This edit had some good elements, but it moved the dates to the start of the sentence which makes for awkward reading. See WP:PROSELINE and please consider changing those parts back. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:12, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
- The article seems to suffer heavily with this issue but if anything helps, I've gone and rewritten the Hollow Bodies section. I may revisit this article for more copyediting and fixing of this issue. Insulam Simia (talk ·contribs) 20:07, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Port Angeles
I really need your help adjusting the port angeles page it is not neutral point of view, how can you agree that it is neutral please help me make the appropriate edits and quit calling me a vandal. I am very disappointed in the wikipedia editors, and how much trouble I am having trying to remove damaging info. How do you think putting info like that is neutral ,and in the big picture of things how do you think that will make the world a better place. Many other towns do not have this awful information posed while they have the same or worse problems. So . . . help me out here. 65.243.151.219 (talk) 16:29, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
- Other stuff exists - other town articles do not have this info because nobody has written about it yet. The content that you attempted to place it with was not neutral either. The facts are backed with a reliable source. And I have never directly called you a vandal.Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 16:47, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring on Clare Bowen
I do not feel Soundofair's changes are blatant vandalism. Once notified, the editor made an effort to explain their changes. In my opinion, everything beyond this is pure edit warring by all participants, especially since no effort was made to resolve the dispute on the associated talk page. Please see WP:ROLLBACK, which states the rollback right should not be used by any means in edit wars. — MusikAnimal talk 18:20, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
- Please excuse my mistake. I did not, in the past, read that section correctly and thus followed the rule at the top of the section ("[...] where the reason for reverting is absolutely clear") which in my interpretation of the guideline means that once a revert has been explained, I may use rollback at any time if the user does not engage in discussion and/or blindly storms ahead in reverting (narrowly construed).Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 18:31, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
- No worries, I'm not questioning your good intentions, and again this is all my interpretation. I merely noticed the editor'svalid reasoning that the supplied sources were inaccurate, to some degree I agree with, but other removed sources (such as TV Guide) appeared to reliable. A dubious template would have been best – and a talk page discussion – but new users don't know to do this. At any rate, logging out to circumvent impending blocks and continuing to edit war is clearly disruptive. I've added the IP to the edit war discussion. Cheers — MusikAnimal talk 19:00, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
Date changing vandal
Since he apparently has a dynamic IP, blocking each one won't do much good. It's probably best to just semi-protect his usual targets instead. Let me know (or WP:RFPP) if you see pages he returns to multiple times and we'll get them protected. Mark Arsten(talk) 16:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Probably also best to protect ITV Meridian, ITV Weather, ITV Yorkshire, Carlton Television, Risingson, Inertia Creeps, Mezzanine (album) and well, many more (this one is a real bugger). Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 16:25, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Would you please confirm that you registered this same name at Uncyclopedia, as one motive for doing so was to object to the incriminating mention of your name there by an anonymous user and possible vandal? Thanks. Spike-from-NH (talk) 15:55, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

"Usurpation" on frwiki
Hello,
I have renamed your account "Insulam Sinia" to "My name is not dave". Is that what you wanted us to do? You were not very clear. Do not forget to merge your accounts again. Litlok (talk) 16:09, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, this is correct. Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) (formerly Insulam Simia) 16:10, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
AIV reports
I've turned down two of your reports already. I don't understand the whole "Automatically reporting user whom edits were reverted multiple times and who was warned by at least 1 user" thing. First of all, "whom" should read "whose" (and how is this "automatic"?). Second, those reverts and warnings have to be recent. In the case of 64.40.89.98 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), there wasn't a single warning since December 2012, when their last vandal edits took place; their recent vandalism was of the mild kind. Third, you didn't even warn them, never mind the fact that their last warning wasn't even of a very high level and yet you reported them. I urge you to be more careful: you are reporting much too quickly, and without warning. Admins will start simply reverting your reports, since they may well consider them a waste of time. Thank you.Drmies (talk) 16:43, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Point all garbled grammar issues to User:Petrb (in fact, I'll make a merge request to the github repo to change that) - I'm testing the new Huggle 3, of which seems to be tracking the last edit before the vandal edits. Until this is fixed, be assured I won't be using this again for reverting vandalism. Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) (formerly Insulam Simia) 16:56, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Well, whatever it is it seems to be looking waaaaay in the past for IP editors in an unsophisticated manner. Drmies (talk) 17:02, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- It's not unsophisticated, it's just in development. See this thread (don't trust the image, there has been a lot more added in 8 days). Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) (formerly Insulam Simia) 18:04, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Nandana Sen Page
Hello, I see that the Education section was deleted. I have put it back and have letters from Harvard University to confirm the content. How can I send these to you? Thank you, Amy Price
Amy.marie.price (talk) 12:10, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- No need, you can cite it with more accessible sources that are cited already. You can upload the (scanned, I shall assume) certificates toWikimedia Commons yourself but a web search shows that you can reference these sort of things easier (it is also inappropriate to cite "A family member emailed certificates to me" - reliable sources must be published). The IP who removed the section appeared to have made a mistake in removing the section; I conclude this because he used a new editing system to edit Wikipedia called VisualEditor that, like anything new, is having teething problems (a couple of days ago this software was changed back to opt-in, so this has less chance of happening again).

