Disambiguation link notification for November 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Songs of Praise, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page St. Patrick's Cathedral (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You still managed to make me laugh with that revert! Thanks RedPenOfDoom Jenova20 (email) 22:49, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

This is in reference to the deletions you made to the article.

There is a vast difference between the words "Dub" and "Remake". You should have known that before proceeding with the deletion.

I request you to please be careful next time while making such additions/deletions.

Thanking you. Souwrit Ray (talk) 09:48, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey just saw that you are removing links to Twit, FB and BH articles citing WP:ELNO but they are WP:ELOFFICIAL even if BH is left alone. Such mass removals should reflect recent WP:CONSENSUS otherwise its pretty disruptive, discuss. Sohambanerjee1998 13:09, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

chrisjoss.net website adress update

hello, I'm new to editing seriously on wikipedia, so forgive me if I don't do certain things correctly. I updated the official site link, I actually bought a domain name, instead of the free hosting, BECAUSE of the wikipedia rules that don't consider free hosting as a worthy reference for an official website. Although the free hosting has worked perfectly for the past 13 years, I have changed today to a paying website with the domain name chrisjoss.net. So please don't revert, I'd actually specified that it was an update about the official website adress, and yet you undid it, twice so far. Thanks for watching for spam though! ;) best, Roberto Rouflakess (talk) 18:29, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

OK I won't contribute to this page anymore, although I've been careful not to use it as a promotion tool, careful to just state facts. Which is not the case of the paragraph you've added yesterday. "In the soundtrack, he attempted to give homage to works of the 60s and 70s [6]"

This is obviously your own biaised opinion, which goes against the philosophy of wikipidia and makes me wonder about your motivations as you're refering strictly to the wikipedia's guidelines without applying them to yourself. It was an homage, not an attempt to an homage, you're quoting a book while adding some personal opinion, so please change or remove. Roberto Rouflakess (talk) 14:57, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

redpen, the source is reliable, again the problem is your biaised interpretation of it, where do you see that Joss said he attempted to give homage ? just quote the phrase or be unbiaised, instead of blaming the reliability of the source. It's not the source's fault if you can't quote a phrase exactly and feel the need to add a derogatory tone to it. Quote or be unbiaised. Roberto Rouflakess (talk) 20:36, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

I would like to say that as the early life section is about 1/3 of the overall article body length (since he is a relatively new actor), it would seem that about 1/3 of the lead should be dedicated to that section. Instead of removing it all because you are unhappy with the wording, could you please add some early life content back into the lead in a more acceptable manner?

Add the title and degree to the person I am describing on the Wiki Page of Milan Zeleny

(Zhuyuxiang (talk) 23:23, 26 November 2013 (UTC))

Hi~ TheRedPenOfDoom

I am rewriting the wiki page of Milan Zeleny I created about one month ago. Right now I want to add the title and degree to this person, the American economist of Czech origin, currently a Professor of Management Systems at Fordham University.

I leave the current page as " Ing. Milan Zeleny, M.S., Ph.D ". I think it's OK because the title and degree are both objective based on the materials I get on-hand.

What I am not quite sure is that I have researched some famous economists on Wikipedia and I find it is not so normal for us to add these academic titles before their names for these economists. Even though the fact is they are PHD or they are professor.

Anyway Ing. stands for European Engineer and it is an international professional qualification for engineers used in over 30 European countries.

Thanks for your reply.

How could I add and edit the publishing activities (publications) for the economist on my page.

(Zhuyuxiang (talk) 09:17, 27 November 2013 (UTC))

Hi~ Right now, I am rewriting the wiki page Milan Zeleny and rearrange the contents.

But I have meet one problem about how to add this economist's previous publications? This economist has a great amount of publications and these publications has been already displayed on a book written in honor of him. This book can be found through Google Scholar.

Could I just select a few of publications from different research areas and then refer this headline topic "Publishing activities" to that book (specify the pages on that book)?

Is there a copyright issue for people's publication list when we are introducing an economist or professor. I am not quite sure~ Thanks so much for your advice.

The White Queen

Hello, you reverted my edit on the The White Queen because the image has nothing to do with the show. Since the whole series is based on the historical figure of Elizabeth Woodville would it not be of some relevance to the show an image of the woman who the show is about? The image has been used on the The White Queen novels article without objection. I'll respect your judgement if you decide it still does not belong on the article but I think you should reconsider.Tomh903 (talk) 21:12, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Changes to EMC page

Regarding the energetically modified cement page. I politely asked for your assistance in resolving an issue to do with nuances of OR which have nothing to do with anything on the page as yet. Instead, you have taken this as excuse to assault the page. For example

  • I have just spent an hour writing a section -uncontroversial I might add - about the chemistry. All of the items were sourced. Within 2 minutes of my posting it, you removed it. Can you please justify why you would remove a perfectly properly discussion about the chemistry, which is well sourced? Especially when, I am trying to meet concerns that the article should explain more about why the benefits are what they are?
  • You have said in you edit "not reliable sources" - in TWO minutes. How did you make that decision IN TWO MINUTES?
  • Secondly you have removed external links as "spam". Can you justify why links which have been reviewed many times over should suddenly be removed by you? For example, if there is an external link so that the viewer can read more, why is this "spam". Can you show me the guideline that allows you to do this. For example, BMW car entries contain links to BMW and so on and so forth.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Your prolific deletion rate

In a period of a little more than three minutes from 00:15 to 00:19, you went across four different pages and deleted circa 9000 words

  • 9000 words in barely more than 3 minutes across four different articles? Including 3,500 words from the energetically modified cement page which were well sourced and (in part) mirroring information elsewhere already well established on Wikipedia.
  • On top of that, in the space of one minute (the SAME minute): you deleted a further 151 letters from the page AND THEN you placed a "re-write" tag DESPITE the admonishment about the caution in using such a tag. Incredible! There is no way in god's earth you followed the instructions there. No way at all.
  • Then, in the space of two minutes, you deleted a further 2,500 characters from the page, which have remained undisturbed since the page's formation over 6 months ago.

