Please remember
That per WP:BRD you are to undertake a dialogue with other editors when your bold changes are reverted and not Edit War. Please also note that until content disputes are resolved the Status Quo before the dispute is maintained until a new consensus is agreed on. MisterShiney   ✉    23:29, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Correct. I'm surprised that an experienced editor like Reywas92 would edit war like this. Per BRD they should stick to the talk page at Talk:House of Cards (U.S. TV series) and get consensus before attempting such a change, especially since it has been challenged. Those subheadings are standard practice and not worth fighting over. Keep the status quo version. -- Brangifer (talk) 01:07, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Plagiarism Report
Dear Reywas92,

It is my duty as a sometimes wikieditor to report directly to you that, as it is my knowledge, you added the Duties section to the page Secretary of State of Indiana, and as I have observed, it appears that you have, whether or not intentionally, plagiarized on that page. This plagiarizing is the specific copying of sections from the Secretary of State page on IN.gov. Notice here:

Your article: Duties The Office of Secretary of State is one of five constitutional officers originally designated in Indiana's State Constitution of 1816. Sixty-one Hoosiers have served as the third highest-ranking official in state government. Early duties of the office included the maintenance of state records and preservation of the state seal. But as state government expanded, so did the responsibilities of the Secretary of State. Present responsibilities include chartering of new business, regulation of the securities industry, administering regulations relating to the registration of motorized vehicle dealers, and oversight of state elections.

IN.gov's article (plagiarized sections in bold and italics)

What does the office do and what is it responsible for? "The Office of Secretary of State is one of five constitutional offices originally designated in Indiana's State Constitution of 1816. Sixty-one Hoosiers have served as the third highest-ranking official in state government.

Historically the 'duties of the office included the maintenance of state records and preservation of the state seal, but as state government expanded so did the responsibilities of the Secretary of State. Present duties include chartering of new business, regulation of the securities industry, oversight of state elections, commissioning of notaries public, registration of trademarks and licensing of vehicle dealerships throughout Indiana.''' ''"

This was all accomplished apparently without the use of citation, quotation, or direct on-paragraph reference to the site, which is required in such a case. Correct me if this was not your doing, but, from what i gathered in the page history, the Duties section appeared in your edit. Also I am not aware if any other sections have been plagiarized.

Thank you for your time,

Good will and good luck,

Please note that Manual of Style is a guideline, and is not mandatory. It is not a policy, and edit-warring for purposes of upholding MOS has been strongly criticized by a number of Arbitration Committees. Following MOS blindly without consideration fopr what is best fopr an article riases MOS to the level of a de facto policy. If you wish MOS to become a policy, please start an RfC and do so. In the mantime, please don't do change the position of the image again, the article looks just fine the way it is. Thanks. BMK (talk) 21:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Beyond My Ken, I don't follow anything blindly, I believe it looks terrible to have an image on the left beginning in one section and pushing the underlined header of the next to the center of the page, and following guidelines, regardless of their requirement, is not "mucking around". With the number of times I've been reflexively reverted by people who did not actually look at the changes, my single revert is not edit-warring and does not warrant your need for bold italics. Thanks to your reflexive revert, you also undid my copyediting of an incorrect colon. Reywas92Talk 21:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Presidential debates
Just noticed your actions regarding the Democratic and Republican Party presidential debates. I really don't understand your problem with individual articles on widely covered, thus clearly individually notable events. These are so much more notable than probably tens of thousands of articles on particular TV episodes, music tracks or computer games. Don't tell me WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. There are clear notability criteria, and each of these events clearly passes them. I missed the RfC, and actually think these should have been submitted to a regular WP:AfD, but for some reason others did agree with your action. Now would you please at least take care, all content is merged back? You just blanked the pages, but didn't copy over the whole content, which would include quite some cleanup, edits by others, airtime tables and categories. Thanks. --PanchoS (talk) 08:11, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * User:PanchoS: No they really aren't notable by themselves, they're news events, with notability in the context of the election as a whole. AFD is meant for deletion of content of pages as whole, not mergers, and I have been told not to bring merge proposals to AFD in the past, or people want to keep the article not realizing I do want to keep the content but in another location. The one AFD that was started for the ninth debate was likely to go the same way as the RFC to which you were pinged. My Wikipedia philosophy (and possibly that of all eight other commenters there) is that information should be covered as concisely as possible, so if one page can accommodate everything about the debates, why shouldn't it? Why should someone interested in what went on have to go to another nine subarticles after reading the main one? The same goes for the state primaries: sure, you can find important information about the D and R primaries and general, but why should they be separate articles when it's the same topic? One page can report the related info perfectly fine, and I hope to address that soon. I'll check for the differences made, but the cleanup looks like basic changes for article vs. section formatting that doesn't need to go back, including categories.

