I guess actions do speak louder than words, and by your own flawed comment, '''I''' am more experienced. Kudos to your "logic", but your remark was as poorly thought out as your edit summaries, and an attack on my understanding of something I know fine well about shows that – you seem to enjoy provoking editors with that [[superiority complex]] attitude. Do try to [[WP:COMPETENCE|learn from your mistakes]], rather than compound them further. The only reason there is a dispute here, is because you're too egotistic to accept that you were in the wrong.

License tagging for Image:Inkeri.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Inkeri.png. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Your input requested

Hi. A proposal on the re-creation of WP:RUSSIA is currently underway at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Russia/Proposal. One of the main points is that we should have workgroups covering different topics. We are trying to ascertain the interest of editors in various workgroups under WP:RUSSIA, such as history, politics, biographical, etc; as your userpage indicates you are Russian or live in Russia, perhaps you can take a read of the proposal, comment on it wherever you have thoughts, and perhaps provide details of any Russian topics you may be interested and are willing to collaborate with other editors on? Your input is valued. Cheers. --Russavia Dialogue Stalk me 20:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IRCd Operator abuse

I noticed your note in the html of IRCd. The Operator abuse section is valid but could be written better and certainly needs references. There were quite a number of operators who were sanctioned on EFnet in the mid to late 1990s over that sort of behavior (I actually could name names of a number of those operators but that might not be a good idea on wiki). There should be archived emails of this stuff still around, possibly on the EFnet website somewhere. Google should turn up something. Another place to check for archived copies of this stuff would be Google Groups usenet archives. A good bit of IRC admin discussion still took place on usenet and other stuff discussed via email listserv was often reflected to the IRC-related usenet groups.

Neptune's winds

I saw you made a change to the lead of the wind article. What is the source of your addition? It needs to be in the article below, using a cite nnnn reference, or someone could potentially send the article to FAR. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:12, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind. The information was already in the article below. When you work on an article for a few months, you can forget what you've thrown in there. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a lot of references in Neptune#Climate about velocity of that winds. I am not sure that namely these two planets have “strongest winds”. Should we mention only Saturn, if winds on Neptune and, possibly, Jupiter are stronger? I have no objections to throwing the mention of planets away. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 09:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, we can't throw them out per the wind FAC comments, which forced their inclusion. What you did was fine. Thegreatdr (talk) 13:06, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alcohol abuse

I see that you have moved 'USA College binge drinking' back to 'Alcohol abuse'.

I agree with you that 'Alcohol abuse' is a serious, international subject. The content of the article, however, does not describe the disease or its effects in the world. The content describes the problems of college students in the United States.

Could I suggest that you undo the move and start a new article 'Alcohol abuse' with content about the disease and its problems in the world? A stub would be valuable as a begining. Thanks! jmcw (talk) 10:06, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MAKS 2009

Hello Incnis Mrsi!

I want to state one question to you: From August 19th until August 23rd the MAKS Airshow takes place again in Zhukovsky, near Moscow. Do you have the time to go there in order to take a lot of photos? Would be unique contribution for Wikimedia. I hope your response is positive.

Your rollback request

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 11:37, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Said what? I will use rollback, of course, at least for some years. Thank you very much and don’t remove anything from my rights, please ☺ Incnis Mrsi (talk) 18:43, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2 ru interwikis at 1 page?

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Wikipedias&curid=6050087&diff=348177056&oldid=347013010 I don't think that's correct. --Obersachse (talk) 10:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, I made it in a way which you don't like. You was welcomed to the discussion, but you recently declared something like “I want to eliminate links between different namespaces because such links usually lead to interwiki conflicts. But [my position] was fiercely attacked in en.wiki and now let him/them care about interwiki and incorrect links without me, as they are so smart”[1]. OK, I am so smart and I fixing the problem in my openly planned way, which appears to face no objections. Please, try to present your arguments for interwiki purism again in that already established discussion. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:11, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Your way (linking to more than one page of a language) causes interwikiconflicts. --Obersachse (talk) 15:46, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Counter-vandalism

