An anonymous editor messed with the Mendocino County, California election results for the last presidential election, but didn't provide a source, so I reverted the edit and warned them. Their edit summary used the great word "Fix" which so often is used by POV editors. I left them the standard level 2 warning because their numbers did not match the numbers that were there and they didn't cite anything. I get back from work to find a threat on my talk page; not much of one but still someone not clear on the concept. I found the official county of Mendocino numbers and added the citation so that no one goes to the citation at the bottom and readds the wrong numbers. I would have been just as happy to do that without the threat. What do you suggest? Should I just ignore them, or do something, and if the latter what? Thank you for your advice.

HiUser:Binksternet: I noticed you reverted my revision (reverting to the stable version) about mass rapes by Soviet soldiers following the Battle of Berlin "per talk page consensus." Could you please POINT OUT what consensus you are referring to. In fact I see no participation by you on that article or the talk page any time recently. I have been following this page for some time, and prior to my edit finished a careful reading of the protracted discussions of the last couple months, during which a single editor appears to have insisted, without gaining traction, on parity for a disfavored minority view. In any case, given your long and distinguished history with the project, do you really think it proper to revert an edit without any prior participation in the subject? My apologies in advance if I'm missing something here. Paavo273 (talk) 06:13, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
If you would be so kind as to provide full citations (hopefully with links) for some of the discussion of Targ in the press they could be used to improve the article. BTW some of the publications you are referring to as journals are magazines but they may still (most likely) be considered reliable sources. The more info you can provide the better I can format them as references, verify the content and propose paraphrased content (or evaluate proposals from others). Thanks for your research and contributions to WP. I think it is appropriate that Targ gets a fair encyclopedic article and your efforts will make that more possible. - - MrBill3 (talk) 01:29, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Bink - If I may, I'm in need of a small bit of Wiki-guru help, please. I have written an article on the Tripoli Monument, but such a page already exists as a redirect to a short paragraph of the First Barbary War. I don't know how to break a redirect. Presumably my article will become the main article, and the link will go backwards. That I do know how to do. ☺ My page is here for now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:JMOprof/sandbox thanks. user:JMOprof ©¿©¬ 19:12, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
On9 May 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Charles R. Blyth, which you recently created or substantially expanded.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Charles R. Blyth. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

The pages is broke. I was going to undo it before 55 gators last change but it won't let me go that far back. His actual argument about it's removal really doesn't stand to well on it's own. And he didn't actually much time reviewing the changes made or conversation taking place. First a blog wasn't used. I switched from the blog spot source to Chip Bertlet's website when I made my change. The use of that as a source lines up with WP:BLPSELFPUB. While the news sources you found call for an addition of information there is no reason to remove any. And well the page is broke.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 18:48, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm at a stumbling block in finding a relevent policy. On the Chip Berlet page a Editor Waalkes moved to label Berlet as a advocacy journalist and then an activist. This in itself wouldn't be much. However it seems that waalkes is a SPA. The particular change seems to tie into discussion on the Schiller Institute talk page where the same user mentions that Bertlet is an advocacy journalist. The user seems to be implying that would make him an unreliable source. It's really hard to assume good faith in this situation. Your comments in the schiller institute page lead me to believe you have come accross this apparent disruptive editing by this editor before. I'm just wondering if you think something should be done and what.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 03:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Your accusations of "vandalism" against a new user are not only erroneous, but in violation of WP:Bite. S/He is not engaged in "vandalism." Rather, s/he is unfamiliar with WP's sourcing policy. The content s/he added appears to be true; Stanhope has spoken of his friendship with Manson and seems to be collaborating with Johnny Depp on a future project. Moreover, neither of these claims are disparaging or particularly controversial. You should have taken 30 seconds to Google the claims this new user was making before hurling (ironically, unsourced) accusations. Steeletrap (talk) 20:16, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thanks for the reality check, Floquenbeam. I certainly will not template the other user anymore; instead, I will go directly to ANEW if the situation calls for it. My previous understanding—that a warning on the user's talk page was a prerequisite for a report at ANEW—is now amended. I would like to offer a 1RR self-imposed restriction on the Edward Snowden biography for six months. And for the next week, I will hold entirely to the talk page to discuss issues, as I initiated at Talk:Edward Snowden#Hathaway's analysis about airport transit lounges. This promise will remove me as an element of disruption and I can be unblocked. Binksternet (talk) 4:10 pm, Today (UTC−5)

