Use of "whilst" in UK English
Hello, Spacecowboy420, I hope you are well. I am currently working to improve the article Wild Palms (band) which uses UK English. The article creator used the word "whilst" twice in the article in ways that look odd to my eye, but I'm not familiar enough with UK usage of the word to be sure whether it's correct or not. Would you mind taking a look?

(On an unrelated note, you may not be aware that it's preferred to archive conversations from one's talk page rather than simply blanking the page. Previous versions remain visible via the article history page, but blanking one's user talk page can create the appearance of having something to hide, which I doubt you intended. Help:Archiving a talk page has more information; if you have questions, feel free to visit the Teahouse for further assistance.) — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 14:07, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * It's still reasonably common (when being formal) to use the word "whilst" however, while is a totally acceptable alternative and I thought that there was some kind of policy/guideline that stated we should choose words that are acceptable for all forms of English, if there was a suitable term available. (I may be wrong about that policy, I will take a look) Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Another UK music article (why do I do this to myself)
Hello again! I recently created an article about the now-defunct Camden Crawl music festival, and have run into some issues with it. This is your personal invitation to join the discussion going on here about how to handle unwieldy lineup information. If this is outside your areas of interest, feel free to simply ignore. Happy editing, GrammarFascist   contribs talk 20:03, 14 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I will take a look. Sorry, I only edit from Monday - Friday, so I didn't reply earlier. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 05:56, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


 * No worries, WP:TIND. Thanks for you contribution to the discussion! — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 11:08, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Removing "Homophobia" section title on article
Hi, I reverted the section title being homophobic is different from being accused of being homophobic (which is what is being written in the article). To give an extreme example, a person who is accused of rape/murder, would not have the section titled "rapist"/"murderer" just because he is accused of it. Hope you understand. Zhanzhao (talk) 13:42, 30 November 2015 (UTC)


 * It seems pretty clear that he is homophobic, but after second thoughts, "pretty clear" implies original research, so I agree with your revert. Besides anyone can read the article and judge for themselves. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 13:53, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
 * It can get quite tricky when dealing with labels, especially with controversial figures which may attract supporters for/against them. I did play around with possibly going for "accusations/allegations of homophobia" but that seems to be a loaded title as well. What are your thoughts on that? Zhanzhao (talk) 09:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)


 * If there are enough really reliable sources that call them homophobic, then yes. If those sources aren't quite so strong in calling them homophobic, then controversy would be the safer option.Spacecowboy420 (talk) 09:37, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

CMS
I'm not done adding information to this article. This school has become notable in recent years.  The StormCatcher   (talk)   (contribs)  07:58, 2 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the normal way was to construct an article in your personal sandbox, and when it meets all the required criteria for a wikipedia article, then to create the article. That way people don't see a half made article and suggest it for deletion. Either way, I would suggest improving it kinda quickly, as a previously deleted article, it's probably going to have people (other than me) wanting it deleted again.

Oeuvre in Jean Sibelius
Thank you, Spacecowboy, for your interest in the Jean Sibelius article. While I share your desire to simplify the level of language used in Wikipedia articles, I don't think it is grammatically correct to replace "the core of his oeuvre" by "the core of his works". A "core" can only be applied to a single entity. Furthermore, oeuvre is widely used to cover the sum of a composer's work. A quick look at the biographies of other composers reveals that it is used in connection with Wagner, Vaughan Williams, Mahler and Benjamin Britten. The sentence with your change now contains the word "works" twice: "The core of his works is his set of seven symphonies which, like his other major works..." which is not at all elegant. The sentence now needs to be rewritten to avoid repetition. I think you must agree the change you made was a backward step.--Ipigott (talk) 10:55, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree, it is pretty ugly English to have works twice. I have reverted myself, if I can think of a nicer way to reword it, I will propose it on the talk page, so that editors who have put time and effort in the article can give their opinions. What can I say? I had to use a dictionary to find the meaning of the word "oeuvre" - so I guessed it was a reasonably obscure term. (either that, or I just need to read/learn a little more.) Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:33, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * We all live and learn. It it is a fairly obscure term but is used quite a bit in art, music and literature. It is used similarly in French where in the singular it means the total work of an artist. Thanks for cooperating on this. I hope you will continue to take an interest in articles on classical music. Unfortunately there are not more than a handful of us who contribute to any extent. Let me know if I can help you in any with with your own articles.--Ipigott (talk) 14:34, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * That's my main motivation in editing wikipedia, I tend to edit a lot of articles that I know nothing about and end up learning something new. I think that is probably the first classical music related article that I've edited, but if I find myself on one in the future, I will keep your offer in mind.

Chavs
Can't see that File:Glasgow_youths_4_06.jpg is "already in use on another article on wikipedia" - from the links on the image page it's currently being used on talk pages at Talk:Ned (Scottish) and Scottish Wikipedians' notice board/New images/Archives/March and April 2006, and some foreign-language Wikipedia articles about drinking in public. By all means cut the cartoon while it's being discussed, but we should not be presenting a photo of three Scottish kids as "typical chavs". --McGeddon (talk) 10:19, 10 December 2015 (UTC)


 * My mistake, it was used in the past, but not right now. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:22, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Mannam/Shinchonji/Lee Man-hee
Hi, I've been checking back on old articles I've contributed to. It looks like the pages on Shinchonji and Lee Man-hee have been sanitised of all mention of controversy, or even each other. Lee is referred to as a "peace activist" with no mention of the church through which he operates. I looked through the Talk pages for both, and I think it would be a good idea to start pushing to get both back in order, with reputable sources. Seeing how you had contributed to the discussion, I wanted to give you a heads up in advance. Junganghansik (talk) 03:30, 29 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know, I will take a look at those articles. There were a few accounts banned that were removing content from those articles, I imagine it's the same person with a new account/IP. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 05:30, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

FYI, I just caught a user Lura1234 vandalising the SCJ page. I reverted it back to a previous edit, but it might merit some extra attention. Junganghansik (talk) 05:25, 19 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I hadn't paid much attention to those articles recently, but given the vandalism, I will keep an eye on them, thanks. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:08, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

