Public Sector Transparency Board Edit

Hi Flat Out, Thanks for your message relating to the Public Sector Transparency Board article that I recently edited. The edit that I made was purely an update to the membership of the group, and did not contain any subjective information. My reference source was listed as https://www.gov.uk/government/policy-advisory-groups/134 which contains the current list of group membership. Please advise if there is anything contentious in the article for me to review, or if I have not followed protocol correctly. Best, SamRoberts21 (talk) 12:48, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

greetings mr or ms flatout, I did not write the article but rather dr. assaf shelleg the musicologist. he interviewed me on skype quite a number of times in november and december and knows quite a lot of my music. because of time pressures he asked me to put the article that i got from him in a word format into the wikipedia format which i did sincerely. this is from the wikipedia Assaf Shelleg (אסף שלג), an Israeli musicologist and pianist, is the Schusterman Visiting Assistant Professor of Musicology and Jewish Studies in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia.

IP user

This guy, who has used five IP's that I know of ((User talk:79.177.163.151, User talk:79.182.111.44, User talk:79.182.49.102, User talk:79.180.177.93, and User talk:109.65.137.240) has now begum to harass me by following me wherever I make an edit to try to cause a problem. He edited the Inland taipan page, but I discovered numerous violations including WP:POV, WP:Weasel, WP:CP, and others. So an admin protected the page, now he's angry at me and is harassing me. Commiting more violations like 3RR, he has been warned numerous times on all the different IP talk pages he uses, but to no avail. I hold two degrees that relate to the subject and he is an immature amateur (his attitude is "my snake is deadlier than yours"). I joined Wiki to expand and try to attain GA status for as many venomous snake articles as I can, so I started with the Black mamba, which after a rigorous review has achieved GA status due to my work. Now I have nominated two other articles, the forest cobra and the many-banded krait for GA status that need a lot of work. I have over 140 technical books and field guides on the subject and access to online journal articles. Look at the copyright vios I discovered that were violated by this IP user (its just a short list of the many):

• Duplicate detector
• Duplicate detector
• Duplicate detector
• Duplicator detector
• Duplicate detector

Now he is edit warring on the Snakebite page, which I have put in the majority of the work. He has made 2 reverts so far. One just minutes ago. I have rollback option, but I am not going to do anything about it. I am leaving it to the admins. Admin User:Mark_Arsten is aware of this guy and is on to him, but nothing has been done other than prevent him from editing on Inland taipan page. Two other users tried to engage him in discussion, but he is interested in his own POV.--DendroNaja (talk) 15:17, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Adding an external link to the Java section of the Expect article

Hello,

I'd like to edit the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect#Java section to add an external link to yet another open source library that implements the described functionality. The section already contains links to three other alternatives. Just want to self-promote my own version which, I believe, is quite competitive.

article marked for deletion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Devcoin

Hi. I'm replying to your post in the link above. I asked for some advice in the teahouse which I think relates to your point. I'm a little confused as the requirement for notability seems to run counter to that of no self-promotion (i.e. taking a more humble approach to publicity makes being able to write a neutral article about an important global project impossible?).Weisoq (talk) 23:27, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Weisoq and thanks for your message. For a company to be notable, it needs to be the subject of significant coverage by independent, secondary and reliable sources WP:CORP WP:RS. Using the company website for a reference is a primary source, its not independent therefore it can't be used to support most content.Devcoin, while it may be a worthwhile project, is not yet notable because it hasn't attracted widespread coverage, see WP:TOOSOON

Self-promotion is a separate problem, where someone connected to the company seeks to promote that company WP:NOPROMO. . I hope this helps Flat Out let's discuss it 23:33, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

So that would amount to major outlet news and/or relevant periodical articles? Devcoin is open source itself, the code is listed and verifiable, it's on multiple exchanges contributing to other projects. That creates another problem where it's not really in the interest of many 'reliable' sources to headline an open source project that is trying to build a wider open source infrastructure and community. The entire point of the project is to have natural growth through real interest and adoption, and not try to build a mass-marketing enterprise for notability's sake.

