Do you have a reason for adding a redlink to MB to Gaza flotilla raid‎? WP:REDNOT says not to do that for personal names... Please self-revert unless you will be creating the article shortly or whatever. --Mirokado (talk) 00:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

And your answer is ... Malcolm Brabant. Waiting a few minutes before putting an unhelpful and confrontational message on a user talkapge might help next time. Look after yourself! Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 00:37, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I actually thought I was being quite nice, compared to reverting straight away for example. I do agree about giving people time to sort out new articles and have often been annoyed by drive-by tagging of a newly-created article or, even worse, somebody edit-conflicting me by starting to create talk pages half a minute after I had prepared and created ten articles with associated talk pages in browser tabs and started saving the articles! I mostly create the article first and then any new links which avoids the redlink problem. I truly didn't want to seem "confrontational" and wish you a happy new year. --Mirokado (talk) 00:49, 2 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hiya Trident, Your revert poped up on my watchlist. I don't think this should be considered 'vandalism'. Looks to me like the IP is trying to improve the article, but either doesn't understand process or is trying to be Bold. I have no preference here, but please don't bite the newbies – better to engage if possible. Good work on the article, by the way. Cheers for now, Daicaregos (talk) 23:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

The Order of Canada is classed as a British Commonwealth honour.

edit

The Order of Canada is classed as a British Commonwealth honour, as Canada is one of the Commonwealth Realms or Dominions, even though it is only the Canadian honours system that is currently conferred on Canadians. The category 'People stripped of a British Commonwealth honour' also applies to those labelled 'People removed from the Order of Canada' as well. This also applies to those who have been stripped of honours by other Dominions' governments, such as Allen Stanford, who was awarded an indigenous knighthood by the government of Antigua and Barbuda, only to be stripped of it after being convicted of fraud. (203.211.70.87 (talk) 19:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC))Reply

Thanks for your message, I hope that this finds you well! My edit changes simply removed the overcatgorisation of the article. It didn't need to appear in both 'People removed from the Order of Canada' and 'People stripped of a British Commonwealth honour', just the former - hence the removal. It still effectively appears in the higher category, but as part of the appropriate sub cat. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 21:07, 1 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Carnforth MPD

edit

Would it be better if the article were entitled Carnforth motive power depot to meet WP:NAME? Most steam rail enthusiasts are going to recognise MPD but the general reader isn't. NtheP (talk) 11:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I hope that this finds you well - thanks for your message! A good point, but if we followed that to the letter we end up with more article titles like Polmadie Traction and Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot. Not sure even then a non-railway person would fully understand that either, and its personally way too long. The whole approach to naming railway depot articles needs to be addressed, and you can see the confusion/variance in the articles in Category:Railway depots in the United Kingdom. Worth discussing on the project talk page? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 17:29, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Princess page

edit

I am trying to add more information onto the Princess Yachts page, however prehaps need to seek some clarification as to why the recent amends were rejected.

I appreciate that the earlier amends were prehaps a little more 'brochure' than is appropriate for Wikipedia however on the recent amends the copy was stripped back and all external links were removed from the range listing. I cannot see why we are not permitted to enter a list of the product range when it is acceptable for other pages to do so (please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunseeker).

In addition, the historical information was stripped back to be a simple factual list of key dates of events and products of significance in the brands history as at present the page is very thin. Others on wikipedia have done so (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_Motors_Limited) so again, I think I need clarification as to what within the history is deemed 'advertising' so rather than delete the whole thing the unacceptable items can be revised instead?

Clarification on this matter would be appreciated. 77.100.103.14 (talk) 17:22, 22 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of CanadaUpdates

edit
 

The article CanadaUpdates has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article on a commercial enterprise, all the references seem to be press releases, links to the company websites or standard immigration texts and textbooks (which seem unlikely to discuss this company in great detail).

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

I have removed revisions from two pages where you linked another editor to personally identifying information. I am not 100% sure this is falls under the outing policy, but if you could refrain from reposting the material till I can get back to you (the basic info that the person has a COI is ok) till I get back to you tomorrow, while I confer with functionaries that would be great.

Thanks for you message, I hope that this note finds you well! Normally, I would agree that we shouldn't "out" editors. But when they are employees of the marketing department of a company - as these two were - then exceptions should be made. By editting their own articles, they would appear to be corporately willing at a wider level to brake our own rules. One of these people has since changed her editorship to a newly registerd identity, and continues to this day to edit the article. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:30, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
Trident13, just so you know, I brought up a hypothetical situation that's similar to this one for discussion with Arbcom shortly before the situation above was brought up on IRC. I hope to hear back from Arbcom within a few days. It may be that the community should have a public discussion on what the policy should be in this kind of situation. I'm waiting to hear what Arbcom thinks. I agree with you that Wikipedia has an interest in maintaining NPOV and preventing COI editing, and we will need to figure out how that should balance with the outing policy.

