Stellar

Thanks for letting me know about it! I'll take a look and see what I find! WhisperToMe (talk) 16:34, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I found a few things (website on the Wayback Machine works, article from Flight Global, recorded clip from a French language probably Congolese TV news broadcast), so please let everyone know that there's more stuff WhisperToMe (talk) 09:02, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Great, Cheers! I guess it's looking more and more like they never really existed. I also found that the user who created the Indonesian page has been banned.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 16:27, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

May 2014

Hello, I'm Jetstreamer. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sudan Airways, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jetstreamer ^Talk 19:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Jetstreamer. I changed a couple of the other things about the current status of the planes but I think it's correct now. Is there a problem with the source though? I think you ended up using the same one as me (Ch.aviation)?Monopoly31121993 (talk) 18:39, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

No problem at all, but some of the changes you made were not in agreement with it. Everything seems to be ok now.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 18:43, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok, Sounds good. I'm working on editing some of the African airport articles at the moment. If you have any desire to help me out it would be great. I think a lot of them are several years out of date. I've finished a few of the major international airports for West Africa if you want to collaborate maybe we could divide up the 20 or so remaining international airports on the continent. No obligation though. Cheers!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Delta ROB-ACC-JFK-ATL

Hi, I noticed that you are new to editing according to your thread at WT:AIRPORTS (I have replied there as well). Please read WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT (point 7). I removed Atlanta as a destination because the flight makes 2 stops (Accra and JFK) and WP:AIRPORT-CONTENT specifically states avoiding listing direct flights that contain a stop a domestic hub and flights that involves plane changes (which in this case is JFK). Please note that JFK is a Delta hub. Regards! Rzxz1980 (talk) 01:42, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

BTW, here is the flight status for DL479 for 9 May 2014 departure http://www.delta.com/flifo/servlet/DeltaFlifo?airline_code=DL&flight_number=479&flight_date=05/09/2014&request=main (if you click on the flight details for each segment, it will tell you the aircraft flown for the route and you will see JFK-ATL segment using 757 aircraft). Also, the source you provided from Delta's online timetables is clearly denoted that ROB-ATL requires a change of equipment. Rzxz1980 (talk) 02:06, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Delta/SkyWest EAS Info

Hi, I saw you added some info on the Delta Air Lines page about EAS service. I removed the info for a few reasons: 1) "Delta Connection Airlines" is not an actual airline, just a brand. The brand also has its own article: Delta Connection 2) I may be wrong, but I believe the money goes to the actual carrier, SkyWest Airlines, so that is the article it should be mentioned on. 3) Whichever article the information should go in, I don't think the introduction area of the article is the appropriate place for it. Perhaps a new section in the SkyWest article explaining their EAS service, along with the subsidy info would be appropriate. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. HuffTheWeevil / talk / contribs 14:49, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok, that's fair, I can move it to the Delta Connection page.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 15:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Your false vandalism warnings

Please stop giving me false vandalism warnings. See WP:TEMPLAR. I removed them from MY talk page and now you even revert that on my talk page?? For the last time, stop that.--walkee^talkee 21:34, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Germany

Please do not misrepresent what I write. When it happens repeatedly it begins to look like a pattern of behaviour. It would also help me to continue assuming good faith on your part if you would avoid the repeated use of the word "suspect" when replying to me. I have suggested trimming a number of sections and presented perfectly valid arguments. Only on the subject of Nazi Germany, do you seem to regard the suggestions as "suspect", even though the text is longer than comparable texts elsewhere. Whatever your motives, please ensure that you observe Wikipedia's conduct guidelines. --Boson (talk) 20:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Deleting portions of the Weimar/Third Reich sub-section was the first thing you brought up for editing and no matter how rational my arguments have been and how many times I've agreed with you regarding other sections you refuse to stop pushing the idea that this section is what NEEDS to be re-shaped. I am also assuming good faith and have clearly made an effort to agree with you on many other points. I expect you to be just as considerate and not force me to have to repeat my arguments over and over and over again. Length is not currently an issue for the Weimar/Third Reich sub-section, I've listed many reasons why. And just a reminder, the sub-section is only 300 characters longer now than it was a few days ago. I suggest you work with me a bit more and don't be so inflexible when it comes to finding a common ground solution. If you read what I wrote today on the talk page you will see that I've already suggested ways to reduce the length that don't involve block deletions.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 20:49, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