Hello and thanks for the reminder. I am well aware that I sometimes miss previous edits in a series of vandalism but most of the time I actually check the page history and then take the last good version to reset the article. Moreover, I think rollback is rather impractical because a) it needs to be applied for, b) any coded tool is only as practical as the code applied and c) not all edits by the same editor in a row are likely vandalism. So I prefer to use the "undo" button for single edits or just to restore an older version from scratch. De728631 (talk) 21:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer permission

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC) [reply]

ClueBot NG

Hello, Incnis Mrsi. You have new messages at ClueBot Commons's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

My rationale is this: on March 27 this year, Russia will advance their clocks forward but it will not actually be daylight saving time, as they will be keeping "summer time" for the whole year. As a result, I reworded all mentions of daylight saving time, but, following March 27, I will advance the time offsets for all Russian time zones by an hour to reflect actual time usage. If you think this is presumptuous of me, then the reverts you have done are OK with me (except that the table for the tz database will need to be changed so that it is a bit more consistent), but I think that some sort of edit similar to what I have done should be performed after March 27 to prevent confusion. ZanderSchubert (talk) 10:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Existence of free protons in ordinary liquids

Here I mean "ordinary" as on Earth at STP, not in the cores of neutron stars. No, free protons do not exist in liquids, since they always attach themselves to the electron cloud in the nearest molecule/anion, which is always available. There may exist free "solvated electrons" in liquids (like sodium dissolving in liquid ammonia to give a nice color), but electrons have sqrt(1836) = 43 times longer wavelengths than do protons, at any energy. A proton at room temp has a wavelength of 2 angstroms or so, which is far too small for them to sit in a cage between negatively charged anions and not be able to make a choice of which way to go and which to sit on, like the proverbial donkey starving between piles of hay. Protons have no reason to delocalize at room temperature.

Yes, I know the article on superacids talks about free protons in liquids, but it gives no references, and frankly I don't believe it. Ab initio QM calculations show protons hopping from anion-to-anion in the strongest superacid known, just as they do in water, via the Grotthuss mechanism. See [2].

So, some editor who claims to know what he's talking about, has reverted me on this point. There's my cite and there's my reasoning. Now, what have YOU got? And by the way, I'm going to go add a [citation needed] to the statement in superacids. SBHarris 00:36, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"... think about what you upload into Wikipedia!"

I used to leave comments like that until I learned that insult and arrogance interfere with editing. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, explain, what means this[3] edit. It is highly implausible that a very experienced user is not familiar with well known things about page moves and maintaining edit histories. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:06, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may find it "highly implausable" that a highly experienced editor did not know there was a reason not to move a page by copy-and-paste, but this is the first I've heard of a need to preserve a sacrosanct edit history for copyright purposes. You'd think that with all the destruction of contested articles, that are eventually again started in another form or by another name (with no attribution to previous versions), and then kept, that somebody would have mentioned this potential alligator in the swamp. ;) Never have I seen a mention of it in the RfD wars. Nor did I know that non-admins can move a page using page-move. So, I learned two things. Next time, I'll do it correctly. Thanks for the lesson. SBHarris 18:11, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of PNG Stereo for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article PNG Stereo is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PNG Stereo until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Smjg (talk) 23:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For a relatively new editor, you certainly had a bright idea on the MOS (linking) page about redirects rather than # direct links. I never even thought of that. Brilliant! And well-explained to boot. Keep up the good work! Student7 (talk) 22:17, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation


Hello Incnis Mrsi/Archive 1! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

  • If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.


You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

"name = equation"...

