I understand the policy, but by stating "that doesn't seem neutral TO ME" you are basically stating that you have a skin in the game. Neutrality is somewhat objective and I certainly have nothing to gain by my post. Unless you can show me that The Onion is a legitimate news gathering agency, I see nothing in my post that is either bias or factually incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.141.232.112 (talk) 19:04, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

If you can cite a reliable source that states he doesnt know the difference between then the edit would be fine. However without it this would be considered original research as it is an opinion on an event. If you wished to state used The Onion as a reliable source or something similar that would be backed up by the reference. Amortias (T)(C) 19:07, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Your complaints seem awfully subjective to me. There is nothing pejorative about stating that someone doesn't know the difference between one thing and another... That is you inserting your own mental inflection onto the statement. Your should probably step back and look a little harder at the definition of the words you are using.

Minimonstertruck speedy deletion

Hello, I noticed you recommended a speedy deletion for my article on minimonstertruck Mini Monster Truck Go Kart. I have redone the article and made it void of any business references. I have included this text after my signature. If this modification is not acceptable, please provide me with recommended modifications.

MQ

Minimonstertruck Is a true 1/3 scale monster truck go kart that was created in 2004 by Scott Deuty. The truck tows a series of cars known as a barrel train. The entire arrangement is also known as a trackless train as it does not require a track in order to operate. Minimonster truck appears at children’s events as well as in parades and for promotional purposes. The main business for minimonster truck is providing rides for children at birthday parties. Whereas full sized monster trucks will appear for costs of thousands of dollars, minimonster truck requires much less cost and can operate in a smaller area. Minimonster truck is also available as a mobile or stationary sign, trade show prop, and for video shoots and commercials. Minimonster truck started from a fiberglass body off of a design by the now defunct go kart company funkart.com. When he saw the body, Scott thought it would make a neat toy for his sons. He convinced the owner to sell the body to him. The body was originally black and had a Texaco symbol on it. The original drive train for minimonster truck came from a product made by Carter Brothers. Scott found a complete chassis on ebay in Indiana. Three months later it arrived in Arizona. The original drive train had a 5 HP Briggs and Stratton engine combined with a go kart style belt and chain arrangement that powered a solid axle driven by a large sprocket. The engine was upgraded to a 6.5 HP design. The drive train design was poor but adequate for its intended use of entertaining his sons. The new design for the monster truck drive train is based on a SmithCo lawn rake. This modification improved on the maneuverability and braking of the vehicle as well as the horsepower which is now rated at 11 HP. Minimonster truck has appeared at events all over the country including California, Arizona, and Colorado. This vehicle has performed in arenas such as the Ventura County Fairgrounds in Ventura, California and the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland Colorado for Checkered Flag Productions. Minimonstertruck has cruised the quarter mile at Firebird Raceway in Chandler, Arizona. Recently, minimonstertruck appeared in the Centennial Colorado Memorial Day parade as well as the Evergreen, Colorado Rodeo parade. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MQ9RQ1 (talk • contribs) 20:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi MQ9RQ1.
The article does look better though I would be tempted to submit it via the articles for creation process as this will allow other experienced editors to review and make suggestions on what may need changing to meet the criteria for inclusion. This can take a little while than diving in but it also improves the chance of the article being suitable for inclusion. Amortias (T)(C) 20:30, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

The Punch Tavern editing issue

Dear Amortias, as you have noticed, I have tried to edit The Punch Tavern page which is not updated with new photos and also accurate informations such as Gin Palace and Pie shop but it has been denied and set as it was before. Can I send you all the informations via email? So that you can check and approve.

Kind regards,

Alex — Preceding unsigned comment added by Punchtavern05 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Alex, the appropriate place for the changes would be to request them at the talk page of the article. The username you are using makes it appear that you may have a conflict of interest with regards to the establishment.
The best thing to do would be to go to the talk page create a new section. Give the section an appropriate title and start the text box section with {{requested edit}}, follow this with the changes you would like to make in an X to Y format. This will allow uninvolved editors to make an appraisal of your request, make any changs that are appropriate and come back to you if clarification is needed. Amortias (T)(C) 17:32, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
I've moved the request to the appropriate place here. Feel free to work on it there. Amortias (T)(C) 17:49, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

You posted the edit request on my talk page rather than that of the article. Please see my comment before this one to track it down. Amortias (T)(C) 17:56, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

IP bans

IP bans may be the silliest idea ever. IP's are very rarely static and most will change as soon as one power-cycles their router. Much love. - Troy

Please double check the edits I made, they are not spams, please undo the deletion.

Dear Amortias,

I am user VictorAzure. I received a spam warning from you and now most of my edits of the external link sections are deleted. The reason why I entered all those urls in one day is because I am working for teaching cleveland as a summer job. those urls were from this organization, a non-profit educational organization. Please undo your deletion on my edits. It was all my hard work and I put a lot of effort in it.

You didn't say why the edits shouldn't be considered link spam. I understand it was a lot of work, and that the entity being promoted is educational and non-profit. But that doesn't mean it's not link spam. It looks like your primary goal was to promote the web site, and any thought to improve Wikipedia was non-existent or an afterthought. That's just not what Wikipedia is for. Willondon (talk) 16:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand. This organization is trying to let people understand history better. I do not see why it is spam by providing users more readings and researches. I enjoy wikipedia very much as a place where I can gain knowledge, and all I am doing is proving others to gain more knowledge. Please Please consider undoing your deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VictorAzure (talk • contribs) 16:58, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

External links need to be for a specific purpose and not be promotional or with the appearance of advertising. One of our fellow editors has posted some helpful advice on your talk page that would be worth reviewing. When you have revised this then you can consider which I any of the links should be added.
