Hello Mike,
Comment by 108.120.175.74 (talk · contribs) at 10:33, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello Mike, I edited the track listing of Twiztid's ninth studio album, Abominationz, as it currently lists the "Jamie Madrox Version" exclusive track as "She Loves It", but I just purchased the album and that track's title is actually "Return of the Pervert"

"Reviewed" page
− Thanks for that message. Yes, I saw that the new tool was marking pages as "reviewed" so that why I stopped using it. I did indeed look at the article in question but never clicked on the reviewed button, but it marked it as reviewed anyway. Have you noticed this issue as well? It's a shame, because I love the interface. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:06, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey. I am more than willing to adhere to the rules and add the requested information to my Wiki entry, however if you could provide me with an example of what it is you require me to add (re: citations) regarding the post I made on behalf of the "Author" (Molly Cutpurse) then I shall do my best to rectify the issue. Thank you :)

92 Division Infantry article
[Heading pruned by Mrt3366]
Comment by 71.48.6.132 (talk · contribs) at 05:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC) Apparently you feel that having a citation that is linked to a page that is a dead link, with no support of a statement is more constructive than replacing the citation/link with the words-- "citation needed". I have no disagreement with most of the information in the entry for 92 Division, but clearly a statement was made which is highly political in nature and which is not substantiated. In professional historian work this would be known as an OPINION. Without a legitimate accessible corroborating citation, it is quite clearly "non-constructive" to the truth, to simply have an opinion vs. verifiable facts. Of course, if your goal is to maintain a false narrative for some agenda, it is to the detriment of this unit of fighting Americans (note that they are Americans-- not some hyphenated sub group which a racial agenda would drive). There are several other phrases in the entry that are left intact of a highly subjective and assumptive nature, particularly as regards white officer leadership and these are not linked to any research page or source at all. In the case of the 92nd Div in WWII-- this is as bad as the documented statements of General Almond. Consistency and accuracy are constructive-- and finding a functional link to support the statement in question would be as well. As it stands now, it is of little value without it. 71.48.6.132 (talk) 05:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
- The citation already contains {{dead link}} tag and I thought that's enough. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 06:45, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Your recent reverts
Hello. It's come to my attention that some of your reverts have been questionable. Would you mind using custom edit summaries, rather than the unhelpful default edit summary provided by automated tools? Also, please be judicious when you are reverting; don't revert if you simply don't understand why the edit was made, or if text was added that wasn't sourced (unless it's for another reason such as it is poorly formatted, or you know it's wrong, or it's a WP:BLP issue). Thanks. --Rschen7754 09:23, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
"please be judicious when you are reverting; don't revert if you simply don't understand why the edit was made"
- I don't think I reverted edits just because I didn't understand why the edit was made."if text was added that wasn't sourced"
- you mean I cannot revert it? Is that what you're saying? I don't understand this line. Wikipedia has a core policy of No original research. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Suddenly it seems that the onus is on the remover/reverter. But I may be wrong please elucidate. Anyways, I will be more judicious, cheers Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 09:35, 26 October 2012 (UTC)- What happened with the {{italic text}} issue then?
- That is a misinterpretation of no original research. Usually you can tell when something is original research, or a personal opinion. We only start getting picky about that at the GA/A/FA level, or if the article is a BLP. --Rschen7754 09:40, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- What happened with the {{italic text}} issue then? - Sure. IMO that was not contributing to the article constructively. That edit was not helpful. I didn't claim that it was an original research, in the edit summary I said it seemed like a test and/or unhelpful edit. Yes, one editor disagreed, and whatever the case may be the reason was not that I didn't understand the usage of the template. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 09:46, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- But why was it not helpful? That's why those automated summaries... are not helpful. --Rschen7754 09:51, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- It's not

Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that when you recently reviewed this article, you missed the fact that it's a copyvio copied and pasted from an external site. The author has recreated the article about 5 times over the last day or so and each time removes the copyvio tag added by the bot. I've reverted your changes to the last version with the copyvio tag (because it was just easiest) and CSD'd it. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

