If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 05:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello, and I both thank you and apologize. The experiment was to see how long it would take for somebody to come along and correct an error, you have proven me right when I (and many others) have said that Wikipedia (and other wiki's) can be and are reliable sources of information. Thank you again.

OC, There was a particular reason for having the GREEN click to enlarge on the JPG... because a casual reader with a "casual" glance at the drawing would not notice that the first model was straight wing... not swepted back, and had 6 engines. It wasn't till after I became an editor that I noticed that clicking on a pic would enlarge it. Out of the hundreds of articles I've edited and few dozen I've created, there was on 2 occasions that a ref to the casual reader to "click to enlarge" was benificial. Please revert your edit. A dozen other aviation editors have read and seen my style and have not complained nor deleted my "click to enlarge"...on either article... if it doesn't both any or all of them , it shouldn't bother you. Thank you for understanding. Lance... LanceBarber 06:19, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Civil Air Patrol has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here.
I'm new to Wikipedia, so if I was wrong to write what I am telling you here, I apologize. This is the only way I figured out how to respond to what you told me. On the stuff about about Saddam, I am not trying to be a vandal. I am erasing some egregious untruth. The rules here say that a source has to have a neutral point of view and a reputation for accuracy. I submit that the New York Times, the main citation for the section in question, HAS NEITHER. The NYT is frequently shown to have shoddy journalism from the days of Walter Duranty down to Jayson Blair and the recent flap with McCain.
And saying that Saddam Hussein was some kind of bulwark against Communism is ludicrous, the man was a Soviet client. All of Iraq's weaponry was SOVIET, excepting some planes from France. Soviet advisors were present in Iraq from the '60s until the Fall of the Wall.
The "sources" are making their stuff up out of whole cloth. That's a fact and the material must be deleted if this is to be a site of accuracy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CatoUticensis ( talk • contribs) 21:51, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
That's just it, Iraq was NEVER a US ally. Between 1973 and 2003 the US and Iraq did not even have diplomatic relations, excepting between 1984 and 1988. Yes, we gave some aid to Iraq in that time in order to prevent the Ayatollahs from taking over that country. It didn't make us bosom buddies. Remember, during this period of "alliance", Iraqi Mirage jets bombed the USS Stark in an "accident." I read a book by one of Reagan's Defense Department Analysts written early in 1987 BEFORE the Stark got hit and he pretty much predicted the First Gulf War.
Except for the Mirage jets, the Iraqi Military used entirely Soviet weaponry (I know, I studied it all when I was in the Army), it's Army trained in Soviet doctrine and was indeed a miniature Soviet Army. The Ba'ath Party was Socialistic and Pan-Arabist, totally Anti-American. The only thing we ever had in common with them was the crazy mullahs of Iran were high priority enemies for a brief time.
The Saddam-as-ally thing is a fiction by the political Left. He has NEVER been America's friend.
And I must disagree about NYT, I think they have many longstanding problems with the truth and they are certainly not neutral, as wikipedia's policy states they should be. Pinchy Sulzburger was asked if he saw an American soldier and a North Vietnamese soldier grappling for their lives, who would he want to win? He replied that it was the stupidest question he had ever been asked, of course he'd want the North Vietnamese soldier to win. A real dirtbag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CatoUticensis ( talk • contribs) 07:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I realize you've significantly reduced your editing, but did you manage to get any photographs of the L-Per? I can't really do any more work on that article (that I can think of) besides those photographs. They would really help.
If you didn't get them, then don't worry about it. I'll take care of it (eventually). Thanks, though, if you have. — scetoaux ( T| C) 06:37, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Good work on silencing that anti-socialist reactionary gorilla on the ACLU page. Wikipedia should have no tolerance for anti-democratic or anti-socialist bigots. However, I also believe a little more "progressive repression" is called for here--is it possible for this antisocialist slimeball's IP address to be blacklisted and banned?

Wow--how did we come to this is such a short time? Stress of the season?? You know, we actually have a lot in common. You like Monty Python, Star Trek, Star Wars, and have served the Homeland as a Cadet and Senior Member of Civil Air Patrol. I love BritComs and Sci-Fi! I was never a Cadet but joined when I was 20...back in the 1980's....and YES, there is a silver star on my Cadet Programs Specialty Badge. As I have been in Specialty Track 215 for over twenty years it is NOT that amazing to reach that level. And, although I am not Jewish, my wife and children are. You were right about the CP pic on the CAP article...but then you continued to attack me on every front. True, I bit back---but---you definitely took it WAY more seriously than deserved. So, in the spirit of the Festival of Lights, I offer you an opportunity to take a step back, realize that YOU won the point about the pic, and move forward with less stress, aggression, and anger in your life. I can certainly tell you that stress is the invisible killer. Being right means nothing if you have a stroke. I will confine my pics to the Wikimedia Commons Gallery that I have created and encourage you to add some images soon.

A digusting comment has been placed on the Metrication in the United States talk page. Can you remove it?
There are two principal reasons why the United States of North America has been unable to change to a sensible measurement system that 200 / 203 countries use.
1. The financial cost of such a change would probably cripple a weakening economy.
2. The average American lacks the intellect necessary to be able to handle such a change.

This edit [1] is unduly combative and dismissive. If an editor's editing restrictions are finished, best to welcome them back and encourage them to edit productively. Telling them they are unfit to edit a page takes things in the opposite direction, and only encourages trouble. If there is anything wrong with Scjessey's announcement and Sceptre's silly reply it is WP:NOT#FORUM, i.e. we are not a social network and not here to chat. But assuming good faith, that is all he is doing, saying he is back and would like to return to editing. From experience on this page, it is better to politely remind people to stay on subject, and if necessary, collapse discussions when done with the "hat" template, than to delete them outright. Trust me, that keeps things a lot more cheerful. - Wikidemon ( talk) 22:55, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
I am not being "snarky." As a parent, I have a genuine concern about how CAP will deal with cadets exposed to "alternative lifestyles" among senior members.

