Hello God bless Slavic7 ( talk) 00:23, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
I'm not understanding your active opposition to anything I propose on this. We've worked together well on other issues. Maybe we can reach some kind of agreement on this one. My problem with the current language is that "conservative" and "liberal" mean completely different things in different national/historical contexts and that readers from large chunks of the world will be misled by those orphaned labels, most likely into thinking that Democrats are the free market party in the "liberal" international sense (like the Australian Liberals). Meanwhile "conservatives" can refer to anything from monarchists to theocrats to communists, depending on what part of the world you're in. If we're going to keep "conservative" and "liberal" we need some type of clarifying explanation. What my edit added (to answer your edit summary) was this clarification. Readers from around the planet could see that and go, "Oh, so in America the liberals are the left leaning ones while the conservatives are the center right types" without actually having to use "center left" or "center right" since others objected to those specific terms. I removed the tag because it was added a long time ago by someone for vague, illegitimate reasons (I think they wanted to call Republicans "far right" instead of "conservative" or something inane and partisan like that) and was never connected to an actual talk page section like it was supposed to be. By all rights it should be removed anyway, but I sort of like having it there now since I object to not having some type of ideological explanation there like other important country profile articles do for their politics. Since my concerns would have been addressed, and I've seen no others raised on that segment in months, I figured we could finally delete the tag instead of having "disputed" sitting there permanently. May I ask why you object, and if you'd be willing to reconsider or at least offer an alternative solution? VictorD7 ( talk) 20:42, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Dhtwiki, I accept that some of the information added to the page Cartagena, Colombia, needs some citation, but I added info. in different topics on the page, I think some information might be useful and that info. like main urban avenues have no citation because is local information, however, i'm new here, thank you!

Hi, have you read the Hanbali article? Just a sourced extract from the article: "The Hanbali school was the forerunner of the Wahhabi-Salafist movement.[9] Historically the school was small; during the 18th to early-20th century Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Al Saud greatly aided its propagation around the world.[9]". Also, see this map about Islamic religious schools. I think that with that info its crystal-clear that the members of the Saud royal family are members of that school (Just as the Iranian leaders -Khomeini & Khamenei- are Usuli Twelver Shiites), otherwise that would be stated.-- HC PUNXKID 15:00, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
In the past you've supported using "center-left" and "center-right". Can you please just indicate your acceptance of restoring those terms? That's all I want out of this discussion. People as ideologically diverse as me, TVH, and Golbez all coming together and agreeing on that point is a big deal, a breakthrough long in coming. You'd still be free to push for total deletion and/or other changes, and, since your support would give inclusion an effective consensus at this point, I'd be done messing with that segment and out of your way.

Not even sure how this goes anymore. I hope I'm doing this right. The old memory isn't cranking as well as it was a decade ago. I just went to the Shinobido article and I see that you're the vigilant guardian I wish I could still be on Wikpedia doing this in 2016. I just want to say thank you. My crowning glory on Wikipedia was the "Battle of Red Cliffs" article, but Shinobido was my baby and my pet project.

