent deletion under WP:A7, the article must make some credible claim of importance in the sense that it must have reasoning for why the website matters enough to create an article. This is enough to prevent speedy deletion, however, if the subject of an article is non-notable (a higher standard) per WP:GNG, it may be proposed for a deletion discussion and be removed. Articles without credible, outside sources that write about the subject in significant detail are likely to be deleted on the basis of notability. Ducknish (talk) 19:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

The user Gaming&Computing has removed a large portion of the ad-drivel, but I still believe GNG is not met. If you still support your initial !vote, please reiterate your support on the Articles_for_deletion/Oton page. Thanks! -Kai445 (talk) 22:55, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Governor Murray
Do you intended Governor Murray to be a redirect to a primary topic, because if you don't the title of the disambig shouldn't have the "(disambiguation)" in it. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 17:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I just moved it as a matter of personal preference. I'll move it back. Ducknish (talk) 18:01, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Disambigs aren't supposed to have an "X (disambiguation)" formant unless X is or a redirect to some page other then the disambig, or an article. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 18:07, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * And I fixed that. No harm, no foul. Ducknish (talk) 18:08, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Caroline Dinenage MP
Ducknish, I object to Dolescum repeatedly editing the Wikipedia page of Caroline Dinenage MP in a manner which grossly misrepresents Ms Dinenage's position on the issue of the 2nd reading of the Same-Sex Couples Bill in the House of Commons.

By taking a few choice extracts reported in an online publication (without looking at the comments in the original context in which they were made) this contravenes Wikipedia rules on articles being editorially neutral. I am concerned at the motives behind Dolescum's revision, in previous comments, they have referred to this revision as a "war", rest assured I do not see it as such.

Furthermore, the public record is not being seen to be amended, the official record (http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/) will always state what an MPs position has been, respectfully, Wikipedia is not the forum for which to highlight Ms Dinenage's position on one of many hundreds of votes.

Happy to discuss this further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.219.87 (talk) 19:12, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * As I see it, Dolescum is simply maintaining factual information relating to the article's subject. It is no "gross misrepresentation", it is a factual statement about a position she has taken. I personally do not see any WP:NPOV violation on his part. On yours, however, based on your editing history, I feel as though you may have a conflict of interest in this area. I highly recommend you look for other places to edit, and familiarize yourself with our policies relating to edit wars. If you have any other concerns, please feel free to post here. Ducknish (talk) 19:17, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Ducknish, thanks for getting back to me. Of course it may be a factual statement, but it is one based on a questionable source, one needs to look at the slant of the article from which it was taken, particularly the use of select quotes to further a particular stance, thereby distorting the readers picture and bringing the neutrality of the article in to dispute. Using a news article that does not give a balanced view to begin with constitutes misrepresentation.


 * With regard to factual statements, I would happily suggest an edit along the lines of "for more information on Caroline's voting record, please visit the public whip website" (sourcehttp://www.publicwhip.org.uk/mp.php?id=uk.org.publicwhip/member/40281) — Preceding unsigned comment added by M1922 (talk • contribs) 20:32, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Both statements are entirely accurate and supported by outside sources. If the quote is what you contest, the fact remains that it is an exact quote from Dinenage, and in the way it is presented in the article, is a neutral statement of fact. Ducknish (talk) 20:39, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * The core issue we are disagreeing upon is that of context, essentially the fact that the quote used in the source is from a lengthy exchange. Using select quotes in such a way engineers a particular stance and misrepresents Ms Dinenage's position on this issue.  The quote in question was not said on the floor of the House, but in correspondence between an MP and someone deemed to be a constituent. Having exchanged views in good faith, this individual has proceeded to pass on information to the author of the 'source' who has in turn used choice extracts, thereby bringing the neutrality of the article in to dispute.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by M1922 (talk • contribs) 20:53, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I see no misrepresentation occurring here. The quote selected falls in line with the rest of what is said in the article. Whatever the context, it is a quote, and it is fair game. If you wish to find a contradicting statement on the part of Dinenage, you are well within your rights to do so. Ducknish (talk) 20:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Editor you have violated wiki rules
you have marked a PAGE {db-corp} http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Training_and_Placement_Wing but its about a education institution.. dont you know that db rules don't abide to educational institutions?? please acknowledge your wrong and delete the tag
 * As the page does not seem to be referring to an institution itself and instead is about an organization within an institution, A7 still applies. Ducknish (talk) 19:38, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Its a educational section intended to train the employable skills of students. YOu violating normns of wiki is a academic engineering training and institute!!!

