Source

I thought I added something on Heaviside to Infogalactic, but I now have received a message from "Yintan" saying he has removed my edit (to Wikipedia?) because I did not cite a source. As I wrote, my source was verbal communication from the nephew of Heaviside's best friend Searle. Therre was no secretary in the room writing down what he said to me.

@109.150.52.231: As explained on your Talkpage, Wikipedia needs reliable, published sources and I'm afraid "verbal communication from the nephew of Heaviside's best friend" doesn't count as such. And by the way, it's not a good idea to leave your email address in articles. Kind regards, Yintan  21:42, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Link

Yintan, you just removed a link I added to Steve Shirley. The link was relevant and added a deeper understanding of the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnastor (talk • contribs) 21:09, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@Jnastor: Yes, I did. Please read WP:EL. Not every link about an article's subject is wanted in the article. Kind regards, Yintan  21:19, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Scopely Edits

Yintan, you were completely in the right for removing my edits. I'm a disgruntled customer. Thank you for what you do for Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.97.214 (talk) 21:55, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

@24.225.97.214:. Thank you. :) Yintan  08:38, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Rosie Batty

material removed from lede is not mentioned anywhere in the article body itself & made this point in edit summary why therefore are you not following Wiki policy & how do you justify letting this section remain? Parksviewer (talk) 05:40, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

@Parksviewer: The lead sums up the main points of the article. The domestic abuse case referred to in the lead is explained at great length in the article. There's no reason to remove it at all. It's well sourced and it makes perfect sense to keep it there. Or, if you don't want it there, move it to the article body. Simply deleting it is no solution. By the way, which Wiki policy are you referring to, exactly? Cheers, Yintan  05:45, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Hey where is this promotional cherry picked statement included anywhere in the article body"Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said of domestic violence in Australia that it "requires a great advocate and Rosie has been able to do that in a way that I think nobody has done before." Wiki Policy saying nothing in lede please thats not already in the article bodyParksviewer (talk) 05:50, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

@Parksviewer:Ah, "promotional cherry picked statement", is that your problem with it? Because your other arguments really don't stand up. But like I said, if you don't like it in the lead feel free to move it to the article body. Yintan  05:54, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Ah, yes it is a "promotional cherry picked statement"...but can you respond to the real reason I removed it because u havent responded i removed it because I see it as violating Wiki policy.

Again & i repeat where is this promotional cherry picked statement included anywhere in the article body"Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said of domestic violence in Australia that it "requires a great advocate and Rosie has been able to do that in a way that I think nobody has done before." Wiki Policy saying nothing in lede please that is not already in the article body. so where is that bit mentioned in the article body then?Parksviewer (talk) 05:59, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

@Parksviewer:Material in the lead doesn't have to be literally mentioned in the article as well. "The lead section should briefly summarize the most important points covered in an article in such a way that it can stand on its own as a concise version of the article"(MOS:INTRO). There's your Wiki policy. Batty is known as a domestic violence campaigner and so having that quote in the lead, describing her as such, makes perfect sense. Nothing wrong with that lead. Yintan  06:10, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I read that. Thats the policy. But this is the statement Im talkin about -

"requires a great advocate and Rosie has been able to do that in a way that I think nobody has done before."

You said "Batty is known as a domestic violence campaigner" cool so where is the link? how is this consistent with what the policy says. youre arguments dont stand up to me?Parksviewer (talk) 06:16, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

@Parksviewer: You obviously like to repeat yourself. I don't. I've answered all your questions already, I'm not going to do it again. (Oh, and the link is at the end of the first sentence). Cheers, Yintan  06:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Yintan I have added a source thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaliyancool (talk • contribs) 07:59, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

How do you do it?

Just how do you manage to piss off so many trolls? I watch about a half dozen admin talk pages and all of them put together get maybe 10% of the crap that you do. If I was any good at coding I would make you a custom "Angering the Trolls" barnstar. Sario528 (talk) 18:27, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

@Sario528:Reverting their vandalism, mainly. Trolls and vandals are very bad losers, hence the shouting and the threats. Not that it bothers me. My userpage needs citations. Nice barnstar idea, by the way. Yintan  20:49, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Douglas Corrigan

If you're going to roll back my edit, you should probably learn how to do math. The inflation calculator is wrong by roughly 340% since 1925. The figure it calculates would be roughly correct for inflation since 1975. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.248.2.163 (talk) 11:59, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Tagging conflict

Heh, I was just composing an AfD rationale, using Twinkle, as you speedy tagged Akansh Malik - Twinkle went ahead and created the AfD despite the speedy tag. I was not sure an A7 would be accepted as there is a (very minor) claim to significance (hence my AfD) but the person is clearly not notable, so if the article is speedy deleted that will save some time. Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 10:49, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

@Bonadea: That's something for the Twinkle developers to work on :-) That minor claim to fame, "Book was awarded as Best Debut Novel by Lit-O-Fest, Mumbai", isn't backed up by the cited source, by the way... Yintan  10:53, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Warning

Hey Yintan, why are you giving me a, how can i say, warning in my talk page ? What kind of Vandalism i did ? I'm politely asking you a question, if you can answer me this question with the same education that I asked you this question, I'll be very grateful, besides that I can improve my contribution or editions, if you think that's not good, thank you very much, regards from Nerd1853 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerd1853 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

@Nerd1853: You blanked my Talkpage. And please stop adding unsourced content, by the way. Yintan  07:43, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Re. recent alteration

