Hello, I was wandering, are you a moderator / admin? If so, can I see proof? Also, I am not originally from australia. I don't speak english well. Xerxes — Preceding unsigned comment added by XS2003 (talk • contribs) 10:18, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi XS2003. I have rollback privileges, but I am not an admin. I have not claimed to be. If you don't speak english well, may I suggest editing the Wikipedia that is in your native language. Wikipedia editing requires competence. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 10:30, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
Hey, it is Xerxes. The wikipedia that is in my language has like 3 articles, no one even checks it, so it would be pointless making an article about a rock in australia there. Besides, Cape schanck is my home. And, if I find a source that can be trusted, ill revert your delete, but there are no articles about the island. (that is why I chose to make one.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by XS2003 (talk • contribs) 10:41, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
XS2003 (talk) Hello, and I am sorry for saying "some idiot deleted the entire article." I was annoyed. I spent 30 minutes on it. Then, I spent another 30 minutes on it and this time, I added sources. And then you deleted it... for what? Because I said some idiot? I understand I am not supoused to "attack" you and I am sorry you feel attacked. But that doesn't mean you should go and delete what I wrote again! You could have simply said, Please don't be rude. Luckily there is an undo button. So, unless you did have a reason, please stop deleting my page after I gave sources. Thank you, Xerxes — Preceding unsigned comment added by XS2003 (talk • contribs) 08:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
XS2003 (talk) Hello, this is Xerxes again, and I wanted to know, how am I being distruptive? I added the references, and you deleted it again. I want you to explain why you are deleting it. —Preceding undated comment added 08:04, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hello XS2003. You have not added any references that back up what is written. All you have done is link to the Parks page. I would suggest that you read up on how to edit Wikipedia before you make any further edits. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 08:07, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello, it is Xerxes, and I know I linked to the park page, that is because it says that the island has been formed over millions of years. I had to link to this page, because there aren't really any other sources out there, but this one is enough. I live in cape schanck, so I actually know a handful about the rock, but I am not a valid source. However, this park is. So, I linked it. And, I did not join wikipedia ignorant. I have read about the rules, but i also understand where you are coming from. If you really insist, I could just add Pulpit rock as a heading under Cape Schanck, but I actually have enough information about it in which I could have an induvidual article about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XS2003 (talk • contribs) 08:21, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hello XS2003. I would recommend creating a separate section on the Cape Schanck page. May I also recommend the use of a word processor that has a spell checker before you update the page. Also remember that any claims must be able to be backed up with reliable sources. That is, if I click on the link, I can instantly read and verify any claims made.

Hello David, in relation to Mumtaz Qadri wiki which you reverted my edit, the entire wiki is false propaganda and does not reflect the truth of what happened, and someone keeps providing misleading false information. The vandalised wiki is being kept while the truth is being deleted.
- Thank-you for your comments. I will investigate the issue. David.moreno72 (talk) 16:15, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi david, you removed my page regardng a trial that was conducted for CECS. For some reason you have deleted the page because you said another page was already listed about the subject. If you read through my findings and the first page you would see that they are a seperate concern and research project. So disappointed :( RJ.Calpin6 (talk) 12:43, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
- You have the wrong person. The page was deleted by Acroterion. May I suggest that you take it up with him. In the meantime, why not just add to the existing page. David.moreno72 (talk) 12:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

