Kim Hyun-joong edit
Hello! This is regarding the page 'Kim Hyun-joong.'
I have noticed that the artist's page about the recent assault allegations have not been updated. Since the plaintiff has already dropped the charges, the prosecutors have already reported that due to lack of evidences; the case was brought to a close, none of these important facts about the case have been updated on his Wikipedia page. Considering how it is important to get these updated on time as it's a celebrated artist's page, it seemed very odd to me that there was a failure to edit it. You were the last person to edit the page so I wondered that it would be best to ask you about it.
Also, I was told that this page was edited previously and you decided to take it down? Was there a reason behind it? That way if I get to know that someone takes the responsibility to edit the page, I could warn them of committing such mishaps.
Thank you and have a good day!Nikrosis (talk) 12:15, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Merge?
Hi. can you please me with merging this article and this article, both of which describe the same school in Girgaon. Created by the same user too. Somehow, the talk page of on redirects to the other. Looks like a botched merge.... Im not too well versed in the merging methodology in this case so i put in a request for help with merging at the Proposed mergers page, but no response till now. Thankyou. Trinidade (talk) 14:21, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Trinidade:, I myself am not too good with merging or moving. I know that User:DrKiernan once moved/merged a page. Pingning him. Hopefully, he'll be able to explain the process to us. Sorry I couldn't help you too much. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 14:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello from Las Vegas, NV!
I am new to Wikipedia and actually joined to see what I could do about the vandalism made on the Islam page today. I am not Muslim but I was appalled to see such bigotry. Thank you for your awesome work with Wikipedia! I hope you have a wonderful day! Your attention and dedication to this widely used, international resource is greatly appreciated.
Take care, Rsrikanth05!

Oh Srikanth
Oh Srikanth , what have you done my fellow wikipedian. You have asked someone who thinks these two images are the same for analysis of Turbhe images - Mumbai central image to Surat railway station's article [1]. Why not Challengethelimits, Rasnaboy or anyone else except that fellow??

Bob Beckel
It is not constructive to say that Bob Beckel is an Obama supporter? This leads to a belief that you are in fact a supporter of one and not both of them. If you supported both of them, you would not have a problem with the truth. I will keep editing that page until you stop removing it, you liberal hack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 05:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not a supporter of anything wrt American politics. I'm not even an American for that matter. I reverted your edit because it violated WP:BLP and if you keep doing the same thing, I will revert you and warn you again. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:02, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
My addition is in line with this mandate. What I have added is factual, and not opinion. Bob Beckel is a very well known for this fact. If my addition is removed again, I will add it again, every time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 06:11, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup -Round 1 Newsletter
As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2:
What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

GA Cup Newsletter Correction
Hi everyone,
It was brought to the attention of the judges that there was an error in the newsletter sent out earlier today.
Sign-ups for the GA Cup will close on October 15, 2014, not September 15, 2014 (as mentioned in the newsletter).
Sorry for any confusion.

Paul Zenon
Hello, I realize you are trying to help, but since Mr. Zenon's reputation is at stake and he has asked nicely that we change the phrasing about Houdini back to what it was called during Houdini's time, he would greatly appreciate it. Mr. Zenon is an expert on this topic and I think we should adhere to his wishes despite what you may think. Thank you Onlydemi (talk) 15:55, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Onlydemi: Where did 'Mr. Zenon' say this? What makes him an expert? Has he read the page on Experts and Wikipedia? All editors, including experts are subject to the same level of scrutiny. Are you editing on behalf of Paul Zenon? If that is a case, it is either a possible Conflict of Interest or paid editing which needs to be disclosed. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 02:54, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello and thanks for your response. This was only a request made by Mr Zenon. I am not a paid editor, I am a volunteer as I assume we all are. As it happens in this case, I agree with Mr. Zenon, which is why I accepted his suggestion... I do not know the WP rules regarding modernization of terms when referencing past figures (please enlighten me!), but it seems to me that at the time of Houdini, "escape artiste" would be the more accurate terminology. Kind Regards, Onlydemi (talk) 20:31, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Onlydemi:If that is the case, please bring it up at the pages talk page. Where did he 'request you'? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:00, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
GA Cup - Round 1 Newsletter #2
Hello GA Cup competitors! The judges have learned a great deal in this first part of the competition, and we appreciate your patience with us as we've figured out what works and what doesn't work. As we reported in our last newsletter, an inadequacy in the scoring system has been illuminated in the past 15 days, which has resulted in a major change in the rules. It has also resulted in one withdrawal. To ensure fairness, we've decided to further increase the number of participants moving onto Round 2. Everyone who has reviewed at least one article will automatically be moved forward, and will be placed in pools. You have until October 29 to take advantage of this opportunity. It is our hope that this will make up for the unforeseen glitch in our scoring system. Best of wishes to all of you as you continue to help improve articles and make Wikipedia a better place.

