Hello Neil,

I understand that you have reverted my edit. All I wanted to explain is I am NOT promoting my business. Just because the video is created by my company, does not mean that you can consider it spam. I would like to bring to your attention that such information is not available anywhere in the internet it will be useful to wiki User. I would also take this opportunity to point out that the information I have shared on wiki is unique and is not available anywhere in the net.

As far as your message about the links go, I do not want a backlink or SEO value from these information. Let me also explain you that the links were pointing to a YouTube video. This is not leveraging my website in any SEO value. I would request that you read/see/hear the content first and then make a decision whether it is a spam or it is really valuable to the user of wiki. Just because we created it, does not mean we are promoting it. We have never used any promotional language or advertising speech in the video.

3RR in Indian Foreign Service Article
Dear NeilN,

I had reverted back 3 time on aricle 'Indian foreign service' malafied and unresobnable reverts by unregistered user IP 116.74.12.42. I was not aware of 3RR Rule and more so I was not aware of diluting the quality of article and malafide editing by aforementioned user was already being observed by you and had already been issued warning by administrator. I regret my not keeping with rules. I only wanted to restore quality and integrity of article as all addition were duly referenced from reliable sources and all pictures added were relevant and in public domain.

As far as my 3RR is concerned, I have read carefully rules regarding 3RR and reverted my own latest revert as advised in article. Hope you will consider my mistake and also restore quality of article. Regret and Regards. Writereditor009 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Writereditor009 (talk • contribs)

So Sad with Wikipedia
I am an atheist, but found that Cherub article to be so slanted for Judaism up front, with little info on what a cherub is, exactly. I quoted the Bible with passages as sources; and you deleted my edits as unsourced--despite the Judaic texts in the article taken as word.

If I was a fourth grader trying to find the definition of "Cherub," your page would chap my brain. Wikipedia used to be the brand we all trusted--because we thought it was *us*. But now it is impossible to contribute. Your editors are mostly control freaks, the right-wing religious slant is stifling, the pages are filled with self-promoters & vanity press of dime store artists who put their own pages up, and blocks on anyone editing who isn't an insider--you have turned into the information control horror that you started to fight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OhStop (talk • contribs) 01:04, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi Denimadept. Although OhStop is blocked for socking, let me answer you. The issue is not citing passages, the issue is providing secondary sources for the interpretations he's adding. This is a prime example: "Gabriel, because he has been involved in major Biblical events, is likely one of the Archangels (though the Bible does not directly say so - see Daniel 8:15 - 16)." There's no cite to biblical scholarship provided to back up that statement. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 05:31, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Ahmadiyya Caliphate
Hello

Consider this opening statement of belief: "The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community ... believes that the Ahmadiyya Caliphate ... is the re-establishment of the Rashidun Caliphate ...." This is an opinion altho it may have a reference from one of their own community theology books.

Now consider my edit in terms of the above belief statement of the Ahmadiyya community and the below explanation:

If you believe that the Ahmadiyya Caliphate established (after the passing away of the community's founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmad) is the re-establishment of the Rashidun Caliphate and which belief as you well know is a belief that no Muslim accepts, therefore the researcher/reader on Islamic topics has the right to know why that Ahmadiyya belief (about the re-establishment of the Rashidun Caliphate) is unacceptable to the Muslim majority (assuming that the Ahmadiyya can still be considered a minority Muslim sect in spite of all Muslim sects denying them any Muslim recognition) vis-a-vis the Muslim beliefs as follows:

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and their Caliphate are considered heretical by all Muslim groups due to one deep theological difference. The Quran asserts that:
 * Mohammad is not the father of any of your men but he is the Messenger of God and the Seal (the last and final) of the Prophets. (Quran 33:40)

Prophet Mohammad also had said:
 * Indeed there shall be thirty imposters in my Ummah, each of them claiming that he is a Prophet. But I am the last of the Prophets. There is no Prophet after me.

It's simply a matter of putting forward both referenced belief i.e. one against another referenced belief. I have no axes to grind against the Ahmadiyya. In fact I think it would have been better for the Ahmadiyya not to have mentioned anything about their Caliphate which makes no sense in Islam because it is against the belief system of a billion plus Muslims as opposed to their estimated 10 million(?) Ahmadiyyas worldwide. How are 10 million excommunicated Muslims going to push thru their candidate for a Muslim Caliph against that of one billion Muslims? Really it is altogether an absurd situation.

Please let me know if you need more explanations. In the meantime I have cancelled your revert.

Please also inform whether you are a Wiki Administrator since you are threatening to block me as if you are one. Salim e-a ebrahim (talk) 07:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
 * This is classic synthesis which is not allowed here. "Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources.... If one reliable source says A, and another reliable source says B, do not join A and B together to imply a conclusion C that is not mentioned by either of the sources." As to your admin question, looking over your past edits I see that you seem to be fixated if editors are administrators or not. No one has seemed to have told you this explicitly so I will: It does not matter. Admins do not have any special powers to judge content or to hand out warnings. Anyone can do so. If an admin does that, they are acting as a regular editor. Their admin powers are used for performing the actual block, after the editor to be blocked has disregarded enough warnings which, again, can be issued by anyone. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 08:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Internet TV Inventor
Hi Neil, the article by Bob Metcalfe (the inventor of the Ethernet) was in an InfoWorld article dated 12/18/95 based on an interview with me (John Bentley) while demonstrating the Viewcall STB entitled "Couch Potatoes armed with Viewcall can surf the Web through the tube. It went on to say in a 2 page review that "we are watching our first intervision" as he explained the first internet on TV.There are numerous references to Viewcall on the Net and the later sale of its business to NetChannel an Oracle subsidiary. I invented TV internet well before anyone else and Viewcall was my company. In the light of other claims I simply want to put the record straight for reasons of Internet and TV history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beekyman (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Beekyman. "we are watching our first intervision" does not mean you invented TV Internet. It simply means it was Metcalfe's first experience with it. Where is the two page review? All I found was Metcalfe's column. Also, please read our conflict of interest guidelines. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 16:31, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

TV Internet Inventor
There is a Catch 22 in what you are asking. Before my giving the interview for the Metcalfe article no person had claimed they had invented Internet TV, and indeed nor have they now although some writers now attribute it to Microsoft or Oracle. In fact the product had no name other than Viewcall or OnTV as Viewcall later called it, since it had not been invented by anyone else or even thought about. I have other inventions to my name and do not generally boast about them but I am just trying to put the record straight for historic purposes.

Metcalfe is a very well known TV industry figure and himself the industry acknowledged inventor of the Ethernet. His InfoWorld publication was an authoritative industry publication and he was the first knowledgeable journalist in the US to whom I demonstrated the Viewcall STB which was also exhibited at the CES exhibition of that date, and had been demonstrated some months earlier in London.

This seems to me to fit your conditions that an invention must be witnessed by some other recognized person or publication other than the inventor who lays claim to it. The University of Montreal also published a review entitled L'Etat d'Internet in 1999 which described me as follows:" Indeed, although one allots the invention of Internet on Television to a certain John Bentley, a British (sic) who was the first to put on the market of the consoles giving access to the Web by the means of television this one and his company disappeared early from the race because they did not have the funds to compete with WebTV Networks and Microsoft."