Hillary Clinton campaign endorsements
Hi there. Just throwing you a message regarding the Clinton campaign endorsements article. A few frequent editors of the article and I decided a number of weeks ago to split Clinton's endorsements article into two sections. There is the article of endorsements for her Democratic Party nomination: List of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign primary endorsements, 2016, and another article of endorsements for the general election: List of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign endorsements, 2016. We decided this because the article would be too large if both sections were included. So, there's no need to divide the article for general election endorsements into two sections. Let me know if you have any questions! MrVenaCava (talk) 03:38, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I fixed the reference and the text myself, and removed the warning.

 * It's supposed to be megawatts, that's how power consumption is measured when street lamps are in use. And you also reverted a grammar correction I made... Reywas92Talk 03:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Utility bills are based on "kilowatt/megawatt hours", so to make it make sense you should either say that "there are 248,000 street lamps that when all are lit draw 27 megawatt", or that "the energy consumption is x megawatt hours, for a monthly cost of x rupees", not "they draw 27 megawatt for a monthly cost of 60.000.000 rupees", since it would make readers think that the cost of electricity (per kilowatt hour) is outrageous in India (automatically assuming it should read "megawatt hours"). And while I might have removed a small improvement in grammar I also corrected your mistake of not changing the access date in the reference... - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 03:22, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

 * User:Lugnuts: How in the heck is Tomas's difficult or awkward to pronounce?? Words ending in a long 'ees' sound like the examples Socrates's and Achilles's may be, but not Tomas's. It's more awkward to say Tomas mother, which sounds like successive normal words without a sound indicating possessive, and that is not "how the pronunciation is intended" or fitting the examples provided in the sources. Reywas92Talk 19:34, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

 * To clarify, John Sununu's mother was not "Greek," but a Salvadoran of Lebanese descent and of Greek Orthodox religion. From Sununu's WP article: "Sununu's mother, Victoria Dada, was born in El Salvador. Her family was Greek Orthodox Christian from Lebanon and settled in Central America at the turn of the twentieth century."  There are approximately 100,000 Salvadorans of Arab ancestry (over 1.5% of the population), and Arab Salvadorans are as Salvadoran as Arab Ecuadorians are Ecuadorian and Arab Brazilians are Brazilian.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_El_Salvador#Arab_Salvadorans  AuH2ORepublican (talk) 13:57, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/List of Green Bay Packers stadiums/archive1
I have withdrawn the nom per ChrisTheDude's comment. I didn't realize that having two noms was an issue (it's been a while since I was at FLC). Regarding our discussion, I understand where you are coming from. However, the whole purpose of list articles, in my opinion, is to group similar items so that they are easily understood. History of the Green Bay Packers should include all of this info, just in the form of prose written into the overall history. Green Bay Packers, in theory, should briefly summarize all the major topics (similar to the list of head coaches, starting quarterbacks, first-round draft picks, seasons, etc.). These items are broken out because they form a cohesive group and having tons of tables and longer prose explaining each setting would be redundant. As an example, both the History and the Packers articles explain in the prose about all the head coaches, but we still have a list of Packers head coaches (and do so for every other team, I believe). In my eyes, this is the same exact thing. Now I would be more understanding if the list was only 3 items long, but 8 items is usually long enough to constitute a unique group. I guess that's my opinion on the matter. If you would like to move forward with a merge discussion or AFD, obviously you are welcome to.

Navaids in aerodrome articles

Answer
To respond to the comment you left me: the guidelines are not the same on every WP project. For example, why is there no capital letter here: Dan Sullivan (U.S. senator)? According to your standards, there should be one, right?

It should also be American politician instead of U.S. politician right? Then what about John Curtin (U.S. politician) or William Wall (U.S. politician)?