- I would recommend taking your queries to the talk page of the article and perhaps leave a message on the talk page of the IP that removed the contentious edits. Before making any further edits on the article page make sure you achieve consensus first. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 14:15, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello David.moreno72, you are reversing edits of mine. I don't into wikipedia, I just think the Slater Wave is really cool and want it on the wikipedia page. Since you care so much maybe you could help me format it correctly or cite it correctly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.164.77 (talk) 13:40, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- Biographies of living people (BLP's) need to be neutral. That is, they are free from advertising, puffery and endorsements. As such I cannot see how your edits could be modified or formatted to conform to Wikipedia's policies. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 03:52, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello David.moreno72, may I ask why you reverted my revisions? It's called "the" Sudan in English. It's more correct form with the article. And what about the other page where I contributed quite "constructively". Which part of my edits did you not like? Please elaborate.Listofpeople (talk) 10:23, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Please see the following page: http://www.victorianwars.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=6589Listofpeople (talk) 10:25, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- It was your edit to Sudan, changing it in the lede to The Sudan, when just Sudan is used extensively in the article that caught my attention. I then noticed you had made the same change in Circassians. A further inspection revealed that you were in an edit war with another editor, disregarding his comments on your talk page. Rather than discuss the issue on the article talk page you continued to edit. I then noticed that you had moved the flag from the info box and put a caption to a now non existent image. An unintentional mistake perhaps, but as you have reverted, it would seem that this removal of content is intentional. Now, instead of taking a moment to calmly discuss the issue on the article talk page, you went straight to an administrator. That should be a last resort, not your first dispute resolution action. May I suggest that you start by reading this WP:DR David.moreno72 (talk) 12:07, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- I believe I am good at editing if it's a topic that I have a good knowledge of. I am an expert on this ethnic group and that's why I do contributions only on articles related to that ethnic group. Yes, I know how to edit, but I have never had such an issue with any user before, so I don't know how "edit war" things work here. Of course, some issues need to be discussed on talk pages, but if it's crystal clear that one's constructive edits are reverted, then there's nothing to do other than undoing. And I did so, but I was literally shocked when I saw that you, as a rollbacker, reverted based on a unjust report of that IP user. That's why I wrote to an administrator. I felt really bad. Moreover, I was not notified by that IP user about the fact that s/he reported me. I wrote to the administrator before I saw that. I just viewed the page history of the article "Circassians", then I saw you reverted all my actions just like that IP did. I have been working on that article for hours, doing my best to make it better, but a rollbacker undos them all. This was very dissappointing. About the flag, you are right that I should have also removed the caption when I removed the picture, but I didn't remove the flag from the page, I just moved to the section of tribes since each star on the flag represent a tribe. There are two other more representative images that can be used in the lead section, so that was not really a mistake since when you remove a picture from the infobox, even if you forgot removing the caption, it doesn't show up. That caption is hidden. You see. Other than that, can you see a single mistake of mine? I hope to handle this issue between ourselves. I can see your good faith, and your dedicationg to handling vandalism. I appreciate that. I can remove my message to the administrator if you think it was not necessary. As I said, I didn't know where else to go, as the comments of that IP user were ridiculous enough to be disregarded, so to me, it was not the most rational thing to discuss with that user. Have you seen her/his edits? He warns every single person and accuses of doing disruptive edits. It's not only me. That user's like "I won't warn you again, you might be blocked by an admin if you keep changing the article." But what if there's nothing wrong with my edit, but he obviously some religion-related bias, and puts an irrelevant template on an ethnic group page (it's even irrelevant to have that template on the article of ethnic arab people, let alone an ethnic group like this who was Christian for more than 16 centuries (and there are still Christian ones in large numbers, although being a minority comparing to the majority, but Muslim only for 3 centuries. This is ridiculous, isn't it?)
- Yours faithfully,Listofpeople (talk) 12:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Again, sir, please review this action of yours: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Circassians&diff=718578336&oldid=718577605. If you make a comparison, you will see that you should undo that reversion of yours back to my last version. The only thing that you might perhaps change is putting the flag back to the infobox with the relevant caption. Still though, I kindly suggest that either this or this image are better to be in the infobox as they are very representative of their own kind since it's an homogenous ethnic group at stake. It's not like a nation state, the term does not denote citizenship, it's just an ethnicity, and not a very large one. It's not like Americans where it's better to have the flag, map, or blank for the infobox image.
- Please check these articles:
- Here even in large ethnic groups such as Japanese or Indonesians, people use a non-photomontage single image of regular people since it's OK to do so. I know it's currently not OK to use collage (photomontage) or seperate pictures of notable people as they might not really represent a large nation. However, in the case of images that I suggested, they even wear their only traditional dress and hold the flag of theirs. The picture includes some young dancers and their instructor at the top. There is nothing wrong with that, and the other picture depicts an 18th-century man, again in national costume and flaxen fur hat. While the flag is better to have right below the infobox (outside the infobox) or in the section of tribes (because of the anectode of 12 tribes and 12 stars).
- I would really like to hear your thoughts about this. Thank you again.Listofpeople (talk) 12:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
(I also removed my message to the administrator.)Listofpeople (talk) 12:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
By the way, I am not an expert on the Republic of the Sudan and its people, but I know that there is an exceptional case with it as in the Netherlands.
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Egypt_and_the_Sudan
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farouk_of_Egypt (See his title)
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan (Even the official name of the country is the Republic of the Sudan as written in the article)