Metcalfe gave it the name of "Intervision" and his article makes it clear that what he was watching was in effect the forerunner of what Microsoft later called Web TV and what Oracle called the Network Computer since it was Oracle who purchased the business of Viewcall through their subsidiary NetCannel Inc. There are numerous references to this purchase on the net but they do not say I was the inventor since Oracle liked to lay claim to it as their product, but not that they had invented it. Viewcall America purchased the rights for Viewcall's product from Viewcall Ltd of the UK and acknowledged me as the Founder of both Viewcall Ltd and Viewcall America Inc, both of which companies I was a director. There is no article that says I was the inventor of Internet TV since I did not go looking for kudos, but neither has any other individual laid claim to it, unsurprisingly since they did not invent it. If this means you refuse to recognize any inventor simply because he is modest enough not to have gathered up sufficient evidence to suit you purposes then so be it, but then the truth of the record, which I assume is your purpose on Wikipedia, cannot therefore ever be recorded, and so the public are left either in the dark or with a false impression given by those with power and money to suppress the original inventor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beekyman (talk • contribs) 17:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia's purpose is not to be the record of truth, but rather to report on what reliable sources say is the truth. This is straight from one of the core policies: "In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." Do you have more information about the University of Montreal review? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 17:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Neal. I respect the need Wikipedia has to ascertain sufficient independent appraisals. I will contact the University of Montreal to see if they have a web link to their review of the Web industry in 1999, in which the words I quoted to you are contained, and of which I have a physical hard copy. Is a link to the University a necessity or can its review be linked to another web site? It does have the name of the University on the heading, although it is a translation from the original French. If this cannot be found then perhaps the second best way it can be done is to ascribe Viewcall as the company which originated Internet on TV of which there is a fair amount of evidence, and then make it clear I was its founder.

In passing I would remark that as an inventor, as I imagine with most others, the thought of the invention comes into ones head as a vision and so cannot be shared at that moment with anyone, and if it was then that person too could possibly lay claim to it. It is possible the reason why so many inventions are contended. The world tends to understand an inventor as the first person to show an original product in some sort of working order. I did this,both in London and with Bob Metcalfe in the US, but in the name of Viewcall, a company,of which I was the founder and main stockholder. My vision took three years to complete as a product, having the need to raise the necessary funds, to research the available hardware, and to re-engineer it, and to outline the software requirements that would make the net appear acceptable on a TV screen with the novel fractal use of images. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beekyman (talk • contribs) 18:37, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Sources do not have to be accessible via the web, they just have to be accessible to the general public (e.g., in a library or archive). In order to use the source on Wikipedia enough info needs to be given to identify it (journal title, article title, date, author) and to ascertain what weight to give to it (e.g., a review by an undergrad for the university paper will carry no weight while a published overview in a paper by a professor will carry significant weight). --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 18:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beekyman (talk • contribs) 11:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC) Hi Neil. this morning I re-edited the Wikipedia Internet TV site as you have previously stipulated with authoritative evidence of references:- a) in InfoWorld Magazine that John Bentley of Viewcall demonstrated the first Internet TV product at Comdex to Bob Metcalfe in December 1995. Metcalfe is a Professor Emeritus and the inventor of the Ethernet whose reputation cannot be disputed. b) that the highly authoritative British Guardian Online newspaper in January 1996 reported Viewcall's world first Internet TV product and that John Bentley was Chairman of Viewcall. c) that the authoritative US BYTE magazine reported Viewcall in April 1996 as having the first Internet TV product d) the press report in April 1997 that NetChannel purchased Viewcall. NetChannel being a subsidiary of Oracle e) the several page interview of Ruel Set Top magazine between its editor and John Bentley entitled "John Bentley Inventor of Internet TV"

Ruel Magazine is now defunct but was a widely read internet TV industry magazine for a decade or more.

By refusing to let this information be published you are suppressing the truth of the invention of Internet TV and giving no contrary evidence. Not least that Viewcall was the first to demonstrate it which is referenced in all of a,b,c,d and e above. secondly that John Bentley was the demonstrator, thirdly that he was Chairman of Viewcall Ltd when its product was demonstrated. fourthly that it became the Network Computer of Oracle, and fourthly as reported in detail in 1999 in Ruel Magazine that John Bentley was the Inventor Of Internet TV, which has never been disputed by any other party. Additionally all of these references can be found on the www.johnbentley.biz web site as I had previously pointed out to you. If you do not respond satisfactorily I will take my case to the owner of Wikipedia directly whose object I feel sure was that Wikipedia should be an instrument of the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beekyman (talk • contribs) 14:04, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Lastly, the owner of Wikipedia is the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization. Employees of the WMF, acting on behalf of the WMF, cannot dictate article content unless there's some legal issue involved (very rare - I believe there's only one article out of 4+ million under Foundation control). Volunteer editors such as those working on Internet television will always dictate content for the other 4+ million - 1 articles.

My edit to the Qatar pages is not just attributable to The Daily Beast.

"Additionally, Qatar is one of the biggest donors to ISIS (no called IS or Islamic States). IS continues to threaten and kill Christians, other Muslims and those who do not believe in their fanatical brand of Islam." is not encyclopedic language.

Dear Neil,

The relevant passage reads:

"It was in his manifestation as the Sovereign Healer that Buddha Shakyamuni delivered the following teachings (comprising the Ambrosia Heart Tantra)". ibid.

Dr. Yeshi Dhonden. Yeshi Dhonden's qualifications are impeccable. Among other peerless achievements, he was personal physician to the present Dalai Lama for 20 years.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshi_Donden

Also see http://yeshidhonden.com/

From the brief biography of Dr. Yeshi Dhonden: Dr. Yeshi Dhonden was born in Lhoka, Tibet on 15th May 1927 to Mr. Tashi Tsering and Mrs. Metok Dolkar. His family comes from the popular medical lineage of Ngok Lotsawa and Ngok Choeku Dorjee. He is very genius that he has finished his medical training at a very tender age of twenty. In 1960 he took up the challenge to found Men Tsee Khang, the Tibetan Medical College and was succeeded.He was both Director and principal until 1979.

Yeshi Dhonden is a Buddhist monk and was Dalai Lama’s personal physician for about twenty years from 1960 to 1980. His primary goal was to prove that these Tibetan formulas were safe and non toxic and have successfully done it. He now uses Tibetan herbal medicines and diet for curing cancer. Since 1967, he has long list of patients seeking his care and help at his clinic in Mcleod Ganj, Dharamsala.

Dr. Yeshi Dhonden is one of the foremost Tibetan doctors of the world. Over the last 50 years, he has successfully treated patients with all kinds of ailments. One of his specialties is cancer. He has treated thousands of cancer patients from all over the world, including women with breast cancer. His treatment basically includes ancient Tibetan herbal therapies. He is a successful doctor in treating diseases such as AIDS and cancer. He even gave life to the patients who are in last stage.