- You're kind of correct. WP:BLP says Contentious material about living persons (or recently deceased)... whereas WP:BLPPROD#Scope says ...the use of this deletion procedure is intended to apply only to actual biographies of living people.

references / deletion of Ansel Faraj
Hi Mrt3366! I have added references to the article Ansel Faraj so that it would not be deleted. What else must I do to save the article...? Thank you :) Gothicfilmhistorian (talk) 19:05, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
- You've already much of the fine work sir. Good Job! Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 07:34, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- Although it doesn't discount the fact that you've put in a nice effort, I think the sources you've provided are not secondary reliable sources. The thing is we need multiple independent reliable sources which talk of the subject in detail and not just trivial mentions. Can you cite some of those? That would be great. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 07:40, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- You've already much of the fine work sir. Good Job! Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 07:34, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Gothicfilmhistorian (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:33, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
- I can't say if you have much time. However, as of now it's not nominated for deletion, it will be soon if you don't cite reliable third party sources to establish general notability. I asked in another page about the sources you've used and along other things what the reply contained was
——AndyTheGrump. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 07:19, 8 November 2012 (UTC)I can see no way that any of these sources can be cited to establish that Faraj meets the notability requirements as laid down in WP:CREATIVE. We'd need evidence from reputable independent third-party sources that Faraj has "created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work", "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors", or otherwise meets the notability requirements.
- BTW, seeing that this article may not meet the standards of requirement, I have nominated the article for deletion (← this is the link). You've some time don't panic. BUT comment on the page as soon as you can, that will raise the chances of your article being saved. Thank you. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 07:46, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mike This is regarding the decline of the article regarding HVK (wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/H._V._Kumar) Please let me know what needs to be changed because I've provided references of all credible & reliable resource to support his credibility.
Thanks RG Aarganesh (talk) 13:03, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
- I think you need to get familiar with the definition of reliable sources. For example, you used user-generated cites like Linkedin, Facebook (and at one point even Wikipedia itself) as references but they are not considered secondary reliable sources. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 14:01, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
- Anyone can create a personal web page and then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources. Facebook, Wikipedia fall under the same category I'm afraid! Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 14:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Aarganesh (talk) 14:23, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw them. And few of those I think are reliable and contain mentionable material. But there are other issues. Even if you have some reliable sources available, you cannot just publish data based on original research in any article and that won't bode well for the future of the submission.
- However, I think I owe you a clearer answer. Here some of the issues which caught my eye:
- Too many unreferenced assertions. There are section after section filled with such content. See WP:BLPSOURCES.
- Use of unreliable sources to such an extent where reliable sources become virtually indistinguishable.
- Not a clear indication of why the subject might be notable.
- Last but by no means the least, too much focus on what the subject himself has said/written rather than what has been written about him by independent sources.
- Get rid of these issues first and we might have a fine article. This (no. 9) source says it's a blog. We don't generally accept blogs as reliable sources even if one can vouch for their credibility. Thank you. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 14:33, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

