Polona Hercog performance info removal
You may have updated the Polona Hercog singles performance table, but you removed all her non-major events. Why? Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:15, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * There are many players who only have the small Grand Slam section in their performance timelines. I assume it's a judgment call whether or not a player's Premier Mandatory and Premier 5 results are notable enough to fit in the table, the same way that some top players have their results broken out by surface. Hercog has not made it to a QF in any Premier Mandatory or Premier 5 events, so it seemed like excessive information.


 * If you have a difference of opinion, I would be happy to hear it. I have all of Hercog's information in Excel so that I could easily add the other tournaments, but I don't want to do it simply because I can. Let me know what you think. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 07:27, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Agreed, On a main page it is a judgement call on whether to include more than just the majors. Usually when a player has enough info to have a career stats article, that stats article would contain the extra tournaments and the main page probably just the Majors. In this case there is not a career stats page and I think most players have the full chart in that case. All her opponents in WTA events seem to have the larger chart, even if they've done poorly. But two things. One, there would also be no reason to include the lesser Olympic first round loss. It would only be the Majors if you have the smaller chart. Two, and more importantly, many others have already added those extra events and you just wiped their efforts away on your own judgement without consulting them. At the very least I would have said that in the edit summary and mentioned what I did on the talk page, just in case others disagree with your information removal. I think the best choice is to leave the extra events in there. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:56, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I think your points about being consistent with her opponents and the Olympics are fair, and based on those I will re-introduce the Premier Mandatory and P5 tournaments to her singles timeline, and add it to the new doubles timeline. I will certainly add a section to the talk page and make more of a point to do that in the future, however I would dispute the characterization of "wiping away" others' efforts. If you were to look at the most previous timeline before my edits, you will see numerous issues besides the obvious formatting mishaps. The minor tournaments and career statistics appear not to have been updated since the end of the 2013 WTA Tour. For an active player, that constitutes abandonment. In addition, the totals seem to be wrong in almost every year. This happens often due to qualification matches, fed cup matches, and walkovers being counted when the standard on Wikipedia is to only count WTA, Olympic, and Grand Slam main draws. There were also some rows that seemed to count ITF matches, which is just too much information and not consistent with other performance timelines. With all that in mind, I don't feel the need to preserve that data, because it's grossly inaccurate. As you said though, the right thing would have been for me to post something to the talk page. Please don't take my instinct to defend my work the wrong way. I appreciate you holding me accountable for my edits. –Hermionedidallthework (talk) 14:16, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

Weirdest thing, though, is it was exactly the same: concentrated attack by both named accounts and random IPs. Wonder if it's something that can be looked into... Half Shadow  18:33, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Were they from Sri Lanka though? All the IPs I happened to look up came from the same provider in Sri Lanka. I don't know how proxies work, so maybe that's not significant. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 18:37, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Interestingly enough, in my case they were all from Austrailia. So we have two examples of concentrated vandal-attacks on an article of no apparent significance,both originating from the same country. This is weird. Half  Shadow  18:45, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Rollback
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AHermionedidallthework granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 13:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks, . I'll read up on the feature to make sure I use it correctly. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 13:30, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

paul simon
paul simon had a record contract. the person involved with that record label wrote a book that included discussion of his time working with paul simon the book was written about in the new york times i posted a small sentence about it reference the new york times how is that non neutral? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.48.22 (talk) 03:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It just struck me as something vauge and negative to insert into the middle of an encyclopedia article about someone's music career. If you were reading about John Lennon and the Beatles in India, you might expect to read about some specific, verifiable shitty things Lennon did while in India, but you wouldn't see, "The Beatles were in India, and oh yeah, someone who was there says Lennon acted like a total dick." So, if the author had anything specific and of encyclopdic value to say about what Paul Simon did at the time, it might merit inclusion in that section of the article. Do you see where I'm coming from? I don't mean to remove content just because it isn't favorable to the subject, but at the same time it needs to meet a certain criteria to be neutral. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 03:30, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

hey i respect what you are meaning and have respectfully removed the inflammatory quotes and have simply stated that a book was written that has critical remarks in it and btw i am a big paul simon fan and am simply trying to include information i found from a news article that i found interesting and relevant to his career i hope we can reach a compromise here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.139.48.22 (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I just read it, and it certainly seems more neutral now. Thanks for using edit summaries and reaching out to me rather than just edit warring. I hope that you consider making an account and sticking around. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 03:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Nusrat Imrose Tisha
Help needed from K6ka and/or Nthep.

