Hi, why did you delete my page? I made a real page and did not mean to do any vandalism. This is a real delivery driver for Uber Eats.

Hi i dont know whats your Problem not every Source is from the internet first of all im by myself from Skorobiste and my sources are books and informations from the archive Historia e Shkolles Skorobishte, and Monografia Skorobište all i write is true and all those people names are ancestors of some families in skorobista, and its true that the most families are of albanian origin, qlso the facts about 1958 1966 after the world war 2 are true all those names of people who are killed are facts! so i dont understand what for source you need? and why you have to delete informations?

doesn't this qualify for a ban instead of block? UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 18:37, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you mean. If you mean Hellocat99 (talk · contribs) then my answer is block, certainly. Materialscientist (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Same answer, unfortunately. Materialscientist (talk) 00:31, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mean 209.250.175.169 and Hellocat99 are the same person? UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 00:41, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP and Hellocat99 are not the same user. The ip 209.250.175.169 operates on Oakville, Ontario. Hellocat99's IP is 135.26.120.92, which is based in Conroe, Texas. I know this because both the ip and accounts add racist, antisemitic, and homophobic slurs on multiple semi-protected pages since 8/3/23. See https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/135.26.120.92 for more information. 2603:8080:D03:89D4:5D63:1DB:6CFA:DC82 (talk) 23:53, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

could you perhaps look into what has gone on at the Enneagram of Personality page today, primarily in its History section? (Asking because in an earlier season, I was impressed by your work in various contexts.) We believe that the carte blanche reversion was too easy of a response, and threw baby out with the bath. We have no opinion on larger matters at that article—we simply found gross misuse of sources, and rampant WP:OR. We are now accused of editorialising, and of OR ourselves, which simply staggers us.

We won't further egage the reverting editor, as we see no point. But the article is not better for having been returned to its earlier state.

[To start, look for the quoted word "remedies" in the Wiltse citation (you will not find it, to aid that, here is a URL for that, which was lacking in the article), and then look to see if the citation of the "Brandon Medina" blog (actually by author = Medina, Brandon) does not point to a source that states the opposite of what the reverted article now again suggests. And the scholarly unraveling goes on from there.]

It is our view that the original edit, which was accepted by a registered editor—the article is protected, we do not know whom—should have been allowed to stand, and not reverted by a single editor objecting to the two of us. We suspect bias against us as a non-registered editor.

Surely, some editing of the product should follow. But reversion, so the errors that existed before our edit be returned—we suggest that pursuing that course was the poorest of options, for the sake of a quality article. The edits were not vandalism, were not editorial, and were not WP:OR (as claimed in the all too brief reverting edit summary). Cheers. 71.239.132.212 (talk) 05:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Sizo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:13, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Material, merry Christmas! Could you maybe do a rangeblock that covers the IPv6's at Talk:Datta dynasty? It's getting ridiculous, and I started listing the /64's that would be needed to stop it (since that is the limit of my understanding of IPv6 ranges), but gave up. Perhaps a long page-block of a much bigger range would be the best? Bishonen | tålk 04:01, 24 December 2024 (UTC).[reply]

I have blocked a short range, ping me if they resume. That region is notorious for their vast floating IP ranges. Materialscientist (talk) 14:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have been attempting to get Kencf0618 on board with our Manual of Style guidance regarding the use of dashes for 3 weeks now, and no matter how many times they tell me they're "chagrined" (1st and 2nd thread), they continue to misuse them and even replace good dashes with bad ones. I have asked nicely, asked less nicely and issued a direct warning that their continued misuse effectively constitutes vandalism (willfully editing contrary to consensus), but checking if the "sorry" in response to my final warning had meant anything useful, I found it had not. A week after first discussing this with them, and being told that they'd fix their previous errors, I regex searched for their most common pattern, and put a decent amount of time into correcting the many I found, but I was playing catch-up. I won't follow this editor around indefinitely fixing every case, so they need to be stopped, but I also recognise that this ignorance isn't blatantly malicious (they do enjoy inserting inappropriate flowery phrases here and there though, when plain English would have been obviously preferable) and they just need to be put straight by someone with some clout, since my efforts have fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully this is enough information for you to make sense of the situation, but please ask for clarification if needed. Thank you. Fred Gandt · talk · contribs 09:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yesterday you warned 2600:4809:7270:F800:B974:A7C9:5E41:9A03 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) that they would be blocked the next time they removed content. They have ignored that warning and continue to remove pronunciations, some of them obviously necessary like Gervis.

Good day Materialscientist! Back in 2021, you moved Oshana Region to Oshana, undoing a 2009 page move. I cannot find any discussion about this. I would like to undo this, as a) all other regions of Namibia end in "Region", b) its name is so defined by the Government of Namibia, and c) "Oshana" means something on its own: it is a shallow flood plain after which the region is named. Please protest if you're not happy with this move. --Pgallert (talk) 07:55, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Materialscientist, your image of curium that you have uploaded, is non free and I found these 3 images from Commons:

Is it okay if I replace the non free photo of curium with one of those 3 pictures that I found in Commons? Vitaium (talk) 09:38, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Elemental curium is a radioactive, silvery-gray metal, and the image shows some white substance. Is it curium? Probably not. Materialscientist (talk) 09:54, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the Commons description, it says it is a real picture Vitaium (talk) 09:56, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is copied from Flickr, and Flickr is not a reliable source. Uploaders can write there virtually anything. I guess it is a curium salt, and the uploader could figure out which one by looking around the place where he took the photo, or by talking to the facility staff.

Thanks for the re-upload to my user-space and for the heads-up on the image. I am looking into it, there are several pictures to view around the internet.

I came here to post a message saying "I know it was a long time ago, but why on earth did you do this? When I got here I saw the message above. Both of these are clearly cases of acting without adequate care. Heaven knows that I have done similar things myself, and worse, but over the years I have built up an impression that you do it disproportionately often, compared to most editors. It seems to me that your prodigious edit count (close to 2 million) is to a large extent achieved by hasty actions without spending the necessary time to check properly before taking action. I don't suppose I have much chance of persuading you to slow down and take more care, but perhaps you may consider it. JBW (talk) 22:35, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JBW: Materialscientist likely believed that the user was deleting content under the pretext of "removing troll content", as many unregistered and new users make their edits seem like something they are not (an example would be the "fixed typo" edit summary). Materialscientist might have figured that eventually, users will cite reliable sources that will be verified later, because the header message on the edit screen says so. Z.

In 2022 you uploaded a cover image for the Beatles' "Golden Slumbers". File:Golden Slumbers vinyl cover.jpg.

The source of the image, a discogs release (https://www.discogs.com/release/10919566-The-Beatles-Golden-Slumbers), is an unofficial release not done by Apple Records or Northern Songs which was listed in the rationale, instead by an obscure label who briefly made unofficial Beatles releases in 1986. As a result, the actual Northern Songs sheet music cover for "Golden Slumbers" was deleted. The image you uploaded should be deleted with the real Northern Songs sheet music image added back into the article’s infobox. Spinmeisters (talk) 06:33, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
