Your feedback is welcome
Hey, your feedback is welcome here: Talk:Michael Kors (brand), whether the brand should have its own article, separate from the designer. Tinton5 (talk) 22:49, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Tinton5, thanks, but as I have never edited the article or the talk page, and never even heard of the subject, I'm wondering what made you decide to invite me. Just curious - DVdm (talk) 05:24, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Help please
User talk:90.213.152.202 is continuing to vandalise political pages, now focusing on Liberal Democrats. He has been warned many times (assuming he set up ToryBoy1988 username as well) and continues to remove citations EVERY DAY! Please ban him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.107.157 (talk) 21:36, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: Misleading figure in Derivation of LT page
Hi, I added a note in the above mentioned page and you messaged me saying you removed it. I have also left a note in the Talk section of that Wiki page. Please check that out. There is no citation to discuss, just a self-consistency check between the figure, text and result. I understand that it is old and accepted figure, but please check out the points I have mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Achandrasekaran99 (talk • contribs) 18:53, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user talk page! I wondered why I was getting like 6 email notifications of the same person "leaving me a message on Wikipedia", but was too busy to check. Have a great day! --Nick—Contact/Contribs 17:13, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear DVdm, I will add the citation and reference in some time which i forgot to add in the previous edit. I will add it some time later as I have some other issues now. Anyway thanks for reminding! --Chand3994 (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
No Animal sacrifices in Vedic religion and Vedas.
Sources which claim animal sacrifices in Vedas have no authenticity. Be it Max Muller, Keith Wilson, Ralph Griffith or any other non-Arya Samaji. Arya Samaj follows the norms of interpretations of Vedas according to the Vedangas, unlike any of the western interpreters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.97.245.212 (talk) 13:00, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes (~~~~). Thanks.
- As other contributors have restored the content that you deleted, you probably should take this for discussion to the article talk pages Talk:Animal sacrifice and Talk:Animal sacrifice in Hinduism. Don't forget to sign your messages on talk pages. Good luck. - DVdm (talk) 13:49, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Complaint
Okay, so I had put in two errors on other pages, like misspellings, but I have just received a final warning for changing the death toll from 45+ to 50+ on a recent shooting, because I have read somewhere that the death toll was now over 50. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aguycalledharv (talk • contribs) 19:34, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
- Re your edit, yes, perhaps it is indeed 50+, but the cited source says 45+. If you want the article to say 50+, you will have to provide a relevant wp:reliable source and replace the previous source. - DVdm (talk) 19:38, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker, edit conflict) @Aguycalledharv: If you change information, you must always provide a reliable source with it, especially if it's controversial information like this. That's why you've been warned, for adding unsourced, controversial content. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:41, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Fable
I've noticed your change in Fable (song and I think you are because the song is very similar to Children (song) so I think that is a dream trance track — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andresbfarrera (talk • contribs) 20:24, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

- Alas, what we think is of no importance on Wikipedia. What we need, are wp:reliable sources, as you should know by now. Please look at the welcome message on your user talk page, and follow some links to learn about how Wikipedia works. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 20:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
Complaint (2)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I really don't understand your grievance ...the website linked has no ads and links to over 30 hr. of open youtube discussion ....including a few debunks of Feynman errors made in a video linked in the footnotes. DoNotGod (talk) 05:58, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- Not a grievance. Just an inappropriate link. See WP:ELNO item 11. And see wp:FRINGE. - DVdm (talk) 07:17, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- To describe the website as a "Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites" is inappropriate logic ...The entire website is devoted to defending kinetic force theory and some of the linked videos have la sage in the title. As for the fringe accusation I believe few reasonable people would not see the category "non mainstream" as synonymous with fringe. DoNotGod (talk) 14:35, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- Describing that site that way is not related to logic. The site is a personal web page, and it is not written by a recognized authority, so per WP:ELNO item 11, it does not belong here. To me personally it looks like utter nonsense, but to be polite I settled for fringe - DVdm (talk) 14:46, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- "a personal web page" apparently you are too web illiterate to know what that means (facebookish) .... "not written by a recognized authority" Who in the non mainstream catigory is a "recognized authority" and WHO recognized them, and by what credentials? ...(some dead links in the category by the way) ..."To me personally it looks like" 10 years editing and you haven't figured out this isn't a smart way to start a sentence in a dispute? What are your personal credentials on the subject of physics? DoNotGod (talk) 16:33, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- DVdm is being too polite here. I had a quick look and it's an amateurish, self-promotional, disaster of a site. Wherever you found it you should advise the creator to take it down and start over with a more modern (as in this century) design and layout. If you are the creator then your time would be much better spent fixing the many problems with site. Make it good enough and others may start finding it useful and referring to it, even using it as a source. As it is though it should not be added to Wikipedia, by its creator or anyone else.