please help me
Hello Shellwood, Please help. I - (by mistake) seem to have removed the 7th Nizam's - "Mir osman ali khan"'s photo from wikipedia. Please un-do those changes made in the photo format by mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quadirsaab (talk • contribs) 10:06, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi Shellwood. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AShellwood enabled] rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:18, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.

Thanks! Shellwood (talk) 19:23, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

1949 Wilkes 200 vandalism
Hey sorry, when I was editing the 1949 Wilkes 200 page I saved unfinished work. I wasn't trying to vandalize the page. I was fixing the work when your vandalism report was sent and I lost all my work. I'll be more careful in the future. if you have any advice it would be appreciated. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.183.125.162 (talk) 20:04, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Emily Ratajkowski
What was wrong with that? As evidenced in the "Blurred Lines" song by Robin Thicke, which, by the way, is the clip that kickstarted Emily's career, the author who was inspired by Emily (a model at the time, although, not as well-known) throughout the verses calls her a "good girl." But, regardless of that, you can see that she is indeed a good girl. A feminist, a socialite, and not a contraversal person in any way. I'm sorry, but I don't see what is wrong with it.

Maybe I will add an article in "Simple English" on her, that seems more fair.


 * It's not an appropriate term to use here, it's misleading, subjective and non-pov. There is a difference when an author describes a person in a book and when we do it here. Shellwood (talk) 16:23, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hello,

I was updating Lanny Davis' information and received a note that it was vandalism. How can I move forward with making edits? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.129.129.166 (talk) 20:34, 23 March 2017 (UTC)


 * Im not sure which user account you used in making edits there but the problems with the recent edits seems to in violations of WP:ELNO and also blanking sections. My suggestion is to take this to the article's talk page and discuss any further edits before editing in order to avoid conflicts. Shellwood (talk) 21:13, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Substitute Edit
Hi Shellwood. Thanks for your message. I don't agree that my edit to "The Substitute" page wasn't constructive. The original reads "Shale arrives at Columbus High School and is, at first, taken back by the lowly conditions." My edit changes "back" to "aback." The "lowly conditions" didn't take Shale anywhere. He was shocked by what he saw when he entered the school, so the correct phrase should be that he was "taken aback." What do you think?


 * I primarily deal with reverting vandalism and disruptive editing here, often in huge quantities, sometimes mistakes do happen. Thank you for pointing this out. Shellwood (talk) 05:04, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Shellwood! With my edit (the one you reverted) I myself tried to revert an earlier edit (by 143.207.98.174) that seemed to be either vandalism or broken code. Maybe you could review it, and tell me if I'm mistaken? Thanks! Ddke1811 (talk) 14:05, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't know what the problem is? I really don't know why you/they wanna delete the site of my client DJ Seezy? He is a (underrated) Producer from Germany and really worked with this artits via sending them beats and these listed artitst picked the beats for there tapes! We all know that the new producers in the hip hop community don't get the recognition they deserve especially producer from overseas who placed beats on notable tapes for well known artits. He is right know on that point to level up his career and this site helps him.

 * You blanked the AfD page about that article, which is disruptive. The arguments presented there are well-founded and gives strong support to delete the article. Besides Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion or advertising, WP:NOTADVERTISING. Shellwood (talk) 22:40, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Kawah Ijen Crater Lake sulphuric or hydrochloric acid?
"Kawah Ijen Crater Lake, at the top of the volcano, is the world's largest such body of water filled with hydrochloric acid. In fact, it's the acid that makes the water green. Werner explained how the lake became so acidic: The volcano emitted hydrogen chloride gas, which reacted with the water and formed a highly condensed hydrochloric acid with a pH of almost 0." - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/01/140130-kawah-ijen-blue-flame-volcanoes-sulfur-indonesia-pictures/

The Wikipedia entry for Kawa Ijen claims the acid contained in the lake is sulphuric acid and cites a youtube video.

Could you please tell me how to upload photos onto the Wikipedia page of Princess Sofia (Don't worry, ill use the ones Wikipedia offers, but could you also tell me how to upload ones wiki doesn't offer?)

