Tommi Ohrner
Hi there. I see you've started a page for Tommi Ohrner. I had wanted to start a page for him, but I'm an American Wikipedia editor and my German isn't very good. If you are German or if you are fluent in German and know of reliable sources about his life and career, please add the information and sources to the new page you've created, or you can add the information and links to this talk page (in English) and, between the two of us, I'm sure we could translate the information to add to his page. I'm afraid his page could be tagged for speedy deletion if we can't add more sources to verify his notability. Thank you --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 09:31, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I proposed here the merge of Golden Generation and Golden Team. I would appreciate a comment Fraere (talk) 12:33, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk page archived
I just took a look at his page and saw that he archives manually by just copy/pasting, so I went ahead and archived your talk page. I left the original "Welcome" message and kept the threads for October (so you could continue any conversations that might not be finished), but everything from 2010 thru September 2011 is now archived. A box with the link is now located at the top of this talk page. I hope that helps. If not, let me know and we'll make sure you get what you want. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 18:48, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I just noticed that your talk page went back to 2008, not 2010. The top message was from an editor who mistakenly put their message on top of your older messages, so I'll move the page to reflect that it's an archive of 2008 to 2011.  Sorry about that.  --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 18:51, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Now moved to reflect the page archives messages from 2008 to 2011. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 18:54, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

inre Articles for deletion/Life Begins for Andy Panda
With respects, your nomination rationale is not based upon policy nor guideline. While appreciating your concerns about an article being unsourced, topic notability is determined through availability of sources, and not their immediate citation within an article. In finding that multiple sources are readily available, and your concerns easily addressable, I began some steps myself to proactively address the addresable issues, so I'm asking that you give serious consideration to a withdrawal of your nomination. Cheers,  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:29, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Why won't you ever insert a new category in alphabetical order?
It's not hard. --Niemti (talk) 14:20, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

And is it hard to write "Super Street Fighter IV" instead of "Streetfighter IV"? Whatever is "Streetfighter IV" anyway. Also, "the the five characters the five characters"? --Niemti (talk) 17:49, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

Crime Story
I have attempted to have the discussion on the Crime Story talk page I have contacted the editor personally. As you can clearly see my edits had legimate sources from the Los Angeles Times and DVD Talk. It seems to me merly to spiteful editing for the sake of doing so. What else do you want me to do when you accuse me of not listening to advise. Dwanyewest (talk) 12:42, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Context for the above: Dwanyewest, who appears to have a legitimate complaint, did not know where to go with that complaint, and posted the complaint several places where it was ignored or deleted (because it was in the wrong place). I gave him the following advice:


 * "Dwanyewest, first you need to attempt to resolve this at Talk:Crime Story (film). If that does not resolve the issue, see Dispute resolution for instructions as to what to do next."


 * Thirty minutes later, Dwanyewest posted his complaint to Talk:Crime Story (film) - the right place. Here is my further advice for him:

Dwanyewest, I see that you have now posted your complaint to Talk:Crime Story (film). That is the right place to try to resolve issues with Crime Story (film). As I wrote before, you need to give the talk page discussion a chance. If it doesn't result in the issue being solved, let me know and I will tell you what the next step is.

Meanwhile, I see that 90.195.244.182 has been blocked for 24 hours for his disruptive editing at Crime Story (film), Full Metal Jacket, Lethal Weapon 4 and Big Show. This means two things for you: first, it means that you can go back to Crime Story (film) and make your edits without 90.195.244.182 being allowed to interfere. I see that you have already done that. Second, it means that 90.195.244.182 cannot edit Talk:Crime Story (film) either, so you will have to wait until the block expires to see whether you get a response.

I know that all of this must be very frustrating for you, and that it must seem like you are having trouble with a vandal and nobody is listening. You can reduce your frustration by following a few simple rules: First, any time you have a conflict with another editor, try to resolve the conflict on the talk page for the article where you are having trouble. Second, read Dispute resolution so that you know what to do if discussing it on the talk page fails. --Guy Macon (talk) 17:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)


 * It's pointless communicating with 90.195.244.182 s/he is clearly a disruptive troll I am taking my complaint higher as this person seems to be disruptive for the sake of doing so! Dwanyewest (talk) 14:01, 31 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Why are you ignoring what I am telling you? "Taking your complaint higher" will do you no good unless you first try to resolve the issue at Talk:Crime Story (film). If you take your compaint elswhere before doing that, you will be told to go back and try to resolve the issue at Talk:Crime Story (film).


