I removed the link from that page because I felt that after reviewing the wiki that it was very biased. That's my view anyway.

Be Bold and put the link back in, if others remove it then you should go to the discussion page and give reasons to add it to the article. I won't remove it again.

Just take care to not edit war. This is very very important.

Citing sources
See Citing sources/example style for a few examples. On that page we are so far basically just inserting: after the information to be cited (that is, in-line with the text). If you do that it will automatically show up at the end and with a numbered footnote. So if I were citing CNN.com for some fact, here, I would do the following. That should show up as a little footnote number here, and if you had a on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. Did it myself once. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:28, 26 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Not really, but I think you have to put the code on a subpage or something. There are plenty of template gurus around here that can help you, though. They had to help me with the Wikipedia Intensive Care Unit templates. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not a template guru, but I did respond with a suggestion on my talk page. I like to keep all of the comments together if possible. Royal broil  23:56, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete
On Image talk:Tiesto elements of life tour.jpg the only text is "hi. tiesto . i love you. i am from iran," but you said that there was no reason to delete the article. Since this looks like random nonsense to me, I am just curious why? I am not saying that the page shouldn't exist in the future, but for the time being it seems fairly pointless to me. Thanks, Falconus p t   c 04:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I know, but it is a talk page, not an article, and there really is no criteria that requires this comment to be removed. It is harmless, and useless, both.  We make a point to not delete user comments on talk pages unless they cause disruption, violate WP:BLP, or otherwise fit criteria requiring removal. JERRY talk contribs 04:40, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Apex High School
I have nominated Apex High School, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Apex High School. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Web of Trust
The problem you seem to be having seems to come from a plugin using Web of Trust. Remove the plugin and the random strange messages won't be appended to your posts. -- k a i n a w &trade; 01:08, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I figured that out, and I disabled the popup option. It seems to have fixed it. Falconus p  t   c 01:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Postage Due virus
Are you referring to the link I posted? If so, I'll remove it. Or you may do it. And if so, now you've got me concerned, although I do have ZoneAlarm and the latest version of Avast. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 05:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I was referring to that link. Web of Trust is what I use for my browser, and it has served me fairly well.  I'm going to unbold my comment, as it seems a little distracting now that the link has been removed. Falconus p  t   c 18:47, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The link that I posted is what Web of Trust has to say about the website, if you are interested.  Unfortunately it doesn't specify which malware to check for.  Given that you have scanners, I suspect that you are probably alright if you didn't download anything. Falconus p  t   c 18:54, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't download anything (unless the site did it behind the scenes), all I did was go to that website. Not being content to attach malware to porn sites, the purveyors of this stuff are apparently now doing it on seemingly-innocuous sites. >:( ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Evidently so. It's really annoying to me, but I suppose that's how it goes... Falconus p  t   c 23:15, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Tom - reference desks
Yes I know - I've mentioned it at the reference desk talk page - I'm not an admin so I can't take any action myself.94.72.235.30 (talk) 23:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm not an admin either... These users can be annoying, but what can we do? As for requesting that he be blocked, you may want to go through Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism - I don't think the reference desk talk page is the most effective place for it. I was going to drop a couple of warnings on his user page, but recommending him for a block renders that pointless. Falconus p  t   c 00:01, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I think an admin should look at what he's actually doing. But I don't think there's any great rush. Maybe a little time will allow a cool down. There are some admins who read the reference desk talk page so it some action should be taken eventually.94.72.235.30 (talk) 00:07, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that an admin needs to look at it, but you did pretty much imply that you've nominated him to be blocked... I'll leave it up to you, but I recommend that you follow through with your threat.  Besides, he was asking for it. Falconus p  t   c 00:09, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've left a message on User_talk:Runningonbrains, admins are like watched pots - they take longer to act the more you want them too, and often they don't do what you expect.
 * Tom12350 hasn't got into a revert war on the refdesk (where I deleted his question), or followed up the swearing thing - so it could have been a one off outburst. I still think he could take the people who answer questions on the reference desk a bit more seriously (ie not ask stupid or flame inciting questions) - but that message can come later.94.72.235.30 (talk) 00:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. Let's hope he behaves himself.  Falconus p  t   c 00:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Contact me
Hello Falconus my friend. It is I again. Thanks for replying to my talk page. You said to let you know if there was anything else you can do to misdirect help me out. If I may, here is my email, [email redacted]. Send me an email letting me know it's you (Falconus) that way I can personally email you any questions I might have that you can misdirect help me out, and I do have some for you. It seems that it is better to ask a question personally than publicly as I've learned that there are some crazy people out there :). Willminator (talk) 23:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Stable version
Thanks for the stable version template on Talk:Cogan House Covered Bridge. I have done some clean up work on the article since and then updated the template's stable version. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 19:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong, Falconus, it looks like you started adding a big "stable version" template to some article talk pages yesterday. We used to identify "stable versions" for WP:1.0, an offline version of WP ... perhaps you're involved with that work, but we typically either didn't mention that information on Wikipedia, or added the version to one of the banners that already existed; your banner is huge, and displaces whatever banner was at the top of the page. The very top of the talk page is important "real estate", generally reflecting whatever Wikipedians consider most important, and any one person's preference for any particular version of the page probably isn't the most important thing we can say about an article. Has there been discussion on this yet? - Dank (push to talk) 20:32, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As left on Dank's talk page: There has been a small discussion at the Village Pump, and we decided to let it "grow organically".  I figure that the best way to do that is put it in enough places that people see it - as it would be doomed to failure if nobody knows about it.  I apologize if it's getting in your way; is there another place on the talk page which you would prefer?  On the template documentation, as well as the Village Pump discussion, the reasons for the template are discussed - essentially it is to combat what has been identified as a problem with article rot, without being so intrusive as to lock pages, etc. Falconus p  t   c 20:48, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I did notice with Cogan House Covered Bridge that the "stable version" originally linked to had two dead links (which I repaired). So it might help to ask on the article's talk page first... Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 21:49, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I left a note on all the talk pages that I have tagged - they can decide in each case if they feel that it was an inappropriate addition. I also will probably wait a few days before tagging any more, partly because I think that I need to see what the general reaction will be.  Falconus p  t   c 23:03, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Any reactions so far? If you're comfortable with your banner going underneath the FA or GA banner and underneath any wikiproject banners, then I don't have an opinion one way or the other.  Generally, the review processes pick up a number of problems in any article ... unclear or incomprehensible language, not-great sources, language that follows the sources too closely or not closely enough, too much attention to trivial things or not enough attention to important things, etc. ... so for most article reviewers, "stable" doesn't mean a lot (other than maybe "not recently vandalized"), but YMMV.  If you'd rather add your information to the FA or GA banner under "article milestones", I don't know the proper format for that, and we'd want to ask first at WT:GAN and WT:FAC whether people mind altering those banners. - Dank (push to talk) 16:15, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks; I will take care to put it under the FA banner for the time being. No negative reactions, one person thought I was canvassing, and a couple of positive reactions.  Nothing major; mostly nobody seems to care to comment one way or the other, if they've noticed.  There have been a couple of people that have used it, and notably nobody who has removed it.  It's not my banner; I was just trying to promote it.  Rich Farmbrough is the one that deserves the credit in this.  Adding the information to an existing banner is something I had not already thought about, but I'm content for the moment with just seeing what happens at this point. Falconus p  t   c 17:34, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm fine with not using "article milestones". It's possible that others will object to it as a separate template at some point, at which point you might want to suggest the "article milestones" route, but per WP:BEANS, I won't bring that up at Template talk:Stable version.  I'll talk about the other point over at the template talk page. - Dank (push to talk) 17:50, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Alitalia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Copa (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.

