Iris split
Hi! Why should the movie split off? There is not enough info on it, it is barely a tiny section there! And in any case it is not a separate move but a rearranged cut of the series, which makes for same plot, so part of the new article would be simply copy-paste from this one. There is no reaosn for splitting. 小龙 (Timish) # xiǎolóng de xìnxiāng  18:28, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

The Tragic Week (Argentina)
I hope you can keep an eye on this page. Some people are trying to whitewash history and lay the blame squarely on the Argentine military and police of that period. The Dirty War in Argentina was in reality a replay of the events that took place several decades earlier with the arrival of anarchists and bolsheviks from Europe and that culminated with the coup of General Uriburu. Under Uriburu the police arrested the labor agitators who were listed as communists or anarchists and the anarchist FORA soon withered and disappeared. --Carnevaron (talk) 23:43, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Scouts Canada logo
Calm down a sec here - it's not something that is worth getting in a huff over. If you look at the current logo they are using on scouts.ca it has the "logo on badge" design - not just the stylized campfire by itself.

 * It's not a matter of being the logo-we use the national emblem, not the logo, in the infobox. Your explanation does not hold water, so I'm going above you on this.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:37, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you point out where it is stating that - I see nothing in WikiProject Scouting/MOS - as for the logo size - it's been in violation of fairuse policy all along - nobody looked at it before in that context however -- Tawker (talk) 05:10, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, once you point out an instance the svg emblem was ever used in a size larger than 140 px, which has never been in violation of anything. You first. I'm not here to entertain your misinterpretations of policy.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:16, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Girls with Guns
Hi, you restored these entries to the See also section of Girls with Guns: I felt that these were inappropriate and excessive. A reader wishing to learn more about the topic wouldn't benefit from following these links. Several of them are movies which could perhaps be included in the list of movies, instead. I question whether Bond girls are "girls with guns" at all. That page describes them as love interests. They're certainly not protagonists. Pburka (talk) 23:50, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Dirty War Argentina Page Intro
Have added bit explaining that apart from being a period of "State Sponsored Terrorism" it was also a period of "guerrilla warfare" even prior to the military coup of 1976. I am providing you the following excerpt from the book Revolutionizing Motherhood: The Mothers of the Plaza De Mayo by Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard (p. 22) to prove the claim: The Montoneros established fronts in universities and shantytowns and assassinated union leaders, while the ERP prepared for renewed guerrilla warfare. In January 1974 it mounted an assault against the army garrison in the city of Azul. Right-wing violence was also on the rise, and an array of death squads was formed from armed sections of the large labor unions; parapolice organizations within the federal and provincial police; and the AAA (Alianza Anticomunista Argentina), founded by Peron's secretary of social welfare, Lopez Rega, with the participation of the federal police. Both sides funded their activities by kidnapping, blackmail, and robbery, and it was not uncommon for businesses to pay both right-and left-wing groups that threatened them. On July 1, 1974, the elderly President Peron died of heart failure and the fragile political settlement he had forged foundered. In the midst of rising political violence and economic inflation his widow Isabel assumed the presidency. Guerrilla warfare resumed against the army and police and, to a lesser degree, against union leaders and politicians. The ERP began a drive for control of Tucuman, and the Montoneros stormed an army garrison in Formosa. In 1974 the AAA murdered seventy intellectuals and alwyers; by 1975 it was assassinating fifty per week. Yielding to the armed forces and the police in November 1974, Isabel Peron's government decreed a state of siege, thereby giving the army free rein to deal with the guerrillas. The following year the army mounted a ruthless campaign agaisnt guerrillas in Tucuman and staged reprisals against those suspected of harboring htem. Five thousand troops were marshaled to crush 120 guerrillas, an indication of the repression forthcoming under the junta. --Rodolfoschneider (talk) 00:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

How to keep multiple logo's
To have a logo in an article, other that in the infobox, the logo can't be in a gallery and the article should discuss the artwork of the logo, like is done in Surinaamse Padvindsters Raad.

