Next time you want to remove information take the time to at least edit the article to include the references to how poisonous the unripe fruit is. I would much rather have a reference that would save peoples lifes than have an admin that wants to troll. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podophyllum — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGT-Craig (talk • contribs) 18:35, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
- @SGT-Craig: Firstly, we are not a dietary advice service and "saving people's lives" is not a function of Wikipedia. Your behaviour at Talk:Agenda 21 made clear to me that your edits required close scrutiny and I make no apologies for doing so as an administrator. Your material was removed for a very clear reason - it was a copyright violation as you had just copied the source word-for-word. I was under no obligation to re-add the material in another form - personally it looked unencyclopedic to me but I'll leave the article as it is for now. However, if the point has not been made clear already, if you add copyrighted material to Wikipedia again, you will blocked. Simple. CT Cooper · talk 11:32, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
When you read something that clearly shows a plants fruit in an unripe state to be a poison you remove it? You might want to rethink that rather than just hit delete. Wikipedia may not be a "dietary service" or a service to "save peoples lifes" but just a tad of common sense would go far here especially as a admin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGT-Craig (talk • contribs) 14:20, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
- @SGT-Craig: It's unfortunate that "common sense" does not extend to understanding that it's inappropriate to copy other people's work then pass it off as your own. CT Cooper · talk 19:32, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Pride 2016
As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
-
- Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
- Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
- Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)
Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.
This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:53, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
Threats of revenge on my talk page
Chris, I've received, albeit in French, a threat of "revenge" and personal attacks from Gregjarlot, via my talk page. I've posted a warning on his page, but I doubt they will ever get the message through to their thick skull. Are you able to intervene? Thanks. Wes Mouse ✒ 18:43, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Wesley Mouse: Thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't take their threat of revenge too seriously, but it is still unacceptable so I've left a further warning and will block them if this conduct continues. I suspect this is a WP:NOTHERE case but they'll get one more chance. CT Cooper · talk 22:14, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
