Happy Valentine's Day! a day late :/
Ik it's the day after valentine's day but shush no one has to know

Hold on for a minute
I'm uploading all the images for those islands in the California Delta right now (like Atherton Island etc). They should all be up in a few minutes; I've got no problem re-adding them but just a heads-up so you don't waste a ton of time. jp×g 00:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Got it. &#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 00:51, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sumanuil, I think I made a mistake by saying that I had restored a photo of the band Skywhale before actually re-uploading the photo to Wikimedia commons. I have now reuploaded the photo with permission of two of the people in it. Could you please check that my actions are valid and restore the photo and description of the band on the Skywhale page. Thank you, CJCooperCjcooper (talk) 23:39, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I didn't do anything to the description, and the photo is listed as not having copyright info. I'm not gonna put it back without proof of permission, and if you can get that, I don't see why you can't put it back yourself.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 00:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! Laterthanyouthink (talk) 05:01, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

It's because I spend most of my time reverting vandalism via Twinkle, which doesn't give a prompt for a summary. If I'm removing a half dozen repetitions of the word "butt" from a page, wouldn't a edit summary be kind of superfluous?&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 05:32, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

April Fools
you just had to interfere, didn't you? the content I put on Decipherment of Rongorongo is controversial and kept out by gate-keeping (there's a long debate on the talk page). my plan was to add my disputed content as an April Fools' prank. fortunately I got it to stick for several hours, though you had to cut it short. I appreciate your good-faith actions, but you didn't realize what I was doing. hope that clears it up, take care. Xcalibur (talk) 04:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

Correction of a misspelled name in an image caption, unfortunately, resulting in an unwilling break of the image
Please forgive the mistake. I'm still learning the complicated Wikipedia rules. While adding some NOTABLY and ATTESTED information to the Jean-Michel Basquiat page, I noticed that the caption 'Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Bruno Bischofberger, and Fransesco Clemente in 1984' below their photo at left, had a misspelled name 'Fransesco Bonami' instead Francesco, So I automatically corrected it, very late at night here in Italy, while follow sleeping. I didn't realize I was broking the photo and I'm very sorry for that. Maybe you know how to correct that misspelled name. I learned now that if I will see a misspelled name in the caption of a photo I will not touch it. So that's not the case at all of vandalism or anything like that. I will try now to post again the notably and relevant information that I'm sure Basquiat would have liked, on his best friends artists, he esteemed soo much to make important portraits of them, exhibited in major museums. It's relevant information on his life, isn't it? I saw another little contribution I gave 'Basquiat also participated in a Christmas benefit with various New York artists for the benefit of the family of Michael Stewart in 1983.[74]' with the link, I found, was accepted, good. thanks for what you are doing against vandalism. tetide Tetide (talk) 10:06, 10 April 2021 (UTC) I wait another couple of hours to post again the text, of course without touching the misspelled name in the photo's caption. Just to make sure that due to different time zone you have read the above message.Tetide (talk) 13:56, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

CSD nomination of Template:User-Wikigryphon
Hi there. I've removed the CSD nomination of that page as I believe it doesn't fall under any of the CSD criteria (at least to my knowledge). Sdrqaz (talk) 23:19, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * It's a duplicate of Template:User wikipedia/Gryphon. Do duplicate templates really need AfD discussion? &#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 23:21, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I won't object if you renominate it, but I don't think it would get deleted as a speedy deletion. I suppose you could WP:PROD it, but the creator could just object to it. Alternatively, you could redirect it to the duplicate page. Sdrqaz (talk) 23:36, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Oops
Sorry about this image breakage. I just did over a thousand of these with JWB, which doesn't afford a preview, and I just wasn't looking carefully enough on that one. Hopefully I didn't do many more like that. Dicklyon (talk) 03:06, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Ōtira page
thanks for your help though I see I am in the same predicament - none of my edits are going ahead because of the automated filter thing. The trouble is, the transgression in the text does not show up so it can be corrected. Any advice on that? And thanks for getting the image corrected - I sweated over that when I noticed it had gone and was working on how to get it back. Tihiresearch (talk) 00:35, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