Furthermore, the name with its article is already used throughout the article:
- By virtue of its proximity to Egypt, the Sudan participated in the wider history of the Near East inasmuch as it was Christianized by the 6th century, and Islamized in the 15th.
- Muhammad Ahmad led a successful military campaign against the Turco-Egyptian government of the Sudan.
- ....played an active part in responding to the early incursions (occupation by Italian troops of Kassala and other border areas) into the Sudan from Italian East Africa during 1940.
- The attention of NGOs shifted shortly after the war broke out in the western part of the Sudan known as Darfur.
- ....migrated into the Sudan in the 12th century, intermarried with the indigenous Nubian and other African populations.
But, still, I cannot say that the version without the article (grammar) is completely incorrect. It's just that historically it's been referred to as "the Sudan", but it's no big deal while the issue in the other article is way more serious because there is no alternative to the truth which is one. I am still waiting for your action, sir. The page shouldn't stay with its current version. All my efforts are simply gone in an unjust way, and my hands are tied for some reason and I abstain from reverting it to the final version although I am quite confident in what I did and I see nothing wrong in reverting without discussing things at least in this case, because one doesn't need to discuss fixing grammar and style, saving dead links, adding academic sources, etc. But I will wait for you reverting it and commenting on the report page that the IP user started. I repeat that I didn't remove anything, only removed at best (check it please). I even added more reliable sources, replacing the ones that redirects to webpages that were shut down years ago (and that have no archive). That's what I did. I am looking forward to hearing from you. I am ready to discuss any of my edits, any of them, if needed. But I'm not interested in discussing with that IP user.
Regards, Listofpeople (talk) 13:31, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments, and all your hard work trying to improve Wikipedia, but all that hard work can be undone in an instant when one starts to edit war. It doesn't matter who started it, and who is 'right'. I myself have been involved in a number of edit wars, some of which have become quite abusive. The key to not getting blocked or banned is to stop edit warring, even if you think you are right. As soon as you start going over 3 reverts, you risk your editing privileges. Your revert of mine put you at 4 reverts. Now, I don't have much patience for those who edit war, and I can assure you, neither do administrators, especially when one ignore warnings. The reason why I reverted your edits was that there was an edit war, and anyone who edit wars is not going to be getting in my good book. I don't like to rollback when there have been a number of edits, but when an edit war is involved, I prefer to start from the last good pre war state. A clean slate as you will. Now, as it stands, you are one or two edits away from getting blocked. My advice is to give it a rest for a couple of days. Then, start with a few dead links, typos etc. I doubt that anyone will revert those, and it will show your good faith. You can easily capture your previous edits, so don't think of it as all your work has been undone. Also, take it slow. There is no rush or deadline. I can see that you were trying to make good faith edits, but there will be times when there is a conflict. It is how you choose to resolve that conflict that will define you.
- Now, I read your comments on the Administrators' noticeboard and this is what I have to say. DO NOT assume. You stated that 'David.moreno72 reverted my edit just because of your misleading and unjust report'. NO, I reverted your edit because there was an edit war. I was on Huggle at the time and I had NOT read any 'report' up to then. When I compared the pre war version, I also saw that the flag had been removed so my revert will stay in effect. Now, I appreciate you coming to my talk page, and had you kept reverting, I would have filed a report myself. I don't agree with the report against you as it stands as I usually wait for an egregious and continuous edit war before filing, but as you stopped your editing to discuss the issue, I can see that you are genuinely wanting to resolve the issue. So, if you are not blocked this is what you do. Take a break. Do something else. Come back to the page in a couple of days so that your 24h 3RRR expires, and start afresh. But most of all, keep up the good work. David.moreno72 (talk) 14:00, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Dear David.moreno72, thank you for your comments. I have just found the opportunity to reply because I was indeed "blocked?" temporarily. I am currently discussing the issue on another talk page. Please read my honest opinion there. However, there is one thing I should write to you personally: As to why I stated on the noticeboard that "David.moreno72 reverted my edit just because of your [referring to the IP] misleading and unjust report.", I apologise for assuming that you did that after seeing the report. Now I see that you reverted my edit just because of the IP's misleading and unjust declaration of edit war. If I didn't know all the article backwards and wasn't aware of the creditibility of my edits, I would perhaps think that there was an edit war when looking from outside and without really checking each of the edits. Your opinion definitely means a lot to me since you are a user who dedicates his time on Wikipedia to deal with vandalism. Yet, I honestly believe that I'm the aggrieved party. I'm trying not to take it personally, but since it's about a subject that is part of my expertise and almost the single subject on which I make contributions on Wikipedia, I felt and feel very much upset because of what happened yesterday.
- Sincerely,
- Listofpeople (talk) 23:49, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Don't feel too bad about it. Mistakes happen. I know, I also make them all the time. It's how you react to them that defines a good editor. Wikipedia is always in need of good editors, so here is my advice. Have a read of this WP:DGAF WP:ATWV WP:BAIT WP:FAF. Also, don't be a single issue editor. Branch out. It's amazing what's out there. Perhaps go on vandalism patrol. You can do this by clicking on recent edits and randomly picking one. There is a good chance that it will be vandalism as it happens all the time. Revert the change with the comment 'possible vandalism'. Check out some of the 'drives', such as copy editing. By contributing to Wikipedia in other ways it shows that you have a can-do attitude that will be noticed, and will be taken into consideration when things do go wrong. You will get thanked for your contributions, as well as attacked. But most of all don't give up. David.moreno72 (talk) 04:09, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate your kind words. I will definitely read those suggested pages, and try to carry your other suggestions into effect. Though, It will be difficult for me to forgive and forget the fact I was unjustly blocked (I still can't believe I'm saying this as I would never guess I would be blocked one day on Wikipedia even if it's for 24 hours only) because of an alleged sockpuppet IP calling the issue "edit warring" out of his battleground instincts and accusing me of "vandalism" and "disruptive editing" on an article of my expertise while these two terms actually identify that IP's own actions.