Why did you change my allergy entry?
Hey, just a quick question. Why did you change back my edit on wool allergies?
When people are allergic to wool they are actually allergic to the lanolin on the wool. So calling it a wool allergy is actually a misnomer. Please get back to me soon.
YmeYnot45 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ymeynot45 (talk • contribs) 04:04, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hi @Ymeynot45:, I undid your entry because it was unsourced. Please provide a reliable source, preferably from a medical journal. You may want to read WP:RS for more details on sources. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 04:13, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
Why did I receive special treatment? That same page has: "salicylates (also found naturally in numerous fruits)", eggs "(typically albumen, the white)", and "Fel d 1 (Allergy to cats)". The last of which has no source and when you go to Wikipedia page for "Allergy to cats", it lists "The most common of these allergens are the glycoprotein Fel d 1, secreted by the cat's sebaceous glands and Fel d 4, which is expressed in saliva.". If you follow the links for Fel d 1 & 4 you find that they incorrectly swapped. (I leave that to you for correction.)
In reality there is no such thing as a "wool" allergy. Just like there is no such thing as a Cat allergy. The allergy to cats is an allergy to either Fel d 1, 2, 3, or 4. The allergy to wool is an allergy to the lanolin that is naturally on wool, that is why synthetic (untreated) wool creates no allergic reaction.
I'm unsure as to why certain facts are taken as obvious and lack the need for citation while others are challenged. Wool naturally has lanolin. People can be allergic to lanolin. People aren't allergic to the wool fiber. Thus when people refer to a wool allergy they are talking about lanolin. Cats naturally have Fel d 1-4. People can be allergic to Fel d 1-4. People aren't allergic to the cat itself (meat, bone, water, hair). Thus when people refer to a cat allergy they are talking about Fel d 1-4.
I have a degree in Philosophy & Logic before going to contract law & programming and I can't see the logical distinction between the two above statements. You accepted the second while rejecting the first. On the allergy page do I just need to relist it like with the cat to "Lanolin (Allergy to wool)"?
--Ymeynot45 — Preceding undated comment added 17:12, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Ymeynot45: There is NO special treatment as you allege here. All entries by default need to be sourced. When your edit was made, it popped up on Stiki, which allows me to monitor certain types of edits. Hence, I reverted yours and none of the others. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 17:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Bob Beckel
It is not constructive to say that Bob Beckel is an Obama supporter? This leads to a belief that you are in fact a supporter of one and not both of them. If you supported both of them, you would not have a problem with the truth. I will keep editing that page until you stop removing it, you liberal hack. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 05:59, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not a supporter of anything wrt American politics. I'm not even an American for that matter. I reverted your edit because it violated WP:BLP and if you keep doing the same thing, I will revert you and warn you again. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:02, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
My addition is in line with this mandate. What I have added is factual, and not opinion. Bob Beckel is a very well known for this fact. If my addition is removed again, I will add it again, every time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 06:11, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Add a source, and it might stay, else, poof, it's gone. Calling someone an idiot is NOT in line with WP:BLP. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:13, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, and look! You got reverted again. P.S: Learn to sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~ --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:14, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Oops, you have been reverted again. What a shame.. P.S. I didn't call anybody an idiot... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 06:21, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- Nobody reverted me. Addition of junk isn't the same as reversion. You did call him an idiot. In your first idiot. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:23, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
I believe you just called me an idiot after saying "Calling someone an idiot is NOT in line with [Wikipedia regulations.] Sir, do you listen to the voices in your head? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.90.36.206 (talk) 06:31, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm referring to your first edit to the article where you added Idiot to the Caption parameter. You are the one with the disruptive edits. Not me. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:33, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup -Round 1 Newsletter
As we move into the middle of Round 1, we wanted to report some of the lessons we've learned thus far, as well as announce a major rule change going into Round 2, which begins November 1. Remember, sign-ups for this year's Cup ends on September 15. Thus far, we're very happy with the results of the competition. One of our major goals, reducing the long backlog at GAN, is well on the way to being accomplished, mostly due to the enthusiastic efforts of Jonas Vinther, who has earned over 250 points. Over 80 reviews have been made thus far. Thank you all for your efforts and for your part in making the GA Cup a success. However, this is the inaugural year of the GA Cup, so there have been some unforeseen circumstances that have come up. One has been a glaring inadequacy with the rules, which the judges feel makes the competition unfair. As a result, there will be a major change in the rules, starting at the beginning of Round 2:
What this means is that you must provide some feedback to the article's nominator, and must wait for him or her to respond before passing the article. If the nominator has not responded in the standard 7 days, you can fail the article. We're instituting this rule change to prevent the possibility of competitors passing articles for the sake of passing articles (or failing them) and to gain more points. We believe that the change will make it more fair to all competitors in the GA Cup. Also, in case you haven't noticed, we increased the "guarantee" for Round 2 to 25 participants. The exact number will be decided in the near future. We thank your for your participation, and for your flexibility and understanding as we learn what works and what doesn't work in this competition. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