On the issue of flexibility and cooperation: I think we are progressing very well on the other sections, considering that the issue at the moment is to identify problems, not (necessarily) to provide immediate solutions. In view of the edit warring that has occurred, I think it is best to separate the two phases of identifying problems and editing the text on the basis of consensus, except for obvious improvements. Occasional bold edits may be appropriate, but I think we should stick to WP:BRD. --Boson (talk) 22:28, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

History sections in Japanese station articles

Hi. In a recent edit to the Tokyo Skytree Station article here you mentioned in your edit summary that you thought it was "correct" formatting to move the "History" section to the top of the article. I'm curious as to what this is based on. Apart from the fact that it makes the formatting messy with the images having to be placed on the left-hand side disrupting subsequent sub-sections (not much fun on a small screen), my thinking is that people wishing to view the articles are more likely to want to read about the current state of the station before delving into the history details. I know that's generally how I read articles when I'm looking at them. The Japanese station articles I've seen and worked on generally seem to follow that logical order, so unless there is some compelling reason to change it, I personally think it would be best to continue with this arrangement. Anyway, I'd be interested to hear your views on it too. And thanks for adding some historical images to the articles in the process. --DAJF (talk) 14:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, DAJF. I got that understanding from the other articles I had read and it seems to be the case to include the history section at the top from the majority of the featured articles. Also on the Wiki project page it says that the order should be as follows (although it doesn't give a template):

"The lead paragraph shall include the name of the station as it appears on the system map, and not a short-hand name, but those can and should be mentioned later. It shall also mention the system, the city or area, and the line the station lies on, and, if notable, the location on that line.

The next information should be the area served by the station, and major establishments and attractions near it. A list of lesser but still notable places should be supplied later. The date service began should probably be here. Notable historic events specific to that rail station should go in the next paragraph.

A table should exist, displaying the line(s) and the next stations on that line, with a link to the appropriate line."

Since this doesn't say anything about the actual services at the station that has to come later but I see your point about the images being shown on the left hand side of a small screen. I guess that would be something to bring up on the talk page because maybe it's a common problem and should be included in the instructions but since everyone has a different type of screen it doesn't seem like a problem with an easy solution. I hope that helps.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 14:46, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for looking up that information, which was news to me. I'm still not convinced that that is the most logical order in which to arrange the sections, and as I mentioned above, I'm not happy with the way the layout of the images gets disrupted, but I'll leave the Tokyo Skytree Station article for now in case any other editors wish to comment or change the layout. Thanks for taking the time to reply. --DAJF (talk) 23:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Your reverts

You have some explaining to do. See Talk:Operation_Protective_Edge#Operation_Brother.27s_Keeper. Al-Andalusi (talk) 16:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

I got back to you. I see what you're saying about the 500 figure. I support changing that in the text. It was the 10 dead figure from Maan that I didn't see anywhere else so I didn't think it should be in the introduction. Feel free to made that change if you want to.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Commuter rail statistics

In this edit to commuter rail in North America ([2]), you changed the passenger numbers for Montreal's system from 73,900 to 7,600. I'm not sure if this was a typo or something, but that's an enormous difference. Was this on purpose? Conifer (talk) 04:48, 26 July 2014 (UTC) Hi Conifer, thanks for catching that. Yes it looks like that was a mistake. I double checked the source that's referenced there and it now has the correct stat for commuter rail. Thanks again!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 17:15, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Benina International Airport

Hi there, Monopoly31121993! Regarding this, I've checked the Syphax Airlines official website and Benghazi is not included as a current destination. I think it's best to wipe out the airline from the destinations table. Cheers.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 21:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Ok, I've done that now. The strange thing is that their booking system still allows you to select it as a destination even though their route map doesn't show it. I was also hoping maybe someone had some better knowledge about that airline because it seems like just about every city in Libya has them listed as a carrier... Any help you can give is greatly appreciated! Cheers!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 22:04, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Pittston, Pennsylvania