I've opened a request for mediation. I think it could help having an impartial mediator. Please cosnider going there and signing up.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 22:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Schiller Institute". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 31 May 2014.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Hi Binksternet, the two photos on the album page were added as locations relevant to the album's promotion; one for a televised special filming and the other where a tour special was filmed. There doesn't seem to be many freely licensed photos of her available, which is why relevant location photos were added to compensate. User5482 (talk) 22:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I understand your reasoning for some edits but I think some were unnecessary, not everything you disagree with can be dismissed as 'fluff'. A free photo of a location pertaining to an artist's recording or filming is relevant, it doesn't always have to be a photo of the artist themselves. I know you'll try to revert any edits that restores them, but some are justifiable and can be placed back. For example, a photo of a black cat was included as it's the song's title and a huge part of its composition. A Grammy photo was included as it was nominated for a Grammy award which is significant, it doesn't have to be a photo of her actual Grammy to warrant inclusion. None of these are disruptive or fluff, they pertain to the article. In the 1990s article, a short sentence was added from a sourced reference, yet you said it was 'padding' (another word for fluff) although it was factual and notable to that year in music. A reference to a film was considered 'unimportant' although it had a source, while the other references there didn't. Reverting the main Jackson page because of the word "replicate" (although you said she "referenced" it instead, which was the original word used there), restoring your critical edit and calling it 'promo fluff' seems a bit controlling and unreasonable. I know this is probably unintentional, but some (not all) of your edits seem like WP:Bias. I don't want to argue or cause any edit wars, as you clearly seem to be a great contributor at times and it does get tiring. However, I don't agree with some of your reversions and I'd like to alter some reasonably without drama. User5482 (talk) 04:42, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Your ANI posting is not going well. The first seven votes were in your favor, but all but one of the last six have gone for me. This improbable shift is not coincidental. The early voters were mostly involved editors: people with good relationships with you and/or bad relationships with me. This is in contrast to the votes in my favor, which (mostly) came from uninvolved users who evaluated the evidence without prejudice.
Your claim that this is a clear-cut, "textbook" case of hounding is not credible; if it were, disinterested (uninvolved) editors wouldn't be overwhelmingly against you and an admin would have intervened by now. On the other hand, your complaints about the jokes about your nickname do have merit. But they do not rise to the level of administrator action. For these reasons, I propose that you withdraw your complaint and that we focus on finding a way to interact more effectively in the future. I am willing to make a lot of concessions to you. But I am not willing to rule out tracking or reverting your edits in the future.
In the meantime, why don't you admit to and apologize for your harassment of other users (e.g. threatening blocks because new users added unsourced but accurate song genres), as uninvolved user 98 asked you to do? You were recently blocked in response to a complaint that alleged harassment, and you seemed contrite afterwards. If you apologized and changed your behavior in this regard, my desire to follow you would dissipate. (And in any case, I would swiftly be IBanned if I were to follow you without a legitimate motive.)

Only after I replied to you I noticed you had already reverted two of my recent edits: Quadraphonic sound and Azimuth Co-ordinator, both based on the allegation that "a fansite discussion board is not a reliable source". However, the edits were based on articles published by the Sound of Stage magazine, with full reference given.
Pardon me, but the article I used as source is not a "fansite discussion board", even though the website that hosts the article has a discussion board, in addition to other content. I couldn't help noticing, however, that you didn't seem to care that Neptune's website is/has also a "fansite discussion board" when you discussed the David Gilmour edits. Why the double standards now? Please care to explain your reasons to me, as now more than ever I am considering this to be harassing behaviour. E.Goldstein (talk) 08:52, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Binksternet,
As mentioned in my earlier comment ony our talk page, please note that the sources in the "Stop Islamization of America" page do NOT use "Islamophobic". They do use "anti-Islamic" or "Anti-muslim". The change to "anti-Islamist" by DougWeller does not appear to meet consensus or the sources so I have removed that change. Changes to include "islamophobic" are NOT appropriate to the article or sources though. GrinSudan (talk) 06:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
The request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Schiller Institute, in which you were listed as a party, has been accepted by the Mediation Committee. The case will be assigned to an active mediator within two weeks, and mediation proceedings should begin shortly thereafter. Proceedings will begin at the case information page, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Schiller Institute, so please add this to your watchlist. Formal mediation is governed by the Mediation Committee and its Policy. The Policy, and especially the first two sections of the "Mediation" section, should be read if you have never participated in formal mediation. For a short guide to accepted cases, see the "Accepted requests" section of the Guide to formal mediation. You may also want to familiarise yourself with the internal Procedures of the Committee.
As mediation proceedings begin, be aware that formal mediation can only be successful if every participant approaches discussion in a professional and civil way, and is completely prepared to compromise. Please contact the Committee if anything is unclear.