Your E Fuller Torrey comment
I'm not sure what you are talking about, since I am just trying to update the beginning of the E Fuller Torrey entry. I'm sorry if I changed anything on the actual page, rather than my sandbox; that was not my intention.Wikiwonderwhy101 (talk) 15:33, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, my laptop touchpad has developed a mind of its own and decided to unwarrantably click and highlight things. Please ignore the message.Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) (formerly Insulam Simia) 15:36, 1 October 2013 (UTC)
No problem.
Perhaps it is fortuitous that you contacted me. I need help adding a paragraph to E Fuller Torrey. After a lot of work, since I am inexperienced at using templates, I added the paragraph, and someone deleted it--and my two carefully-formatted references--without leaving any contact info that I could see.
I am going to add something like: Fuller has appeared on national radio and television, perhaps most notably CBS News in late September 2013, [1] where he perpetuated the idea that untreated mental illness is routinely responsible for mass shootings in the US. Nevertheless, most scientific evidence, including an American study published four weeks before Fuller's controversial appearance, indicates that mental illness does not cause violence. [2]
What if this person deletes it again? This is just a heads-up that I'll return in that case!
Thanks in advance for your help, if I need it. Wikiwonderwhy101 (talk) 17:11, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
- Yes - User:FreeKnowledgeCreator deleted your paragraph. He said in his edit summary that your 'tendentious edits' are questionable underWP:BLP - and I agree slightly. Your edits were not exactly neutral and are potentially controversial (I have just noticed that he explained this already on the article's talk page - [1]).

Opting in to VisualEditor
As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 100 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable
". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:20, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Would you like helping me install Huggle 3 Beta
Hello! I'm having issues installing Huggle 3 Beta, since your currently testing it, would you like to help me? When I build it using QT Creator I get errors. I'm more of a visual learner I use videos or descriptive text/steps when doing something. ///EuroCarGT 20:21, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, well I couldn't really help you with descriptive text or a video as both of my computers that I own don't run Windows (Ubuntu only - I was only running Huggle 2 today on my grandfather's computer), so some steps might be different. What sort of errors are you getting? Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) 20:35, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
- Here:

- Are any there any auto-detected compilers there? If there is, you should probably locate the path of where MinGW was installed, then edit the path that is specified in Qt Creator in the right direction. If there isn't, then you should go to Add > MinGW and add the compiler path to 'Compiler path'. Ignore the options about 'Codegen path' and 'Linker path' and also - well, I don't know what the ABI would be on Windows.Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) 21:44, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Pre-Code Hollywood
The article is extremely biased and has too much reverse racism, it actively promotes hate and divisions of peoples. There is much more to be said here than the continuing topic of racism in most every section. Why do you keep reverting the article? it is currently the year 2013, the United States has an African American President there is more racism now than the era I grew up in!
- The text removed is sourced, so I would question its non-neutrality - unless, of course, you have the source with you and you can confirm that it is biased thus rendering it inappropriate. Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs)17:16, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
--
in a little more plain English please, I am a new user and you mine as well be speaking a foreign language to me with this tech talk. Please explain so I may understand how to have my edits accepted. I came here to read about Hollywood in the 30's not the continuing theme of racism. Thanks
- You know you removed the stuff inside that <ref> tag (the thing after the offending text - it had an author's surname and page name in it - see this diff for an example)? Well that's the reference for the text - it's used to verify the claim that you removed. Now, unless you have the book referenced there (calledHollywood's Censor: Joseph I. Breen and the Production Code Administration) and can confirm that it is heavily biased, the text will stay, as it is verified. Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) 17:28, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