Cheers - I did try that when I created the account and started on wikipedia but it didn't work. I'm not sure if it really matters; the caret-wedge shape symbol ⋀ and the cross-times symbol × are both used for the vector product of two vectors, so its not completley unrecognizible. Thats whats in the formula - the vector product of velocity v and magnetic field B. The process of changing names seems lengthly and involved, somehow, and you need to see Bureaucrats and all that. I would rather just stick to the current name and continue to edit - but thanks again =) Happy New Year! -- F = q(E + v × B) 17:25, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Assertive?) reply from Dirac equation (section)

Please excuse this intrusion, but you've got it all wrong, Incnis Mrsi. I never become insulted, or look for credit becuase I'm so self-obsessed with my edits, or any of that crap. All I ask for is feedback on my edits, becuase I really would like to know if people think mine are really bad, and what other editors prefer instead (whenever I appear to be "insulted", although not). I really don't mind if others obliterate my edits in place of better content (also - the point of Wikipedia would defeated if this were not so).

Of course: anyone may assume what they assume, but thats the truth. It just becomes irritating when a statement like that is made without reason. -- F = q(E + v × B) 20:00, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Datagram vs. Virtual circuit

Datagram

  • Connectionless
  • Every packet is processed independently
  • Each packet (from the same message) can be transferred through any reasonable path as long as they are going closer to the destination mentioned in each packet's info
  • Packets can arrive in a different order
  • Packets can get lost
  • It's the receiver's job to "order" the missed packets and organize them in a proper order


Virtual circuit

  • Connection-oriented
  • Before sending each message the path is decided for every packet
  • Connection is request- and accept control-packets (handshake)
  • Instead of destination info, each packet has a description of its own virtual circuit


As you can see, datagram and virtual circuit are indeed opposite of each other. I am returning my edit to both articles.


If still in doubt, please don't change the articles any more, but:

  1. read some books (like the Tanenbaum's Computer Networks).
  2. create the open discussion and tell me about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mixer (talk • contribs) 21:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Center of mass

Regarding your recent revert with the comment to "please, walk through average and arithmetic mean links to verify that such definitions are inapplicable to most bodies. the only relevant case would be a body composed of several *identical* particles":

Please note that my wording was "average location of all the mass", not "average location of all the particles". If the mass is unevenly distributed at different points, the average location of the mass will reflect that. This is in agreement with the average of a function:

Make it a triple integral over the entire body or set of bodies, define f(x) as the mass density, and you have the average location of the mass, which is the mass center. MarcusMaximus (talk) 21:08, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, I have the mean density. And what do you have? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 05:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake in defining the integrand. I should have defined f(x)=x*ρ(x), which is a generic position vector x multiplied by the density function ρ evaluated at the position x. The integral is taken over all the mass, and the leading factor is 1/mass. Now the result is the center of mass, right? MarcusMaximus (talk) 04:20, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Uniform motion listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Uniform motion. Since you had some involvement with the Uniform motion redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Tideflat (talk) 22:19, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Absolute Value page