It's Lee Man-hee's birthday this week, so looks like our work is cut out for us. Junganghansik (talk) 05:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Indeed. Let's get busy. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:58, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

list of fastest motorcycles

 * Can you look at this the talk page of the list of fastest motorcyles .Not sure who contact I know you as well have had problems from dennis bratland. I think this guy is doing this because I spoke against him and is now doing this. Or at least tell me who to contact sorry to post to you talk page I do not know how to just message someone. 72bikers (talk) 06:06, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Good timing! I was just posting on that talk page. I'm not 100% sure, and while I'm not sure if it counts as stock or not, if it's not street legal, then it doesn't belong on the list. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:09, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * thanks for your response. I did not want to get into some drawn out debate with someone not adhering to there own rules. You made some valid points on what is street legal as well. But in there reference it did clearly state not street legal to achieve those results. 72bikers (talk) 06:35, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * With the source stating "track only" it seems pretty clear cut that it shouldn't be on that list. I'm sure you're aware that Dennis isn't the easiest guy to deal with. He's been here a long long time and has put a lot of work into these articles, which is great - but he also gets rather hard to reason with, if he doesn't agree with your edits. I've found that sticking to clear policy and inviting opinions from other editors, is the easiest way to deal with stubborn editors. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:44, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I am pretty new to this but yes found that out right away. I do not mean to attack anyone or to speak badly of anyone. But It seem like he introduced himself from my early start so that I would be led to believe that he was a authority. And I would need his approval on anything I posted. And when spoke of consensus his trumped all. 72bikers (talk) 19:15, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
 * That's very similar to my experience. When I edited a motorcycle related article another editor said something like "we should check with Dennis" - while I don't mind being polite and asking the opinion of more experienced editors, I won't be treated like a little kid by someone who thinks they own the motorcycle related articles, just because he's been here a long time. But, I will try to be fair, if there is a good edit, I will respect it, no matter who makes it. I don't see it as a big problem, every time he has tried to boss people around in the last month or so, virtually every single other editor has told him he is wrong. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Rik, Stephen
I'll leave that link there for now. Even when looking for the earlier link it was hard to find, and then spot. But it is up there, in the 1990's section. [What not to link] Dave Rave (talk) 20:55, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that is was already in the 1990's section. I don't mind if it stays or goes, so if you wanna remove it, please feel free. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:02, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Aprilia RSV4
can you take a look at the Aprilia RSV4 page. There is a reference there that needs fixed and not quite sure how. 72bikers (talk • contribs) 04:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm not an expert at references. (actually, I'm not an expert at much on wikipedia) but I will take a look and see if it is something I can fix. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)


 * which reference is broken? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:29, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Its not broken it just going across the whole screen cant miss it maybe I will ask pete. 72bikers (talk • contribs) 00:04, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing that different browsers display references differently. I couldn't see it...but then again, I'm using an old PC in my office, with a tiny screen, so I dunno what other people see. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:01, 3 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Can you see a difference now? before the reference went across half the page into the info box. 72bikers (talk) 21:26, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Your interaction ban
I think I'm going to say "no violation" here. As you note, it's not a violation of the letter of the law, and given the details, I don't want to say that it's a violation of the spirit. If you check the page history, you'll see that he's edited the article several times before — it's plausible that he already had the article on his watchlist and merely did what he would have done had anyone else done the same as you did. So basically, while it's quite possible that you're right, there's an easy alternative explanation, and people shouldn't be getting blocked for spirit-of-interaction-ban violations when there's an easy alternative explanation. If he were stalking you, immediately following your edit with an AFD nomination of a page he'd never before edited, I'd be speaking quite differently.

Thanks for approaching this situation the way you did, by the way. From the admin's point of view, this is the ideal kind of report: calm and peaceful, sufficient links provided so I don't have to go looking, and you acknowledge the "weakness" of the letter-of-the-law nonviolation rather than pretending that he was in the wrong in every possible way. If you seek further input, or request future ban enforcement, in the future, please do just like you've done here. Nyttend (talk) 13:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I can't read his mind, so it's maybe safer (for my sanity) to assume it was a genuine edit, with no motivations related to me having edited the article. And thanks for taking a look at it, it's maybe easier for all involved to send a quick message to an admin, rather than deal with the huge drama that is associated with ANI reports. I would say that I will contact you the next time this happens, but hopefully there isn't a next time. I'm sure the other parties involved are just as sick of this as me. thanks again Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:09, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Further details in this comment from Drmies, who came to my talk page after I requested outside input. Nyttend (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Funny, Nyttend, how we agree and yet do not totally agree. We are truly in a "judgment" area here, and right now I have a bit less faith in Dennis's judgment here: it smells too much like skirting around the ban. But it's a smell--there's no evidence, as you correctly suggest. Drmies (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Can you help?
72bikers is running into stormy waters and I'm having trouble working out what's going on. He feels he's been harassed, but I'm not seeing how. Something to do with copyvios on some motorcycle article. He's been blocked for a week, but with no warning given for a junior editor on a first offence, I think that's a little steep.

Contact me via email if you want to go into details, but at the moment I'm seeing a need for a fellow biker to help him edit constructively on motorcycle subjects, of which I know nothing. --Pete (talk) 03:43, 5 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Damn, I didn't know that happened. I will take a look. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Lots of space
Regarding this: not all web browsers are created equal, nor all displays. I frequently read Wikipedia on a monitor turned long side perpendicular to the ground, or on a 5:3 aspect ratio tablet held the same way. On my tablet right now, the images float above the table and it looks pretty poor.