ok I see... so I just need to go get a book from a more neutral author unlike this "Doherty" character... who is obviously;y a biased and controversial writer from CANADA of all places! an Atheist actively promoting hate and divisions writing about a nation he is not even a citizen of! I will use the library of congress to source my edits! I am tired of this on Wiki! everywhere you go! this place is trash anymore... nothing is accurate. I will have my edits accepted THIS IS IT! I am sick and tired of this... and I will make this little issue the beginning of my quest to re-validate wiki the trash alternate history encyclopedia.
is there a page somewhere that I can read about how to go about getting a proper edit accepted on Wiki? something more neutral from authorized texts.
- Calm down - you misunderstood. I didn't say that the source was biased, I said that if you can confirm that the source was biased then you can have your way. If you can't, then it's a no go. Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs)17:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

I will prove it, this "source" which is overly used here has two book I think credited to his name, the article I keep editing didn't even lead to the correct source I had to search it on google. In 2005 Doherty was awarded a World Fantasy Award in the "Lifetime Achievement" category. note the Science Fiction and Fantasy...
how did this ever even get in the article on Pre-Code? what is it doing there? he is the only person to my knowledge so fa and from searching google to even write the non existent titling of a category which does not exist called " Exotic Adventure Film"
something has to change... who wrote this article? how do I find out the original writer of this article? where did it come from?
I appreciate your help.
there we go! how was that? I took the source from the same author and the main Wiki article...
- Hmm, okay then, that should be fine. Mynameisnotdave(talk/contribs) 18:42, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GeorgeLouis. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Richard Alatorre without explaining why.

If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!

Women scientists
Hi Insulam. I saw your reverts in a certain article about a female scientist. I thought you might want to have a look at Richard Nevell (WMUK)'s talk page history. There is a certain connection between all those posts today and the edit patterns of the users. Many of the accounts are created today. All edit in articles about female scientists. Sophia Jex-Blake and Mill Hill East are two string I have seen several times on their user pages. The edits in articles are a bit above my level, i.e. to the common patroller could look legit. Please forgive me if my give unfounded cause to concern here. Best, Sam 🎤 16:49, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

I will take it on board on what you're saying, but I'm being perfectly honest with you that it was an accident and a misunderstanding. I don't appreciate you calling it vandalism when it was an accident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The25City (talk • contribs) 17:38, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

IMESC CSD
Hello, I appreciate your concern over my new page. You nominated it for speedy deletion on the basis that it did not prove its worthiness of inclusion in an encyclopedia and its brevity. However, this nomination occurred much prior to the completion of the article which is why I believe you received a wrong first impression. I invite you to review the page once more. CSD is an ugly tag to have and so I hope you can empathize over my urgency to correct this error. Thank you. F.ali214 (talk) 20:43, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- I have removed the tag - it no longer qualifies for A7 criteria. Insulam Simia (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant
Your reverting of an addition by a new editor, who had taken the trouble to get themselves a name in order to edit, was a bit heavy handed. The [citation needed] tag is still usable, I suppose? The ship the name of which was added is on the list of vessels that took part, and is therefore referenced. It's just a bit hard for a new editor to know that. Much easier for an experienced editor to have a quick look at the way in which all all the other named vessels are referenced and apply the same. You're an experienced editor.
- I meant to make the point that there was absolutely nothing dodgy or suspicious about what the editor did. Nothing indicated vandalism, spam or anything other than additional information, that was plainly important to somebody.
Amandajm (talk) 13:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. I'm deciding to mostly move away from STiki and revert back to poking things out from recent changes, so I'm not that reckless when reverting. Whenever I see (what appears to be) unsourced content on STiki I almost feel obliged to revert it and this is obviously causing problems. Insulam Simia (talk) 15:34, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Insulam Simia, However you come across the addition of unsourced material (STiki, recent changes etc.) please don't revert purely for being unsourced. Two things people sometimes forget about are Google and the {{Citation needed}} tag. Going into more detail, I would recommend something like this:
- Blatently untrue and also deliberately offensive - revert as vandalism
- Blatently untrue but not deliberately offensive - good-faith revert
- Not sure whether it is true - Google it
- Google shows its untrue - good-faith revert
- Google shows it is true - leave it in. Consider adding a citation if Google has found a reliable source
- Google fails to clarify the situation. Consider if it is damaging to a living person:
- Damaging to a living person - remove it, possibly mentioning WP:BLP in the edit summary
- Not damaging to a living person - leave it in but add a {{Citation needed}} tag
- Blatently true - Leave it in.
- You're pretty sure it is true, based on your own knowledge - either forget about it or see if you can find a source somewhere to support it.
- Obviously, when I say things like "Google shows it is true", this may require a bit of interpretation on your part, depending on what search results Google throws up.
- Yaris678 (talk) 22:22, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
- I should clarify that I stopped using STiki so I would stop seeing unsourced content and stop causing problems. Since unsourced content usually doesn't usually trigger filters, most of the time I don't revert it in recent changes. The only time I do the above is when something pops up in my watchlist that is of interest to me (not just something that Twinkle unwarrantably added). Insulam Simia (talk) 06:58, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Mistake?
Wait it looks like you removed my warning template, thats fine with me, but wouldn't that be refactoring? or did you mean to remove your own warning template? Prabash.Akmeemana 16:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Kind of. The rollback system didn't inform me about the edit conflict that seemed to of happened, so I assumed my edit went through and yours didn't, so when I saw the warning given by you I thought "too late, I got there first" and removed your notice. I only knew from the diff you just gave me now that you reverted it (with Huggle). Sorry about the confusion. Insulam Simia (talk) 16:23, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thats fine! when I first got rollback, I got confused with the tool. Though it is a useful admin tool that only a few users have, 2000 users out of 19 million total users have it (at least I think) there could be be a bit more.