 * And please don't try to tell me that you tried and he did not respond. He can't respond while he is blocked. So far he got a 24-hour block, went right back to misbehaving, and immediately got a 48 hour block which s still active. If he doesn't stop his disruptive editing he will end up blocked indefinitely. The system is working. Please stop being so impatient and please stop WP:FORUMSHOPPING. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:34, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

RE:Lilith
This doesn't say individually about Lilith as much as Frasier and Lilith together. This is excessive, as I have already done that in Frasier Crane article. This has awards, but I've already done that in Frasier article. ....Really? Even so, look at Lucy Ricardo and Ricky Ricardo. More to discuss. --George Ho (talk) 04:55, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * This is trivial, as Frasier and Lilith are mentioned together already in both Frasier and Lilith articles. On the other hand, this might do. --George Ho (talk) 05:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Only one article; the rest are struck out? Man, even that article could make Lilith Sternin belong to the upcoming List of Cheers characters (or Characters of Cheers). I'm sorry, but Lilith article could be either merged into Frasier article or renamed into Frasier Crane and Lilith Sternin. --George Ho (talk) 07:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Changing scope of Lilith Sternin without merging?
I have proposed altering the scope of this article. Well, you can go to the talkpage to improve consensus. --George Ho (talk) 08:23, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

British Muslims for Secular Democracy
Dear Dwanyewest, I hope you are well. Your work on the page, British Muslims for Secular Democracy, has really improved it a lot. It's a credible page now. Thanks. Its central section still seems to be (or read like) a constitution or charter and it seems from the citations that BMSD generated a bit of media attention when it originated, but not much since then. If you know of any third-party sources for its activities / accomplishments during the last five years we could really strengthen the article and demonstrate notability. I'll search myself, but anything you can think of will be much appreciated. Thanks again. Best wishes, George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 00:37, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I can't remember if this subject has been brought up before. But do you think this article Prostitution in Ghana has potential to be expanded into a full solo article. Dwanyewest (talk) 22:43, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi there Dwanyewest, I do remember when you brought this subject to me, and I do think it could have potential. How about if you can start the article in any way you can, then I will try my best to contribute to the article. MarkMysoe (talk) 22:55, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Felix Dexter
Hi, Dwanyewest. Hope you don't mind me asking. What was your source for Felix Dexter's date of birth? The same date now appears in the Telegraph and Guardian obituaries, but they might well have got it from us ... The Guardian obituary, written by two colleagues, even says that they didn't know how old he was (so the date must have been added by an editor, perhaps after reading the Wikipedia page). I was just about to write an obituary elsewhere, so it would be really helpful. Thanks. Andrew Dalby 09:12, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your answer. No need to apologise -- I know how these things happen! Andrew Dalby 13:38, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy
The criterion for speedy deletion is failure to indicate credible significance. Actual notability is a much higher standard, and not required to pass speedy. If you question the actual notability, use WP:AFD or WP:PROD. For Alexandar Komanov, I think a prod might be contested, so you should use AFD.See WP:CSD and WP:Deletion Policy.

Splitting
Hi West,

It's been a long time! I hope life has been going well with you since we were last in touch. This page gives a good explanation of how to undertake an article split. The splits you undertook are called cut-and-paste moves, which are prohibited on Wikipedia because they result in multiple page histories existing for the same topic. Because the articles were so recently created, I recommend that the new pages be deleted.

Neelix (talk) 02:00, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi West,


 * I've thought about the situation a bit more, and it's a difficult one to manage. Are you willing for the articles to be deleted? I don't have a grounds for speedy deletion unless you consent, and I think that's the most expedient way forward. The alternatives aren't great. In addition to the fact that cut-and-paste moves are time-consuming to deal with and can only be dealt with by administrators, I don't think these splits should have taken place. Many of the sources in the new articles aren't reliable (Buzzfeed, whatculture.com, etc.), and I don't think they justify individual articles. It seems like a lot of work to repair the cut-and-paste moves only to have the articles merged back into the list. What are your thoughts?


 * Neelix (talk) 02:18, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi West,


 * Thanks for your understanding. Once I've finished the deletions, I'd be glad to contribute to the split discussion you initiated.


 * Neelix (talk)


 * Hi West,


 * I've deleted the articles per your approval, and responded to your comments on the list talk page. What was the issue with the Miyamoto Usagi article? Was there a split there that I'm not seeing?


 * Neelix (talk) 02:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi West,


 * I can't find the original page history for the Miyamoto Usagi article; it may have been lost somehow. I think it's fine to leave it as it is, considering it happened so long ago and it looks like you had consensus for the split. Just be sure to avoid cutting and pasting in the future. Thanks again for contacting me about these splits.


