Good catch there! Let's hope someone can start an article on the ceramicist to establish notability, else out she must go. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 02:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

G-d vrs. God

Re: Satan#Judaism

The only reason why I put it as G-d was because it was under the Judaism section, and I thought it would be more appropriate for a Jewish audience, but perhaps you're right and it is not necessary. Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 17:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Your comment to Mrfivethrity

edit

Hi. I've got several concerns about the comment you left Mrfivethirty[1]:

  • It's not very nice. The word "shabby" comes to mind.
  • It's just egging the person on.
  • You are "outing" a person's identity on Wikipedia. However transparent it might have been before, that's still a big no-no. I've seen editors get seriously sanctioned even for outing transparently identifiable users.
  • If this person comes up with an article that truly meets all our requirements (as you're saying he's threatened to do), well I say bring it on. I'm happy to have an encyclopaedic article. I'm skeptical one can be made, but if it can be, we're better off if we have it.
  • We model the behaviour we want to see in others.
  • None of us, no matter how well established we are around here, is above our norms of etiquette, even in dealing with vexatious people. That goes for you and me, just like everyone else.

Mostly, I just keep coming back to my first comment above. --A. B. (talkcontribs) 10:01, 19 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

In a similar vein, I'd be grateful if you'd strike the response you left to Mrfivethirty on my talkpage. Goading a blocked user by loosely comparing their contributions to a sex offender is not at all constructive. Yunshui  09:24, 10 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Not sure if you wanted me to "strike" as in "strike-through", or literally delete. I don't mind if you delete the comment Mongoletsi (talk) 12:03, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Unless you want it deleted, I'm perfectly happy with a strikethrough. Yunshui  12:05, 24 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Edit Summary

edit

This edit [2] is not 'nonsense', it's badly written but factually correct, the Númenóreans are considered to have 'purer' blood and to be the rightful kings of men due to their ancestry from the holy Ainur, basically Tolkien's take on the God given right of hereditary monarchs.

Hi Mongoletsi... thanks for joining CommOER! A newsletter with more information is coming soon. Let me know if you'd like to work on any OER articles in particular and I may be able to connect you to others with similar concerns. - Sara FB (talk) 15:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Chemtrail conspiracy theory may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:
  • The term ''chemtrail'' is a [[[portmanteau]] of the words "chemical" and "trail," just as ''contrail'' is a contraction of "

No, that last edit won't do either. I really have no idea what you were getting at with the "unspecified" Bachelor of Science. In any case, it seems like you are wanting to prove a negative (that he has no psychological training) but it needs a reliable source. I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard to find, but even then I'd have reservations about including it in the article - we don't normally state what people don't have degrees in.

Unacceptable. You're asking me to prove a negative. I'm reinstating my change and the onus is now on you. Mongoletsi (talk) 12:32, 19 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

DS Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