I was patrolling some recent changes and trying to revert some disruptive edits. I am normally proficient at those sorts of things, but I saw something that really confused me. A user named Nusrat Imrose Tisha edited an article named Nusrat Imrose Tisha (red flag number one), and I saw that they were making purely vandalous redirects elsewhere. So when I went to see what they did at Nusrat Imrose Tisha, I saw that they had changed what used to be a redirect to Tanjin Tisha into a copy of the content at (slightly different spelling) Nusrat Imroz Tisha. So, after mistakenly requesting a speedy deletion, I reverted to the original redirect. However, if there is a legitimate article called Nusrat Imroz Tisha, why wouldn't the page Nusrat Imrose Tisha redirect there rather than Tanjin Tisha. Something just doesn't smell right to me, but I'm too confused to do anything about it. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 19:28, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'm not 100% certain about this but googling the two names and they appear to be two different people so I've removed your redirect.  I quite understand why you did make a redirect because the edit history and the way the second article was created from a move of the first is extremely unhelpful.  The subsequent vandalism by User:Nusrat Imrose Tisha is just a further confusing factor and I've now blocked that user for having a username that is the name of an article subject. Nthep (talk) 19:45, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks to for dealing with the situation. I was Huggling when I saw the user blanking Nusrat Imrose Tisha and redirecting Tanjin Tisha to Pornography and Pornographic film actor. The latter was clear-cut vandalism, and I initially thought the same of the former, as page blanking is seldom appropriate (only for attack pages). However, when I saw the username, I thought the user was affiliated with (or is) the subject. They blanked the page again, and this time I wasn't so sure about reverting them. I was thinking about leaving them a note about their username, but I had class to run to. I didn't think of the issue again (even though I was working on Wikipedia behind my teacher's back) until I got pinged. --I am  k6ka   Talk to me!   See what I have done  20:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help, Nthep and K6ka. Coincidentally, my REALLIFE boss just saw me typing this reply and asked if I was "hacking". The only issue I see now is that both Nusrat Imroz Tisha and Nusrat Imrose Tisha have 100% identical content. And actually, I can't find any evidence online of a separate, notable person with that name. Considering there is an IMDB page for the former spelling and not the latter, I am actually thinking that Nusrat Imrose Tisha should redirect to Nusrat Imroz Tisha. Either that or deletion, but I don't see a need for two identical pages to exist. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 20:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I hadn't picked up the duplicated Imroz Tisha articles - with the username I was confused as it was :-) Yes, Nusrat Imrose Tisha needs redirecting to Nusrat Imroz Tisha with an R from alternative name clarifier. Nthep (talk) 21:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yep, I tried to do exactly that and be WP:BOLD, but now I've been reverted again. It seems like a clear cut case to me, but maybe I'm missing something. So I'm going to step out rather than put myself up against the 3RR. —Hermionedidallthework (talk) 21:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

D3O
Hiya, please stop making revisions to my D3O page. I have emailed the company directly with my edits and they approve of the changes. Here are the reasons for my edits:

·        The Silly Putty reference is completely wrong - D3O is not also known as Silly Putty and the two have no connection at all ·        The phrase “The commercial material known as D3O is in essence polyurethane foam with traces of polyborodimenthylsiloxane” is far too simplistic and not really accurate. I appreciate that some of the info comes from the US Patent, but how it’s described on the article isn’t really accurate. I’d prefer to remove reference to Polyborodimethylsiloxane – for clarity and accuracy. ·        The article talks of one material called D3O – which is incorrect. In reality, D3O is the company and they have more than 25 different types of material that we’re using. This opening section, which you uploaded is entirely accurate: D3O is a British company specialising in impact protection and shock absorption technology. It became well known for its use of non-Newtonian liquids, particularly dilatants, which help soft and flexible materials to temporarily increase stiffness during impact. D3O® patented and proprietary technologies are now being used on more than 25 different energy-absorbing materials that are used in impact protection products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilaryjoyce (talk • contribs) 14:58, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