Flag(s) of the Confederate States of America
Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I just wanted to let you know I reversed your move of Flags of the Confederate States of America to Flag of the Confederate States of America per WP:BRD. I completely understand why you did it, but there are other articles titled thus, such as Flags of the Ottoman Empire. I think this is more appropriate for articles that generally discuss multiple flags associated with a country, compared to, say Flag of the United States which is primarily about one flag, though it contains information on others. If you'd like to move it back, you can open an RM. I'd appreciate a notification of this, though I'll probably notice it anyway. Thanks, BDD (talk) 23:58, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Dirty War Pg Now Mentions In The Intro The Aims Of The Guerrillas
For too long now there was only mention in the first few lines of Operation Condor and the Human Rights Abuses on the part of the Argentinian military junta, giving readers in the first few instances clearly a one sided account. Maybe a month or two ago a contributor added the lines in which it was made clear that the Dirty War was also a period that saw left-wing guerrillas waging war in order to establish a socialist regime, several years before the military coup of 1976. Unfortunately someone keeps removing the info about the guerrillas waging urban and guerrilla warfare to instal a socialist government that are backed up by sources, and instead inserts the following:

...and urban and rural guerrilla warfare aimed at left-wing guerrillas, political groups, and anyone perceived to be associated with socialism

This is clearly a manipulation of facts for the sources in question (Robben and Bouvard) and an online newspaper article available for all to see (GUERRILLAS STILL INTENT ON SOCIALISM) are talking about the violence of the left wing guerrillas and their political aims. The sources in question are not talking about the right wing death squads or the counterinsurgency campaign of the Argentinian military and police.

The vandal or vandals in question, are also trying to hide the fact that the current Pope has gone on record criticizing the violence of the left wing guerrillas. Instead they write:

Recently, the election of Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope Francis has caused controversy for his alleged failure to challenge and alleged collusion with the National Reorganization Process during his time as the Jesuit Provincial superior of Argentina.

As you can see with their rewriting of history no mention is made of the fact the pope criticized the left wing guerrillas even the accompanying source clearly mentions it.

I hope you can help keep and eye on this page and prevent these myth makers from getting their way.--SIUHM (talk) 08:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately I've been accused of revisionism. This is what Wee Curry Monster, formerly known as Justin A Kuntz (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Justin_A_Kuntz&action=history) has written after removing my edits in the intro page:

''Wikipedia isn't a platform for rewriting history as you seem to think, we're an encyclopedia. The text was perfectly neutral till you came along. There are plenty of fair minded wikipedians around and yes they will fix POV editing like yours.''

I would again like to point out the sources included in the paragraph in question, talk about the armed militancy of the ERP, Montoneros & other left wing guerrilla groups. These sources are not mentioning the activities of the right wing death squads and units of the Argentinian military & police which are already mentioned at the start of the intro when State Terrorism & Operation Condor is mentioned as being part of the Dirty War in Argentina. It looks like JUSTIN A KUNTZ (now reinvented as WEE CURRY MONSTER) is bent on denying the fact the Communist guerrillas of that period had taken up arms several years before the military coup of 1976. I hope you can help, because honestly I'm on my last legs.--SIUHM (talk) 06:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

WOSM map, again


Alright, I have listened to the criticisms and have attempted a compromise. Now only four categories, as outlined above. One has to make make some decisions in some areas - ergo the Isle of Man and Jersey and Guernsey are red because they appear to be served the as "regular" parts of the Scout Association (UK), in the same way that Alaska, DC and Hawaii are "normal" parts of the Boy Scouts of America, but the more "external" territories such as Gibraltar, Bermuda, St. Helena etc. are blue, as are Guam, the Northern Marianas, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for the US. Western Sahara is, as always, an anomaly, as the Moroccan and Spanish Scout organizations have a presence there, but I colored it lime green to indicate that the only "national" Saharoui (I think that's the correct demonym) is current unrecognized by the WOSM. I've left Antarctica grey rather than blue. I know there is a single Scout troop stationed there from Argentina, but that didn't seem enough to color in the whole continent in the name of one Scouting group. (In fact, I don't know if the WOSM has said anything about the jurisdiction over Antarctica, so I guess other countries are free to establish troops there if they want.) I have also colored in East Timor as lime green to indicate the fact that there is a Scout group there that is not, yet, recognized by the WOSM.

Reply to your message
Regarding this: User talk:Begoon/Archive 8

I should have replied earlier, but I was pretty upset at the time (still am, really)

You said: I saw the deletion forum on Commons, and voted delete myself. I count you a friend and would never knowingly have put you in an uncomfortable situation. I've explained at the deletion request, but I also want to say sorry here, and I don't want you to think ill of me, I never had any malintent. Your friend--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 22:49, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

As far as I can see, what you're apologising for is my being uncomfortable at having vectorised that image for you without realising what it was, so you voted to delete it, and removed it from your userpage out of deference to [my] obvious discomfort -.

I made a mistake when I didn't notice what the image was before working on it. If I thought about it at all (which I don't remember doing), I probably just thought it was an LGBT thing. Most likely I didn't think, and just did it as one of many requests I worked on in the Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop. It would have taken me a few minutes.