Can you please offer an explanation - or are you someone who is disruptive for no reason?

Regarding your comment posted on my talk page

Removing massive amounts content that is non encyclopedic and/or advertorial crap IS improvement to the encyclopedia. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:55, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree with your principal but dont think the time-record of your conduct bears out any correlation to someone making careful decisions. I do not want to argue with you but engage with you, and if you think you can assist me with the central issue I am looking for assistance on - then please help me. But I do need someone who has extensive history of writing actual scientific articles. If you think you can help then let's discuss this.

And, BTW, I would have thought you would be much better taking a look at the Geopolymer cement article, which really does need you! Let alone that I have zero COI, whereas Geopolymer cement is largely written by a professor heavily embedded in its promotion (and I think the son - or at least a relative of - Joseph_Davidovits).

As it is I am trying very hard to balance my additions with as much precision as I can. Swedish is my first language. I may occasionally fall foul of English requirements but if so it is in good faith and despite my trying my best.

Would you be open to discussing the central issue I do need guidance on? If you have requisite experience in balancing heuristics with "OR" in the context of writing a scientific article, then it would be deeply appreciated!

Fort Funston

You recently removed two external links on Fort Funston, pointing to WP:EL in your edit summary. While I am usually very much against external links, and would generally agree with removing as many possible, those two links are currently relevant. The official site at NPS is one part of the park, with the GGNP site a partnered official site. The California State Military Museum site is also very important, as it documents the military history of the fort written by an NPS historian. All three sites have unique information found only those sites. I can see no reason for their removal. Viriditas (talk) 09:04, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Chess.com again, deceptively sourced?

You remember the old Chess.com article for which you participated in an AFD about a year ago. Would you mind taking a look at this recreated one, Chess.com which was posted a few days ago? The article on Chess.com has been deleted four times previously as non-notable. While the article in its current state may seem properly referenced, upon scrutiny you can see that it is not.

The main reference that covers Chess.com is “TechCrunch.” TechCrunch is not a reliable source, however. You can see from this NY Times article [1] that the TechCrunch site had misled its readers into thinking it was a peer-reviewed reliable source when in fact it was nothing more than the personal blog of its founder, who disguised his own personal financial interests as unbiased peer-reviewed coverage. The founder and three of his associates were forced to resign from TechCrunch. Keep in mind that the Chess.com coverage in TechCrunch was from the period that TechCrunch was operating unethically and not a reliable source.

Besides the TechCrunch references, the rest of the references for the Chess.com article are obviously non-reliable sources such as blogs, the site itself, or fleeting mentions in articles concerning other things. If you take a few minutes to look into this, it is obvious that while the new article appears to meet “Reliable Sources” and “Notability” it in fact does not. I cannot nominate this article for deletion, as I am a new account, but I was wondering if you would be interested in doing so, or if you knew anyone that could take a look at this situation. Thank you. Fzldheim (talk) 21:40, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Dear Sir: Thank you for taking a look at the article. What do you think about this "TechCrunch" as a reliable source in light of the NY Times article on its lack of editorial oversight and deceptive practices? Did you see that? Fzldheim (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you very much for the sage advice. I just checked over at WP:RSN and searched for previous discussions of "TechCrunch." There are over 20 (twenty) discussions that say TechCrunch is not a reliable source. The consensus is that it is a blog. Thanks. Now what to do? Fzldheim (talk) 22:10, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

Your comments at Talk:Rupert Sheldrake

Comments such as these don't help establish consensus or a collaborative and collegial editing atmosphere. The big problem which is facing talk page discussion is that people aren't supporting their view point with reliable secondary sources. if you have reliable secondary sources which back up this statement then please provide them on the talk page, otherwise I ask you to please try and avoid statements such as this without sources to back them up. Thank you, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 09:17, 7 December 2013 (UTC)

I take it that you have not read the article with the dozens of sources there or the talk page where the dozens of sources have been previously presented ad nauseum. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:37, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
One of the problems which is facing the discussions is the lack of sources being used, then someone asking for them (as has happened in this instance). Hence the way to resolve or make discussion easier is for each side to present their evidence every time they ask for or suggest a change. Hope that make more sense of my message.

Iantresman the editor "requesting" sources is fully aware of the sources and in fact has a history of ignoring or completely misrepresenting them on the talk page

Callanecc, have you seen this comment from the Sheldrake talk page?

What I dont fucking like and will not stand for is a misrepresentation in the article that presents Sheldrakes nonsense as having any measurable level of support in the mainstream academic community. It is an extraordinary claim to suggest that mainstream academia supports his magic theories and requires extraordinary sources to be present to support such content.. And I dont fucking like is you making assumptions about what I fucking like. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 16:11, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

We do in fact have secondary sources that demonstrate limited academic support for Sheldrake's work. It seems that bringing those sources to light has pushed TRPoD over the edge.