Many people view Wikipedia on a handheld device such as a phone which definitely does not have a lot of space on the sides. Something to keep in mind when making image-placement decisions. – Brianhe (talk) 11:22, 5 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I will take a look on my large screen, tablet and android phone when I'm not at work. I was under the impression that putting images as thumbs made it easier for different browsers/displays to deal with them. 11:26, 5 February 2016 (UTC)Spacecowboy420 (talk)
 * Thumbnails are great. But packing them in until your display looks "full" probably isn't a good idea because it will be over-full on someone else's monitor. This link should show you what I mean . - Brianhe (talk) 11:36, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I use the wiki-app on anything that doesn't have a decent sized screen. I've never had issues with that. These things are always going to be a compromise. Image full for those with big displays - tablet users will suffer. Less images so that tablet users are happy, less content than optimum for PC users. 11:41, 5 February 2016 (UTC)Spacecowboy420 (talk)
 * Another option, lots of tables have tiny images in-table that can be clicked through to view. List of Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks for example, and many in Category:Lists of National Historic Landmarks by state. Brianhe (talk) 12:11, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I will take a look later. I should be doing some work, instead of editing wikipedia all day long. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:16, 5 February 2016 (UTC)


 * The in-table images seem to be the best idea. I have no idea how they look on other displays, but if it's a standard thing on wikipedia, I guess they must be suitable. It's gonna take me a while to complete though. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA

 * It's all a learning process. I'm sure it will be easier the second time around, if you decide you want to try again. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

THANKS
Just wanted to thank you for your support. 72bikers (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2016 (UTC)


 * You're always welcome. You're one of the good guys here.
 * I'm starting to feel that it isn't worth arguing with certain admins. If I am blocked again, I will just play video games for the duration of my block and get back to editing, once the block is over. I like wikipedia a lot, I just don't like the lack of consistency or accountability from a few of the admins. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I could not agree more! Except in my down time I choose to work on my own personal motorcycle. 72bikers (talk) 20:04, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey I shortened what your last message said on my talk page. I did not change what you said just removed the last part about feeling crappy. About 2 hours after doing this Brianhe who must be stalking me now undid the change I made. I left a message on his talk page to stay off mine and to stop stalking me. Should I bring this up to the admins attention? 72bikers (talk) 19:35, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't bring it up with the admins, but you can of course change the wording of that message of mine, or remove it from your talk page. If you have asked him not to touch your talk page, perhaps you should remind him of that, and make it clear that not touching your talk page includes, posting,reverting,tagging,templating,editing,etc. He wants to be an admin, so I'm pretty sure he won't want to get involved in any more nasty dramas.

Lee Man-hee
Hi Spacecowboy420, Please let me know what makes you keep saying only 'cult' and removing whole other information. Could we mention it both side information? What do you want to keep it this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Facttrue (talk • contribs) 12:24, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

mainly because I think there are enough notable sources stating that it's a cult, but there are not enough reliable sources for the other content. Wikipedia is being used to promote a weird religious cult, and the editors who are promoting that cult have a conflict of interest because they are connected to that cult. Also, they are not following the rules of wikipedia and are using multiple accounts. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:46, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

I would like to surly follow the Wikipedia rules but it is not easy. So please make this article more clearly not saying only one side information.

Hey man, I've been trying to keep the Lee Man-hee and SCJ pages honest. I was the one who accidentally anonymously posted the edit that Mannam, HWPL, IPYG et al are not "cults" but fronts for a cult. I also am the one who contributed the picture of their 2012 Olympiad which you keep removing (until the last time, I thought it was the SCJ drone taking it down). Out of curiosity, why don't you want that picture up? I risked my safety to take it, and I think the mass games are a suitable representation of SCJ. Junganghansik (talk) 03:34, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reinsertion. FYI, that white-clad group standing in the middle of the stadium in the photo, that's a bunch of foreigners in Mannam shirts that were sent into the stadium with no idea what to expect. Apparently even a few of them had been recruited earlier that day. If you ever need to play tag team on either of those pages, just send me a message. I try to check in monthly. Junganghansik (talk) 06:27, 21 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I think we're doing well with our work on those articles. Socks get blocked, silly content gets removed. I'm sure there will be more socks there, but if we keep on making good edits, it's never gonna be a problem. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:12, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Suzuki Gixxer
Not sure I understand your reasoning here. It's an Indian market bike, wouldn't Indian awards be especially relevant in its case? Note that this is the 150 cc, Indian market Suzuki Gixxer, not the 750–1000 cc world market Suzuki GSX-R which is also called "Gixxer" in the U.S. - Brianhe.public (talk) 00:01, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * There are awards given out each year for numerous bikes such as in Cycle World. These are not rare occurrence and even on such notable motorcycles as the Suzuki Hayabusa which has received many make no mention of them. So I do not think it is of such importance to make note of them here. Gives the page a appearance of a advertisement. 72bikers (talk) 05:24, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * If it were an India only bike, I would agree that awards might be relevant. However, due to it being available in other markets, the notability of those awards is far less. Also, I would agree with 72bikers, that there are so many awards given out, that they are no longer of great importance and lack notability. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:17, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It is an India-only market bike, as far as I can tell, according to the sources. And the awards were significant "bike of the year" awards from major media like Autocar and Top Gear. Sorry but I'm just not seeing what the problem is with this. Shouldn't an across-the-board deletion of "bike of the year" awards start with consensus at an appropriate venue like WP Motorcycling? - Brianhe (talk) 08:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm really certain that it isn't India only. I will do a little searching, and confirm exactly where it is sold. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:28, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * There is no problem, it's just something that adds nothing to the article. There are more bikes awards, than there are different bike models in India. They are kinda meaningless, and serve no purpose apart from marketing. Oh. Gixxer is sold in the Philippines. (and might be sold in Japan) - not sure where else though. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:58, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Indeed it is also sold in the Philippines so it is not a India only motorcycle. But as I stated earlier,these are not rare occurrence and even on such notable motorcycles as the Suzuki Hayabusa which has received many awards there is no mention of them. 72bikers (talk) 19:19, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Also there should not need to be a debate on a issue that clearly is not the norm in motorcycle articles. 72bikers (talk) 19:23, 22 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I agree. Putting awards on bike articles, does not seem to be the norm, so a long drawn on debate on it doesn't really seem to be required. If a really well known and respect bike such as the Hayabusa, does not have mention of its numerous awards on its article, then a minor bike such as the Gixxer most certainly shouldn't have mention of its far less notable awards. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:33, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Well done nicely spoken. Looks like we were on the same page with this 72bikers (talk) 03:33, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

List of countries by graduates in natural sciences and engineering
Please do not blank pages, as you did to List of countries by graduates in natural sciences and engineering, whatever the reason. Somebody will come to Wikipedia, find a blank page and wonder what on earth is going on. If an article is a duplicate of another, then redirect it. If you feel that an article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, then look at the deletion policy. If it indeed meets the criteria for deletion in your judgement, then nominate it as appropriate. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 22:28, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

I undid your cut n paste move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Honda CRF1000L (and Honda XRV750) a different title by copying the content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Africa Twin. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:13, 6 April 2016 (UTC)