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 16:59, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- "it's an amateurish, self-promotional, disaster of a site" What link in the non-mainstream cat would you suggest as a proper "modern" design, without too much promotion of personal theory?... "many problems with site" like what, readable text and working links?... "it should not be added to Wikipedia" linking to the only current open discussion of la sage style gravity would be bad for Wikipedia how? DoNotGod (talk) 17:30, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- To answer your questions, one example of a non-mainstream authority would be, say Fred Hoyle. Check him out. In fact, Hoyle is my all-time favourite Non-Mainstream Authority. About my not so smart way to start a sentence in a dispute, my apologies. It is however what I really think about the site. My credentials are 100% irrelevant—see WP:CAI and WP:CRED—but if you insist, I have a masters degree in mathematics—with specialisation and masters thesis in astrophysics—and I also have a masters degree in information technology. This is of course not of much importance when it comes to dismissing the site as an external link in Wikipedia. In that respect only Wikipedia's content guidelines about external links are relevant—and crystal clear, I'd say. - DVdm (talk) 20:55, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
- "My credentials are 100% irrelevant" well if you are going to say something like "it looks like utter nonsense" seems reasonable for me to inquire if there is reason to think you know what isn't nonsense. Just as an FYI I am offering $1000.00 to anyone who can prove some "nonsense" ....anyway re: "only Wikipedia's content guidelines about external links are relevant—and crystal clear, I'd say" So in spite of the fact that all content on the site relates to a discussion of Kinetic Force Theory you think it is fairly described as a "personal site"? ... and you have a "masters degree in information technology" ...LOL and such DoNotGod (talk) 21:53, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

The user DoNotGod is a YouTuber who is using Wikipedia as a platform for his own original research. He's since made a video on his site after this exchange titled "Wikipedia Junk .... DVdm is a petty fucktard". He's got no knowledge of Wikipedia's policies, and considering he's been terminated multiple times on YouTube for his extremely toxic behavior, chances are he'll be blocked here too. Just look at his channel, he is the very person that WP:NPA was made to keep off this site. Insidiae (talk) 06:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- "DoNotGod is a YouTuber" I publish ummonetized videos at various locations and would not describe myself as a "youtuber" ..."using Wikipedia as a platform" my interest is the subject of partical gravity and I simply claim the link posted is perfectly consistent with the credibility of the other links in the category. ..."own original research" there are no "researched claims" on the site, just defended theory consistent with the other links in the category. ..."no knowledge of Wikipedia's policies" what fact bases this claim? ...."terminated...for his extremely toxic behavior" you have no evidence for this claim, and their is plenty of evidence that bigoted censorship was the cause. ..."chances are he'll be blocked here too" for what, daring to defend my reasonableness? ..."the very person that WP:NPA was made to keep off this site" because they might post a relevant link not suiting the personal bigotries of the "authorized" subject owner or mob. DoNotGod (talk) 08:25, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
In DoNotGod's defense, not sure how the 6th non-mainstream link http://www.mountainman.com.au/le_sage.htm isn't a personal page that doesn't include its share of original research? The page contains links to pages which index fringe Usenet discussions dating back to the mid 90s. Also, note this key insight from that very same wikipedia approved non-mainstream authority website: ("Despite this overwealming peer-reviewed state of affairs, there nevertheless exist, and have existed, individuals who have stated their disagreement with the contemporary theories of the physical sciences. Sometimes termed dissident, invariably termed "crack-pot", the scorn and derision of the status quo have not prevented these individuals to work away at their alternate theories concerning the nature of natural phenomena, here on earth and "out there", in the cosmos.") This seems like a classic case of the lone dissident being unfairly bullied out of contributing to the discussion by the self-appointed sentries of the status quo.Snowwhiteunger (talk) 07:57, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- Sure, wp:otherstuffexists. Perhaps some other links are there and managed to survive through wp:consensus. Feel free to remove more inappropriate links per wp:ELNO. Wikipedia is yours, so please be bold and go wp:FIXIT. - DVdm (talk) 09:01, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- "Feel free to remove more inappropriate links" So you apply a "personal" standard of "nonsense" and censor links and than when challenged on the poor quality of your personal judgment you suggest MORE censorship? ..."Wikipedia is yours" kind of a totally insane comment in-light of how much work I am going to have to do to add one link. DoNotGod (talk) 13:07, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
Likewise, DoNotGod's link should have a chance to survive through wp:consensus. It fits the mold of a "non-mainstream" link. Snowwhiteunger (talk) 22:10, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- It has no chance, it completely fails the notability requirements. I hate to accuse you of being a meatpuppet, but considering you have three edits to your name, two of which are on this talk page and in support of DoNotGod, please stop engaging in meatpuppetry, sir or madam. Insidiae (talk) 22:50, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- "It has no chance" even-though it can't be shown to be significantly different than any of the other links? ..."it completely fails the notability" can you provide a quote from that page relivent to a non-mainstream subcategory? DoNotGod (talk) 12:42, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