Incnis Mrsi, ​ While I agree with your reasoning for reverting the absolute value page as you did, I think it was rather clumsy of you to undo a change several edits back without more careful examination of the content. There was at least one change that was completely valid that you effectively erased with your revert. Please be more careful in the future, otherwise, happy hunting.KlappCK (talk) 20:04, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Hello, I'm Andy Dingley. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Describing Globbett's edits, both on article talk pages and in comments hidden in the Nutation (disambiguation) article as "contamination" is not acceptable behaviour, per WP:CIVIL. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:39, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now resolved, I think. Globbet (talk) 23:41, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, friendly advice: if you think you understand English better than native speakers you will make yourself look daft. Globbet (talk) 23:41, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Incnis- I saw your edits to the Delete key article, partially reverting my previous ones, and wanted to let you know that the way I changed the lead sentence did in fact retain the article title as its subject. The construction "performs a function...which is to discard" is quite awkward English, which is why I changed it. In addition, I believe it is preferred practice on WP to use italics in lieu of double quotes for presenting terms the way del and delete were in the last sentence. I don't want you to think I made my edits without considering well what I was doing. I think your addition of the delete key "x" symbol is an improvement, though this imageis more representative, I believe. I hope if you consider what I've written, you will agree that my edits were improvements to the article intro. Regards, Eric talk 23:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My research found MANY Paul Dohertys just in the UK. There is a scientist, a (I believe) footballer or some such sport, and there is a musician, and then there is another writer, and then the author in the article. There are several also in Ireland and the U.S. These are just the FAMOUS ones. Mugginsx (talk) 11:36, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although I gave you a chance, you did not present any other Paul C. Doherty, famous or not especially so, but anyone (but the author) who could meet WP:BIO. Just one concrete objection, and I would stop. Since your adding of "(author)" appeared to be redundant, I reverted it. You did not discuss you move (which was made against guidelines), so I did not announce my revert, which rectified the page title according to a guideline. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Incris Mrsi, Would you please tell me what or why you did this?
(Move log); 10:50 . . Incnis Mrsi (talk | contribs) moved page Paul C. Doherty to User:Mugginsx/Paul C. Doherty without leaving a redirect ‎(kicking off a meddled redirect created by two hasty and reckless page moves – unfortunalety I have not a sysop to suppress)
It looks like you tried to move the entire article to MY talk page? For the record, I did not interfer with your changing of the article name in ANY way, though I disagreed with it and moved the explanation for my disagreement where it should have been discussed in the first place, i.e., on the article talk page. This is perfectly acceptable Wiki practice. Mugginsx (talk) 13:43, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. It was a side effect of a WP:MOR. If you do not like that pages in your user space, use {{db-u1}} on [4][5]. And move a page once next time. Unlike edits, a page move is a resource-consuming operation and should not be done hastily. First think, then move, not versa. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever you say, I am too busy to argue and it was awhile ago. I have been moving pages for many years and have never had a problem. Mugginsx (talk) 15:55, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, this guy is so busy that removes a thing he just do not like from his user talk page. The censorship is a big busyness. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If there is some reason you cannot edit articles today I apologize in advance, but tell me, what is the point of arguing on Wikipedia instead of editing? If you do not know what article to work on there is a section entitled: Wikipedia:Articles for creation. At the present we are short on editors and long on troublemakers. This will surely give you something creative to do. Mugginsx (talk) 17:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I ever edited 1938 pages in en.wiki's main namespace, not counting contributions on Wikimedia Commons and Russian Wikipedia. When I do not edit articles, I spend my time fixing mistakes of Wikipedia users which have dozen times more hits to "Save", "Move" or "Delete" than distinct articles edited. Or, sometimes, arguing with them. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you finally interjected some humor. While I have been editing articles, you have spent these hours looking at statistics to see what you could say about me. As I said, we are short on editors and long on troublemakers. Mugginsx (talk) 20:00, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I could use a little more elaboration on what you think was wrong with the edit. Correctly replacing three hyphen-minuses with two minus signs and one en dash was correct in these circumstances. StringTheory11 (t • c) 18:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are not welcome on my talk page since this. It is a bigotry, a thing not forbidden in Wikipedia, but a kind of behaviour I hate. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very well. I will stay off your talk page until September 19, as long as you stay off mine. StringTheory11 (t • c) 21:57, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article: "Boolean algebra (structure)": "Examples" diagrams