 * This will help you WP:UPIMAGE, WP:IUP but be cautious when doing these edits so you dont violate any copyrights and make sure that all content you add is done from a neutral point of view and constructive. If you still have any problems the Teahouse is a good place to ask for assistance. As for the mobile it was not a matter of looking bad or not, you removed a lot of sourced content from the article.

Hello,

What is wrong with the edit that I made at Book of Daniel, and why is it considered "non-referenced" when I left many references in the paragraph?

Please unblock me and explain this to me.

Please don't say the same things that JudeccaXIII kept saying. That it was not referenced and that it was my research. Lol because if you look at the post that I made, you will see that I referenced every assertion that I made.

Help in blocking this IP address
Hi there!

I've noticed that this IP address : 175.156.1.51,  has been vandalising a lot of pages lately (mostly related to Taiwan and the ROC), He has repeated this vandalism in the 2017 Summer Universiade page multiple times, and I believe the only way to stop this is to either block this IP address or protect the page.

He continuously tries to manipulate the articles so that Taiwan and the ROC are obsolete.

May I ask your help in resolving this problem? Thank you :) Vincenty846 (talk) 18:19, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I should understand next time that proper titling is necessary, especially for the mixtape for the aforementioned article in the title it was originally on (apologies for trying to write it as it would appear on the mixtape itself). But at the same time, you also reverted back to the last vandalized edit by a guy named Cool teens online (where he said "Big Dan" over "Bitch Dab", as in "Originally titled Big Dan/Bitch Dab").

 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
 * Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Mother goddess
I've just discovered that for some unfathomable reason, BoH had been allowed to do a complete rewrite of Mother goddess in 18 April of this year to, and I quote his stated reason in the history log, "reflect fringe theories", that resulted in cutting 16KB worth of content that includes a lot of well-sourced information. I'm writing this to inform you that I've manually reverted the page back to the last version before BoH's inexplicable mass-vandalizing edit pending official staff action (which I hope you know how to perform, since I so rarely delve into these matters at Wikipedia that I have practically no idea what to do or where to go).

Hi Shellwood, you reverted one of my edits on the Medo-Babylonian war against Assyrian Empire and you were right as i provided no explanations for that.

Hi Shellwood, I'd appreciate a response to my above message. The message you left on my (previous IP's) talk page was not very helpful in specifying what the problem with my edit was. --2A02:C7F:9A0C:DA00:29A3:1B58:CF23:F930 (talk) 23:18, 30 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I see, well next time you remove portions of text from an article a good idea would be to discuss this on the talk page too. Just to avoid situations like this and for clarify things. Feel free to do as you wish with the article above. Shellwood (talk) 09:59, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying that there was no problem with my edit, and you made a mistake? And if that is the case, surely the responsibility was yours to read the edit summary where the purpose of my edit was made perfectly clear? By implying that the responsibility was mine to leave unnecessary messages on the article's talk page justifying reasonable edits, you do not assume good faith, and I think recent changes patrollers should uphold this guideline more than anyone. --2.97.81.159 (talk) 02:14, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * These are not "unnecessary messages" but a necessity when you are dealing with suspected OR and other issues. Point out why you suspect it to be OR when you revert it or simply leave a tag in article. Dont mix up criticism with users not assuming good faith. And finally recent changes patrollers are not part of any special or privileged user group, they carry the same accountability as you and me. Shellwood (talk) 12:51, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Help for a New Editor
Hello, I'm seeking help since I am new to editing Wikipedia. On the William V. Harris page, another user keeps deleting a section that I added, without providing any justification. I have cited sources and written in a neutral point of view (on the talk page, I provided a justification for why it is a note-worthy inclusion. Another user has deleted this section three times now. I'd really like some guidance. If there is an issue with my contribution, I'd like to have feedback to improve the section, but this other user has not begun a dialogue in any way. Thank you very much. Ninjalemur (talk) 01:02, 5 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi and thanks for your message. It seems that the user you refer to has been warned and stopped editing for now. Removing sourced content without explanation is not constructive and can be seen as disruptive. I suggest you try having a conversation with the user on either the article's talk page or the users own talk page if problems arise again. If this still doesn't help report it to WP:ANI. Shellwood (talk) 15:55, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Please help
Hi Shellwood! FYI, the article Cup of Salvation has been nominated for deletion (Articles for deletion/Cup of Salvation). Please help me out. --Omer Toledano (talk) 12:42, 7 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Omer! I'm afarid there is little I can do about this AfD, I'm not familiar about the book or author. Perhaps a redirect to Pesach Wolicki is an alternative for now, as some users have suggested. Shellwood (talk) 15:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Apologies for edits. Not intended to be vandalism, but a lesson on Wikipedia
Haven't used talk pages before, so I'm not sure if this is exactly where I'm supposed to send a response to your comment. I have been frequently editing the Wonder Woman page. This is not done to vandalize the page. I'm a librarian and I'm currently teaching a course on research and this is usually how I demonstrate why it's recommended that Wikipedia not be used academically. I can tell them using words, but I find that seeing me actually edit the page works better to make sure the lesson sinks in. I do intend to go back and revert the changes, but usually by the time the lesson is done, the bot has already corrected it. I was expecting that editing privileges might be affected, though I am only one user on a campus that serves hundreds, so I hope that the editing privileges for the entire campus wouldn't be removed due to my lesson. But I'm hoping that addressing this and that it isn't intended to be vandalism, but a lesson on Wikipedia (and a change I don't intend to leave as is) will help avoid that. 209.156.172.82 (talk) 19:22, 11 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your clarification, but this website can't work as a tool for your lessons in that fashion. Even though you have good intentions, these actions are harmful in the end. My suggestion is that you try to find an another solution for how to reach out to your classes without editing like that in the future, perhaps register an account and use the sandbox.