Justice at Stake Campaign
Insulam Simia, Thank you for your feedback on my page. I am new to Wikipedia and confess I was unaware of the importance of creating summaries of the changes I had made. In fact, by deleting the content, I was attempting to make the organization's page more neutral in accordance with Wikipedia's neutrality guidelines. In addition, there was a great deal of information on the page that did not relate to the organization directly. The edits to the page were not vandalism nor should they be interpreted as such. If there is any way that you could restore the edits to the page, I would greatly appreciate it. If there is anything else that I should do, please let me know.

Creationism
Dear Insulam,
They didn't give me a box like they normally do to explain why. The information that was on the page was highly biased towards evolution and not objective. It claimed that Creationism was pseudoscience and not based on science. In reality, evolution and creationism are both based on observations coming from a different viewpoint. Neither creationists nor evolutionists were there to see what really happened.
The basis of this article should be definitive, not biased, and by using terms such as pseudoscience...it is no longer keeping with that objective. I can find sources anywhere to say anything on the internet, but many are severally biased. Just because they provide a biased source doesn't mean they are accurate. The point of Wikipedia is to keep the material objective. This is why I deleted the "crap" that comes from a biased viewpoint.

Nandana Sen Page
I have been employed by Ms Sen to update the many erroneous statements and missing facts on her page. Please can you guide me, as you undid about 3 hours of my work!
In her Education section: do you really need transcripts from Harvard? I can provide these, which also document her various awards whilst at Harvard. This seems to me very extreme, but I will comply if necessary.
I can put the various links to her published articles and interviews in the References section? Is this OK?
You have also removed various references to films and TV series that Ms Sen has acted in. I can provide links to IMDb to prove her participation? There are also many internal Wikipedia links that will substantiate my additions.
Thank you for your help,
Amy Price
Amy.marie.price (talk) 09:37, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- If you have been employed by Ms. Sen, then I recommend you stop editing immediately. Wikipedia strongly discourages paid editing. I can apply the edits myself though (yes, it would be helpful if you could provide links or books sources etc. to the Harvard transcripts as we are very strict on verifability for living people), but I would have to remove a lot of what you added and proposed, including:
- The links. Unless they are somehow useful for referencing, they will be removed.
- Some parts of the text you have reworded show the classic problem with conflict of interests. They sound non-neutral and/or promotional (in this instance, a lot of peacock terms and a very promotional and unsourced controversy section - I have never seen a controversy section so supportive and postive).
- The reference in the personal section is by my standard and probably the community's standard a reliable source. Therefore - it will be kept.
- The info about films will be removed, unless you can find refs from the relevant film pages that can prove Nandana starred in that film. IMDB is not a reliable source, nor is Wikipedia itself.
- All I need now is the links or the book ISBN of the Harvard transcripts and I can start reworking.
- Thanks, Insulam Simia (talk) 12:02, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Well, I am not employed specifically to do this Wikipedia work - I work for the Sen family as a personal assistant. Who else would they trust to update these sensitive pages? I have now informed Nandana Sen that my hours devoted to this project will be pro bono.
I apologize, but I am confused about your request for an ISBN for Nandana's University transcripts? American universities do not publish their students grades as books! A transcript is a list of the courses and grades received, and the final graduating GPA of the student. I can provide a scanned copy of Nandana's transcripts and her graduation diploma? I can also request that Harvard sends a copy directly to you. However, I would need an email or a postal address for you. Do you ask this of every person listed in Wikipedia when their educational history is mentioned??
I will send the links to the relevant film pages.
I must admit that I find this present process inherently flawed. You state that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Yet, you demand that it contains reliable sources. However, what you take for a reliable source in itself contains no reliable sources. This article that you insist upon keeping - http://in.omg.yahoo.com/news/nandana-mantena-part-ways-theyll-team-film-122916557.html - where are the citations or reliable sources here? If all of the Wikipedia film pages that show Nandana as an actor are NOT reliable sources, why does Wikipedia allow them to exist?