 * In that case, I will revert your edit & then make a request to merge the history of the two original articles, into the new article. That seems like the easiest way. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 09:16, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That's perfect. Thank you for taking the trouble to do that. — Diannaa (talk) 13:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I hope it works, it's the first time I have requested a history merge, and I wasn't sure if it could be done, because it was merging two articles, into another one. Fingers crossed. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:02, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Appleyard is the history merge maven, I'm sure it's all right. — Diannaa (talk) 21:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

List of fastest production motorcycles

 * Are you going to show that those are track only or in track form bikes? It should state somewhere that those two are not street legal. 72bikers (talk) 03:23, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

I was thinking the same, the additions to the list were good, but there needs to be additional notes to say which are street legal.Zachlita (talk) 18:22, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes that is exactly what I was thinking. Just so that no one is mislead with the information given. 72bikers (talk) 04:52, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Also maybe define how the ducati achieves its top speed. That it is a street legal bike but that you have to equip the track only exhaust. That is provided from the manufacture along with the street legal exhaust. And that it does not need to be derestricted or tampered with but just adding the manufactures track exhaust 72bikers (talk) 05:02, 17 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Good points. Yes, of course the notes should make things a little clearer. I will get to it. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:15, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Tracking vs. Harrasing
I was amused by the discussion | here. If you have a history with someone that causes you to be wary of them, it's self-preservation to track their edits and speak up when you find conversations about you or incidents involving you. As long as you butt out from discussions and conflicts that don't involve you, the other editor doesn't have a leg to stand on by accusing you of "following". It's just a red herring to distract from the real issue of their behavior. Lynn (SLW) (talk) 12:58, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Considering that the user in question has already accused me of being a sock-puppet and is commenting on the merits of accusing people of being sock-puppets, then I agree with you 100%. Looking at someone's edits is obviously acceptable and obviously done by those who are making sock-puppet accusations, so yes they are trying to distract people from their errors, by throwing mud at everyone who disagrees with their edits. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:56, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * "Looking at someone's edits is...obviously done by those who are making sock-puppet accusations" Oh, but they defending the project against you, so their motives are entirely unquestionable.  Defending yourself against them is just being petty.  Lynn (SLW) (talk) 11:42, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * 99% of things on Wikipedia are very petty. I find it annoying that I came to Wikipedia to edit, and found that I had to learn all the petty rules and guidelines in order to have any chance of my content surviving here. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:53, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are, which is why I usually tell people throwing the WP:ALPHABETSOUP at me to go pound sand. 99% of the people that like to do so only pay attention to standards they like, they rest they flout with impunity. Lynn (SLW) (talk) 12:01, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I told you, the rules only apply to others. Lynn (SLW) (talk) 11:56, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Indeed they do. Morals and fairness from certain editors, is a little to much to expect. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Loved you edit summary. My other pet peeve is the cronyism.  Editors butting into conflicts that don't involve them.  Notice how the same editor had jumped in the sock-puppet discussion? Lynn (SLW) (talk) 14:20, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * It's to be expected. Of course if you or I did that, there would be an ANI report crying about how mean we are. Oh well, as long as I don't change my style to accommodate their silliness, all is good. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:23, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Yamaha TRX850
Hi, Please could you justify why you deleted the line, "Essentially a solo café racer, the TRX has meagre provision for a pillion passenger, with a thin pillion seat, a token seat strap, and uncomfortably high foot pegs"? Cheers. Arrivisto (talk) 14:57, 24 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, and yes of course I am happy to explain why I deleted that content: It seemed very much like a personal opinion, not a fact and therefore unsuitable for inclusion on wikipedia. Take a moment to read similar content that I added to the KTM 390 series article.


 * Motor Cycle News reviewed the bike and complimented the build quality, saying "It may be built in India, but the Duke seems to be well finished. Every bike is quality checked in Austria before being shipped to dealers."


 * It makes it clear that it is the opinion of a third party reviewer, puts the relevant text as a quote, and shows the source.


 * If the content you wish to be included is from a review, I would suggest either quoting or paraphrasing the review, and providing a citation. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:37, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thanks for your reply, but I disagree with your assessment. To call a bike a café racer is a factual description, not an opinion.  It may not be a 1960's bike, nor a faux-retro (like the new Thruxton), nor does it have spoked wheels, but it is a café  racer nonetheless.  The pillion provision is awful (fact) for the reasons given, and Yamaha effectively acknowledge this by producing an optional plastic tonneau cover to replace the "seat".  A delicious TRX project I saw at the Stafford Classic Bike Show yesterday was original apart from dispensing with the useless pillion seat and glassing it over.  Of course, I have been the main contributing editor to the TRX page for some time, but I acknowledge that I don't own it; and, being anxious to avoid an edit war, I shan't interfere for the time being; but I note that another editor, 49.196.128.105, reverted your edit (which you promptly re-reverted), so it's currently 2:1 in favour of café racer! Arrivisto (talk) 10:01, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I've never ridden the bike in question, but I certainly don't doubt your statements.
 * The problem is that if you want to say that something is awful, we can't do it on wikipedia, all we can do is say "this media source stated that it was awful"
 * I will take a look for some sources online, hopefully I will find some sources supporting as much of the above content as possible.
 * I'm at work now, so I will have to take my time, but hopefully I will get around to it, within the next few hours. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:28, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Reviews are proving hard to locate. The MCN one is already on the article, and it says a little about the uncomfortable pillion. More is hard to find...
 * I have plenty of refs. When I dig them out, I'll reinstate the sentence, supported with citations.  Best! Arrivisto (talk) 12:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Sounds good, thanks. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:24, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Transphobia
Please stop making edits implying that the term misgendered is a neologism, as you did and. As I already explained in the reverting your first change, misgendered is over 30 years old, which is an eternity in this fast moving field. In particular, the term is older than other terms such as genderqueer and transwoman, and unless you want to call every term in the transgender glossary a "neologism", misgendered certainly does not qualify as one. Mathglot (talk) 09:41, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * You're basing your comments on the assumption that the criteria for a term being a neologism, is purely based on when the term was first used, not basing it on when the word was recognized by mainstream sources. You should also note that the standard procedure for dealing with neologisms, is to just remove them from the article. I was trying to be nice by offering a compromise and explaining that it is a neologism. I can deal with it the other way, if you prefer. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:09, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * No, I'm basing it on solid evidence that the term misgendered was attested in at least forty books by 1986, according to the n-gram chart I linked for you right in the edit summary, and once again above. The evidence also compares usage of misgendered with two control terms that are widely used in articles about transgender issues all over Wikipedia and are not marked as neologisms, though they both happen to be more recent than misgendered. You then reverted, stating in the edit summary that "it doesn't really seem that way to me" as your evidence for misgendered as a neologism.


