MAP OF THE STATES OF SOMALIA

As the article clearly states the federal government of Somalia have no jurisdiction over the Republic of Somaliland so why do you insist of replacing my accurate map with the misleading one? Reverting my map with your false information to fit the agenda you’re pushing on behalf of Somalia is a clear violation of everyone’s right to accurate information JohnDOE73388 (talk) 15:14, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

@JohnDOE73388: You need to clearly state your reasoning in an wp:Edit summary. I'm not interested in spending time researching what you can easily add in the ES. Adakiko (talk) 15:17, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

I have added a summary several times and yet you continue to revert my edits. If you continue to do so I will have no choice but to report your account for gross negligence. spreading false information under the pretence — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnDOE73388 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)

Bro, I'm fixing Pashtun article and you're messing it up. Those citations are dead and to defunct news paper, and the information (7 million Pashtuns) plainly conflicts with other reports.

"ANP leader Shahi Syed has laid claim to four million Pakhtuns in Karachi. Does he include all the three categories?" https://tribune.com.pk/story/43827/the-pakhtun-in-karachi In such situation we just omit the 7 million.

Australian cricket team against Pakistan in the UAE in 2009

I have made significant removals to this article to remove the supposed 6th and 7th ODIs and the 2nd to 5th T20Is. These matches did not exist, even in any planned form. They were added malevolently by User:115.96.197.111 on 3 August 2022. User:203.212.244.144 removed these changes on 5 August, but User:General Ization reverted this removal the same day. User:115.96.128.116 removed the changes on 17 August 2022, but User:Adakiko reverted this removal the same day.

There was no 6th & 7th ODI or 2nd to 5th T20Is. They should never had been added. As evidence of their non−existence I adduce Cricket Archive and Cricinfo.FieldOfWheat (talk) 20:48, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@FieldOfWheat: Several things do not add up here. First of all, 15.96.197.111 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) has made no edits on Wikipedia. Perhaps you meant 115.96.197.111 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Secondly, nearly all, if not all, of the edits by 203.212.244.144 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) were very clearly vandalism, though I suppose it is possible they made a handful of constructive edits before going on a vandalism spree. If so, those constructive edits were probably undone in reverting the corpus of that vandal's edits. I will defer to Adakiko to explain their reversion, though 115.96.128.116 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) did not provide any explanation for their removals, and unexplained changes removals, especially by IPs, are generally reverted. I have no particular expertise with regard to cricket, so am hoping that Adakiko will have and will be in a position to validate your edits. General Ization ^Talk 21:02, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

And I see you corrected your comment to refer to 115.96.197.111 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). General Ization ^Talk 21:04, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

I corrected my comment not long after I posted it. Strange as it may be the edits by User:203.212.244.144 were constructive in between the tide of vandalism. All this aside, it is quite clear from all credible sources (if I had my 2010 Wisden to hand I'd cite that too) that there never were any 6th or 7th ODI or 2nd to 5th T20Is so all mention of them are fiction. FieldOfWheat (talk) 21:11, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

@FieldOfWheat and General Ization: I reverted 115.96.128.116's edits as I did not understand the reason for removal nor did I want to spend time researching as to why it might have been removed. The edit summary box is there for that and reasons. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 02:26, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

So, @FieldOfWheat, it seems that neither Adakiko nor I are in any position to challenge your edits, and I thank you for making them but also for letting us know why you have made them. General Ization ^Talk 03:57, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments User:Adakiko and User:General Ization I highlight it was never any criticism of you or your editing skills. FieldOfWheat (talk) 23:48, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

I beg your pardon?

You kindly left a message on my Talk page:

"That links to the German Wikipedia page. Suggest reading the documentation of that template on [[{{{1}}}]] Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:49, 30 January 2023 (UTC)"

Forgive me, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps you can clarify to what "That" refers. When you start a sentence with "That" in the manner in which you did on my Talk page, it behooves you to explain what "That" is or what it is referencing. The way you wrote it suggests that you and I were in a real-time conversation where I would have easily understood your meaning. I am sure you have an excellent point, I would just like to understand it. Thanks so much. 69.180.218.186 (talk) 22:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Red links should not exist when they link to pages that do not exist and will likely never be made. Because the German article does exist I will leave the red link. I wonder if you are German, yourself. If you are, I would like to encourage you to create the English article of the subject to which you have shown an interest and translate the German article into English. I would be happy to edit the English article when you are finished. I am unfamiliar with the people in this article, but I do hope you will create the English article for this woman's husband, if he deserves one. Let me know if I can help. All the best.