I have a wild guess on why did you revert on Saiga antelope, but such reverts must be explained. Materialscientist (talk) 07:20, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Refusing to engage with people and treating them with respect - for example by censoring their messages. Nice.
Now, dave, you know as well as I do that that source is reliable. I am not advertising shit. Andropogenic allopecia is a condition that seriously affects millions of men worldwide. Perhaps you too are a sufferer? You are called dave so I assume you're a man. Mr Goode had an operation to alleviate his symptoms. that simple fact should be recorded.
- A link to a hair treatment centre is not a reliable source. It is spam. And i looked at it, and aside from corroborating that he had the treatment, it does not say that it 'rejuvenated' him, nor does it state that he retired for a second time. That is when a reliable source, such as a newspaper report should be cited as per WP:RS. I have been more than generous in giving you a chance to provide a reliable source but you insist on citing spam as your source. This is clearly unacceptable per WP:EL. If you continue not providing a reliable source that backs your claim, you will likely be blocked as you have already reverted more than 3 times per WP:3RR. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 10:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- OK. I see your point. I'll take out rejuvinated. The link isn't spam though - it's for a company dealing with a serious medical condition. GM's knee (talk) 12:53, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
- GM's knee, a company dealing with the condition is not a reliable source. Please see WP:RS for more information about what constitutes a reliable source. For David, I might suggest starting a talk page discussion in future? Chrisw80 (talk) 18:02, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

