Disambiguation link notification for September 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nunley's, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Baldwin, New York. 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.

Reverting edits on page "Federal State of Novorossiya"

Hello, Epicgenius

Any mentioning of "Novorossiya" is illegal in context other than historic otherwise it breaks Ukrainian and International laws. Ukraine is a sovereign country that's why a description of any unconstitutional interference like separatism appeal or it's description is illegal!

So there are two options with this particular topic:

1. Radical content change to bring truth and law abidance on the issue of Ukrainian war while holding neutral style. 2. Delete the page altogether.

I'm choosing the 1-st option for now. If you think the second option would be more appropriate, feel free to delete the page "Federal State of Novorossiya" altogether.

WBR, Putmorg

Okay, but neither choice is under Wikipedia policy. Whatever your view is, you need to make it neutral and back it up with reliable sources. That's how a better encyclopedia, the purpose of Wikipedia, can be made. Yeah, that sounds lame. In a nutshell, you need to collaborate with other editors and not edit-war or push a slanted point of view. Epicgenius (talk) 02:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

BracketBot

Hey friend, I've noticed BracketBot seems to bug you quite regularly. Just thought I'd let you know about the syntax highlighter, which you can turn on in your preferences if you haven't already. Hope this is of help! — MusikAnimal ^talk 15:47, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

@MusikAnimal: Thanks! I didn't know about that. I'll install it now. Epicgenius (talk) 16:10, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Tesla factory edits

I reverted your edits because of a surprisingly large number of factual errors in just 4 sentences.

"The new factory will be in Carson City, Nevada..." It's in Reno

"and will only manufacture batteries for Tesla Motors' vehicles." According to who? This ignores publicized stationary storage plans: http://fortune.com/2014/07/31/tesla-panasonic-gigafactory/

"Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval estimates that Nevada would save $100 million in taxes" It's $100 billion. What "taxes saved" are you referring to? Do you mean economic impact? These are not taxes.

"There are still talks on whether to build the factory..." Legislative approval passed almost a week before you posted this.

Also, the gigafactory "auxiliary" status you suggest is simply not accurate. Maybe under "see also." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.137.242.62 (talk) 03:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Okay. I have transferred the new info to Gigafactory instead. I did not see the other sources; my apologies. Epicgenius (talk) 03:10, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Kamasutra 3D

Hey Epicgenius,

I noticed you recently reverted an edit here on Kamasutra 3D. The same IP vandal continues adding that same material back to the page as you can see here. I typically wouldn't engage in edit warring, as the edit history shows, but his edits are borderline vandalism and he should be blocked. I am coming to you seeking help to first: watchlist the page to keep an eye on it and second: to ask for your suggestion on whether or not to block this IP address. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Meatsgains (talk) 15:50, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

@Meatsgains: I'm not an admin, so I cannot block the IP user, but I can suggest that you post on the user's talk page first and tell them this is their last or only warning, using {{Uw-unsourced4}} since the user has added the content more than eight times. Next time, if the user goes over 4 reverts, it's better to warn them each time, and after the fourth revert, report them at an admin noticeboard (WP:AIV for unhelpful edits, or WP:AN3 for more contested edits). Thank you, Epicgenius (talk) 15:58, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

However, since it is an IP range, the only two options are WP:AIV rangeblock and WP:RPP semi protection. Thanks, Epicgenius (talk) 19:57, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! Meatsgains (talk) 20:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

No problem. Epicgenius (talk) 20:53, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Friendly question

Hi, You reviewed my sandbox draft of Brooklyn. I was just wondering what made you curious about my sandbox draft?OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 23:55, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

@OnBeyondZebrax: I was reviewing pages related to NYC and your page just popped up on the Related changes list (actually, I was just about to post on your page about this topic). I like the work you're doing, by the way – but I think you should consider reusing sandboxes or make a main sandbox and put all your draft changes onto that page. Anyway, keep up the good work. Best, Epicgenius (talk) 01:11, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Also, you can get the autopatrolled right for your user-space creations. Epicgenius (talk) 02:02, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I see User:DragonflySixtyseven already did that. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:10, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

For the record, the autopatrolled right applies to all pages created by a user. DS (talk) 14:37, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. I mentioned it because of OnBeyondZebrax's creations in user space, not because I assumed that his AP right will only be used for user space. – Epicgenius (talk) 16:07, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

NY Harbor School

Hi! It seems weird that you're taking out the history of the UA NY Harbor School. You're removing the college acceptances, etc. Why would you do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustynyfeathers (talk • contribs) 16:09, 26 September 2014‎ (UTC)

Such information must have a source. Besides, it is easier to mention the types of colleges, or even just say the number of colleges, instead of listing them all. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Besides, I did not remove all the history, as I removed a small section. You should speak to Nikkimaria about that, as she is the one who removed all the content you are disputing. Epicgenius (talk) 01:36, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

The stuff I removed from the history section was copied from an external source without evidence of permission. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:43, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. I was just explaining to Dustynyfeathers why their content was removed. – Epicgenius (talk) 01:46, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Guiliani

Hello,

Removing an entire section because you find a given link unpreferable is generally indicative of censorship and not in the spirit of WP. As a New Yorker, I understand you may be dismayed to find out that your former mayor and terrorism hero has openly flaunted federal laws on providing material support to terrorists, I know I was. This ultimately means that this factual news needs to be shared more, it needs to be headlined and not buried. I look forward to working with you through your criticisms to make the article on the mayor as best as possible.

Best Regards, a ferret lover 172.56.2.190 (talk) 13:18, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

I am unaware of my having made such a statement. It is not preferable because the references support a statement not directly connected to the article subject (Giuliani). – Epicgenius (talk) 13:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Which statement would that be? You removed the entire section due to a video of the guy linked on youtube, a link to a specific section on the terrorist group that vastly elaborates on their history and a series of links to WL cables which provide better context on the inner monologues of the governments position on the group than an entire array of media sources. You make no reference to a 'statement not directly connected', moreover if that was the case it would be more prudent to improve or modify the section, not remove it entirely.

172.56.2.190 (talk) 13:24, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Several other editors have raised concerns. Normally, I would not remove it, but tag it with {{Unreliable sources}}' however, the removal is due to these other editors' concerns. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Yes, largely unfounded concerns by people in NY removing the entire section based largely on flimsy arguments. You have not answered the question however, what statement was not supported by the references? Also, note my commentary here, especially the first paragraph: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Barek#edit_warring_-_Gringrich.2C_Ridge.2C_Freehan_support_of_the_PMOI.2FMEK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.2.190 (talk) 13:34, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Didn't say they were unsupported by references. I'll mention this again: The statement was on a tangent, and so were the unsupporting references.

Now, as for the matter of the disputed content, you could either notify all the users who have reverted you so far, or start a request for discussion. Otherwise, you are wasting Barek's and my time. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:44, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Edit to Kingsbridge Armory

Just as one note on this, you don't really have to lowercase wikilinked article titles that are to the left of the pipe, as they aren't visible except when rolled over anyway. Daniel Case (talk) 13:59, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I was doing that because I was using the pipe trick. Epicgenius (talk) 14:32, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
