Userbox
Hello, I've fixed your userbox. The image needs to be included with fixed size and without thumb-frame. --Ikar.us (talk) 01:51, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to The Wikipedia Adventure!
- Hi ! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.

Mistake
I think you made a mistake with this edit. As far as I tell—and count—the cited sourced lists 43 distinct editors 
- DVdm (talk) 21:02, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry--may have counted wrong. Oops! Anyway, thanks for updating it from 42. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Origamite (talk • contribs) 21:04, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
- No problem. Don't forget to make the correction. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Edit conflict
We appear to have bumped heads. I redirected Software Evolution Process to the existing Software evolution at the same time (well, technically, just before) you userfied the article. So now we have a user space article consisting solely of a redirect to an article space article. How do we fix? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- I vote we delete the userification. OK? Origamite (talk) 15:16, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- I don't know that there's a deletion process that would cover this. As it stands, the existing user page pointing to article space is probably harmless. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:20, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- I agree, now that you point it out. Nobody would ever visit it, probably.

Removing redlinks
Hi, I noticed you've been making lots of edits simply to remove redlinks (like this one). Although it may be true that links were not necessary in the cases where you removed them, your edit summaries indicated an inclination to categorically remove redlinks. I wanted to remind you that often, redlinks are actually helpful to Wikipedia. They encourage editors to make new articles by revealing the holes in Wikipedia's coverage. You can check out WP:RED for more information on the guideline, including when redlinks are not appropriate and can be removed. Thanks, and happy editing! ~ Boomur [☎] 15:04, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry; I believe the article should be created before the link in a list. I apologize for any confusion. OrigamitePlease talk here 15:11, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
- It's no problem, just try to adhere to the guideline in the future. ~ Boomur [☎] 15:29, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
Summaries
One very small nitpick - when you revert obvious vandalism, don't quote the relevant parts in your summary (e.g., "ADMINS ARE IDIOTS" or something like that). Just revert and move on. Cheers! §FreeRangeFrogcroak 17:18, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry about that one; the message was in binary and I wanted it to be obvious why. OrigamitePlease talk here 20:52, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
My Edit
Hey, I have edited the page and you have asked me " What Chinese whisper" and cited that there seem to be a valid source. Well, the source itself cited a blog and basically copied and pasted all of its content from the blog ( talk about lazy journalism!). I am not sure, you are aware of the dynamic of the two mosques in Birmingham. This is the root of such allegations. If, there was any truth in what was said then there would have been a criminal investigation. So, do reconsider the post.

ANI
Hi there Origamite. I just wanted to respond to your last ANI post here rather than at ANI, as I'd be drifting a bit off-topic and people may not like that. This is my first real involvement in ANI, and it has been educational. I think that what you're seeing there is really the dumping ground of Wikipedia, where editors come to dump their problems, real or imaginary (or real but created by them, as in the case I was responding to). 99% of the time, people seem to work out their problems one way or the other without resort to ANI or other "drama boards." But there are a hard core of troublemakers, some of which (and I'm not referring to anyone in particular) are I think literally mentally ill, and are "acting out" their issues on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a mental hospital and is not set up to deal with people with serious outside issues, and hopes that they just go away. It is worse if they are considered "content creators," for then they are given a pass no matter how much they damage the atmosphere for everyone else, as long as they are creating articles on obscure subjects nobody cares about. Perhaps worst of all are people who don't have mental issues but behave as if they do, out of a streak of sadism. Anyway, I hope you're otherwise enjoying Wikipedia. Coretheapple (talk) 00:08, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I realize that that is the dumping ground; you and Wondering55 had a particularly bad one. I've seen many talk page resolutions, so rest assured that I know that it's the 1% of real problems at ANI (or problems blown out of proportion, or people who don't get where content disputes go). I know there are many good content creators, and only a few bad ones, but the bad ones seem to get 99% of the attention. I do enjoy Wikipedia, I just got a bit blown away by those who assume bad faith and think others are trying to single-handedly wreck the encyclopedia on ANI. Thank you for the discussion, OrigamitePlease talk here 00:19, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the brownie. I notice we've both been on the project for about the same time but you haven't contributed too much. You must really have a life! Ha, some of us don't. It actually took some months before I finally found that there were a certain subset of articles that I felt I could contribute to. Until then I felt pretty useless here. Fortunately there are vast areas of tranquility, consisting of people writing about stuff that interests them. Take care, Coretheapple (talk) 00:28, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- I guess...Actually, I felt a bit upset with myself after I put a semi-joke, semi-serious association in the wrong place (it was userified). I remembered the password in November to edit a group I belong to, where the tense was 2008ish, so I updated it while remaining without COI. It was just luck that I came across Special:Log/Newusers, and that's where I edit from mostly now. I revert any new editor vandalism, and I'm happy there.