Yours sincerely,
Amy.marie.price (talk) 13:19, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry about that. Nevermind though, I found something which says she attended Harvard. And yes, we do. We have a very strict policy for biographies of living persons.
- And in answer to your query, well, unlike Wikipedia, it's because that article can't be edited by everyone so not many bad things slip through. We do have a problem of bad quality control on Wikipedia, but bear in mind that we are all volunteers working on a project and we do not work until sweat is pouring from our armpits; we don't have an official QA team and we aren't magicians either. A lot of bad things slip through (especially on India-related pages in fact - unsourced content everywhere, badly formatted content). I only chased your edit up because it triggered the edit filter, which tagged it as "Possible BLP issue or vandalism" (your edit is clearly not vandalism though). I saw this on my recent changes patrol and decided to investigate your edit.
- My area of expertise is mostly music articles (specifically heavy metal music and electronic music), where there is a general high level of quality since some of the related articles are being continuously watched by me and others. (see the level of edits by me on this page and this page - I ensure there is no lowering of quality). Quite a lot of articles are not monitored so intensely.
- Thanks, Insulam Simia (talk) 14:32, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your help. I have now added many citations in the Education and Professional Life section. The Filmography section was already there before I began editing - so do I really need to provide independent proof of Nandana's participation all of those films? I can, of course, but it would be odd as it was not required before.
I also see that you removed the Controversies section. That is fine - but again, most of it was there before I began editing.
I have tried to tone down any subjectivity in the article. I would like to add a few sentences about the reception of Nandana's film and theater work by Indian and international reviewers. Is this ok?
Will these edits enable you to removed the two large exclamation points above the article?
Again, thank you for your patience.
Amy.marie.price (talk) 20:37, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hmm, never mind about citing all the films. I or someone else can do that later. Leave the controversy section alone - unsourced parts like that should be removed on sight, but that never happened. And don't add a critical reception section on the article - if you want to add anything like that, add it on the respective film pages under the reception section (if there isn't there, either don't add anything at all or add info about the general critical reception of the film if you want to) but ensure that anything added about Nandana is small so we don't bump into problems related to undue weight.
- And yes, the templates at the top will be removed. I would also like to remind you that because you have a clear conflict of interest, all your edits will be placed under close scrutiny.

Enslow Publishers
Hi Insulam. I wanted to help out in the Enslow Publishers with a couple of better refs, and turned to Google Books. Would you have any idea of how to filter out books published by Enslow Publishers when you do such a search? Best, Sam 🎤 18:40, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
- Here's a link to some published. In future, you can find a certain publisher by heading to advanced search, where there should be a publisher section. Just add the name of the publisher and relevant search results show up. Insulam Simia (talk) 18:47, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Please look again at this article. There is probably just sufficient notability asserted to make the BLPPROD sufficient.

- I'd admit that since my account creation in May, this is one of my weakest CSD requests. Nevertheless, it's not notable anyway.

- BLPPROD will defeat the article at the end of its period in that case. They just take time. We only discourage autobiographies, you know, not prohibit them.

In this edit, you appear to have deleted two other people's comments. (I've since repaired one, and the poster of the other re-did the other.) If that was a result of an edit conflict or something, this was not the right way to resolve it. —Steve Summit (talk) 16:57, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

- That may be, but the info is sourced. Google Translate translates the top source badly so I find it hard to read; I assume that is an opinion piece.