E.P. Thompson "Emphasize" Misspelling
Hi David,
Just wondering why the change I made to E.P. Thompson's page was reverted. The edit I made involved correcting the spelling of the word "emphasized," which was incorrectly spelled as "emphasised." Thank you
- I rolled back a heap of vandalism from your IP range. It was just easier to start from the last known good state. I suggest that you create an account in future. David.moreno72 (talk) 13:14, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Can we talk about Huggle?
I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re a highly active Huggle user (top 20, actually). The Wikimedia Collaboration Team is researching a project that we hope will be useful to people who use Huggle and others engaged in edit-review and anti-vandalism. Using artificial intelligence programming (in ORES) and other means, we believe we can create feeds of Recent Changes that are better tailored to the type of work you do, helping you to be more effective and efficient. (The technology will have other benefits as well, which we can talk about.)
We're in the early stages of planning this and want to speak with people like yourself to better understand your work, goals and issues. If you’re interested in helping, I’d like to set up a time to meet by video conference, so that you can explain and demonstrate (via screensharing) some of your workflows, and we can ask and answer any questions.
To participate, please email the following information to me, jmatazzoniwikimedia.org, or send it to designresearch

Copyvio images
If an image uploaded to Commons seems to be a copyvio, it's worth going over there and flagging it as such rather than just removing it from the Wikipedia article where it was added, so that the image doesn't hang around continuing to violate copyright. (I've gone ahead and flagged File:Adi-2-463x400.jpg.) --McGeddon (talk) 11:39, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Wow, my talk page is graced by a 100Ker, Congrats on your achievement. Yeah I normally tag the copy vio images and I was just getting around to it. There are just so many. I also see that Huggle left you a CSD message. Sorry about that. It's a rather annoying bug. Is there some way that a redundant redirect can be deleted? Anyway, with all your worthy contributions I'm surprised that you are not an admin. I suppose all good things come to those who wait. So, thanks for your comments. It's a nice change from being vandalised or harassed. David.moreno72 (talk) 11:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- I don't know how Huggle handles it, but there are certainly speedy criteria for redirects. I know Twinkle gets confused if an article is redirected from underneath it, though, and templates the redirecter - it's probably best to avoid leaving an article open too long before clicking the speedy buttons, on general principles.
- And thanks for the congratulations. No particular interest in becoming an admin here, though, I'm more at the WP:GNOME and antivandal end. --McGeddon (talk) 12:17, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

Glad someone is looking after the internet.

- If a company is notable someone without a conflict of interest will likely create an article on it. Here is some recommended reading WP:NOTADVERTISING and WP:ORG. David.moreno72 (talk) 16:15, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

This is kind of much descriminatory behaviour that is projected by not allowing to have a separate page fora University of Delhi college when most of the colleges do have their pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assefme (talk • contribs) 12:53, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
- The page that you created was a disaster from the beginning. Text was copy and pasted, image was copyrighted and the grammar was very poor. Might be better if someone with more competence wrote the page. Please see WP:COMPETENCE and WP:COPYPASTE. David.moreno72 (talk) 14:37, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
I removed the copyrighted content and was writing it all over again. Is there nothing called scope of improvement? The college is anyway notable and is worth being on wikipedia and just because of my bad grammar or say silly mistake which you could just point out and I could have mended. You denied the worth of it? and I believe you need to understand one thing that people living in Delhi would know more about the colleges in Delhi. And just because of a few wrong lines you are nobody to tag someone's competence. You were born with a certain language in your mouth does not make you capable of judging people. I have written good articles myself it's just I needed time to improve. Regard Dave — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assefme (talk • contribs) 11:49, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

- I'm all for new users who can constructively contribute to Wikipedia, but the competition does say The purpose of this initiative is to encourage the creation of new articles, within the strict respect of the rules set by Wikipedia (neutrality, production of reliable sources). Just because an article was created as part of a competition doesn't mean that unreferenced and poorly worded edits are exempted. Also, It wasn't me who was the first to revert on the article, but another experienced editor. The unreferenced and poorly worded material was then reinserted, in contravention of WP:STATUSQUO where it states if you make an edit which is good-faith reverted, do not simply reinstate your edit. If it was reinstated with appropriate copy editing and references, and fully compliant with Wikipedia policies, I would not have reverted. Perhaps a better approach might be to recreate the article as a draft so that it can be reviewed and appraised before being published. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 08:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