ErikaErikabogner (talk) 23:02, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) To me the edits you complained about looked like the removal of unsourced promotional content and the addition of well-sourced critical content. That's actually a step towards a more neutral article. You will be hard-pressed to find sources as good as the New York Times to discuss, say, Scarano's "American Institute of Architects, Brooklyn Chapter Certificate of Appreciation". If you have reliable sources that provide additional information on Scarano, feel free to add it. Huon (talk) 23:42, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

Red, I can see that you are person who enjoys conflict, and so, I have told you to back off. I have kindly asked for you to allow me to make more neutral edits rather than you and EricEnfermero (as I have also asked him) to allow me to do so. More "experienced" editors should practice more professionalism; more is expected of you, and you have reflected less. When I attempted to make my edits, you were already again deleting 2,000 characters and 4 references worth of work. I have not told you what to do; you have not even provided any courtesy in allowing me to make edits for neutrality, nor to provide a learning experience for me. And so, I say again, back off, be patient, and give me a chance. Do not judge, because you have also judged incorrectly. It appears that you enjoy making a bad experience for others, and that is not what I appreciate. Perhaps a lesson in cooperation would be beneficial here.

Deletion of CDI Corp content

Hi RPoD - I just saw that you removed all the content I added to the CDI Corp entry. I noticed that the original article had been flagged with the Conflict of Interest (COI) and outdated tags, and thought I'd take a shot at helping to improve the article for the community.

I revised the business and division descriptions in a neutral way, added a history, put in the updated names of the company's current officers, and to further substantiate notability, I put in an awards section with two of the awards I found online. I used readily available info that I cited from the company's SEC filings, an article from the Philadelphia Inquirer and a link to a web site listing winners of an award, to substantiate that the company had indeed won the award. This is the most reliable source one can get, way better than a company press release. I also used press releases, only when absolutely necessary, and for the company history section I had to rely a large part on a third party investors' site which I also cited. The company has very little of its history on its own web site, so my options were limited.

The name of the current CEO was also removed, and the outdated tag was put back. Those two actions seem contradictory. Even the COI tag was put back. You can look at my edit history and see that I'm just trying to help make Wikipedia better.

I'm sure you didn't do this hastily, so I'd like to discuss why you felt the sourcing wasn't sufficient, and what publicly available info I included makes you think I have a connection with the company. Cheers! Timtempleton (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Please put them back where I had them, that's what they're about and that's where they made sense. Putting them where you have now is off topic there, and means you still reverted my original edit. Barleybannocks (talk) 00:36, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Elli Avram

May I know the reason for you reverting my change to Elli Avram's page? She has herself stated on her Twitter that her date of birth is 29th of July and not 28th. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodostillawake (talk • contribs) 01:04, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Why?

Would you please stop removing filmography tables for heaven's sake? Even after showing you this WP:Filmography? Why? Sridevi's list of films is incredibly long and that page needs a table more than anything. If you don't like it, don't come to the page. Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 17:41, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Also I'm on currently working on it, so I request you not to simply undo every edit I do. We are here to improve pages and not do the opposite. If you can't do that, at least let other do it! Veera Dheera Sooran (talk) 17:44, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes i mistyped the shortcut to the overall MOS guidelines the first time, its fixed now. But you obviously didnt even read the WP:Filmography.

I said I'm currently working on this article, and you simply undo it JUST because you don't agree with someone though I have shown, proven that it definitely IS allowed.

Hello there TheRedPenOfDoom, I am new to wikipedia and the first ever edit I made was on Sonakshi Sinha page, with the tables and you edited it back to old one, you see, the number of movies Sonakshi is being signed for, I think this table suits her with filmography and without a reason , you reverted my decisions, if you scare off new people like this, how will they be able to get bigger and help others in Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desirockerz (talk • contribs) 12:06, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Links to disambigs

Re: this revert - in the case that the disambiguation page, like Rani, contains a definition, but no useful page more appropriate to link to, is it better for terms to sit as bear disambigs rather than linking explicitly to the "...(disambiguation)" page, so users can see it links to a disambig page when they mouseover? Doing so also removes it from lists of links that need to be disambiguated, like this. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 01:04, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Please do this. Barney the barney barney (talk) 11:10, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

For the record, here's the warning per the requirements of WP:AC/DS#Warnings, per the discussion at WP:AE:

The Arbitration Committee has permitted administrators to impose discretionary sanctions (information on which is at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions) on any editor who is active on pages broadly related to pseudoscience and fringe science. Discretionary sanctions can be used against an editor who repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, satisfy any standard of behavior, or follow any normal editorial process. If you inappropriately edit pages relating to this topic, you may be placed under sanctions, which can include blocks, a revert limitation, or an article ban. The Committee's full decision can be read at the "Final decision" section of the decision page.

Please familiarise yourself with the information page at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions, with the appropriate sections of Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Procedures, and with the case decision page before making any further edits to the pages in question. This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be logged on the case decision, pursuant to the conditions of the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions system.

In particular, please refrain from using coarse or impolite language on talk pages (such as the word "fucking" used for emphasis), because this is bad manners and can have the effect of intimidating your fellow editors, and do not insult the subjects of the articles you edit, per WP:BLP.  Sandstein  12:40, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Louis Joseph Posner, reliable sources, etc.

I noted your comment about the NY Post and it's questionable reliability as a source of contentious BLP information. I don't think it's cited for anything contentious in that article - just the facts of the episode - but that aside, I'm happy to turn to another source if it would be better. I'm not really up on the comparative (de)merits of the NY papers (other than the Times, which with I'm reasonably familiar) and so I don't know whether the Daily News is equally suspect. They covered the same thing as well but their coverage did not seem any more restrained to me. So I guess there are two questions: Can the Post be cited, reliably, for factual information such as details of a plea agreement, length and terms of probation, charges in a criminal case? And if not then is the Daily News preferable?