- Please read WP:OtherStuffExists. If you see links that you feel don't belong, you are free to remove them. I'm sorry Gary, but your link doesn't belong on the article. This is not a place to "expand discussion", it's an encyclopedia, and your page fails the requirements. If you wanna contribute here, cool, but you need to read and understand all the relevant policies and guidelines. I'll assume good faith for a moment and add a welcome template to your talk page, which contains all the relevant material for you to read. Insidiae (talk) 16:49, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
I don't think it fails to qualify as a non-mainstream link. Please remember to focus on the content, not the contributor. It's counterproductive to directly accuse someone of being a meatpuppet. DoNotGod's link contains information about the subject of the article. While I appreciate your concerns, let's remember: "Wikipedia does not "enshrine" old practices: bold changes to its policies and guidelines are sometimes the best way to allow the encyclopedia to adapt and improve." Snowwhiteunger (talk) 02:24, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
Reverting me
If you paid any attention to my edits which you recently reverted, starting with 2015 Nepal earthquake, and most recently Sorting algorithm, you would see I was actually removing vandalism. In the former, an unregistered IP posted random content about the earthquake on a redirect page where it certainly doesn't belong. In the latter case, another unregistered IP blanked the page, which I then changed back to the last version of the article. You then reverted me, thus blanking the page. I don't think your warnings on my talk page are reasonable...Quackriot (talk) 15:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- Indeed, the last was not appropriate—I was too fast and undid my revert of the article. The revert of the warning did not work though. I have removed it manually now. Can you explain this edit? - DVdm (talk) 15:38, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- By the way, with this edit you also indeed repaired an article, but you failed to provide an edit summary, so it looked like vandalism. Please provide edit summaries for all your edits. I have now removed all the warnings from your talk page, and placed a little request about edit summaries. Thanks. - DVdm (talk) 15:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Question about "Topic:atheism" revision rollbacks
Hello DVdm,
I noticed recent rollbacks of Equivocasmannus' revision of the atheism topic. For example, he/she shortened "any supernatural deity" to the more succinct "deity." Since the deity page directly defines deities as supernatural, would it not be more appropriate to hyperlink deity instead of reverting? Thanks for your time.
Cheers, EphemeranceEphemerance (talk) 16:32, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
- The cited sources explicitly mention "supernatural" and we're not in the business of imposing our views upon the sources. See my warning at User talk:Equivocasmannus. Anyway, this is to be discussed on the article talk page. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 17:09, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
86.128.149.112
FYI. That IP/range (though active most recently for a short period) is related to patterns of sock & block evasion (and disruptive/tendentious editing) that goes back quite a few years. Just FYI really. Guliolopez (talk) 20:48, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Re: your messages
If you've really been on Wikipedia for 10 years then you should be aware of a couple of things:
- You're not supposed to wildly template people with inaccurate warnings - I've left edit summaries for all the edits you're complaining about.
- You're not supposed to use more than one template per issue, which you've done.
- Using an IP address does not automatically make a person a vandal.
- I'm not a "newbie" and thus the usual "do not edit in a way I don't like or you'll be blocked forever" crap isn't going to work on me.
Regarding the two edits I've made that you don't like: On Cornwall College - I've made a number of edits to counteract the mass-alteration of articles by an individual who seems to be pushing a political agenda. This individual has been complained about by several users and reported at ANI. On Brutus Beefcake - I've removed a paragraph of unsourced, speculatory material added by an SPA to promote an upcoming indie film. On both of those edits, I used explanatory edit summaries which only a blind cretin could have missed, thus your not-so-friendly warnings and false revert summaries consist of nothing less than an abuse of Huggle, something expressly forbidden. 82.41.197.51 (talk) 16:42, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- You removed content with extremely misleading edit summaries, so you were warned about it. On the other hand in vue of of the discussion Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Editor making bulk changes against consensus (redux), pehaps I acted too swiftly, for which my apologies. - DVdm (talk) 17:23, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
A kitten for you!
To keep your mind off the negative off-wiki stuff.
Winner 42 Talk to me! 01:12, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Cute . Actually, that off-wiki stuff is so interesting that I sort-of enjoyed it. Paradox! - DVdm (talk) 06:41, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Please don't apologize
Please do not apologize to DoNotGod for suggesting sock-puppetry. There were behavioral reasons to think that sock-puppetry was likely, with two registered accounts and one unregistered editor engaging in similar disruptive pursuit of their agenda. Just because CheckUser didn't find a relationship doesn't mean that you or I were wrong. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:36, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- We'll see how things evolve at User talk:DoNotGod and at https://www.youtube.com/user/inmendham .... although I wouldn't mind apologising. Thanks and cheers - DVdm (talk) 16:42, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry for being rude. Can you please answer what I did wrong. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slimenubs (talk • contribs) 17:37, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
