 * Thanks. All blocked (I think). Page protected for 3 months. It was a bit of of an onslaught, been years since I saw an attack like that! Ron h jones (Talk) 23:05, 16 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for doing all those blocks and for the page protection! I was hoping the vandalism would calm down after the two accounts that were vandalising yesterday got blocked, but nope, my luck's not that good. Face-smile.svg Marianna251TALK 23:29, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Travelling salesman problem, -ise suffix
Hello, Marianna! I have noticed your edit to Travelling salesman problem directly after mine, in which you changed -ize into -ise. This is of course correct for British English, but please note that -ize is also correct (see Oxford spelling). The spelling of that article was prodominantly British, but it used many instances of the -ize suffix. Therefore I chose Oxford spelling for copy-editing the article. Since there is no close tie of the topic to the UK or Australia and since it's an academic topic, I think Oxford spelling is a good choice. Acopyeditor (talk) 21:18, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! I honestly did not know that Oxford English used the -ize suffix, apologies. It does seem bizarre to me, but then a lot of what Oxford does is bizarre... If you want to revert my edit back to yours, I have no objection. Face-smile.svg Marianna251TALK 15:56, 20 August 2016 (UTC)


 * OK, I will change it back to -ize. It's not just Oxford University Press, but many other publishers as well. And according to that Wikipedia article, Shakespeare used -ize. :) Acopyeditor (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2016 (UTC)


 * It's certainly not in common use in the UK, which is what I found confusing in an article that otherwise uses British English, although I understand the rationale for using Oxford English for a non-national academic topic. Aside from OED, though, it looks like only three other non-US English publishers use -ize, and then only in dictionaries alongside -ise spellings, so I'd watch out for more changes from -ize to -ise on that article simply because it's so odd to see. On the topic of Shakespeare, he lived in an era where standardised spelling was only just beginning to be considered necessary and never wrote his own name the same way twice, so he's an example of many things, but consistent spelling is not one of them. :) <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 21:15, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Colour/color
'hi, i changed "coulour ;)" to "color" in the elements of art, because it just seemed like someone was being a jerk about the spelling to have a laugh. why else would he have put a ";)" face on it? i take the elements of art seriously, and thusly changed it and reflected the spelling throughout for consistency.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.24.82.77 (talk) 20:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! Yes, I noticed that you changed the vandal edit, but you also amended "colour" to "color" on far more words. Elements of art is not a subject aligned to any particular nationality, so it's good practice to retain the regional variety of English used to write the article. That's why I reverted your edit. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 20:50, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AMarianna251 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.

Politician Editing
Hello! I'm trying to add factual information to Jennifer Sullivan's page but keep getting my info deleted. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.91.94.143 (talk) 18:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! Your edits seemed less than neutral to me, contravening Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, so I removed them. If you can provide a reliable source, such as a mainstream news outlet, then I'd be happy for you to re-add the edit. Your second attempt had much better wording, so I'd go with that. Let me know if you have any more questions! <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 18:34, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Frederick The Great
I think you made a mistake with your reversal of my edit, for which I see no justification. Please reconsider. 177.98.27.172 (talk) 16:59, 31 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Categorisation should be used for the defining characteristics of the subject of an article only, in order to avoid overcategorisation. Frederick the Great's sexuality is far from the most notable or defining aspect of his person, which is why it was removed the first time you added it and why I removed it the second time. If you think these should be added, you are welcome to create a discussion on the article's talk page. Please don't re-insert the edit again without gaining consensus since you may end up in danger of a block for edit warring. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 17:27, 31 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The entry itself cites a host of biographers who say of Frederick's sexuality that it "was central to his life and character", and I don't know what authority you have to contradict them. Frederick is also included in no less than four categories used for musicians, even though his flute playing was but a hobby and by no means what he's most notable about. If you're so concerned about overcategorization, why don't you go remove those four categories, instead of getting so red and mad about a couple LGBT ones? 177.98.27.172 (talk) 18:15, 31 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, please remember to be civil and assume good faith when interacting with other editors. Edits made by other people are pretty much irrelevant, since we're talking about your edit, not anyone else's. I'm glad that you want to improve Wikipedia, so if you really feel it's important to have those categories on the page, please start a discussion on the article's talk page and get a consensus before making any further edits. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 18:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Protecting a Page
Hi Marianna,