Thanks for your message Pine, I hope that this finds you well! I agree that as opposed to solely naval gazing our own "outting" rules, there is a wider opportunity here. The big corporates are all depserate to mange their brand identity, and clearly entries here are part of thier brand management process. One of the articles referred to by DeltaQuad was not only editted by an employee, but created by them as well. Perhaps part of that wider discussion should be to offer to actively liaise with the big corporates, educate them on our rules, and offer them a specific interface which can assist in issues associated with their articles. My suspicion is that most would be willing to pay for such a service - possibly even via sponsorship - hence gaining revenue for Wiki Foundation.

The diff you provided is to an article that itself says that Mitt Romney is related to portaitist George Romney. The edit (including the edit summary, "His grandfather was a different George Romney, perhaps a cousin") took out the wording that indicated that Miles Romney was the grandson of George Romney the painter. Indeed, George Romney, the grandfather of Miles, was the uncle of the George Romney who was the painter (see BBC link, appended), which says, "The Romney name still resonates in [...Dalton-in-Furness], thanks to George Romney, a first cousin of Miles' grandfather, who was one of Britain's leading portrait painters in the 18th Century, a rival to Joshua Reynolds."--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 22:15, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Miles Romney

edit

Yes that-editor-whose-diff-you-pinged-me-with's edit summary is correct, "Removed the bit about Miles being the grandson of English painter George Romney. He wasn't. His grandfather was a different George Romney, perhaps a cousin." The relationship is indeed one of cousinage. Per the BBC:

The Romney name still resonates in the town [Dalton-in-Furness], thanks to George Romney, a first cousin of Miles' grandfather, who was one of Britain's leading portrait painters in the 18th Century, a rival to Joshua Reynolds.

A primary school is named after him, and two streets also bear the Romney name - Romney Park and Romney Avenue. His prestige would have rubbed off on the whole family, Walton says.

"Anyone living in the town with the name Romney would have been respected."

Today, the electoral roll lists only 102 Romney households in the whole of the UK, and only a handful in the north of England.

I'll add this info to the article's talkpage. Thanks!--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 23:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yngvadottir (talk) 08:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

The English Argentine article risks becoming a “British Argentine” article since some aspects are also relevant to Scottish Argentines, Welsh Argentines and (Northern) Irish Argentines. The fine line by distinguishing between “English” and “British” is often diluted and is erroneously and interchangeably used around the world, and alas is done in this article as well. The sections about World War 2 and the Falklands War were also relevant to the other nationalities originating from the United Kingdom, and not just English Argentines. I suggest creating a “British Argentine” article with subjects that are relevant to all these nationalities of the United Kingdom who have immigrated to Argentina.

Your recent edit at Gary, Indiana

edit

Hi! I am not understanding what was spam with your recent removal of two external links at Gary, Indiana. Neither were links to advertising. The one link that was titled "Dave's Den" was a very informative and entertaining blog about the history of the area. I wouldn't use it as a reference, but I fail to see what it hurts as a link and hence reinstated it, with a less "spammy" sounding title (A history of Gary). The other was a link to the webpage of a local festival, which is technically advertising, but again, what harm is a link to local public event? Nearby Valparaiso, Indiana has a link to their local Popcorn Festival. I am sure there are thousands of other examples. I did not put that back, because it is currently occupied only by a piece of artwork as a placeholder. No hurry, but when you have some time, I'd appreciate hearing your reasoning behind your edit. It will help me become a better Wikipedian. Thanks for your time. Gtwfan52 (talk) 20:29, 15 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Chepstow Racecourse

edit

Dear Trident13, As a new contributor to Wikipedia I have been adding some information to racecourse pages. On the Chepstow page I removed a sentence about nematodes causing the cancellation of some race meetings, on the basis that it was a minor incident in the history of the racecourse. I now realise that you originally inserted it, and reinstated it after I had removed it. I would still like to delete it, holding to my view that it is not significant in the context of the course's history and it does not gel with the rest of the article. However, I would prefer to have you concur if at all possible, hence me entering into this dialogue in the hope that we can work this out. Regards,Ravel59 (talk) 22:55, 20 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Good Evening Trident13

While looking through the Royal Marines category i noticed your sandbox about Norton Manor Camp. At the moment i'am trying to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Royal Marines installations and would like to know what the status of the article is as it has been sitting still for a bit and it should be shown in article space

Also when category links are used within sandboxes you need to add an ":" before the word "category" like this [[:Category:Royal Marines]] otherwise your sandbox appeares in the category which is should not.