Weisoq, There are plenty of open source projects that have received widespread coverage. Flat Out let's discuss it 23:55, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

I've spent a long time writing and editing a page I thought was ok. Could you tell me how long before it's deleted or if there is anything I'm missing as to what I could change/remove to better fit wiki requirements? ThanksWeisoq (talk) 23:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Weisoq, The article will likely be deleted in the next few days by an admin who closes the AfD discussion. You can't save an article that doesn't meet notability guidelines. Read this, it says it all Flat Out let's discuss it 23:55, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your help. I've received a 'conflict of interest' message. Could you clarify that decision is on the basis of previous discussion rather than a non-neutral submission (I was editing an already soon to be deleted article in the hope it wouldn't be). This would help a lot for future reference. RegardsWeisoq (talk) 00:07, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

If you are completely independent of Devcoin, then ignore the message.Flat Out let's discuss it 00:10, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Fair point, although was with the best of intentions and I thought objective in the wider context. Regardless, perhaps to be revisited in the future. RegardsWeisoq (talk) 00:55, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikilinking

Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia.

I noticed an article you worked on. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:

• dates
• years
• commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
• common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

This even applies for infoboxes, too.

Thanks and my best wishes.

Hi - re Lightning Process

Hi,Firstly, great shot of your les paul on your home page:) I'm the guy who designed the Lightning Process (LP) - but I'm not very familiar with wikipedia so would appreciate so help/ guidance in improving the content of the wiki page on the LP. Some of it is great but some of it is quite biased and inaccurate- that isn't surprising as there's been a smear campaign (even resulting in death threats against the medical research team leading the RCT into the LP) going on against it for some time now. Looking at the history there seems to have been a lot of edits that have been overturned and then re instated. Would you be interested in discussing what is factually accurate and what isn't and what has been included in an attempt to smear - so we can get it to be a decent authoritative reference piece? Look forward to hearing from you. Phil Researchpsyc (talk) 08:59, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) @LudoVicar: All you have to do is put the relevant information from the publication (name of newspaper, date, page number, etc.) inside ref tags. We do have citation templates like {{Cite news}} and {{Cite book}} that have fields for you to fill in. Paste in the template, add information about the source that way. A great many sources are not available online and we couldn't write without them. WP:CITE is our guidance on citing sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 07:06, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Flat Out - I tried to do objective edits and was met by a barrage of abuse and bulk reverts so have given up but suggest, as you seem to be an honest and uninvolved editor, that you take a peek at King's talk page for my comments. It strikes me that Wikipedia is like Chinese whispers - the facts get subtly changed as they are passed along. I don't accuse anyone of having a malicious agenda or being a sock puppet (lovely words) - I think it's human nature to turn ordinary people into saints or sinners. Since all my 21 edits were bulk reverted - some simply correcting spelling - and I faced being blocked for changing them back, I've decided to end my very short editing career (I've only tried a few times). Also I have to say, my archive is a pile of old print magazines and - as mentioned above - I really cannot scan pages. But I suspect the remaining honest editors who care about accuracy will eventually take back the high ground. Best wishes and thank you for your good manners (sadly absent from other editors - some of whom, I notice, have also been accused of being sock puppets!) LudoVicar (talk) 07:24, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

petesmith2013, I stubified the article because it was largely unsourced, not neutral in its wording, was promotional in tone and did not meet WP:BLP. The blog I referenced is written by the author and is reliable because it supports the claim that the the subject of the article uses the title psychologist, and the BMJ article supports the claim that her qualifications do not meet the standard for use of that title.

Emma Kenny

Hi flat out.

Hope you are well. Im sorry for getting off on the wrong foot with you. im quite new to this (not an excuse really)

Im just concerned about Emma Kennys page you see. I understand where you are coming from regarding what you have included. Im just trying to get the real facts up that show her BACP register nu,br etc, This etitles her to practice as a psychologist in the UK . She has a Masters in counselling plus a degree and an Advanced diploma is psycholgy too so it makes the article that you have sourced unreliable . I must apologise again for ranting before. I just dont want to cause Emma Kenny any harm and i am as this is affecting her family. It is me that put this page up , not her and to have untrue facts can damage a life of someone who just helps people. this is all im trying to do. can you advise me in what i would need to put up which is ok ?