I have no interest in this subject, and no external knowledge other than what I'm reading; I came onto it only via WP:EAR, and am trying to make sure that the article - which has been extensively edited by a near-SPA and seems a bit of a whitewash - accurately reflects both the good and the bad about the subject. Your thoughts and comments are welcome. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 19:34, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Requesting help

Hi TheRedPenOfDoom, I was just wondering if you get a chance, could you take a look at the article Athiyur? I have been trying to clean it up, but with no real luck as the changes seem to be added again. I just read the article and it now looks like a complete mess, with images and boxes randomly placed throughout among other problems clearly visible, and I don't know where to start. An editor there has already tried to get the article protected to stop me from editing his changes which included adding capital letters at the beginning of all words. Obviously another editor figured out the reason and denied the protection. There is also a matter of the editor insisting his blog is the official website and keeps re-adding it the infobox. You do great work cleaning up manual of style problems and such, so any help or advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks. Cmr08 (talk) 06:14, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

We both agree on deletion and hence i thought it better to write here rather than there. But where does WP:NOT say that "daily aired" shows should not have their episode lists, but non-dailys can have them? The WP:NOTTVGUIDE part of the policy doesn't distinguish shows in such manner. It is completely based on the notability of the show and its episodes when considered singly.

Treehouse attachment bolt

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Treehouse attachment bolt. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. You're already at 3RR. Don't blank or disrupt articles that are already at AfD. Especially not an AfD that you have no involvement in or respect for, you're merely going ahead with your usual deletion by increments already, despite any other consensus. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:51, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Wow you have a hard job.

I have been looking through your edits to get a sense for the work you do. I agreed with you every time. You posted on my user talk page and gave me pointers, and wanted more advise. I can see the necessary aggressiveness that is needed to keep the tone of Wikipedia correct, but I wanted help understanding why my perspective should be abandoned before I continued it or solicited help across the community. Since you do a lot of reverting, you might be in a position to either wave me off, or give me guidance. I would really rather be dissuaded or to persuade rather than get into the types of mini-wars that seem to follow good editors like you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.135.152 (talk) 09:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you look at my sandbox re ILADS page.

I am not saying this is ready to go, I just don't want to spend a month getting a lot of research and getting this perfectly balanced if this group is fringe. All I need is for the talk-group to decide it is fringe, and then I can move on. It does not have enough of the IDSA criticism of ILADS in it, nor does it have references to the fringe elements that need to be debunked, and I need to get the non-primary references perfect, and I am avoiding the medicine except where it is central to the story of the organization. But this is the flavor I am trying for. Please save me the time if they are to classified fringe, if you aren't sure I will keep working on it and see if it stands on its own later. I am slowly improving.

I was trying super hard to tell the story unbiased, and I need to put stronger language in the beginning on why IDSA was going after doctors licenses. Even if it were neutral is it still coat rack? If the reason an organization exists is because of a controversy, where is the coat-rack line.
Also, if the group is fringe I should not even be talking about the controversy. I really can't tell where the line is drawn in Wikipedia MED, it seems possible in medicine that all minority opinion should be considered fringe.Bob the goodwin (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:31, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Karan Singh Grover page

The Awards section that was reverted by you did have sources added with reference links. Was there any other issue with that and that's why it was reverted even with references added? Also do you just not like the Table setup and just prefer bullet points is that why everything was changed back to that? And for the career section about the list of shows if the info tab and explanation is removed and its just a list of shows, channel and year then is it okay to post? Just trying to get a clear idea of what exactly you are looking for in the page so i can change it that way.

Reverted my editing of side bars

Lisa Xu article - query

Hi, I see that you have removed some external links that were on the Lisa Xu article. I have read the wiki article you quoted but I am confused and wonder if you could clarify something. I (maybe wrongly) thought the external links section was for linking to sites directly connected to the subject? e.g. their web site, facebook page, twitter account etc. I know not to use those for referencing sentences in the main article, but understood it was fine to have them in the External links section to give the reader the option to obtain further information about the subject of the article. I see such references in hundreds of Wikipedia articles. Could you clarify please?. Thanks. Melbourne3163 (talk) 21:00, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

krampus revert

I was mildly horked off that you reverted my addition to the Krampus article (and when I say mildly I mean barely), but I had to say that I LOVE your screen name. PurpleChez (talk) 23:28, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the message!! After all this time I don't know how to/if I can message someone the way you messaged me... if you'd get some sorta notification if I posted under you message to me, etc. Anyhow... I'm actually ambivalent at best about pop culture references in Wikipedia. In fact, with some of the articles that I've created or heavily edited I've been tempted to add a "popular culture" section, but with text saying that the thing in question "has never been referenced on The Simpsons, South Park, or Family Guy." It's just that I've been on a Krampus kick this year, and when I was getting caught up with some recent American Dad episodes I was psyched not only to see Krampus, but a fairly accurate portrayal.

Reversion of my commentary on Telangana suicides

By principle, I object to emotional justification of any issue citing examples of people committing suicide for a cause. Unfortunately, politics of Telangana has degraded from a cause that started with justification based on economic backwardness and exploitation to emotional justification based on cultural uniqueness and number of suicides. Having been brought up in Adilabad, the most backward district of Telangana, I have seen first hand the reasons for backwardness where people are left behind due to lack of will and development policies by the new generation of elected representatives who have vested economic interests.