Hi! I am again. I hope that this official. This is hungarian Wikipedia (I did not edited) you can check. "A Médiahatóság 2013-as döntése[szerkesztés] A Jobbik úgy véli, hogy egyes csatornák megsértették a Médiatörvényt, amely szerint "médiaszolgáltató hírszolgáltatást és politikai tájékoztatást nyújtó műsorszámaiban műsorvezetőként, hírolvasóként, tudósítóként rendszeresen közreműködő munkatársai bármely médiaszolgáltató által közzétett műsorszámban szereplő politikai hírhez véleményt, értékelő magyarázatot - kivéve a hírmagyarázatot - nem fűzhetnek". A Médiahatóság eltiltotta a további jogsértésektől ezeket az adókat, ám ők fellebbeztek a Médiatanácsnál. A Médiatanács ezeket a fellebbezéseket elutasította, így a továbbiakban már pénzbüntetést is kaphatnak ezen médiaszolgáltatók, ha továbbra is szélsőjobboldaliznak. 2013. május 2. után nem nevezhetik szélsőjobboldalinak a Jobbikot a hírműsorok.

Also the fact that Jobbik doesn't like the term 'far-right' is a non-issue; the only thing we need to worry about is content being verified by reliable sources.

This may well argue. If I would not alleged barbaric then I wrote you and I create any number of users to edit the Jobbik was but I want to to demonstrate my truth But the media wants to cut down the reputation of Jobbik. This should be recognized.
- (I am aware of the language barrier but it is really hard to reply to this) Well, I can place in the article that the Jobbik do not want to be called 'far-right'. Insulam Simia (talk·contribs) 20:59, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
Well, you could instead look like this: And please correct the my grammatical errors.
Jobbik, The Movement for a Better Hungary' (Hungarian: Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom), commonly known as Jobbik (pronounced [ˈjobːik]), is a Hungarian radical nationalist[3][4] political party. The party describes itself as "a principled, conservative and radically patriotic Christian party", whose "fundamental purpose" was the protection of "Hungarian values and interests."[5] Jobbik has been described by, different press outlets and its political opponents as fascist,[6] neo-fascist,[7] Neo-Nazi,[8] racist,[9] anti-Semitic,[10] anti-Roma[11] and homophobic.[12] Measured according to its representation in the European Parliamentand theNational Assembly, it is Hungary's third largest party.A many people are generally mistaken for reasonsJobbik Neo-Nazi expressions make him the only national Radicalism . This is not to be confused with each other.

- Not done It isn't sourced and is an opinion. Insulam Simia (talk·contribs) 07:10, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello! I said that it is the self-description of the party so it is an important information. Far-right have an especially bad connotation in Hungary and it nearly equals to fascism. That's why the huwiki uses the more neutral national radicalist as description. It may be true that they are the most far-right party in Hungarian National Assembly (I guess most of the sources use the term that way) but it is still far from fascism or hungarism (according to scholars like Rudolf Paksa: The History of Hungarian Far-right which calls Jobbik populist but not fascist). That's why the Hungarian National Media and Infocommunications Authority prohibited the usage of the word 'far-right' for Hungarian news agencies in their reports about the party. It can be inserted in huwiki that the party is also described as far-right but the self-description shouldn't be removed to stay npov. At least that's how I see things. Laci.d (talk) 20:22, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

VisualEditor blanking see also
Hi IS, for certain the browser list is a tentative link, but Node.js is even in the infobox. If you aren't certain, then why remove the whole see also section? Widefox; talk 07:54, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- Um, let's say I was a bit of an idiot. I didn't look at the article first when removing the see also section and instead used my common sense and lack of knowledge about VE to think "what's Node.js got to do with VE?"
- Though still, Node.js isn't a WYSIWYG editor and is therefore unrelated to the subject. Thanks, Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 09:01, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- That's ok. Are you confusing with visual editor? The VisualEditor software is programmed with Node.js (the server side part), but the link hasn't gone into the article yet. So yes it is part of the article, not even a related article. Widefox; talk 09:27, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- No, I'm not getting confused. I'm just saying that it's probably best that other WYSIWYG editors go into the "see also" section, rather than a component of VE being there. Thanks, Insulam Simia (talk·contribs) 15:22, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- Sure, feel free to put others in. The see also being a staging for links going into the article (which is preferential) is quite normal, don't you agree? I was waiting for a ref, but I've put it in the body now. Widefox; talk 19:33, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
- I disagree. The 'see also' section should not be a host for random links and instead should be used for placing links related to the article (in terms of the subject, not the components/features of it). Thanks, Insulam Simia (talk · contribs) 08:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool update
Hey Insulam Simia. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.
We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.
Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 21:43, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