 * "You should also note that the standard procedure for dealing with neologisms, is to just remove them from the article."


 * Noted, and agreed. So, stick to your guns: for consistency's sake, why not go ahead and remove every term from the Transphobia article that was attested by mainstream sources more recently than "misgendered" and let's see what other editors have to say about that.  You can start with cissexism, cisgenderism, cisnormativity, transphobic, transphobia, trans bashing, and deadnaming, all of which are not attested at the 40-books threshold until later than "misgendered" (don't believe me, look it up).


 * "I was trying to be nice by offering a compromise and explaining that it is a neologism."


 * You don't have to be nice, though I do appreciate it; however you gave no explanation, just your opinion. Your "compromise" was to undo my edit. If an edit is challenged for factual accuracy, you need to support it with evidence, not mere opinion.  Attempting to revert a change you don't like by stating "it doesn't seem that way to me" in the edit summary is an example of the Because I say so argument, and it won't wash, especially when it flies in the face of solid evidence to the contrary.  Your edit was factually incorrect for the reasons given there and here, so I reverted it.


 * By all means, "deal with it the other way," if that's your preference. The concrete evidence is strongly against you. Mathglot (talk) 20:03, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Based on bullet point 2 in the box at the top, perhaps this thread would be more appropriate if it were moved to Talk:Transphobia. What do you think?  Mathglot (talk) 20:19, 3 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Either way, I think that for the sake of peace and stability on that article, I will not restore the content referring to misgender being a neologism, unless I can find a reliable source that supports that claim. At the end of the day, I think that most content disputes can be solved by using reliable sources, and even when those sources do not support the content I consider to be ideal, it's best in the long run for most articles.

Re: Sexism edit sum
Probably more likely an overly enthusiastic student edit than a COI editor. Student editing projects are a plague persistent problem on gender related articles. Timothy Joseph Wood 12:31, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, probably not a genuine COI. I've just seen so many references to that particular book on gender related articles. I'm guessing it's the same two or three editors putting it on there. However, that is of course the dangerous thing about guessing, I could be 100% wrong. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 13:10, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

On Victory
Hi there! Thank you for your thoughtful edits to the listing of Victory. Having reviewed your edits, I think they make the page more concise and to-the-point, which is clearly a good thing. So, thank you!

I have a question, though, regarding the removal of the purpose statement ("Victory exists to honor God and establish Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, socially-responsible, churches and campus ministries in every nation"). The statement appears word-for-word in a properly cited column by Christianity Today columnist Ed Stetzer. I'd like to understand the thought behind the removal of this particular chunk of text, because I think listing an organization's purpose statement (or mission) would be great information to have in a page about that organization. But maybe that's just me.

I also found myself thinking, maybe the citation isn't good enough. But Steven_Furtick's blog was accepted as a source for citing the purpose of the Elevation Network in its listing on the Elevation_Church page (which was one of my pegs when I began to contribute to the Victory listing). So color me a little confused. I hope you don't mind my asking. Obviously, I'm hoping we can Undo this part and keep it in, or perhaps transfer it to a more appropriate part of the page; if not, at least I would have understood the thought process behind its removal.

Again, I appreciate your edits, and look forward to collaborating further with you and the Wikipedia community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ganns (talk • contribs) 08:07, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * My reasoning behind the removal was...
 * 1. The quote on the source was a word for word copy from the everynation website, and as such it seemed to be pretty close to being a primary source.
 * 2 Secondly, as you stated, it is from a blog. I personally, don't really have much faith in using blogs as sources in most situations. ::: I would probably have objected, if I had been editing the other article that relied on it as a source.
 * At the end of the day, I usually rely on news sources for content like this, if it is notable, it's probably in a reliable source somewhere. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:48, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying. Have a pleasant day. (Apologies too for the absence of the signatures; this is literally the first time I'm posting on anyone's Talk pages, and I haven't gotten the hang of things. Cheers!) Ganns (talk) 09:50, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * You're more than welcome. I tend to be a little too happy to remove content from articles on specific churches, because a lot of the time people add overly promotional content from their own particular church. It may be the case in this particular situation that the content could have remained. As long as it is worded nicely, and not promotional, I don't have too many opinions on that content being restored to the article. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:00, 17 May 2016 (UTC)


 * I think your reasons are very valid. Victory will just have to take it as a challenge to make the kind of impact on mainstream media that would allow third-party content from reliable sources to reflect the church's purpose statement to come across in a way that is organic and natural. Thanks again for your time! Ganns (talk) 10:13, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea where you are from, but I am well aware that in the Philippines the Marcos family is hated by some and adored by others, and such feelings should never be used as motivation to edit wikipedia.

 * Hey 72! Long time no see. Of course, I will have a look. I have a pile of reports to finish at work first, but as soon as I get them finished, I will give it my full attention. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:00, 26 July 2016 (UTC)


 * As per BRD, I reverted the article to a previous stable version. I think the best thing is that the IP gets consensus for any changes, before making the edits. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:06, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input and third opinion on this matter. 72bikers (talk) 18:25, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

The WP:BURDEN of reverting
If you want to restore the text I removed from Honda CBR600F, cool, but per WP:BURDEN you must add citations as well. I removed all of those paragraphs because none of them cited a single source. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 12:02, 26 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh. The wonderful debate of WP:PRESERVE vs WP:BURDEN. If you have a definitive answer as to which takes priority, then please inform me. However, I was more concerned with consensus and BRD. The article was stable. You edited it, and were reverted. So now the article seems to be at the "D" of BRD. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:13, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Neither bit of policy supports the inclusion of content that fails WP:Verifiability. And I did start a discussion about it; feel free to join in. You’d be the first. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 12:18, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest tagging it with a citation required tag, rather than edit warring. Looking at the amount of reverts you've made recently, and the fact that you just made a 3RR report, I guess you might see a boomerang flying your way if you keep on reverting. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:27, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The single revert of a policy violation I made today, you mean, and the two made over 24 hours before that? And when I was the only one attempting to discuss them? What is boomerang-worthy here? —67.14.236.50 (talk) 22:43, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Reporting someone for edit warring on one article, and then making multiple reverts on the same article, could be considered to be boomerang worthy. I'd rather have discussion than ANI reports so don't worry too much. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:04, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