Thank you so much for your feedback on the IAVA page earlier. Do you have any tips on how to protect a page from vandalism? I'm trying to do that for the IAVA page now, but I can't figure it out. Thanks! :)

Best, Joe — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeLincoln (talk • contribs) 22:39, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi JoeLincoln, Requests for page protection is the place you're looking for. However, it should be noted that pages are normally only protected in cases of significantly high amounts of vandalism or other such forms of disruptive editing (see also Protection policy). Looking through the history of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, I only noticed maybe two or three anon edits that could be considered vandalism within the past week. You could request the page be semi-protected now but your request may be declined. I would wait first, and if the vandalism gets worse later on, request it be semi-protected at WP:RFPP. Sro23 (talk) 23:12, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, let's be clear. is a single-purpose account and it  to surmise there's a conflict of interest. Joe/Edgar would do well to leave the article alone before Wikipedia takes action.  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 23:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

My changes
You have said my changes were one-sided, but the entire entry in one-sided. I am one of the attorneys for the Legal Alliance to Stop Geoengineering and its a fact that we have the scientific data to support our claims. Not only that CIA Director Brennan and several professors come out and admitted to geoengineering. We have filed a 60-day notice under the citizen suit provisions of the Clean Water Act and the Safe Drinking Water Act. Those links can be found on http://www.stopgeoengineeringlegalalliance.com

Without mention of these things (facts) Wikipedia is very misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobby24601 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 1 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! I can see that you feel very strongly about this, but Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, which means there are certain things that it is not. Any edits need to have reliable, published sources, be worded neutrally, and must not contain original research. The conflict of interest policy also strongly discourages editing articles that you are personally involved in. I've added a welcome template to your talk page with helpful links to get you started - I recommend reading WP:RELIABLE, WP:NOR and WP:NPOV to start with.


 * If you have any questions, you can add the template to your user talk page along with the question. An experienced editor will then reply directly on your talk page. Hope this helps! <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 17:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

I fail to understand how you could not mention the 60-day notice I mentioned in my edits. That is factual. Please explain. Bobby24601 (talk) 19:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi again. The problem is that the 60-day notice is completely and utterly irrelevant to the reason I reverted your edit. These are the important points:


 * Edits on Wikipedia must be verifiable, which means they need reliable, published sources - which you didn't provide.
 * Edits must not contain original research - which your edit was since you've said it comes from your personal experience.
 * Edits must be neutral - if the original article is leaning in one direction, tipping it the other way doesn't make it neutral.
 * You have a conflict of interest when it comes to the California drought manipulation conspiracy theory article - which means you are strongly discouraged from editing that article at all.


 * I don't want to seem harsh or make it sound like your desire to improve Wikipedia isn't appreciated, because it most definitely is. However, you need to be clear that Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought or a soapbox/means of promotion. If you're here to promote your cause, you're in the wrong place. That's not a comment on your cause itself; simply that Wikipedia is not the place for it. I hope that's clear. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 01:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Re: September 2016
The name of the Countess of Iguaçu was Maria Isabel de Alcantara Brasileira, not Maria Isabel de Alcantara Bourbon, so my edit was legitimate. In the Portuguese Language wikipedia, her correct name is given. Also, she would never have the surname of the House of Bourbon. Her father was a member of the House of Braganza. He only had Bourbon in his name because his mother, Queen Carlota of Portugal, was a Spanish Princess from that House. Therefore, Bourbon is the surname of Maria Isabel's maternal grandmother's family. But all the children of Pedro I born out of wedlock (even those that he recognized) were given the surname Brasileiro (for male offspring) or Brasileira (for females). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.91.66.201 (talk) 19:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! Thanks for the info. However, I reverted your edit because the source gives her last name as Bourbon, and you didn't provide a reliable source of your own. You're welcome to re-add the edit, but please make sure to include a source if you do so. Quick request - please sign your talk page messages with ~ .

 * The message I left on your talk page was a standard template available for use to all Wikipedia editors. It was harsher than the preceding messages precisely because you'd already received two previous warnings for editing problems. I appreciate your attempt to provide a source, but you clearly didn't read the reliable sources policy as you'd been advised, because the source you gave was a forum message and therefore not appropriate. I'm really glad that you want to improve Wikipedia, but at the moment your edits are disruptive.
 * Right now, the best thing to do is to read through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. There's a lot there, but it's there for a reason! If you want to make an edit but you're not sure if it's okay, you can add a message to the article's talk page asking for other editors to comment.

