affirmative action change
hi, unfortunately i dont have the time at the moment to learn how the citation system of wikipedia works, i dont have the time to look for a decent source and my english isnt that great, too. i simply wanted to delete parts of the article that are complete nonsense. its nonsense because the whole paragraph is about an idea that was scrapped again right away and really has nothing to do with the german school system. this also makes it difficult to find relevant sources because of its complete irrelevance. a lottery can be used if there's not enough space at a particular, very popular school. other than that, the parents can decide what school their children will visit no matter the grades (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehrerempfehlung). noone in germany probably even remembers anything about that discussion back in 2009 and it doesnt represent anything meaningful whatsoever. 89.13.149.69 (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Not the airport logo, transit, etc. Revert vandal (Calvin Wisanto).--120.169.255.184 (talk) 23:23, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Read WP:NOTVANDALISM. It's a content dispute, which means you should be discussing on the talk page, not edit warring. clpo13(talk) 23:24, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Wth out reason you reverted my edit ?
(Made in usa1000 (talk) 17:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC))
- It was an inappropriate speedy deletion tag. The article clearly isn't an attack page. clpo13(talk) 17:51, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- FYI: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Nsmutte#09_April_2016_2. --bonadea contributions talk 18:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I figured it might have been something like that. clpo13(talk) 18:16, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Greek genocide
I see you reported me to the administrator page. I can't frankly understand your attitude. I did not breach the "3R" rule, and finally only put a POV tag on the Greek genocide article. The comment by one of the users is preposterous: I did not delete sourced material, but only rephrased it in a less controversial and more NPOV form. I believe you've been overzealous and oversaw how the two users who reverted my bona fide edits are engaging in simultaneous attacks against other users who are in disagreement with that POV. 87.9.140.146 (talk) 23:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- You may not have breached WP:3RR, but you were edit warring. Edit warring is disruptive even if you think you're right. You should have gone to the article talk page after being reverted the first time (see WP:BRD). clpo13(talk) 23:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I would like to make you aware that the first revert (18:55, 9 April 2016 Alexikoua) was based on false reasons because I never amused myself with a "disruption of sourced content". In fact, I did not even remove sourced content, but only rephrased it in a more balanced and nuanced way. The second revert (19:18, 9 April 2016 Dr.K.) started talking of "edit-warring", but in fact that user is engaging in her/his own edit wars with other users who do not share her/his same point of view.
- In any case, I stated my arguments on the talk page and I shall leave it at that. It is a pity that Wikipedia becomes a platform for nationalist propaganda or an outlet to vent resentment against other parties rather than trying to be what it was supposed to be — a balanced encyclopedia that reflects the state of the art of the scholarly debate through a balanced language. 87.9.140.146 (talk) 00:39, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Impostor
Hi,
I thought you ought to know that the barnstar you received was left by an impostor, not by me. Adam9007 (talk) 15:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- I figured as much when I saw it was removed and he was blocked. clpo13(talk) 15:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Notability books
As per What Every Science Student Should Know, I do not see how this can meet wp:NBOOKS. The only reviews are from Oakland Press, from Oakland County, Michigan (seems to be the home of one of the students); Yonhap News Agency, of South Korea; and the Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal of Science, which is a student paper. The AMA Wire article is not about the book but is about the students themselves. What do you see as meeting GNG? LaMona (talk) 00:18, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