AWB access request
You recently requested access to AutoWikiBrowser, however you've already had access for two months, see [3]. Snowolf How can I help? 12:33, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I have decided to revoke your AWB access given you have claimed not so long ago that your edits thru automated tools are not your responsability but the tool's developer's. Snowolf How can I help? 12:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Sir, I don't understand, why did you revoke my access when I have not got a chance to even use it? And for your kind information, I never claimed any such thing as my edits through automated tools are not my responsibility. I think you're referring to this discussion on my talk page. Where a novice editor asked me to modify the "automated response" (automated warning messages of Stiki, not to be confused with automated edit summary) in such a way that it mentions that it's automated. In that context I merely responded, "I have not created those messages nor did I build that software, so I am really the wrong person to complain to."
I didn't say I do not take responsibility. I take responsibility for the message but if someone asks me to change the wording of twinkle warnings or Stiki warnings that I do not know how to do. Hence I wrote that I am not the guy one should be complaining to about the wording of the warning messages. Please do not take this too far. I am not a vandal or a disruptive user. I am trustworthy enough to be bestowed with such access and I know what I am doing. Please restore the access. Thank you. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 13:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)- I do hereby solemnly swear to take full responsibility for the tool. And the thing is, I never said or meant that I do not take responsibility. I in fact do take responsibility for anything that comes with the tool. However, if someone asks me to change/modify the coding of the tool itself, then that I cannot do as I don't know how. Modifying the tools (e.g. STiki, Twinkle, AWB, etc) themselves is just not within the purview of my knowledge. Hence I wrote that I am not the guy one should be complaining to about the automated/default wording of the warning messages (this is different from edit summary which can be and has been customized in STiki). There has been an unfortunate misunderstanding.
I concede, I should have been more precise while saying these things in that other thread. I am sorry for all the confusion it caused. Now, please restore the access and also I didn't abuse the tool and I have never even used it since I didn't know that I had access to it. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 08:57, 12 November 2012 (UTC)- The wording's automated nature hardly matters. What you post thru STiki, AWB or Huggle is entirely your problem, the automated nature of the message is irrelevant, and if somebody has an issue with your usage of a certain edit summary or warning or whatever, pointing to the tool's developer and saying "go complain to him" is not a valid reply. And yes, if people have concerns about what your edit summaries or warnings or whatever, you don't point them to the tool's developer, you stop using the tool, then you go yourself to the tool's developer and say "I got problem X", hope he fixes and use make manual edits in the meantime. I remain unconvinced that continued access to automated tools when in the last couple of weeks several people have raised issues with your use of another automated tool and all they got out of you is that you have no idea how to fix it and will keep going on the same is wise, let alone that access to additional automated tools be granted. Snowolf How can I help? 12:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
What you post thru STiki, AWB or Huggle is entirely your problem
- of course it is, when did I disagree?the automated nature of the message is irrelevant
- irrelevant? Okay. Then tell me if someone requested me to change the color of the default font of the automated warning (in such a way that the warning will every time display such font color) or something that is not by default accessible to the tool-user, what should I say to the requester? Should I not inform that it is not something I can do? What don't you get this simple fact. Had that editor asked me to simply change that very message on his talk, I would have gladly helped. But he was asking for something completely different that will need knowledge which I do not possess. What do you expect me to say?and if somebody has an issue with your usage of a certain edit summary or warning or whatever, pointing to the tool's developer and saying "go complain to him" is not a valid reply
- I was not using that statement as an excuse I was simply informing him the nature of STiki. Again, I didn't say "go complain to him". I repeat, he didn't complain about the fact that I warned him. He, instead, asked me to change the warning itself. I, for better or for worse, didn't entertain such demand.
But anyway, I have already told you that I almost always do take and will take full responsibility from now on for any automated tool I use on wikipedia. That's only one time where I spoke out of turn and I regret that. Besides, whatever little confusion there might have been in my mind, is all dispersed now thanks to your cogent revelations. Now, what's the problem? Please restore the access. Now that you've informed me and I know how it works, this is not an issue anymore. There is no need to further keep the access away from me. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 08:10, 13 November 2012 (UTC)if people have concerns about what your edit summaries or warnings or whatever, you don't point them to the tool's developer, you stop using the tool
- You're presuming it is always I who can be in the fault, why? If I, right here, raise concerns against your usage of administrative tools should you stop using them and go to the developer and ask them to fix the tool for you? This is getting silly. I, as a matter of fact, don't have any problem with any tool I use. On the other hand, if somebody else has problems with my editing they are invited to inform me and if that discussion fails they can report me. There you have the protocol.
You're yet again misinterpreting my statements. I like such tools, and like to notify users that I reverted their edit (if any). This gives them a chance to get back to me or improve their edits or re-add the deleted data with sources.
P.S. Although I am in no position to teach you anything still arbitrarily divesting somebody of the tool he never got the chance to even use, based on your inference or construal of others' inadvertent or rather accidental comments by making these slips/gaffes the nucleus of your attention to such an extent where you don't see anything else that the user did or said, is surely not the way veteran administrators like you are expected to work. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 08:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
- The wording's automated nature hardly matters. What you post thru STiki, AWB or Huggle is entirely your problem, the automated nature of the message is irrelevant, and if somebody has an issue with your usage of a certain edit summary or warning or whatever, pointing to the tool's developer and saying "go complain to him" is not a valid reply. And yes, if people have concerns about what your edit summaries or warnings or whatever, you don't point them to the tool's developer, you stop using the tool, then you go yourself to the tool's developer and say "I got problem X", hope he fixes and use make manual edits in the meantime. I remain unconvinced that continued access to automated tools when in the last couple of weeks several people have raised issues with your use of another automated tool and all they got out of you is that you have no idea how to fix it and will keep going on the same is wise, let alone that access to additional automated tools be granted. Snowolf How can I help? 12:17, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- I do hereby solemnly swear to take full responsibility for the tool. And the thing is, I never said or meant that I do not take responsibility. I in fact do take responsibility for anything that comes with the tool. However, if someone asks me to change/modify the coding of the tool itself, then that I cannot do as I don't know how. Modifying the tools (e.g. STiki, Twinkle, AWB, etc) themselves is just not within the purview of my knowledge. Hence I wrote that I am not the guy one should be complaining to about the automated/default wording of the warning messages (this is different from edit summary which can be and has been customized in STiki). There has been an unfortunate misunderstanding.
- Sir, I don't understand, why did you revoke my access when I have not got a chance to even use it? And for your kind information, I never claimed any such thing as my edits through automated tools are not my responsibility. I think you're referring to this discussion on my talk page. Where a novice editor asked me to modify the "automated response" (automated warning messages of Stiki, not to be confused with automated edit summary) in such a way that it mentions that it's automated. In that context I merely responded, "I have not created those messages nor did I build that software, so I am really the wrong person to complain to."