 * Neelix (talk) 03:11, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi West,


 * I responded at the discussion you started. To summarize, I think it better to work on improving the list itself rather than spinning off more articles about individual characters.

Copying within Wikipedia
Hello, Dwanyewest. I see you recently created the article Kick no Oni with content copied from Tadashi Sawamura. As was explained to you in 2014, you cannot split content from one article to another without providing attribution. Content on Wikipedia is not public domain; it is freely licensed, but that license has specific terms. If you do not meet the terms of the license, moving the content elsewhere creates a copyright infringement.

When moving within Wikipedia, all you have to do is put a direct link to the source article in your edit summary and, if content is extensive (as will be the case when establishing a new article), on the talk pages of both the source and destination article. Copying within Wikipedia explains how this is done.

I have repaired this instance (as you can see in the article history and on the talk pages). Please do this in future when copying content from one space to another even if you intend to rewrite the content immediately, as it keeps the history of our articles legally compliant with license. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:43, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at as an example of how it is done. Please let me know if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:27, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

You need to start adding the legally required attribution. If you don't do it, your edit is a copyright violation. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:30, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

List of Gatchaman Fighter episodes
Hi, please familiarize yourself with our Manual of Style on writing about fiction, as well as the essay "How to write a plot summary". Your episode summaries are problematic for several reasons. A plot summary should be concise and only detail the main events, not a blow-by-blow detail of every minor thing that occurs. As they currently are, they are much too long and go into unnecessary details, defeating the point of a summary. You shouldn't just be rehashing everything that happens on the screen, but condensing the episodes to the major events.

A plot summary should also be written from an out-of-universe perspective. It should be written as if you were writing about the episode, not as if you were the characters. They should also follow neutral point of view without personal views or comments.

Most importantly: Your summaries likely do not meet fair use standards. You cannot gratuitously quote multiple lines of dialogue and also rephrase every detail including sound effects; you've effectively written your own script which is a derivative work of the original, violating copyright.

It is because of these reasons that I have reverted your editions wholesale. I would normally try to cut the details down to usable portions but unfortunately I am not familiar with the series and cannot make judgements on which portions are relevant. I would suggest starting from scratch while focusing on which points are the most important while aiming for between 400-700 words. Try to adhere to a neutral point of view, keeping in mind that you are writing about fiction, only quote characters when necessary, and do not add sound effects. Of course, your edits are still available in the history for your reference or if you should choose to cut those down instead. Please let me know if you have any questions and see WikiProject_Anime_and_manga/Quality_articles for examples of lists considered to be the highest quality on Wikipedia.

August 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Women's boxing. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!! Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:33, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Page Move or Page Merger
I was wondering if you could help out with a page merge or move. I'm not really the best at doing this, and see a lot of article end up in merger limbo. I feel like I should be bold, but not sure how to go about doing this. Thought maybe you'd be interested.

The articles for Efraim Diveroli and David Packouz (both who are subject of the same movie, War Dogs) are essentially exactly the same. Both men are notable for the exact same thing. I was wondering if you could get them merged or something, or moved to a page -- I don't know if each individual is in and of himself noteworthy, so much as what their company, AEY, did. Either way, articles should definitely be merged at the very least. Thanks! --FuzzyGopher (talk) 05:02, 30 August 2016 (UTC) =

Please do not use thumbnails inside of infoboxesas you did to Baseball in the United States. Note that this is your second warning regarding this issue. Continuing to add thumbnails will be seen as disruptive editing. For more information please see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE. When adding an image, instead of doing:

SomeImage.jpg

You can simply supply the name of the image. So in this case just do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox.

Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:15, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to to use thumbnails inside of infoboxes, as you did at Jay Sharrers, you may be blocked from editing. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Bare URLs
Hey just a tip that would help you and others out and would be more productive. Instead of throwing up a maintenance tag on a highly visible page. Why not just have a tab open with The reFill tool and throw the article name in it and then fix it immediately, it only takes seconds. It doesn't always catch everything but it will generally catch enough to not have to throw up a tag. -DJSasso (talk) 18:04, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed merger – Donna Martin
Hi Dwayne, I note your proposed merger of the above article... but do you think it would be better to merge Donna Martin (character) into List of Beverly Hills, 90210 characters, and not the other way around, as you've suggested? None of the other characters from the TV show have their own article, and the standalone article is poorly written and more a description (unsourced) of Donna's entire storyline rather than a summary of her character – the short section about Spelling allegedly getting the role because of her father could probably be moved to Beverly Hills, 90210.