Hi ,

Thanks for responding. really appreciate it. Im dont work for Emma and ive done this page as i just wanted to be helpful. having a wikipedia page is really useful for people when they need to help people in life. How can i possibly work out with you how to remove the biog that says she doesnt have the quals to practice. The BACP register is an government acknowledged register in the UK which enables her to practice. The term psychologist is not a protected title either.the only protected title are in the link

the BACP organisation is all that you need to practice . She is mainly a counsellor also of which she has her Masters in. here is another link which states that beong called a psychologist is not illegal

hi, i never said I wasn't involved, I do all her PA. The thing is that when I set this page up, I had no idea what to do and found you guys really helpful. I had no idea I couldn't know her? It was so she could have all her qualifications up and her HPC registration so that people could easily access her information. Last night I genuinely thought that someone had changed it as n attack? I understand now that this is far more complex than I realised. I just feel massively confused. She is legally allowed to be known as a Psychologist, practices in therapy and has all the quals to support this. At no point has she ever written that she was chartered or a Phd. You can understand that its really scary to see all the positive info removed and replaced by things based on one article that has been complained about. I guess I just want the page deleted as I don't want her to have this negative page associated with her as she doesn't deserve it. Please understand that this is unfair and that the least that should happen in the page should be deleted. Thanks

What makes you think that stating facts and listing someone's world records is grandstanding, self-promoting, or anything other than the truth? Before passing judgement on me or Record Holders Republic why don't you visit the site. It's been up for over 10 years and has aired over 20 TV shows in which world records are set or broken. You obviously have an agenda and I'm curious what it is and for whom you're acting as a front to discredit Roy Maloy.

Hello I am a client of Emma Kenny's and the accusation that I am guilty of 'sockpuppeting' is ridiculous. You can easily check that from my IP address and compare to anybody else who has commented in the history of Wikipedia. I can vouch for Emma's qualifications and so including a source to an article that was speculative as opposed to factual, makes no sense. Please remove that reference. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbins123 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Complaint regarding emma Kennys article

I am not editing this article in a bias way. I am basically putting facts up .You are purposefully tweaking this article to suit you. I have not removed your sources etc but added to them in accordance with Wikipedia rules. I am not sure why you intend to cary on with this. I am going to report you to the administrators board.You keep removing notable sources. Petesmith2013 (talk) 11:51, 19 January 2014 (UTC)pedros (talk)

You have violated WP:3RR and have been reported for editing warring, which you were previously warned for. Feel free to report me but watch out for the boomerang.Flat Out let's discuss it 11:54, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi , I understand this. I have no malice or personal problems with your good self. Ive just been trying to discuss with you on how to get the article factually sorted. All of the elements you included are factual and relevant as so are the ones i have sourced. All i have been trying to do is place neutral facts and information up but on one hand you have been helping me but on the other hand removing things that I have tried to prove are correct. I admire your work you do on this site as it obviously takes a lot of skill and expertise. i have never meant to come across as arguing with you as all i want to do like your good self is to have facts on the article. Sorry if i ever offended your work just trying to get the article where its neutral and factual for the subject.

Self-promotion?

Hi. I've reverted your edit to Jonathan Wild, an article I watch. Did you realize the old URL, that you reverted to, was dead? I mistakenly reverted your similar edit to Luigi del Riccio, too, but have self-reverted there and added a deadlink template instead, because it turns out the new link is dead also… Perhaps User:Rictornorton can fix it. I see you warned him for adding links to his own site, but those were replacements for pre-existing, dead, links, and it's surely better for Wikipedia to have working links. Bishonen | talk 13:36, 19 January 2014 (UTC).

Hi Bishonen, thanks for picking up my mistake. I have removed the warnings. The edits were flagged but I should have checked the previous links. Flat Out let's discuss it 22:10, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Help on repeated vandalism

Hi I am aware that you are watching the tiger vs lion page. A user called Golden Prime has just made 9 lengthy vandalizing edits - no source, pure opinions, quoting from pure fictions, or made-up statements by combining sources to imply something that the original text didn't say at all. The user can be traced to a few lion fanatic sites. Because he made too many conflicting intermediate edits some edits could not be undone. I manually changed them back to the last accepted version but based on his actions in other sites I expect he won't stop. Is there a way to semi lock the page or revert all his changes with a single click? Thanks! --BigCat82 (talk) 06:02, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

BigCat82, edit warring is not the solution to a content dispute and you have far exceeded WP:3RR which puts you at risk of a block for edit-warring. You should step aside and leave this one to other editors until the situation has settled down. Flat Out let's discuss it 06:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Got it I leave it to other editors. Note that my first series of edits to revert his actions back to the last accepted version should be considered a single revert edits according to wikipedia definition and I think I haven't violated the 3RR yet :) --BigCat82 (talk) 06:22, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