Hi there, I noticed you made some edits to the Pittston, Pennsylvania article. When you made this edit you added a source which you retrieved 5 years ago, and the source did not support what you wrote. Adding reliable sources is a cornerstone of Wikipedia. Please take a moment to actually verify your sources, and not just cut and paste them from other articles. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 12:14, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out, I went back and fixed it. Please feel free to add some references to the article, it looks like there's a lot of work to do.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 12:30, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Numbers of combatants killed

I am not assuming anything. WP policy is clear on this issue. Read WP:CALC. The PCHR stated the overall number of deaths and how many of those are civilians. Same goes for the IDF, which has stated the overall number of deaths and how many of those are militants. I am sticking to what the sources say. Please open up a discussion on the main talk page of the article for other editors to join in before starting an edit war. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 18:19, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

EkoGraf , When you have 3 categories and a source provides you with data for only one of them and you, as an editor, decide to guess the values of the other two categories (in this case deciding that they are all civilian deaths (IDF figures) and combatants (Gaza Government figures)) you are introducing new information into Wikipedia and that's not ok.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 08:04, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

If you are referring to unidentified killed when saying there is a 3rd category, than I would like to point out that the PCHR and the IDF have not stated at any time that they themselves have that category (unidentified). They have consistently referred to civilian or combatant dead, never mentioning any unidentified. EkoGraf (talk) 14:47, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Lets keep your arguments about this where they belong, on the talk page.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 15:46, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Your recent reversion in 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict

Hey! I noticed that you undid my edition. There, I had omitted an unreferenced part of a sentence. You've written "just look at the Casualties section under Israeli, there's a sourced sentence there" in your edition summary, as it seems. Is it really a rational reason for undoing an edition? Or It would be better if you had simply added the mentioned reference to the sentence, as WarKosign did?

Would you please either place a tag after the text that you would like a source for and not just delete text without fact checking it, or read parts of the page where you might find those sources. In this case you deleted text that was clearly cited in the text. Remember, the introduction is a summary of the text of the article.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 11:42, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

You are right mentioning the tag, but such an issue must be handled more carefully. We'd better respect the policies! every challenging material must be verified. This fact is right even for materials which do exist in the lead part. Mhhossein (talk) 14:30, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

I suggest you read WP:lede so that you can understand what the lede is about. It's a summary of facts already cited in the article. Unfortunately the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict is not a good example of a well written lede but that page will help you understand why you don't need to cite something in the lede if it has already been sourced on the same page.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 14:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your suggestion but I have read it before. As I told you, we should respect the policies! even that WP:lead verifies my opinion:

The lead must conform to verifiability and other policies. The verifiability policy advises that material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and quotations, should be supported by an inline citation. Because the lead will usually repeat information that is in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material.

Wasn't that a challengeable material? Mhhossein (talk) 04:16, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

It's only "challengeable" if it's not obviously true. You deleted material without even doing a basic check on the page from which you deleted it. Don't do that.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 18:55, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

You are jumping into conclusion using a wrong definition of "challengeable". I'm just telling you the wikipedia policies which we all should respect. Mhhossein (talk) 07:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Salem Depot

Hey, unless you have serious objections, I'm going to merge Salem Depot back into Salem (MBTA station). It's generally best, barring otherwise compelling reasons, to keep all the history of railroad stations in one area in one article*. Otherwise, a reader would have to skip back and forth between articles to get the complete history of the numerous stations that have served a half-mile area of Salem. Take a look at Lynn (MBTA station), Framingham Railroad Station, and Holyoke Railroad Station for what I've done with integrated histories.

