Hi, You write[1] that you have no in-depth knowledge of this subject and yet that stunning fact alone does not slow you in any way from fiercely reverting the contributions of other editors and making claims that your edits are "balanced."
Binksternet, if you have limited knowledge of the subject, what is the likelihood that you will understand what balance is?
Don't you see a contradiction in knowing so little about a subject yet fighting constantly about facts pertaining to it and making accusations that what other editors add is not balanced?
For the record, I will let you know that I check every reference and study every book reference in that article and own the most relevant books.
You have made many accusations against me, most of them negative.
I want you to know that I have taken the time to learn about this topic and have no axe to grind. I am a disinterested observer in that my line of full-time work is separate from the facts of this article or the history of the coup.
This is unlike BoogaLouie who has written on your archived talk page[2] that "As one who has a particular interest in Iran's current political situation and its history, I want to tell you that your efforts to establish a neutral tone in the article are not unappreciated. ... I'm sure that sounds a little ass-kissy but you have spent many hours and now are blocked for your trouble. --BoogaLouie (talk) 18:48, 20 April 2010 (UTC)"
While BoogaLouie may or may not have a real conflict of interest in editing articles related to the 1953 coup, it is clear to administrators and fellow editors alike that his views and edits are hopelessly prejudiced. And since you have arrived at the article, which you say was last June, you have most often sided with BoogaLouie. Don't you see the possibility that 1. given your professed lack of knowledge about the subject, and 2. your close association with BoogaLouie's views that have proven bias, that your behavior and views are also biased?
Where you live, what other articles you work on, and that you call yourself liberal has no meaning here.
I am interested in reflecting the dominant views of the most reliable sources that have written extensively on the topic of the 1953 coup in Iran. I have a problem with your line of arguments because, under BoogaLouie's wing, you have absorbed his prejudices and that causes a bottle neck on the talk page and in the article itself. If you want to continue to participate in editing this article, please obtain the relevant books and read them. Otherwise your participation is unfair and taxing to those of us who do spend the time to study the relevant histories.
Your have admitted that your militant opinions are uninformed!
For some time you have been arguing against Mossadegh. For awhile, I was amused because there was hardly a mention of Mossadegh in the article at the time you and Booga were arguing in favor of plying the article with negative comments about Mossadegh. I find it shocking that you would profess to have little knowledge of this subject yet continue to be as erratic and militant on this subject as you are. Your admission that you have so little knowledge of the subject earns no respect from me. You behave as if to say that you know little about the subject but have formed opinions that you relentlessly fight for. That suggests the criticisms of you for cherry-picking and prejudiced edits turn out to be true.
I hope this changes.

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

Hello. You reverted out a book reference I put in the article American Dream which I thought and think is relevant to the American Dream and documents part of the phenomenon.
According to the log, your rationale for doing so was:
No occurrence of tee phrase "American Dream" in that book? I should think that it wouldn't be necessary per se. Have you read the entire book, which I have done? It's not 100% on the American Dream, per se, but the book shows how people have achieved it. --- Wikiklrsc (talk) 16:02, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

