Desmay

Have been here over a decade, mostly interested in religious and other topics.

Oxford/Grosvenor Square

Hi Desmay. I've cut the info you added on Grosvenor Square to the Oxford entry, as that is to do with Oxford Street, London, not the city of Oxford. I've pasted your text here so you can add it somewhere more appropriate if you wish. --hooverbag 08:58, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Oxford Street in London features on its south side the well-known Grosvenor Square, encompassing six acres and named for Sir Richard Grosvenor. The houses in the area are generally considered quite magnificent. It includes an equestrian statue of King George I.

Michael Moore edit

It was wrong to remove the reference to the family who were scandalized and appalled at their son's funeral being in Moore's movie without permission. This is very legitimate criticism of Moore and deserves mention.

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Desmay (talk • contribs) 15:35, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree. However the edit also had serious POV problems. There have been further attempts to present it in NPOV form and these should continue. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:31, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

AIDS Dissent Wikicity

Hi, Dean. (Yes, I know who you are.) You may be interested in contributing to the AIDS Dissent Wikicity I founded last month. Mostly, I'm the only contributor so far, but I'm looking for others to join in. There's about 25 articles started so far. I think dissidents do not really have a fair chance here at wikipedia, and also I think it's good to have a site where a strict NPOV policy can be slightly modified. Please, come and check it out: [1] Revolver 03:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi there: to make a redirect, type "#REDIRECTarticle , inserting the article name to which you want to redirect. Must be in capitals, spacing is critical.--Anthony.bradbury 17:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Robert A. Heinlein

Hi. I reverted this change. Heinlein's biographer, Bill Patterson, says:

Robert Anson Heinlein was born on 7 July 1907, in Butler, Bates County, Missouri, the third son of Rex Ivar Heinlein and Bam Lyle Heinlein. Heinlein had two older brothers -- Lawrence and Rex, Jr. He was succeeded by a sister -- Louise -- another brother -- Jesse -- and then two more sisters -- Rose Betty and Mary Jean, also called "MJ" -- seven children in all.

I'm not sure how to reconcile that with this page, as I'd also expect James Gifford's site to be reliable. I can speculate that Jay might be a nickname for Jesse, but that's just a random guess. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 20:52, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

October 2007

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to USS Enterprise (CV-6). Thank you. MBK004 01:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Ms. Monster

Hi, Dean. I added {{notability}} to Ms. Monster because it doesn't establish that she meets our basic notability criteria. If you can improve the article, please do. If you have any questions, you can contact me on my talk page, check Wikipedia:Questions, or leave {{helpme}} and you question on this page, and someone will be around to help shortly. Cheers, WODUP 04:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Christmastide edit

Desmay: I saw your recent edit to the Christmastide article, and I did not revert it, but I would ask you to reconsider it, as the sentence you changed was not saying what you thought it did. The sentence was not saying that only "some" Christian churches recognized Christmas, it says that only some Christian churches recognize it as a 'liturgical season', which is quite different. Many evangelical, fundamentalist, or "low-church" denominations don't have a concept of 'liturgical season'. Sigil7 (talk) 22:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Ms. Monster

I have nominated Ms. Monster, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ms. Monster. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Speedy deletion of Double-Donkey Kong Junior (video game)

A tag has been placed on Double-Donkey Kong Junior (video game) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 14:04, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Resistance is futile

I removed what you had added to the article above; "It is unclear what if any relationship this phrase has to the older Science Fiction catch-phrase, "Resistance is useless!" as used by sources preceeding the introduction of the Borg in Star Trek (see Vogon and [The Dalek Invasion of Earth] for some examples)."

If it is unclear, then it shouldn't really be added to the article. To do so is making a bit of mild original research. Alastairward (talk) 10:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Desmay! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 120 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Bill Ham - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Thom Doucette - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

You should put a space after the last of your writing (even if a period) and the ~~~~ because what's happening is the D in Dean is coming right after a period and it looks ugly to not have a space between the punctuation and the sig.

Commenting on RfCs

Hi, regarding this edit - the page is built by a bot which will remove or overwrite anything that it didn't put there itself, as it did with this edit.

What you should do is follow the link at the top of the entry - in this case it's Wikipedia talk:Translation - which will take you to the RfC in the "Machine-translations" section. There you will see comments by others - just use the edit link adjacent to the section heading and add your comments at the bottom. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:12, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

General sanctions for Michael Jackson

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to Michael Jackson.
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

April 2020 False Allegation, refuted, see below

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Hi, am F5pillar. One among edit your just made in a user Code16 page seems to be disruptive, if this userpage belong to you, easily you can referred it as alternative account but not putting some tags that you didn't open a sock puppet file or discussions against it.

I have no alternative accounts and have used this account myself alone for more than a decade. Your allegation of Code 16 is false and an allegation made without a shred of evidence. Further, you have not really explained what evidence there is that I've even been "edit warring." Please be specific, where is your evidence that any of what you are saying has occurred or is occurring? desmay (talk) 12:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)`

I'm interested why F5Pillar is so angry about the edit. Generally, editing people's userpages is frowned upon, but you were simply adding a sockpuppet tag to an account that was blocked over 5 years ago... How is the edit disruptive? — Yours, Berrely • ^Talk∕_Contribs 13:12, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

	Great work on Armin Navabi. Huge thanks! Zakaria1978 ښه راغلاست (talk) 23:46, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Question

On Armin Navabi, he recently got banned from Twitter. However, I am not able to find a source, except for his Facebook account which confirmed it via screen shot. Is that acceptable for us to use to update? Zakaria1978 ښه راغلاست (talk) 23:47, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Zakaria1978 to be honest I've never tried using a screen shot as a source so I don't know. desmay (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Growth of religion

I don't understand why you insist on repeating, the Chinese scenario was mentioned before, I do not understand the goal of repeating it again, is the goal is to create Illusory truth effect? so that the current study did not mention that it excluded China, but rather said that there is a lack of reliable data for all religious groups there, because China does not conduct national statistics for all followers of religions in it, not only for Christians. Nor does the source say that the reason for the growth of Christians there is conversion. Even that this study is based on unconfirmed and unreliable data, it is originally not worth repeating. ~ The good man 232 (talk) 10:13, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

The growth of Christianity in China, despite persecution, is well documented. This persecution is a serious issue, and the growth is an important phenomenon. Otherwise, it might be better to discuss this on the discussion page.desmay (talk) 18:41, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Signing in articles

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles, such as the edit you made to Akhand Bharat. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on talk pages or project pages such as the Teahouse. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article? Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 10:51, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

February 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tristan Tate. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. WP:BLP. Get consensus for inclusion before restoring contested content. VQuakr (talk) 23:51, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at Tristan Tate, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Drmies (talk) 00:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Desmay reported by User:VQuakr (Result: ). Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 23:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I saw you mentioned you didn't plan to keep editing in the subject area, but I am a little curious if you don't mind; what made you decide to come in hot on this one and start restoring contested content to a BLP? We've both been around a while and it was a little jarring. If you don't want to discuss, that's fine of course. VQuakr (talk) 01:49, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

The Tate brothers have been all over the news so I was surprised to see that the article about Tristan was nominated for deletion. desmay (talk) 20:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring

Your recent editing history at Christian nationalism shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