*The only really compelling case I've found is Union Station (Providence) and Providence Station where a) the buildings have independent histories that can each fill a lengthy article and b) the stations are not separated by time and a small section of rail line, but a complete relocation of the entire right-of-way across a substantial section of downtown Providence. Cheers, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 06:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I would oppose you merging these in this case. The reason is it's a different building (which has certain architectural significance), it was located at a different location and it's from a completely different time period than the current station. In fact, it's probably one of the oldest stations in the U.S. There are lots of examples of other places that have separate pages for each of the previous stations (e.g. Central Station, Los Angeles, La Grande Station, River Station (Los Angeles), Union Station (Los Angeles)), even if the location was just next door to the station that replaced it they have separate pages because the buildings were architecturally unique and had unique historical significance. I would even consider doing something similar for the Lowell Boston and Maine R.R. Railroad Depot even though it's not currently done that way. I hope this makes sense. Cheers,Monopoly31121993 (talk) 08:39, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Going off of what Pi said, we have multiple articles down here on Cape Cod where the station was demolished, and then rebuilt. One such station which looks like it will be rebuilt is the one in Bourne, which transcends two different time periods. What Pi is saying is that there isn't a huge amount of information available to keep the one separate as well. Barring a sudden addition of large amounts of text that is relevant to the original station, I would support a merge as well. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 17:10, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Just because an article is a stub does not mean that's a reason for merging it. We're talking about historic stations, in different locations than the later stations and which have architectural importance. I think that's meets the notability criteria and therefore it should be a separate page.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:13, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Just because it could meet the notability criteria (and it only barely does if at all) doesn't mean there's any reason for it to be separate. You're scattering information over separate pages rather than putting it in one place; the entire article is currently two lines and two citations (one of which I doubt you have a copy of) copied right from the other article. (n.b.: before uploading LOC images to Commons, check first to see if someone else has already uploaded higher-resolution versions) The significance of the 1847 station is significantly greater as one step in the 1836-1847-1959-1987-2014 station progression (as a single article) than is it independently (in the definitive The Railroad Station: An Architectural History it gets a one-line writeup that gives it no more status than any other station of the time.)

The Los Angeles stations are a poor example; they were substantially separate buildings from different railroads, each with a rich history that's not merely a part of a succession of similar stations. The Salem stations were the same railroad, serving the exact same purpose, and separated by about three blocks. The article about the current MBTA station would make no sense without the context of previous stations, so why move part of that information to a separate article for absolutely no gain? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:35, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

User:Fletcher is the other substantial author of the existing article; they don't edit frequently so I've emailed them to notify them of the discussion. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:39, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

A completely different station in a separate location is clear evidence that it's not the same thing. And you're incorrect, it's not even the same railroad (MBTA vs. Boston and Maine). The history section should include links to any previous stations under further reading links, I've already added that.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Eastern RR to B&M to B&M under MBTA contract to MBTA with other operators has been a smooth transition; never were there different companies building competing stations. Exact same Eastern Route service with a different logo painted on the side of the train. The construction of new stations does not correlate with the change of operators. The article is not about the architecture of the specific building; it is about the Salem railroad station (which has been several different boxes serving exactly the same purpose).

I understand your desire to focus on the 1847 station - it's possibly the coolest-looking station I've ever seen - but I think it is still best discussed in the context of the other railroad station buildings that have served downtown Salem. Otherwise, a reader has to jump from article to article to understand the history of service to Salem. None of these stations exist in a vacuum; separating them into different articles either means ignoring historical context or repeating a whole lot of information. Neither the 1838 station nor the 1959 station have remotely enough to write an article about, much less pass notability. (The former has no known photographs; the latter is an ugly beige box and a couple rusted-out staircases.) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:58, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I'd favor merging unless someone thinks there's a lot more unique content to be added for the Depot. I basically see this topic as several incarnations of the main passenger rail station in Salem, even if they weren't always at the same location. That can be covered in one article. Fletcher (talk) 01:22, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and merged it, since it is clear that there is consensus to merge the articles. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 01:34, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, sure... less than 24 hours, no requests for additional comments from anyone but the two regular editors of the page into which you merged the article. That's not how consensus gets reached.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:08, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Get off your high horse; none of this would have happened if you'd bothered to ask anyone else before deciding to split the article. Local preference has long been to consolidate railroad history where possible instead of splitting it up. Meanwhile, Pittsfield is an absolute mess with three articles instead of one. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:04, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Then go ahead and revert me, set up a merge discussion, and wait six months for more interested editors than us four to become involved. The reason I did that is because it's not going to draw in a huge amount of people, and the article itself isn't big enough to support on its own, as it's incredibly short for something that you're planning on turning into its own article. If you can find some more material, as Fletcher mentioned above, then feel free to make a good case to keep it separate, as there are three editors who do not think that it is worth having as a separate article.