Headerless 1
I am extremely trying to remain polite. But this is extremely difficult considering the rude way you, Ducknish excercised censorship. I have added certain verifiable passages to existing Wikipidia pages on religious circumcision. After claiming that my added material was not verifiable (most of it is straight from Luke's Gospel) I provided the place in the Talmud where it is stated Adam, Moses and Zerubbabel were without foreskin. For my personal claim on David and Jephtah I refer to the involved Scriptures as well.

Verifiable does not always mean it is in a book or magazine, so I provide my e-mail address in another passage. This way one can send a medical doctor to check on me in case of truthful doubt about me not having a foreskin. It seems to me somebody (Wikipedia/Ducknish/???) is afraid of real religious and/or political controversy.

I contacted Intact America on this matter.

I experienced a similar censorship at a site of some esoteric Judaeo-Christian zealot.

 * There are two problems with your edits.
 * 1. You may be citing sources for some of what your are saying, but not all of it is supported by the sources given.
 * 2. You are in violation of WP:NPOV. For example, your parenthetical reference to circumcision as "absurd", here, among others.


 * Ducknish (talk) 21:56, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
 * In addition, looking back at your edits, they are heavily reliant on original research and personal experience. Not reliable, outside, verifiable sources. Ducknish (talk) 21:59, 24 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I apologize in case this addition and change in heading and layout is not in conformity with the talk page guidelines.
 * If Wikipedia/Ducknish had provided me with an e-mail address I would have complained in an e-mail.
 * First of all I am wrongfully accused of making three edit reversals within 24 hours.
 * Well I am sorry but I am not aware I reversed one of the Wikipedia posts twice,
 * or maybe I did not notice because Ducknish reversed it back on the spot.


 * Not reliable, outside, verifiable source??? Need I send you a Talmud page???
 * Is it not possible to read Luke's Gospel or the stories on Jephtah and David???
 * Is absurd a curse word???


 * I am fed up with your rude accusations. If you want to exclude me from editing Wikipedia: go ahead!
 * I am not planning on being in an edit-war. That is why I contacted Intact America. There is no real neutral point of view,
 * especially when a neutral point of view means excluding a point of view based on hard and/or general facts by censorship.
 * Obviously neutral point of view to Wikipedia means mainstream, institutional point of view.


 * Please note that I claim to be of Jewish origin and that this claim is based on strong evidence.


 * Yours sincerely, Amand Keultjes, Delft, The Netherlands — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amand Keultjes (talk • contribs)


 * Your being of "Jewish origin" holds no weight. See WP:RS for information about what actually constitutes a reliable source. You are making claims that are unsupported and intended to push an anti-circumcision POV. If you can not edit in an objective manner, then you lose the ability to edit. It's as simple as that. There is no censorship occurring here. When you say "Obviously neutral point of view to Wikipedia means mainstream, institutional point of view.", you are correct, to an extent. Wikipedia is not a forum forthe promotion of fringe theories. If you have any further concerns, I will be happy to discuss them with you. Ducknish (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

 * You have until the AFD runs its course to attempt to improve the article. However, I would say that I see it as unlikely that any improvements you can make to the article would be able to prove notability. The only information I can turn up relating to the subject is all based on this one event. As a person, he has not, in my opinion, received a level of coverage substantial enough to meet notability guidelines. You may of course manage to prove me wrong, and I would be happy if you were to do so. Ducknish (talk) 22:26, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