I've declined your A9 on that because the band does have an article. A9 is only for recordings by artists with no article. Might be the way that things are displayed in Page Curation. I've had quite a lot of wrong tags come up since that thing came in. Peridon (talk) 14:39, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital
Comment by Gatherinformation (talk · contribs) at 00:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC) This article needs additional citations for verification and may contain original research. (November 2012) Hello, I don't know where my article requires further citations for verification. I basically have tried to provide everything possible. The problem is I know more about the hospital, than sources that are published and available... but I was able to add some. please tell me where I am lacking verification.Gatherinformation (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
- You added 3-5 refs after I curated the page. Still if you want some content that lacks reference I might be able to help you with that. The following is without inline citation and seemingly based on original research:
It was originally built under British colonisation of Africa in 1853. The operation of Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) was improved with the help of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny in 1903.
The Hospital's name was extended to Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital in the late 1990's, since it became part of the newly founded faculty of medicine of the University of the Gambia and therefore includes the training of medical doctors and other medical professions. The first 15 Students started schooling in November 2002 at RVTH. The Hospital is further more participation in international research-studies concerning the fight against malaria and hepatitis.
Mr.T, for the first part of the article (about the history of RVTH) I used the information from the German Wikipedia article and translated it into English. The first part of the German article has been in sxisting for some years already and was based on German publications (compare litrature ref.) and I have added my informations about the med.school. That's how I found out there was no english article which made me writing it.
However I am not in possesion nor do I have access to compareable english litrature to be set as ref.
Should I just add the German books as ref. ? Gatherinformation (talk) 11:51, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Wikipedia actually doesn't prohibit you from using non-English sources provided that there are no equivalent English ref available to you. However you should know that
- if a question should arise as to whether the non-English original actually supports the information, relevant portions of the original and a translation should be given in a footnote, as a courtesy.
- Translations published by reliable sources are preferred over translations by Wikipedians, but translations by Wikipedians are preferred over machine translations.
- I hope this helps. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 12:01, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Any audio converter
Hello Mrt3366. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Any audio converter, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Though it might have been a borderline G11 when it was first created, it isn't now due to the copy editing.