Andhra Pradesh in particular has seen a increased number of suicides since 2000 even before Telangana agitation got revived. Regarding farmer suicides, respected journalist Sainath has written well researched articles that confirm this trend http://www.indiatogether.org/2011/dec/psa-suidata.htm. The same has been confirmed by NCRB http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-12-09/news/44989050_1_rehabilitation-package-dowry-dispute-andhra-pradesh. Youth unemployment has been exacerbated by institutions incentivized by government's social welfare programs through Fee_Reimbursement_Scheme_(Andhra_Pradesh) producing large number of graduates without proper skills. These socio economic factors have been exploited by politicians to further the cause of Telangana. It is a fact that some of these lives could have been saved without the suicide worship culture that has been pushed by these politicians. Movies released on telangana theme have repeated these disturbing images http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_vLxHcihTE influencing our youth. Even the mother of the first recorded student suicide has put a case stating that a local TRS politician instigated her son http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-ttoTsqrak to resort to suicide.

Regarding the wiki article, I am fine for the entire paragraph on suicides to be removed. However if the article were to retain the number of suicides to justify the movement, I want the alternative view on why the suicides occurred to be present as well.

Your recent editing history at Talk:Zwarte Piet shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done.

Blanking of article / redirect

Please can you explain why you blanked/redirected this article?. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:12, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello, when someone is asked a question about blanking an article on their talk page the solution is not to ignore the talk and blank the article again. Please see WP:BRD. I have noted that you appear to be edit warring with User:CWH on the page you redirected it too as well. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:20, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
As there is no discussion, I will restore the article a second time. If you wish to delete an article then there is WP:AFD. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:29, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
It's reasonable to give an editor some time to respond. Round here it's after midnight on a Sunday, in the USA it's still Sunday.
I've restored the article – although I would expect it to be blanked for a fourth time. One can only assume that both editors involved in blanking it haven't actually read the article and don't realise that there are more languages used in China than Chinese. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

You caused a significant amount of disruption by your blanking of that article, wasting several hours of editor time. You were asked the question "(1) Please, for context, have you before blanked sourced articles with a substantial edit history and then blanked again when challenged? If so can you please give diffs to a couple of examples." You didn't address the questions, but the issue is there permanently now on the Talk page. Please do not blank sourced articles.

Unusual Deaths

I am unsure as to why you believe the source needs to specifically state that the death was unusual. I looked at other sources for different stories, such as the Segway death, and could not find a single mention of the word unusual, bizarre, or strange. Can you point me to somewhere where it states that this must be included in the reliable source? The addition has since been restored, but I would like to clarify with you about this so we can avoid any edit warring. Thank you. --Tarage (talk) 11:17, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Date of birth Reed Alexander‎

All I did on the Reed Alexander‎ page was to revert an anon-IP who had changed his year of birth from 1994 to 1995. I spent a lot of time trying to find a reliable source and failed, all I had was the tweet which confirmed the year. Now you come along and say "The source says 22". I am curious to know where this source is. The tweet is ambiguous because of time zones (it says 5am 23rd for me in the UK), and he did not necessarily send it on his actual birthday.

January 2014 - edit-warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mr Whoppit. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Removal of Abby Martin images

Those images are free to use and appropriately licensed. Why did you remove them? Viriditas (talk) 00:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

And six minutes after you erroneously removed them they were deleted on Commons, which is a world record of some kind. I'm curious, are you coordinating edits with other users on IRC? Viriditas (talk) 00:55, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
as you are fully aware there is a grand cabal whose entire purpose is to keep Martin from Wikpedia. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:10, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
How did the file get deleted on Commons six minutes after you removed it on Wikipedia? Are you aware that the license was valid, and that RT licenses images for use on Wikipedia? Did you ask someone off-wiki to delete the file? Viriditas (talk) 01:14, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
There are only four options: 1) a Commons admin saw that you removed the images from sandbox pages that few people watch and deleted it six minutes later. Highly unlikely and very unusual. 2) you said you wanted an image deleted on IRC, and a random admin obliged. Somewhat likely. 3) you personally contacted an admin and they deleted it by request in a record six minutes. Possible. 4) you have an admin account on Commons. Unknown. Viriditas (talk) 01:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
you forgot 5) the secrit Anti Abby Martin Cabal. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:42, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
So you won't answer a single question? Again, did you look at the licensing? I can't even point you to it or review it because you were able to get it deleted from Commons in six minutes, which is apparently a new world record considering how difficult it is to remove images from there. I think it took almost a week to delete images I nominated recently, not six minutes. Which brings up the issue of gaming the system to support your POV. I wonder if I need to escalate this to another noticeboard. Is your behavior still under discussion on AN or ANI or do I need to start a fresh report? Viriditas (talk) 01:48, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

You do realize, that all attempts to discuss the reason you removed a licensed image have failed due to your refusal to discuss it? Is there any reason this should not go to ANI? Viriditas (talk) 02:00, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Explanation about The recent change

I have removed the bold text just now. Other than that, there are sources required for some. But it's necessary to explain on the lead that Caste system is observed in other parts. If you go by archive, there was huge consensus about it as well. President of India is the first citizen, and a dalit being president is also a notable point.

Egyptian Constiutution

Look at the last speech Adly Mansour. He said constitutional amendment in 2012 not a new constitution. This is an amendment in 1980 as the constiution 1971 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Panam2014 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

But it's just a change in the constitution of 2012 is not a new one. This is a modification as it happened to the constitution of 1971, which was amended in 1980, but there is no article.

