Bison

[edit]

I will not nitpick details any more, but I am going to say only this.

I should not have replaced bison with bisons, as "bison" is an accepted plural word for bison and I have only seen this recently.

Bison and bisons are both correct and this is confirmed in several dictionaries.

Response

[edit]

In response to the message you left on my talk page, I respectfully disagree. It is more important to avoid providing obviously incorrect information / misinformation, than it is to follow some "policy" on providing so-called references, which may, or may not, be scientifically correct, depending upon the age of the material in question. Therefore, I regard the failure to obtain consensus or to state a valid objective FACT that may support contradictory to my edit to be outright vandalism, where the challenger fails to obtain consensus. Especially, where the revisionist was clearly attempting to elicit a negative response. Mind you, this is my interpretation of policy, where policy appears to contradict itself at best, in my opinion.So, again, I reiterate the fact that I respectfully disagree with everything you have to say on the topic. That said, it is still clearly WRONGFUL to modify other people's edits without at least having brought any issues to their attention FIRST. (Thats called having basic RESPECT for others!) Therefore, this guy was clearly in the wrong, either way you want to look at it. 108.201.29.108 (talk) 01:37, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was simply advising you on how to avoid being blocked. By all means, ignore my advice. Tiderolls 14:01, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Æ-202. The most recent edits I saw didn't appear to be vandalism. That's mostly due to my inexperience with the subject matter. Has there been a long term effort to change the information in the article against consensus? Could you direct me to where the consensus was determined? There could be a case made for disruption if there has been a long term problem. Thanks for helping watch over the article; I'd be glad to help out where I'm able. Just get the info to me that shows the disruption. Tiderolls 13:56, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw this edit and felt it was a stellar explanation and was very encouraging. It's everything Wikipedia should be, and often isn't.

I'm trying to undo vandalism from IP address user[2] who gives no source links in order to prove the changes they've he/she made, but user Ifnord[3] is putting the vandalism back on the page without providing proof either.108.82.12.132 (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The editor in your message is not reinstating vandalism. Please see WP:NOTVAND. Additionally, you are edit warring and employing juvenile edit summaries.

Wrong User

[edit]

Hi there--I've never seen this page about bicycles let alone edited it, yet I have a note telling me my edit was reverted. I have a login, and no one has ever used this computer IP address except me, ever.

How could this happen? The edit also looks homophobic; I don't want to be associated with it.

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Syelle (talkcontribs) 02:59, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Syelle: One of the advantages of registering an account is that your IP address is, for the most part, known only to you. Hopefully that will alleviate any worry regarding being associated with the edit in question. I can't help explain how the edit occurred; further, I believe that to pursue the matter would mean revealing personal information that would be best avoided. If my post is unclear or you'd like further discussion please let me know. Thanks Tiderolls 13:33, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information on flags Koppen climate classification

[edit]

Appreciate your explanation. You gave a much better explanation than the other editor for why we should not use flags in the climate article. His or her best explanation for why we should not use flags...it's too much clutter. So he/she unilaterally decided to undo about an hour's worth of work because he/she felt it was too "cluttered". That looks and sounds like vandalism. G. Capo (talk) 14:52, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, @G. Capo:. If you check WP:VAND you'll see a definition of: ..editing (or other behavior) deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose. Edits may be frustrating in their result, or even incorrect, and still not be vandalism. I apologize for harping. My aim is to provide sufficient information to help you understand.

Mad Max video game

[edit]

User DasallmächtigeJ[6] is stating the on Mad Max video game page that's it's both a prequel and a sequel to Fury Road[7], however the source links on the page don't support that claim.

  • "A Mad Max game is coming, but it's not going to be related to any of the movies, because of Avalanche's radical position that movie tie-ins are pretty terrible."
  • "A Mad Max game is in development, but don't call it a movie tie-in. Developer Avalanche Studios is making it clear that their upcoming game, based on the long-standing franchise, is not tied to any of the films, particularly the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road."[8]
  • "The studio is very clear that this game is in no way associated with the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road movie starring Tom Hardy, that it is very much an original, standalone story, set in a standalone world."[9]

The official comic book doesn't show the events of the video game[10] and the Mad Max wiki doesn't use the events of the game on the character's page, "Do not put information from the video game. It is not canon.".[11]