With respect to your question about being a historian, Dr. Yeshi Dhonden is a Tibetan Buddhist medical doctor and monk. The citation does not say anything about historians, it says that the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, as expressed here by the Dalai Lama's personal physician, states that the Ayurveda text Heart of Amrita (Ambrosia Heart Tantra, Kelsang 1977) was preached by the Buddha, which would place the provenance of the text north India around 500BC - centuries before all the other leading Ayurveda textbooks.
 * Given Dhonden's clear impetus to promote Buddhism, and lack of qualifications as a historian, I don't think he's an acceptable source for, "The Four Tantras are traditionally held by Tibetan Buddhist lineages to have been preached by Lord Buddha several centuries before the appearance of any other Ayurveda text." --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Do you or do you not agree that the Dalai Lama represents Tibetan Buddhism? Next, the Dalai Lama's personal physician definitely represents Tibetan Buddhism. The view expressed by the Dalai Lama's Tibetan physician is the same view as the Dalai Lama's himself. Contrary to your claim, it is not in the Dalai Lama's interest to undertake mere self-promotion. Due to these facts, it is not incorrect to state that the Tibetan Buddhist tradition holds that the Buddhist Ayurveda treatise, Ambrosia Heart, of the Heart of Amrita, was preached by the Buddha, which places its composition many centuries before any of the later Ayurveda textbooks. The view of Dr. Dhonden is that:

"It was in his manifestation as the Sovereign Healer that Buddha Shakyamuni delivered the following teachings (comprising the Ambrosia Heart Tantra)". ibid.

Ejaculatory edit
Given the text I added is properly sourced and relevant to the topic section, Volume, why did you revert my additions to the original?

If there is a comment on Hypospermia there should be a comment on Hyperspermia as well as clarification on normal volumes.

I will be adding my edit again but await to hear your reasons with anticipation.--BigBearLovesPanda (talk) 14:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi BigBearLovesPanda. It was because this is questionable as a reliable source and it's definitely not a WP:MEDRS. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the quick reply. I did have doubts about this but as it had references on the page I thought that may be adequate, much like a university medical text book. I'm sure my Hyperspermia citation is compliant as it is used on the Hyperspermia article page and Flyer22 thinks it probably is a WP:RS. I'll double check and add the reference again if it is compliant. By the way, thanks for the feedback re my references, I'm rather inexperienced at the Wiki editing malarkey and it's 20 years since I wrote my thesis so I'm a bit rusty but I know how important it is so I will hope to do better next time.--BigBearLovesPanda (talk) 17:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

I have copy of a letter dated 4 June 1947 which was my source for including the names of the first batch of IFRS officers.

If you had asked me for that source rather than simply removing my post I would have understood.

FYI, the last name on that list was my father!

I do not know who you are or why you have taken upon yourself to be the guardian on the IFS page, I do not care.

If you send me your email I will gladly send you that letter, but only if my edit is added back on.

Even though hosted on the Harvard website, isn't his CV a self published source? Section - "Awards and Honours" - faculty profile as sourcing - Reliable? Could you take a look?  NQ    talk  06:13, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi NQ. Yes, it's a WP:BLPSPS. It's probably reliable as lying on a CV hosted by Harvard would get the author torn apart. However that doesn't address the question of WP:UNDUE. Secondary sources are also useful with determining what is important enough to belong in a biography. For example, is "Harvard University Certificate of Distinction for Teaching Undergraduates" really notable? I don't think so but who knows without secondary-source coverage? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you're right. Awards and certificates for "developing second year course material" and "for teaching undergraduates" have no place there. I'd recommend scrapping that entire section and maybe include the important honors in the body itself. A quick web search shows only him being mentioned getting the 'Raman Subramanian Prize' and the 'McGillicuddy Doctoral Fellowship'. So probably those awards aren't that significant or to say the least, important enough to include in the biography.   NQ    talk  05:50, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Dear NeilN, Raju Suryavamshi and Chandra Vamshi
Dear NeilN,

Many thanks for the help. Apologies posting in your blog.


 * Please find the below proofs for raju suryavamshi and chandra vamshi
 * I have provided the proofs many times, someone wantely deleting,
 * can you please help to update the below releable information for raju suryavamshi and chandra vamshi

proofs for raju suryavamshi - Indian Archaeology reports from temples '''No. 45. (A.R. No. 491 of 1906.)''' Pulivendla, Pulivendla Taluk, Cuddapah District. On a slab set up at the entrance of the Ranganathasvamin temple. Krishnaraya, AD 1509. This is dated Saka 1431, Sukla, Kartika su. 12, corresponding to AD 1509, October 24, which was, Wednesday. It records a gift of the village Kunddal Kundu to the god Sri Ranga Raju of Pulivindla by Narasayya Deva Maharaju, brother of Basava Raju, son of Tamma Raju, grandson of Valla Bharaya and great-grandson of Bejawada Madhava Varma of Vasishtha-gotra and Surya-vamsa. The gift village is said to be situated in Pulivindalasthala, a subdivision of Mulkinadu in Gandhi Kotasima of Udayagiri Rajya.
 * (Proof1)

'''No. 201. (A.R. No. 161 of 1905.)''' Markapur, Markapur Taluk, Kurnool District. On the east wall, left of entrance, of the antarala-mandapa in the Chenna-kesava-svamin temple. Sadasiva, AD 1555. This is dated Saka 1476, Ananda, Magha su. 7, corresponding to AD 1555, 29 January.
 * (Proof2)

It records a gift of the various toll incomes due from the 18 villages, viz., Marakarapuram, Channavaram, Konddapuram, Yachavaram, Rayavaram, Gonguladinna, Tarnumbadu, Surepalli, Vanalapuram, Chanareddipalle, Gangireddipalle, Korevanipalle, Medisettipalle, Gollapalle, Jammuladinna, Tellambadu, Kamalpuram and Kondapalli to god Chennakesava by Maha Mandalesvara Madiraju Narappadeva Maharaju, son of Aubhalayya Deva Maharaju, grandson of Maha Mandalesvara Madiraju Singa Raju Deva Maharaju, of Kasyapa-gotra and Surya-vamsa, and nephew of Maha Mandalesvara Rama Raju Thirumalaraju. The gift villages are said to be situated in Kochcherla Kotasima which was held by the donor as Nayankara from the king. Records in addition that the lanjasunkham (levy on prostitutes) collected during the festivals at Marakapuram was also made over to the temple and that fie out of every six dishes of offerings to the deity, were to be made over to the satra (feeding house) for feeding paradesi Brahmanas of the smartha sect, the sixth dish being the share of the sthanikas, the adhikaris and the karanas.

This is dated Saka 1478 (current), Rakshasa, Sravana ba. 7 corresponding to 9 August 1555,(Friday). The record is damaged and fragmentary. It seems to register a gift (of land) to god Ahobala Narasimha by Ganapatiraju who belonged to the Kasyapa-gotra Apastamba-sutra and Yajus-sakha and was the son of Nandi Raju and the grandson of Maha Mandalesvara Krishna Raju of the solar race.
 * (Proof3)

'''No. 235. (A.R. No. 79 of 1915.)''' Pedda Ahobalam, Sirvel Taluk, Kurnool District. On a slab set up near the sixteen-pillared mandapa on the way to upper Ahobalam. Sadasiva, AD 1558. This is dated Saka 14[80], Kalayukt, Margasirsha su. 3, corresponding to 13 November 1558, (Sunday). It records the grant of a piece of land and some money by Emberumanar-Jiyyamgaru, the mudrakarta of Vam Sathagopa-Jiyyamgaru and others for conducting certain festivals when god Ahobalesvara was seated in the 16 pillared mandapa constructed by Maha-mandalesvara Kurucheti Timmaraju, son of Vobul Raju and grandson of Baichana Deva Chodaraju of the solar race, when the god was taken (in procession) to Diguva Tirupati and back to the temple (nagaru)
 * (Proof4)