Hi! I had been looking at the request made by User:CRCulver to change the citation used for the last sentence in the Love of Science and technology section that you had subsequently edited. I reverted an then removed the citation completely. There turns out to be more of a problem than I initially thought. Both the original citation redirected to a film clip of Twain by Edison; neither was a WP:RS and the clip is already available from an image of the first frame of the clip placed in the article lede. That clip is on WikiCommons, but the problem there is that uTube is credited as the source, so there the reader must contend with uTube ads. I placed a list of what I believe the minimum solution as a comment in the Mark Twain talk page (delayed considerably by an edit conflict that through my carelessness deleted my somewhat long post, but it is there in a shortened version. — Neonorange ( talk) 01:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi DHtwiki - I have received your message regarding an article on Chaudhry Naseer Ahmad Malhi which states that I have removed certain content without citing a reason. To begin with, please accept my apologies for not being up to speed with the process on Wikipedia but I will ensure the necessary steps going forward. In particular response to the question on why certain content was removed, please note the email that was sent out on the email address below. I also include the content of the email which explains why the changes were made.
info-en-q@wikimedia.org Dated:May 20th 2016
I write to you with regards to an article published on Wikipedia about Chaudhry Naseer Malhi on the link below. I am Naseer Malhi's grandson.
/info/en/?search=Chaudhry_Naseer_Ahmad_Malhi
While we appreciate the tremendous efforts of Wikipedia to accurately record history and make it available to public, we note an explicit error in the article which despite having corrected myself and requesting correction seems to emerge again.
Chaudhry Naseer Malhi's religion is stated in the article as "Ahmaddi" which is factually incorrect. While his father Chaudhry Ghulam Haider Malhi did extend donations to minorities including Ahmaddis, Christians and Sikhs, Naseer Malhi was never associated to Ahmaddi faith in any capacity. While generally regarded as a liberalist with little inclination towards any particular religion in his life, he considered himself a sunni muslim. Furthermore, his "final rites" and funeral following his death were also performed according to Sunni faith. His associaton to Ahmaddi community therefore seems to be extremely misrepresented.
We, the family, would appreciate if the article is corrected and represents pure facts. We are happy to assist on this matter any further or provide additional details as you may require. I am also happy to provide evidence, if needed, to demonstrate relationship with the subject.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.232.108.180 ( talk) 09:44, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Dhtwiki
I received your message about the removal of recent 'Rosie & Jim' content which was the Video Fun Pack. I only removed it because it was displayed on the same page twice with different dates of release; hence why I removed only that. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.241.249.170 ( talk) 19:03, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo ( talk) 10:11, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, back on Nov 17 2015 you erased my contribution, claiming the review I cited was not from a "necessarily reliable source"? The A.V. Club is a very reputable, prominent entertainment-focused website with an especially well-respected film criticism team whose reviews are consistently used on Metacritic. At least two of their critics, including the one I quoted from - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky - are asked to participate in those prestigious decennial Sight & Sound polls. I don't know how much more legit/reliable you can get. And since the overwhelming number of cited reviews were positive, I thought Vishnevetsky had a worthwhile dissenting opinion, which would have enhanced the section after three paragraphs of unqualified praise. -- Algernon333 ( talk) 17:01, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi Dhtwiki. A referenced link for Further Information is justifiable. Per your deletion that (Misplaced; table is outside timeline for this section) is not accurate. Eleven items fall within 1776-1865 dates. Why the reluctance to give concise information, that is not attainable on the present page (where it belongs)?
I'm trying to get an understanding about the inner workings of Wikipedia. At this point, your deletion seems like edit warring. Is any editor allowed to simply delete based on his/her ideas of what they want on a page. I did not add another table to the page, based on consensus, rather only made reference, so that is outside of the discussion. Your deletion is simply unilateral. Kamel Tebaast 16:20, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
I'm with you on that. But Walter is a good force at moslink, so I don't want to go reverting his revert at this stage. Tony (talk) 08:55, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
My edits to
Distributed file system for cloud fixed the red |chapter=
errors in the citations. If you scroll to the bottom of the article, you should see a bunch of red error messages that indicate that the citations are not displaying as intended. For example, in the citation that begins "Zhang, Qi-fei", the name of the conference proceedings is in quotation marks, then a mangled version of the name of the conference proceedings is in italics, and the name of the paper being cited is missing, with a red error message at the end of the citation indicating that something is wrong.
Changing the citations to {{ cite book}} fixed those problems. I removed the redundant mangled titles and made the paper titles display properly. Cite book seemed appropriate since the sources in question have ISBNs, a feature of books.
Was there something wrong with the resulting formatting? I thought it looked much better when I was done.
Also note that in reverting my edit, you reverted other constructive edits, like adding a missing paper title ("Efficient metadata management in large distributed storage systems"), adding a space between "San Diego," and "CA", and fixing typos like "netowrks". I recommend that you revert your revert and then proceed from there if you want to use a different cite template (like cite conference), otherwise you will have to re-fix all of the content edits that I made. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 14:36, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
|periodical=
parameters held messed up versions of the conference proceedings names, which were correct in |title=
. Here is one citation as an example. Compare the original version:{{
cite journal}}
: |chapter=
ignored (
help); Invalid |ref=harv
(
help); Unknown parameter |layurl=
ignored (
help){{
cite book}}
: Invalid |ref=harv
(
help); Unknown parameter |layurl=
ignored (
help)|title=
parameter holds the name of the conference proceedings, which is incorrectly shown in quotation marks instead of italics. The |periodical=
parameter also holds the name of the conference proceedings, but in an upside-down format. And there is a red error message, which hints at the reason for the name of the paper being missing.Hey, I've noticed that you've removed a couple of items that is informative to the user. Please look up item first in a primary source before changing articles.
Thanks! Seetler ( talk) 16:05, 16 July 2016 (UTC)
I've copy/pasted it into at least other article so far (that on Mason). I am getting old and lazy when it comes to ref formatting. Thanks again. Juan Riley ( talk) 00:00, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

