Hi - I thought you might be the right admin to protect the Ilhan Omar page as you've already been there. Omar is the first Muslim woman in US Congress, (took her seat just this week), and already she is being attacked by alt-right trolls. I made a simple edit for the sake of her safety and it was immediately reversed. I had to make this appeal to the other editor to have my edit accepted. In light of my argument made there, and given the vandalism is already ramping up, would now not be the right time to apply some measure of protection? Thanks. MarkDask 02:54, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
Hey there, I was just wondering if you were able to assist me on the latest edits on the Total Divas page. There is a user who claims just because there is not a source to provide for recurring and guest characters, it should entirely be removed with all recurring cast members being reverted to guests. This to me is inaccurate, as they are trying to determine a cast members status based on their personal views. Whereas the difference between a recurring and guest are based on the amount of episodes they appeared in, and the amount of involvement they have with the storyline/main cast members. Also, this seems like a bold edit as every other television show on Wikipedia contains these types of tables, determining main, recurring, and guest characters, so I find it rather silly that this user is targeting this one show yet none of the other shows. Anywho, any assist would be beneficial, and I'm not looking for "back up" as I am open to change, but I want it to be for the right reasons and accurate representations. I do not want to engage in an edit war with them, nor cross any boundaries with Wikipedia. Thanks! MSMRHurricane (talk) 06:28, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi Wtmitchell! I was patrolling through the new user log and noticed that RichardBransonJr was temporarily blocked for vandalism - did you mean to only block this account temporarily?

My purpose for reverting the IP's edit on Anchor baby was to keep the original wording there; indeed, the current version is quite aggressive toward a minority group, which seems contrary to the my fundamental principles as a Wikipedia user. There is no need to use "illegal" when "undocumented" is a just as accurate, if not more accurate, term. Hdjensofjfnen (Can I get a connection? Alternatively, trout me.) 22:00, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for your edit. I normally always make it a point to provide an edit summary, must have been dozing off, sorry and thanks for the reminder. Regarding my edits: I didn't mean to remove the entire cite ref, I only meant to add the text "seven". But I did insert back the cite reference.
But you are correct, the film Baler is a film, a historical account of real events, using fictional characters for the love story. The 57 was the film's poetic license, but there may have been only 50. I haven't had the chance to read the book referenced. My mistake for mixing up the film and history.

Administrators must secure their accounts
The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:28, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
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)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

Hi, I got your message about the page I edited. I'm editing it for the artist. I'm new to Wiki as you can probably tell.

If you can help but also put my edit back up that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you for being willing to discuss my extensive edits to that page with me, and I hope we can further discuss how to improve and greatly expand the page in a way that is fully properly sourced, and I hope at least some of the sources I added and existing sources I cited could be of at least some use.

I noted your remark about the change(s)/ deletion I made. I don't have an official publication to refer to or to ascribe this to but I will justify my actions by explaining that I have lived in Belgium for 40 years as a British citizen and legally registered resident. However, I do not have a vote in Belgium (apart from only the local council elections if I specifically register myself for those). I cannot have a national vote unless I become a Belgian citizen. In that way, I can demonstrate that the process of compulsory voting ONLY applies to Belgian citizens and not to foreign nationals (not even EU nationals or to registered residents and taxpayers).
As far as the change about fining non-voters, there was an article in today's newspaper in Dutch which explains why the non-voters will not be fined (records of non-voters are destroyed within six months and do not have time to arrive at the Courts)
The English translation of the Dutch text is as follows: Don't feel like voting on May 26? You don't have to fear a sanction: the no-show lists are never sent to the public prosecutors' offices and even destroyed after 6 months. Absent invigilators will be prosecuted. In the most recent municipal elections, 358,896 (7.4%) of the almost 4.9 million people obliged to attend did not show up. Those no-shows break the law and risk a fine of 40 to 80 euros. Repeat offenders even risk a fine of up to 200 euros. If you consistently - four times in 15 years - continue to refuse to vote, you will be "punished" with a ... ban on voting. Only: it never comes to a sanction.((cite news|url=|title=Geen sanctie voor wie niet stemt
“The invigilators of the polling stations send the lists of the absent voters to the civil courts. They keep them for six months and then destroy them according to the guidelines of the national archivist, "the FPS Justice explains. “The lists of absent voters are therefore not submitted to the public prosecutors' offices. Within the Public Prosecution Service the directive applies to prosecute only the absent invigilators of the voting and counting offices. "
Hope all that context more comprehensively and correctly explains the changes I made and that Wikipedia can be adjusted to correctly reflect the actual practice in Belgium.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:1810:c86:4100:44e7:e514:1fc:2fab (talk • contribs) 22:26, May 14, 2019 (UTC)