'''No. 240. (A.R. No. 311 of 1922.)''' Vyapulapalle, Hamlet of Mudivedu, Madanapalle Taluk, Chittoor District. On a rock in the village. Sadasiva, AD 1559. This is dated Saka 1481, Siddharthin, Sravana ba. 12 Friday corresponding to 31 July 1559. The weekday, however, was Monday. It registers a gift of wet and dry lands to god Lakshmi Narasimha at Ramagiridurga by Jillela Vengalayya-Deva-Maharaju, son of Krishnam Raju and grandson of Peda Krishnam Raju of Kasyapa-gotra, Apastamba-sutra and Yajus-sakha. The gift lands are stated to be situated in Vempalapalli in the village of Mudivada in Vailipatisima belonging to Rama-giri-durga of Penugonda Marjavada which the donor is said to have obtained as amara from Rama Raju Tirumalaraju Deva Maharaju.
 * (Proof5)

'''No. 251. (A.R. No. 15 of 1904.)''' Hampi, Hospet Taluk, Bellary District. On the north wall of the mandapa in front of the deserted shrine to the west of the Vitthalasvamin temple. Sadasiva, 1561 AD. This is dated Saka 1483, Raudri (current), Phalguna, the other details being lost. It registers an agreement (kaulu) granted by Kurucheti Sri Ranga Raju, son of Obulraju of the  solar race and Kasyapa-gotra to a person (name lost) for his having level-led and brought under cultivation a specified piece of land stipulating an annual payment of one ghatti varaha by him into the treasury of god Vitthalesvara and a fourth share of the produce to the donor. The details pertaining to the rest of the produce are lost. Refers to a gift of garden land made to (the shrine of) Tirumangai-Alvar on the occasion of Prathama-ekadasi.

Proofs for Raju Chandra vamshi - Indian Archaeology report from templease

'''No. 228. (A.R. No. 411 of 1911.)''' Vontimitta, Sidhavatam Taluk, Cuddapah District. On a slab set up near the eastern gopura of the Kodanda Rama Swamy temple. Sadasiva, AD 1558. This is dated Saka 1480, Kalayukt, and Ashadha su. 12, Monday, corresponding to 27 June 1558. The inscription records a gift of the village Vontimetta with its hamlets in Sidhavatam-sima of Udayagiri Rajya to god Raghu Nayaka of the same village said to have been consecrated by Jambavanta, by Naga Raja Deva Maharaju of Kasyapa-gotra, and Surya-Vamsa and the son-in-law of Rama Raju and Gutti Yara Thirumalaraju Deva Maharaju of Kasyapa-gotra, and Surya-Vamsa and the sons of Sri Ranga Raju and the grandsons of Aravidu Rama Raju of Atreya-gotra and Soma-Vamsa.

Edit on Liancourt Rocks
NealN,

I am a Korean, so I find it hard to keep a neutral point of veiw. However, I am always trying to do so. Your undo of my edits on Liancourt Rocks was fair, I see that now. But as a Korean, I had never heard of the "Sea of Japan" before in my life. I have and had known it as the "East Sea", and it has been like that for years. The first time I saw anything about the "Sea of Japan" was in fact when I saw the article on the Liancourt Rocks.

I feel that the "East Sea" should be incuded on the Liancourt Rocks and any other page that says the Sea of Japan, not only for people like me, but for maintaining a neutral point of veiw on the East Sea and the Sea of Japan.

SergiSmiler
Does there ever come a time that you can block an editor who refuses to cooperate? The language barrier and his lack of cooperation makes it hard for him to be a good editor. I get that his edits are in good faith, but he's been blocked, what? 6 times? And every time he says he's sorry, he won't do it again and then...does it again. Edit wars, disruptively edits, adds non-notable information and then says he doesn't get it why we revert it.

Sources for watches page
Hi Neil

Hope I have not over stepped my boundaries, I have put numerous links and references in to Journey Through Time and also the Electrifying Wristwatches books which both establish the Chrono-Quartz as the first Anologue/ Digital Chronograph wrist watch using LCD technology, please advise if I need to add more, as mentioned I am new to wikipedia and don't want to offend.

I have also added in external links to great sources like Piotr through http://www.crazywatches.pl/omega-1611-chrono-quartz-montreal-albatros-1975

There isn't a great amount written on the CQ, which is IMHO a really important watch and I wanted to try a link it to as many other great wikipedia articles as possible

fully understand if you feel the need to remove my link again, please advise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omega-collector (talk • contribs)

In regards to your recent edit summary, the 'source' does not indicate anything except give some basic info about the films. I don't see the purpose of it being there.

In response to your thoughts on my correct information regarding Mr. Billy Bob Thornton
Hello Neil N.

Thank you very much for your input, however, I did verify my information through the words of Mr. Billy Bob Thornton himself. After watching the DVD, "Slingblade," there's a mini-documentary about him, his life and career. He gave the correct place of his birth and home, his family, his brother's death, etc. I did not hear this from a 3rd party.

My efforts were to included the correct information after verifying my sources. I did not check to see if you had changed the correct information that I had entered. If so, I'll just put it back. :-)

Thank you. LuVMickeyLuvMickey (talk) 21:27, 28 August 2014 (UTC) Slingblade DVD

 * It's really not that serious. I know I'm right and if you ever decided to watch the movie and listen to Mr. Thornton at the end, you'll know also.  The man should know where he's born.  I didn't know that I would get into a debate with anyone over something so minute as a birthplace.  If I had known Wikipedia would be like this with self-important people, I would have never signed up. That was my first and last post. I surrender.  You should as well.

[Illegitimate blanking] and [Vandalism] by User:Director
Three days only after being on the verge of being blocked, User:Director removed large sourced sections of text in Istrian Exodus without even discussing.

Hello NeilN, this is Pageswriter. Thank you for pointing out the problem of recentism in my edit. Despite my political views, I aimed to remain as neutral as possible by avoiding opinionated facts and by including views from opposing sides.

Lord Laitinen
I thank you for your advice. You were one of the few people who were respectful in disagreeing with my opinion. I meant nothing negative by the statement you emphasized; it simply meant that if there were consequences for making threats of suicide, then it would dissuade many people from doing so in the future. Again, thank you for being respectful in this situation. Lord Laitinen (talk) 02:23, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * unfortunately it seems that you have a misguided understanding of a suicidal person's behaviour. If a person threatens suicide and they get help, there's a chance that they might not kill themselves. Blocking someone for threatening suicide serves to decrease the chance of getting help for being suicidal, which then increases the chance of that person dying. The only consequence for threatening suicide should be getting that person help, not trying to dissuade them from speaking out. --Ca2james (talk) 19:10, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Odisha Edit
Neil, this is in reference to your deletion of my adding of pics on the Odisha page. I am reverting back the addition of pics as Odisha has richer cultural history than other states. In architecture, while other Indian states in the north with Nagara style architecture suffered massive iconoclasm, Odisha did not. That is the reason Bhubaneswar, Puri and Konark exhibit remarkably rich examples of architecture representing Odisha's unbroken history. The pics are not at all out of context, as they concern only and only Odisha. They just make the article richer and more beautiful. I have not deleted anything. I do not change the factual lines in any article. I just add more visuals to the cultural and historical sections of some articles. There is no wikipedia rule for deleting that. I ALWAYS make sure, the pics do not exceed the text, which is the rule. In this case however, I will delete one or two pics.

