Could you please weigh in at this post I started? Some editor reverted all of my changes and sweepingly dismissed them as vandalism. Dan56 (talk) 21:59, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NP, dropped in and provided a response. You should probably discuss it with the editor that reverted your edits as well on their talk page. K6ka (talk | contrib) 22:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've just been looking at the Nino Firetto page and am wondering what happened to the large sections removed by Ninoradio? Given that the user who did it is the subject of the page, isn't this a violation of policy? I don't see anything wrong/irrelevant with the content which was removed, other than it being potentially embarassing to Mr Firetto. Simon.guerrero (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking the entire page is not acceptable in Wikipedia's policies either, as it will confuse readers. If the article is about yourself, consult WP:BIOSELF and solve the issue through discussion, not by blanking. Remember, you don't own an article, even if it's about yourself. K6ka (talk | contrib) 14:55, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The pageant cannot merger together because the 1st edition and current edition is different. For example Venue, Presenter, tv, date of final etc. But BabbaQ just did without any discussions — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lemontee33 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

But don't you think blanking the whole page would confuse readers? K6ka (talk | contrib) 22:16, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lemontee, please check your talk page and edit only when consensus is reached. K6ka (talk | contrib) 22:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that all of my edits are being ignored, but I don't know why. Can you help me understand? Core-Mark has been around since 1888 and Fleming owned us for less than 9 months back in 2002. We need to update our profile to reflect a more accurate and current status. Can you help me figure out how to do that? Much appreciated, Milton Draper Director of IR for Core-Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.159.95.215 (talk) 22:17, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to write about the company today, you should create a new section for that, instead of replacing the content in "History". Remember to cite your sources, and do not make it promotional - Wikipedia is not for promotional material or advertising. Also, read WP:ISNOT for a full list of what NOT to put in an article. Be sure to write in a neutral point of view. And lastly, you might want to see WP:LOP for a list of our policies and guidelines. If you need any more help, feel free to place {{helpme}} on your talk page, or pay a visit to the Teahouse and ask your question there. K6ka (talk | contrib) 22:23, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

From your comment you feel that my edit was not use full! I respectfully totally disagree. Where and how it came about for an artist to preform after 50 years is important. Maurice Coja PS I am at a loss on all your sign this way etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.114.147.26 (talk) 23:31, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please leave your message on this page, not my edit notice page. I reverted your edit because you did not cite any sources. You left dangling "ref" tags (e.g. <ref></ref>), so I took it to mean an editing test. Please read WP:CITE on how to cite your sources, and use the sandbox to experiment. Also, at the end of every comment you make on a talk page you should add four tildes (~~~~) - that will produce your signature. Thanks. K6ka (talk | contrib) 14:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your restoration of the page because it was the page author who blanked it....William 14:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that was what Huggle told me. Should've used "Removal of AfD" template instead, which is why I reverted his/her edit. K6ka (talk | contrib) 14:26, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Cheers!...William 14:45, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I'm SietsLim

The most important remark of my revision to the Seal of Phitsanulok is:

Footnote 2 is linked to THAILEX/etc. This means an advertisement for dating, massage, etc.

Not a link to: coat of arms (this not excist) and not a postal stamp.

I liked to see this footnote disappeared.

For five years living in the city of Phitsanulok as a Dutch pensionado.

Thai speak of the temple simply as "Wat Yai" this means "Large Temple".

But the real name is: "Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Voramahaviha" and nobody speaks of "Wat Mahathat".

I hope this will explains why I made the revision.