 * Actually I do believe there are exceptions for educational purposes. Some IPs can be flagged as schools that do just this thing. Leitmotiv (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * No, they are prohibited. Shellwood (talk) 21:44, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Not from what I've seen. Maybe things have changed since I last saw an example, but I've seen IPs tagged that way, where no one bats an eyelash. Leitmotiv (talk) 23:32, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Shellwood (talk) 23:36, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I really wish I could show you the admin pages and discussions I read on it, but I don't save links to that stuff and Wikipedia is notoriously hard to navigate concerning stuff not typically viewed by the common laymen. As it was, it was probably 3 or 4 years ago now. Ah well, things have probably changed anyway. Thanks for the link. Leitmotiv (talk) 00:59, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

I will admit, I don't understand why the changes are harmful as long as they are undone. 209.156.172.82 (talk) 21:07, 11 October 2017 (UTC)


 * This is an encyclopedia and not something to disturb just by showing a class that it works to add stuff in articles. Your thoughts are sincere and your edits are not vandalism, but they disturb the project and will likely be reverted by a bot or a user if you try it again. I recommend you to try something different for next class. Shellwood (talk) 21:25, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

I have to say, I still don't understand how it's a disturbance if it's a minor change that is either immediately reverted by a bot (or myself, though the bot usually beats me to it). But I have informed my class that I have been prohibited from editing for the purposes of demonstration. I don't want to get my entire organization banned because of a simple two-word edit.

These experiments are prohibited as it says in the link, no selfrevert was made and I suggest you use other means of instructions in your future classes. Shellwood (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Page Review
Hi, i just written the article on Wikipedia. As you have new page reviews rights on english wikipedia, i prefer you (or anyone else) to review MY NEW ARTICLE (if it meets wikipedia criteria). -  SingerLuch!  (talk) 10:39, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Asking assistance for Wiki editing
Could you assist me with some information?

1. Dispute Resolution Noticeboard: Since the parties are not obligated to comply with the advise of DRN moderator, what's the solution when someone is sure that the other parties are not going to agree with him anyway and a ruling from a judge is essential. I am sure DRN is not an option in this case. Could "Mediation" be an option? Is any user, even an administrator obligated to comply with the advise of Mediation Committee? If not, then is "Arbitration" an option? Is any user, even an administrator obligated to comply with the advise of Arbitration Committee?

2. What’s the difference between Dispute Resolution Noticeboard and a specialized noticeboard such as “Fringe theory noticeboard”? I know specialized noticeboards are subject specific. But my question is that whether the moderators in “Fringe theory noticeboard” are only administrators or general users as well? If there are general users as well, how can I become a fringe theory noticeboard volunteer? Do I need to list my username anywhere and/or add any template in my user page?