You appear to be overly protective in preserving Rjenson's Wiki page on Harry Hopkins. Are there two sets of standards in play here, one for Wiki editors and one for Rjenson? Why do you characterize my addition of cited material as "disruptive edits?" Since when is contributing information to a Wiki page using the proper Wiki procedures considered "vandalizing" the Wiki? I didn't delete Rjenson's information as he did with mine. My addition was not in violation of the Wiki rules for editing as it contained bona fide citations in the proper format. How is it that you neglected to warn Rjenson of the three-revert rule after he violated it several times? Ffolkes
It is fascinating that you now reveal the true reason behind your one-sided "edit warring warnings." That you would characterize the well-researched and annotated Romerstein/Brendel work as a "fringe source" and a "pop culture" book is revealing. But are you aware that Walter & Miriam Schneior of The Nation are equally dismissive of the John Haynes and Harvey Klehr Venona book that you seem to believe has credibility that is lacking in Romerstein/Breindel book.
Perhaps you should list all the works that are considered by your nebulous standards to be "fringe sources" so perspective Wiki editors can anticipate those "edit warring warnings." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.7.68 (talk) 01:10, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Binksternet! Thanks for warning about the possibility of an edit war at User talk:76.191.236.182. Not to worry, I wasn't going to let it get to that point - I was well aware that I had already made two reverts myself. That user and I are now in contact, and it is clear that he/she was acting in good faith. It appears there really was some kind of flea circus event at the 1935 San Diego expo, even though it sounds like a joke and no trace of it can be found online except for a recent puppet show about it. I will work things out with the other person and we will agree on a more encyclopedic way of getting the information out. Thanks for trying to keep things on an even keel. --MelanieN (talk) 23:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your interesting comment. I think you really asked two questions: 1) Why the (city, state) disambig format; and 2) Why hasn't it been applied throughout. To the first the answer is simply a matter of maintaining a consistent format among similar article regardless of the prominence of the city in question. To the second, a few reasons: One, I felt the city, state format only applied in the case of US theaters and so didn't attempt anything similar in the articles of theaters in other countries. Regarding other US article not in the city, state format, it's a work in progress. I by no means am the arbiter here, so when I was unsure I left it alone for others to attend to or until I had a better idea. For instance, I never got a sense of the right format for theaters in Manhattan, "New York City" "New York, New York" "Broadway" "Manhattan" all I think have been used some in articles where the editors felt strongly, as I remember, so I left those for another day when some consensus might be reached. I certainly never got to all articles on US theaters and have limited time like all editors on Wikipedia. Theaters with names unique in Wikipedia, as I understand it, should not have a further geographical disambiguation. I'm not familiar with Hollywood Palladium, but if that is the official name of the theater as opposed to a common term of reference then it should stand that way even though there may also be a Palladium (London), etc. Bottom line, I do think this is the best disambig format and that titles should have the actual theater name followed by (City, State) in parentheses for ease of search and consistency of format; I never planned to personally get to every single article and I left those alone that I was unsure about. Hope this sheds some light on the work that I did some months ago. Best wishes Markhh (talk) 06:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I thought I would get in touch with you regarding the conflict of interest rollback of the external link I added to the World War Two Article. I was hoping we could discuss the details and perhaps I can resolve the issue on my end? I think the site has real value and because of it's close ties to Wikipedia (each data point in my mashup links back to the appropriate Wikipedia article as the authoritative source on that topic) it is a good candidate for the external links section. The dataset I am building is is (as far as I know) a unique resource for World War Two:

Hi, I'm new to editing and would like to understand how my edit to DVD-Audio May 30 is vandalism of the previous revision. Can it be changed or modified in some way as to be "non-vandalism" ? Thanks, Jensigner (talk) 23:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
OK, I saw your (Binksternet) comment about soapboxing. I didn't intend to soapbox or promote any product but was demonstrating how to create DVD-Audio content with specific tools from sources that are already mentioned on the DVD-Audio page. I thought I was being rather impartial by including both open source and commercial products without imparting any bias, except to point out a few features or lack of. Many of my articles are of this nature at www.jensign.com and I have written many articles with absolutely no intention or hidden agenda to promote any of them.
In fact I was recently considering contributing my entire web content (as suggested by several colleatures) as a wikibook but it seems like it would not be accepted. Cheers .. Jensigner (talk) 23:56, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for clearly explaining the rules. I'm certainly no expert (in a professional sense) in DVD-Audio but I was just trying to share my own personal design and usage experiences. The edit and information I posted is clearly not appropriate for inclusion here, even though based on responses, it is clearly very useful to many newcomers to DVD-Audio. It is therefore better that the links don't appear in Wikipedia with these rules. All the best Jensigner (talk) 14:13, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, this article has never undergone a GA review and is not listed at WP:GA, yet you have tagged it as a GA via the assessments.

