January 2016

Hello, I'm IronGargoyle. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to History— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. IronGargoyle (talk) 19:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making nonconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at History with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 19:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Most Viewed Porn Videos of All Time, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charlie and Hillary Scott. 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.

Proposed deletion of Multiyear ranking of most viewed Wikipedia pages

The article Multiyear ranking of most viewed Wikipedia pages has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't belong here. Belongs in Wikipedia space or on Meta along with all the other stat pages.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

In defense of Multiyear ranking of most viewed Wikipedia pages

Hello

The page is a notable superlative—a popular topic on Wikipedia. Category:Lists of Superlatives has hundreds of pages. Many more superlative pages are excludedin the Category, like all-time leaders in various leagues in sport. Wikipedia accepts superlatives like List of most viewed YouTube videos and List of most viewed Vevo videos; why should it delete its own most viewed pages?

Moreover, Wikipedia has pages of precisely the same kind:

User:West.andrew.g/Popular pages

Wikipedia:Most popular pages October 2001

Wikipedia:Popular pages 2003: Oct.

Wikipedia:Popular pages 2004: Mar. through Sep.

Wikipedia:Popular pages 2008: May

Wikipedia:Zeitgeist 2008-2013

Wikipedia:Most read articles in 2008

Wikipedia:Most read articles in 2009

Wikipedia:Most read articles in 2010

Besides statistics, these pages demonstrate human interests. The above-mentioned top-lists show views for short periods, indicating current interests; the present top-list shows views for much longer period, demonstrating more permanent interests.

Human interests is another encyclopedic subject and all-time most viewed Wikipedia pages would be one of the best indicators. Youtube ranking is dominated by music videos; Alexa Internet ranking by service webs; Amazon.com ranking demonstrates interests of book-readers who today represent a much smaller group than Wikipedia readers. For this reason the lack of all-time most viewed Wikipedia pages, in my opinion, is one of most regrettable omission of Internet in general and Wikipedia in particular. This page partly fills this gap in knowledge.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Maxaxax. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Baking Soda (talk) 12:59, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:World order.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Mutual assured destruction, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thomas S. Power

Hello Maxaxax - you recently added some text to the article Thomas S. Power that includes the following, "Professor William Kaufmann from the RAND Corporation, losing his patience, noted: “Well, you’d better make sure that they a man and a woman.”" Unfortunately, there appears to be a word or two missing from Prof. Kaufmann's quote. Can you please check into this and correct the issue? Thanks in advance!, PKT(alk) 12:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. The quote in the reference was "make sure that they're a man and a woman", not "they". I fixed it for you. Cheers! PKT(alk) 22:36, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Herblock.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Herblock.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:30, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:"Massive Retaliatory Power" map in Fortune magazine, (May 1954).jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:"Massive Retaliatory Power" map in Fortune magazine, (May 1954).jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Train2104 (t • c) 03:08, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

{{PD-Pre1964}}: for images published in the United States prior to 1964 for which copyright was not renewed within 28 years of the date of publication.

Some of the material you included in the above article appears to have been copied from the copyright web page http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/S0260210509008316. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. I added some block quote mark-up to make it clear that one section is a quotation. Also, when copying from one Wikipedia article to another requires attribution. Please see WP:copying within Wikipedia for more information on this topic. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:42, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Your addition to American imperialism has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:21, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Elsa Jean XBIZ 2018.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Elsa Jean XBIZ 2018.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Whpq (talk) 13:34, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Elsa Jean

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Elsa Jean, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Non-free rationale for File:Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov signs the Non-Aggression Pact.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov signs the Non-Aggression Pact.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 01:01, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Abiogenesis is BEFORE "biological evolution"

Hi, I have reverted your (accidentally?) twice-made change to the categories of the Abiogenesis article. This is because abiogenesis is by definition BEFORE biological evolution, so it is NOT an event IN that process but ends just as evolution becomes ready to take off.

It may help (if you're not familiar with the topic?) to know that "A-" means "Not", "bio" means "life", and "genesis" means "origin". This can be read as "the origin of life from not-life", which (by definition, again) cannot be a process of "biological evolution".

I do hope this is clear. If you have beliefs or reasons to the contrary, I'm quite happy to discuss them, though for the reasons I have just given, it seems rather clear that they must be mistaken; as is the attempt to change a very recently-reviewed article against consensus.

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Re: Arbitration request

Hello Maxaxax,

In response to your request for arbitration, the Arbitration Committee has agreed that arbitration is not required at this stage. Arbitration on Wikipedia is a lengthy, complicated process that involves the unilateral adjudication of a dispute by an elected committee. Although the Committee's decisions can be useful to certain disputes, in many cases the actual process of arbitration is unenjoyable and time-consuming. Moreover, for most disputes the community maintains an effective set of mechanisms for reaching a compromise or resolving a grievance.

Disputes among editors regarding the content of an article should use structured discussion on the talk page between the disputing editors. However, requests for comment, third opinions and other venues are available if discussion alone does not yield a consensus. The dispute resolution noticeboard also exists as a method of resolving content disputes that aren't easily resolved with talk page discussion.

In all cases, you should review Wikipedia:Dispute resolution to learn more about resolving disputes on Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia community has many venues for resolving disputes and grievances, and it is important to explore them instead of requesting arbitration in the first instance. For more information on the process of arbitration, please see the Arbitration Policy and the Guide to Arbitration. I hope this advice is useful, and please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of the community if you have more questions.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 13:59, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, the initiative comes from higher authorities, probably higher than Wikipedia, who also supervise social media sites. They forced Wikipedia to recruit a team of best experts on deletion Wikipedia could find to eliminate active porn actors from Wikipedia. It happened synchronously with Instagram launching its mass deletion of porn actors' accounts. I am old enough to remember how the Soviet censor worked, it helped me to suppose what happens.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Reverted your edit

Hi, I've reverted your edit to BBC (sexual slang) (not an article I ever thought I would edit.)

• Please familiarize yourself with WP:COPYVIO: you copy-pasted text without making any changes. This is copyright violation.
• Do look into the authors of works before using them. In your case, Richard Lynn is not a reliable or neutral source on the topic.
• Think critically: does something existing in fiction like "One Thousand and One Nights" mean it reflects reality?

Homeworks done

• Critical thought is not allowed on Wikipedia. Anything critical I edited was reverted as original research.
• "One Thousand and One Nights" does not reflect reality. It reflects popular perception. The image of Mandingo does not reflect more reality but it is in the article because encyclopedias describe notable perceptions and images.
• Regarding the rest, I did my homeworks. I replaced the irreliable Richard Lynn by professional historians. For good. The pre-modern history of BBC is much richer than Lynn cared to research.--Maxaxa (talk) 01:16, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