3. When I am in a dispute with a couple of admins in a Wikipedia page, what’s the process of reporting those abusive admins. Let’s say, the admins are reverting any edit that is against their personal views and beliefs. And those admins need to be removed from the page. The Wikipedia manual says as admins can be removed through a dispute resolution process. But it doesn’t explain how. Because DRN moderator or Mediation committee may not be able to remove an administrator. So, if an user is in dispute with administrators, should he directly file a case to Arbitration Committee?

4. How can I add a new section and subsection to a Wiki article and remove an existing section from a Wiki article in visual editor?

5. I found that some contributions are deleted from “History” page of an article. So how to delete a contribution and who can do it?

6. Wiki policy states as I should not copy contents from other websites and should rather write my own contents. But what if the contents are open source contents? Can I directly copy those in Wikipedia? Are online news posts open source, including the images in the news? Can I use these texts and images in Wikipedia without editing? Can I copy and paste statements of medical national and international organizations in Wikipedia without editing?

7. Where to find images for a Wikiedia article if the image is not already available in Wikimedia? Are the images collected from news posts open source? And many sites don't have their images copyrighted. Do those images qualify as open source? When I upload an image, Wikipedia asks for copyright information. I have no idea what information to provide? What info should I provide if the image is in open source? And if the image is owned by me? Wikipedia asks me to contact the copyright holder and ask them for copyright information for the image. But some websites don't have "Contact us" section, some other sites are unresponsive when they are contacted, and even when I contact a website owner, he may not be able to provide me copyright information as the images are not copyrighted. So what information to provide Wikipedia in such a case? How do Wikipedia verify if the images are already copyrighted or not. If I claim to be granted permission for reuse from the copyright holder, how does Wikipedia verify the copyright holder has actually granted me permission for reuse of the copyrighted content?

8. How to add videos to a Wikipedia article? Do I need to provide copyright information for a video available in Youtube? Are there other policies on videos such as policies for graphic videos?

9. When I create a new article, how do I save my private draft for the article. If I click on "Save", the draft will become public and will be accessible for anyone. But I like it to be private. Is it possible. Furthermore, when I edit on an existing article, is there a way I can save my edits as a draft before publishing? It is an essential function. Because some posts may be very long and will take a long time to write. So, my unsaved works can be lost if browser tab is closed or if the texts are accidentally selected and deleted. So saving draft is essential.

10. Where can I save the usernames of my co-writers in my Wikipedia account like a phone book? I can't memorize the usernames of every persons. Thus, I need to have a phone book when the usernames will be saved in the respective categories.

11. How can I be connected with the community to improve each Wikipedia article? I know each important article is being monitored by some administrators. But how do I know which administrators is monitoring a page so that I can discuss with them about improving the article? How to get connected with the community for editing articles? I heard that communication is important here. But how? Everyone is stranger here. Whom to contact among these random people?

12. What’s the use of pending changes reviewing by administrators and “pending change reviewers”? As much as I know anyone can revert another user’s edit. In that case, what will change if an edit is approved by an administrator or a “Pending changes reviewer”? Will other users be unable to revert the edit back then? If not, then what’s the use of pending changes reviewing? Furthermore, how do the users know an edit has been approved by a administrator or a pending changes reviewers? Will the approval appear anywhere such as in the “History” page?

13. What’s the requirement and process for becoming a pending changes reviewer? Can anyone become a pending changes reviewer?

Hey hey...
Hey - thanks for checking out my most recent article. I was looking at your about information and I'm wondering if you can help me properly address something that seems troubling to me - I also hope this is the right place to ask ;-)!

Over the summer I picked up a copy of a book by a TV personality I really enjoy and I thought it was great. I was going to create an article about him and what he does, but saw one was already there - and boy does it seem to be very mean spirited!! I want to introduce a more unbiased tone to the article (there seems to be a few authors who definitely do not seem to like this guy (he's an E! entertainment personality)) but I also don't want to get pounced on!

What is the best way to approach this?