A Small Edit
Being the strange and somewhat obsessive chap I am, I just spent the last twenty minutes streamlining some of the more sparse articles relating to Ottoman emperors, only to see that you reverted my edit on Mahmud II. I'm rather confused as to why, because I did not vandalize the page, nor was my change based on original research. I simply noticed that the date beneath his head was different than the date at the top and bottom of the page, which also happens to be the date listed by Encylopedia Britannica.
If I did something wrong here, I apologize, but I would at least like to know what it was. Otherwise, I'm pretty certain to do it again, aren't I? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pointless Revenge (talk • contribs) 04:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for your comments. Yes, you are absolutely correct. Thanks for your attention to detail. Sorry about reverting your edit, it's just that a common form of vandalism is changing dates, and with the tool that I use (Huggle), the entire page is not displayed. Feel free to make the changes you see fit and I hope that you humbly accept my apology. Keep up the good work David.moreno72 (talk) 05:13, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Revert to Brand valuation article
Hi David.moreno72, You recently (13:17, 7 June 2016) reverted an anonymous edit to the Brand valuation article using Huggle. The edit you reverted doesn't look like vandalism, nor does it seem unconstructive. You may like to check whether the revert was justified. Best wishes, Frans Fowler (talk) 22:55, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- I double checked the edit and yes it's revert was justified. Adding a random sentence at the bottom of an article doesn't seem very constructive. If their intention was to add it to the list, I would have thought that since all the other list members have an asterisk in front of them that it should have been apparent that it is needed. If you think that it was a worthy addition to the list why not just add it yourself? Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 00:09, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
About the deletion Of Page Duhaar
I have been doing research on this topic and found credible source from my trip in India and I am going to add the linage to prove my work. But the wooden board it's written on is brittle and cracked, making it hard to get all the names; me and my team are trying to get all the names. So this will take some time , I would also be posting my interview with the members of the Duhra family , so please don't delete this page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avtar102 (talk • contribs) 15:47, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
- What you call a credible source and what Wikipedia considers a reliable source might be two different things. Although the work you are conducting might be worthy and reliable, it might be considered as original and perhaps self published, which means that it most likely shouldn't be used in Wikipedia. If you publish it as a book, and another editor considers it notable, then the creation of an article may be appropriate. In the meantime, may I suggest that you read WP:NOR and WP:VER. Hope that helps, and good luck with your research David.moreno72 (talk) 03:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, David! I added sources for my addition to Children's Day. I found the origin in a book by George Douglas while researching the day. I was more than confused by whoever but the origin being the 1920s within Wiki-Pedia. I did more research and found more references to Childrens Day being started in 1856. Even on the Wiki-Pedia page, much lower on the page, is reference to the day being started in 1856. Yet the first paragraph indicates the 1920s. So I checked that reference and found the link to be invalid. So I checked beyond that and found online reference to 1925, but realized by otehr reference on the Wiki-Pedia page, there was no real reason for the '25 reference to be there at all. Especially, as you pointed out, that information had no source.
I'd like to add the book I initially discovered the information but don't know how. This is my first real edit to Wiki-Pedia, that I know of. I tried to add the book, but, apparently, that did not work. Can you help?
Looks like I may not be doing this correctly, either. Sorry! RobSmithJr (talk) 20:30, 12 June 2016 (UTC) Rob Smith, Jr. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RobSmithJr (talk • contribs) 20:25, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks for your help in this issue. I had sent numerous warnings to their talk page and, yes, unfortunately they ignored them. There was also a discussion on the talk page which was ignored also.

Edits to Wikipedia Page of Rajeeve Kumar Varshney
Hello David.moreno72, may I ask why you reverted my revisions to the page "Rajeev Kuamr Varshney"? I wanted to make it more concise and updated, please let me know which part of the page/edits you feel are not "Nonconstructive editing", so that I can make it correct. Thanks NileshMnilesh (talk) 10:02, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Mnilesh for taking the time to ask me on my talk page. There are two main issues with your edits. The first is that you are adding large sections of text without citing a reliable source, and so the truthfulness cannot be established per WP:V. Provide inline links to reliable sources. The next issue is to write from a neutral point of view, without puffery per WP:NPOV. I'm sure that Varshney is a very accomplished and talented individual, but the language used when making edits must state the facts only. It already has a tag of 'This biographical article is written like a résumé.', The article's references are almost entirely links to scientific papers, with the only biographical entry being this http://naasindia.org/fdetail.html#V006. If any facts are not on this link, then they need a reliable source. Also, take note of how the bio on that link is written in a neutral fashion. If your edits can emulate that then I'm sure that they will be accepted. Hope that helps and if you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 14:07, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks User:David.moreno72 for your feedback. I am trying to improve/update the wikipedia page of Dr Rajeev Kumar Varshney and in this process I want to make those changes. As per your suggestions I will start again with the small change at a time and with proper citations and sources for the information provide, I hope that works. Kindly confirm if I can go ahead with this. I await for your reponse. Thanks Mnilesh

