Iroquois Class Destroyer Article
Hi! With regards to the change I made to the Iroquois Class Destroyer page..
I changed the reference to HMCS Huron having been "decommissioned" to having been "paid off" on 31 Mar 07, because Canadian Naval ships (and those of most Commonwealth navies) are not decommissioned. When Canadian ships reach the end of their career, they are paid off and sent for disposal.
This is even reflected in the article on HMCS Huron itself.
Thank you,

Your request for rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/df/Wikipedia_Rollback.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollback.svg.png)
Hi RA0808/Archives2011/June. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 03:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

IT is NOT unconstructive for to describe opinion
Happy st patricks day —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.193.141.181 (talk) 04:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm afraid that Wikipedia is a place for facts and not personal opinions, therefore your edit(s) were unconstructive. If you are looking for somewhere to voice your opinion, please go elsewhere on the internet. RA0808 (talk) 04:24, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Black Breath (band)
Hello RA0808. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Black Breath (band), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Signed by an established label, assertion of notability. Consider PROD. Thank you. Ale_Jrbtalk 19:53, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Vandalism
Cease threatening users who are making good faith and factually accurate edits with blocks. Continue to do so and you will be blocked from editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.226.38 (talk) 03:13, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- I find your edits do not fall under the umbrella of good faith, and consist solely of personal opinions. Therefore, your edits are not constructive to Wikipedia. If you feel the need to report me to the administrators for "threatening" you, please feel free, but they will see that I am a well established user with a history of constructive reverts and being a productive member of this project

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/ElectroIN_Label (Morozzz22 (talk) 02:44, 11 April 2010 (UTC))
Dear RA0808, tell me how can I add a website address in my page http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/ElectroIN_Label because I've add the External link chapter and there wrote my website addrees, On this method many pages here exist and I've add normally, but now I dont know why everytime my page have this problems, please, If you will not complicate, help me to To finish my page normally.
Thanks:)
Best regards, Levon Atayan
- Well Levon, the problem is that your link is a MySpace link, which are generally avoided on Wikipedia, as noted in the Wikipedia external link guidelines. However I have to ask, do you work for ElectroIN Label? RA0808 (talk) 03:04, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Dear RA0808, I didnt find the page how can I reply on your message that's why I open a new talk section.
- I not so understand in the wikipedia codes and I create an information about label as I can. If you can help me, to modify page as it is necessary I'll be grateful:)
- About Myspace link, I find now in labels lists, near the name of my label the other labels name, where are many myspace links (for ::example http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Electric_Honey_(label))
- And about the "ElectroIN Label", I'm the owner of this label:)
- Thanks a lot.
- Best regards,
- Levon Atayan
- What I meant is that MySpace links are not banned, but that they are discouraged in most articles. Articles involving musicians or actors ca be exceptions. In your case however, I think that the links are being removed due to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines and this is specified in the previous link I gave you to the external link guidelines, since you own the record label putting link's to your label's MySpace is considered "self promotion" under Wikipedia's rules.
- The reson why Electric Honey (label) has MySpace links is because they were not added by people connected to the project. Additionally, the reason why the electric honey article exists is because it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies and organizations, specifically that "No organization is considered notable except to the extent that independent sources demonstrate that it has been noticed by people outside of the organization" as you can see, they have several independent sources that cover their article. RA0808 (talk) 15:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- Dear RA0808, Thank you for your message, ok, I understand, Let there will be no link on label's page, but it is possible to make so that the page functioned normally? Because now there are no link, but the page is in delete problem.
- P.S. And in general I know many people which firms added here by them, but they dont say that they are connected with this company, I though have told fairly :)
- Thank you again:)
- --81.16.3.104 (talk) 23:10, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm assuming this is you again Levon. Please log in to respond to talk messages to avoid confusion next time.
- To preserve your page, you need to find specific references to your label in independent sources, as stated in the notability guidelines for companies and organizations as I quoted above, "No organization [or corporation] is considered notable except to the extent that independent sources demonstrate that it has been noticed by people outside of the organization. If you can find independent sources that reference ElectroIN Label, then the article can be preserved by adding references to these independent sources and fulfilling the notability guidelines. If not, then I'm sorry but there's nothing else to do so the article will be deleted. RA0808 (talk) 02:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