Bro stop reverting my edits on St Kilda FC season summaries. You have no clue about any of them. My edits make the page actually make sense as a season summary.

are you a robot?

editing an opinion presented as fact to reflect accurate language does not require a source way to uphold white supremacy 2601:980:4000:9C0:2875:A155:368E:9DEC (talk) 11:18, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

It would appear you are doing the same. "wikt:Enslaved" means to make a free-person a slave. Owning a slave is not enslavement. Owning a slave isn't any better. Adakiko (talk) 11:31, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

I have no dog in this fight, but I would like to point out, Adakiko, that you create work for other editors when you add content to any article because of your lack of understanding of punctuation and grammar. I write this here to use the example of what you wrote above. In ""...wikt:Enslaved" means to make a free-person a slave," hyphenating "free-person" is incorrect.

A hyphen is used as a compound modifier when the modifier comes before the word it is modifying. A compound modifier is made up of two or more words that work together to function like one adjective. For example, "it was a high-level meeting." However, you do not hyphenate when the modifier comes after the noun it modifies, as in "the meeting was of a high level."

Your grammar mistakes are not limited to hyphenation problems. Please familiarize yourself with punctuation before you edit. I suspect that English may not be your first language. In one article, you had a period in the middle of a sentence, which was something like "She married Joe Blow. in 1948 and had two children..." I find there are too many grammatical errors in your editing to think that was a typographical error. I draw your attention to this only to assist. If you would like, I could refer you to helpful websites. Just let me know if you are interested. All the best to you. MarydaleEd (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

@MarydaleEd: I added "free-person" to a Wikipedia article? Diff, please? Also, a diff for the last mention? BTW:I do wp:RCP. Very little actual content modification. Adakiko (talk) 12:24, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Adakiko, I am simply pointing out that I have found several grammatical errors in your editing and encouraging you to pay close attention to your grammar when you are editing. I have not followed behind you to check up on you, but I will if you want. I think rather than have me follow behind you in search of your errors, it would be better for you to just try to improve. I will be happy to let you know if I come across any other ones. I mean no disrespect. Just wanted to give you a heads up. All the best. MarydaleEd (talk) 01:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@MarydaleEd: Evidence, please. A {{diff}} preferably, or an article link where I made an edit that added a grammatical error. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 07:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Of course. I am happy to comply. I am working on another article right now that is taking up a lot of my time, but as soon as I am finished I give you my word I will search for the errors I found. Keep in mind that since they are in the past, it might take me a while to locate the ones I saw. Thank you for responding to my "heads up" with the same respect in which it was offered. So many times people get really defensive in these types of situations, but I have not found that at all in your responses. It speaks well for your character. All the best.🙂