Debate over Holocaust picture in the lead

Hi, I had a debate on the Holocaust talk page about the image used in the lead. The image currently used shows Jews at a railway station. In my opinion, this photo does not capture the nature of the Holocaust. I proposed a photo depicting mass murder, but a number of editors disagreed with this and re-instated the railway station photo. I just wanted to know your opinion on this issue.OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 20:44, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

OnBeyondZebrax, thanks for contacting me. I'll post my comments if I have any on the talk page for the page but as far as I can tell the picture is not of Jews at a railway station but of Auschwitz concentration camp and Nazi officers are "selecting" women and children to be sent to their deaths in the gas chambers. There also seem to be quite a few pictures further down the page of mass murder.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 10:50, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, kelapstick, Thanks for this. I wrote on the talk page that it looks like the entire article was written by one editor whose only contribution to Wikipedia was to create that page and then to make a whole lot of 1 character spelling corrections on other pages. To me it seems highly likely that this person was a paid editor and given the "awards" section of the article it seems likely. What would you suggest I do now?Monopoly31121993 (talk) 19:15, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

2014 Burkinabé uprising

Good on the edits. only thing is you mentioned riots here then change d other stuff like the def min. its sourced in th article

Also the violence today are riots..Lihaas (talk) 23:43, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Just because one source you have put on this page calls them riots doesn't mean they are. These are people protesting for their freedom and you're basically taking the racist view that these are a bunch of savages who just start "rioting". That's racist and since you don't have sources to back it up you certainly shouldn't be painting the article with that stuff. Please remove it.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 23:46, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Station, Philadelphia

I'm trying to sort out the confusion regarding the name of this station. There was a 24th Street Station about 600 feet north of the B & O Station, but that was for trolleys. I've been able to find no sources or maps that identify the B & O Station as "24th Street Station." Do you have any evidence for this? == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 22:03, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

BoringHistoryGuy, Good catch! I think you have a point here. On this page [3] a reported transcription of a timetable from the 1930s show the name as "Chestnut Street Station" and this page about the architect of the station [4] also uses that name. I'll add this but I'm not sure if we should just change the name of the whole page now that we know this. If you think that the page should be renamed feel free to do that. I would support that idea but you should also mention this on the talk page. Thanks again!Monopoly31121993 (talk) 22:43, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

You should be aware of the discussion on the Wiki Commons talk page: Category:24th Street Station (Philadelphia)

Jersey City, New Jersey

Hi. Thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Jersey City, New Jersey, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:44, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Senate Intelligence Committee report on CIA torture

HI , I noticed that you removed properly sourced info in this edit, with the editsummary "deadlink removed". This is an inappropriate edit summary: It was more than removing a dead link, there was no dead link, and even IF THERE HAD BEEN a dead link , WP:DEADLINK advises NOT to remove source and sentence.

Your disruptive contributions at the Nigeria article

Hello,

In the past few days, you've been adding images that are considered inappropriate for the main Nigeria article. it is a long standing consensus to limit such images to the articles concerned (civil war)....According to Wikipedia policies, you cannot override a standing consensus without discussing with other editors. If you continue to make disruptive edits, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 13:29, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Jamie Tubers. I have done nothing but repeatedly adjust the image on the page to reflect the restrictions which YOU have mentioned. If there is a standing concensus related something on the page I am now asking you again to make that clear. You said that the image I used should not be there because it was unclear who the people in the image were. I corrected that. What's the problem? Please try to be polite on wikipedia and always assume good faith. Not assuming good faith can also get you blocked from editing so please be aware of that.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 14:53, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Banjul International Airport

I don't agree on removing the charter / seasonal charters from this page, due to them being "private": <1> Standard convention on other Airport pages is to include these flights, as they are valid and do exist. <2> They are actually bookable. e.g. The Thomas Cook Gatwick service via www.charterflights.co.uk

• Hi 90.244.7.66, welcome to Wikipedia. On Wikipedia we have a set of rules about for which airlines to include on pages and the most important thing to remember is to include references so that other users can verify the claims made on the page. Things without verification can be removed as was the case with some of the airlines you referenced.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 10:45, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Your edits on Nigeria

Hello, T I reverted this edit that you made because the caption is ambiguous (the caption you reverted is more precise on Obasanjo's exact time in office, so its a better caption). Besides, the section heading already includes the time frame of the military era; so adding that to an image just below the heading doesn't make sense, especially at the expense of stating the tenure of the image's subject in office.

