Hey!! Why did you mark my article as technical? As in, what should I add to make it less technical.. I'm working on a few diagrams (they will take me a few more days), but it's a technical subject, and I explained it in as close to layman's terms as possible, or at least tried very hard to. And when you put it into the Cell signaling category tag (thanks for that, by the way), did you get to decide what to classify it as? Or who does that? I'm really new to editing wikipedia, so I'm sorry if these are really dumb questions.. but I'm only asking because whoever labeled it labeled it as a "start," meaning it needs more references and stuff... and that's only one step about stub! there are 58 references, and all of them current and organized.. so I don't think that's very accurate.. I was just wondering who to talk to about that - not meaning to attack you in any way though. I'm glad to see my page attracted another editor :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pattimurphy (talk • contribs) 02:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- You've done a very good job for your first article. Just as a casual reader with not much knowledge of the subject, I think most people would have difficulty understanding what exactly you were referring to. It's not a huge deal though, I'd recommend simplifying the introduction. Feel free to remove the tag if you get around to it.
- I did put it in the cell signaling category, but that's just my judgement. If you can look at other similar articles and figure out what other categories apply, feel free to add them as well. As far as the "start" class on the talk page, that's just a general assessment that is used for various wikiprojects (groups of editors that collaborate together on articles of similar subjects). If it's not a stub, it gets put as a start-class until someone else can come along and review it based on that projects assessment guidelines. I wouldn't worry about that though. Anyways, welcome to Wikipedia! Falcon8765 (TALK) 02:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I was just wondering. Thank you :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pattimurphy (talk • contribs) 02:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

You deletedas massive amount of referenced text, and claimed it was "Vandalism", and then falsely accused me of vandalism. Read it before you revert. Since your accusation is false, you need to retract the vandalism warning on my talk page.Tilk Tem (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Smart Meter
Regarding the deleted quote, the activist Joshua Hart is notable -- he is arguably the most prominent advocate against smart meters. Of course the quote is biased, it is voicing an opinion mentioned nowhere else in the article. Why would you want to remove the only two sentences in the entire article that represents those opposed to smart meters? Do you want to allow only the point of view of the utility companies? Let me know your thoughts and thanks for your consideration. Meisenb6 (talk) 01:47, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not opposed to including valid criticisms in the article. However, the quote with no context in the middle of an entirely negative section wasn't neutral. If the quote can be included with the counterpoint of the medical communities' opinion (which I'm almost entirely sure will contradict the health claims) then I wouldn't be opposed to its inclusion. Likewise, other elements of criticism should be balanced with the counterpoints of the proponents of smart meters. Otherwise, it gives undue weight to the negative aspects. Falcon8765 (TALK) 01:55, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
I disagree with your opinion that the medical community firmly believes there are no harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. I think it is an area of growing awareness and concern that has reached the attention of prominent professors, journals, and newspapers. The evidence is not conclusive yet for either side of the debate. In any case, your point about writing so as to include both sides of the issue is well taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meisenb6 (talk • contribs) 20:34, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
GeForce 600 series
hello and i see you have been making some contribution to my article i had made just minutes ago and i was wondering how much actual content you are planing on adding to the article. i have encountered many users on this site who have nothing better to do than delete my posts (especial my images) or anything else to to get rid of my hard work. how exactly do many of these admins found out a new site has been created. please use your time constructively. Smokeydude(talk) 07:18, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
- Just doing new page patrolling. Right now nothing about the 600 series hardware is confirmed. It's all rumors and speculation, thus the tags on the article. Falcon8765 (TALK) 02:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I considered nominating the article for deletion, but when I did a Google search, over 1.4 milion hits come up for "ultimate dodgeball". The article needs a lot of work, but deletion may not be the right way to go. The Mark of the Beast (talk) 03:43, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, just to let you know that I have removed the speedy tag from the above article because A7 only applies to real people, individual animal(s), organizations, and web content. A newspaper is a product, and is therefore not covered. The article is clearly in a bad state, and is promotional in parts. Thanks, Quasihuman | Talk 11:03, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to disagree with you there. A newspaper can be interpreted as being a company, especially how the article is written. I've seen many similar articles be speedied for A7, as they generally are interpreted as companies. 20:17, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, I see that point of view, but it is a bit of a grey area, speedy deletion was meant for articles that unambiguously meet the criteria. As an example, The Independent is published by Independent News & Media, a publishing organisation that publishes lots of different newspapers, the article on The Independent is not about the company that publishes the newspaper, but about one of the products of that company. I hadn't considered your point of view, and seeing how it's a grey area, I will reinstate the tag to let the admins decide. Quasihuman | Talk 20:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Quranism
If you go against my edits on wikipedia, I will go against wikipedia, that is how it is. If information is governed by ignorant people, wikipedia does not represent information. My edit was in no was advertising. If you had a mind you would check the link, and see that it contains highly esoteric and correct information on Quran Alone belief. In fact probably the only one that is not sectarian on the whole page. I have experierenced idiot editers here before. Highly valuable information has got lost, and is not shared with the public due to them. You are against the whole idea of information.