@MarydaleEd: No need to go through my numerous edits. I would recommend that if you have such issues in the future with me or others that you leave a page link or a {{diff}}. Especially someone who make numerous edits. Please realize that I do very little editing. I'm a bad editor. So those grammar errors are probably someone's edit that I reverted. Please examine some of my edit history: Special:Contributions/Adakiko and you will see edit summaries that are mostly "(Reverted edits by..." - me undoing someone's problematic edit which may be vandalism, unsourced content, unexplained deletion, spam, tests, etc. followed by "‎ Message re..." which is usually a warning template. Being a rather bad editor, I don't want to (probably nobody wants me to) analyze their edit(s) and pick out the good parts or add citations (usually). Their edit is saved in the wp:page history and the editor can fix it from that. Their talk page is usually added to my watch list and the template suggests leaving a message on my talk page. You can see from some of the editing history of my talk page that there are a few unhappy customers. Some of their comments and edit summaries have been WP:REVDELed (revision deleted). Happy editing! Adakiko (talk) 02:54, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, but no mistake was made as far as misunderstanding where you edited and where you reverted. However, you are absolutely right that I should have said nothing without giving you proper evidence. Forgive me. When I saw that you wrote "...means to make a free-person a slave" I jumped on that error too quickly, thinking it was a good time to point out other grammar errors I'd found in your editing. I will search for the incidents because you deserve to have proof from someone who makes an accusation. Again, forgive me for posting without being able to back up my comment in the moment. I was wrong. I am embarrassed for making that mistake. It was bad form on my part. All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarydaleEd (talk • contribs) 03:08, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@MarydaleEd: My apology, the "evidence" is at the top of this section! How embarrassing. Yep, bad English on my part. I will strive to do better. Best wishes Adakiko (talk) 04:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Adakiko (talk), it is clear that you would like this conversation to go away, and I am happy to comply. I fear my efforts to call attention to your grammatical challenges in hopes of helping you have served to make you uncomfortable. If that is the case, I am happy to apologize. That was never my intent. You were right to ask for evidence of my assertions and I was happy to locate them, but we will just call it a day on this subject. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I hope to be able to collaborate with you on an article some day. All the best.🙂 MarydaleEd (talk) 22:19, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@MarydaleEd: You are welcome to discuss it here. I am often frustrated and tired from all the vandalism and bad edits, so my mood does swing quite a bit. I think that "free-person" was due to my uncertainty with the topic. If it had been in an article, I probably would have done some research on the grammar. Best wishes! Adakiko (talk) 22:25, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

You are truly a lovely person, Adakiko (talk). I was going to email you privately, but I don't see the option to do so on your User page. I have been a professional journalist and editor for more than 40 years. If I can ever assist you, please feel free to call on me. It would be a pleasure to work with you. All the best to you.🙂 MarydaleEd (talk) 22:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

@MarydaleEd: Thank you for your kind assessment, MarydaleEd. I hope I live up to that! I believe I have email enabled. It appears that you do not.

User talk:Faran315

Hi Adakiko,

Please take a moment to fix your signatures at User talk:Faran315. A few more seconds of effort invested in dealing with the user's questions could probably also have helped.

Faran315 doesn't seem to have made test edits, so the first warnings were expectably confusing. The first time you've mentioned verifiability concerns was in one single final warning, referring to the BLP policy as if you had previously warned them about it.

Also, as I wrote months or years before (I think via e-mail), I find your addition of "wp:" in front of every wikilink pretty unnecessary and confusing; it makes the resulting sentences harder to read. You may be interested in using the pipe trick.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:00, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Wow, now it's time for me to apologize; most of my advice was probably unnecessary and talking down. I'm impressed by your edits to User talk:Faran315 and take all the concerns voiced above back. Thank you very much for the detailed advice you have provided to them, and please let me know if they still continue making the same edits again and again. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:10, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: My apology to you! Unfortunately, I did need the sharp elbow to the ribs hint. I should have started with the BLP. Need a warning template that is customizable for multiple issues. Or just type the message into the user's talk page. I seem to have Gary Larson's fisherman's dilemma BLP, test, unexplained deletion - which template? I think the "editing tests" was due to the broken citations in the references. [1] I don't recall that about the "wp:". You likely sent it and I read it reversewise; I have been confused when the "wp:" was not visible. I'm still having issues with Faran315 who seems to be focusing on the poorly written content. No editing since. Good hearing from you again and thank you for the apology! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Heh, I once created User:ToBeFree/uw-combined-1. Sometimes, when there are actually two things I'd like to inform a user about, I do try to combine warnings of the same level. For example, I substitute {{uw-unsourced1}} and {{uw-delete1}} on the user's talk page, then edit the section and merge them to:

Hello, I'm ToBeFree. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. Also, you added or changed content, but you didn't provide a reliable source. Please include a citation for such changes. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

But of course that's not always an option. Also, when someone is disrupting really quickly, I do tend to place templates as quickly as possible and don't expect them to be read anyway. I then just want to make sure that I tried warning the stubborn editor.

Regarding the "wp:" prefix, it's not always bad to have, and I agree that a lack of it can also cause confusion. It depends on the sentence, I think.

• "Please have a look at WP:X"
• "Please have a look at the X policy"

for example, both look good to me.

• "Please have a look at the wp:X policy"

might be strange. After all, it's a matter of one's personal writing style though. There's no clear "wrong" or "right".