I have removed your BLP prod from Dominic Angerame, as it should not have been placed there. The WP:BLPPROD guidelines state that it's for cases where there are no references of any sort, including external links, that support the content. There were external links in the body of the article that verified the material. There are plenty of reasons why this article might be considered for deletion (and indeed, articles of the same name have been deleted repeatedly), but it doesn't qualify for BLP prod treatment. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:09, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi David.moreno72! Thanks for reverting that edit on Distributism! Much appreciated! You forgot to warn the user, though. No worries; I got your back ;-)... I went ahead and left one for you.

- Thanks User:Oshwah. I was just wondering how fast your internet connection is? I'm only on a ADSL1 at 1.5Mbit. The reason why I'm asking is that you are always beating me at Huggle ;-) In regards to warning, I usually start to give warnings to multiple instances. In this case it was their first edit, so I try not to start biting too soon. Anyway keep up the good work!! David.moreno72 (talk) 03:03, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, my friend! I got your back ;-)! I live in the United States, and I have quite a fast internet connection. If you use Huggle and want to become more proficient at it, my advice to you is to learn the hotkeys! However, use caution! The hotkeys will (even more easily) let you fly very fast, and allow you to blindly revert changes without looking. Don't fall into that trap :-). Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to chat with you! I hope you have a great evening, and I wish you happy editing. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:36, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Cowdray House to Cowdray Ruins
Hi there, may I ask why you "reverted" my changes to the Cowdray House page? I work for the Cowdray Estate and the facts on the Cowdray House page are incorrect hence me updating them to state Cowdray Ruins. I would appreciate knowing why you have changed them back? Thank you Cowdray Estate (talk) 12:57, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Cowdray Estate. First, your username may violate Wikipedia's username policy. Second, the page name is titled 'Cowdray House' and so needs to be in the first sentence. And third, you are changing the names of images and breaking them. If you have an issue with any 'facts', may I suggest that you first take the time to read up on Wikipedia's policies and then take it to the article talk page. Thank you David.moreno72 (talk) 13:34, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
The section "Nuclear Medicine Service..." should be removed. I think this case of "whistleblowing" should not come here and should be deleted. The only thing is that it has filed a complaint to the Nuclear Security Service, but this did not put any sanction. The link to the newspaper says there was also a complaint to the court but it ended in acquittal. In short, they did not put any sanction. Wikipedia is not a primary source, so Wikipedia can not include on their own the view that any sanction should have been made.B2ubried (talk) 12:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey David.moreno72! Thanks for tagging that article for G11. I noticed that you're running version 3.1.19 of Huggle. Just giving you a heads up that version 3.1.21 is the latest version; you can download it here. I hope you have a good day, and I wish you happy editing :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:09, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

- Oh really? Your Mac OS can't run 3.1.20 (is it Mavericks)? That's interesting... I use Mavericks on one Mac and El Capitan on the other. I don't have Huggle on the Mavericks one though... I don't blame you for not upgrading the OS. Depending on what you use your Mac for, upgrading the OS will either be no big deal, or it'll be a nightmare. I do software development, and after watching what upgrading the OS on my El Capitan Mac did to my bash space, paths, repositories, and libraries (Brew programs, etc.) - the OS on the Mavericks one isn't going anywhere - screw that noise! That took a week to fully fix. Anyways, I hope you keep up the good work.