What aren't you seeing? The internal links you broke, or the file you broke? By the way, there's no macron in the sources I can access.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 00:38, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

There are macrons in E. Best (forget the year, sorry, something like 1892). Well not a macron but double oo - my last chat to you has gone, I'm probably on the wrong page, so will try again: How do I get to change the title so I can include a macron there? Been trying for ages and nothing is obvious - thanksTihiresearch (talk) 00:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

First, you need more than one source. Then read this, it can explain in more detail: Requested_moves.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 00:55, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok thanks, so you are repeatedly erasing my changes. Macrons are one thing but other information like the Otira station when there is no picture there of it. Like the gallery is now called something else and what has a spider to do with Otira that it should be at the top of the page. I live here and would like to see relevant information that reflects the place. Macrons are important, they can change the meaning of a Māori word. Elsdon Best wrote in his book of place names that Ōtira was called Ootira. The time of his writing and his travelling is a truer indication of what the sound of the word was. I don't see any references given to keep the name on the site as Otira, yet there it is, while my work is constantly deleted?? Just saying - who says that is correct (I know it isn't) but it gets to stay that way. Why?Tihiresearch (talk) 01:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

It's a disambiguation link, and if you don't know what that is, I strongly suggest reading Help:Menu/Editing_Wikipedia and the Manual of Style before continuing. I don't object to adding a macron, but as they are, your edits are doing more harm than good.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 02:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

April 2021
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to Radha Stirling: you may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Firestar464 (talk) 06:28, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

I already have it bookmarked, but thank you.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 06:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

May 2021
Hi. I saw that you reverted changes I made to the Ruwanpura Expressway page. You mentioned that I am hijacking the page, which is simply not true. I created this page when this project was initially proposed in 2014 with my old account, SP_Lions_Roar, hence it is not hijacking at all. Also, please check your research and notice that this project got delayed and since then Sri Lanka created a sixth highway, making this the 7th. That is why I was in the process of making the page more accurate (please look it up your self, its even on google maps). Please don’t falsely accuse me of Hijacking. If I am doing something wrong with how I edit, let me know. I appreciate the help, but know your facts. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by TRoaringL (talk • contribs) 17:42, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Suggesting for doing some perfection on Meskel square article.
Hello, i thank you for making some edit to the article but i suggest adding a brief description about the square like adding "Meskel Square is an open space in Addis Ababa for celebrations, worship, protests, races, competitions, street football, rest, meetings,Music concerts, parking, advertising, etc.and putting the place host historical events like the huge CUD Demonstration in 2005 and obviously the Great Ethiopian Run. and i don't see the necessity of adding more than a paragraph to the page for an event which take place in the square which can be moved/obtained to/on its own page just by linking. Thank You!

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the best way to respond to a reversion you carried out on an edit I did on the page Seaton Burn Wagonway - apologies if this isn't the correct way. I received a message from you saying that I vandalized the page. I didn't do that nor was that my intention. I simply found that the page had a few spelling mistakes and I fixed them. There was a mixture of spellings of the word wagon, about half were waggon, and half wagon, and I thought the page would be better with all spellings correct - although if you checked the comment I made on my edit, I did point out that the original spelling was possibly waggon, but this is now considered a British archaic spelling. I also fixed another small nomenclature mistake. I grew up in that area in North East England, so I was simply trying to make the page better. I appreciate your efforts to stop vandalism on Wikipedia, but in this case I think you have misinterpreted my intention. Thanks. 81.101.90.171 (talk) 17:34, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

You "fixed" file names and a reference URL. I don't know what else to call that.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 22:08, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. I really wasn't sure if this was the correct way to engage. I really didn't change any file names or URLs. If you'd care to check, I simply aligned some spelling inconsistencies within the article itself (changed waggon to wagon) and changed the description of a picture from "the Seaton Burn" to "Seaton Burn". I definitely didn't vandalise the article and didn't try to. I appreciate you looking after the integrity of Wikipedia articles, but in this case, I was simply trying to make an existing article look better. Any chance you could have another look? Thanks. 81.101.90.171 (talk) 22:23, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