Tried to fix a bad article.
This article has extensive inaccuracies. I added sourced edits in the first chapter since there were many inaccuracies and there were of course no sources for that section at all.
The other chapters are also heavily inaccurate and either need massive revision or should be eliminated altogether.
I largely wrote the uniform section in Wikipedia "United States Army Air Forces".
To illustrate the point I will list the inaccuracies of the "Class B" section alone. Except for the first chapter which is now corrected the rest of the chapters are just as bad.
The A,B,C,D uniforms in the article are just totally made up. The fact A and B are modern terms is stated but there wasn't then or now a C or D in the U.S. Army. What is given does not even correspond with USMC A B C D uniforms.
1. The campaign hat could be worn with any uniform.
2. Spread Collar refers to a very wide opening for the tie. The Army shirt was not a spread collar type.
3. Rank was not worn on officer's shirt shoulder straps to "prevent snipers". Prior to 1942 the U.S. pin was worn on the right shirt collar and the branch insignia on the left with rank on the shoulder straps if the shirt was being worn as an outer garment. In 1942 this was changed so the rank was removed from the shoulder straps and the U.S. was replaced by the rank on the right collar point.
4. Enlisted personnel did not wear insignia disks on their shirts in WWII. That was a post war development.
5. Enlisted branch of service disks were not worn on the garrison "overseas" cap.
6. Enlisted service stripes were indeed authorized on service shirt sleeves.
The photo of Donald Prell, while I'm sure chosen to honor a WWII veteran shows a blue infantry cord which was not created until the Korean War era. It is also being worn with armored branch insignia which would not be authorized at any time in the U.S. Army. Although I sympathize with the desire to use a WWII vet's photo it's not an accurate WWII uniform example for the purpose of this article.
I could go on but you get the point. This is but one small section. Most of these are easily sourced in the U.S. Army WWII uniform regulations. I am willing to fix the errors but the edit will be very extensive virtually eliminating whole chapters and adding others.
Please give me feedback if you think an administrator will allow me to correct this with well sourced material or at least put in a disputed notice.

These both indicate that the edit was made from WP:Huggle, an anti-vandal editing tool from which I was probably engaged in reverting examples of appallingly low quality writing much worse than this in numerous other WP articles. My reversion in this case was probably triggered by seeing the line reading <nowiki>*</nowiki>''record of the race''
, which actually (1) not only did not come from you and (2) was not a problem but which (3) I must have mis-taken as beginning with <nowiki></nowiki>

I noticed you recently changed instances of "undocumented" to "illegal", acknowledging that, while the latter may not be politically correct, it reflects the subject of the article. Despite this, users continue to insist that we use "undocumented" because certain reliable sources use it, when a consensus does not yet appear to have been reached to do so.

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.
OK, so I have some trouble getting an otherwise unremarkable efn tag to work, because wikicode is being evil at the moment (I'm just waiting for it to collapse completely into a tiny (((1))) like all attempts to use "small" outside of HTML tags does right now), and that's a cue to revert every single thing I've done on the page, which amounts to probably an hour-plus of actual updates, additional research and cites, and other corrections? I'm annoyed enough at the code, and now that response, to ask you what you're smoking today. I'd have understood deleting the tag or reverting that shorter run of edits attempting to insert it, but absolutely everything, nearly 3000 characters of actual useful information and revision?
I've fully annotated every change I've made, if examined it's clearly not the work of someone out to vandalise the page. Perhaps I should have used the sandbox for the last few, but each change I made was one I expected to work and be the final case (the last one being out of frustration to see if anything would display at all), and given the way it seems to be glitching, I don't trust that it won't display just fine in the sandbox but then continue throwing an inexplicable tantrum when transferred to the page proper.
If you actually want to help out, rather than just blindly tipping a bucket of white-out over everything done to the page today because of a momentary bit of weirdness (I hit an edit conflict at the point of replacing the faecetious - but finally actually working - tag with something else myself), then a nicer response would be to tell me with a more expert eye 1) why the thing isn't working when I'm not putting any kind of unusual material inside it, even vs other similar ones already on the page, and 2) how to make it work as intended. 146.199.60.87 (talk) 20:07, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

parameter of ((infobox person)), and I'm going by the documentation of that infobox. The term "deadname" was new to me; I see that it apparently relates to info in Transphobia#Misgendering and exclusion (which is unrelated to WP policy or content guidelines). It may or may not also relate to info in WP:TRANSNAME, which is likewise unrelated to WP policy or content guidelines. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people), which is a WP content guideline, does not appear to contain any guidance on this. I see that you have unreverted my change and I won't contest that but I will suggest that perhaps this needs discussion in a more appropriate venue.