Non-free rationale for File:LSRM195.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:LSRM195.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

You removed my edits regarding slow pitch softball bats which I thought was a very valid point to make since you touched on preference of "lighter" bats used in fast pitch softball.

topha3711
Hello Falcon8765,
I do not understand, I read the guidelines on external links and I thought I did everything right. The external links I edited in I thought would be very helpful because it is completely related to Shirley Temple and there isn't such further resources already available on the Wikipedia page. One of the external links for example provide an accurate and details list of the movies Shirley Temple has made in chronological order. Many people find this helpful.
I am not very good with code, but I tried my best to make it look nice, if it needs to look better will you please help me and fix it for me?
Thank you for your help,
topha3711 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Topha3711 (talk • contribs) 17:55, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hello, it was nothing personal. I generally remove most additions of external links as you can never be sure of the motivations of the editor who added it, especially when no explanation is made. However, since you have shown willingness to discuss it, feel free to make your case on Talk:Shirley Temple and you can readd it if others agree with your rationale.

The article Art Kaufman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Fails WP:BIO.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Zzarch (talk) 09:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've removed your prod as your criteria does not apply. Specifically, Art Kaufman passes WP:NCOLLATH - "Include head coaches, well-known assistant coaches, or players who have gained national media attention as an individual, not just as a player for a notable team." As a coach who has been coaching at various FBS programs for decades, it's pretty obvious that he passes. Had you read the source included, it would have demonstrated that notability. Tagging a big blob of notability tags, after I removed the prod with explanation, (the one source, refimprove, and BLP sources tags are redundant to each other) while the article is in the process of being expanded is not helpful. Falcon8765 (TALK) 11:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- It seems that everything is in order over there. In the next time, perhaps you would consider creating a userspace draft first? Zzarch (talk) 20:09, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

dibrugarh Vs Jorhat
hi falcon the content in wikipedia regarding the 2nd largest city of assam is misleading and full of information which will shock general public. the polupation mentioned under the box is of the district, but not of the city. in india a municipal coorpartion is formed when population exceeds 50000 or half million. for more information you can check it in census of india. jorhat had a population of 66000 as of 2001 and dibrugarh had 1,22,000. so dibrugarh is the 2nd largest city in assam. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sunny20rocky (talk • contribs) 10:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

April 3 tornadoes
Please wait until further information comes out (maybe 2 to 3 days) before you create an article for a tornado outbreak. If these tornadoes are mostly weak an outbreak page will not be needed. I'm not telling you not to create outbreak pages but I just think you should wait until further info comes out. Also, you added a tornado to List of United States tornadoes in April 2012 that has not yet been rated and the source you added is not considered a reliable source. A reliable source would be either the Storm Prediction Center's Storm Reports page or a National Weather Service page. I'm not trying to be mean or hateful but i'm just giving you pointers when adding tornadoes. Thanks. United States Man (talk) 21:37, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Quick Clarifications on wiki/Jhansi
Hi Falcon8765, Wanted to check on what was your rationale for the changes you made on 11/24/2010 for Jhansi wiki. You made some changes to the list under section "Hospitals", and removed bunch of entries but left some of them there? Though they are same kind of establishments and pretty much same category items. I understand you did a cleanup, but for some reason it looked biased to me. Can you please explain. Thanks!