You should activate email
I've got evidence that you probably need to add to Sockpuppet investigations/Jagello but I can't do it on-wiki for various reasons. I think the way you worded the original evidence was problematic, but the content was itself not a violation of WP:OUT, so if you re-worded it to emphasize the fact that all of the information is available on-wiki, and that the off-wiki evidence was all explicitly stating "I am this user on-wiki and I did this and that", then it would not need to be revdel-led. My userpage has a bunch of watchers, including numerous admins and probably more than one current or former Arbitrator, but no one has redacted this yet because I was careful to word it in a manner that didn't violated any PAG.

Also pinging User:Bbb23 and User:L235 for fear the SPI will be closed and archived as unactionable before you respond to this.

Please, remove the deletion tags from the pages
Hello, i am really shocked to have found that you have placed speedy deletion tags on some of the pages created by me such as Karuna Gopal, K K Handa, Sarman Singh and others. They are all very popular in their streams. Please, check out the references given on their pages.

I am a learner on Wikipedia and I have really took time out to create those pages as per the policies of Wiki to build wiki. I never thought that contributing to Wikipedia for about one and two year, people will question my interest at it or ask me whether i am being paid for the same or not. I really feel hurt with your question. I never thought that my contributions to Wikipedia would come to such a thing. I have created those pages because i feel that i should help Indian personalities get recognized for their services and work. The pages that i have created for the people, entity are all unique and as per the Wikipedia Policies. Please, check out the references. I understand you as an administrator have the role to manage, monitor quality of Wikipedia pages but I would request you to consider that pages i created are all unique too. Kindly remove the tags and help me continue doing what i am doing for i really want to contribute to Wikipedia. Thanks a lot.


 * Just stop it. The K K Handa article was already deleted, and you created it again with different punctuation to get around the deletion. I'm not an administrator, I just think your articles are created with some form of agenda. I'm not sure if you have a conflict of interest, a POV to push, or if you are simply a paid editor, but the vast majority of your articles should be deleted. These people are not notable. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Caster Semenya
You appear to be involved in an edit war over including information regarding hyperandrogenism, such as with this edit. This information is known, but it comes from a single point source that was anonymously produced. Per WP:BLPGOSSIP, this information can not be included until such time as another source is produced that is not based on the original leak. Also be aware that removing such material from an article is exempt from WP:3RR restrictions. I strongly encourage you to discuss the issue on the talk page before attempting this inclusion again. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:07, 18 August 2016 (UTC)


 * It's ok, I have no desire to edit war over this point. I may at some time try to resolve this with a simple rewording. I'm sure the fact that it has been all over the media is notable in itself, and not portraying the claims as facts, merely as something that has been reported might be more suitable. The article already discusses the leak, so mentioning the content of the leak isn't a huge step to make, if done correctly. Thanks for the advice Hammersoft, it's so much nicer and productive to have a message on my talk page, than someone shouting at me on ANI. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:48, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome :) I'd still be careful about inclusion. That it was leaked might be news in and of itself, but it would still likely fall afoul of WP:BLP concerns. --Hammersoft (talk) 17:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)


 * And less of this mocking nonsense. Please watch WP:BLP. You're long enough here to know the rules - A l is o n  ❤ 01:30, 19 August 2016 (UTC)


 * A l is o n, "hahaha. NO" in an edit summary is a unacceptable, while bullshit and shitty are acceptable? I'm not sure that I fully understand the logic in that, surely the use of "bullshit and shitty" in one edit summary is more offensive that "hahaha. NO"
 * I don't actually see why you felt any need to post on my talk page, I had already confirmed that I understood and agreed with the previous poster, who had voiced a concern about the BLP issues. Due to that issue being resolved, did you feel the need to pick apart an edit summary of mine, just because sourced content that I added to an article, didn't fit in with your particular beliefs regarding gender?
 * I'd rather you came straight to the point, rather than making petty comments about an obviously harmless edit summary, if you have some moral/ethical concern about something related to me. I'm receptive to constructive criticism, when it is made in a polite manner. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:25, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Citroen 2CV
Hi there. What were you trying to do here? --John (talk) 10:15, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I was trying to revert back to the most recent stable version of the article, to prevent edit warring. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:31, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I see. Did you read the discussion in the article talk page? Did you read the material you were restoring? --John (talk) 10:35, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes + Yes. I think as a content dispute, it would be best to deal with it on the talk page, once the initial bold edit has be reverted. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:39, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I see. Since you have involved yourself, what is your view on the merits of the unsourced material that I have removed after a six-week discussion? Do you think it should be allowed to remain, in violation of WP:V? --John (talk) 10:59, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * In the past, I would have agreed with you, 100%. However, I was subject to a huge amount of whining and moaning on ANI, when I started to removed large chunks of content, due to a lack of sources. In my opinion, there is no clear priority regarding WP:PRESERVE vs WP:BURDEN. I guess if you had removed things a little more slowly, piece by piece, then it is more likely to be approved of. What people always tend to ignore is that if "their" content is removed due to a lack of source, then it can always be restored, once they have obtained a source. Do you feel the content is inaccurate? or merely unsourced? If it's not accurate, then it should go. If it's unsourced, but the accuracy isn't disputed, then it's a gray area. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:58, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't see a big distinction between "unsourced for years, under discussion for six weeks" and "inaccurate". Indeed it is impossible to tell the difference. If you wish to get involved in this matter, it might be better to post in talk than to revert edits which are in compliance with policy. --John (talk) 12:37, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * The problem is that while your removal of content was in line with wikipedia policy, the edits that restore that content was also in line with wikipedia policy. I would be more inclined to ignore contradictory policies and just make the article better. It's better to reach a compromise with those who seem to give a shit about keeping that content, than it is to go through a month or two of various noticeboards and debates. Up to you, I don't like the 2CV, so I don't plan to waste much time on that crappy little car's article. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 14:05, 23 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Spacecowboy, I welcome your presence. Sorry it's a boring topic... John's deletions are for the most part of verifiable material, I am trying to help weed out some of the OR portions and add sources but it's not easy when John keeps edit warring. I am sorry that I didn't read the 2CV talkpage in July. For me, before I engage in a large scale and potentially contested edit I contact possibly interested editors (easily found through the edit history) to build support in advance. That way one can avoid a lot of unpleasantness. Best regards,  Mr.choppers &#124;   ✎  19:14, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm sure the other editor involved assumes that I have some political agenda (I'm waiting to be called CIS privileged or something similar) - all I'm concerned about is that the organization in question are known for controversy, and supporters of that organization are trying to remove all traces.