Hi, I hope that this message finds you well! As you also probably noticed I have a number of stub articles, its just my way of collecting information on a series of "missing" subjects, and then creating something that is better than the normal of just about good enough! These days, I also like creating articles with a picture, as its amazing what is in WikiCommons and not used. With regards Norton Manor Camp, I was originally coming at it from the railway/shadow factory angle - it was a huge USArmy WW2 distribution depot. As it was covered in secrecy, there is little detail about that early stage, until the 1950s and then later as a Royal Marines camp. I was researching that early stage through reading various library books, but I am happy to put it into production in the next few days if you want. Re cats: a divided debate within the community on that one! I used to leave them out, then got told off by one editor who advised that situations like the one that occured here of "duplicate builds/shared knowledge" could be avoided/created if you put the cats in. After 6+years and 90K+ edits I know the procedure well as to how to leave them out, but have found personally that leaving them in works better for me/the community - and creates nice conversational situations like this!

Death of Carole Waugh

edit

Hi Trident13. Thanks for your support and kind words on the article, and for your excellent work in expanding it. Hopefully in time we should be able to get this up to at least GA quality.

You've done a great job, thanks again. Have now added an image, and may look at Commons for one or two others. Must agree with you on the number of arrests. It's fairly unusual. Paul MacDermott (talk) 15:33, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
One worth saving. The more I researched and put those edits in, the more it made me question further N-HH's logic in both AFD's. While any death is highly regrettable: accepting the original Carole Waugh article didn't mention the 13 arrests, but that number and a gang approach is highly unusual; the Death of Tia Sharp has turned into an unfortunate family incident. Both have survived for now, but interestingly the Met Police have a higher ranking and far larger team on the Waugh case, which should mean as the legal case progresses more interesting facts appearing. Also, while I did mention the Libya connection, I didn't expand on her personal life - its hers, and second it may have nothing to do with the murder. I suspect some may however place greater emphasis on it - one to be watched. Have a great weekend - Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 15:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

David Barton (author): Use of "fact" tags

edit

You recently used a bunch of "fact" tags on David Barton (author). While I appreciate your concern about keeping Wikipedia accurate, checking a number of the places where you put "fact" tags I found the relevant fact in the next listed reference following where you placed the tag. Additionally, you put "fact" tags in the lead; per WP:WHYCITE, "Citations are also often discouraged in the lead section of an article, insofar as it summarizes information for which sources are given later in the article". Something like the claim that Barton is a best-selling author needn't be cited in the lead as it is cited in a later section. I have undone your edits en mass as time is tight on my end; you may wish to review your concerns, check the references, and restore any individual fact tags for material that is still not found in the listed sources. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:16, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Question about BUD/S training in article

edit

I have a question about your Chris Kyle page -- (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Kyle) -- The article states that: "However, as he was leaving, the U.S. Navy recruiter called him over and talked about the Navy SEALs. Kyle was interested and signed up, but he did not pass the physical test, because of the pins in his arm. A little while later he received a call and he had the chance to go to BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL school), finally joining the United States Navy in 1999."

How did he just get a call to attend BUD/S without ever having joined the Navy or even have passed the physical for entrance in to the Navy? I know there are pre BUD/S style training programs that young guys can take to see if they have what it takes to be a Navy SEAL but this part of your article doesn't make sense to me and I served in the USMC.

Is there any way that you could provide clarification on this section?

In 1942, whilst transiting White Waltham Airfield testing Hawker Henley before ferrying it to Finland,[3] Dunlop became a cover girl when pictured pushing her hair out of her face after she left the cockpit.

Now that is really absurd, Where you invent this Finland connection ? In 1942 Finland was one of the axis nations, so why would she ferry a plane to a enemy country. Besides female ferry pilots didn't fly overseas at all. And Finland have never had any Henleys. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.209.168.1 (talk) 12:26, 12 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ammeded edits

edit

Trident,

Can I ask why you keep undoing my edits to the page Caroline_Nokes?