RE:Pusa Polytechnique
Dear sir, you left a reply on my talk page in which you welcomed me to Wikipedia and also stated that the changes I made to pusa polechnique has been reverted.I would like to mention that I have not made any changes to that page and have never seen that page before.[[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.177.10.42 (talk) 16:37, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
- Apologies for my late reply. In response to your message, while you may not have edited the page someone with your IP address did make a nonconstructive edit to Pusa Polytechnic. Depending on the way your Internet Service Provider assigns these addresses, said person may not be you or even a user of your computer, the address could be assigned simply on a user-by-user basis. I hope this helps, and enjoy your time on Wikipedia. RA0808 (talk) 03:33, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Our firm is helping SeaburyWestern Theological Seminary with its technology and the client asked me to update their page. Seabury is alive, well, financially healthy and graduating students (it helps to be able to sell buildings and get alot of money in return). This old entry says otherwise. What is the protocol to get this text edited so that it is correct and so that it sticks?
Thanks!
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.192.90.132 (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
- Mr. Moran,
- I reverted your edit to the page because they are exactly the same as the text on Seabury's website. You are, of course, welcome to contribute to the page but you should closely read the Conflict of Interest Guidelines as your firm is contracted to the subject of the article. Additionally, you may want to read the help article about editing articles.
- Please remember that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or showcasing, so if your do choose to contribute absolutely ensure that your articles are written in a neutral point of view
- For now, I have marked the article as outdated and in need of editing. I suggest that you update the article regarding the status of Seabury (Were some/all buildings acquired by Northwestern U.? Why did it stop accepting students in 2008?) as I'm sure you're more familiar with it than I am. After reading the guidelines I suggested above, then you could work at adding other sections to the article.
- P.S. Please remember to sign posts on talk pages with four tildes ("~~~~") RA0808 (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

warning
Blindly reverting an IP without actually looking at the edit is massively unconstructive. I can't be bothered to look through your other recent reverts, but be more careful in the future. → ROUX ₪ 00:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
- I realize now, on closer inspection, that the use in the sentence was meant to be "genital". I must say that it did, at the time, look like the type of IP vandalism which I find to be incredibly common on Wikipedia, the replacement of single words with "inappropriate" words and explaining them in the edit summary as "fixing typos". That said, thank you for drawing my attention to this error, and you will find that if you had looked at my other recent reverts that I make many constructive vandalism reverts to Wikipedia.