Mitrabarun
The best way for you to deal with Mitrabarun is to ignore him. There's nothing about the situation that actually requires your attention, and I'm pretty hardened to being accused of all kinds of things.—Kww(talk) 19:58, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I've decided to end my involvement, but I will keep it watchlisted just to observe what happens. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 20:11, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- I sort of felt the same way as Kww, when I took a look at the talk page as you requested. Since he's blocked, I don't think it matters too much what happens on that page. The problem is if he is unblocked, and unfortunately sometimes administrators are excessively compassionate in that regard. Coretheapple (talk) 20:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
- Like I said; watchlist. If they want to unblock him, we can let them know. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 20:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

POLEMIC
What is wrong? "Users should generally not maintain in public view negative information related to others without very good reason. Negative evidence, laundry lists of wrongs, collations of diffs and criticisms related to problems, etc., should be removed, blanked, or kept privately (i.e., not on the wiki) if they will not be imminently used, and the same once no longer needed." This isn't "other editors"; this is my user page! Why can't I display negative information pertaining to "myself"?! Am I interpreting POLEMIC wrongly? It's more convenient listing it out than scouring for my block log... ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:18, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I suppose it doesn't violate policy if you took out the part about magnanimous admins, but you quoted it yourself, "collations of diffs and criticisms related to problems, etc., should be removed, blanked, or kept privately (i.e., not on the wiki) if they will not be imminently used, and the same once no longer needed." Any user can check your block log, and you seem to be glorifying the blocks. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 12:26, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- If you look... I took that part out before you rollbacked my edit! And the line both you and I quoted pertains to information of others. Surely I can talk bad about myself, can't I? ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:32, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yes — I didn't realize that until later. Also, why do you want that on the page? Any admin who's deciding how long to block in the future would check Special:log/block first. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 12:36, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- I find it gratifying, is there a problem? So long as it won't get me blocked I wish to have it there. ☯ Bonkers The Clown \(^_^)/ Nonsensical Babble ☯ 12:42, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
- Without the admins, feel free. I just panicked when I saw you putting up what appeared to be the same thing. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 12:43, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

I have notified Oversight and Emergency. The death threat is probably an extremely bad joke rather than the real thing, but I expect that an admin on WP:ANI will decide that an extremely bad joke that appears to be a death threat is blockable. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Say what?
Exactly was wrong with calling myself a thin skinned dick? Darkness Shines (talk) 22:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- I just find it nicer--you know, children read ANI too. But you're right, technically there was nothing wrong with what you did. Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 22:37, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Of course there was nothing technically wrong with what Darkness Shines did. Your edit makes it look like you've magically sorted a problem the two of us managed to sort ourselves several hours earlier, it makes it look like a problem we had indeed solved might not be solved because you completely changed all the wording, and most seriously the warning you left Darkness Shines Darkness, please don't repeat the behavior you exhibited in the previous closing summary. makes it looks like DS left some wholly unacceptable comment that needed to be redacted and warranted a warning from you, when that's simply not the case. In short, your edit is misleading and causes problems. Please don't do that again.
- I don't actually agree with DS original closing summary either (much to harsh on themselves - it takes two to tango), so if either of you could just amend the closure to say "RESOLVED" that would, I believe, be for the best. Nick (talk) 22:49, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Look-I misunderstood it. I actually just saw it at a glance and thought he was passive-aggressively insulting you. I sincerely apologize and will remove my comment and change it to "Resolved". Origamite\(·_·\)(/·_·)/ 22:52, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

U5
U5 isn't really for things that come under G11, like that NY Actors whatever it was user page. That was simple spam. U5 is more for the CV or the rant, or the fantasy football table - things we couldn't get speedied before. Spam has had G11 or a long time, and especially with a spamusername, is the harder hit. U5 is mainly personal stuff - misuse as webhost - that could be innocent in intention. A bit like A11, which is things that are not harmful like real hoaxes. Spam isn't innocent in the main.

