Dear Wikipedian, |
|||
I am Marina. I am writing to you in order to clarify my fears. One of the users have been reverting my edits on [[Western Europe]], as well as other European-related issues. I noticed, that his or her page is full of talk page entries related just to that. Would you mind to stay in touch with me? I read about vandalism on Wikipedia and I fear this is one of these cases... I hope, of course that I am wrong but... the evidence seems to suggest otherwise. By evidence I mean Arcilla's talk page as well as entry, and the fact that rather than move a critical comment from user page to a talk page, it was simply reverted. --[[User:Martina Moreau|Martina Moreau]] ([[User talk:Martina Moreau|talk]]) 22:31, 22 January 2013 (UTC) |

Ray Comfort and sourcing direct quotes
Hi. There is no policy or guideline that requires that a citation placed directly after a quotation, including in instances where the quotation is part of a larger paragraph supported by the same source. I'm I'm mistaken, can you point me to the passage where this is stated? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 14:46, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- Well, for one, it's just normal scholarship--you can't even put a quotation into a high school level paper without a citation, and doing it at any professional level (journalism being the one exception) is just impossible. As for Wikipedia, it's the first line of the body of WP:V: "Attribute all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged to a reliable, published source using an inline citation" (emphasis original). So it is explicitly required by policy as well. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- We're not talking about whether a quote requires an inline cite, and we know that you are aware of this, given the comment in your edit summary "quotations always need to be cited directly and immediately after quote". Again, where is the policy or guideline that states that a citation placed at the end of the passage that contains the quote is insufficient? Nightscream (talk) 04:43, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- It's right there, "Attribute all quotations...." Putting the cite at the end of the paragraph makes it very unclear whether that specific quotation is being cited. And even if the citation is not required by policy, it's certainly better to have it there, because, as I said, professional and academic scholarship always requires a citation after a quote. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- "It's right there..." It's right where? Can you point to me where this "there" is? Nightscream (talk) 05:29, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
You said, in your January 12 message, "it's the first line of the body of WP:V: "Attribute all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged to a reliable, published source using an inline citation". Nowhere in that quote is it stated or even implied that placing a citation at the end of a passage is "insufficient", as doing so is precisely the accepted practice on Wikipedia, and is explicitly called for by WP:PAIC, which makes no exception for passages that happen to contain direct quotes. So your statement that "it is explicitly required by policy" is false, as is your insistence that it is "normal scholarship", as this not an accepted standard anywhere in scholarship. Footnotes got at the end of the supported material. Direct quotes are not an exception to this, and no reasonable person would think that a footnote at the end of the passage would be "unclear". Redundant citations clutter up the passage and constitute citation overkill. I'm removing the redundant cite. If you disagree, we can call for 3O or a consensus discussion.

Tirumala Venkateswara Temple
These three users have been created only today and their only edits have been the Talk page of Tirumala Venkateswara Temple... very fishy.
They seem like User accounts created by Eshwar.om, as these are the only accounts which are in support of Eshwar.om Do you think I should initiate a request for a sock puppet investgation ? Or would you take care of it ?
RTPking (talk) 20:07, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
It is already taken care of By Shriram the Eshwar.om is blocked. RTPking (talk) 23:02, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, that sort of event is a good reason to start an SPI. I've struck the !votes on the move discussion. The discussion can just stay open for another few days/week, and then closed as obviously not supported. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:23, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. RTPking (talk) 17:54, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion request
Hi, Qwyrxian. The account Amilton Ministry of Christ (talk · contribs · count) it is locked due cross-wiki spam and multiple accounts. "Amilton Ministry of Christ" In fact it is AMILTON DE CRISTO (talk · contribs · count), that it is locked for same reasons. What about different speedy deletion criteria, had only one criteria (CSD G5). Greetings, Érico Wouters msg 16:57, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- A, thank you, when you tagged it the account wasn't blocked and locked. I should have guessed a cross-wiki issue, since you're a global sysop. As for other criteria, you could have probably used WP:CSD#G11; some en.wiki admins are still a little hesitant to use that on a user talk page, and might just blank it instead, but if the account is blocked and locked, that's pretty much going to have the same effect. Thanks for the update! Qwyrxian (talk) 00:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Ok. Thanks, in next time I will use G11 :). Érico Wouters msg 00:14, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka
Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka article was nominated to delete in August, and Beeblebrox add tags to the page based on AFD discussion which resulted as Keep and Improve. Yet, again article was nominated to delete in Here and no one raised problem in article. Most of the participant praised the page and result was just Keep. In the talk page obi2canibe has stated he is not an expert on this subject and he has done no contribution to the article except some 'undone'. Currently there is no dispute on content. But there is a dispute on tags. Without specifying what are the disputes on the article, obi2canibe introducing tags. I repeatedly asked (talk page and edit notes) what are the disputed content from him. But he is not specifying issues. Also he has removed link in [here] and inserted orphan tag removed by automatic bot program. Currently I don't have permission to edit Sri Lanka page. Can you please look at this issue and instruct me how I needed to sort out 'dispute tags' on a page that don't have ongoing dispute ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.245.172.6 (talk) 17:12, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Are you asking me to accept tags introduced by obi2canibe as a consensus of AFD ? --Himesh84 07:18, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- No, I am not. Unfortunately, obi2canibe and I have both explained this, so I'm not sure what else to say. But the AfD has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the tags. The AfD merely questioned whether or not the article should be deleted. It made absolutely no comment about the quality of the page, merely that the underlying topic was important enough that it deserved a Wikipedia entry. The way to "remove the tags" is to fix the problems they identify. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Where I can find 'problems they identified' ? In which of obi2canibe (or anyone else's) edits in the talk page ? Can you please specify the date of the edit ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Himesh84 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm on my way out the door. Read the 2 talk page sections I commented in. It's there, plain as day. Don't edit war over the tags; if you need further help, pursue dispute resolution. Qwyrxian (talk) 09:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Orphan tag was removed by automatic Addbot program in here. To introduced the tag again he could chose ethical way or unethical way. But he has chosen the unethical way. That was deleting references and make a page as orphan. One of his reverts are in Sri Lanka page which you recently protected. --Himesh84 09:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Major BLP issue
This edit seems to be highly problematic. Please do something about this. Thank you. Forgot to put name 18:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- You've already done everything that needs to be done: you reverted the content and warned the user. What else did you want done? Qwyrxian (talk) 01:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- Revision Deletion. That is really a blatant violation of BLP policy. Forgot to put name 04:27, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Just to let you know he's back from his block, and he's carried on editing his Captain Tsubasa pages without a word on his talk page or the MfD. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