I do not know from where in the world you are. I highly respect your vigilance. I hope you will help me in making wikipedia richer and more visually appealing. Thank You.

I agree we should not sandwich entire articles of images. I always add images to one or two sections. I also will not want to make an entire article full of images. [To comply with your suggestions, I did delete two images from the page. Please let the others stay. They just make the article more beautiful.]

@Neil. Okay, I will un-sandwich the images and delete a few more, though now they are not 12 as you said. Is there a stipulated amount of images to be included in one section? If you could tell, I will be careful in future.

Moreover, you called one revert as edit war. It is my first and only one, as you just deleted the entire stuff, and even when I reverted, I deleted a few images, complying with your suggestions. I will comply more and do the above needful. I am also an editor, as you are, so calling one revert an edit war with multiple editors is not happening either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PankajSaksena (talk • contribs) 17:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Initial addition, revert, revert. Twelve images. The amount of images is obviously tied to the length of a section. A one paragraph section shouldn't have five images. Longer sections can have more images, but not so many that they have to appear on both sides. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 17:19, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi . Thanks for this. Are there any academic papers that reference his work? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 12:50, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi <b style="color:navy">Neil N </b>!

In response to your query regarding academic references of Syed Iqbal Zaheer, I personally approached the author and got the response mentioned below:

About the Author

An engineer by profession (Technical Institute, Bangalore), and then trained in Islamic disciplines by traditional scholars, Syed Iqbal Zaheer, (born in 1944), an Indian now in Saudi Arabia since almost four decades, enjoys equal proficiency in three major languages: Arabic, English and Urdu. Having scraped through a Master's degree in English language (Mysore University), he feels he is the weakest in this language. A polymath, and a prolific writer, he has wide interests and can freely write – journalistically - on advanced scientific topics such as cellular biology, quantum physics, or conundrums faced by the scientists in astrophysics. With reference to religious issues he is probably the first Islamic essayist of such length who stays within the unanimous opinions of the authorities of the past. An interesting feature of his writings – apart from the fact that he writes on subjects not dealt by many - is that, in each of his book he adopts a new style of writing. Although he has produced almost 10,000 pages of writings including translations, the authenticity, especially in his 14-volume Tafsir Ishraq al-Ma`ani, can withstand the test of criticism. In Fiqh he follows the Hanafiyy school, but states the opinions of other three schools wherever necessary. He has been editing the monthly magazine; Young Muslim Digest (issued from Bangalore) since last 35 years in which his editorials and answers to the letters by the readers are followed with interest in several countries. In the "Letters to the Editor" he crisply combines wit, cynicism, humor, criticism, with provocative analysis. The element of surprise is another characteristic of his writings. He runs an Islamic Institute for girls (teenage and above), in a town (Haassan) near Bangalore, whose syllabus is his making (considered distinctive by many scholars), and which lays greater emphasis on the Arabic language, than on stuffing the soft heads with intricacies of `Aqeedah or Fiqh. His weekly Qur'anic Dars and lectures are fairly well attended by the educated class. But, following the fatwa of classical Deoband scholars, he does not allow filming of his talks, does not believe in globe-trotting, and strongly objects to any praise directed at him as he believes that men who deserved praise are in their graves.

Well, I also want to make an author page of Syed Iqbal Zaheer on Wikipedia, what do you think, will it be good enough to pass moderators review? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SheikhJunaidAhmed (talk • contribs) 11:59, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

About notability of an individual
The person I am writing about is senior journalist and has worked on many prominent projects with PM of India, Narendra Modi and CM of Gujarat Anandiben Patel. Can you guide me on what should I cite to justify the notability of an individual? How can I cite offline articles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prafuldaga (talk • contribs) 13:28, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi . The relevant guideline is WP:BIO. Please also see WP:NOTINHERITED. Working with or writing about famous people does not confer notability. Basically, a person needs to coverage on themselves from independent sources to be considered notable. Please see Help:Referencing_for_beginners for the answer to your cite question. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 13:38, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

I have added few links as citations for the article I am trying to create in the sandbox at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Prafuldaga/sandbox. How can I get it peer-reviewed before I submit it as article for main review? Prafuldaga (talk) 07:26, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
 * You can add the code at the top of the sandbox page. I had a look and in my opinion, the article as it currently stands has little hope of surviving a deletion review. There are no sources provided that have significant coverage of the subject. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:41, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Buddhism
You claimed the edit/ section I created in Talk was disruptive editting and inappropriate discussion. I have looked up both these topics and do not agree with your views. There is nothing in my editting that can be attributed to it being disruptive editting or inappropriate discussion under Wiki policies. You are misusing the terms to remove my edits for reasons unknown. I guess it may be that you hold buddhist beliefs or that you are sympathetic to buddhist authorities, and unable to handle a challenge based on facts. If that is the case, then there is a conflict of interest for you to edit the topic, and you should not edit it. I seek to reinstate the section that you deleted. 86.180.152.25 (talk) 00:20, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

 * NeilN, surely if you want to edit or admin to an article, you would do well to know something about the subject. Just Google Vietnamese and cannabis and see the thousands of incidents and references that come up. 86.180.152.25 (talk) 00:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

NeilN,
Thank you for archiving my edit. I was reading through the page about the food chain and realized that my information was different to yours. It is possible that I may have gotten the wrong information. Thank you for the help and I will be more careful when editing something next time!

Foreskin Page Image Reversion
I'm new to wikipedia. Can a page only have a certain number of images? Isn't it better to have more than only a few, for educational purposes? I don't view the image I added to the Foreskin page as redundant. The lead image is not representative of the average foreskin, so I believe it's good to have more images on the page.

Laverne Cox 2
Hi, I made the edit on the Laverne Cox page and am now responding to your message. I don't need to hide images or things that may offend me, I am not the problem. However I am very well versed in trans issues and I know firsthand that after transition having your birth name known is less then ideal, especially because people often see it as an invitation to use that name in an attempt to humiliate the person. But what do I know, if you really think information from her birth certificate is vital to the point of the page then there is nothing I can do.

Thank you anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.219.33.4 (talk) 00:43, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

hi, I appreciate your concern, regarding this current problem. I never violate 3RR, and also I already wrote on the article talk page, a little while ago. And stated the points and positions.

I am not a sockpuppet
Hello. Have you seen the long section about how I am a sockpuppet? Is it ok to use your user page to attack editors? I think not, that is why I deleted it. I explained the deletion, in the edit summary, and a message on the users talk page. However, the material has been replaced. What course of action can I take to remove the unsubstantiated, and insulting allegations? Or, alternatively, do you also believe me to be a sockpuppet? Read my articles, and compare them to something by this PassaMethod editor, and see if there's any similarity. Can I see some of his stuff?zzz (talk) 02:38, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * zzz, I do not see you mentioned anywhere. What are you referring to? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 02:41, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Its the sockpuppet section. Pass a maethod is very specifically me - current editor of Boko Haram (which I wrote),and recreational drugs (which I also wrote). She has been accusing me of this for a while, and I just noticed it there.zzz (talk) 02:45, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow, shes listed everything Ive ever done...zzz (talk) 02:47, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I had a look at his writing, and his grammar is just not good enough. Not even close.zzz (talk) 02:49, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * zzz, She's detailed the habits of Pass a Method. She hasn't mentioned you by name or even linked to any of your edits. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 02:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't understand your point.zzz (talk) 02:57, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * There are no accusations against you on Flyer22's page. You have no cause to delete it. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:00, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Everything in this para, except the Erection bit, applies to me.