Your contributed article, Anti white racism


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Anti white racism. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Hate crime. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Hate crime. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Person who formerly started with &#34;216&#34; (talk) 17:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Anti white racism for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Anti white racism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Anti white racism until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Nomination of Gold star lesbian for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gold star lesbian is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Gold star lesbian until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 18:16, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Women's football in San Marino
Why do you insist on adding an infobox to Women's football in San Marino? It contains many totally irrelevant links, like a link to the non-existant San Marino women's national football team, or to UEFA Women's Champions League where they never competed (and ar not likely to do so in the near future). An infobox should summarize info in the article, or at worst point to other relevant info about the subject of the article. This infobox does neither. Please don't add this infobox here (nor to other articles for countries without a national team). Fram (talk) 14:02, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Merger requests
Hi Dwanyewest, could you please be a bit more specific about your recent merger requests? King Hiss (MOTU) already has its own article, so merging King Hiss wouldn't achieve anything, while Indian bull terrier doesn't exist anyway, so there is nothing to merge. Richard3120 (talk) 20:21, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

Update: an IP has marked both requests as "done" because there appeared to be no merges to be performed. Richard3120 (talk) 12:36, 26 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Richard3120 What is the section for asking redirecting articles that is what I was trying to do King Hsss still redirects to List of Masters of the Universe characters instead to King Hiss (MOTU).  Indian Bull Terrier as a search item I wish to redirected to Gull Terr. Dwanyewest (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

Poor unattributed translation deleted
I have deleted Elfriede Florin as a very poor unattributed translation of this. Wikipedia isn't a reliable source to start with, but if you know what you are doing, it can be the basis for an enwiki article. However, when you apparently don't understand the language you are translating from (or pay very, very little attention to what you are doing if you did understand it), you are producing something which is considerably worse than what you started with. If you add that to the lack of attribution, without which this was an unacceptable case of plagiarism, and we end up with a page we can do without.

Please, in the future, both attribute your source correctly, and even more importantly don't introduce factual errors into enwiki. Fram (talk) 10:03, 2 October 2018 (UTC)


 * (talk) is this an acceptable third person source.? Dwanyewest (talk) 13:43, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

I'm continuing with the deletion of all pages you have created in the past in this way. Leaving something like Kämmerer (modern) in the mainspace is simply not acceptable. Fram (talk) 06:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Similarly, in Annette Fugmann-Heesing the first line of the body of the article read "Annette Fugmann-Heesing is the daughter of Interior Designer and Travelling Salesman". WTF? Fram (talk) 06:55, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Fram (talk) if I find legitimate third person sources for all the articles you deleted is that ok for to create? Dwanyewest (talk) 10:11, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, the topic of the article wasn't the problem, the way they were created was~the issue. Fram (talk) 11:15, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Please slow down and take your time creating decent articles with acceptable sources. I've already sent one empty article to draft space, and something like German Karate Federation is problematic as well: the first line is again a bad translation of the German article (a practice you really need to stop if you don't want to get blocked), the mention of France indicates that the body is a poor copy-paste job of your own article as well, and the first source is not about the subject either. There is no rush in getting these recreated, better you do it a lot slower but with better results. Fram (talk) 13:20, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Fram I am in the library since I don't have my own computer and you mass deleted a ton of articles and most the articles had notable articles and its going to take weeks to rewrite most of the articles. Dwanyewest (talk) 13:25, 4 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes. That's what writing articles usually takes, time and effort. Not running things through Google translate without much care about the results you get. Your method wsa faster, but not acceptable. Fram (talk) 13:28, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Recent requests at Proposed mergers
Hi Dwanyewest – your recent batch of requests at WP:PM are somewhat confusing, as the article Indian bull terrier doesn't exist, so there is nothing to merge, and the other requested mergers are already redirects to Voltron. I think what you are asking for is for the current redirects to point to somewhere else, not to the Voltron article, and so the pages you want are either WP:RFD or WP:RM, but either way, there are no merges to carry out, so I'm closing your requests at WP:PM, and would suggest that you direct your queries to one of the two pages I suggested. Thanks. Richard3120 (talk) 02:04, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Voltron
I'm not sure what you are trying to do with the "Voltron" articles, but feel free to use parts of User:Steel1943/Voltron (series) if necessary. I attempted to split the contents at Voltron two years ago, but eventually lost interest. Actually, if you desire to use the draft in my userspace, let me know and I'll move it to Draft:Voltron (series). Steel1943 (talk) 15:57, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Sports in the US articles
Thank you for your creation of articles on different sports in the US. However, it looks to me as if they are often rather ill-informed rush jobs, with dubious information even in the few sentences they contain. Examples:
 * In Winter sports in the United States you claim "Winter sports in the United States is a minor niche interest in the country." with a source claiming that "snow-based recreation" "supports over 900,000 jobs in the US", which is hardly a minor niche then? U.S. Ski & Snowboard has more than 30,000 members. Plus, ice hockey is a winter sport...
 * In Rowing in the United States, you don't seem to know the difference between one particular type (the "Women's eight") and other types. While the US Women's eight have dominated their discipline, the team in general, over the disciplines, has mixed success.
 * In Athletics in the United States, you claim "The sport was first organized in the by the New York Athletic Club in 1876". Not only is this grammatically incorrect, it is also factually dubious. They organised the first national championships, but the sport had been practised and events organised in the US for much longer. "The sport is not popular in the United States its athletes dominate at the Summer Olympics." is also grammatically incorrect. USA Track & Field has about 100,000 members, so not that limited...
 * Tennis in the United States is simply a poor, error-riddled article.