Please don't remove road intersection lists as WP:NOTGUIDE
Please do not remove road intersection lists as WP:NOTGUIDE. It looks like more of a WP:POINT edit, like what you did to the Roxas Boulevard article. Road junction/intersection tables are allowed.--TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 08:47, 1 October 2016 (UTC)


 * 1. You might want to consider WP:AGF before you start talking about WP:POINT.
 * 2. It's a waste of space to have a list of intersections, and if they have traffic signals, or allow U-turns. Why would anyone want that on Wikipedia?

Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:01, 4 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah. I posted on the article talk page about this THREE MONTHS AGO. No one objected in the last three months, so I suggest you gain consensus for changing what can be considered to the stable version of the article. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 07:03, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

I see that road intersection lists to be a guide for you, but please see MOS:RJL and the guidelines by WikiProject Highways, if you're still not aware of the road/highway article structure.

What's with the Phonology section in Indian English?
The information in the Phonology section seems incomplete and inadequate. I've worked on improving it, but it is reverted.

This is how it was 'Indian accents vary greatly. Most Indians lean toward a more vernacular, native-tinted accent for their English speech.'

The changes I had made was 'Indian accents vary greatly. Few Indians speak English with an accent similar to the Received Pronunciation which is referred to the Standard British(English) Accent, whereas most Indians lean toward a more vernacular, native-tinted accent for their English speech. For instance, natives from the east and those from the south of India who are more familiar with their their respective Regional language(s) than English tend to pronounce English words in accents of their regional languages, unlike those from modern times who give emphasis to their Pronunciation in English.'

It is being reverted and the Phonology section contains the same incomplete and inadequate information as before. So, can you add adequate information in the Phonology section or help me do so? Thank you. EpiphanicJoe (talk) 08:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Is the above based on a verifiable source, or just your opinion based on your experience? Also, to say that few Indians speak with a British accent does not seem to be required, how about a focus on how they do speak, rather on how they don't speak? Few speak with an American accent either, do we need to mention that? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Obi2canibe (talk) 16:37, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Just a couple of points. Firstly, this account is ~20 months old, so there's no need to template; WP:DTTR is a nicety in these situations. Secondly, since the editor has not actually edited for the last three days, I wonder what precisely inspired it / how necessary it actually was. Cheers. &mdash;  O Fortuna   semper crescis, aut decrescis  16:46, 7 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Obi2canibe please don't try to introduce your petty dramas to my talk page. Maybe it would be a really great idea if you put your attention on contributing to making Wikipedia better, rather than on if I do or do not use an edit summary. Hopefully, you won't feel the need to ever post on my talk page again. Bye bye Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:08, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

3RR
You are the one who has violated the 3RR rule, along with making several personal attacks. I reverted your unexplained removal of content and your POV edits, and now you're trying to portray it as if you were doing something noble. Hilarious. Ohio girl (talk) 10:52, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * No, obviously that's not correct. There is a huge difference between adding content and reverting someone's edits. I'm not trying to portray anything as anything, I'm just warning you that you are subject to an edit block for making excessive reverts. If you use that warning as a catalyst to cause further disruption, or as an honest warning that keeps you out of trouble, is entirely up to you. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 11:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * No, you were making unconstructive edits and I reverted them to keep the article credible. Your deleting giant sections of sourced content and adding clearly biased sentences to the lead is not "adding content". If anything, I was reverting vandalism. Ohio girl (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)


 * As per wikipedia rules, content disputes do not excuse editors from the 3RR rule. The fact that you can't even accept that you did something wrong, tells me a lot about the (lack of) respect that you have for Wikipedia. A good editor breaks a rule, apologizes and vows not to repeat their mistake. A disruptive editor breaks a rule, makes excuses, blames someone else and at no point accepts responsibility for their own actions - it's always someone else's fault. Which category do you fall into?

Dispute resolution needed / edit war
Hello. There is an edit war on the page "List of countries by median wage" where user insist on using methodology which is blatant OR and OC. Specifically the user says the numbers will be deleted modified if someone concludes that they are such. I have attempted to modify and delete, but the user always reverts. I believe it is OR because the user takes different sets of numbers to arrive at a conclusion not explicitly mentioned by the source. It is OR plain and simple and I quoted the relevant rule. Lneal001 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:51, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
 * What is the process now? Lneal001 (talk) 17:29, 17 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I'd suggest that unless Jeine091 gains consensus for their designed changes, then as per BRD they can't include that content.
 * Seeing that everyone on that talk page has told Jeine091 that it is OR and shouldn't be included, it's going to be very hard for them to claim any form of consensus at the moment. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 06:04, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Since the entire page constitutes disputed content, what do we do with the page itself? Lneal001 (talk) 14:18, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 * My guess would be to take it back to the original redirect, that was there before the article was created. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 09:43, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

After your claiming a non-existent consensus to justify repeated reinsertion of poorly sourced allegations of illegal behaviour at Manny's bio, I think it's best you read this. --Hillbillyholiday (talk) 12:22, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * "Poorly sourced"? huffington post, the guardian, bleacher report,ny daily news, NBC, the times, - are these the poor sources you are talking about? "illegal behavior"? A class lawsuit for fighting with an injury, recovering from an injury and turning down a PED blood test - which one of those is illegal? Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has had suspicion of Pacquiao's former strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza. Roach stated that Ariza had been giving Pacquiao "special drinks" without his permission. Roach also stated "One of the reasons I don't work with him [Ariza] anymore is he's a little shady. He used to give Manny a drink before workouts, and I asked him what was in the drink and he would never tell me. I told him I need to know what was in the drinks because you're giving it to my fighter."