Hello, I hope you're doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I'm Claudi Balaguer, a member of a Catalan association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this hasn't been approved up to that moment. I know that you are also trying to obtain a Californian Chapter and I sincerely hope that you will succeed and I think that all the members of our association feel likewise because denying it implies, in my opinion, going against the spreading of knowledge creating boundaries to creativity and collective voluntary work. So maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Supporting us will be like giving equal opportunity to minorized languages, cultures and local or regional entities in the future! Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care!

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:30, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed that you added the image of Brinkley to this article. As part of the GA review, it was requested that we attempt to add more illustrations (perhaps one of his advertisements). I've found quite a few items that might qualify at the Kansas Historical Society's web site, but I am not very familiar with image copyright and fair use doctrine, so I wonder if you might take a look at what they have to offer. I've made some comments along these lines, along with some links to images held by the historical society, for ease of reference, at the review page Talk:John R. Brinkley/GA1.

I have been in an area with limited internet access as of late, hence my sparse editing. Firstly, the issue was discussed in detail with two CheckUsers, and I made an administrative judgment based on behavior (for example, the same article editing pattern by both users). I am not going to reveal detailed IP information for privacy reasons, but this is a complex case (you are incorrect when you state that sleeper accounts make edits). Secondly, my lack of response to your comment was not exclusive to you and I did not specifically ignore it because it was written by you. Finally, it is incorrect to assume that making false accusations against an administrator will make you immune from further scrutiny when it comes to your edit warring and disruptive behavior. Regardless of the fact that I edit a certain range of pages, my actions are as an administrator and I am not involved as an editor in any of the said disputes. Khoikhoi 03:11, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Susan B. Anthony. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --InaMaka (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Copyedit from the Republic XF-84H Thunderscreech talk page: "As to writing style, for a hoot, I took one paragraph from the article that I had exclusively written and submitted it to a writing style check. The analysis indicated that the style matched precisely that of: David Foster Wallace (February 21, 1962 – September 12, 2008) a professor at Pomona College in Claremont, California, noted as an American author of novels, essays and short stories. He was widely known for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which Time included in its All-Time 100 Greatest Novels list (covering the period 1923–2006). So, you can see that writing style can be entirely arbitrary and capricious. I did the same for some of the other notables on this page and got matches of writing style to "Ursula K. Le Guin", "Dan Brown", "Stephen King", "Kurt Vonnegut" and "James Joyce." Now, for the fun: match up: Silverchemist, Mark Sublette, BilCat, AussieLegend and Binksternet to their writing styles!