GA Cup Newsletter Correction
Hi everyone,
It was brought to the attention of the judges that there was an error in the newsletter sent out earlier today.
Sign-ups for the GA Cup will close on October 15, 2014, not September 15, 2014 (as mentioned in the newsletter).
Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.

GA Cup - Round 2
Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. Jaguar took out Round 1 with an amazing score of 238. In a tight race for second, Peacemaker67 and Ritchie333 finished second and third with 152 and 141 points, respectively. Two users have scored the maximum five bonus points for article length (60,000 characters+). Anotherclown reviewed Spanish conquest of Yucatán (77,350 characters) and MrWooHoo reviewed Communist Party of China (76,740 characters). The longest review was by Bilorv who reviewed Caldas da Rainha. The review was approximately 22,400 characters which earned s/he two bonus points (20, 000 - 29, 999 characters). In Round 1, 117 reviews were completed, making the first round of the GA Cup a success! A total of 86 articles were removed from the backlog during the month of October! We hope to see all remaining users fighting it out in Round 2 so we can lower the backlog as much as possible. To qualify for the second round, one completed review was needed, which 28 users accomplished. Participants have been randomly put into 7 pools of 4; the top 2 in each pool will move onto Round 3. There will also be one wildcard. This means that the participant who comes in 15th place (all pools combined) will also move on. Round 2 will start on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC and end on November 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here Also, remember that a major rule change will go into affect starting on November 1, which marks the beginning of Round Two. Round 1 displayed a weakness in the rules, which we are correcting with this new rule. We believe that this change will make the competition more inherently fair. The new rule is: Your review must provide feedback/suggestions for improvement, and then you must wait until the nominator has responded and all issues/suggestions have been resolved before you can pass the article. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification. The judges will strictly enforce this new rule. Good luck and remember to have fun! Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list.