DasallmächtigeJ is not only putting in his opinions on the page but links to opinions from people who didn't work on the game and had nothing to do with it.108.208.136.214 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:08, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I expanded the article with several sources on how the film and the game are connected. The user appears to be some sort of errate fan, his only excuse for removing my content is that it a.) doens't appear in a comic book (because obviously you put out a comic book with the exact same content as a game and of course they can't have two separate stories) and his assertion that b.) because the developers stated that it is not a frame-by-frame reproduction of the movie it of course cannot be a prequel. I tried to reason with him, but he simply reverted the edit and cleaned his talk page. I actually don't like doing this, but I will have to report him now and suggest to protect the page.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 14:25, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • User DasallmächtigeJ is still not providing any real proof from the studio, the developer or from George Miller himself that would backup his claim that's it's connected to the film. The video game's story doesn't even fit Fury Road or any past Mad Max film. Mad had a baby boy, not a preteen girl, Glory in the game isn't the same from the movie and comic book (written by Miller). Max meets her and her mother differently, the car he has at the end of the game is not the same as the one seen at the beginning of Fury Rad. Like I said, user DasallmächtigeJ is just using a review's opinion and speculation, that's not how wikipedia articles work. The way he's editing the page, it doesn't make any sense, it's not connected the film... and yet... it somewhat is...108.208.136.214 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking advice on possible socking(?) at Battle of Ia Drang

[edit]

Hi. Last year you blocked User:Dino nam for edit warring. That I know of, this user was involved in a protracted dispute over at Battle of Ia Drang with User:Tnguyen4321. That user is now subject to a restriction on editing the article. Since October last year, new user Special:Contributions/Day_to_day has been sporadically editing the article with what looks to me like the same agenda as Dino nam. Day to day has only ever edited this article. I don't actually necessarily disagree with this person's edits, but if he is a sock of banned user Dino nam, then in all fairness they should not be allowed to stand. I don't know how to go about confirming these suspicions. Could you advise what I should do, please? Thanks. Factotem (talk) 17:25, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Factotem, thanks for your message. I agree that the circumstances are suspicious but I have not seen enough behavioral similarities to convince myself of the possibility that the two accounts are operated by the same individual. I also agree that Tnguyen4321 should not be penalized by their commitment to stay away from the article. I would offer this option: gather some diffs that demonstrate your concern and file a report at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. The procedure is relatively easy to execute. That way you will be able to obtain more input. Thanks for the help with the article; don't worry, it's still on my watchlist. Tiderolls 18:31, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to get off topic here, but I want to be honest, so please believe me when I say that I'm not here to cause any trouble or get into an edit war with anyone. I came here to someone like you to let you know about this, I have no control over what IP address I get, I'm at the mercy of AT&T's DSL connection and anybody who owns this thing knows that it sucks.[20] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.208.137.111 (talk) 22:38, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really see vandalism; you'll have to pardon my ignorance but what I'm seeing is a content dispute. Tbe other editor's changes may be disruptive and/or incorrect but due to my lack of knowledge I can't call tbe changes vandalism. My advice would be to contact other editors on whatever Wiki project talk page that applies and make your case tbere. What you've described is complicated and best addressed by tbose familiar with tbe subject. As for the issue of dynamic IP addresses; register an account. Thanks for taking the time to post here.

What is wrong with you?

[edit]

I posted a discography that I copied in its entirety from the Italian wiki page...which I carefully cleaned up and translated into English. So, congrats on improving this pathetic page for Rise Stevens? No, of course not. Instead some fool editor shows up and decides to randomly delete parts of it, no explanation given other than "unsourced" (as if I have to prove to his perfect satisfaction - it's always a he - that every one of these widely known recordings actually exist). No discussion, certainly no investigation of the actual facts on his part, just vandalism to prove he has the power to delete whatever the heck he wants.

And you show up once I restore it and declare, absent any evidence, that I am a sockpuppet - rather than the obvious fucking explanation that my ISP assigns new IPs every time I log on.

Is there an ounce of sense in any of you puffed up Wikipedia editors? Any sense at all in there? Yikes, every time I deal with one of you types I decide I must be the fool for thinking that any of you can actually be reasoned with.