I count at least 4 reverts by you in 24 hours. You don't have to hit rollback for it to be a revert. 4, 3, 2, 1. Flat Out let's discuss it 06:27, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Got it. I only counted the edits to revert golden prime's actions and didn't know the minor edit on others made earlier are also counted. I have stopped right after you reminded me the first time but Golden Prime continued to revert to his own versions and far exceeded the 3RR. I will leave it to you and other editors to resolve thanks for your help again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigCat82 (talk • contribs) 11:07, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Tiger versus lion

Golden Prime Replying about: This people are not giving any tangible evidence in what they are claiming, they are claiming the data I provided was vandalizing...pure B.S on their claims, they are just lying and lying, I provided the root article/source for everything, via books, newspaper archives ect, which exact content has no source? Which is pure opinion? This is not a forum, this is a site that upholds factual sources...as I provided, in fact...please admins and moderators, banned them for they are sabatoging the very core ethics of this site, and what its supposed to up hold, hence the external links Jackjacksonj site, is filled with lies and trash photoshoped that has been exposed exploited and dismanteled on more than 10 websites (Redacted)

(Redacted)

I can assure you, I havent removed and replaced one thing in todays revisions that has anything to do with fiction, (you can read the content yourself if you may) but what already was in place was a pot of pure bullshit, cherry picking, lying, obscuring and twitsing facts, its beyound basics, lesser than common knowledge of what is availiable to assests, study and show a logical conclusion that all the data is being withhold from a bias nut job who has issues.

I can grab every artical that shows the 1909 fight in coney island dident have one article that specifically states the lion died and or was killed only a suggestion of 1/3 saying might, not did, or John vartys website that doesnt mention a dam thing about him saying the tiger would win every time... along with every article and source I provided has its reliable source to go by. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golden Prime (talk • contribs) 06:33, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Golden Prime, it doesn't mater if you are right or wrong you can't keep reverting an article to get your way - especially after you received a warning not to. It isn't worth the block that you are going to receive, so when you are unblocked try reading WP:CONSENSUS. Flat Out let's discuss it 06:40, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Lion vs Tiger