So you have no need to apologise to me for my mistake - that's something I have to deal with, and getting the file deleted was a step I took as part of that.

Where you say "I've explained at the deletion request", I see you say there: "...it was uploaded to the appropriate article, but now is only in my keep folder, mentioned above, which looks awk-waaard to say the least" - so I guess you're saying you thought it was ok to have in the article, but once it had been deleted from there it left you looking awkward.

All I can say to that is that I strongly disagree that we should be hosting that image, because of the use it would likely be put to by those who would download it.

I hope I'm not missing the point of the explanation - and if my starting the deletion request has had other consequences, they are not what I intended.

I think it's important that I can hold up my actions for scrutiny by my friends, my colleagues, and eventually, who knows, even my "maker", and I try to let that guide my decisions. I've done my very best to do that here. Begoon &thinsp; talk 02:46, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry that you are still upset. I am sincere in that I count you a friend, and I am vastly tired of people reading into what I say. I had no idea there was that rule on Commons, else the original image wouldn't have been there. I thought that meant it was okay. All I want is for you to be able to do your great images without fear of doing something you oughtn't, or that someone, anyone is misleading you. I was not and am not. That's all and I wish you well.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:09, 20 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. I don't think anyone has misled me about anything. All that happened was that I found out what the image was, thought about it, and decided I couldn't leave it there knowing that. That was my moral decision, to deal with my considerable distaste at being accidentally involved with it, and to get what I believe is an inappropriate image deleted. I will admit that I'm pretty much unable to understand people who would argue for keeping it, or who believe it's ok, knowing its uses, but that's all I've ever really said, or thought. I'll leave it at that, and hope I've at least explained my actions and motives. Begoon &thinsp; talk  05:18, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi there.

A couple of points. One is general - if you are tagging a redirect page, the tag must go at the top. Anything below the REDIRECT line won't display on the page. Second, the speedy tag is only for recent redirects. It's mainly to deal with things left from page moves and so on, PoV stuff, or probable vandalism and so on. If it's not fairly fresh, it has to go to RfD. Peridon (talk) 15:58, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Mass renaming of placename articles
You have recently renamed dozens/hundreds of articles - e.g. to "...placename etymology" and adding "List" at the start of page titles (e.g. [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Kintetsubuffalo&dir=prev&offset=20141005101916&target=Kintetsubuffalo]Special:Contributions/Kintetsubuffalo&offset=20141005133428&target=Kintetsubuffalo). Your edit summaries say "per discussion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2014 October 5", but (1) CFD is not the place that article names should be discussed, (2) that discussion doesn't mention the changes you're making (like "Aboriginal" vs "Native American") and (3) the CFD discussion hasn't concluded so it's premature to "per" it in edit summaries. In those I've looked at (e.g. the one reversed by User:Skookum1) I think the previous name was better. Do you have any explanation for the renaming ? Will you consider reversing the renames ? If not, do you have any reason why the renames should not be reversed by others. PS my apologies if any of this comes across to you as rude; that's not my intent, but I prefer to speak directly rather than to use allusions that risk being misunderstood. DexDor (talk) 19:03, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
 * @DexDor Thanks for finally speaking to me on this, that would have saved this mess from the outset. I was both clear and sincere in my request for feedback, and as clear that I knew that wasn't the place to discuss it but was unsure where it went. To answer your points (1) you already said that was not the place to discuss it and to strike through my request. I did. The other user told me to move the articles myself. I did that also. (2) Those 3 articles I corrected to "Native American", here's the rationale: Per Indigenous peoples of the Americas, the original peoples of the Americas are referred to as "aboriginals" only in Canada and Argentina. The US usage of the term usually refers to native Australians, vide the article "Aboriginal Australians, also referred to as Aborigines..." As these 3 were US topics, I used "Indigenous peoples of the United States are commonly known as Native Americans or American Indians" as a guideline, and likewise discarded "Indian" as an anachronism. (3) just as in (1) you already said that was not the place to discuss it and to strike through my request. The other user told me to move the articles myself. I followed both directions and from that point my input on that page was finished. Others can do what they will, I've expended more that enough time and frustration on this topic. I have no opposition to direct speaking, indeed I prefer it, but I temper it with AGF and try to assist those that may not be in the right venue.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 09:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

List of Australian place names changed from German names
Hi, just wondering why this article was moved? The edit summary mentions Categories for discussion/Log/2014 October 5 but I can't see anything on that page about this article being moved. Nor did I see any mention on the article's talk page about a proposed move. Kerry (talk) 22:37, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