You changed every instance of "waggon" to "wagon". One of those was a URL, three were file names. If you don't believe me, check.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 22:27, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean. My mistake. Just clumsiness, not an attempt at vandalism though, I hope you agree. 81.101.90.171 (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Question re removal of image from 2007 New Zealand police raids
Hi Sumanuil, I see you removed File:Antiterrorprotestauck.jpg from the page 2007 New Zealand police raids. I see the notice on your talk page explains that you remove images where the file does not exist or has been deleted. The file still exists as far as I can see, so I was just wondering why the removal? (I appreciate I'm probably missing something, am still learning about Wikipedia & image usage is a tricky area!) Thank you, Chocmilk03 (talk) 04:26, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Antiterrorprotestauck.jpg still exists, Antiterrorraidprotest.jpg was deleted as a copyright violation. The latter was what was on the page.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 05:32, 14 June 2021 (UTC)


 * D'oh. My bad. Thank you for clarifying! Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:17, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Speciesbox vs Automatic taxobox
Hi. When describing a taxon other than a species you need to use. When describing a species, as you are with Carthaginian tree frog you need to use. Don't know what I was doing with the but that's fixed too now. Please see Which taxobox should I use? for details. Cheers. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:10, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I've been using because my sandbox seems to demand it. Any idea why that would be?&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 20:13, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi. Not sure. Using makes it appear here however, which I've been trying to rid of stuff that shouldn't be there. The ones remaining are special cases for the most part. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:18, 24 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Also, using display_parent=2 gets the box to display the subfamily, which I reckon is a resonable thing to do as the stub template calls it out. Sorry for the rubbish summary on the last edit, I pressed return too soon. YorkshireExpat (talk) 20:22, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

Should I abandon this project ?
Should I abandon editing and developing Neural Darwinism? Jtwsaddress42 (talk) 21:20, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

As I've said, just don't turn it into an essay, journal article, or PR piece.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 22:13, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your input and insights, I've reverted it to the state I originally found it in. I am a bit disappointed because I expected editorial collaboration, not dictation of tone and manner without correspondence and discussion first. Anyway, I now realize this isn't the proper arena for what I was hoping to convey about Edelman's work surrounding the concept of Neural Darwinism, so I'll take that effort elsewhere.

Please take a little time to correct the factual errors in the original article and fill in the details in a tone that you feel is appropriate and will do justice to the topic. I wish you the best.

Jtwsaddress42 (talk) 20:36, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Sir, In regards to your comment on Neural Darwinism - "I asked you not to turn this into an essay.". You did. So, earlier, I removed all of my contributions per your protestations. They were restored by others. Perhaps if you edited and contributed, instead of deleting, things would go smoother. Or maybe, perhaps, a more collegial tone might do wonders... If you were more respectful, you might get more respect.

If you go to the talk page for Neural Darwinism, you will see my response to the restoration. I was happy to retract my contributions and let you do it your way.

As I said on the talk page, I'm willing to clean it up and eliminate the majority of the peripheral material, or even the entirety of my contributions... But I don't want to waste my time if you are going to delete entire sections. My time is more valuable than that. I'd rather work on it, on my own terms and in my own space, which I will continue to do. As I said before, correct the factual errors of the original article and write it in a tone and manner that you deem appropriate - and, that does the topic justice. Jtwsaddress42 (talk) 21:28, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Again, go ahead and fix it. Just be more careful.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 22:38, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

Moving pages
Hello, Sumanuil,

If you move a page from main space of the project to Draft space, please tag the redirect CSD R2 speedy deletion. It's helpful for admins who patrol the CSD categories to have them tagged for deletion. I'm not sure if you use it but Twinkle is a great tool for tagging pages. Thank you. Liz Read!