The given source, kdramastars.com, is not good enough. In fact the entire section is cobbled together from primary sources of varying quality. One is a copyright-violating youtube clip. As multiple editors have told you, it needs to stay out until a consensus has been reached on whether to include it, and if so, how it should be worded. --Hillbillyholiday (talk) 13:10, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Don't revert out RS that state what you refuse to believe
You are engaged in edit-warring at Targeted Killings, using in your edit summaries personal beliefs in defense of Duterte, in the face of massive RS evidence, much of it based on his explicit declarations, that he advocates extrajudicial killings asnd the targeting of anyone assumed to be part of the drug scene. Your personal convictions have no weight against the weight of excellent sources. So drop the reverting.Nishidani (talk) 14:47, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Don't be silly. They are legitimate police operations. It's nothing to do with defending Duterte. It's to do with facts, because that's what encyclopedias deal with. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 10:59, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. You admit you are here to defend 'legitimate police operations.' Amnesty Interrnational and Human Rights Watch, to cite a few important sources, state they are examples of 'targeted killings'. The page features 'targeted killings'. We go by sources, and your personal POV or opinions count for nothing. Revert again, rather than going to the talk page and outlining why Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch sources cannot be used for this page, and I will report you.Nishidani (talk) 11:32, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Sock Puppet Investigation
There is an investigation on the both of us. It would have been polite if the person filing it had informed us, but it's possible they wanted to have this fly under the radar so we didn't respond.

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

 * To answer your questions, yes, it was in large part due to your "translating" their usernames, which at best comes across as a mocking personal attack, and at worst comes across as racist. While I'm not jumping to the conclusion that you were being willfully racist, it could easily be taken that way and deeply offend somebody. In fact, this kind of apparent cultural mocking would run the risk of offending somebody on any page. It just can't be tolerated. Again, not saying that was your intent, but it just goes too far, even given our somewhat flexible standards of talk page enforcement. Setting that point aside though, your "translation" also comes across as a condescending invalidation of your fellow editors and would seem to imply that they have a pro-Japanese bias, which is something you explicitly did on the talk page multiple times. I assume that was your intent? That would make sense, given your repeated comments such as "trying to whitewash the blackface" and such. When there's a dispute over contentious content in a BLP, nuanced discussion and dispute resolution is needed. An RfC costs nothing. But you can't just accuse people of POV and whitewashing. But, fundamentally, it was your "translations" that crossed the line, IMO, and I felt some sort of action was needed in response. I don't feel strongly about TBANing you from the article; I chose to do so out of restraint, rather than another BLP AE block on your account. I'm not choosing sides against you in the dispute. I think things just got way too heated, and temporarily taking you out of the article was a solution. If you think you can help negotiate a better solution, I'm all ears. S warm   ♠  19:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

S warm  Thanks for the reply, that makes things much easier for understand, of course there are a couple of points that I would like to go over.

1 - "it was in large part due to your "translating" their usernames, which at best comes across as a mocking personal attack, and at worst comes across as racist." - I didn't consider it to be mocking - it's the equivalent of calling you "Mr. Swarm" - and I certainly don't see anything racist about it. But far more importantly, this is exactly the same as Hijiri88's talk page comment in which he translated my name "Spacecowboy" into Japanese "Uchū no Ushi-Otoko" and referred to me using that Japanese translation, despite he protesting about me doing the same with comments such as "now making fun of us by transcribing our names into butchered Japanese" - if we are both doing the same thing, then surely both of us or neither of us should be subject to sanctions.

"But, fundamentally, it was your "translations" that crossed the line, IMO, and I felt some sort of action was needed in response." My translation was no different from the translation that Hijiri made of my name, so deserves the same response from an admin.

2. " your "translation" also comes across as a condescending invalidation of your fellow editors and would seem to imply that they have a pro-Japanese bias" Not at all, all three of us speak Japanese - (granted I'm not very good), all three of us have been or currently are foreign residents of Japan - any implication would apply equally to me, as I have a similar background.

3. "which is something you explicitly did on the talk page multiple times. I assume that was your intent? That would make sense, given your repeated comments such as "trying to whitewash the blackface" and such. When there's a dispute over contentious content in a BLP, nuanced discussion and dispute resolution is needed. An RfC costs nothing. But you can't just accuse people of POV and whitewashing." I did imply that they are biased towards Japanese content - the same as they implied that I was a sock-master and even after an SPI showed that I had nothing to do with the alleged socks, the accusations still continued. As with the Japanese translations, this is something that the other two parties are just as guilty of, but here I am with a topic ban, while the other two are free to edit the article?

4. "I think things just got way too heated, and temporarily taking you out of the article was a solution. If you think you can help negotiate a better solution, I'm all ears." This is what matters. Why this happened doesn't really matter at all - but moving on and making sure it doesn't happen again is what's important. I do have a suggestion.

Topic ban for all involved on that one article. Me, Curly Turkey and Hijiri88. I'm sure the article will be just fine without input from any of us. Other editors have supported the inclusion on content related to the blackface incident and other editors have been against including that content - let them work it out. From looking at block records, it seems we all have some previous history of conflicts with other editors - we all made too many reverts on that article, we all made too many ANI reports, we all made slightly personal comments, we all acted without good faith, we all contributed towards this drama. When two editors are edit warring, the sanction usually apply to all involved, this situation should be no different. As an admin you have a duty to find a solution - but you have also have a chance to do what is fair, topic ban for all or topic ban for none, is fair and a good solution. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 09:32, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Hm, I think you make some fair points. I still think the translations came across as mocking and belittling (as it would come across if you did call me 'Mr. Swarm'), but the context you've provided does mitigate my view of the situation. I was thinking of something to deescalate the situation, so I'd rather lift your TBAN than hand out more. But let me review my alternative measures first, and I will get back to you soon. S warm   ♠  21:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Alright, I've imposed page restrictions. Please see the talk page of the article for details. Your ban is officially lifted. S warm   ♠  08:51, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