Regarding the three example Boolean logic diagrams (under "Examples"), the "and" and the "or" symbols need to be exchanged in their respective example diagrams. I update only rarely, and my updating skills are rudimentary. Would someone else please make that change? Clarepawling (talk) 01:08, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exchanged for which rate? ☺ I do not see anything wrong with "∧ as and, ∨ as or", and their respective truth tables are perfectly correct, seriously. Post your concerns to article's talk page if you are dissatisfied with my reply. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:18, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Thank you. Your edit summaries come across as condescending and border-line personal attacks, and not least are pointy behaviour. Please refrain from hostile commentary within edit summaries. Please comment on content, not contributors, per Wikipedia guidelines. If you don't have anything good to say, don't leave a summary at all, that way you can't be accused of offending anyone. Such attacks may be reported as uncivil. Please respect other editors, and in return they will respect you. Thanks for your understanding. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 10:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another personal remark without diffs (I mean the section #Proton above). One of things the most detrimental to the collaborative spirit is such ambiguous and imprecise accusations. If not on my personal talk page, I just ignore it. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Seems "collaborative spirit" is something which eludes you, given that these are just a few of your uncivil remarks in edit summaries. Your retort, however, carries no weight. Evidence does. Further attacks on editors such as this will be brought to admin attention. In short, stop being a WP:DICK by making obnoxious summaries to get your own way. WP:AGF is a core principal of Wiki. You seem to forget thet with remarks such as "what a crap?" as a summary. All the evidence lies here, Special:Contributions/Incnis Mrsi. You need not acknowledge that they are uncivil or not, as Wiki is not a place where you can judge yourself. Ignorance is what leads to people getting blocked, FYI, whether they be vandals, socks or hostile towards others edits. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 11:33, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
All evidences? Do you speak about, possibly, a hundred or two hundreds of mistakes among more than four thousands edits? I do not see anything wrong with "what a crap?" and "there are many people who know" altogether, and consider "MISERABLE_FAILURE" an adequate description of the entire https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=First_period_of_World_War_II&action=history (although not good as an edit summary for that single edit). Sorry for "U.S.Americans were always the first", it really was an unjustified remark directed towards a certain part of users. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:45, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The purpose of an edit summary is.. oh, surprise.. to summarise the edit you just made. Since when does "miserable failure" ever describe any form of edit? Or "what the crap" for that matter? It was clearly an attack on the previous editors redirection which you strongly disapprove of. Furthermore, your opening of Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 September 9#.E2.80.A6 period of World War II without notifying editors in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#World War II started in.E2.80.A6 was nothing short of rude behaviour. When a discussion reaches no consensus, it is unwise to WP:FORUMSHOP until a result that suits you. In this case, you should have left a comment advising MilHist editors of the RfD, as a common courtesy, not dismissed their remarks to pursue your own avenues. And I agree that you should not be using remarks such as "hostile" and "clumsy" in an opening post to sway opinion, it results in an unbalanced discussion from the outset. As I said, it's a matter of being civil when a dispute arises. You need to tone down your attitude and be more objective, in order to achieve your goals. Call it advise.. bearing in mind that I'm not involved in the discussion, so I can't be accused of talking sides. ;) Ma®©usBritish{chat} 11:59, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
A forum shopping? Please, try to understand better what is means, rather than to bog into such a dispute with (sorry) an experienced user. What we see with the redirects?
  • I discovered that redirects and started a discussion.
  • Andrew Gray (talk · contribs) reverted my edit with an unclear edit summary.
  • The discussion on the wikiproject actually led to a stalemate with Andrew Gray on one side (who was willing to push his position in the article's space) and two users on another side (which were not willing to engage into edit wars).
  • Henceforth, I passed the question to evaluation by a broader community.
It is a normal and useful dispute resolution process. If you could refer to this as a forum shopping, then you probably never saw a real forum shopping. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you really feel the need to refer to immature comments such as "try to understand better what is means, rather than to bog into such a dispute with (sorry) an experienced user", to determine who is right, then so be it.

You have 4,273 edits on en-wiki
I have 9,640 edits on en-wiki

I guess actions do speak louder than words, and by your own flawed comment, I am more experienced. Kudos to your "logic", but your remark was as poorly thought out as your edit summaries, and an attack on my understanding of something I know fine well about shows that – you seem to enjoy provoking editors with that superiority complex attitude. Do try to learn from your mistakes, rather than compound them further. The only reason there is a dispute here, is because you're too egotistic to accept that you were in the wrong. Next time, I'll refer it to AN/I to resolve it.. seeing how you enjoy the drama. Conversation over. До скорой встречи. Ma®©usBritish{chat} 12:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