Please join the discussion at Talk:Airship#Undeveloped_Ideas. I'd like to revise this section up to spec, but could use some feedback before I do. Fixblor (talk) 15:38, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Please review Talk:Kit_Carson#Ed_Quillen. The problem is that I've met the man. He's OK, but really just another guy. Fred Talk 21:59, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In March you added a citation to a book from the "Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases" series published by Icon Group International to this article. Unfortunately, Icon Group International is not a reliable source - their books are computer-generated, with most of the text copied from Wikipedia (most entries have [WP] by them to indicate this, see e.g. [4]). I've only removed the reference, not the text it was referencing. I'm removing a lot of similar references as they are circular references; many other editors have also been duped by these sources. Despite giving an appearance of reliability, the name "Webster's" has been public domain since the late 19th century. Another publisher to be wary of as they reuse Wikipedia articles is Alphascript Publishing. Fences&Windows 19:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
"The practice we’ve dubbed “racebending” on this site refers to situations where A) A movie studio/publisher, etc. has changed the ethnicity of a character B) with a resultant discriminatory impact on an underrepresented cultural community and actors from that community (reinforcement of glass ceilings, loss of opportunity, etc.)"
note that this is the excepted definition of racebending, minus examples. i would like to know why you thought it would be a good idea to reduce that to one sentence that doesn't even cover the scope of what racebending truly is. that decision reeks of, not only lack of life experience(ever seen the difference between original stories and their movie adaptations?), but lack of research as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silvercell2 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
I began editing this article because as it stood there was a great deal of in correct information in it.
That said, I did not intend to delete the reference to Janet R. Daly-Benarek's The Enlisted Experience: A Conversation With the Chief Master Sergeants of the Air Force, since I did not alter the bit it was supporting. It was my mistake unintentionally deleting it and it should be put back in. My apologies!
However the references to U.S. Army Air Force fabric shade numbers were incorrectly stated in the original article: "Members of the USAAF wore a wool serge service uniform very similar to that of other U.S. Army forces with few modifications. Officers wore a "No. 1" service uniform in "shade No. 51 (dark-shade)" olive drab, nicknamed "greens", while enlisted personnel wore "Class A" service dress of "shade No. 54 (light-shade)" OD. In garrison most officers, although authorized wear of the lighter shade trousers, wore khaki chino cotton or wool trousers that appeared pinkish in hue in contrast with the dark No. 51 shade, leading to the nickname "pinks and greens" for the combination.[1]
Correction: "No. 1 dress" is a British Army term. The term "Class A" is a post WWII U.S. Army term. Enlisted personnel did not wear "shade No. 54 (light-shade)" OD. There is no such thing as Olive Drab shade 54. Drab shade 54 is the pinkish shade being refered to. Olive drab "light shade" was OD shade 33 which was the color of uniforms issued to enlisted men and used by officers except for dress purposes. The last sentence doesn't make sence, officers usually wore the drab shade 54 trousers for dress and olive drab light or dark shade trousers at other times. American khaki cotton trousers were part of the summer service uniform, for the most part not used at all in Europe. These cotton trousers did not form part of the "pinks and greens" uniform, the combination was winter weight wool olive drab shade 51 service coat and drab shade 54 service trousers.
Therefore, the reference Bowman, USAAF Handbook 1939-1945, pp. 166-167. was not there supporting correct information as stated in the article.
I could go on through the article as it was before, pointing out other errors but I think it is sufficently corrected now. I left untouched parts that were correct already.
Sorry for the miscommunication.

P.S. In my last edit I deleted the phrase the WAAC later became the WAC "which did not result in a uniform change", because it did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrickodriscoll (talk • contribs) 02:00, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I just renominated George Washing for GA Status per the second review, most of the suggestions made were done though not checked off. I was wondering if you could have a look at it since the previous reviewer Nikkimaria is away on vacation. Thanks. Fridae'§Doom | Spare your time? 08:33, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
You are currently editing against the consensus. Please stop. Please review BOLD, revert, discuss. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 19:06, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator. For alternative methods to appeal, see Wikipedia:Appealing a block. -- tariqabjotu 21:19, 27 July 2010 (UTC) About ten days ago user mbz1, noon, and huey45 ganged up to revert my edits and mbz1 along with huey45 got me blocked for 24 hours for what they called vandalism and edit warring whereas I was just trying to improve the wikipedia article. Apparently mbz1 has already been blocked 7-9 times. It is clear huey45 was acting in "bad faith" when he stated that the art students weren't even Israeli and repeated the statement again. It's very likely that huey45 isn't the only user acting in "bad faith" with regards to editing this article.Preciseaccuracy (talk) 06:33, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Binksternet, I've unblocked Mbz1 as they have indicated they will not edit war any more. I am willing to unblock you as well under the same undertaking. ++Lar: t/c 19:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Bill Porter - 1977 - Des Moines.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

UKphoenix found on source that has the exact wording [5]. And frankly, when I look at the High-end audio atricle, as badly written as it is, it allows for high price and aesthetics, in addition to audio fidelity. I think a fair next step is to articulate what those sources are talking about which is the radios, ipod speakers etc. so it's accurate. Mattnad (talk) 22:07, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

@RomaC:
I lost a lot of my counters when I tried deleting everything off of them, I know since some of my GAs are missing and/or repeated, but I've considered Carlton Hill (Erie Railroad station) was the #50. What count did you come out to?Mitch32(Growing up with Wikipedia: 1 edit at a time.) 14:31, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