	Re. recent alteration
	Hello, Yintan, You're right to sense a degree of reluctance or non-constructiveness there. I nearly didn't bother at all, seeing that while I love the song, I loathed the film, which put me off Mr.Taranteeny (aka "geekyman")'s output altogether. Regards, David. Camauram (talk) 10:58, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

@Camauram: Got it. Now, how often do I have to polish this thing? Cheers, Yintan  14:13, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tag

I've added more information to the article that I've created and the notability criteria should be fulfilled. Could you please remove the speedy deletion tag? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indigodenim (talk • contribs) 17:58, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

@Indigodenim: As far as I can find she only played minor roles and doesn't meet the notability criteria (yet). Cheers, Yintan  18:53, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks,

I appreciate that you came to my defense on my talk page in regards to the editor who gave me a that warning. I appreciated that kind gesture. Thanks, Garagepunk66 (talk) 05:33, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

My pleasure. Yintan  07:52, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

David Hamilton

Hello Yintan, Please, read this in French language, if you can : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hamilton#cite_note-56. This is a great scandal in France. English-speaking readers have to be aware, I think. Regards, Gabuzomeuh (talk) 07:07, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Gabuzomeuh: I know it's a scandal but 1, so far nothing has been proven and 2, being accused of rape is not an achievement or a professional field. That's why I've undone your edits. Regards, Yintan  07:09, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Four women have made testimony. This is a crime and offence.Gabuzomeuh (talk) 07:16, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Gabuzomeuh: Yes, but he's innocent until proven guilty, Gabuzomeuh. That's how it works. Accusations are not the same as criminal facts. Yintan  07:29, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks very much!

Appreciate the barnstar. Yes, my first, making it all the more welcome. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 20:10, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Figureofnine: In that case it was long overdue. Yintan  20:17, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

Workman

Yintan, thanks very much for your civility regarding my (Angela Workman) page. I admit having blundered my way onto Wikipedia but am astonished at the nasty self-importance of some of the editors (and the act by one of them, of defending his right to post a really awful review of one of my films -- the only review posted, glaring and humiliating -- felt cruel and retaliatory). I'd guess that most of the world doesn't know a thing about how to use Wikipedia properly. They made me feel very foolish. I appreciate your kindness. If the page remains, once The Zookeeper's Wife comes out maybe I'll take up your offer of help, to add the press that starts showing up online (which will start soon). Thanks again. (AW) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beauty111 (talk • contribs) 04:54, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@Beauty111: My pleasure. Starting on Wikipedia can be confusing, there are a lot of guidelines. Now, the page will most likely be deleted. If you want to add it again after the Zookeeper comes out, I suggest to keep a copy of it in your sandbox. Should save you some re-writing at the time. As far as linking to that negative review is concerned, that's normal. It's a reliable source and the film wasn't a resounding success, so that's just something you'll have to except. Kind regards, Yintan  07:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

PS: Please sign your posts. Just type four tildes ~~~~ and they'll be converted to a time stamped signature when you save the message. Yintan  07:17, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I will thank you. As for the negative review, I accepted that a long time ago, it comes with the work I do. The issue, as I saw it, is that an editor posted the nastiest quote directly onto my page (with no other reviews for balance), not just a citation. There were reviews that better defined my role in that film, particularly in the Los Angeles Times (a notable source, I believe!) but that was edited out. (This is a fact: I was the original writer, I adapted the historical aspects directly from the book, and then other writers were hired to add modern 'layers' to the screenplay (in the words of the Times). I knew it wouldn't work, and it didn't. I had quit the film entirely by that point.) When a screenwriter's name is listed first in the credits, it indicates who wrote the original adaptation. My name is first in the credits, which are determined and arbitrated by our union, the Writers Guild, and not by us, and not by the producers. When editors are unfamiliar with a subject, these entries can be really fouled up, or slanted negatively. We, as living people, have to be able to defend our own lives. Anyway, I appreciate the dialogue, will consider your sandbox suggestion, and thanks again.

St. Andrew's Day Vandal

All the vandalism is strikingly similar (I guess in general that's the case) what are your thoughts on whether or not the three users vandalizing repeatedly might be sock puppets? Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 15:02, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@Chrissymad: Could be. Or kids in the same 'Computer Science' class room. Filing a report (with Checkuser option) might be worth your trouble. Maybe more accounts will show up. Yintan  15:05, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@Chrissymad: By the way, I've seen you reverting vandalism but you never seem to issue warnings. Why not? (If I may ask) Yintan  15:34, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I try to welcome if it's a single instance (or not obvious vandalism) but will warn when it's obvious - vulgarity, etc... I try not to double up on same instance of vandalism if another user has already warned as well. Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 15:37, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@Chrissymad:I see. Thing is, some admins won't block a vandal before he/she is 'properly' warned or has been through the level 1-2-3-4 warnings. So my view is "The sooner I warn, the sooner the block". Oh well, to each his own . Yintan  15:42, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I think it's also a bit of laziness on my part sometimes too. I get speedy with the vandal reverts but will make a point of it now! Thanks! Chrissymad ❯❯❯ Talk 15:49, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Ohio State University shooting

You made a mistake of removing the shooting incident. There is an active shooter on the loose and eight people were taken to nearby hospitals. http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/28/us/ohio-state-university-active-shooter/index.html https://twitter.com/OSU_EMFP/status/803261064162856961 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.239.13.147 (talk) 16:22, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@12.239.13.147: As my message on your Talkpage said, you didn't provide a source. It's pointless putting them here, put them in the article. Yintan  16:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