No need...
... for this sort of thing - you are at liberty to remove messages from your talk page (including, of course, this one), but adding colour to your edit summaries in that way isn't helpful. Abusive editing can lead to blocks, y'know. BencherliteTalk 11:13, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * @Bencherlite-The troll had reverted me for no reason on a talk page, then sends me a snotty message three hours after I'd left the issue alone. They're blocked at present, for good reason, apparently abuse is a regular behavior for them. I'm no stranger to blocks myself, and don't shy away from being blocked-trolls need to be told exactly where to go and directions to get there, and it was cathartic for me which is most important. But I take your gentle tone, much appreciated, that goes a long way in this madhouse.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 11:26, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Scouting images
I have good news and bad news, I'm afraid. First the good: That just leaves the bad news: I do some simple stuff from my work computer, but I can't justify doing something like this at work, and I'd spend more than three weeks working 5-10 minutes a day doing it. It'd take less time to wait for my new computer. If you need them done soon, I would just put them up in the illustration workshop. There are some people there using Illustrator (I use inkscape) who wouldn't have my problems with the fonts. If you're willing to wait however, I'll get them done as soon as I can. MjolnirPants  Tell me all about it.  19:19, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I can most certainly whip up some .svg files from those images. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep the text as in-file text (I may need to explode to shapes), but as far as creating vector images go, I can certainly duplicate what you've given me quite well.
 * I recently got a new computer, and in the process of transferring all my stuff, I had to change permissions on my old HDD, which renders it unusable in the original machine. Once I finished, the integrated graphics on the new machine went kaput. So I have to return it and get a replacement before I can sit down and get to work, which could take up to three weeks.

Basutoland
I did some revamping on above article. The formatting must have caused a problem because much of the article does not appear, even though when you click edit, you will see the text is still there - e.g. I did not delete the districts bit that you added in but it does not show up on the page now. Perhaps you could have a look and see if you could fix. I saw you've edited the page in the past. I don't know what the problem is. Thanks. Anegada (talk) 16:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Zucchini
Hello, Kintetsbuffalo - I saw your recent edit to Zucchini. You moved a sentence to a place later in the same paragraph. While I think the new location makes more sense, I think the sentence itself is not needed, and I thought I'd ask you what you thought. Right before it, it says that meat is optional, which I think is sufficient, and after it, the paragraph continues to describe other optional things that can be added to zucchini. I think the sentence interrupts the flow of the sentences and is not necessary at all. This sentence would apply to any vegetable, or to many Italian dishes. If you agree, I'll delete the entire sentence. CorinneSD (talk) 18:13, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to let you know I removed the sentence based on a consensus at User talk:Sminthopsis84. Of course, if you disagree, please join the discussion. CorinneSD (talk) 19:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Guide or leader (Polish Scout instructor's rank)
Hi Kintetsubuffalo!

Perhaps merging is a good idea, but in my opinion the article about Guide (Scout rank) shouldn't be merge to general article. That's because I'm going to make links between three articles separately.
 * Przewodnik -> Guide
 * Podharcmistrz -> Sub-Scoutmaster
 * Harcmistrz -> Scoumaster

That is for maintaining order. On Wikidata connecting Przewodnik, Podharcmistrz and Harcmistrz to Ranks in Polish Scouting results in impossibility to go back to previous article by clicking at Languages.

I wonder which decision is better... Superjurek (talk) 16:15, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Origin of Scouting in Colorado
Question-- You originated the article about Scouting in Colorado, or at very least edited it heavily. I am looking for your source data for the start of Colorado Springs Council. Pikes Peak Council will be celebrating its 100 years in the Scouting movement shortly-- but all of the documents that I have from the 1930's suggest that the official Council was formed in April of 1917, not in 1916. I am hoping that you have some documents or know where I may find the information about it forming in 1916.

No personal attacks
I appreciate the good work you do here. However it is not acceptable to call another editor an "asshole" no matter what you think of the situation. We are a collaborative project and we need to treat each other with a minimum level of respect, even if we don't feel that way. This is not just my opinion but it is policy. No personal attacks is the relevant policy and it enjoys a strong consensus among the community. While isolated incidents can be dealt with using a warning repeated or egregious personal attacks may result in a block. Given your almost 10 years and 150,000+ edits and a negligible block log I am sure this was just a lapse and is not part of an ongoing pattern. Chillum 00:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Toby Suzuki.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Toby Suzuki.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:06, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Toby Suzuki.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Toby Suzuki.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 20:16, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