Hello - thank you for the message. I do question how the revision " ... did not appear constructive" as I just watched the movie and the character's exact quote was as I updated on the movie's page; "... bottom of a pretty dearn (sp?) big lake" vs. the original quote of - "... bottom of a really big lake." Considering the movie theme is Mississippi in the 1930's, the language used (by George Clooney) properly depicted the era. Here is a clip of the last scene, where he makes this statement (at 00:53) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OouuZzqaQbU Thank you~

Can you expand upon your reasoning for giving me a warn-1 for vandalism for this edit, in which I rollback an IP's (with two warnings this month) nonconstructive edit in which the population of Eureka, Missouri was changed from the well cited '10,189' to the nonsensical 'Baylor'.
I'm a little confused as to how my rollback is considered vandalism and the version of the article with a population of 'Baylor' is considered more useful? -- Curt内蒙 20:32, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Alex. I did not edit the article, I translated it into Russian, because it is not in this language. What was my mistake? I do not understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexDMashCop (talk • contribs) 12:16, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello, you undid my edit removal of The Weeknd's net worth. I did list a reason for the removal, perhaps you did not see? The reason I removed is that the $92 million figure currently being cited as his "net worth" is actually the amount of money he made in a single year: https://www.forbes.com/pictures/593a84e2a7ea434078d4e7b0/6-the-weeknd-92-million/#5abe70bd7d1f — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluetahoe99 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

Jonnui (talk) 19:09, 13 October 2019 (UTC)Hello. I'm a composer for film and TV with a number of notable credits to my name. I (tried to) edit the for an upcoming BBC six-part drama called The Trial of Christine Keeler today for which I wrote the music. I simply wanted to add my name as the composer in the 'Music by' section. Composers are routinely mentioned in these pages. You replied that it seemed like a test edit and has been removed. That's true in a sense, though it also true that I did write this music. Here is the IMDB cast/crew page to show it: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8001036/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm If i did this incorrectly and it's up to me to correct it, I'd be really greatful for a step-by-step guide on how to do so, since the sheer number of pages devoted to the many subtleties of different kind of wikipedia article edits is a little bamboozling. Many thanks, Jon[1]

Hi, too frequently now when we correct mistakes on a page that is misreferenced, we get told we have to make a "new reference". Wikipedia needs to do soemthing about this, because I keep having to remove informationthat was false inthe first place, and that was badly referenced by the article (when you go to the referenced article, it shows the info on wikipedia tobefalse).
This is the second time that has happened to me,that I REMOVEsomething incorrect and then it gets re-injected because I now have to add a new reference, whereas the old reference never made those claims in the first place. Please do something about that. Have people double check the use of references if you like, but don't keep asking us to ADD more references when we are correcting a misreference in the first place. Ive done it anyway, but it is highly disturbing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.112.238.250 (talk) 18:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

The story in the newspaper recently about the George Beauchamp from Hull is a mistake. The true George Beauchamp was exactly as Encyclopaedia Titanica explains. George lived with my family in the last few years of his life at the woolpack inn Redbridge. He was born in Eling and if you look at google earth you will see Eling and Redbridge are each side of the river Test. except for going to sea he never strayed far from where he was born. He was not on the Lusitania. The George Beauchamp from Hull is completely different man. He may have just told tales to amuse his granddaughter not expecting it to be taken as fact. I was told as a child not to mention the Titanic to George as he didn’t like to speak of it. I was nineteen when he died at the woolpack. His death was reported in the Southern Evening Echo. He never married so I feel it’s up to me to put matters right I thought Wikipedia should get it right. I am just learning to use an I pad so I am sorry if I am putting things in the wrong place, I have no idea how to work this, I am doing my best. Please put the record straight. In good Faith, Maureen 81.152.245.90 (talk) 09:34, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
I see you added about the Lusitania citing the indecent as your source. The story came from the Hull daily mail who first told the story of the hull George Beauchamp. The other daily papers took this as true and ran with it without checking the truth The real George Beauchamp was not on the Lusitania.

About "Ukonkivi" and "Ukonsaari"
Hello!
As native Finnish speaker I corrected some errors connected to the topics mentioned above.
1. ) There is lot of people in our country still preferring the old, own religion. Therefore it is not correct to insist that certain sacred / special places WAS sacred, but IS / ARE sacred. In Estonia our cousins there do have organised religion "Maausk" ( maa = land or country, usk ( Estonian usk; Finnish usko ) = faith or religion > religion of the country ). In Finland probably the same percent of population is quietly in the old religion, but we do not manifest it. For centuries it has been forced by law to be Christian here, despite of what one might think alone.
2. ) "ukko" and "äijih" are normal / ordinary words, both just meaning "old man" or "grandfather". The very same words written "Ukko" and "Äijih" are used to refer God here. "Äijih" is Samish; the very same word in Finnish is äijä.

Dear Mr Mitchell You said to me that my edit was not constructive. But it is reality for hundreds of thousand of adults living today. Adults living with autism who are not afraid of people like you anymore. We won’t be silenced with drugs, we won’t be tranquilized to the point that we can’t even think anymore because we make you uncomfortable! Those drugs cause tardive dyskinsisia’s, why don’t you look that up it’s on Wikipedia. (IamAnAspieUnicorn) (talk) 21:07, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

right at the top. That is probably what prompted my revert, and I see that the edit summary of my recert says, "editing tests', which which comes from a clickable menu in Huggle. Looking at the edit history for the article, I see that in addition to my revert your edits have been multiply reverted by other editors, who have given other reasons apparently related to other parts of your edits. I didn't look over your edits beyond that, but I suggest that you do so, and possibly contact those other involved editors if the reasons for their reverts is not clear.
