Hi, Doug. There is another aggressive user at the Race (Human Catergorization) page. I suspect this user is a sock puppet of the previous user Captain TJ Verity/mikemikev based on the user's aggressive and sarcastic tone, use of specific labels (Marxists) to discredit other WP editors, and aggressive editing. I just wanted to alert to this possibility. Thanks. [[User:Danielkueh|danielkueh]] ([[User talk:Danielkueh|talk]]) 16:51, 27 August 2016 (UTC) |

:I'm not entirely sure what this guy is going on about. I apologise about his opinion of my tone, but he has to admit I supported my position with sources and logic. Maybe he feels defeated and has to go complaining about how my tone frightened him or something.

In fact it's safe to say that I am correct and he is incorrect. Maybe he feels defeated and has to go complaining about how my tone frightened him or something, because he cannot back up his position logically and honestly.

Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia.

First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, , but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add {{unblock|reason}} to your talk page. (replace reason with why you think you should not be blocked.) I watch the talk pages of everyone I block, so I will almost definitely see you make your request. If I am making edits (check Special:Contributions/Doug Weller) and I do not answer your request soon, or you cannot edit your talk page for some reason, you can try sending me an email. Please note, however, that I rarely check my email more than a few times a day, so it may be a couple of hours before I respond. Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future. |
You can email me from this link but in the interests of Wiki-transparency, please message me on this page unless there are pressing reasons to do otherwise.
Comments which I find to be uncivil, full of vulgarities, flame baiting, or that are excessively rude may be deleted without response. If I choose not to answer, that's my right; don't keep putting it back. I'll just delete and get annoyed at you.
University of Kansas "Ancient Central America" course assignment
This is just a heads-up to let you know that I'm once again having students create Wikipedia entries for a course this semester. I've posted the information for them here:
Dwapara Yuga / Yoekteshwar
Hi Doug, I'm Robert ( RobCZ ) and I think the last correction must have been five years ago on the particular year we are in according to this interpretation of Yoekteshwar. Swami Yoekteshwar wrote his Holy Science in 194 Dwapara ( 1894 ), thus currently we are in 316 Dwapara. Kind regards Robert, Amsterdam, Holland
Nuragic civilization
Hi i have reinserted the section about the language, the source cited about the possible alphabet came from a 100% scientific publication , Tharros Felix 5:
- Il nuovo volume di "Tharros Felix 5", la collana della Scuola di specializzazione in Beni archeologici di Sassari-Oristano, raccoglie ricerche originali suddivise negli ambiti geografici dell'Africa antiqua, Sardinia antiqua, Mare Sardum e mare Balearicum fra Bisanzio e Islam. [1]
- È stato pubblicato Tharros Felix 5 (Carocci editore, dicembre 2013), quinto numero della collana di studi istituita dall'Università di Sassari - Dipartimento di Storia, Scienze dell'Uomo e della Formazione e dal Consorzio UNO nell'ambito della Scuola di Specializzazione in Beni Archeologici con sede ad Oristano. Il volume è a cura di Attilio Mastino (Rettore dell'Università di Sassari e Professore ordinario di Storia Romana), Pier Giorgio Spanu (Professore di Archeologia Cristiana e Medievale) e Raimondo Zucca (Professore ordinario di Storia e Archeologia del Mediterraneo Antico).[2] --Xoil (talk) 19:50, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Joe, Hi Doug! Please go through my text of Tam Pa Ling Cave and correct. ATB Wikirictor (talk) 21:58, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) It wasn’t all that bad, @Wikirictor… I gave it a quick once-over.—Odysseus1479 02:33, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks mate for your help, but User:Joe Roe did a lot of editing already. ATBWikirictor (talk) 03:57, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Wikirictor: Looks good. I did a light punctuation edit although others may differ. Doug Weller talk 14:54, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Dubious material (2)