While Wikipedia encourages users to be bold, please try to be sure the edits you make are actually very necessary. There are editors who work so hard to fix these minor but much needed corrections, in order to make articles comprehensible. It's not nice to always try to sabotage their efforts. We are all here to make Wikipedia better. Regards.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Jamie Tubers, this is the second time you have assumed bad faith and accused me of trying to "sabotage" the page. This is the last time I will warn you.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

• I haven't assumed bad faith, I only told you your edits are being disruptive. I'm not accusing you of anything or attacking you. Also note that always accusing others of "assuming bad faith" is also a form of assuming bad faith, which can be termed as personal attack. You think a user is assuming bad faith? You should demonstrate good faith, instead of accusing them.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 23:23, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Monopoly, this is an issue that seems to be occurring multiple times. You seem to be very quick to accuse other editors of acting in bad faith when they disagree with you, and to threaten bans that you have no authority to enact. When other editors say your edits are disruptive, you should be looking at what you are doing rather than lashing out. If you honestly believe that they are acting in bad faith, you should take it to dispute resolution or flag down an uninvolved admin (the latter of which I have found leads to a quick and decisive resolution) rather than making accusations.

Guardian article on HS2

I would like to know why you keep reverting my edits regarding the cost comparison between High Speed 2 and California High Speed Rail. When I give the cost per kilometer, you say that "The guardian article never said that". If you read the article, you'll find that the cost of phase 1 of High Speed 2 will cost £21.4bn. The length of phase 1, from London to Birmingham, which is easily obtainable from High Speed 2's Wikipedia article, is 190 kilometers (citation here length (but with old cost figures)). If you do the currency calculation and divide you will get around the figure I had put on the page.

Unless you have a good reason why my reasoning is incorrect, I will put that comparison back. I will add citations for currency conversion and route length, since I assume that what's you found lacking. --hello, i'm a member | talk to me! 09:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

When you say that the Guardian says something that they didn't you cannot say that you are citing the Guardian. You are correct that £21.4/190= a figure close the dollar ammount that you placed in the article but since the Guardian never said that and you did all the math then you can't say the Guardian said it. That would be untrue and could be interpreted as an attempt to use the Guardian's legitimacy to justify your point.

I also think you should consider the fact that the World Bank actually compared projects which have been built with the estimated California costs. That's quite different than comparing them with a project which has not been built and may never be built.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 10:06, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

German Casualties and way too many German language references

The Introduction to the search service report was written by Horst Köhler, the German president. Those are the current official German figures. Go to page 12, I posted the PDF file online, use Google translate if you can't read German. Regards,--Woogie10w (talk) 10:24, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

This is clear cut, there should be no dispute--Woogie10w (talk) 10:33, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

The problem is that if this is a RS then it should be available in English (somewhere). English Wikipedia does not use foreign language sources when there is an English version available mainly for the simple reason that the people who use English Wikipedia are mainly English speakers who wouldn't be able to verify alleged facts written in German language sources. Please use your familiarity with this issue and your language ability to find another citation to back up this source.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 10:45, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

On Wikipedia foreign language sources are acceptable, in any case there is no claim that these figures are correct. In fact the article has a NPOV and lists the various sources without any claims that they correct.--Woogie10w (talk) 10:55, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

What are the correct figures, please tell me German casualties in World War II #A compilation of published statistics for German casualties--Woogie10w (talk) 10:59, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm not saying that the statistics aren't correct I'm just asking you, as a German language speaker and someone who knows about this topic to also search from an English language source which references the RS you think should be in the article. The reason English language sources are always preferred is that it allows the page's readers to click through to the source and read the document in full detail. Thanks again for your help with the page, I hope this isn't too much to ask.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 11:05, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Whats the problem?, there is a list of reliable sources in English. --Woogie10w (talk) 11:17, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

The problem is we keep having multiple references that are in German and can't be verified by me (an English language editor) and certainly not the vast majority of English language readers. Just look at the last sentence for the Introduction, there are 6 references for total German civilian deaths and 5 of them are in German.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 11:23, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

A minor thing

Hi Monopoly31121993,

I'd just like to stipulate that your apparantly self-deducted historical revisionism, regarding that "Iran was never a "close" US ally", is factually and verifiably unfortunately incorrect. A simple search gives tons of hits, just to name a few;