MCA
The talk item on the MCA page justifies the inclusion of the list of companies. https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:Merchant_cash_advance
This is from 2011 and hasn't been a problem until you decided to remove it.
MCA is not a typical product offered outside the US, and this is a valid section for merchants looking for alternative financing options. Even the author of the talk item acknowledged that the sector is rife with ISO's, resellers looking to syndicate, and predatory lenders that do not offer MCAs.
I understand Wikipedia is not a company directory or an advertising site. If you would rather clarify that the list represents MCA companies that fund their own deals then that would be acceptable, as it would not be advertising but would clarify companies that are actually in the business of originating, funding, and maintaining cash advances.

I am AGAIN reverting your reversions at N Afshan-Jam
I am a serious academic editor, and your reversions—RATHER THAN DISCUSSION IN TALK, WITH PERHAPS LIMITED EDITS—do not have substantial enough Talk and explanation, as required by WP, to allow you to remove blocks of carefully constructed text. IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE SPECIFIC TEXT WITHOUT CITATION, MAKE A NOTE IN TEXT AND WAIT FOR DISCUSSION. If you are really set on removing material without citations—first, my new material should not be removed, because it has citations, and second, to be consistent, you will have to remove very large swathes of the rest of the article. Take it slow; stop exerting authority that is not yours. Be respectful, to others, and the process. If you do not have time to discuss them, you should not be making big edits.

- I might be a hypocrite for saying this, but I'm certainly not guilty of being a hypocrite for saying it (I feel that there is a difference); what a terrible shame it is for you to leave. Your time here is valued, believe it or not, and experience is gained through bad times. I don't feel that NeilN has given you a good job of saying goodbye - he still seems very blunt in his responses to you. Nevertheless, may I recommend Citizendium? It loves people like you - i.e. people who are formally educated in a subject. À bientot, Mynameisnotdave (talk/contribs) 14:59, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for the well wishes. I will do fine, and might return to a role here if some higher level discussions bear fruit. No banter or philosophising in trenches among footsoldiers in the Great War would have allowed the Marne or Somme to have been avoided. The real issues here are a the fact that computational tools allow rapid detection of possible problems, but no such sophistication is applied to ensure that actions taken as a result are accurate to the situation, or truly fair to the individuals involved. The technology of Wikipedia is well out front of the human wisdom required to properly apply it. This fundamental shortcoming and the lack of a truly fair process of adjudication in case of disagreements leads to a capriciousness of process outcomes here (my two blocks, for exactly opposite reasons, being a case in point). No, it will only be through discussions at higher levels, and by bringing pressure from a variety of sources, that there will be any change here. Meanwhile, I will look elsewhere, but likely not Citizendium as it now functions (reasons to be explained later). For you, may I make a personal suggestion? Perhaps, as a discipline, that you never revert an edit without checking the Talk pages? (Identifying edits with issues other than vandalism, and giving them the analysis and discussion they are due?) Had you done this, we would have had a discussion, and not a war. NeilN appears in love with the power associated with rapid action, the control it brings over others, and the affirmation associated with winning (even when wrong, or at least ungracious). You do not display these character weaknesses to his degree. You and I might have worked together on issues, had you been quicker to discuss, slower to revert. (And I will never understand the "He's back" comment and reopening of the Admin discussion, which I squarely place with you; as the second Admin noted, it was this that led to a block long after the reversions had ceased.) But, water under the bridge. As the second Admin also noted, flaws in original decision-making logic and edit process do not matter once reversions start; thereafter, it is all about the counting, and is necessarily political if one editor brings on others (a game which I will not join). Bottom line for me, this flawed system is one that leads to no end of ironic outcomes (mine being among the least), and fixing it is a matter beyond you, and me alone. As I said, it is worthwhile, that I have realized the folly of engaging in such squabbles, and will move on to bigger things. This situation and outcome has given me the conviction and confidence to do so. Cheers, and best wishes. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 15:14, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello My name is not dave. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