It's a mess. Don't give me lessons for following rules that keep changing; nobody can keep up with it.

sorry :)
Hey, I hope you don't mind my including your name in my little tirade recently at wt:NRHP. I got frustrated there, obviously, and I complained, including naming you unfairly too. At the moment I was perceiving your statement "Alternatively the small counties could be merged to into National Register of Historic Places listings in Texas", etc., as selling out, when I perceived we needed to have clear focus that only geographically coherent regions would acceptable. I also wasn't acknowledging that you stated you did prefer regions. Anyhow, of course it is okay for you to have whatever opinions you have, even if they don't 100% agree with mine, and I am glad you were sharing. I am sorry if I might have offended you. I do very much appreciate your responding to my request to you to participate in that discussion, and I do appreciate your many other contributions.

About the Texas regions, I expect I'll bring it up again, but not right away. I think it would be better to go forward on a different, easier, state first, taking away one objection asserted about the Texas case (that there are not yet any other state-level examples, at least if one disregards List of RHPs in PR). Happily there's some agreement now at Talk:List of RHPs in WV about region organization in West Virginia, knock on wood. Anyhow, sorry again, and thanks again. --Doncram (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Fishers High School, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''For anything beyond the mundane, independent sources are required. Since two of the sports in that list are not IHSAA sanctioned sports, additional information is required to properly inform our readers. An article on a school is not for the school.'' John from Idegon (talk) 23:02, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
 * . Thanks to User:AuH2ORepublican for adding other sources, but this is complete and utter nonsense. You reverted it from an accurate, complete, sourced list of sports, to an incomplete, unsourced list. I am quite familiar with WP:RS (please don't template me!) and absolutely no part of it bans primary sources. A list of sports is certainly mundane, and it is preposterous to think that an official source is not reliable or usable for this. Citing the school's athletic department is no less permitted than citing the school for the enrollment, for the principal, or for academic offerings. If the school says those are the sports played, it doesn't matter whether they are state-organized or not, they can be listed. Where in the article did it limit the section to IHSAA sports in the first place? Reywas92Talk 08:35, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

Improved Article + Feedback
Hi Reywas92,

I've had a read of your advice and I improved my article, though I did have some queries. I've wrote them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_list_candidates/List_of_S%26P_1000_companies/archive1&redirect=no

Thanks! XOLE2129 (talk) 00:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Members-elect
@Reywas92, I don't know if it's an official Wikipedia policy, but certainly the practice in articles listing members of Congress is to wait for a member-elect's term to commence before adding him ir her to the list. There's nothing wrong with adding language to the introductory paragraph noting Tuesday's election of two Native-American women to Congress, but we should wait until January 3, 2019 to add them to the article. For one thing, it's tempting fate to report on future events, since if one of the two gets eaten by wolves (a la President Gerald Ford) she will not be sworn in on January 3 (or, more precisely, her term would not commence on January 3). Similarly, one should never place an end date for the term of a lame-duck member of Congress, given that such member may die or resign prior to January 3.

So we have two options for dealing with the two newly elected Native Americans. One is simply to remove them from the list and wait until their term begins on January 3 (God willing) to add them; that is what typically is done in articles listing members of Congress. The other is to add a section for members-elect listing the two members-elect and their expected start dates; then on January 3, we can move them to the main list and eliminate the members-elect section. This is what is being done for the list of African-American Representatives. Check it out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_United_States_Representatives

Which of the options do you prefer? AuH2ORepublican (talk) 13:00, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Gay bar AfDs
Ok, I know you're acting in good faith here, but I can't be expected to drop what I'm doing to participate in all of these AfDs and find sources about all of these topics. Can you please try to slow down the AfDs so these can at least be fairly assessed? --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 01:51, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I did some searches myself and couldn't find much substantial to support notability. I've been to the Seattle Eagle myself and I really fail to see what makes these anything special among the thousands of generic bars and nightclubs (and strip clubs!) across the country/world, open and closed, gay and straight. I removed one that had more search results. Reywas92Talk 02:05, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for replying, but my request here is to slow down with the nominations. Thanks! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 02:11, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay I've removed a couple more but I really don't see how they're going to show notability. Reywas92Talk 02:21, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I understand, but for example, I just spent over an hour working on Carriage Room just because you nominated the article for deletion. Assessing notability takes time, so nominating a bunch of articles at once does not provide sufficient time to demonstrate sourcing exists and flesh out articles. You might try questioning notability on an article's talk page before just immediately assuming a topic is not notable and marking for deletion. Again, I know you're acting in good faith here, and I appreciate you slowing down with the AfDs here. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 06:39, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Indiana Statehouse
Hey! So you seem to be right about the spelling of the "Indiana Statehouse". Nevertheless, this following page still uses the "State House" spelling version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_State_House. What do you think about it?