Constitution of Egypt

From your edit summary when you undid my edit, I get the distinct impression that you did not even look at the hatnote I added to Egyptian Constitution of 2014. "Doing a hatnote for 12 subjects" is not really an accurate description of what I did. But of course, it is very difficult to explain one's reasons for an edit fully in the limited space available in an edit summary. My concern is that a disambiguation page, by design, is just a bare list of article titles that does not provide much, if any, context for the reader. In this case, a reader looking for information about prior constitutions of Egypt would be helped more by the article History of the Egyptian Constitution, which provides that context, than by the bare list of a disambiguation page. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 16:09, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

PEAR

Hello Red Pen, I noticed that you nixed the WP:PROD on Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research. While I agree that there are third party sources which could be used to rewrite the article I think that PEAR may have a bigger problem: notability. When the article was first written (in 2004) PEAR was possibly the most significant parapsychological laboratory in America. However, now that PEAR has been closed for close to seven years I see little indication that PEAR has had any enduring impact on parapsychology. While I don’t doubt that it seemed notable in 2004, it doesn’t seem that PEAR has really left a mark on history. I think it might be useful to let the article undergo a deletion discussion to establish what place (if any) PEAR has in Wikipedia.

That’s my suggestion anyway. Please think it over. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 17:55, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

No, I don’t wish to question that presumption. My concern is chiefly that others will question that presumption and that the article will end up on the chopping block sooner or later. It would be a shame if you took the time to flesh it out only for the article to be deleted for lack of notability.
That said, if you’re determined that it should stay then I guess I trust your judgment. 76.107.171.90 (talk) 18:29, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Removal of talk page section

Since this edit removed some talk page posts by you, I thought it a courtesy to let you know. If you want to, please feel free to revert, but in my opinion it is better to remove the content, which at best is ban-evasion, and is also close to outright trolling.

Solution

So how long are we gonna keep reverting fans from Indian TV related article? I was doing this job that you now do in 2012. But then i gave it up as it was endless. Can't something sort of permanent be done about it? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:31, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm still involved in it, but it seems TheRedPenOfDoom always gets around to it before I do! I think the situation has improved a lot since a few long-term editors have started watchlisting and regularly patrolling the articles. Long-term semi-protection seems to have helped with the worst cases (like Uttaran); the policy-violating fans seem to lose interest after not being able to edit for several months, and after the protection expires they don't show up as often (or at all). —Psychonaut (talk) 14:59, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Give me the most controversial ones, on-wiki content creation has been pretty boring, vandal-fighting has lost its charm. I think its high time that I break few fan's hearts. Soham 15:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Rather than breaking their hearts it would be good if you could help educate them into becoming good Wikipedians. (That is, explain why we can't accept non-free content or overly long plot summaries, and encourage them to improve the articles in a manner befitting our project's scope.) For the vast majority of dynamic IP editors this won't be possible, but I have seen it happen with regular account holders. —Psychonaut (talk) 16:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Has the process been successful in the recent past? Seems to be useful. Soham 16:10, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's happened once or twice in the past year that a new registered account adding unsourced material, overly long plot summaries, and/or copyright-infringing material to Indian TV and movie articles reformed after repeated reverts and explanations. Can't remember the names off the top of my head—I've been helping clean the articles since 2012 and there have been so many usernames that they all blend together for me. :) —Psychonaut (talk) 17:18, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Jimmy Henchman. Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. STATic message me! 03:48, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Jimmy Henchman shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

favour

An IP deled the material from the Independent about the spending of the RTE money in memory of a deceased Ions member. (Some of the money is going to a fund in memory of a savagely murdered member of the institute, Tom O'Gorman. ref in cite in article) Consider if that claim is appropriate to the Iona article. Cheers. Collect (talk) 19:02, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Ave atque Vale

Per the strange emasculation of WP:BLP at WP:AN/EW I say "Hail and Farewell". If a retracted item gets printed by someone else, it can now be used in BLPs, even where the original "publisher" (in the case at hand, RTE) has removed it from view, and removed it from outside sites under copyright law (and paid a fortune rather than fight defamation suits). But the defamation can be placed boldly on Wikipedia in BLPs. I do not agree always with anyone, but this particular view of WP:BLP is one I personally can not abide. Cheers. Collect (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Paul Murphy quotes

I suggest that since Paul Murphy did not get much RS coverage of his "homophobia" comments, that it may be UNDUE to place them into a BLP. His citing of specific names does not add to the article, and may be a BLP violation n its own -- it would be equally strong and not pushing WP:BLP if it were just changed to "Paul Murphy, MEP, supported Panti's use of 'homophobia'." Though I am uncertain just how notable the opinion of any MEP actually is, per se. Cheers. Collect (talk) 15:03, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

you mean in addition to the IT, the lack of coverage in the The Journal and the lack of coverage in the American publication The Advocate and the lack of coverage in The Independent? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
The quotes appear to be about as important as the endless material in the Congressional Record - the opinion of a singularly unimportant politician who is immune from any rules about defamation. We can certainly state that he supports Panti, but repeating allegations about living persons, even if the speaker has legislative immunity, is contrary to BLP. I trust you see the point I am making. Collect (talk) 15:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
the endless quotes made by MPs are rarely if ever covered by all three major Irish newspapers let alone American press. So no, I do not see your point. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:17, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
  • It also featured on RTE [14]. Unimportant? Ireland has only 12 MEPs. Paul Murphy is a household name in Ireland. IRWolfie- (talk) 10:38, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Reverting Iona Institute