--SietsLim (talk) 14:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide a citation for that, as we cannot accept original research. The main reason why I reverted your edit is because you added your signature to the article. Signatures (~~~~) are only used for talk pages like this one, not in the main article namespace. K6ka (talk | contrib) 17:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your recent edit to Kalamazoo College appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person or organization added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you. John from Idegon (talk) 21:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I tried to change the page because according to the brazilian wikipedia page (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Penna) and him interview with Rafinha Bastos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocDV5r5Vx3o you can listen he telling him full name at 24 seconds of video) him real name is "Jônatas de Moura Penna". I think it's good to put this name as an information, not even in the name section, but at least as an additional information. Thank you for reading this message, and sorry if it contains gramatical errors, i'm from Brazil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.99.156.207 (talk) 01:41, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I will assume that "Joe Penna" is the English translation for "Jônatas de Moura Penna". Since I am completely useless at Spanish (and Google Translate isn't exactly something you 100% trust either), I think I'll leave it at what it currently is. You may want to ask on the article's talk page before re-adding. K6ka (talk | contrib) 02:11, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Angry Video Game Nerd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Doug Walker (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hey there, I see you have recently been making reverts using Huggle. I'm confused, I have two machines here with stable internet connection and the IRC feeds on Huggle are turning up nothing. E.g. there are no edits showing up to monitor. I take it your feed is still populating with recent edits? — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:07, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't connect to the IRC feed either. Huggle automatically used the slower API queries instead. K6ka (talk | contrib) 18:08, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see. How might I instruct Huggle to use the API? Mine apparently did not do so automatically. Thanks! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:11, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only way I know of to force Huggle to use the API queries is to use it with a crappy Internet connection. My school has god-awful WiFi, so when I open up Huggle on my laptop in class (Yes, I dare do that!), it always connects me to the API. There's no real way to force it to use API, and you can't force it to use IRC. K6ka (talk | contrib) 18:15, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. System > Options > uncheck "Use IRC feed for recent changes if possible". Thanks! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:36, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

<Excuse me, i would really appreciate it if you would please stop reverting the wild 9 entry page, it took me hours to write out and i'd really appreciate it if you left it alone, i mean its only respectful, have a little courtesy, i tried to make the entry better for those who actually are intrested in reading CORRECT info, so please i ask again, have some respect please -Axel455> — Preceding unsigned comment added by Axel455 (talk • contribs) 18:30, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relax. Your edit is still there - your hard work isn't erased from the Internet. Each page has a page history where all previous revisions are stored, and restoring one is very simple. I reverted your edit because it had "(ALL INFO WAS TAKEN FROM THE OFFICIAL WILD 9 PLAY BOOK AND IS 100% CORRECT)". Instead of doing that, you should cite your sources. Also, make sure it was written in an encyclopedic format. Peruse WP:LOP (with a mug of coffee and a bar of chocolate), and feel free to ask any questions you may have at the Teahouse to get some editing tips.

Alright. I reverted your edit because it contained hateful or offensive material and removed a large portion of content. It also failed to maintain a neutral point of view. K6ka (talk | contrib) 23:34, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you flagged something of mine for deletion. Can you teach me how I can flag stuff for deletion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nascarman1 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have no authority over me and if you threaten to ban me again i will tell the administrator. I have equal power as you and I am trying to be nice here but I don't appreciate you acting like your the boss. So can you please worry about your own articles and let me worry about mine ----NascarMan1

Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. No editor can simply "Worry about their own articles and not other people" because articles don't belong to the creator. You don't own an article, not even your userpage. Everything submitted on Wikipedia is free for anyone else to edit. Also, I was not acting like a "boss". The warning messages you saw were automatically generated. I tagged your article for deletion and reverted your edits because they did not meet up with Wikipedia's policies. You are welcome to report me to the admins (who am I to stop you?), but you should have a good reason handy before reporting. K6ka (talk | contrib) 17:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I frankly doubt it. Firstly, there was no source to back it up. Second, schools do not acknowledge the "sexiest man on campus", because that's ridiculous. K6ka (talk | contrib) 03:08, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipelli ^Talk 18:18, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've undone my edit in the article on pramface.

I'd say my edit was mischevious rather than vandalistic.

Nontheless the article concerned said "The term "pramface" is British slang for a young/unwed mother. It derives from "pram", a perambulator (baby carriage/stroller)." but cited no source for this.

As a native speaker of British English I have never heard this phrase used in any context other than that of the TV series.

I've therefore re-edited the article and simply removed the line which I believe to be mere nonsense.

I hope this meets with your approval — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.20.190 (talk) 20:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's a much better approach. Next time though, you should explain why you are removing the info in the edit summary by typing in "removing unsourced additions". If it's unsourced, remove it, don't say "This isn't true." You can also add {{fact}} next to the unsourced statement. If the unsourced statement is on an article about a living person, remove it, don't tag it. WP:CITE, WP:BLP, and WP:V are quite useful in this case.