The information which is carried according to your edits is inaccurate:

1. much of what you are carrying is based on media reports which Ms. Nokes disputes. See her personal statement of today here: [1]

2: She never 'signed a pledge' - this was inaccurately reported, but rather she agreed that Christians should be allowed to practice their religion and not be forced to compromise it. This was reiterated when she also stated she supported the right for gay marriage. She is quoted in newspaper which is linked to her Wikipedia page saying "“My own point of view is very much that there should be equal marriage rights but I don’t think any religious faith organisations should be obliged to hold marriages if they do not want to or if it is against their beliefs.” She has never stated she shares the religious views, merely that she respects the right of others to do so. [2]

Here she refused to confirm the 'allegations' Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).. Also, after allegations were made, Nokes claims there was successful legal action (see point 1 and the link).


4. As she is now divorced, she has no spouse.

If the purpose of Wikipedia is to allow people to accurately reflect fact, why are these facts not also covered on this page?

North Wales child abuse scandal

edit

I've reverted your edits because this source - http://www.bushywood.com/alison_taylor_whistleblower.htm - appears to be a self-published blog, which is essentially unreliable. In an article of such contentiousness and importance, we must use reliable sources, not blogs. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:40, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have reverted your edit as the same allegations are in http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/9657836/Waterhouse-Inquiry-recommendations-and-conclusions.html Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 19:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've replied on my talk page, but I think I should copy this exchange to the article talk page - others may have a view. Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:46, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! This whole case and our article is frankly scary - the more you dig into it, the more that you realise that the evidence is quite public and well reported - see http://www.independent.co.uk/news/at-last-alison-taylor-tells-how-she-exposed-years-of-child-abuse-1234884.html which I have added to the Taylor section. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 19:59, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.. I've taken this step really as a precaution - I'm mainly concerned that no-one gets into any legal difficulties over this. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:37, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Do the words "Over Escalation" ever come into your head? Why do you think I raised in on the articles talk page? Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 20:40, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
You seem to be editing in a good deal of haste - major edits, with lots of typos and so forth - and don't seem to be especially willing to take other people's concerns into account. Given the legal threats that are around at the moment, I thought it would be helpful to have some extra eyes on the article. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Could have asked me first, before acting? Its not that I have been here for 5mins. You now seem to be post-haste justifying your actions - have you read WP:AGF recently? Persoally, disapointing. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 21:21, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I think you need to revisit your edits of a couple of days ago. Much of the material you added cites this Telegraph article summarising the Waterhouse findings - but, much of the detail that you included in your edits - lists of hostels, unpublished reports, the details of Alison Taylor's claims, etc. - seems not to be contained in that summary report at all. I'm sure you agree that such an important article needs to be properly sourced. Unfortunately I won't be in a position to rewrite it from scratch for a few days, so I hope you'll look at it in the meantime. Thanks. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:34, 21 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Boticca

edit

Hi - I've been going through the jewelry areas of WP to try and make it more respectable overall - ie flushing designers not remotely notable, adding people like Stephen Webster and cutting back some of the blatant advertorials and celeb name dropping. Boticca seems possibly notable, (although it is a retailer, not a brand) but it looked like their marketing department made the article. So I pruned it to a more respectable level while still conveying the we carry independent designers angle. After committing, I noticed that such a reputable editor had a heavy hand in the article. Obviously I do not want to tangle with you, but nothing had been done to address what many would consider to be approaching {db-spam}. I noticed that you removed an {advert} previously, which is curious. Open to your opinion. --Modern.Jewelry.Historian (talk) 04:01, 20 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Garbo and Green

edit

Hello Trident, I have been reading your addition to the Garbo page. After the first edit, I thought great. This is a welcome addition. I'll just correct the factual errors. But I strongly think you have added far to much information about a friendship (along with the tapes) that was important but no where near as important as others with whom she had much closer friendships, including Mercedes de Acosta (who did not in any way write a tell all autobiography--a myth), with whom she had a 30 year friendship, Salka Viertel (about as many years if not more), with whom she worked and who had huge influence in her life, and George Schlee, to whom she was absolutely devoted for 20 years. Her friendship with Green was indeed important but it most certainly does not warrant an entire very long section. To devote an entire section throws the entire article out of balance and basically states by implication that her relationship with him was the most important of her life. There are so many extremely important people and events in her life that receive no such attention. You have written almost as much text as is spent on her entire career at MGM. Moreover, your changes now dominate the retirement section which is inappropriate since she spent 2/3s of her life in retirement with many friends and activities.

Here's a rough draft the amount of space I think their friendship deserves to keep the entire article balanced.