Medical advice
That was my mistake, just read Reference desk/Guidelines/Medical advice carefully. --SupernovaExplosion (talk) 17:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

You on French WP
Bonjour. I took a look at your pages on the French WP. May I point out some small errors? In French message is masculine. On your talk page: Vous pouvez me laisser un message ici, mais vous êtes libre aussi de le laisser sur... On your user page: ''...j'en suis désolé par avance. Si j'écris quelque chose qui n'est pas clair, laissez-moi un message s'il vous plaît,... Shorter: Si quelque chose n'est pas clair,...''. The word chose is feminine, but quelque chose is masculine. Therefore, no "e" at the end of clair. Amicalement, AldoSyrt (talk) 13:03, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestions! I have made the corrections. I really appreciate it! Happy New Year's! Falconus p t   c 06:51, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Google translation of 2,015 San Bernardino tir
You asked for some help translating the page into Français, but it seems you have a good command if things already. Here's a Google translation:

quick Google translation --- deleted to save space --Falconus -- / end Google translation -- Don't know if this helps you. Sctechlaw (talk) 02:11, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops, mea culpa, looks as if it was an IP (89.94.82.139) user. My bad, ignore me :-) Sctechlaw (talk) 02:15, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

, Thanks for the thought. Yeah, I wasn't trying to translate anything; I just saw 89's request, and offered to help out. That being said, while I appreciate the effort, Google Translate is pretty well-known in most French speaking countries, and I would imagine that 89 knows how to use it; it's probably not necessary to go through the trouble of pasting the entire translated article on a person's user page ;-). The trouble with Google Translate is simply that it does not get it all right, and sometimes a human speaker of the language is required to interpret it, which is probably why 89 asked instead of simply plugging it in him/herself.