Eddie Gil Article
We knew the guy personally and we are furious about your article. How's this: we edit the article, truth about his case and you never have to edit it again. The Supreme Court of Mauritius dismissed the case against Mr. Gil and he won regarding fraud a long time ago. He was falsely accused. So where is your source coming from? The newspaper and media? Come on. I'm going to post the article showing he already won the case. So please no further editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IvanAbrenica (talk • contribs) 13:31, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

Irrelevant Information
Hi Marianna251

I deleted the article regarding issues about the Mauritius case. I represent Eduardo Gil, as he was my family's friend. He requested all articles regarding his case to be deleted as this was irrelevant. He won the case and we have proof to show you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IvanAbrenica (talk • contribs) 11:22, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi! I understand your perspective; however, the information you deleted was notable and sourced. You can add information about the case you won if you feel it appropriate - although you should read the conflict of interest policy first - but please note that Wikipedia is not censored and I see no valid reason to remove the information regarding Gil's arrest and subsequent imprisonment.
 * I've seen that you've re-removed the content three times now. This means you're in danger of breaching Wikipedia's edit warring policy and the three revert rule. I strongly advise you not to make any more edits to the page without discussing it on the article's talk page first, as breaching 3RR can lead to you being blocked from editing.

The reasons for removal have been previously discussed in the link above, this is from 2010. Dufc6 (talk) 14:07, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth the 2010 discussion mentioned does not express a consensus to remove. The deletion was pushed by people who probably have a conflict of interest and by other editors who don't know what tabloid format is. I think I'd be ok with the deletion per WP:UNDUE but you need to make an actual argument and use appropriate edit summaries. Then again, you're not here to contribute so I shouldn't be surprised that you don't know what you're doing. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 15:25, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello there
Please check https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Physicist&diff=747513940&oldid=747512503 and edits after this. For the lead https://i.imgsafe.org/8d1e1752c8.jpg, the rest is just keeping it as it was. There is no original research there. The edits after version 747512503 is consistent with wp:promotional many of the new links are there to promote the idea physicist are also engineers. But the links that have engineer word is associated with research areas where a physicist can work. If you think I am missing something with this judgement kindly do notify.117.213.19.216 (talk) 20:33, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The primary issue at this point is that you are edit warring to restore your preferred version of the page. The version you are restoring actually has fewer reliable sources, has more spelling and grammar errors, and includes some incredibly contentious statements such as "Physics is a liberal arts education for a technological society said Joseph Pimbley through Physics Today" (which is also an example of the terrible grammar). The version you're removing does not actually come across to me as promotional in any way; WP:PROMOTIONAL refers to linkspam and/or advertising for a specific business. Stating that a physicist can be an engineer is not promotional, particularly given that it's supported by sources from the American Institute of Physicists.
 * This is very much a content dispute, not an uncontroversial reversion of promotional material. Instead of repeatedly reverting to your preferred version of the page, please discuss potential changes on the article's talk page. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 20:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * We might not be on the same page of seeing the problem. I reverted to the said version after checking them and added back links which showed relevance, this is identifiable. Would you be open to "Physics is a liberal arts education compared to technology related fields". I find the engineering inject to be an opinion piece to advocate pet point of view (What_Wikipedia_is_not) plus as I said before the links that have engineer word is associated with research areas where a physicist can work so taking an affirmative stand physicist are also engineers is misleading at best. Plus traditional physics degrees doesn't have an engineering angle for physics graduates to be called as an engineer. Degrees earned through Faculty of Engineering like Engineering Physics http://careers.queensu.ca/sites/webpublish.queensu.ca.cswww/files/files/Major%20Maps/2015/Engineering%20Physics%20WEB.pdf could be called as an engineer but never as a physicist or there should be clear sources to clear that up without putting engineering here and there in the article. Profiles shown in APS also confirms that Physicists who work in engineering divisions are PhD scholars or Post Docs with interdisciplinary (not related to physics) continuing education but this couldn't be added directly without a source due to possible original research tagging. This is why I consider this (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Physicist&oldid=7475154200) to be a non-promotional reversion till ample sources are there to prove it otherwise. The list of careers were also linked why remove those references and revert to a list with areas that have no relation or added without reference after ClueBot NG revert of vandalism (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Physicist&oldid=725617567)....Also I like to know about the lead based on this https://i.imgsafe.org/8d1e1752c8.jpg, it was changed as per your previous suggestion. Even though the page is blocked (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&diff=747512804&oldid=747512647) while we were discussing I would like to see the reply.