Thank you; both had problem uploads with Commons and I don't have the "wikipedia" viewpoint anymore, so I ask you and several other editors for opinions when confused. The Hanna fellow hasn't a solid 3rd party non-press release article other than in a blog; my major concern with him was all his uploads of other people's photos to illustrate his page.

Dear Binksternet, I extremely agree with you!
I'm only 18 years old and I believe that I'm still so new and amateur here. I'm just so obsessed with the article of Iran, because I believe my country and people are under so many covers that the people like Qizilbash have created. I've tried to improve the page of Iran, and I've tried to include more information to improve the sections about the culture and history, in order to show the truth, and show the events that have happened and are still happening, but now I suddenly felt really weak in front of the astonishing bigotry of this person.

Hi Binksternet, (I think we may have met at the Berkeley Edit-a-thon in April.) I've drafted an article on the Book Club of California--see Draft:Book Club of California. I can't prove its notability through online secondary sources, but its publications are certainly referenced a lot, and I think the fact that it's been in existence over 100 years is notable in itself. Can you upgrade it from draft status? (I know I could have created it directly in the first place, but I feel new enough that I should go through channels.) HarZim (talk) 22:17, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
You restored a modified page claiming that my modification was not neutral. I will show here that your restoring was a lot less neutral. First, you had a copy of the previous version, so I suppose you had a connection with it. Second, my change consisted in removing a non-pertinent add (a comment) in favor of Wright broders, as if it were a competition. The page is about Vuia, not Wright and we are here to document, not to compete. It is obvious to everybody that the -limited- accomplishment of Vuia is not in the favor of the opinion that first fully-autonomous flight was made by Wright. Any non-certified argument (mainly addressing others, previous to Wright) is used, though it "damages" Wrights exploit, too. But since that was not Wright's page, it has a limited effect. I explained the change in the talk section but since you asked I'll repeat here.
I cancelled "At the time Europe was aware but skeptical of the efforts of the Wright brothers who on December 17, 1903, had flown their Wright Flyer from level ground using a rail only to guide the wheeled truck that their Flyer rested on until take off was achieved. The Wrights had made sustained and controlled flights in a complete circuit by September 1904".
The insert refers to some collective "Europe" lack of precise knwledge (unlike "America"?). What "Europe" has to do with? Journal editors knew about Wright brothers. And many others in Europe, we don't count here population info. Then, it starts to speak about Wright brothers just to contradict -though impossible, because of evidence- the previous reference to take off helpers. We are not speaking about them in this article, let the people read the original one on Wright and decide. Moreover, it is self-controversial: the rail mentioned by the previous phrase is aknowledged, while "only to guide the wheeled truck" indicates that part of the take-off mechanism (the truck) was not lifted in air with the plane, which had a sled as landing gear and could not take off alone from a flat surface. In addition, the rail was downslope, which helped the takeoff, therefore not autonomous. So the Wright plane was as nice as you want, it just leaves behind a rail and a truck, which are a big deal of weight to carry and extra-force to take off. Nobody takes from them the merit of the first sustained and controlled flight, but it was not the first fully-autonomous one. Vuia's one was not the first sustained because it wasn't sustained at all, so nobody was perfect but let's accept the things as they are and avoid subjective competition.
The very begining of the article (he -Vuia- said that) is non-professional and tries to minimize both the result and the credibility. Ok, he said that, but there was an official demo too (few months after), which the article mentioned too far below, so some people may not read till there due to the first phrase impact. I changed it with "he aknowledged" + the reference to the second exploit, which is certified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.206.81.47 (talk) 03:17, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello! Your submission of Heather Willauer at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Well excuse me their is no reason to be so ANAL at me, since some of the other article pages I've been looking at such as Greg Weisman, Robert Zemeckis, Tim Burton etc... have a table for the list of Collaborators they collaborated, if they were able to have that list why can't Christopher Nolan?50.171.11.116 (talk) 19:07, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Bink. I am one of the owners of HELL pizza and recently made a change to the wiki page for hell pizza. I have edited the history page and updated it with the number of stores now open in New Zealand and also overseas and removed some of the other text that was incorrect and redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.93.240.133 (talk) 20:15, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
For several years now you have been obsessed with removing the phrase "democratically elected government" from the 1953 coup page. In numerous debates and RFCs it has been made clear to you that the notion that Iran's democratically elected government as overthrown by the CIA in 1953, is an academic consensus. Yet every few days you pop back up again to delete the phrase. Please cease and desist from vandalizing the coup page. Poyani (talk) 21:51, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
For some reason, a good image showing the use of the golden ratio as a proportion rule in modern architecture has been removed twice by you. Though at first you removed it under the pretence that the architect himself had nothing much to do with the page, it was once again removed after your suggestions were met.
The topic of the GR in Modern Architecture is very well discussed on the page, and after a talk with David Eppstein, it was provided strong reference backing up the image. I think it is DISGRACEFUL that you are so arrogant as to prevent people to CONTRIBUTE to the page. Your reasoning of 'original research' can only be an excuse for your large ego, since the reference I provided, being a doctoral dissertation, is the most reliable. Anyone with basic knowledge on Mid-Century modernism would know about the use of proportion rules, and if you want, I can provide many more
It's not because you don't know the facts that its untrue. Go study and stop being a child.