Yeah, I'm afraid Faran315 might still intend to make exactly the same changes again instead of discussing them at Talk:Nawaz Sharif with citations. At that point, I'd probably (partially?) block for edit warring. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Thanks for the barnstar! That makes RCP much more rewarding!

It would be nice if Huggle went over the talk page and history to generate an appropriate warning. On Huggle check boxes for the problems and it synthesizes the warning. Maybe just use an AI to do it all? Buy out a crypto mining operation and a few gigawatt nuclear power plants to operate it. Instead of clicking "revert" repeatedly, click "donate" repeatedly? Adakiko (talk) 12:55, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I'm afraid that might actually happen. All the best! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:56, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: I'll have to watch that YouTube fully. Glad I don't have any kids. I've urged others not to have kids. In 1980, I reverse engineered the Apple 2 computer. I understood what every chip on the mother board and disk controller did. I understood DOS. Now, I am computer illiterate; as is everyone else on the planet. This parody is likely soon to be reality.

The Massacre, and its lack of stills or fragments

It is well attested that nothing remains of The Massacre, no telesnaps were taken and no footage at all is known to exist. I did not believe that removing the assertion that there are "stills and/or fragments" required a citation as that itself was an unsourced statement. The statement was part of the template which a clumsy editor must have copypasted. 92.21.249.87 (talk) 02:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Scott Adams

Could you give me more detail why my edit was not constructive? I made my reasoning on why we should not put one sided political opinions on Wikipedia. It is perfectly clear that ADL has a strong political bias. I'm not gonna make and argument about whether "It's OK to be white", because if it is not clear by now, I can't help about that. However, I can point out that, if we agree with ADL, most black people are white supremacists. Just from here, one can see that ADL is a far-left (or whatever it is called) polically biased organization. With 180 degree rotation and with some exaggeration, one can write "Black Lives Mattes! is a phrase described by KKK as being associated with the black supremacist movement." Both should not be on Wikipedia.

So, if you still think that my thinking is wrong somewhere, could you please explain to me? Mstf221 (talk) 02:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mstf221: Per wp:BRD, please discuss this on talk:Scott Adams. The Guardian and Politico are considered wp:RS. It appears wp:DUE to me. Adakiko (talk) 02:55, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

@Mstf221: Your discussion goes on talk:Scott Adams, not here. As your addition was on the wrong talk page, I removed it. Adakiko (talk) 03:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice btw. Mstf221 (talk) 03:09, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Revert

I think you made a mistake, so I edited it to be more neutral and removed the blog post.
I removed the blog/news post because it made a disputed claim about the origin of the dish, which may have introduced a POV bias. I apologize for removing other sources unintentionally, but I believe that they do not provide conclusive evidence for the origin of the dish. Therefore, I suggest we use more neutral language and avoid making definitive claims about the origin of the dish.

Hello Adakiko! You sent me a message about edits to Credit Suisse, and that you've reverted them. In fact, you've reverted twice, removing the vandalism that I was removing, and the vandalism itself. The end result is the same, in effect, but I wanted to clear this up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.98.83.5 (talk) 16:14, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

He has also said this multiple times on his program. Mike Bagley is obviously in a similar boat. Only time I have heard them call west coast races is the Championship Race in Phoenix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.241.97 (talk) 07:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Rangeyeg6363

Hello Adakiko, I can assume you are an administrator because of the newsletter, right? Anyways, I saw you reverted an edit made by User:Rangeyeg6363. He vandalized Alphabet Inc. multiple times, then proceeded to ignore my warning. Could you please block them? Thanks! // 💪Benzo💪 (Send me a message!) (Here's what I've contributed.) 09:46, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

@BenzoAid: I'm not an admin. I did report Rangeyeg6363 to wp:AIV. It is usually best to start with level 1 otherwise the real admins might not block them. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:51, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Alright. Thank you for reporting and giving me advice. // 💪Benzo💪 (Send me a message!) (Here's what I've contributed.) 10:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

@BenzoAid Just a little heads up, the surefire way to find out if someone's an admin or not is to open the "Tools" menu in top right corner (near view history), click "View user groups", and then look for "Administrator" in what's listed next to "Member of:". On old Vector skin the "View user groups" button will be located at the left sidebar under "Tools" section. AP 499D25 (talk) 10:53, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reverting vandalism! This edit here, [[1]], I have seen a lot, it seems a guarantee of intentional vandalism. I think if someone edits an article to have that, it's so obviously vandalism that starting with a level 1 warning seems too slow. It's not awful but they're almost inevitably going to repeat the action several more times on that page or other pages. This isn't really a huge suggestion, I just think one should be more prone to warning with greater effect for such a repetitive (though vaguely amusing) source of devilry.