• "The most critical target for radical change was Iran, which under its dictatorial shah had been America's closest ally in the region, apart from Israel." -- Jenkins, Philip. (2006). Decade of Nightmares : The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America: The End of the Sixties and the Making of Eighties America page 153. Oxford University Press, USA. ISBN 978-0198039723

• "Richard Nixon and his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, hoped that “one of America's closest allies, the Shah of Iran (...)" -- Little, Douglas. (2009). American Orientalism: The United States and the Middle East since 1945. page 145. Univ of North Carolina Press. ISBN 978-0807877616

• "A key country in a turbulent region and the recipient of some of the most inconsistent treatment meted out during and after the Cold War, Iran has been, in turn, both one of America's closest allies and an 'axis of evil' or 'rogue' state (...)" -- Murray, Donette. (2009). US Foreign Policy and Iran: American-Iranian Relations Since the Islamic Revolution page 8. Routledge. ISBN 978-1135219895

• "The Shah had been a close ally of the United States for many years and by 1978 had become our number one (...)" -- Flood, Patrick James. (1998). The Effectiveness of UN Human Rights Institutions page 102. Greenwood Publishing Group. ISBN 978-0275960520

If you're interested about this era, I'd recommend reading some more literature, documentaries, etc. No further intention meant, just wanted to point this minor error out that you furthermore mentioned in your edit summary. :-) Bests and take care - LouisAragon (talk) 02:41, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi LouisAragon, Thank you for pointing this out and for taking care to provide citations. My intention was not revisionism but my understanding is that the Shah was a bit of a rouge when it came to foreign policy and hoped that Iran could become a leading regional power, if not a global leader of the non-aligned movement. Yes, the Shah's Iran was an ally of the U.S. but a "close ally"? That sounds like something that needs citation and since this article has absolutely no mention at all of the Shah's "alliance" with the U.S. and Western countries it is not something that belongs in the introduction to the article. Even if the text did reflect the content of the article, I would prefer that it be a more neutral phrasing by removing the word "close" and simply keeping "ally".Monopoly31121993 (talk) 10:50, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Jacques Kuoh Moukouri

Hi Monopoly. Just wanted to give you a friendly heads up that your newly created article needs reliable sources added as it currently has none. All articles MUST be sourced. Also the article does not establish the encyclopedic notability of the subject. As it is brand new, I am not tagging it. However other editors are likely to do so and if not improved, it is likely to be nominated for deletion. Thank you for your contributions. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Revisions on Calais Jungle

I would like to discuss some edits you made to the Calais Jungle article.

• You added an image description stating the population of the camp (see right), but it is outdated, more recent numbers are named elsewhere in the article. It would be good to use the same numbers.

The numbers were those given by the source (VOA) and it also shows the date. The article could have a chart showing how rapidly the population has increased but I haven't found a good list of stats over time to make a chart with. Please send them to me if you have them.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

The camp was estimated to have around 4,000 occupants in October, 2015. Almost all were living in temporary shelters like these.

• The website https://calaismigrantsolidarity.wordpress.com/introduction-to-calais/ does not seem to be a WP:RS. Please find a better source for the information, otherwise it can be deleted.

I can look around for additional sources about discrimination against migrants (it shouldn't be too hard to find) but a local NGO can also be a RS so I'm not sure that's correct. Still, I'll keep looking and would appreciate any help you can offer if you can read French.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

• The section Opposition, racism and discrimination against migrants does not really belong in this article, as the described event in general take place outside the Jungle itself. I would suggest moving it to Migrants around Calais. If you wish, you may participate in the merging discussion linked above the articles.

I'm not sure I agree with you that opposition to migrants in Calais should not be mentioned in an article about the largest migrant camp in Calais. That seems highly relevant to the topic. You are right that this could also be on the Migrants around Calais page and I will add it there as soon as that page is merged. I have already suggested that it be merged with Calais migrant crisis (1999–present) so please feel free to add your weight to that discussion.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 15:54, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Your edits on Germans

Hello. Please stop making undiscussed changes to the article. The article is explicitly about the ethnic group, regardless of which country they live in, not about people living in Germany, regardless of ethnicity, just like there are many articles about other ethnic groups here on en-WP. Meaning that data for religious affiliation for people living in Germany, regardless of background/ethnicity, does NOT belong in the article. And rewriting the lead to suit your taste is not acceptable without a thorough prior discussion with other editors on the talk page, and a consensus among editors there supporting your changes. Thomas.W ^talk 18:17, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