And why? What is the problem? --Kirov Airship (talk) 00:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Speedy deletion templates cannot be removed by the user that created them, only by a registered editor who is not the creator. If you contest the deletion, state your reasons on the article talk page and let the administrators decide. Regards, RA0808 (talk) 00:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Can I ask why it was added? I was almost going to sleep. It wold be deleted for no reason. --Kirov Airship (talk) 00:20, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- Why you are keeping adding it? --Kirov Airship (talk) 00:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
- The speedy deletion template was added because the subject of your article shows no indication of importance. Your article was marked so by another editor, Doomgaze, so you will have to ask him why they found your article to meet the speedy deletion criteria.
- I am re-adding the notice because it is against the rules for you (the article's creator) to remove the templates, as I mentioned in my first response. Regards, RA0808 (talk) 00:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello,
I had a revision to the page for Oak Ridge High School removed because I erroneously removed cited information from the article; however, the information cited is from 2005 and immediately paints the school in a negative light. From my understanding Wikipedia expects unbiased, neutral entries, and I find it disheartening for a high school's first paragraph in an "encyclopedia" to read "The school has been rated as a D or F institution by the state since 2000" without elaboration on the rating or citing information concerning the rating and the school's efforts to increase it.
While the information is accurate, comparable schools in the same county do not have the same grading information listed on their pages in the same manner, though it is just as widely available as the information cited for this school, which is obviously unfair.
A better option is for the information to be placed elsewhere on the page, away from the introduction which will render the tone of the article neutral, as Wikipedia and those who use the service expect. I'm sure the students of this school would greatly appreciate their learning environment captured in a kinder manner online.
Please assist,
Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.205.10.169 (talk) 00:17, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
- Please realize that I only reverted your edit because you did not cite a reason for removing the statements from the article. Additionally, the removal of said content would be violating Wikipedia's policy of neutrality as you would be removing information from a reliable outside source.
- If you feel the information should be moved to another section of the article, then please feel free to do so! Editing on Wikipedia is open to all.
- Thank you and enjoy your time on Wikipedia! RA0808 (talk) 21:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: Kaleigh Kennedy (PROD removal)
I noticed you removed my prod from Kaleigh Kennedy with an edit summary of "correcting some typos". Was that intentional? (obviously your allowed to, just checking in light of the edit summary) Monty845 19:01, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry about that! I didn't mean to remove it, I was fixing some annoying typos. Feel free to restore the PROD. RA0808 (talk) 19:04, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
Dear RA0808 do not attempt to delete my page. The artist is very notable and if you delete it your showing that you want to vandalize society of art, expression and freedom. I would advise not to be biased and respects punks and especially homelesses. Sincerely with love KurtTheHomeless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KurtTheHomeless (talk • contribs) 01:51, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- Your article was nominated for deletion because it meets the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, not because I hold a "bias" towards punks and the homeless. Your article fails to establish the notability for the subject, and as such it can be deleted under criteria A7 of the Criteria for Speedy Deletion. I am simply following Wikipedia's basic policies, and I suggest you do the same.
- Additionally, calling/implying that other Wikipedia editors are racists or Nazis will not help your case for creating an article. I suggest that you adopt a less militant attitude. Regards, RA0808 (talk) 02:07, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
- I am not a fan of putting in own space because then the public will have a less likely chance of discovering this art and may turn to something that's significantly less authentic (i.e. Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber) Wikipedia should also exist for discovery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KurtTheHomeless (talk • contribs) 02:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Re: Democracy
In today's world, RA0808, democratic systems truly leave poor peoples unattended, while capitalism allows for the rich to get richer, and the poor are actually stopped from making material progress, if they are not thrown back down from the ladder of social layers.

- While I admit that I am no expert on political systems, Wikipedia is not a soapbox for airing your views on democracy. Articles must be balanced and maintain a neutral point of view on all topics, especially those concerning politics or current events.
- Also, I wouldn't call myself anonymous. One look at my userpage tells you: where I'm from, my personal views, my favourite anime and videogames, and even my sexual orientation.

thanks for sticking your nose in but Farix started it when I got some titles from off the track sources. I do not read Japanese so I have to rely on people who do and so far they've been 80-90% on the mark. I've been the only one adding things to this list for months now...I've seen other lists that do exactly whAt I'm doing with ongoing series. I'm willing to discuss it with him but only if he leaves my work alone which he is not willing to do. Darkcat1 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:50, 7 June 2011 (UTC).
- Look DarkCat1, I'll be honest with you. TheFarix behaviour is correct in this situation, and it is you who is being disruptive.
- Allow me to explain, here on Wikipedia we have policies regarding the reliability of sources (for example this one which states (and I quote) "because the encyclopedia portion [of Anime News Network] is user-edited, that information is not reliable by Wikipedia standards". Additionally the Wikipedia verifiability policy states that "threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth...material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, [and is] not whether editors think it is true." and I'm afraid that fansubs are not considered a reliable source. The "other articles" that you mentioned are most likely using reliable sources and if they are not will soon be corrected.
- Now on to the larger problem, you have now begun to edit war with TheFarix over this page and I highly reccomend you stop know and attempt to establish a consensus. I will go to the page and "comment out" the addition you made (meaning that it is still there as you left it but just made invisible) and you should ask TheFarix to have a calm discussion with you. Once you have reached a consensus, you can act upon it.
- Please note that continuing to edit war is a violation of Wikipedia policies and will lead to a permanent block. Regards, RA0808 (talk) 03:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