I realize I'm being trolled but on the off chance you really do give a damn, go to the article talk page and attempt to discover what the consensus for your changes may be. Tiderolls 19:32, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no discussion, neither initiated by you nor by the fool who deleted my posting, nor by an earlier fool who waded in a week or two ago (using a bot) and deleted my additions arbitrarily. It's just one self-important editor after another deleting stuff which is either borrowed in its fucking entirety from another language version of wikipedia, or basic consensus among people who know anything about the opera singer.

And wtf constitutes "trolling", apart from the fact that I have rightly criticized your arrogant assertion of power? Do trolls improve wikipedia pages by adding needed fucking content? Jesus H. Christ you people are pathetic.

@Ggrbsn: Hi, George. I addressed this issue on your user talk page (found here) with this edit. Basically, you are advised not to edit the article directly.

Clarity

[edit]

Hello, Tiderolls! I would like to apologize to you and the wikipedia community in advance for not providing you with an explanation as to why I removed the text that you had highlighted. The reason being is that the underline portion that was deleted did not sufficiently match the definition of a nuclear family, which is definitively considered to be a two parent household, composed of a man and a woman, with children. What was previously there was a misconstrued, minsinterpreted version of the term that doesn't match with the definition that I provided above and is considered to be the correct definition. I apologize for the inconvenience that this brought upon you, and I hope that this had given you clarity to the subject matter. Along with this, I'd like to thank you for keeping me on track because I acknowledge that not providing a reason for editing was very negligent of me. I will take your advice for the future when I edit (add or remove) content from the website.

[edit]
Happy Christmas!
Hello Tide rolls,
Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that

Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?"

My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019. MarnetteD|Talk 22:46, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Exercise restraint"

[edit]

I appreciate your efforts at achieving excellence at Wikipedia, but your admonishment to me that I should "exercise restraint" in my summaries is off base and unnecessary.

In summarizing my edits, I would rather err on the side of diligence than negligence as instructed by Wikipedia. I don't assume people have prior knowledge in understanding my edits so I make an effort to be clear, also as instructed by Wikipedia. In writing edit summaries, I am aware that some of the people who might read my summaries are either quite tied to the subject and sensitive to edits or beginners who are learning how and why edits are made.

Wikipedia encourages editors to be thorough in their summaries, recommending restraint only as it pertains to not "...writing essays about 'the truth' or longwinding arguments with fellow editors."

Finally, in the scheme of things, how do my thorough summaries possibly impact you or other Wikipedia editors? Surely, there are far more important ways to spend your time, energy and skill to improve Wikipedia.

Best wishes in your continued contributions to Wikipedia.MarydaleEd (talk) 00:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

My comments are correct and it is counterproductive to revert the talk page to the previous revision. When incorrect material is the subject of lengthy discussion that is five years old, it is an impediment to readers. No one will bother to sort through all the text that I deleted, nor should they have to. I see from the talk page guidelines that there is an acceptable way to clean up pages so I will look into that. THX.

hello, could you please specifically tell which part of my edit is out of MoS and out of guideline version? I was very careful to make wholesale reversions. It took me sometime to get that info with authentic sources and insert it in Elections in India. My objective was to make that page one place for all Lok sabha and Vidhan sabha elections more interactive (the insertion of maps & tables) and easy to consume for readers.

So please quote the specific guidelines which i violated. thanks--Shoonyea (talk) 21:39, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)

[edit]

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tide Rolls, you have issued me with a number of warnings. I am completely confused as to why.

What copyrighted content am I supposed to have infringed on?

WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTPROMO rollback on StarHub TV wiki page.

[edit]

Hi Tide, from my understanding, you have rollback my edit along with others in The StarHub TV page. May I know the exact reason why? I get that the removal of the channels from that page would easily fall under the WP:NOTDIR, but I don’t entirely get the reasoning behind the removal of the entire set top boxes models section and the smart card part. I understand that for the set top box model, the pricing part could be considerable as WP:NOTPROMO, but I feel that the other parts of the set top box section and the smart card part would bring encyclopedic info directly related to how StarHub TV works, similar to, but not exactly, like, for example, Mac Mini page, where information about the tech specs of each model is listed clearly. I would like to hear your opinions, as, me as relatively newly active member could be wrong in my version of understanding how wikipedia pages should contain info. --Vincentneo (talk) 17:12, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bidhan Singh socks

[edit]