Thank you for any input you have to offer! Akrumoftruth (talk) 23:08, 19 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, I would be glad to help if I can, what article are you talking about? I assume its about a living person, some very good guidelines can be found here: WP:BLP Shellwood (talk) 12:58, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * - You rock! I'm just leaving town for the weekend, but I'll send you the deets when I'm back at my desk Sunday/Monday (and I will check out the guidelines you suggested before I write back). Thanks again for responding. Much appreciated! :-) Akrumoftruth (talk) 22:21, 20 October 2017 (UTC)


 * - Hey - so, the article is about Tyler Henry who is a medium on tv (E! Network I believe). It just seems like from all that I've seen (from television and youtube); and all the stuff I have been reading, whether or not he has 'powers' he certainly doesn't need to be discredited so aggressively in the article about him. Like couldn't they put all of that stuff in a section and be more un-biased in the article? I love being a contributor to Wiki and certainly don't want to stir up trouble, but in all of the years of being on this site, I've not seen an article about a person like him be written the way that one is. Just would love some insigt. Recpectfully... Akrumoftruth (talk) 01:10, 24 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Shellwood - note that I am >95 % certain that Akrumoftruth is an undisclosed paid editor despite their denial. As you can see from e.g. Special:Contributions/Sasslandia the fact that they are interested in this article is just further evidence. SmartSE (talk) 09:50, 24 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info, we shall see what our friend here choose to do next since there is no 100% of proof paid editing being the case. But I will distance myself from this since I'm totally against that concept undisclosed or not. Shellwood (talk) 15:17, 24 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Guys, I am not a paid editor; but as a human being and a person who believes in un-biased reporting, I do think it’s sucky what seems to be going on with Tyler Henry’s article - something that seems to be off track with what Wiki should support. There’s nothing more going on with me: I got his book and thought it was great (it's called Between Two Worlds btw); and I like what he does; so I started to research him and saw the article here and felt it was written from the point of view of skepticism - which is fine to have in the article (I think) - it just seems a bit pointed because it’s in the intro section of the article and in the talk page about it there clearly seems to be personal opinions being expressed about what Tyler Henry does, or claims, to do (check out the Praise section; and the ones below it where the people posting defaming stuff refer to him as a "grief vampire" etc). Again, the tone of the article and the way it's written doesn’t seem to jive with what Wiki should be about and I just feel like that article would be well served if the all the negative stuff went into a section focusing on his critics, criticism and the skeptics. And I was simply asking Shellwood for some input as to what, if anything, I can or should do. All I have done - which I can’t figure out for the life of me what I did wrong - is add three links to legit articles about the one thing I know the most about him which is his book (links from Simon & Schuster, the Today Show and The Sentinel). This is the extent of my involvement in his article to date - aside from having a passing interest in just re-arranging it so it read less biased. I had/have zero intention of trying to remove the criticism - that's not what bothered me. Just thought I could arrange it properly. I’m sad you think there’s something more nefarious going on with me SmartSE, but there’s not. And it’s upsetting to me on many levels, mostly as someone who has loved wiki for over a decade, that I would some how offend you two. I get passionate about the things that interest me like you both clearly do. But as always, I am here to grow and learn, and if neither of you wants to give me some tips or advice re what I was initially reaching out to Shellwood for, I accept that. I appreciate you both and I'm sorry for wasting either of your time. Respectfully, Akrumoftruth (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Shellwood, thanks for your help. This article is part of the WP Women’s Classical Committee, which I was collaborating with today. I don’t edit often on WP:EN, my main work is on WP:PT, so I was wondering if this article needs more sources to comply with WP:Notability. I did read the guidelines at Notability (academics), so please let me know if we need more sources. Greetings,Domusaurea (talk) 16:23, 20 October 2017 (UTC)

Help with possible vandalism
Hi there, I’m new at this But I hope you can help. Please look into recent edits done by some users on La Luna Sangre Page. There appears to be a lot of vandalism since I last edited. There are a few who add obviously derogatory words like “weak, loser”, but I’m most concerned about fake information such as the one entered by IP address 124.106.251.186 today. The user recently entered about 7K characters of false information descriptions of fake characters. I’m positive it’s malicious intent because the information is false and appears made up. Please revert these edits today and can someone reverse other false edits. I am a fan of this series and I edit this page for the simple reason that I like this page to be accurate. Many of the grammar entries are poorly written so I try to fix the errors when I spot them. I’ve done a lot of work improving the sentences and narratives. Thank you.