I will move these articles to draft space so they can get cleaned up and fleshed out a bit before they are presented to the general public. Fram (talk) 15:10, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Histmerge at Trials of Shazam
You placed a request for a history merge to have the history of Trials of shazam merged into Trials of Shazam, I was wondering why? Trials of shazam has no meaningful history, it was created originally as a redirect to Captain Marvel (DC Comics) in 2007, and has never been anything other than a redirect, although the target has changed a couple times (to Captain Marvel Jr. in 2008 and most recently to Trials of Shazam today). My inclination is to reject the history merge and remove the template, but I wanted to get your feedback on why you think the history merge is appropriate first. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 14:06, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Questions and prep to upgrade the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 article
Dwanyewest,

I read the 2011 article you had recently added as a citation on the Staffie page where it says in the article:

One key area for reform is likely to be the current rules making it impossible to prosecute dog owners if an attack takes place on private property, including in their own homes, on private roads, and privately run housing estates and parks. Postal workers are particularly at risk and ministers are considering changes to make such legal action possible. ...

“There’s no easy solution. We will be announcing new measures early in the new year that will better protect the public, allow the police and councils to better enforce the law and ensure dog owners take responsibility for their animals.”

Since I'm not in the UK, and you seem to be (per your User page), I'd like to pick your brain on this in order to upgrade the article Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

Do you know if they actually made any changes in early 2012... or since then? Have ANY changes been made to attempt to fix loopholes or shortcomings of the Act?

What else does the UK DDA encompass? For example, it seems that the current version of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 article matches with the perception in the USA which is that the UK DDA is "all about BSL" and that's it. However, I believe part of the Act includes the code that we in the USA would call "dangerous dog laws", referring to laws that codify what happens with respect to dangerous dogs regardless of what breed they are. For example, when can the owner of an attacking dog be charged with a crime? What happens to the dog afterwards? Can a victim sue the dog's owner in civil court? What are the exceptions to any of these? When is a dog declared "vicious" or "dangerous" and what must a dog owner do in order to keep their dog when it is so declared (like fences, muzzling, neutering, or what have you)?

Links for citations are great, but at this stage if you don't have citations and you just have information for me, that would also be appreciated. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

You can post information here and I'll run with it, or you can upgrade the article yourself, or you can send me an email through my user page where there is a link to email me among my list of userboxes.

I've been working on the article. One thing that is befuddling me is that though the actual Act mentions pit bulls and tosas, it does NOT mention filas and dogos. All the other news articles and "official gov publications" (brochures, FAQs, webpages, etc.) seem to mention four. But how did the two become four? Where is the language in the Act itself that includes dogos and filas? Nomopbs (talk) 18:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

July 2019
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:41, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

"Mandatory Boxing Records"
Since I saw you complaining on the Boxing Wiki Project's talk page about Dick Turpin not having his professional boxing record viable on his Wikipedia page, I went in and put all of his 108 fights in for you. I expect you to thank my edit. In future instances, if you think something should be a certain way on Wikipedia, don't go around asking other people to do it for you because you are just as capable if you work on it in a consistent way while managing your time. Should you decide to work on other boxer's records, use Dick Turpin's table as a reference on how to do it properly and if you're the one who's been inputing blank tables, PLEASE STOP. It's useless, not helpful and not accurate to the number of fights any of these fighters have had. The most help you can do that isn't time consuming is start the table with the ACCURATE amount of ko wins/losses, decision wins/losses, DQ wins/losses, draws, newspaper decisions, and no contests. I believe that all current and former boxing champions should have mandatory Wikipedia pages. If I want that to happen, I have to make it happen because asking other people to do those things is not a sustainable or guaranteed method of achieving it.