If you find an editor doing several or more of the following things, that editor is very likely a Pass a Method WP:Sockpuppet: Significantly editing the Boko Haram article and other Islamic articles (I mean any editor who is the current main/continuous editor of the Boko Haram article). Editing religious topics in general, including the addition of anything about Pope Francis (whether it's the Pope Francis article or, for example, an addition to the Recreational drug use article about him). Editing LGBT articles. Editing political articles. Editing sexual articles. Editing medical and/or anatomy articles. Editing science topics such as the Big Bang article, or topics about black holes; the Stellar black hole article, for example, could be a candidate. Visiting the WP:Help desk. Focusing on leads. Focusing on British topics; using British spelling. Using editing summaries that are meant to deceive. Using Urban Dictionary as a source, whether it's at the Erection article, or, for example, the Roach (smoking) article. Adding a picture of someone smoking to their user page or talk page. Makes notes on his user page of the articles he's edited, soon after editing those articles.

I don't understand, what diff does it make about mentioning my name? She has made certain noone can fail to know exactly who I am. zzz (talk) 03:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No, until you brought it up, it's very unlikely anyone looking at her user page would think she was referring to you. I edit a lot of pages infested by socks. I'm not going to say, "hey, you're referring to me!" if I see a list of articles on a user page along with the sockmaster who has edited them. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:10, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

I didnt understand that comment. Are you saying, as you appear to be, that you believe I am "the sockmaster"? I asked you that to begin with, and you denied it. If this is just a private joke between you two, I can take my grievance somewhere else. zzz (talk) 03:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * zzz, I have no idea if you're a sockpuppet - I haven't looked at your edits that closely. I noticed you wiping out Flyer22's user page repeatedly so I stepped in to stop it. When you said it contained accusations against you I looked and could find nothing on the page pointing towards you. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

"the current main/continuous editor of the Boko Haram article" etc, etc, etc...zzz (talk) 03:24, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

That is undeniably specific. I couldnt possibly refer to anyone but me, with this account, that is, not any of my illegitimate accounts. I dont understand what the problem is with removing a personal attack.zzz (talk) 03:29, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * "I mean any editor who is the current main/continuous editor of the Boko Haram article" If you have concerns with a portion of her user page, the proper course of action is to discuss it with her on her talk page, and not just blank the whole thing repeatedly while issuing a threat. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 03:32, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Any means me, as you can see from the history of the article.zzz (talk) 03:35, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

But, your saying I should go and discuss whether she might take down the personal attack section of her page. If she feels like it. That's ok, she can just carry on attcking me, I guess. Cheers. zzz (talk) 03:39, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I am willing to remove the "any main editor" commentary that I very recently added, per my comment on my talk page about this case. Flyer22 (talk) 03:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The Signedzzz account was created 26 May 2014, but the first edit was 10 September 2014 see below . After that date, the only changes to User:Flyer22 relevant to this discussion were to add the following: "(I mean any editor who is the current main/continuous editor of the Boko Haram article)" and "or talk page. Makes notes on his user page of the articles he's edited, soon after editing those articles". There is no way that text can be interpreted as an accusation against Signedzzz. Why all the fuss? Johnuniq (talk) 04:12, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that, Johnuniq, I was under the impression that I had been editing for months! This whole discussion has been most enlightening. Thanks to all concerned for revealing the way that WP is run nowadays. An experienced editor can attack anyone he/she chooses. I did not know that was how it was.

hello
I was responding to the individual who's page I was on. Anyone who could have assumed that his comments were racist. I assumed someone reacted that way via his comments. Upon review of the talk page of the article in question it doesn't seem that anyone has. Though you did react to the comments there it seems you were suggesting something similar. That they should focus more on the consensus process and watch what they say as it could be taken wrong. Though that is an assumption.

Edit War on GamerGate
I'm trying to prevent an un-revert of my article that was trying to un-bias the article.

I'm requesting some official moderation on the matter, we need to skin the article and lock editing, or delete it entirely and take it from the top.

As it is, the whole article is an edit war and I'm trying to re-establish neutrality.EvilConker (talk) 14:32, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * . You believe your edit improved the article. Others don't. So... WP:BRD. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Other users have raised concerns about the paragraph, saying that it not only is possibly biased but also repetitive as there already is a Wikipedia page for Depression Quest with the same information. So instead of reverting, I modified the opening paragraph to have a link to the article in question, which I think is appropriate in this situation.EvilConker (talk) 14:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * And yet only you are reverting to your preferred version. You need to stop and wait. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I will stop. However, let's be very clear that this entire article is contested. I believe it needs to be stripped entirely and locked, give the basics, what happened, no 'why it happened.' Looking at the comments section, it really looks like Masem and NorthByBrandford are the only two users both opposing neutrality and adding in biased edits. If that's what this article is, then it needs to be deleted entirely and rewritten by a true neutral team. I believe the same happened to the Occupy Wall Street/Ferguson/Trayvon Martin articles while the situation was developing.EvilConker (talk) 14:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I respectfully disagree with Masem being biased. I've worked on the article for over a week already, and Masem tries to stay neutral - although he should be more aware of adding too much detail. NorthByBrandFord however (and RedPenOfDoom) are clear biased.MicBenSte (talk) 15:00, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

NeilN, either the article becomes balanced again like it was viewing both the harassment and misogeny as well as the allegations of corruption and wrong ethics in the game industry, or the article shouldn't exist at all.MicBenSte (talk) 14:49, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I retract my statement about Masem. Looking over his edits I see he's not that bad. NorthByBradford, however, is a definite issue. I apologize for my accusations.EvilConker (talk) 19:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I second this. There is far too much 'opinion' and not enough facts. It's written far too much like an essay instead of a neutral, informative, article.EvilConker (talk) 14:54, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The only way to get rid of that article is through AFD. And a piece of advice: "Make the changes I want to this article or delete it" won't work. This will take significant time and patience to hammer out. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 15:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not aimed at you, but I'm getting tired of being bullied around by some senior and some less-senior editors who like to think that their POV is everything just because RSes think it's best to copy&paste from other RSes without investigating and the editors agree with it. That's why I lashed out a bit at you, sorry for that.MicBenSte (talk) 15:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm trying to say it's in violation of the rules, it's very biased. There is already a large call for it to be deleted and rewritten from scratch, but this anarchistic way of doing it on such a complicated issue that's leading to anti-GGs pretty much overpowering the narrative is just not alright. I consider myself a neutral person in this whole debacle, and I'm trying to keep the article neutral, as are a lot of others, but just because a person has seniority (though Masem is not a mod to the best of my knowledge) doesn't mean they are free of bias that is breaking the integrity of an article. How are we supposed to be constructive and neutral when every change made is reverted to something more biased? I'm asking for your support, I think you're a neutral person with no real connection with the issue, but you're giving the aura of supporting a person who keeps reverting every single change that has been discussed by several people. Reverting doesn't put you in the right, you can revert a good change just as well as you can revert a bad one.EvilConker (talk) 17:05, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Suicide methods
Ok. Please cite the information in said article that cannot be linked to any references. Please also consider the fact that the existence of the predescribed is a moral issue. Wikipedia is also go-to website which is accessible to all age groups, and thus the ability to access such a page might enfringe upon laws involving the protection of more vulnerable users. I'm sorry if my tone was impolite in any of the prior messages, but as somebody who has suffered with mental illness, I believe my stance on the topic is valid. The page has been viewed by 80,000 people in the past 30 days alone and many of those viewers will be mentally ill or distressed. Redzimus (talk) 21:51, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If you think content in the article is not referenced properly then you can bring it up on the talk page or remove the info carefully when you are autoconfirmed. You should know "but it's the moral thing to do" probably won't get you very far as that argument is used without success when people try to blank articles related to sex ("children are reading this") or religion ("that's against our religion"). I sympathize with your position but what we should be doing is making sure the information is factual, dispassionate, and does not fall afoul of WP:NOTHOWTO. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 23:41, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Have the key admin explored this issue and been made aware of the article/ unnecessary overcategorisation?
80,000 have viewed it in the last 30 days, I mean I can't see need for its existence, it's just over categorisation of the already discussed topic (Suicide) I will look into the meedical issue too, I just want the key admin to do the same if possible.