2017 Spanish constitutional crisis
I suggest you to the change the title of ther article "2017 Spanish constitutional crisis" to "2017 Catalonian Coup d'État" because according to Wikipedia, a coup d'état is "an illegal and overt seizure of a state by the military or other elites within the state apparatus". This is exactly what is happening in Catalonia, where a part of the state (The Generalitat of Catalunya) is illegally assuming power which constitutionally corresponds to the legitimate Government of Spain.


 * Don't turn this into a political debate here, seek consensus on the talk page of that article if you are so eagar to move the page. It most likely won't happen since this is a constitutional crisis after a referendum not a coup d'etat. Shellwood (talk) 19:27, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Edit #807512172 to Trade bloc
Hello, Shellwood! I replaced File:Trade blocs.png in Trade bloc by File:Free Trade Areas.PNG, which I think is more accurate and deep to illustrate regional economic integration (this map is more used in other wikis).

Perhaps it's time to request edit protection of ".xxx"?
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you have been cleaning up vandalism to the .xxx article. Perhaps it might be time to request edit protection for it? I don't feel comfortable doing so, as the last edit to be reverted by an IP address user was mine, and I'd like to avoid the conflict of interest and a potential edit war. I've asked the user about it, but I don't expect a (constructive) reply.

If you do request edit protection, please feel free to mention the above about me to the admin.—DocWatson42 (talk) 22:44, 13 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi and thanks for your message. Im not sure the admins would protect this page since there is no persistent vandalism going at this time. The article is on my watchlist now and I will take the matter to WP:RPP if needed. Shellwood (talk) 18:31, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Clackers
On Clackers, you reverted an edit (not mine) with the comment Unexplained removal of content. Yes, it was unexplained, but I think that this user just deleted hoax paragraphs, and you reinstated them. Google for these paragraphs, you won't find anything apart from mirrors. And when you go into the history, you will see that these paragraphs already surfaced in 2011 and always were quickly deleted. Seattle Jörg (talk) 13:21, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Niddah
Hi Shellwood. You said I did "vandalism" by changing title of a picture of a menstural hut. I did not. I am scholar in the field, professor from a major university. We do not call the group known as "Betha Israel" "Ethiopian Jews", and they did not use the term "Niddah". The picture is of a typical menstrual hut that is found in many places in Africa. I would appreciate it if you revert my changes. All my changes are supposed to improve this entry, and have it with high academic standards.

Hello its me again I had a question on the infobox, a few hours ago I edited the Soyuz infobox to show shenzhou as a derivitave of the Soyuz. While I was editing the Soyuz I saw a box that said derived from, and then later I went to the shenzhou page that had the same template and it doesn't say anything about that because I was going to add derived from Soyuz but there isn't an option for related spacecraft even though it was the same template, why is this? (thats what I was originally trying to do before I accidentally deleted the template) YuriGagrin12 (talk) 00:08, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello! Im not sure why that option dosent exist on that template but you can simple add this to the infobox to fix it:


 * derivedfrom =
 * derivatives =

Why did you get rid of my soccer mom edit. Anyone familiar with Steve Harrington would know that it is true and a bit humorous. It is not a nonconstructive edit and I don't see why it should result in the edit being deleted. The page was bout soccer moms and I stuck to the subject.

I understand it's an encyclopedia, so what is the problem with adding the name of a notable person that has to do with the subject? Would you delete someone's edit on the page about president if they added the names of a few well known presidents? Amar bozzi (talk) 17:47, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * It is fictitious and not notable at all, you just want to be funny and this is not the right place for trying to be that. Shellwood (talk) 17:59, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

Just because you aren't familiar with Mom Steve doesn't mean no one is. And last time I checked, Joe Keery was a real person. Amar bozzi (talk) 18:08, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * No your editing is disruptive and all your past edits have been reverted. Continue down that path and you are heading for a block. Shellwood (talk) 20:05, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

IP vandalism at Richard Hammond
Those edits really should have resulted in a report at RfPP rather than simply reverting over and over again. That will WP:DENY the IP attention and do away with the vandalism, and potentially get the IP blocked, which is clearly needed in this case. I've taken care of the report now, but in future you might want to bear that in mind. -- -- Dr. Margi  ✉  03:05, 2 December 2017 (UTC)


 * I reported the IP to AIV thats more effective, I have done my part. Shellwood (talk) 03:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