Hi Doug, I know that you're very busy, and I'm sorry if you had deliberately skipped it (as opposed to having missed it), but I had one more important question regarding a matter that needs to be stopped. Its about a so called "source" added everywhere by user "Freedom Wolfs". I presented the matter in a reply to your last message on your talk page. Just in case. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 03:38, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- @LouisAragon:No, I just got too busy and forgot it. I finally found a mention on WorldCat.[3] No copies in the UK, 3 in the US:[4]. I'd say definitely not an RS, but I'd advise you to take it to RSN to make it more 'official'. Tertiary sources such as encyclopedias are sometimes acceptable, but the one being used now? I'd say no. Doug Weller talk 14:50, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- Numerous image files copied from elsewhere. I've deleted a couple, raised one here hoping for more attention but there might be a backlog. I wouldn't be surprised if he's doing copy/paste translations. Doug Weller talk 15:22, 22 August 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks much, will do so! Let me know if you need any assistance regarding this matter. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:39, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #223
Weird edits (?)
Doug, do you have the article (just for an example here) "Ethnic groups in Pakistan" on your watchlist? I just hopped by, and I'm noticing some very odd a la 19th century/early 20th century racialism on pages alike, where IP's/accounts (without edit-summary) drop stuff everywhere regarding "ethnolinguistics" of its ethnic groups (seems to be very important for people of that region) throughout the entire article. Even, as we can see in this particular case, its just a plain article regarding ethnic groups of a modern-day nation. Hence I just reverted all of it. - LouisAragon (talk) 01:38, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi LouisAragon. Sorry, not touching that with a barge pole, I've got too much stuff on my watchlist as it is that really doesn't interest me. Doug Weller talk 07:54, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Race and intelligence
I just encountered WP:HD#Ongoing semi-protection of the Race and intelligence talk page while scrolling through WP:HD. If you've not already addressed the situation, could you look into what the IP's talking about, and if appropriate, remove semiprotection here or at the article's talk page? I know nothing of the situation (I don't think I've ever looked at the article, its talk page, or the Arbcom case), so I can't offer any constructive input. Nyttend (talk) 17:27, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Nyttend Weird. Bish protected it for one day but it seems to have become indefinite. We were getting loads of socks on the R&I talk page. And of course IPs who may be socks pushing a pov. It's no secret there's been an off-wiki campaign to get editors to change the page. But I'll unprotect it and only protect it again if there is blatant socking. Otherwise I'll leave it to others as it's an R&I page and withdrew from that some time ago. Doug Weller talk 17:55, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- Looks to me like the settings got switched around: it had already been on indefinite move protection, and somehow the indefinite got attached to the edit protection while the move protection expired in one day. I'm restoring the move protection now, but of course undo me if you don't want it to be move-protected. Nyttend (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- See the protection log for User talk:ThisIsaTest. I didn't know this, but it's easy to set a separate duration for move protection and edit protection, and you can even set it so that editing requires admin rights but moving requires only confirmation. Bishonen found a page with move protection but no edit protection, so she would have found "Unlock further protect options" already checked. I'm just guessing that she set the top one to "indefinite", scrolled down, noticed that it shouldn't have been set to indefinite, and changed it to one day, all without noticing that she'd changed the duration for the wrong option. Nyttend (talk) 21:34, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Nyttend: Thanks. Yes, I definitely think R&I needs move protection. And thanks for the detailed explanation. Explains why a new account couldn't post to my talk page also. I'll tell Bish. Doug Weller talk 07:51, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, I restored the former move-protection here at your talk page; I haven't done a thing with the R&I subject area. Nyttend (talk) 13:01, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry User:Nyttend, brain slip. Of course you move protected my talk page, not the article talk page. Doug Weller talk 13:17, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

Bother you
I see the latest discussion is dated to be about two months ago. So to have someone's attention I have to bother you with this. Please look into the matter here: Talk:Kurds#Kurds_in_Armenia Thanks 46.241.203.84 (talk) 13:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Potential sock user editing Race page
Hi, Doug. There is another aggressive user at the Race (Human Catergorization) page.