Please tell me what's wrong with my edits such that you revert them all here. Note you restoring items like
- the founder = Juha Koski & Daniel Rovira & Madhur Srivastava, this two people are cheating poor people
Which is pretty obviously problematic, yet you believe it should remain in the article?
Where I add
- In a more recent example, for a circa £600 laptop, MadBid could have received around £14,000 in bids assuming the cost of bids was equal for all participants. <ref name="theguardian.com"/>

References for Atif Tauqeer (poet, author)
Hi David!
I recently created a page with the title mentioned in the subject/headline. The objection against the article was that there were no references. Although I personally know the gentleman who is the subject of the article, and most of the information was obtained through personal communication, I do understand the need to provide at least some references which would be able to back up the information shared.
I have attempted to do exactly that and have provided some references to websites, articles and pages. I would be grateful if you could kindly take a look and allow for the article to stay.
Also, if you could kindly guide me regarding uploading photographs I would be obliged. SBGillani (talk) 09:22, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi SBGillani. I had a look at your references and unfortunately they do not comply with Wikipedia policy, per WP:RSSELF. May I suggest that you read WP:RS and WP:GNG to familiarise yourself with what constitutes a reliable source and notability. Without reliable sources I doubt very much that the article will remain, and even if provided, the subject needs to meet basic notability requirements. Hope that helps. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 11:50, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello again! David could you kindly check now? I've added another reference. Atif is a well known Pakistani poet with published books. He gets invited to international gatherings to recite his poetry and currently lives and works in Germany. SBGillani (talk) 05:49, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi SBGillani. I checked your reference and unfortunately they do not support the preceding claims. It doesn't have his date of birth, his place of birth, that he is a 'disciple of the famous Urdu poet Jaun Elia' or that he is 'one of the most well-known young Pakistani poets today'. Either amend the preceding text or remove the reference. If you don't, i will revert. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 06:38, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Thank you David, I have edited the text and have provided references to two of his own published books (1999 and 2006) in which he has himself written about his date of birth and his life in the introduction section. He also has a poem dedicated to his teacher and mentor, Jaun Elia, but since it is not stated explicitly in the poem that he is a disciple of Jaun Elia, I have removed that bit from the article as it cannot be verified.
I'm extremely grateful for your patience and your guidance! SBGillani (talk) 10:49, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
Plagiarism
An editor continues to replace plagiarized sections into the article Ricky Nelson. I have undone twice and have notified the editor on his talk page (I pinged you). Much of the article seems to be plagiarized from the book, "The Mythology of Dance". Even though an other reference is used. What to do? ...without getting into an edit-war.

- I will give you a hand so you don't 3RR, but if he does not mend his ways I will report him. Cheers. David.moreno72 (talk) 13:48, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Well. His ways remain un-mended. We tried to warn him. Now, we need to report him!Buster Seven Talk 17:10, 11 July 2016 (UTC)- Never mind. He undid his own work. Buster Seven Talk 17:14, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
User Ashish2016khandelwal
Hi, I assume this is the user previously using the name "Silver oaks International School Bangalore". The latter username was blocked for violating our username policy, but the user was not banned, that's something very different. They are free to edit under a different username. This is not so say that I disagree with your reversals of the edits of Ashish2016khandelwal (it all looks kind of spammy), but your edit summaries are incorrect. Difficult to get all these things straight, I know... :-) Happy editing! --Randykitty (talk) 11:47, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Randykitty, per WP:EVASION, 'Anyone is free to revert any edits made in violation of a block, without giving any further reason', and the person is blocked. Creating another account to evade a block is sock puppetry, and per WP:SOCK 'Circumventing policies or sanctions: Policies apply per person, not per account.'. You are technically right through in that the edit summary should say block evasion, and I thank you for alerting me to this. Keep up the good work. David.moreno72 (talk) 12:06, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
- Accounts that are blocked for a username violation are specifically instructed to choose a non-promotional username if they want to continue editing, so EVASION/SOCK does not apply here. This is not the same thing as someone being blocked for, say, disruptive editing, and then creating another account to continue the disruption. --Randykitty (talk) 13:48, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Per WP:DABMENTION and MOS:DABRED, red links are permissible in disambiguation pages if the line also contains a blue link to an article mentioning the redlinked subject. Cheers! bd2412 T 00:43, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

- Hi Thelaststory99. You may notice at the bottom of the pages that you are copying from it says 'All rights reserved Tafila Technical University © 2016'. While that notice remains in place, you cannot plagiarise the material. If you want your edits to remain in place, do not copy and paste. Use your own words. If I take a portion of the text that you write and Google it, it should not come back to the University website. Thank-you David.moreno72 (talk) 10:37, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