It's my right
As admin do you not want to take some responsibility for what you host? You have blood on your hands. 80,000 views mate. Accessible via a google search of 'suicide' and how many suicidal people will be doing that? Loads and it's the fault of irresponsible people like you who hide behind all this red tape. Frankly I think you have an over inflated sense of self worth. You're actually refusing to be of any help, which tells me that you're just as much as a psychopath as the people who have contributed to this article and maybe you even reach the level of people who referenced the suicide guides-Which have now thankfully been deleted. I think you should climb back up inside your arse where you came from, and quite honestly, you're going to need quite a powerful torch to find your way out. This is now a matter for the police web unit now. Why don't you actually show that you're human and demonstrate a scrap of morality? There's already an article for suicide, you don't need a 'methods category'. If you want some Wikipedia jargon then it's unnecessary overcategorisation and entirely irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redzimus (talk • contribs)
 * 1) I'm not an admin. 2) You'll note that I removed the suicide guides based on your reasonable comments and Wikipedia guidelines (as I detailed on the talk page). 3) Diatribes like the above are only going to get you blocked. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 14:19, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Contention on Aquiline Nose Article
I find it interesting that you write to me with a source and then I get a reported message from another person with another name. I am not sure if you work together or are the same person: Bbb23. Either way, I have been reported, when it should be this person that should be reported. You said that mine is a "opinion" when I am actually removing something instead of adding something. The person with the opinion is actually the user who added the term Hook Nose, that is the person you should be questioning, which makes me think of your intentions as dishonest. The article is on the term AQUILINE NOSE, the article is not on HOOK NOSE, these are two different terms not interchangeable. Look for Aquiline Nose, and its definition, which is Roman Nose, eagle-like, prominent bridge nose, or curved nose; these are the official terms to describe this in all reputable pages on the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wazzabee7 (talk • contribs) 03:30, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Greetings. I recently came across Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, a page which certainly seems to meet GNG and so forth, is well referenced, but in which the majority of the content is non-english.

Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 20:21, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Vanamonde93. The main issue I see is with sourcing. All English translations and interpretations of the primary source need references.

Hi
Hi NeilN,

I have recently edited an article about premature ejaculation as the information was misleading. I really like wikipedia and am very interested in contributing but this seems very discouraging. I have been suffering from PE and promescent is definitely not the only one product available, and is not the one helping in my case. I believe people should know about the other alternative, moreover I have mentioned a substance benzocaine which is crucial for people and their health. I have submitted a wikipedia link, anchor tag and no extrernal links. I have nothing to do with the product and only wanted to do the good deed. I have also created a wiki article about the product with help of the company, again with no intentions of promotion, its not mine I am a patient.

Can you help me please?

Speed of gravity
Zhuyin (talk) 07:53, 24 September 2014 (UTC) Dear Sir NeilN,

Thank you very much for your message.

I am very glad to be a Wikipedian.

According to your message, I am drafting my revised article here. If you should proofread it, I should thank you very much.

My best regards.

Sincerely Yours, Zhu

The revised article

In November 2013, Y. Zhu announced that he observed the speed of gravitational force, calculating the variations of the orbit of the geosynchronous satellites perturbed by the Sun. It is shown that the gravitational force of the Sun acting on the satellite is from the present position of the Sun. It indicates that the speed of gravitational force is much larger than the speed of light in a vacuum. From this observation and the recent experiments, the structure of the fields of a moving source (a body or a charge) is studied. A method to measure the speed of gravitational force in laboratory and a line to indirectly test the wavelengths of gravitational waves are presented.

 * Hi . Who has cited your paper? Also, I see no evidence of a peer review process. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 22:27, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Dear NeilN,

My article entitled “Measurement of the speed of gravity” is published in Chinese Physics Letters, 28, 070401 (2011). It was peer-reviewed while some parts of it have not been peer-reviewed.

From google scholar, it was cited by Syska J., Frieden wave-function representations via an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm experiment[J]. Physical Review E, 2013, 88(3): 032130. Трунев А П.

 * I suggest you post the above on the article's talk page to get feedback. "It was peer-reviewed while some parts of it have not been peer-reviewed." gives some cause for concern. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 01:50, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * These parts were added in arxiv after the article was published in Chinese Physics Letters.

report an admin
Hi, just wondering how I report an admin? It's just you seem to like the use of weasel words within the article on 'Mansplaining'. Why is this? Can you justify where it says that that mansplaining is a common experience? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.132.163 (talk) 21:09, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Your edits are kind of bizarre. You put back in one of the phrases you wanted to remove. And if you look at the sources:
 * "Men explain things to me, and to other women, whether or not they know what they're talking about. Some men. Every woman knows what I mean."
 * "Of course, it's not just my journalist friend who has experienced mansplaining. There are countless other examples of this phenomenon."
 * And I'm not an admin. BTW, your other edits also had issues. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 22:22, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, you say here that hearsay is sufficient enough to make quantifiable claims, yet I have just reported you for removing a reference... (see below). I don't see why you are reverting edits on animal models of ADHD it was a paper cited 16 times. You obviously lack the science training to make changes to an important, otherwise you would really the idea of "just one study" is a fallacy. I have now highlighted your account on the report user page, as this you are clearly starting the early stages of harassment rather than trying to improve articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 12:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

^ actually originally I did disagree with the wording you used (hence why it sounds clumsy what I wrote), but then decided to let it go this time, and then change it at a later date when I generally improve the article by adding references etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:32, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I get the impression a lot of this from you was partly academic snobbery - trying to 'get one over' on somebody who works in science... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:17, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Not at all. It was about getting the article to state what the source actually said. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 16:20, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

And the source says that the CR sourced animals are the better choice for animal research. Also, you never addressed my point about other metrics -- claiming something is not true, because it is only one reference is erroneous. If you feel you are qualified to continue editing neuroscience articles, then I suggest you take my comments about using other metrics such as number of times cited, pedigree of author etc, journal printed in etc, rather than using the folk-scientist argument of "it's just one paper". Although I feel satisfied that I've potentially benefited your science literacy and you've hopefully learnt something from this exchange :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:23, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

This link contains some useful information for you: http://mamidala.wordpress.com/2011/07/10/25/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:27, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * "...better choice for animal research." But, yet again, that's not what you added to the article. And, yet again, a link for you: WP:SYNTHESIS. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 16:34, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Where have I made synthesis? I used three references to support the point. The final reference, the dynamic model, also mentions within the text the important of using CR strain. Please, explain to me where I have synthesised a point as I'm not sure you are comprehending correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

And yes I did make the point that when modelling ADHD, the CR strain has been validated as the best. And there are all sorts of methodological reasons why that is so, that are beyond you, but the gist is -- one of the most influential models of ADHD was developed using rats, and the person who did most of the research on that model of ADHD, used the CR strain (he also authored the other papers I linked). So his view has more weight than the science fair reply of "its just one study". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Your second edit presented one source that stated that the CR rat "is at present the best-validated animal model of ADHD". Do you really not see that there's a difference between this and "with the main emphasis on models purchased from Charles Rivers"? --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 16:48, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

But then when I presented three sources which did support my claim, you still kept reverting. You know, its also fine to keep titivating an article. That's how it works in the real world.