Timeline of events
Hi Falcon8765, Would you happen to remember anything about the timeline of events surrounding this case? I was wondering how long it took from their creation of articles until someone nominated for AfD. Since the articles are gone, I can't tell. :)
It is relative to this article in The Atlantic which I think may inaccurately portray our role in it. What do you think? Cheers,

- I'm not as active with my editing as I used to be. I saw the initial articles via the reddit thread in question. Someone raised the point that the Wikipedia articles in question were recently created, so that sparked me to look into it further. A brief examination of the article history showed that they were created by meat/sockpuppets that illegitimately bypassed the articles for creation process, and they would have never been approved in a legitimate one. That being decided, I started a sockpuppetry investigation for the accounts in question, and tagged the articles for deletion. The subjects of the articles most likely existed, as the sources cited were newspaper archives, but they weren't notable as we define it.
The articles had been up for a week or so if I remember correctly, and since they were created via a bypassed AFC process, weren't subject to the same scrutiny that most new articles are. Had I been doing new page patrol (which i do frequently), I would have tagged it for deletion as not being notable. Falcon8765 (TALK) 05:54, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
- Very good catch on your part. The article is then correct since you saw something at reddit which prompted you to look further here. Good job and thank you for explaining,

Request
I ask that you please strike the personal characterization at User talk:Bobinisrael#September 2012b. —Cupco 22:23, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
- I refuse. An editor explicitly assuming bad faith, accusing other editors of conspiratorial bias, decrying how everyone that is disagreeing with him is trying to silence him, refusing to provide reliable sources for his claims, and generally lacking any semblance of civility in every single comment on that page is being argumentative and abrasive. Every single edit he has made is rant-like and attacks other contributors. If that calling someone 'argumentative and abrasive' when they are being blatantly argumentative and abrasive and urging them to actually use methods that will have their changes implemented is a personal attack, it is a very minor one. Falcon8765 (TALK) 03:29, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- If he gets in trouble, will it be his fault or the fault of experienced editors without the patience to refrain from personal attacks because they don't like that he's upset? —Cupco 05:27, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thoroughly his fault, as his behavior has remained completely unchanged despite calm, reasonable, and civil explanations by multiple editors. Someone that discusses Wikipedia's 'leftist' agenda and other conspiratorial treats probably isn't going to become a civil and respectful editor. See remarks like:
- "my contributions were silenced, as providing specific criteria that shatters the dishonest leftist narrative is derided as a "rant""
- "I am not interested in being some sort of regular Wikipedia editor,"
- "why do I need to be here to correct transparently politically-motivated omissions of crucial facts"
- "I am not hear to sanitise my delivery in order to be sensitive to the pretentious egos of Wikipedia editors who are essentially glorified internet forum dwellers"
- "some people around here are oversensitive and distressed that their echo chamber of like-minded politicisation is being disrupted by a new arrival"
- "I am unconcerned with being blocked"
- "Clearly, many Wikipedia "editors" are on the prowl to silence me because I shatter dishonest political narratives that they are committed to reinforcing"
- " I am also not obligated by any Wikipedia policy to "become a quality contributor" as you define it."
- "It is impossible to assume good faith with such individuals who prioritise the superficial over the substantial"
- "You really are terrible at reading basic English."
Regardless, I won't comment on his behavior any further. Falcon8765 (TALK) 05:29, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Tommy Tuberville
I deleted the section because it is a lie. The offense Tuberville ran is nothing like Mike Leach's offense. The fans didn't like Tuberville because he was full of excuses, lost more games than Mike Leach, and caused Texas Tech to miss a bowl game.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.236.122 (talk • contribs)
- Do you have a reliable source that states thus, or is it your own opinion and commentary? The ESPN article explicitly states what the section says and it is a reliable source. If you want to remove it, please provide a source that is reliable as described by the linked page that contradicts it. I understand where you are coming from, but you need sources to back up any claims made Falcon8765 (TALK) 04:26, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Darrin Chiaverini, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cotton Bowl (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Cannibalism. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Falcon8765 (talk) 05:36 "
I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
And as for your indignant suggestion that I "find a sandbox," I'd refer you to your own suggestion that people be respectful. I don't remember ever even looking at a page on cannibalism, let alone trying to modify it. Have a nice life...if you have one at all besides being grammarian to the stars or whatever you consider yourself to be . Mark J. Lewis