• Judging by the edit summary of your latest edit on the article you don't even know the difference between Germans and Germanic peoples, so why do you insist on editing the article? The article you're repeatedly adding irrelevant material to, Germans, is about an ethnic group that is a subgroup of Germanic peoples, a group of closely related peoples that originated in Scandinavia, and spread from there to many other parts of Europe some 2,000 years ago, including to what much later became Germany (see Germanic peoples). A large group of peoples that also includes Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, Dutch people and several other ethnic groups, just like Slavic peoples is a large group of closely related ethnic groups. Thomas.W ^talk 09:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Wow, Thomas, way to be rude and disrespectful to another editor. Would you like to have an admin arbitrator to help us discuss this without you throwing around statements like "you don't even know the difference between..." Relax. I will bring this discussion to the Talk page for Germany where it should be. And yes, the article about "Germans" (who are people who hold German passports) and Ethnic Germans (An article that you seem to think should have the name "Germans") are two different things. Just as the pages for Ethnic Russians and Russians already reflects this very issue.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 11:07, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
    • There is no separate article about Ethnic Germans, just a redirect to German diaspora, there's also no article named Ethnic Russians, just a redirect to Russian diaspora, it's the article named Germans that is about the ethnic group called Germans (German diaspora just lists where they live, how many they are estimated to be and approximately how long they have lived there, and the same goes for Russian diaspora, while the background/history of the ethnic groups are in Germans and Russians). And by all means feel free to contact any "admin arbitrator" you wish... Thomas.W ^talk 11:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
      • As I said. Please have this convo on the talk page so other editors can know your POV.Monopoly31121993 (talk) 17:04, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
        • Which part of "no, the article is not about people who hold German passports, but about ethnic Germans" (read the article, for crying out loud, the scope of the article is clearly stated in the first sentence of the lead) and "there is no article named Ethnic Germans" was it that you didn't understand? Thomas.W ^talk 17:35, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
          • Oh get a life...Monopoly31121993 (talk) 20:32, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

• I came here out of curiosity after making what has become these days one of my rare excursions to WT:WER because I find the WER project becoming increasingly abused. I found your going there complaining about Thomas.W to be clearly inappropriate, if not wholly churlish. I've reviewed the entire contents of your talk page and many of your edits. All I can say is that the comment made to you by someone about getting off your high horse strikes a chord. See WP:BOOMERANG, and if you really do want an admin to arbitrate on your issues, I can't do it myself now because that would be a breach of the trust the community has vested in me, but I'd be more than happy to put your issues before a committee of other, uninvolved admins on your behalf.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:December 2016 Congo protests.png

A tag has been placed on File:December 2016 Congo protests.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DRC

I added some info to Independent National Electoral Commission (Democratic Republic of the Congo), which you may enjoy. There should be more--I'm really not an expert on the DRC. I will try to create a few more relevant articles in the next few days, however.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:17, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Reference errors on 29 December

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Minneapolis Great Northern Depot page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:15, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Stop the edit war at Gorsuch nomination page

Your recent editing history at Neil Gorsuch Supreme Court nomination shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.--SlackerDelphi (talk) 14:46, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

BLP discretionary sanctions

There is not consensus for inclusion of the "Fascism" information on Gorush articles, and policy for BLP articles is that once information has been removed on credible BLP grounds it must not be restored without consensus. If you continue in trying to unilaterally edit war this information in, you will likely face sanctions. Discretionary sanctions have been authorized for all BLP articles, as well as all American politics articles. ResultingConstant (talk) 14:48, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Your question in your recent Edit summary is answered, to start, here. I'd say there's no big conflict on your restoration of the section-head but you can of course pursue it further if you wish; or wait and see. Swliv (talk) 02:12, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk page remark--in the "Old News" category

Sorry, but you are quite incorrect. If SlackerDelphi wants to remove that comment, that's their good right; the guideline you cite doesn't say they can't. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 23:29, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

• By the same token, Slacker, I don't know what you're going on about in that edit summary. Drmies (talk) 23:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.