And main emphasis on models purchased from, and present best validated do mean the same (and if you read the actual articles, you would see that I was correct as that point was explicitly made - to use CR purchased ones: Don't rely just on abstracts...). It's also a lot clearer than saying "used within ADHD research". how clumsy is that? Used how? As feed? As a reward? Perhaps as pillows for the animal model...

And also there you go again - one source. That is not a valid argument when it comes to science, look at the other metrics I presented. You just keep repeating the same, erroneous point. Really, do you actually feel comfortable editing this stuff? Like really, do you feel comfortable that you're gating important information from students etc (as trust me, many people head to those pages as a first glance, usually because you expect only people who know what they are talking about would edit such pages...)
 * Again, I hope you're more careful with your research. Might want to check exactly who was reverting and when. Are you comfortable with your accuracy? I'm certainly not. If you want to write something like, "The Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat (SHR) is also used as a model of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, with the main emphasis on models purchased from Charles Rivers" you need to cite something like a Cochrane meta-analysis. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 17:06, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

You don't need that at all. You are wrong. People make claims such as "a main emphasis" constantly in published papers without referring to the Cochrane. Are you just making this up as you go along? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 17:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Please tell me, what is your academic background/training to make changes to such an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 17:16, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

And over 600 articles directly using the term "with a main emphasis on": http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=%22with+a+main+emphasis+on%22&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5 care to tell me how many are linking to meta-analysis, reviews etc?

 * @147.143.95.63: If "with an emphasis on" is the point of contention, why have you not cited one of those 600 articles to support the assertion of an emphasis? —C.Fred (talk) 17:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Follow the discussion - I'm showing its accepted practise within science to use that phraseology without linking to a meta-review, its standard academic speak and perfectly acceptable. The main issue is a non-specialist wading in on an esoteric topic and acting as if they're an expert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 17:40, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * If it's actually in the cites and if there are multiple papers agreeing with the assertion. If it's not in the cite, the phrase should not be used. If the papers have one primary author, the assertion should be attributed.

No, the main issue is you got angry when I made some changes to an unrelated article yesterday and I challenged you when you reverted them, and then you started reverting changes to this current article. You lied about the reason for the first revert - when really this was just a personal thing against me. You have never, ever edited a science article before, and now you have, you come across as ill-informed and out of your depth.

And please, you've still not told me what your background is that makes you qualified to edit such an article as this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 17:52, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * "You have never, ever edited a science article before, and now you have..." Holy hell, now I really, really hope you've got someone else overseeing your work. What methodology did you use to determine that out of the 25,000+ articles I've edited, none was related to science? P.S. It's standard practice to look at other edits if you come across a questionable edit by an editor. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 18:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh dear, this is not going well it is. I said you believed you were an expert in this instance too... Which you tried to demonstrate by deciding if articles (which probably took years to write in some instances) were corroborating a point I made solely by reading their 150 word long abstracts... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 19:07, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This seems pointless. The article now has proper wording. I'm not going to change the way I edit. You can continue down your road.

Ok, although seriously, comments like "I'm an expert on a wide variety of topics" to the level that you can decide content on specialised things like this are arrogant and reflect poorly on you (especially when you're reading the articles wrongly and only going by the bit that most academic authors spend about ten minutes writing when they've finished the paper), otherwise whats the point of people like me spending unto a decade learning about this stuff... And as for not changing your editing style, perhaps reflect on if thats a good or bad thing for wikipedia and the public service it provides. Good luck to you too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.95.63 (talk) 19:20, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes I edited what you wrote because it was misleading and not factual about my people the cherokee / Aniyunwiya. We were dark brown, Tan as myself and olive colored. We wore our hair long down our back even to the ground.the long hair clan took pride in our hair..you said that cherokee shaved their heads accept one patch of long hair false not all cherokee did this ..This shaving of the head was among the wolf tribe the warrior of our society.

 * Hi Historicfuture12. Please read the article carefully. You actually deleted a quote from Henry Timberlake, describing the Cherokee nation as he saw it in 1761.

Henry timberlake visited one village of cherokee out of over 30. Also the chiefs he went to Europe with (2 of 3) of them were not cherokee by blood but adoption. Henry timberlake is not the only person who described the Cherokee John Haywood also did George Catlin an American painter early 1800s painting them dark also the Spanish which claim their skin was from negro dark to fair according to moyano and pardo in 1540s. ..so what you posted about henry timberlake holds no weight and doesn't explain the full range of the Eastern cherokee nation prior 1839. You posted this so as a cherokee indian I'm asking you to remove this as it is false ...Please do some research before you tamper with others history it's very ignorant and misinformed history..I'm very unpleased and assaulted.I recommend you look at all historians description of my people before you chose the most bias of them all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historicfuture12 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Simple as put you need to remove it. I removed it from the Cherokee page and you added it again due to your lack of historian skills you put exactly what you found first that's need qualified research at all.You need to delete it, I tried due to its inaccuracy.Maybe you are trolling information I don't know why but I'm sure any historian or scholar would agree that your tactics are invalid case and point. **Delete the Bias description which doesn't depict my people just a portion of us ** If someone from China was reading my history they would be mislead, So you can do my people a favor and delete it.

Do not edit any Wikipedia's if you do not have the right scholar/historian tactics/skills.

I've seen that policy before, it's not new to me, but for what it's worth, dealing with such obvious, easily available facts, I don't think it's good policy. If you care to, you can see what I said about it on my User page (not Talk page). deisenbe (talk) 20:11, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's not only about checking correctness, it's also about ascertaining how important the information is. Bits of trivia are being added to articles all the time. We use the depth of coverage in third party sources to determine what weight (if any) the new addition should have. If no one else has brought up those points, Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, should not engage in original research. Another thing - you say that we're dealing with obvious, easily available facts. Yes and no. The fact that Santorum has never won another election is easily verifiable. However "though the extent to which Savage contributed to his defeats has not been studied" is not easily verifiable as that requires research to prove (or close enough) a negative. That's why we need a secondary source. --<b style="color:navy">Neil N </b> <i style="color:blue">talk to me</i> 20:33, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

OK, point granted, so what would you think about just saying "After Savage began his campaign, Santorum never won another election"? It's certainly important as the whole section is about Savage's intent to damage Santorum politically. deisenbe (talk) 20:41, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Well... I know you don't want to hear this and it's frustrating but anything like that would probably be reverted as synthesis if there were no sources. You are implying there might be a cause and effect here.