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. Uncle Dick ( talk) 20:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Your reason for reverting my revert was incorrect and had no basis in wikipedia policy. Looks to me like you are just overly sensitive about a contentious article. If you want the sockpuppet's edit to remain then I suggest you remove the duplication - I have no intention of getting involved further. Goodbye Oncenawhile ( talk) 23:48, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, OuroborosCobra. I struggled with how best to organize the awards. I realize that the cadet and senior awards are sort of different sides of the same coin, but they are almost more like totally different awards schemes. Rather than trying to fit them together, I've chosen to organize them in the way that the regulations organize them. It is seems to give precedence to senior awards and then lists the cadet program after. I haven't actually started on fixing up the cadet awards yet. As I have them, I've only gotten to the Garber award. I'm going through each one and revising/citing. Let me know if you think of anything else.-- dave-- 11:51, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey OC, I'm hoping you can help me out. If you are unaware, it was determined a while ago that the CAP license for images on Commons (and here) is invalid as CAP is now a private incorporated entity, and they'll have to be deleted. However, especially for the seals and such, I'm having trouble figuring out when certain designs were released...it makes a huge difference because designs dating from January 1942 until June 1964 were created by the Institute of Heraldry and thus still PD. This means the corporate seal, amongst others, is not PD and will have to be transferred back here under fair use (note also that any text in articles that came from CAP sources is also not PD...oi). If you happen to have the book Civil Air Patrol Uniform Insignia Since 1941, I know it contains lots of information. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. — Huntster ( t @ c) 06:44, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for challenging Hcobb in the aviation articles. He has a poor understanding of WP policies re: what is relevant on WP, thinking it is a repository of news snippets and "he said" quotes. His sense of "humor" and tendency to editoriazle in text and edit summaries is also problematic. It gets tiring challenging him on my own, so it's good to see someone else taking him on. He can be a good editor when he tries to follow policy. Thanks again. - BilCat ( talk) 08:45, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that you closed my post on the Obama talk page because it's "canvassing" and "not relevant". While I do explain what the purpose of the template is, which does in retrospect sound like canvassing, the relevancy is that it affects that talk page. I put the template on the talk page specifically with the thought that that article was an important article for a stable version. My post was to explain what I did, and to give people the option to discuss it. I could see the argument that such a prominent page is not the place for a new template, as well as the argument that with the risk of vandalism, etc, it is a good candidate. I was trying to let people have the chance to decide. I won't reopen the discussion, but I thought I'd just explain my thinking on the matter. Cheers, Falconus p t c 23:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I find it remarkable that you complain about what you view as my breaking certain policies. Yet you do not support me in cases where my opponents are breaking those policies. For example, in the re-revert you just did on the Obama article, you did not complain that the previous editor claimed that "sources don't support" my edits. Yet the sources do support my edits quite exactly. Meanwhile, as you must have noticed, I have done plenty of discussing on the talk page. Yet you are requesting that I discuss on the talk page. Well I did. That is trying my assumption of good faith. William Jockusch ( talk) 15:14, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey OuroborosCobra, there's a debate here on the Talk:Chengdu J-20 page as to whether or not it is a 'purported' or actual 5th-generation stealth fighter. The citation numerous authors have used seems to be unclear on this and I'm concerned 'purported' is a weasel word. I don't want to run afoul of 3RR, so please check in, thanks. If you find purported to be a weasel word, feel free to edit it out of the first sentence on the Chengdu J-20 page.

I know. I disagree with it being in the article, as images are one thing, but links to song players outside of the article on that song seem a bit much. I said I "agreed with him on including the anthem," meaning I agreed with his position on inclusion, which was to say I'm against inclusion. I admit it is a bit awkward. :) -- Golbez ( talk) 16:39, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
While they were less insulting, the behavior of posting something inflammatory and then never rejoining the conversation is still an issue.

Hi @
OuroborosCobra:. Referring to the
talk here on the use of ballistic missiles against Azerbaijan. Thanks again for your thorough analyses of the sources, but as I added there based on your work, there is not a single piece of evidence that ballistic missiles have been used by Armenia. These missiles
are basically guided. There use, which the article unambiguously states, is a serious topic (as it implies one side deliberately and accurately targeting civilians) and therefore needs to be backed up by evidence of actual use (not only possession as some of the sources do) and this is demonstrably not the case looking at the sources
The term is used very liberally both in the main article, and in related ones like
this and
this. What are your thoughts? I and quite a few of the participants in the thread are of the view that these reference should be removed, especially that most sources don't even mention them, but happy to hear your feedback. Thanks--

I apologise for my sledgehammer tactic of removing images - but not for the replacing of images with other suitable images.
Why do I do it you may ask.
The answer is simple. I really like reading through the wikipedia country articles but get tired of viewing the same old US politicians over and over again with various country leaders e.g. here's Trump with the head of Jordan, here's Trump with the head of Iraq, here's Kerry with the head of Egypt etc.
For an example of the sort of thing I am talking about check out /info/en/?search=User:B._Fairbairn

Your recent editing history at Israel shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in being
blocked from editing—especially, as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the
Arbitration Committee, if you violate the
one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one
revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the one-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You have already violated 1rr on the article, and any admin can legitimately block you right away. Please self-revert immediately

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) ( talk) 15:25, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
I am very serious about your need to address the content, not the person. WP:ASPERSIONS are a form of personal attack and you should really strike the aspersions you have been making. Iskandar323 ( talk) 16:27, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