24.254.190.140 (talk) 19:19, 26 September 2014 (UTC) Dear Origamite: I am requesting a reconsider for the following reasons: The Shuffled Manuscript Theory is unique to me and there is no other literature or author that describe the matter to appeal to, and being poor, I have not the means to promote my books with advertizing dollars, and unlike those on Fox Channel who get free plugs for their writings, I am relatively unknown. Therefore there are no other articles other than the internet press release initially sent out by the publishers, SBPRA books, when my book hit market. Writers like Spinoza and Moffatt and the Jesus Movement arbitrarily removed or shifted scripture around without specific warrant other than subjectivity. I have no other authority to appeal to above myself other than God (who made it evident to me). The proof of the theory is in the results. May I suggest that you acquire a copy of "Primordial Consecution" from Amazon.com to see what I mean. Please reconsider its inclusion in Wikipedia.

Julesgreg (talk) 16:58, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for taking to time to review. I have endeavoured to make the biography more neutral, and less like an advertisement which was not my intention. I have supplied verifiable references for my claims. I am a UK academic interested in the art of tattooists and their relationship with the art establishment. The girl I am submitting a biography of has been noticed by the UK press and industry press for her considerable artistic talent yet has no art school training unlike some tattooists. I would like to get this right as there are other people I could cover in the same tattoo section who are notable in the tattoo field - especially in the history. I am new to Wikipedia but support the aims and would like to contribute to the project in this way. If you could please highlight sections you take issue with I will take note and edit. Thank you Julesgreg (talk) 16:58, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for comments. Early cites are problematic - personal information has been taken from asking both Aimee and her father on separate occasions, who was also a tattooist. I'm finding it difficult to think of a secondary source for this information.
I could perhaps find the publications from her very early career though as these were publications for the NHS. Julesgreg (talk) 23:56, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I would like a few more tips or specific content areas that are believed to not fit the Wikipedia policies for articles of inclusion. This article is meant to be a companion to an existing article and provide a singular source of relevant, up to date information regarding the respected architecture firm. Similar pages exist for other architecture firms and I have attempted to model the content and tone. Thanks in advance for any specifics and assistance you can provide. Cheers.

Thank you for your insight. I have deleted some of the more "advertisement" like statements and filled in with diversified citations. I agree that the award section was disproportionate, with such a decorated firm, my intent was to cite awards of projects that were mentioned in the history portion of the article. My hope is that this article will grow organically through the coming years as other enthusiasts add their own perspective to the firms work. Please advise on any other changes you deem appropriate. Thanks in advance. Cheers.

First, thank you very much for the polite and constructive feedback. I'm not sure what happened, but I thought I submitted an updated version of this article that did contain third-party documentation and the proper formatting.

Brian Meitner (talk) 14:19, 9 October 2014 (UTC) I understand my article for submission was declined due to it reading like an advertisement or from a subjective point of view. It was stated, "we need articles about the hotel not ones saying 'this exists'". I do not understand what this means exactly as the article is about the hotel, and yes it does exist. Also, it reads exactly like its sister hotel's Wikipedia page, The Sheraton on the Falls. If you could give me more information as to why it was declined, or what specifically should be adjusted I would appreciate it. I personally am well written enough scholastically to take an objective look on topics, and if this is not objective then nor is the Sheraton on the Falls page in my opinion. If there is another reason, such as there is not enough information or that there is no history then I would understand as I believe that is an adequate reason. However, the quote above does not equate an adequate explanation in my opinion. If you could expand upon the explanation I would appreciate it.

Hi Origamite
A question. While I am waiting for the review of the resubmitted Aimée Cornwell biography - is it possible to go ahead and submit 3 other biographies which I have made 'offline'? I can't seem to find out how to do this, or do I have to have the original one approved first? I would appreciate some clarification here. thanks Julesgreg (talk) 23:01, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- If you have them made offline, copy-paste them into their own pages (ex. Draft:YOURPAGEHERE for an article about YOURPAGEHERE) and add an AfC template. There's no restriction on having multiple article drafts going at the same time. To make a page, type Draft:YOURPAGEHERE into the search bar and create the page from the redlink it gives you at the top of the results. If you have any questions let me know.