Hi Tide Rolls - I see you have recently been following some of the Bidhan Singh socks, and you semi-protected Indian order of precedence earlier today.
As can be seen at User:Arjayay/B S, the sock only very rarely uses the same IP for more than 24 hours, and has never gone back to an earlier IP, making blocking the IPs pointless, whilst their ranges seem too large for range-blocks?
I have previously asked for several pages to be protected: the first four were protected, for a month, but I requested protection of their replacement pages too soon, and was told there had not been enough disruption.
I wonder if you are willing to semi all the recent targets that are not currently protected? These are:-

Of course, the problem with protecting the articles is that he will just choose new targets, making it more difficult to clean up after him - any thoughts? - Arjayay (talk) 16:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Arjayay:, of course I will take a look at these. At the very least I will add them to my watch list. If the individual chooses to move to other articles someone will notice and we'll pick up the pieces then. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Tiderolls 17:34, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for blocking todays Bidhan Singh IP at List of state leaders in 2017. As you may know, I try to log all the IPs used at User:Arjayay/B S
The range of IPs being used has recently reduced possibly as a result of Covid 19. I put the latest set of 106.207.**.*** IPs (listed on the edit page in hidden text) into a range-calc tool and it returned

IPv4 Range: 106.207.0.0/17
Size: 32768

Custom signature fix needed

[edit]

Hi there! You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your signature contains a syntax error, specifically formatting tags that are in the wrong order.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box.
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Change the signature as shown below, or make other edits to make the signature appear how you want it to appear.
  3. Click Save to update to your newly fixed signature.

Current signature:
[[User:Tide rolls|'''<span style="color:White;background:darkRed">Tide</span>''']][[User talk:Tide rolls|'''<span style="color:darkRed">rolls'''</span>]]

Fixed signature:
[[User:Tide rolls|'''<span style="color:White;background:darkRed">Tide</span>''']][[User talk:Tide rolls|'''<span style="color:darkRed">rolls</span>''']]

More information is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:01, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear,

I read your message. Thank you very much. I am really frustrated with decision of Admins that judged me unfairly. I really want appreciate your good will to help me, but I know that nothing is going revert my ban decision. I am very emotional person and you can't believe that decision here affected me in real life. Last two days I am aggressive because injustice I faced, specially non of admins even didn't read my defence and comment on it. Hence, I decided to continue do things that don't not frustrates me, the start is just to vanish my account from wikipedia in order never come back.Mirhasanov (talk) 18:27, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mirhasanov: But you are not being judged, your actions are being judged. Plainly, we do not know you. All we have to go on is your actions here. When one violates a topic ban there are a few different possibilities. The easiest to overcome is misunderstanding the terms. If the problem is misunderstanding the cure is to listen to those who know. If one persists in forging ahead in the face of advice that will surely help, then how are we to assist? The decision to stay or go is entirely yours but I submit that your leaving actually helps nothing. Taking the advice of editors that have experience, learning to operate within Wikipedia's policies and guidelines is the way forward. Good luck in whatever choice you make. Tiderolls 18:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are really emotionally intelligent person. I am very glad to see admin like you who tries to understand other side. I tried to defence my actions in ANI and AN. I spend my 1 day to proof Admins that I am not interested to disturb the topic. I even explained them that I don't have capability to issue a good article, all I can do is fact checking and making sure that references are proper, which I tried to do. However, in the end I was reported by people who I challenge and eventually got blocked. Admins even didn't explained me which rule I did break. The admin who blocked me first time stated that I don't cross any redline but, somehow again the decision is to block me. I could at least have warning by admin about my action, which would motivate me going back to him and asking his help to make sure I don't act aggressive, destructive or partisan. However, none of this happened even during independent review of my case. I felt no one cares what I write to defend myself. Instead I received below provocative comment that really hurted my believe to admin board.

No. My question was clear and concise, and your obfuscatory answer I take as being, essentially, a "No". Therefore, I stand by my endorsement of an AA2 topic ban, and the block that has been imposed on you, and would also support an indef block or a site ban. I don't think we need or want you here, you should be posting to some ultra-partisan anti-Armenian blog. Beyond My Ken (talk)

In conclusion I again asked them to explain which Wikipedia rule I went again to receive block. I asked them to show evidences like I did to defend myself but, I received only silence. However, when I raised case against user who really violates wikipedia rules, I started get bombarded by admins, which before preferred not to answer me.

I hope I was able to explain my frustration. Thank you really very much for listening me. Now I feel better. Mirhasanov (talk) 18:56, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