In 1971, Garbo vacationed with her close friend Cecile de Rothchild at her summer home in Southern. De Rothchild introduced her to Samuel Adams Green, a well-known art collector and curator in New York, and the two formed an immediate bond.[3] Green, who became an important friend and walking companion in New York, was in the habit of tape-recording all of his telephone calls and, with Garbo’s permission, recorded his many conversations with her. In 1985, Garbo ended the friendship when she was falsely informed that Green had played the tapes to friends.[4] In his last will and testament, Green bequeathed in 2011 all of the tapes, which reveal Garbo's sense of humor and many eccentricities, to the Wesleyan University film archives.[5]

As you can see, you also made several factual errors which I corrected, above, (See Paris and Swensen whose GG biographies have been scrupulously researched.) It was Paris, in fact, who introduced their friendship and published some of the tapes' content). I believe, as a long-term editor of this page that the section be radically cut and that this needs to be taken up on the GG talk page. Such an enormous edit needs to be discussed, I think, and I will reduce it to what I've written until this discussion is underway. Talk to you soon,--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 00:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

OK, this is really getting way, way, way out of control. Another serious problem is that most of your references come from the Garboforever site which is an absolutely unacceptable source by WP standards. I'm sorry to say but I am definitely going to revert much of what you've written. PLEASE STOP!--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 00:26, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I continue reading. I'm going to revert your edits. Most of your sources are illegimate. Have you not read the recent biographies?--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 00:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

To stay in balance with the rest of the article, the retirement section should be no longer than it is now. You've written more about the last 15 years of her life than what's written about her silent film career. Bless your heart, Trident, but the length, along with the illegitimate citations, means that I've taken radical action. We can do more than what I've written, but very little without damaging this article.--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 01:00, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Firstly, thank you for your message. Secondly, the pre-version concentrated on her film career: a period of some 20 years. Yet, there was little focus or detail on her 50 year retirement, and what was that there was was speculation on her character resulting in assued mental health, all the way up to bipoler. You say my edits are "vandalism", but much as though I didn't like the use of GarboForever - intersting perspective - having added refs from the LA Times, Telegraph and Scottish Daily Record which say the same thing, your revert looks poor and biased. Take it to the articles talk page, where I have copied this entire correspondence. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:03, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have no problem with rewriting what I've put in. But you're not speaking to my point: Pls read again:

...What was important but no where near as important as others with whom she had much closer friendships, including Mercedes de Acosta (who did not in any way write a tell all autobiography--a myth), with whom she had a 30 year friendship, Salka Viertel (about as many years if not more), with whom she worked and who had huge influence in her life, and George Schlee, to whom she was absolutely devoted for 20 years. Her friendship with Green was indeed important but it most certainly does not warrant an entire very long section.

Moreover, it's her film career that's most important to cultural history. For God's sake, Trident, who cares about all this stuff on Green and Daum? It's totally irrelevant to her legacy.--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 01:09, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

You say there's very little about the last 2/3s of her life but that's fundamentally unimportant; there's plenty of stuff about her relationships and personal life and the section on her retirement is extremely concise (unlike, respectfully, your additions) and gives an excellent picture of her life in retirement. Please try to be realistic, as I believe I am being. By all means, add this material to Green's and Daum's pages, but we can't just overwhelm this page with material that's of tertiary or less importance. If you decide to put all your writing back in, we will take the two versions to the WP editors and they can arbitrate this. Sincerely,

Finally, Our conversation on the talk p. makes no sense unless you put your rewritten section into the gg talk p. Please put it in so readers can read it and then judge.--Classicfilmbuff (talk) 01:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Trident, you've titled the G talk p. discussion, "Later life - poor focus, speculation, lack of details." Now, to begin, I respectfully disagree that it has poor focus and think that it is, instead, clear and rather well organized. But if you think it's poorly focused, why don't you refocus what's there before adding a new self-contained section? Next, the "speculation" about bipolarity is cited to one of her definitive biographers, Barry Paris. But if you think it doesn't belong there, you can just delete the two sentences. There's not a single other speculation in the section. Finally, you say "lack of details." However, you have not added details about her relationship in later life to Cecile de Rothchild, Salka Veirtel, George Schlee, along with other important friendships she had, and the many things she did and places she went. Instead, you've written an enormous, self-contained, section on just two of her friendships during her later years in New York. So I think your title of the section is misleading. In any case, I respect you for listening to me and taking seriously my perspective. Cheers,Classicfilmbuff (talk) 19:56, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