Greetings, Origamite!
Thank you for reviewing my recent submission. As I'm sure you noticed, the draft you reviewed was a rewrite of a first version. My goal was to adjust any language that sounded persuasive or non-objective, and also to add more sources supporting the content in the entry. I'm new to the Wikipedia game and could use your advice on specific problems from the submission at it stands now. Just want to better understand which pieces are reading in the tone of an advertisement.

Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews
Hello QPT. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.
The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.
If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)
If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.
Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.
I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).

Vze2wgsm1 (talk) 18:17, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
I rewrote the sandbox submission, I think it is useful to expand on Stevenseas ideas.
Reference the first post to the article ELECTROSTATIC INDUCTION: TALK
Stevenseas identified a conflict between separation of plus and minus charges within metal and the high (Lorentz-Drudze) electrical conductivity of metals. Extrapolating, superconductive material cannot contain a separation of plus and minus charges. In the article's first figure, pith ball electroscopes attached to a brass cylinder indicate that a brass cylinder indicated charge separation. The caption is as follows.
"Demonstration of induction, in the 1870s. The positive terminal of an electrostatic machine is placed near an uncharged brass cylinder, causing the left end to acquire a positive charge and the right to acquire a negative charge. The small pith ball electroscopes hanging from the bottom show that the charge is concentrated at the ends." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction
The following examples also show the ability of metal to acquire and retain a field pattern similar to the external electric field that surrounds the above brass cylinder.
1. Aluminum foil strips hung on a soda can's tab will separate when the soda can is nearby a charged balloon. http://www.arborsci.com/cool/part-1-electricity-all-charged-up
2. An induced charge at one end of a long wire can cause the other end of the wire to attract a charged pith ball. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/discoveries-projects/discoveries/electrostatics/v/history-of-static-electricity-language-of-coins-6-12
Within the first figure, the pith balls attached to the brass cylinder are a means of measuring volts. Based on the following quote, my (very rough) estimate of the volts represented by the pith balls on the brass cylinder is at least 100V.
"the accumulation of enough charge to detect with an electroscope requires hundreds or thousands of volts" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroscope
The 100V is in conflict with the rate of thermal energy production (W), caused by the volts within the brass cylinder (W = V^2/R). The equation V^2 = W/R makes measurement of the rate of thermal energy production a means of determining volts within the brass rod. A 5mm diameter solid metal rod's resistance should be ~0.001 ohm/m. 100V continuously applied to a 0.001 ohm brass rod would incinerate the rod within a second.
In order for any object (the brass cylinder, soda can, or wire) to contain the voltage gradient, they must be capacitors (a device that stores electrostatic energy). A body with zero capacitance cannot store electrostatic energy.
"Capacitance is the ABILITY of a body to store an electrical charge ... Any object that can be electrically charged exhibits capacitance." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance
Anytime a capacitor stores an electrostatic energy, the capacitor will contain a voltage gradient (W=1/2 CV^2). The definition of a voltage gradient is:
"The voltage per unit length along a resistor or other conductive path." http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/voltage+gradient .
By this definition, voltage gradients are LIMITED to within objects (assuming non-conductive media surrounds the object).
For example: The turboelectric effect of your shoe rubbing against a carpet can create electrostatic energy somewhere near the layer of molecules between shoes and floor. Almost instantly afterwards, your body acquires a voltage gradient across the length of your body. In compliance with the definition of voltage gradient, the voltage gradient itself will extend from one extremity of your body to the other, but not beyond your body.
Electronic voltmeters are devices that measure relative volts along voltage gradients. They require two points of contact with the charged object, because electronic voltmeters measure relative volts. Electrons within the voltage gradient can accelerate, as indicated by the definition of electronvolt.
Any object with a voltage gradient will also have a field surrounding the object. Otherwise, electroscopes would not be able to detect the amount of volts within the object. An object's external electric field can attract or repel other charged objects. For example, a pair of nearby charged Styrofoam pellets will have an attractive and/or repulsive force between them. The pellets have a voltage gradient within them; the field between the pellets does not have a voltage gradient.
Note: Pith ball and the gold leaf electroscopes can detect an amount of ELECTRIC FIELD external to the object. These electroscopes do not require contact with the charged object.
Moving a charged object toward an uncharged insulator will not charge the uncharged insulator. Charging an insulator by this method requires force times distance between charges. The charged object's external field interacts differently with metals, than with insulators. Moving a charged object toward a gold leaf electrometer will cause gold leaf movement, without the requirement of a previous charge within the pair of leafs.
Influence machines "... convert mechanical work into electrostatic energy by the aid of a small initial charge which is continually being replenished and reinforced." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_generator#History
If uncharged insulation material substituted for the metal within the above brass cylinder, soda can and long wire, the objects would NO LONGER respond to a nearby external electric field. Uncharged insulators must first acquire electrostatic energy, (and a voltage gradient) before the insulators have an external field.
People have known the properties of voltage gradients and the properties of the field surrounding a voltage gradient for a long time. However, the use of point charges to model the behavior of voltage gradients and the field surrounding a voltage gradient can sometimes produce conflicting, or confusing results.
For example: The calculations for a parallel plate capacitor use point charge fields to predict the electric fields within the capacitor. The fields reinforce each other within the volume between the plates, but cancel each other outside this volume. A calculated zero net electric field exists outside of the pair of parallel plates. http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/302l/lectures/node27.html
If two charged parallel plate capacitors are nearby each other, there is no calculated attraction between the capacitors, because the charges within the capacitor cancel each other. In reality, an external electric field also causes attraction / repulsion between capacitors. The external electric field is measureable with an electroscope.