 * I've added a new section to the article's talk page, since that seems to be the better venue for this discussion. Please take a look, and remember to sign your talk page comments with ~ . Thank you!

WP:TPO gives more info. Please don't do this again as it can be construed as malicious, even if that's not your intention, and lead to you being blocked from editing. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 22:58, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

IP vandal
Thanks for putting in the vandalism complaint just now (I thought I had done it but not realised I was submitting at the same time as someone else, so didnt go through...). I doubt this is the end of it, given the ban earlier this year but maybe it'll sink in this time. Thankfully there were a fair few of us keeping an eye out on their actions to keep reverting it.

the page was created by me on wiki Charvi Saraf
mentioned article was made by me and now I dont want it on wikipedia please help me in deleting it


 * Normally, nominating the article for deletion and creating the deletion discussion - as you have done - would be what you need to do. Anyone can object to the deletion, however, and the community may decide to keep the page. Simply creating the article does not mean that you own it.
 * However, I've double-checked the page's history, and if you really want it deleted then it looks like you can request a G7 speedy deletion. This is where the article's creator (you) is the only one to have made substantial contributions to the page and you request its deletion (see WP:G7). In that case, you would be able to blank the page without it being vandalism. The way to do this is to put at the top of the page.
 * One last thing - could you sign your talk page comments with ~ ? This makes it easier to see who's left a message.

 * Hi again! For new articles, the article wizard gives you a helpful walkthrough. Before you do anything else, though, you should read what Wikipedia is not, particularly that Wikipedia is not for promotion, and the conflict of interest guidelines.


 * The semi-protected article you mentioned is an example of a conflict of interest. Basically, if you're editing a page concerning someone you know or something else you have a relationship with, then you have a conflict of interest, and it's best not to edit those pages at all. The problem is that a lot of COI edits will not be appropriate for Wikipedia and therefore will be reverted. If you're sure an edit is appropriate, then the edit requests page tells you how to ask for an edit. You should also take note of the notability guidelines - if you create an article doesn't meet them, then it's highly likely that it will be deleted.


 * For general advice, it looks like left you a welcome message on your talk page with some very useful links. The best advice I can give you is to stop editing for now, read through those links and the ones I've given here, and make sure that the edits you want to make actually conform to Wikipedia's policies. If they don't conform, they will always be removed. Hope this helps. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 18:16, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

 * You've removed vast swathes of content supported by reliable sources from the page and replaced it with "USA TODAY". This is pretty blatant vandalism. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 20:28, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

- The USA TODAY thing I think was left behind from using WYSIWYG editor. Information removed is information I originally added and I've come to find that it's not good information directly from the person the page is literally about. I understand why it might look like vandalism, but I assure you it is not.. There are simply real life ramifications to my hastily adding incorrect information to the page in the first place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klismo (talk • contribs) 20:35, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

- At this point I legit would be okay with having my account suspended/deleted/banned/placed on watch to have my edits put in. I am by no means a vandal and sincerely implore you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klismo (talk • contribs) 20:56, 9 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Please understand that you removed content cited to deadspin.com, gq.com, and businessinsider.com, among others. If you think their reportage is wrong you need to visit WP:RSN or discuss your issues on the talk page. You don't have consensus for your edits and you've already been reverted multiple times. You can be blocked if you continue this bad behavior. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:17, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

- I'm not trying to be blocked and "continue this bad behavior" is a little over the top as that all happened in the span of a couple minutes and I haven't tried again. Is there a non-public place that I can explain my reasons for these edits? If so, the issue is pretty important and I would like to explain myself in a way that others can't see.

 * Apologies for the delayed response! It looks like the AfD discussion has finished with a consensus to delete the article, so this is kind of moot, but I'll do my best to answer anyway.


 * AfD discussions last 7 days, apart from some very rare exceptions, and since you're an involved party as the creator of the page you can't close the discussion yourself. You have to let the community decide whether or not to keep the article. You can keep editing it in the meantime, but - as I said in our previous conversation, if the subject of the article fails the notability guidelines, then it will likely be deleted. It looks like that's what happened here. <b style="border:1px solid #613B3B; color:#FFF; background-color:#B38989; padding: 0px 2px;">Marianna251</b><b style="padding:2px; font-size:80%;">TALK</b> 11:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