Reversion of a wiki entry addition
Hello, I am trying to add a new Wikipedia entry for Sarah Tiana rather than having it redirect to the List of Reno 911! characters page. I would very much appreciate it if you could point out what specifically is wrong with the edit and perhaps how to correct it. Please let me know why the changes are being reverted for no apparent reason. Thanks. EruOfArda (talk) 16:40, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

I've told you already. Read the talk page.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 21:39, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, but there's no technical detail mentioned on the talk page. Is there anything that needs to be done to prevent the changes from being reverted? This is a legitimate entry that needs to be added to Wikipedia. I don't understand what the problem is. EruOfArda (talk) 17:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Scroll down and read the discussion titled "Redirect to List of Reno 911 characters" It's right there, can't miss it.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 21:27, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Scroll down where? Could you either link it here, or just inform me briefly what the problem is? - EruOfArda (talk) 06:29, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

It's at the bottom of the talk page here:Talk:Sarah_Tiana. If you want to remove the redirect, you'll need to discuss it there.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 03:14, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Montpelier Mediterranee Airport.
Thank you for your message. I'm sure that you can see what I was trying to do. The French Republic reorganised its regions a couple of years ago. To say that Montpelier is in Longuedoc Rousillon is simply incorrect, as the region of that name was amalgamated with Midi Pyrenees to form Occitanie. Would that Wikipedia were a little more user friendly. In that case the file names of the French Regional maps would follow a common format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QuiltedBunny (talk • contribs) 00:11, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Tigray Region article
I see you have three times recently altered the Tigray Region article. 

Tired of seeing the page changing back and forth like a ping pong ball with about five players, I spent two to three hours trying to research and figure out which version of the data was correct. Seems like your first edit was indeed to clean up someone else's vandalism, but your second and third edits were reverting someone's edit who was correcting someone else's vandalism... effectively re-vandalizing the page. I know that some of the data is hard to obtain because some parts of these articles were written a time ago and websites have gone by the wayside (and that's why it took me hours to verify most of the pieces of information in these edits/changes and decide which version was correct), so please leave alone this article's statistics at this point.

I also want to advise you that the talk page contains a discretionary sanctions message, for what its worth. Platonk (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * I was just going to leave it. But I thought referring to it as a country was premature while there's still a civil war going on. I don't want to get invovled further, so I will leave it alone unless it re-appears in . &#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 19:20, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Me too at first. I know; the infobox template was confusing. 'Country' did look odd on the diff... until you looked at the actual infobox rendering. 'Country' was a label preceding the word 'Ethiopia' (Tigray Region's country). And a few of the other Ethiopian 'regions' mentioned 'presidents' heading them. Yep, a confusing diff for sure.

Panama Canal Zone
Hi. Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia and patrol new edits. Unfortunately I saw this summary, which I see as a potential disagreement with the policy WP:PRESERVE. If an edit has good parts and bad parts, a simple revert – especially a revert without a descriptive edit summary – is rarely a good idea. Instead the parts that are broken should be improved. Given that, I wouldn't have sent this message myself. Please be more careful while reviewing other people's work in the future, and thanks again. Enterprisey (talk!) 10:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

I got annoyed that they blindly reverted my revert without checking to see why I might have reverted it. And it's a mistake they probably would not have made if they had used the preview button. I do need to relax a bit, though.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Indian route markers
Hi, I'm not sure why you have made this revert: Those route markers for those states were created yesterday and today. --Rschen7754 01:05, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Because it broke other route markers, like the one at Radial Roads, Hyderabad (India).&#32;- Sumanuil (talk)
 * The proper fix for that is to fix those few cases, rather than disabling the many articles for which it is working. The example you gave was using the wrong infobox. --Rschen7754 01:15, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Regardless, it still broke something. Previous edits to that template have also caused similar problems.&#32;- Sumanuil (talk) 01:17, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

 * For new users who don't understand how to use our reference system they may try something other than using ref tags. If you are going to patrol in-page external links, please try taking the time to evaluate if the user was trying to do something else (like add a reference). Remember, we don't have a fixed inline citation style, and folks are frequently trying to figure us out in the first edits. Sadads (talk) 16:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