Hello Origamite. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), or content (CSD A3), moments after they are created, as you did at Gil Stose Photography. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. I know in the interest of WP:DTTR I should have written more original prose in this notice, but I couldn't think of any. I think the page will ultimately be a speedy candidate for notability, but this tag was too quick IMO. — Bill W. (Talk) (Contrib) (User:Wtwilson3) — 18:12, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi Origamite,
thanks for taking the trouble to read my would be entry on the Belfast Metropolitan Residents' Group (BMRG).
It was returned on the 5th, with the guidance that it should be more encyclopedic in tone and avoid (excellent phrase!) peacock terms. Perfectly reasonable comment.
I would like to amend the document and submit it again. In doing this, it would be very helpful if you could pick a couple of the worst offending sentences and 'clean' them for me, as examples of the tone that would be acceptable to you.
I could then work to that tone and hopefully produce an acceptable entry. This could cut out a lot of swithering and maybe messing around or sending the piece back and forward as I try to find the right pitch.
With thanks, yours, Peter Carr
BMRG1 (talk) 21:58, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Origamite,
thank you for your comment on the 20th. There will be a difficulty in that the BMRG is in fact a small unfunded organization that has (somehow) disproportionately affected planning policy in Northern Ireland. The feeling of powerless is real and persists today. It prompted the group's foundation. The policy modifications that derive from the BMRG's work have come after long struggles. That is the fact of the matter.
Greenfield-led housing provision is supplying a society's housing needs by building primarily on greenfield sites. Brownfield-led is when the emphasis is on meeting housing need by building within existing towns and cities. These are policy emphases determined by government. The BMRG's impact on local communities (your substitution) has been indirect, it's direct impact has been on policy. It has only had an impact on communities when policy has been translated into building patterns (i.e strengthening urban communities when new houses are built and new people arrive there, and stabilizing urban peripheries by preventing needless building on the city's edge and in the countryside). Their work has (through the brownfield building target mentioned in the article) meant that more housing has been built within cities rather than on green fields (which gives us the term greenfield building, a greenfield-led approach, etc),