2015 San Bernardino shooting
Bonjour,

j'ai vu que vous vous étiez proposé pour m'aider à traduire la page anglophone vers la francophone, ce qui est très sympathique de votre part. J'aimerais plus traduire la section « Events » ; pouvez-vous proposer votre traduction française ci-dessous (afin que je la corrige si besoin il y a) s'il vous plaît ?

P.S. : « Conctactez-moi sur mon page de discussion. » est « Contactez-moi sur ma page de discussion. » en français.

Cordialement, et merci de votre aide, –89.94.82.139 (talk) 20:50, 3 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Salut ,


 * Voici mes efforta à traduction pour vous à corriger. (si besoin il y a... bien sur, il y besoin ;-) ).

Tir

Le matin de l'attaque, Syed Rizwan Farook et Tashfeen Malik ont laissé leur fille, vieille de six mois, avec la mère de Farook, en donnant comme raison un rendez-vous chez le médecin. [9][10] Selon certaines sources, Farook, qui était inspecteur de l'action sanitaire chez le San Bernardino County Department of Public Health (le service de la santé publique du compté de San Bernardino), assistait à la célébration des fêtes de fin d'année au Inland Regional Center [11], un établissement sur South Waterman Avenue à but non-lucratif qui sert aux individus avec des handicaps de développement [12][13].[3] Il y avait plus qu'une centaine de personnes qui y assistaient.[14][15] Quelques de ses collègues ont constaté qu Farook était silencieux pendant les premiers moments de l'événement et ont remarqué qu'il était parti de la célébration brusquement, en laissant son manteau, avant la prise d'une photo du groupe.[16][17]. Selon certaines sources, il y avait une dispute avant son départ.[18] Pendant les briefings policiers ultérieurs, on a indiqué que Farook était parti « sous des circonstances dites furieuses ». [19]

À 10 h 59 PST (heure du Pacifique), deux responsables qui portaient des cagoules et du camouflage, ont ouvert le feu sur les participants à la célébration. Des témoins ont indiqué qu'ils ont reconnu Farook comme un des tireurs par son voix et sa charpente.[20]

La réponse policière

À 11h14 PST, les Pompiers de San Bernardino ont déclaré sur Twitter une urgence dans le bloc 1300 du Waterman Avenue, une scène sur laquelle les policiers travaillaient activement.[21][22][23][24] Les routes dans les environs étaient ensuite fermées aux voitures.[25]

Les policiers et les équipes de SWAT encerclaient le bâtiment au même temps que l'évacuation.[26] Les policiers ont fait détoner à distance un objet non identifié à la scène et ont accédé au complexe par bélier.[27][28] Le FBI et le Los Angeles Police Department Counter-Terrorism Unit (département antiterroriste de la gendarmerie de Los Angeles) se sont mobilisés[29]. Les policiers cherchait un SUV noir dans lequel les responsables ont fui de la scène de crime.[27][30][31][32]

Le United States Department of Homeland Security (département de la Sécurité intérieure des États-Unis) a aussi répondu, et ont envoyé un avion de surveillance Pilatus PC-12 aux environs.[33][34]

La fusillade et la mort des responsables

Une fusillade s'est déclaré à environ 15h00 PST sur le East San Bernardino Boulevard, environ 2.7km de la scène au Inland Regional Center. Les policiers ont demandé un BearCat, une véhicule blindé policière, et de l'aide médical d'urgence. Les occupants du SUV, après avoir été poursuites et arrêtés, ont échangé le feu avec les policiers de leur SUV, qui était un Ford Expedition noir, et qui Farook avait loué plusieurs jours avant. [35]

La fusillade a duré moins qu'une minute, et les deux suspects étaient tués.

Selon le chef de police de San Berardino, les policiers ont tiré 380 balles et les suspects 76 pendant la fusillade.[35] Des témoins ont dit que les suspects portaient de l'armure du même style que les police, et jetaient les objets par fenêtre.[38][39]

Les policiers ont quadrillé les rues dans les environs, et ont demandé aux résidents à rester à l'intérieur.[38] Un chef de police a confirmé que les deux responsables était tués.[5] Le tireur et la tireuse portaient « la tenue tactique », armés avec des pistolets ainsi que des fusils de .223 calibres.