Gxiglon (talk) 23:17, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out, sorry for being brusque. I will move that page; all the official sources spell it as one word. Reywas92Talk 02:19, 26 December 2018 (UTC)


 * It's fine, you were not rude. Thanks for moving the page ;)

Occidental Park (Seattle)
Just a heads up, the "Park" moniker is still applied by the city (even on the linked webpage) and has triple the hits on Google and in The Seattle Times. I don't think it would be worth moving.  Sounder Bruce  05:43, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment, I won't move it then. I've known it as Occidental Square since I moved here and there are lots of reputable sources calling it that on Google, but yeah there doesn't appear to be a clear common name argument. Perhaps there's just a gradual shift in what people are used to using! Reywas92Talk 05:49, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Deletion of Washington State legislative districts
Can you explain why it was necessary to delete all the pages for the Washington State legislative districts? Some of them have important information that now doesn't exist in the merged pages, such as the background behind the vacancy for the 40th District. Can't we leave these pages in place so we can further expand them in the future? Or if this significant change has already been discussed somewhere else, can you point me to that discussion? --Almccon (talk) 21:03, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

I strongly feel that deleting all the WA state legislative district articles was not a good decision. It would make sense if that information was all duplicative and contained elsewhere, but it wasn't and isn't. Each page's legislative district page included the districts current representatives, which is duplicative, but also described the districts geography in detail and information about the contemporary and historical political landscape in those districts, covering vacancy appointments, special elections, and more. This was all substantive, factual information that is now lost and no longer accessible. The "master page" that contains a list of all WA's 49 legislative districts is not a meaningful substitute. --Reliken (talk) 19:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I have also come for the same reason...I looked through Reywas' contributions and do not see anything relating to a discussion approving it. It seems a very dramatic move to make without consensus (far beyond the parameters of WP:BEBOLD). I am going to undo all of the edits and begin a discussion at Talk:Washington state legislative districts. Reywas et al, please continue this there. PrairieKid (talk) 18:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Unless you wish me to bring a case against you...
...to ANI for WP:Harassment, I would suggest that you stop following my edits and reverting them. I have sufficient evidence right now, but I'm willing to let it go if you simply stop. I hope that's clear.BTW, ArbCom has clearly ruled on a number of occasions that edit warring to enforce MOS -- which is an advisory guideline, and not a mandatory policy, is not a valid reason for edit warring. Please keep that in mind. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:14, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I have made no edits that violate policy. It's not harassment to re-add a correct comma and remove an incorrect one, to place images in the relevant section, or to perform basic copyediting. Nothing I have done is offensive or threatening, and it's inappropriate to suggest it is. Enforcing something that goes against MOS is not a valid reason to revert me repeatedly either. You have provided no valid reason at all why the images should be in the wrong section and break the horizontal header line. Reywas92Talk 00:30, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Featured list candidates/List of accolades received by Vikram Vedha/archive1
Hi there, Reywas92. Here's my latest FLC. Please feel free to leave your comments there, thank you. — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:38, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

I would hate to think...
...that you were following me around by looking at my contributions and going to an article that you have never edited before -- Daniel Burnham -- to revert the layout changes I made to it, after we had a dispute on the exact same issue at St. Francis Dam, because doing so would be a violation of WP:Harassment and would probably get you blocked for editing for a period of time. I would suggest that you not do that again, or else you might find yourself as the subject of a report to WP:AN/I. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:58, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I see that I've warned you about this before. You're living on the edge, pal. Beyond My Ken (talk) 08:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ooooh I'm sooo scared... I'm not the one who was just blocked for edit warring. Unclear why you deliberately made changes inconsistent with the MOS, other than your repeated excuse that the MOS is not mandatory. Reywas92Talk 08:04, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