A post of mine you flagged
You recently flagged something I posted. I am new to editing so could you please help me fix what is wrong with my post? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean.Begley (talk • contribs) 17:39, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Sean.Begley: I did not accept your edit because it did not cite the information on Abdelnour's degree. In addition, the part about the 20 years of experience seemed misleading. Finally, your edit summary was misleading; no sources were provided. Hope this helps. Origamiteⓣⓒ 17:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Ok, so I need a degree citation. What part of the 20 years seems misleading? Please specify so I can fix it. Regarding the summary, I added source #5, did I not do it correctly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sean.Begley (talk • contribs) 17:59, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- @Sean.Begley: I believe citation 5 existed beforehand. It didn't appear misleading, it appeared mildly promotional and unsourced. Origamiteⓣⓒ 18:04, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Please don't discuss article talk page material in my user talk page
You have tried to discuss mergers of articles in my user talk page. the user talk page isn't where we want to discuss articles. if you want you can post in any of the article talk page with the article you want to talk about. My user page isn't for article conversation. Thank you in advance and have a nice day. Bryce Carmony (talk) 02:38, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
If I offended you I appologize
Judging by your repeated attempts to get me banned, I am guessing that somehow I have offended you. If that is the case, please allow me to apologize, it is not my intention to offend you. When I read WP:NPOV and it says that it is non negotiable I make a merger proposals. I want to involve more than just 1 articles worth of editors so I make a few merger proposals. I don't know what about that is "Pointy" but I am sorry, if you chose to continue to attempt to get me banned from Wikipedia I understand, but let it be known my objective isn't to offend you it's a sincere attempt to address a discrepancy between what our policy says, and what we are doing. Bryce Carmony (talk) 12:33, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Bryce Carmony: Let me clarify my position. I am annoyed by the fact that some of your mergers are proposed without stopping to consider the article in question. That is what feels somewhat pointy, and NPOV is not having an article with more criticism than quite literally every other section of the article combined. I am frustrated by your assumption that a mildly hostile environment will deter women more than men. I am not trying to get you banned; I am trying to get you to reconsider your actions of blanking your talk page after criticism and calling it "spam and harassment". I respect what you are doing, and what you have already done with some articles and mergers, but I feel that you are not considering the articles in the name of NPOV. Origamiteⓣⓒ 14:28, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- I admit that my first few mergers didn't realize how controversial this would be. That's why my merger proposals became more detailed. look at an early proposal like talk:Communism vs a later proposal such as talk:Yahoo! I am trying to make the process better. I always consider the article. ( that is why I'm not trying to merge Art criticism with Art. My assumption is based in observation and feedback from non-wikipedians, I observe that Wikipedia is hostile ( there are articles that convey this point, and even articles that cite this for why women don't edit ) added to that the fact that my friends have given this as a reason, It is a view that I hold, not becuase I think women are "delicate" or something like that. But because the information I have access to points me in that direction. When you go to an admin and say "This person is "pointy" that to me feels like you are trying to get me banned, you're more then welcome to engage in the discussion, but I feel like you try and cricumvent the dicussion. can we please try and find common ground. For example, do you see a difference in Film criticism and Criticism of reality television ? Bryce Carmony (talk) 18:46, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Need advice on resubmission
Hello, Thank you for your comments on my page. In resubmitting, I would greatly appreciate if you could look over the new draft and let me know if I have corrected your concerns. The page is Draft: Jan Karlin.
A "User talk" page mention.
While not mentioned explicitly, you are mentioned implicitly, and very much on purpose, in my comments to another editor I believe you may have met on some of these non-article pages. Since that is the case, I feel you have the right to know what I wrote. The reference, in case my comment is a TL;DR, is to "first remark", 2nd to last paragraph. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 06:08, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Aladdin Sane: Thank you for notifying me of your comment. I, personally, find it very hard to drop the stick after the horse is dead. That's why, after the first comment and one other suggesting that Luke and Andy back off and let uninvolved editors in, I have worked as hard as possible not to voice an opinion. At the moment, I am against any sanction; I only started the AN/I to get other opinions and to help Bryce realize what the problem was with the mass mergers and civility, and now I believe he has. Origamiteⓣⓒ 14:02, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with your general strategy. Not all parts of the horse are dead (need we go on with this metaphor, it gets quite gory). I disagree with some of your specifics. The ban/block proposal for six months is still being mulled at User:Bryce Carmony and civility, as of the moment, prior to the archiving of it. As I've opined recently, I should write a well researched essay WP:Criticism of ANI. I find this title ironic, based on our recent editor's problems. While I would not dissuade your input there, I've instituted a 36 hour self block on myself, because of the responses to date. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 14:35, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- O/T If I may advise: Go anywhere but AN/I to get other opinions. Enlisting a 3rd editor is great, done it myself. WP:DR I've no negative opinions of. But unleash ANI: There you go, just read it. Read the archives; it's a fucking Star Chamber. Was that what you meant when you submitted it? I don't parse that. You meant to give him a wet noodle. Now he's up to being blocked from all edits for up to 34,560 hours; six months? Is this what you proposed? Stay thee clear from ANI, there are alternatives. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 15:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Question
Hi, thanks for your response. I purposefully deleted the early life section as I could not reference where Ms. Karlin grew up and attended college. Should that be added back in light of your latest comment, and how should it be handled that these items cannot be referenced? I certainly see similar sections on many other pages. Please advise how to have an intro without references. Many thanks! Katya1812 (talk) 21:28, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Followup
Hi, I appreciate your response very much. I have added back some of the intro, but of course these are things that I have no way of citing with references. However, I have added citations to the highlights section since my last submission. Could you kindly look it over and let me know if you think this has a better chance of being accepted for submission? Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Katya1812 (talk) 17:39, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
Need more feedback
Hi, I hope you feel better soon. When you are feeling better, some specifics from you would be very helpful. I don't know how college degrees and employment are promotional, so please let me know exactly what is the problem as I'm not clear on this. Many thanks! Katya1812 (talk) 20:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Re: I'm also getting tired
Personally, I have been trying to reason with him for 8 months, starting on Wikia, from which he was eventually permanently banned by staff for consistent offensive and unreasonable trolling, including uploading several long homophobic slur insults on several other people's user pages, widespread systematic lying about founding the "Outskirts Battledome" internet community, which he had nothing to do with, massive edit-warring with entire wikia communities, and writing a guide in how to efficiently troll people. I have heard that he has also been banned from several other communities. Given his history of unreasonably consistently attacking me with slurs and lies, I don't think that it is possible to reason with him. For example, he stubbornly refuses to understand how spatial dimensions work, and that this is not the same thing as when "dimension" is used for "pocket universe". Quite frankly, I have no idea how to deal with Sean. David A (talk) 03:56, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
Well, Wiki staff deleted his various wikis due to them either plagiarising the copyrighted name of another community, containing said long homophobic slurs, or the guide to trolling, but you can check with the staff member "SemanticDrifter", if you wish for confirmation. He also wrote a new guide here, and another about how to get emotional reactions out of people here. In addition, after he returned after his global ban to troll the "VsBattles" wiki, where I am an admin, over hundreds of IP posts, I deleted most of them, and I requested to Urban Dictionary that they should remove his homophobic slurs about me there. However, here is a somewhat clumsy description with links that I did earlier on wikipedia. Also, here is a lying insulting attack thread that he made about me together with an apparent sockpuppet (or at least the member only had 57 posts in total, and hasn't posted anything since) after I thought that we had came to an agreement on this site to leave each other alone/not mention each other at all outside of Wikipedia, which I had upheld. Here are links to various communities from which he has been banned. And here is a thread that he made in which he is shown as completely flippant and unrepentant about it. Blaming the consequences of his behaviour on everybody else. David A (talk) 06:35, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Draft Declined
I realize that there is another Pearl Harbor page but I am creating this page for a school project so if you could refrain from declining my post it would be greatly appreciated.
Jherod28 (talk) 19:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Yes it has to be made on Wikipedia. We are to make a page over a topic that relates to our class theme "War and Society." It is supposed to be roughly 500-700 words in length and we are to keep up with it everyday and respond to other editors to improve the page.
Jherod28 (talk) 15:14, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, the assembly hall is the same as the Town Hall. I have been trying to get this page up for a while now, following the format of other venues such as Oslo, Hackney and have not had any luck. What are they doing that I am not?
KatKing15 (talk) 14:45, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- @KatKing15: The basic thing about a Wikipedia article is that it needs to be supported with reliable, third-party sources which demonstrate notability. Has the Islington Town Hall been reviewed by a reliable newspaper? Right now, there isn't enough content, period, but you can't add advertising language to fill in the rest; it must be sourced. I don't really like the language and sourcelessness of Oslo (Hackney) either, which is why I just edited it a bit. Origamiteⓣⓒ 15:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