First, the IP edit isn't mine, must be from someone from the same network as I do. I used to monitor Wiki articles too so I know this commonly happens.
You seem to have erroneously reverted an edit that changed "Nueva Ecijanos" to "Novo Ecijanos". However, the latter is actually the correct way to refer to a person living in the province of Nueva Ecija. You can check other sources if you'd like. You might want to rectify your correction. That's all, and thank you for your active contributions to Wikipedia! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.144.207.234 ( talk) 05:59, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
After the retreat, Llanera, Tinio, and other Nueva Ecijano commanders..., where "Nueva Ecijano" may well refer to the province, not the people. If the wording had been "...and other commanders of the Nueva (or Novo) Ecijanos...", then the reference is more certainly to people. Also, introducing the demonym without explaining it might be confusing, and trying to explain it for that one instance is probably unwarranted in such a short article.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter. >>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<< July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever. August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Baghpat, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ghaziabad district. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

About the Ambrose Bierce Wikipedia page, Dhtwiki wrote: "restoring old section title ("Bibliography" -> "Works"), as "bibliography" usually relates to references section and modern scholarship, not the author's own works".
You work with Wikipedia far more than I do, so I'm eager for your ideas to improve my additions. Would you please point out Wikipedia pages of writers in which a "Bibliography" section "relates to references section and modern scholarship, not the author's own works"? I'd be grateful for example pages I can use as models.
I had intended to expand the section listing Bierce's prolific writings and turn the section into a separate "Ambrose Bierce bibliography" Wikipedia page, using these writer pages for guidelines and inspiration:
But perhaps I should rethink my plan. In any case, I will be glad to have any suggestions you might have. Thank you. Vince Emery 21:13, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
... however, "Bibliography" is discouraged because it is not clear whether it is limited to the works of the subject of the article.You have found that it's OK when a separate article is entitled "...bibliography". So, what you intend there doesn't need to be rethought. It seems to me to be just an inconsistency. Dhtwiki ( talk) 21:32, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello everyone, and welcome to the December 2016 GOCE newsletter. We had an October newsletter all set to go, but it looks like we never pushed the button to deliver it, so this one contains a few months of updates. We have been busy and successful! Coordinator elections for the first half of 2017: Nominations are open for election of Coordinators for the first half of 2017. Please visit the election page to nominate yourself or another editor, and then return after December 15 to vote. Thanks for participating! September Drive: The September drive was fruitful. We set out to remove July through October 2015 from our backlog (an ambitious 269 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of oldest articles to just 83. We reduced our overall backlog by 97 articles, even with new copyedit tags being added to articles every day. We also handled 75% of the remaining Requests from August 2016. Overall, 19 editors recorded copy edits to 233 articles (over 378,000 words). October Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 16 through 22 October; the theme was Requests, since the backlog was getting a bit long. Of the 16 editors who signed up, 10 editors completed 29 requests. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. November Drive: The November drive was a record-breaker! We set out to remove September through December 2015 from our backlog (239 articles), and by the end of the month, we had cut that pile of old articles to just 66, eliminating the two oldest months! We reduced our overall backlog by 523 articles, to a new record low of 1,414 articles, even with new tags being added to articles every day, which means we removed copy-editing tags from over 800 articles. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from October 2016. Officially, 14 editors recorded copy edits to 200 articles (over 312,000 words), but over 600 articles, usually quick fixes and short articles, were not recorded on the drive page. Housekeeping note: we do not send a newsletter before every drive or blitz. To have a better chance of knowing when the next event will start, add the GOCE's message box to your Watchlist.

The march was not led by PL and SDS. They had positioned themselves at the front of the march. The organizers of the march and the appointed monitors intended the march to go past the hotel not stop there. It was because some of the marchers stopped that LAPD became fearful, that the crowd might storm the hotel (the faulty intelligence), and the police riot ensued. Please check out the sources.
