If you've had any kind of issue or misunderstanding in your dealings with me, there is an excellent article/essay on Wikipedia editors with Asperger Syndrome found here that might help.
Thanks for stopping by!
Here in Wikipedia, I go by "Winkelvi". I enjoy patrolling the "Recent changes" page, looking for vandalism by IP addresses. As a reviewer, I'm also often reviewing and then either accepting or rejecting pending changes. While I try to be accurate with the reverts I make and the subsequent warnings I leave on talk pages, I am only human and will make mistakes from time to time. If you're here because of an editing issue or a revert I've made to one or more of your edits and you feel I've made an error, please leave me a civil message on my talk page If you want to talk about article edits, it's really best to do so at the article's talk page. If you do so, and your comments regard changes I've made there, please ping me.
When you leave a message on my talk page and a response from me is appropriate, I will reply to you here, not on your talk page. Having half a conversation on a talk page and going back and forth between pages is unnecessarily confusing and a pain in the ass.
If you're here to whine, complain, or express anger, please go elsewhere. Any whining, complaining, angry or trolling posts are subject to immediate deletion. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:15, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Jason Lee (Actor) religion edit.
I appreciate the effort you make to keep things accurate, but not being able to accept "original research" goes both ways and can also prevent things from being as accurate and up-to-date as the world's de facto source for information should be. For example: There is zero evidence on the internet or anywhere else that Jason Lee is currently a member of the church of scientology nor is there any evidence that he has been a member in recent years. You are basing your decision to not accept the edit based on the lack of a press release stating a change in religion and that is an unreasonable expectation to have for anybody. If you don't want to accept my change to Episcopalian then I challenge the assertation that he's a scientologist on the same principles that were cited in your rejection of my edit and ask that you leave the "religion" part blank until a more definitive source can be cited.
If you have paid any attention to Scientology at all then you would realize that a public departure of any celebrity from Scientology would likely result in retaliation from the "church". Since Jason has a child with a previous partner (Beth Riesgraf) and that partner is an active scientologist then publicly departing could have jeopardized his relationship with that child. Similarly, it's not difficult to imagine that he has long standing friendships and professional relationships with active scientologists that would also suffer if the church declared him suppressive for leaving.
It's not always possible for everybody to leave with Leah Remini or Paul Haggis' "bang" but since wikipedia bears some responsibility for the perpetuation of the "Jason Lee is currently a Scientologist" narrative then it also bears the burden of proof.
Here is my attempt at providing some published context for my edit.
Scientology Celebrity Spiderweb 2012 (Jason included (look under 1970. everybody is categorized by birth year)) http://ocmb.xenu.nett/ocmb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=69963
Scientology Celebrity Spiderweb 2013 (Jason no longer listed) http://ocmb.xenu.net/ocmb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=156867
References from scientology publications (this is obviously not gospel as Leah Remini only has completions listed into 2004 even though we know very well that she didn't leave until 2013). http://www.truthaboutscientology.com/stats/by-name/j/jason-lee.html
3 episcopalian church photos via Jason's wife's public Instagram page (https://instagram.com/jessiegoesseaward/ shows photos of him and their family all over it which should confirm it's hers).
posted July 19, 2015: "I look forward to Sundays like I can't express. I am lucky enough to go to church at All Saints in Pasadena- a non-denominational church that works tirelessly as human rights advocates and equal rights petitioners. I learn more about what's happening in the world here than anywhere else. I just listened to a sermon by Rev. Gary Hall on 'the False Self'. It moved more than I can say. If you want to hear it, they have a podcast and an a YouTube channel.

You won't be able to confirm this one as valid because her facebook profile is private now, but it's a screen shot from Jason Lee's mother's page where she addresses the issue. Wikipedia is specifically called out as being innaccurate on the subject which is what motivated me to make the edit in the first place. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7082054/carol_lee_scientology_comment.pdf Heather louise stevens (talk) 23:27, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
Heather louise stevens, nothing you've provided as alleged proof Lee is no longer a Scientologist comes from a reliable source and appears to be original research. There are plenty of reliable sources available online that say Lee is a Scientologist, while there are no reliable sources saying he no longer is a Scientologist. Sorry, but we have to go with what is verifiable. Please read the article WP:VERIFY for more. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:35, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
James Randi
This is exactly the concern Jimbo expressed, that people who try to correct their own bios and aren't used to Wikipedia would be treated the way you just did. "Doesn't matter who it is", bah. Could you please at least come to ANI and discuss this? Bishonen | talk 22:01, 22 July 2015 (UTC).
- It doesn't matter who the anon IP is or who it isn't. If they are adding unreferenced content to a BLP, the "rules" apply, regardless. Why so star struck by an anon IP, Bishonen? -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:03, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation of User:50.53.64.49
I noticed you opened a Sockpuppet for user Kbabej including User:50.53.64.49. I would suggest that you also keep an eye on User:ID man12 ID. He was the person to respond to my comments on User:50.53.64.49 page here. It seems, from the response that User:ID man12 ID is also User:50.53.64.49, so if User:50.53.64.49 is a sock of Kbabej, User:ID man12 ID may also be.--- ARTEST4ECHO(Talk) 16:42, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. Not only does he appear to be on the narcissistic side, he's also relentless. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 18:06, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Amanda Peterson page
My apologies.
There is a radio interview with Howard Stern, available on YouTube, where she mentions going to Chile to film The Lawless Land. This interview was recorded in August of '87. This 5-part interview is where I got my info.
There has been no indication anywhere that Amanda had two children. The only child of hers ever mentioned is her young daughter Stella. Please indicate where it states that she had two children.
Amanda's brother, Rev. Jim Peterson is on Facebook if you would like to look him up.
Thanks! ````
- Reliable sources state she had two children with Hartley. Everything else you've added appears to not be reliably sourced and is original research. We can't accept original research. Do not continue to edit war at the article. If you have concerns, discuss them in the article talk page. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:10, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Note
It's obvious you disagree, and you're more than welcome to disagree and to revert this message too, but just so we're entirely clear that was a specific administrative warning that I will block if you continue this any more, and frankly it doesn't matter if you think I'm "doing the right thing" because I'm not making this up, I'm going by the book and that's all there is to it. I'm not going to sit and argue with you if it reaches that point as we've discussed this with you quite enough and have been unable to get any sort of affirmative response. I'd rather you heed the warning and simply do what is expected of every editor on Wikipedia but as I've repeatedly warned you, I'm going to block you if you push the issue. If you want an admin to "do the right thing", take it to SPI and ask them to! Swarm ♠ 00:34, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
Severity
Dear Winkelvi, I would really like you to continue to be an active and usefully contributing member of Wikipedia. My reading of the situation, is that to continue contributing to Wikipedia you will have to serious re-evaluate the format of your actions and interactions with others. You need to abide by the WP:3RR and WP:EDITWAR policy, and you should try to demonstrate your understanding of the severity of situation. I would re-encourage responding with "thank you", in preference to what appears to be a behaviour speedily reverting those who take the time to offer assistance ([1]). Please take this to heart this time and act upon it. Make the change, curtail the reverts (in Article and Talk space) and lets keep contributing! —Sladen (talk) 00:36, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. As always, you are very helpful. I appreciate the message. Swarm has appeared for months from his repeated curt and threatening messages on my talk page and elsewhere as well as his block-before-you-talk approach a little while ago, to not be interested in anything more than heavy-handedness. I take what he said seriously only out of fear of being blocked, not because I respect him. You, however, have my respect. For what it's worth. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:47, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Winkelvi, can you tell me either here or in another e-mail how you know that? Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