I note your continuous reverts to the Iona Institute page. This story has now been headline news in Ireland for 2 weeks. The story itself has been reported on BBC News in the UK and tonight there's a feature on Channel 4 news in the UK. This is by far the biggest controversy the group has been involved in. Paul Moloney (talk) 17:47, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

But that is just the point, at this point it is merely "controversy" - lots of hot air, millions of pixels, and naught for actual impact. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Pen, by that reasoning the Seralini affair is just lots of hot air. Is that what you claim? IRWolfie- (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Third parties have commentated on the impact of the "affair" -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:55, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Third party commentary exists (i.e blogs, senators, TDS, MEPs), but don't constitute secondary sources. They would be primary opinions. Journalists have written analyses of the events. Secondary sources "relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere" and syntheses them together. That is what the newspaper coverage does. In the US there is a tendency to throw in opinions as well, but that is not the job of a secondary source. Irish newspapers stick to the facts as much as possible. Also Red, apply the exact same criteria you have described to every other section of that article. Do it. IRWolfie- (talk) 19:07, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
You have again proven my point. The Newspapers are merely reporting the incidents. We need a third party reliable source - NOT WIKIPEDIA EDITORS - to place the events into context and show that they have some meaning and importance. And yes, the rest of the article sucks too, but clearly that is not a reason to add more bad content to the article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Facepalm Facepalm. Newspapers are analysing the events, they are not throwing in opinions. There is a difference. IRWolfie- (talk) 19:27, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Where is this analysis? I have looked at lots and lots and lots of the articles and merely seen recitation of this happened and this happened and this happened but no "because" or "that means" or "its important" or any analysis. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:32, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
I will look at the very first source used in that section [15]. How you can say there is no in depth analysis there, I don't know. The kind of analysis you are looking for are opinion pieces, not factual articles. Opinion pieces wouldn't generally be reliable for inclusion except as opinion. They also exist, but I intentionally stay away from them. They are synthesising the primary sources, and that makes them a secondary source by definition.

I think the article has been improved enough to remove tags. I little insertion and emphasis of mainstream consensus and description as fringe is probably appropriate, with due respect for the considerable effort of a relatively new editor. - - MrBill3 (talk) 07:33, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

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

FYI

Greetings. In case you didn't know; Edits in the topic area of "race" by anons that geolocate to Korea are practically guaranteed to be sockpuppets of User:Mikemikev. I.e., Nuke from orbit, destroy with fire, use the Death Star, fire all phasers, weapons free, strike with the red pen of doom, etc. Enjoy:) — ArtifexMayhem (talk) 23:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Subhash K. Jha

With due respect i agree with you on this but how can u judge that skjbollywoodnews.com is not a reliable source, it is headed by veteran journalist Subhash K. Jha giving reviews from almost 20 years and all of the reviews are his, i didn't add anything which is spammy or out of context. Adding reliable source and comments are of what wikipedia is all about, you can't just consider anything spammy as per your opinion. I with due respect like you to take notice of all the reviews done by Subhash K. Jha and try to verify the fact before considering something reliable or not. You have full authority to delete anything anytime but considering a reliable source spammy doesn't solve the purpose. Final decision rests on you. And SK jha is the main source of content for IANS and all major websites. With warm regards Thank YouVaibhav.times (talk) 14:15, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

edit warring

Hello Im jeffrd10 I can see that you are in a dispute with Pavanjandhyala and Are currently warring. I would like to remind you of the three revert rule and to remind you not to do more than 3 reverts in 24 hours or I will report you. I also see no attempt at conceses so please instead of warring try to reach consensus on the article's talk page. Thank You.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 14:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Heart Attack

I see that you remove reviews from the critics reception from the article Heart Attack. It is unfair to remove the reviews there which are considered to be done by professional sites. You did the same in the case of Yevadu previously and Raghusri reverted back the changes citing your edit a removal of content on 13 January 2014 12:00. I too reverted your edit on the same basis. Hope you don't repeat it again. I would repeat to revert, it you repeat to remove. Thank you :| Yours sincerely, Pavanjandhyala (talk) 14:08, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Just a note to watch you don't go over WP:3RR. I have opened a discussion here. --NeilN talk to me 14:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

See, WP:PROVEIT cannot be used in this case to check their reliability. If they are indeed non reliable sources, give/provide a list of websites publishing the reliable news/reviews. Even then many users still use those sites since they found them reliable. Please help in these matters. If there is indeed such a list or restriction, we may avoid using them. But stating all of them non reliable would result in one thing only - Removal of substantial part of content in many pages. Even websites like IBTimes India, The Times of India gets the news info from source like 123telugu, gulte, idlebrain etc. which you considered to be non reliable. This matter definitely needs your help. Please do respond soon at my talk page. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 11:19, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Please note that this page has been vetted, litigated and adjudicated by the Wikipedia community. I think the RfD would be instructive.

Regarding your edit to Arvind Kejriwal

Hi, The intro is slightly incorrect, and previously worked as a bureaucrat in various government agencies. He worked only as an IRS in one federal agency over his entire tenure. Adding that he's a former bureaucrat would be better, isn't it. Also, I think under the AAP banner isn't good for the intro. Tell me what you think. Harsh (talk) 06:36, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on this article. It's been a constant pain in the ass due to a steady stream of CBS employees coming over to edit the page.

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
For being a highly active editor for all these years and for your 74000+ edits. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:58, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

WBLS

What is your issue with this particular article? Why do you continue to revert this article back to your preferred version, which is rife with typos, poorly-written promotional material, and leaves out a large chunk of ACCURATE, FACTUAL, and SOURCED INFORMATION??