Reg: Shia view of Quran - Rollback

Neutrality is not accepting points which have no citations for ages. If there is a third person who is publishing an article as 'so and so accused shia having a different quran' and then goes on to himself call it a forgery and has no shia authoritative leader or followers make a claim that they follow or accept that forgery, and infact that third person appreciates that shias do not subscribe to such forgery. I do not think it is fair to use that source to project that shia's have a different quran. That is common sense, and that is why the changes were made. Please review your reverting the changes or share what exactly do you think is not the neutral stance in it! MohsynZ (talk) 11:28, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Advert maintenance template removed

Just a heads up that I removed a maintenance template {{advert}} from the article at Harrow School, which you placed in June 2022 [3]. I read through the article and didn't find anything too promotional; then I looked at the accumulated edits since the tag was placed [4] and saw that some promotional statements had indeed been removed. Given that, I removed the template. I will not object if you feel the template still flags a valid concern. Cheers. _signed, Willondon (talk) 14:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

edits to Grodzisk Mazowiecki–Zawiercie railway

Hello, the edit [5] doesn't really introduce any new information to the article, it merely streamlines the lead moving some less important facts and deleting repeating statements. 91.189.72.7 (talk) 21:26, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

It removed the citations. wp:citing sources Adakiko (talk) 21:27, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

the quoted sources "Portal Polska.pl, Timeline of Events". Archived from the original on 2011-10-08. Retrieved 2011-08-09. is still included further down in the article, I've removed the fact it refers to from the lead as it's too crowded there,

• the second one "Although the CMK might have allowed high-speed travel, high-speed services never started, and thus the Italian Direttissima from Rome to Florence, which opened in 1978, is generally credited to have been the first true high-speed line in Europe. (source)" isn't really useful, it's more of an offhand remark not related directly to this particular railway line
• the third one is pretty generic and not really related to the sentence it refers to,
• the fourth and fifth about promises from 2018 to increase the speed to 250 km/h by the end of 2023 refer to a statement that appears to be no longer operational "CMK: Prędkość rekordowa, ale czasy przejazdu nie"., recent media reports speak of 2025 (https://forsal.pl/transport/kolej/artykuly/8712592,szybka-kolej-pociagi-na-cmk-predkosc-250-kmh.html) but that's speculative and I don't think it should be mentioned in the article at all until the are concrete deadlines set

Your auto correction made a mistake

For article False titles of nobility, I have removed false claims, such as the English title of Lord of the manor is entitled to the Scottish title of The Much Honoured. This is completely wrong, but you have undone my correction of this false information. There is a source beside this, which links to a page about something completely different, a Scottish feudal Barony. I do not understand why you wish to retain this lie. I can only presume that you made an honest mistake or otherwise are a dishonest person. You must let accurate information appear and false information to be removed. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 10:24, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

You removed valid citations without giving a valid reason. Disagreeing with the citation is not a valid reason. Adakiko (talk) 10:25, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

No, the citation is about something completely different. That is not a disagreement. Taht is false use of a reference. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:04, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

valid reason was giving, stating that this reference is on another topic. Scottish feudal baronies are not English lordships of the manor. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:05, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Clearly you have no knowledge on thai topic and therefore should not be making edits to the page. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:06, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

Scotland and England have separate legal systems and different social customs. The title accorded to a Scottish feudal baron is NOT accorded to an English lord of the manor. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:09, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

I have just read the source and it even makes no reference whatsoever to "The Much Honoured". This proves the comment to be false. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:17, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

As a genuine English Lord of the Manor, I know I am not entitled to be called The Much Honoured based on this. The comment you are trying to keep is fraudulent. 82.129.53.90 (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