- he gets an award and I get banned. No justice. I'm sorry but to be fair both sides of a dispute must be treated equally thank you. Also I checked TV ashi which through a bad Google translation confirms my titles. to me your definition of "verifiable" on wikipedia is a joke. Wikipedia is a collection of useless trivia penned by millions of users based on off the beat info by it's very definition.

- He's already reverted again, which I've field a Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring notice on. —Farix (t | c) 03:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- You were blocked (not banned) for edit warring (not waiting to achieve consensus and violating the three revert rule) and making personal attacks against another editor (I don't think that calling someone an "idiotic wiki nazi" is anything but a personal attack, and I felt he deserved the award for maintaining a civil attitude after such a blatant attack). I would definitely say that breaking some of the core policies of this project is grounds for a short block.
- Additionally, I'm sorry that you disagree with Wikipedia's verifiability policies but it is one of the core content policies. These policies are in place to PREVENT Wikipedia from becoming "a collection of useless trivia penned by millions of users based on off the beat info" (as you said). If you disagree with the core policies of Wikipedia, then may I remind you that Wikipedia is not compulsory and you are free to leave at any time. Regards, RA0808 talkcontribs 21:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't disagree but I do disagree with Farix for not helping me at all ad spelling out what sources he will accept(the "my way or the highway" idiocy). I'm sorry I get mad sometimes(i'm very sorry for any personal attacks because this was wrong.) and I can't read Japanese so I rely on secondary translation sources like fans and fansubbers that probably came from Toei's(they make Suite Precure) website originally or perhaps a Japanese TV schedule. Also your FAQs are so full of double talk I can't understand them at all....The only help I got was: Point at long winded and unintelligible FAQs and by the way you're doing it again. I tried to read those but they just made my head spin. Wikipedia should be about people helping people with things they are not sure of no "It's not my problem so I'll delete you correct info because it's not my job to help you find the right source which equals delete instead of "oh this looks good so I should help out the poor fellow but soucing it and actually add something"". It should be your job to help...not delete things because you don't understand them. I've already proved that I'm correct on one of the two disputed titles by using the website of the TV network that airs the show in Japan...although Google translate is 100% bad..I'm sure the second title is correct by Toei animation as well but I have no way of proving this without a Japanese translator which I really request if you have one. At the very least the title for 19 will be proven correct by the preview of 18 winch airs in 1-2 days in Japan and be posted on the TV network's website. This goes back to my main problem with Farix's policy: Because the episode has not aired we can't know the title. This is 100% wong when it comes to any TV show as producers often map out episode titles during production and in the case of anime they are announced at the very least one episode in advance for the title at least(previews must not be used for episode summaries but are fine for getting the title of the next episode)...and maybe more if they are posted to the maker's website.

Re: WGMU-CA
why when I correct incorrect false information about a business I own do you revert back to the false information?
I do not understand how you can insist false information be retained. part of it is slanderous as well.
this makes zero sense so I would appreciate a response as to why I cannot correct information that is false and or incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cecholdings (talk • contribs) 20:49, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

RA0808, the edit you reverted 10 days ago was actually a cleanup. Section "Ratification" stood twice, the second time slightly longer than the first time (obviously a rewrite that mistakenly duplicated the text). I just deleted the shorter version again. Arthur (talk) 01:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