Your reasoning for your continued revertions is bogus. Especially after your recent activity, when the station's impending sale to Emmis Communications was included **with a citation**. Yet you ignored it completely and reverted to the version you approve. This is not working with consensus or cooperating with other editors.

I would seriously advise you to take whatever issues you have with the format and material in the article to the talk page in the future before you think about reverting again. Many editors have worked hard on this article and it would be a shame if one bad apple uses it as a pawn in their effort to make a point. 71.167.98.104 (talk) 23:40, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

"At Wikipedia, we write encyclopedia articles, not promotional personal commentary. If typos irk you, fix them, but you cannot continue to revert to a version rife with promotional terminology "basketball legend", unsourced claims and inappropriate typefacing and other issues prohibited by our policies and guidelines."
Where is the "personal commentary"? How much do you know about the history of New York radio? (Are you even from New York?) There are a ton of resources which clearly back up the stories of WBLS' role in changing the radio landscape in the 1970s. In a bigger scale, it was a large part of FM eclipsing AM as the band of choice for music listeners. THAT IS A FACT.
And the last time I checked, Magic Johnson IS a basketball legend. He's a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, class of 2002. THAT IS A FACT.
Sorry Charlie, but your arguments hold no weight. In fact, the version of the article you selfishly continue to shove down our throats is filled with all this garbage you claim is prohibited. Try practicing what you preach. 71.167.98.104 (talk) 00:22, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Where the Boys Are

I put the original citation for the Lisanti book on the entry for this film. This is an excellent book but the financial figures are taken from Variety, and it is a secondary source. I then came across figures based on the Eddie Mannix Ledger, at the Margaret Herrick Library in Los Angeles, which are figures from MGM itself and thus more accurate. They should be preferred to the Lisanti book - I'm sure if Lisanti had had the Eddie Mannix figures he would have used them himself. Dutchy85 (talk) 01:58, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Hasee Toh Phasee

As far as "sourced" is concerned, things that are 100% true are sourced, as they can easily be verified anywhere. Is it Sidharth Malhotra's second film? Yes. Is it Parineeti Chopra's fourth? Yes. Does his name appear first in the credits? Yes. All facts are verifiable, and therefore valid.

As far as "relevance" is concerned, if your objection is merely to the fact that that piece of information does not belong in the opening section, I am perfectly willing to put it in another section at the bottom, even though I do not agree with you. Bollywood is notorious for extremely sexist billing, and that is very relevant from my point of view. However, I do understand that Wikipedia is not necessarily a platform to bring such things to attention, and am therefore willing to make the adjustment I mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.179.154.60 (talk) 14:15, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not your personal website

Quench Polish Quench

I don't know why you removed the references at this article. If you look at the talk page of the article, you will see I have been trying to add references. I've taken out your tags. Si Trew (talk) 16:34, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

THe thing is RedPen, I actually PRODded this for exactly the reason you have on your edit summary, because it was a push of a product (or rather asserted it was). But having done some research, the quench-polish-quench process is not exclusively used by one company, although many companys kinda assert trademarks on it; I removed the trademark assertions but left them in the reference which to me seemed fine because one should quote literally from a source (in main text I would have removed it). I have tried to balance it in that way. Si Trew (talk) 16:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
How is Liapina, T.; Leineweber, A.; Mittemeijer, E. J. (June 2003). "Nitrogen redistribution in ε/γ′-iron nitride compound layers upon annealing". Scripta Materialia. 48 (12). Elsevier: 1643–1648. Retrieved 16 February 2014.(subscription required) a "company pimping its products"? That reference was not there four days ago, now it is because I checked it and looked it up. I should like to have the graphs out of that article but they are probably copyright. Si Trew (talk) 16:42, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Karan Singh Grover

Hello, i don't understand why you keep deleting the awards and information about Karan Singh Grover because of unreliable source, according to you!! Why are other pages like that one from Gurmeet Choudhary not deleted all the time? Gurmeet Choudhary's page doesn't contain any souces considering the awards he has won and still no one cares but as soon as i write the awards of karan down, it is instantly deleted!! so why does Karan Singh Grover's page need reliable sources and Gurmeet Choudhary's page doesn't need any sources at all?


But why do you see the resources as unreliable?I watched for example the award shows and if you want i can post them here, so it is reliable.. further every indian news page posts about it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assiaksgian1 (talk • contribs) 15:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey friend! With all due respect, he is a professional reviewer and has reviewed numerous Tamil films as can be seen here. Also, the other reference hasn't been named as a critic. It is used to support how the audience responded to the film and I believe it qualifies as an audience response. And, no contents have been added from it, therefore doesn't violate any policies. -- Sriram speak up 14:13, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

@Sriram Vikram: That he has posted a lot of reviews on the web that have been inappropriately used on wikipedia articles is not proof of anything. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:30, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Then you gotto check this. Would you still maintain your stand? -- Sriram speak up 14:38, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
how is that any different? lots of inappropriate sites have been used multiple times on wikipedia articles. that does not mean they are anywhere near meeting WP:RS criteria, -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:41, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
When a website has been providing film reviews consistently without bias, doesn't it make it RS? Or, does it always have to be print sources which would disqualify even sify and rediff. -- Sriram speak up 14:44, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

You have spammed my sandbox three times with 2 hours. My sandbox is there so I can add references as I go. The reason for your spam is that I said that person issued violent threats from jail.