AWB
I've reverted this good faith AWB edit of yours, because in trying to fix a typo you inadvertently changed the file name, and broke the image. Please do try to manually review the edits before you commit them! Thanks for your help, though... I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate typos fixed elsewhere! Cheers. Yazan (talk) 13:38, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- As a matter of fact, I did review it before committing it. But I didn't notice the <gallery> tag. My bad. I will be more judicious from now on, thanks for notifying me. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 13:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Now, it won't happen again. I have set it to skip any article which contains "collonade". I don't think there are too many article with this typo. Sounds good?BTW, I f**king hate typos (even more when I commit it). Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 08:14, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

WP:CSD
A person like Åge Vedel Tåning who is said to be the director of a laboratory famous enough to have a WP article, fully meets the conditions at WP:PROF for notability. A longer article would be desirable , but even a sourced article saying that is a fully valid stub.
But even more important, even without sources, and even if the laboratory were not notable enough to have a WP article, it would still pass CSD. In order to satisfy WP:CSD#A7, it is not necessary to be notable, or even probably notable ; it is only necessary to have some indication of plausible importance. This is a very low bar, and deliberately so. Even an undocumented article is not A7, for someone might find documentation. For a further explanation see WP:CSD and the many discussions in its talk page archive. DGG ( talk ) 19:04, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- Even I was iffy about the article's nomination through CSD. I generally tend to AFD or PROD such articles, I don't know why I did it. Won't happen in future. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 19:07, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, Mrt3366. I'm User:Shirt58 (call me Peter, or Pete, or maybe even call me Ishmael), and I started the Åge Vedel Tåning article. New page patrolling is very important to the project. Please do read what David (one of the most approachable admins here, btw) suggests you read. That said, everyone make mistakes, please don't let one little thing stress you out. --Shirt58 (talk) 12:04, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Pete. Yes, we're all human-volunteers here, every now and then we commit minor miscalculations. Admittedly, it took me quite some strides to get au fait with WP:A7 (I didn't quite understand it at first) but now I am getting there. Surely, I understand it better after DGG's suggestions.
- Some of us —how should I put it— are more competent than others? And the rest is trying to get to their level of competence. I am doing my part. I probably would have been better off not nominating it for speedy-deletion esp since I was myself unsure. Having said that, I wasn't stressed out but thanks for your kind concern. Mr T(Talk?)

Article for Paranjoy Guha Thakurta
Hi, thank you for taking the time to review the Paranjoy Guha Thakurta article. From the very outset I realize that the notability of this person might not stick, but that's the strange thing in his context: although he has been an outstanding journalist and activist who has been referenced quite thoroughly by the media and academia, he himself has not received any coverage. The only real coverage to show for his notability I can point you to is an interview by Madhu Trehan at [4], specifically between 0:10 and 0:58 mark. It would be nice if this article for this good-guy-journalist could be put up. If you have any suggestions on how I could improve the article specifically to establish his notability, that would be great too. Thanks again for your time. Nshuks7 (talk) 13:45, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- All I can say at this moment is that either lose all the unsourced statements or cite sources for them (because a more fastidious editor might consider their existence as a demerit or even problem, then decline) and hope for the best. In my experience I have seen it go both ways from there.
- All you need to show is that the biography of this person (at least covering more than one aspect of his life) has been the focus of multiple (as in 2+) reliable sources. Nevertheless, some hold the view that if the person has been involved in doing something outstandingly notable, then we need not be finicky about the scope of his biography.
Hope this answers your call for suggestion. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 15:41, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted your edit. The orphan tag doesn't look very nice; I'd rather you did something to actually improve the article. FWIW, some people really frown upon the automated addition of such tags when nothing else is done to the article. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 12:55, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- I see that common sense actually agrees with policy, in Wikipedia:AWB#Rules_of_use item 4. Adding orphan tags and an empty line is, in my opinion, "insignificant or inconsequential". Please refrain from using AWB if all you're doing is adding such tags. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 13:37, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

- Nice fake argument there. I don't own anything at all. Your refusal to actually address the matter at hand forces you to sidetrack, but it doesn't take away from the fact that adding AWB to add a useless orphan tag is useless. And I didn't say you can only make useless edits: I'm just looking at this one. Now, you could have just looked into the matter and said "OK", and we wouldn't be doing this.