WWII
Re: my Aftermath of WWII edit. Please read the book "Soldiers of Misfortune" and reevaluate your decision to eliminate my comments. BTW, I'm a retired U.S. ARMY soldier, descended from Volga Germans from the Samara region of the former USSR. Many of my ancestors were executed or deported to either Siberia, Kzachstan or ?; therefore, my comments re: more than 50,000 POWs lost forever, on Stalin's order, into the black hole of the Soviet GULAG system are spot on in my humble opinion. The truth is neither left or right, red or blue, eagle or bear...it's NEUTRAL.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.138.75.196 (talk • contribs)

Travel Agency Post
Hello Falcon8765,
Regarding the deleted edit of mine in Travel Agency page, l think it will be inappropriate to name my edit as spam. l think the problem was the link to different page than wikipedia.com ; the wikipedia.com page of the link will be created and l will give the link inside wikipedia. This might solve the issue as l understood.

Hi, firstly I'm not planning to sue you (Redacted). As a trained lawyer I've done my checks which found that as an entity only the WMF exist and that "Wikipedia" are not an organisation in any way (Redacted).

Given that I am neutral on the matter, there was no intent to violate the neutrality of the article.

Hey Falcon,

September 22nd edit
Hi, I'm the guy who did the change on the September 22nd article. I felt it was necessary to acknowledge that Béatrice Martin is mostly known as Coeur de Pirate, her artist name. Her work with Bonjour Brumaire and Armistice is actually very minor compared to the notoriety she achieved as Coeur de Pirate (which is so strong that it actually is the name of her Wikipedia article). I looked at some other examples of artists using a pseudonym and a guy like Skrillex is listed with his artist name on the January 15 page for example. I did not touch the article though, but if her real name should stay, there should be a very clear mention that she is mostly known as Coeur de Pirate and not the girl who kinda recorded with Bonjour Brumaire and released an EP with Armistice once (a band that has been together for about a year earlier this decade but that is dead now since she made the duo with her boyfriend at the time and they broke up).

George Yeomans Pocock
Dear Falcon8765,
Thanks for your input / revision on this page. I debated how to title this article when I created it a while back. Most of the popular literature refers to Mr. Pocock's middle name as "Yeoman." He was my wife's grandfather, and his daughter (my mother-in-law) Patricia Pocock Van Mason has his birth certificate, which reads "Yeomans." She also has a transcript of an apprenticeship indenture from 1906 which uses "Yeomans." So I went with that; don't know if you can source from these kind of documents... birth certificates, etc.
Anyway, perhaps it's a nit, but an interesting discussion.

Duguin
My edit was all too neutral. The previous edit maked seem Andrey Piontkovsky was "fellow minded" to him, while he is actually a prominent collaborator with numerous American institutions not only academic ones like maths, but with Radio Free Europe, a know front of the US Department of State. So I reversed again to my version, thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.166.86.83 (talk • contribs)
- Labeling him as a 'liberal pro-american' without a reliable source describing him as such is not neutral. Falcon8765 (TALK) 20:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- Well I can relabel him in spite of this is evident from his qualifications as stated on his own page; but he is sure not a "Fellow Thinker" of conservative anti-american Duguin, but a leading, fervent opponent of his, and thus the original is much more misleading by impliying he is actually with him.
- Furthermore if you cared about "bias", let's say, "unbiasedly", you would see that the page is littered with 100% hostile reviewers describing his positions from a pro-atlanticist perspective. I'm not an eurasianist, but a latino from Argentina but the Russophobia is all too obvious in it.

Customer Equity
Hi Falcon,
I just got your message in regards to removing my external link on customer equity.
By way of background, I'm a university lecturer in marketing and metrics and my guide to Customer Lifetime Value website (which runs around 50 pages) and has been primarily written for university students. Therefore, it seems to be a good reference website for those people interested in customer equity. To quote the first line of the Wiki article "Customer equity is the total combined customer lifetime values of all of a company’s customers." Hence there is a direct connection between customer equity and CLV.
Also I have one further question. If you judged this link outside guidelines - Why did you leave the other two external links? The first appears to be a dead link and the second links to a one paragraph page on Scribd is clearly incorrect in its explanation and appears to have been written by someone without any knowledge in the area.
Many thanks,

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:37, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