RE Rory McIlroy
It seems that everytime I try to edit Rory McIlroys Nationality to Irish and add his partners name...It gets reverted.
Why?
Wiki is suppossed to be a reliable source of information, and people like me who try and make a decent contribution, only to have it get reverted back is irratating.
Rory McIlroy is IRISH, and on his Wiki "Profile" it says Northern Ireland, which isn't even a nationality; It's a place! Why should wiki be allowed to misinform?
His partner is Called Holly Sweeney; I put that there too as a contribution, and that he has NO children. But i'll just leave my contributions to wiki to myself since they don't mind giving misinformation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chipkin9 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
- Chipkin9, I have no feelings in either direction of this dispute. I reverted your most recent edit because (and only because) you changed his nationality to read "Wiki is a ridiculous source of information, Rory Mcilroy is IRISH, yet when you try and edit it from "Northern Ireland" which ISN'T even a nationality, but a place, then it get reverted back to Northern Ireland. His partner is Called Holly Sweeney; I put that there too as a contribution, but i'll just leave wiki to it since they don't mind giving misinformation". You are going against Wikipedia's policy of consensus as there had already been a discussion on how his nationality is to be described on the talk page, if you disagree then you are free to say so on the talk page.
- Additionally, you need to provide a citation for his partner and/or children as per Wikipedia's policy on reliable sources. Hope this helps! RA0808 talkcontribs 17:32, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
why the warning about the pentagram map edit?
Dear RA0808,
Today, after spending about 12 hours editing the pentagram map wiki, I discovered to my surprise that I was issued several warnings about vandalizing the page. I would like to try to clear myself of those accusations, and explain the situation.
I am the originator of the pentagram map, having introduced it in a published 1992 mathematics article. Since that time, over the past 19 years, I have written several articles about it. There is a small community of mathematicians who are interested in this mathematical object, and I am in close contact with most of them.
Prior to my edits, my collaborators and I found the wiki page to be both sketchy and inaccurate. Indeed, at the top of the page there was a comment to the effect that the page needed cleaning up. My collaborators and I all agreed that an authority needed to clean up the article. I decided to do this today.
Every one of the edits I made is supported by references to the published mathematics articles that are listed in the reference section at the bottom of the page. I did remove some information from the page that existed prior to my edits, but this information was essentially irrelevant to the topic and out of place on the page.
I am not sure if I am still under suspicion of vandalism, but I would like to clear my name, so that in the future I can still edit wikipedia pages. I love wikipedia and I agree entirely with what seems to be its central mission of disseminating accurate, useful, and well-referenced information. I was editing the pentagram map page today entirely in that spirit.
Best Wishes, RichardEvanSchwartz Chancellor's Professor of Mathematics Brown University http://www.math,brown.edu RichardEvanSchwartz (talk) 02:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Mr. Schwartz,
- Thank you for drawing my attention to this error. After closer examination it does seem that I and several other editors perhaps reacted too quickly in dismissing your edits as vandalism. I apologize for this confusion, as you were only working to improve the article, and hope that this has not ruined your perception of Wikipedia editors and the project as a whole.
- You, as I have seen already, have removed theses erroneous messages from your page and you can rest assured that you may continue to edit and improve Wikipedia without further disruption.
- Once again, I apologize for this error. Regards, RA0808 talkcontribs 18:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Dear RA0808,
- Thanks for the apology. I have to say that my experience with wikipedia editors has been almost uniformly bad. Today another editor, Asher186, hastily removed some pictures I had created and uploaded, because I had not licensed them properly. Rather than warn me, Asher168 simply eliminated the pictures, causing me (an inexperienced wiki writer) to waste a fair amount of time fighting to get them restored.
- I wish that the wiki administrators, or other people who take it upon themselves to police the system, would show some restraint and discernment, especially when dealing with an article in a specialized field.
- If I didn't really love wikipedia and think it was one of the greatest resources on the internet, I probably would just leave in disgust. As it is, I'll keep going and try to improve my editing style and skills so that they don't set off alarms.
- RichardEvanSchwartz (talk) 19:12, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I'm sorry my image removal was so traumatic for you. All you had to do was add a license to your images and re-add them the article, which you did, and within an hour of my removing them. Don't feel picked on. I was patrolling the newly uploaded images and removing unlicensed images from articles.--Asher196 (talk) 21:23, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