Long post

Hey flat out, I must apologize for the accusations I implyed specifically and only to you, not Bigcat82. And thanks for reverting it back to a more reliable and fair assement, for there is and no consenses done on that topic, on here, as Bigcat82 has only pro-data on his bias POV, who he is hypocritical to his own Guidelines. As given, he is ubscuring, cherry picking and using flawed information to suit his patheological compulsive lying issues, as his IP can be traced to over 30 websites from Blogs, to forums and Youtube of this specific subject and has even exposed himself by having over a 100 aliases talking to himself acting like others agree with him. As I in my vigilante mode, adressed his compulsive bias issues of spreading Propagnda, and his selfish, insecurity of erasing or hiding pro-lion or anything even that mentions a fair assesment/consenses where any factual content that supports the lion is erased. I have no problem excepting anything pro-tiger, but atleast allow the world to view the other half of the coin, the problem is, none of his content is reliable, his poor explaination of Guidelines is only being applied to his Bias POV and is not being upheld both ways...in any case, The guide lines should be strictly at its core Credability/Qualifications. Hence. --History-- Should only be answered by a licensed Historian, who has the highest form of education, Via Specifically Ph.D or Masters degrees...I removed his source of Romans favoring the tiger, simply because he hid the sources credability and its full content (Contradicting his own guidelines mentioned in Talk), The source is from william bridges a zoo keeper, heres the article: http://jackjacksonj.webs.com/ewtwet.jpg (Redacted) http://jackjacksonj.webs.com/tigervslionaccounts.htm I replaced his unqualified opinion, I dont know why you are insisting to use William bridges over Ken spiro who has a much higher credible stance: http://www.aish.com/authors/48865437.html But as I stated before, he has been exploited and exposed for mainly using a few real incidents and the rest are repeating the same occaisons then hiding its full details to act/pretend and lie that they are differnt occaisons by only showing a snip, cut and paste or another source thats merely stating the same account. You see, in that example? Where was his, "we need to show the whole abstract" Guideline, he cherry picks things out of his own Bias point of view in articles and books and then doesnt mention the essential things on subject, like william bridges... 1.) Doesn't have a Ph.d or Masters in history, hes just a Zoo keeper. 2.) He did in fact give his opinion on the tiger (only slight), but he doesnt have any self observation so it doesnt really mean anything, since others I have given are by self observation and basing it on actual experince. 3.) He stated the lions mane does protect the lions throat to an extant (hiding content) So in verse, it is removed from its designated catagorie of History, since it is not qualified specifically. But to also add, more hypocrisiy, (if you dont know by now) (Redacted), which I would gesture from the get go, allowing him to remain on subject is promoting a bias POV from the start, as he admited his intentions along with his prior history of 10 years cherry picking, hiding and twisting facts, and it goes beyound there, he degrades, insults and humilates a animal (the lion) by chastizing it, posting sickly stariving versions and laughing at them, goes way off topic and shows lions being killed by everything possible by humans, animals ect. You want another example of his contradicting? He stated to you in the Talk section that he offered up a source that disputes the Mane protecting factor just so you would agree to remove Clyde beatty's statement so he could then in process have a reason to hide that Clyde beatty stated he lost some 50 tigers killed by his lions, which in case 80% Individually (over the years) are backed up by numerous newspaper archives, some with even stating it was witnessed by thousands as goes it is a circus performance accident after all...but...in case, the site/source he mentions doesnt qualify scientifical or not to dispute anything... Why? Well if you read it for one, there is conflicting information upon (Opinion) that is easily comprehendable to see that the information is not provable in their case, since... A.) It was tested on manican lions, a method that doesnt offer any credability higher than discovering how a dog will attack a bear by letting him attack a stuff'd teddy bear, no live specimens = No actual testing. B.) In that same source, they offer no rejection with proof other than opinion, to dispute George B schallers claim (which is in the very same Pdf), saying he was bias is not a factual implication to prove any point. The fact is, there is substantial proof by numerous occaisons, displays video and wriiten abstracts from Observers experts, trainers, zoologist and other walks of science (on hand), I am not claiming that the lions mane is a bullet proof vest, I am applying that to an extent, even a bullet proof vest is subject to be penetrable as people have died where the bullet went through, the same thing I am specifically consenting that the mane offers a medium and base protecting factor so even if 1 or 2 acounts show a maned lion being killed by a tiger, doesnt dispute its original propertys and uses since over 10 occaions specifcally mentions, written and video shows it already did protect the lion against a tiger (specifically), as once again, Bigcat82 hid the aray of experts (Redacted), who states the lions mane offers protection: John varty. http://www.jvbigcats.co.za/ Again, Bigcat82 hid, and where on there did Varty say the tiger would win every time? No where. He just added in quotes of what he said on his video interview about the biting power and lied that Varty said every time. As so its plastered right on its first abstract from Darwins accident when a tiger ambushed a lion, and Charles Darwin stated the mane did save the lions neck from being harmed. Also the two other experts I provided...Clyde beatty and terrell Jacobs, both qualified to opinionate, since they are going off self observation upon numerous experinces, that the lions mane is a protecting factor. So in conjunction, Bigcat82 is merely cherry picking, and is subjective to bias POV while lying and hiding full abstracts at the same time contradicting his own Guide lines...as for how you adressed him...I totally agree, this is not a forum to try and refute things, there should have only the factual content of the highest credability. As I started off saying... Q="Qualifications" ---Historians--- Q. With Ph.d/Masters Specifically in History ---Physical comparisons--- Q. Including all Sub-species from Ph.D Biologist no cherry picking involved ---Accidental Fights--- Q. If it has a credible source it should not be removed, and for futher credability, the whole bio should be mentioned of both favoring the lion and tigers cuased, not just showing the whole detail of the lions story and hiding the facts of genders, ages, and conditions of the tigers to remain hidden. ---Experts Opinions--- Q. The person who is leaving an opinion, must have a verbal/writen abstract showing it is based on observation, not guesses, hypotheticals, and POV's with no experince in specifically seeing them fight, also it cannot be assumed, just because of their titles, a root source straight to the quota/statment should be verified Again, you are right, this isnt a forum, and thanks for that 1 time reverting back to the fair assement revision you did, I dont care at this point, since he wont stop his charade, I will deal with him later esle where away from this site and exploit and expose him the proper way, he can have all the fun he wants sabatoging wiki as hes been doing for years now, but we both know hes not having fun, where ever I go he has a mental break down because I speak the truth and show people what kind of person he really is, but its no biggie for now...later I'll take out the trash...

Thanks again any ways...Tootles ^_^ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.151.19 (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