Dear Binksternet: Hello. I'm writing to you regarding a Mediation Committee case that you are involved in, or have some connection with, Schiller Institute.
My name is Tristessa de St Ange (talk · contribs), and I'll be your mediator for this case. It's good to meet you! I'm currently in the process of researching the content issue regarding this article (and the wider dispute) in some detail, and I hope I'll be able to assist in bringing some consensus to this editing dispute. I would like to ask all parties to bear with me while I complete this research, and am extremely grateful for your patience whilst I get things underway. I will let you know as soon as things are underway.
If you have any questions or concerns relating to the case, please do let me know. Thank you very much. Tristessa (talk) 21:21, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to wikipedia!
As you have remained active in investigating activities of Harvey Carter on en.wiki. I think we should make a WP:LTA. You know that I still remember using youtube, yahoo answer, during 2005-2011, almost every week. Harvey Carter was available at times with new sock puppets. Maybe it would be easy to say that he has misused many websites. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:33, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly. |
I'm aware that right now there's a discussion going on right now regarding voice actors and WP:ENTERTAINER, but next time, before nominating voice actors (or any "entertainer") for deletion, be sure to make a thorough search for sources, especially on American or Japanese voice actors. Happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:02, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Can you please stop removing films from the List of Paramount Pictures films? They all have corresponding articles that confirm they are being released by Paramount, I have no idea why you even keep doing it. Koala15 (talk) 16:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello! Sorry to bother you again, but would you be interested in this discussion regarding the issues on the Wagnerian rock article? If not, feel free to ignore this message. Thanks! Johnny338 (talk) 02:15, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
On23 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Heather Willauer, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Heather Willauer (pictured) is working to enable U.S. Navy warships to synthesize jet fuel from seawater? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Heather Willauer. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
I don't think that your creation of red links on 50th Space Wing and 442d Fighter Wing complies with WP:RED as your undoing of my addition of [dead link] to the previous edit states.
The pertinent criteria are "The link is broken and no longer leads to an article (perhaps because the underlying article was deleted). In such a case, the link usually needs to be removed or renamed to point to an existing article." and "Red links to personal names should be avoided."
It's not unusual for the ten year old bios of colonels to be removed from the net and I doubt there is a new article unless some of them are general officers. However, it is certainly possible that an archived version exists, which is why I undid your edit that created a red link and added the dead link template. The alternative is to remove the link altogether in this case, not to created a red link by removing the URL and leaving brackets around the name. --Lineagegeek (talk) 22:03, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
http://utpjournals.metapress.com/content/mh10111161404h76/ for example makes the point that gendered violence is defining of genocidal events. There are a number of scholars who have built on the work of Jones, so your dismissal of his work isn't really fair frankly. I posted a question at the RS noticeboard and the response was that Jones was a reliable source. What would it take to get you to reconsider your !vote in light of this kind of scholarship?--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 21:40, 28 June 2014 (UTC)
Its the Panoramic image size. I shrunk them down to 1000px. that may be more than your computer will handle. if its still too large for most, i may shrink it down more. however, the California portal has 800px images, and thats featured. thanks for the feedback. i love big images, but ease of use is important.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:43, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Per your edit, WP:BURDEN is on you to find references for what seem to be paragraphs of un-referenced materiel (labeled analysis no less), not the other way around. Again per WP:BURDEN, no consensus is needed to remove this material. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 21:45, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
