Someone got mistaken for being you on deWiki: de:/Wikipedia:Vandalismusmeldung/Archiv/2014/05/24#Benutzer:Denniss_aka_en:User:Dennis_Bratland_.28erl..29, and the whole thing backfired in a couple of blocks. I also found the following two LTA pages: de:Benutzer:Jack User/GLGerman und seine Reinkarnationen and de:Benutzer:Seewolf/Liste_der_Schurken_im_Wikipedia-Universum#GLG_.2F_GLGerman.28n.29 obviously the user has a long history of socking not only here but also on deWiki. I will ask both to also have a look at our casepage maybe they can give as an idea for a rangeblock. Agathoclea ( talk) 20:04, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, please see that. it is NOT an excuse for edit warring. the page is going nowhere, so per the BRD cycle your BOLD, and valid edit, was reverted. so please discuss and gain consensus before insisting on YOUR version as the right one. That is the point of BRD, to prevent edit warring along the lines of the BRD crycle. I don't see where you have consensus for the changed version...that's why we maintain the status qupo to prevent wars until consensus is brought oforth Lihaas ( talk) 11:55, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Not sure what copyright material you refer to when edited the MSF page. The only added material from MSF, which I represent. An overview of a research project and a curriculum? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Gladden ( talk • contribs) 04:24, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
But should you? No. Because Neutral point of view is one of Wikipedia's core policies. Press releases are not neutral. They tout their wares with peacock phrases like "landmark research initiative" and "world's first" and so on. This is self-serving, and is called a self-published source in Wikipedia terminology. If it is true that this is a landmark, first-ever initiative, then you should have no trouble finding a reliable independent source who says so with no conflict of interest. That's who you should cite for such statements, and the prose should be original, not copied from anywhere, and it should have a neutral tone.
I'm not trying to beat you up -- we appreciate your contributions. But it's very difficult to edit anything where you have a conflict of interest. You have to force yourself to think like somebody you're not. It's much easier to avoid articles like the one about your own organization, and contribute to other articles where you have some distance and objectivity. There are many motorcycling-related articles that we would love to have help on from someone like you. If you wish to continue to edit the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, I'd suggest you go to Talk:Motorcycle Safety Foundation and make suggestions there, and then let uninvolved editors make the direct changes to the article. That helps to overcome any challenges from personal bias. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 04:54, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Okay, I understand the point about the less than neutral tone in the text regarding the MSF 100 Naturalistic Study. That can be edited to be straight forward stats, apart from the press release text.
What about the list of curriculum? Is there another format for listing the RiderCourses, iTunes content and iTunes U content? Don't understand why that was removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.3.20.236 ( talk) 16:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

You were right to remove it. It comes from yet-to-be published material from her novel. User:Dylanedit — Preceding undated comment added 03:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Carburetor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Edward Butler. 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.

WP:ECHO tells me that you've mentioned me in this diff. But I think ECHO is wrong here...? Should we report an error? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

13:49, 12 August 2014 (UTC)Hello. I am somewhat 'dismayed' that you have removed my Wild One/Red Dwarf reference again.
I do not agree with you that the YouTube channel of the BBC, one of the world's largest broadcasters, constitutes a fansite. Or that the *official* website, run by the programme's producers, Grant Naylor Productions, constitutes another.
Neither do I consider a link to a video clip where you can actually *watch* the clip and see the conversation played out first hand is an unreliable source.
I will now re-add the link, again.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianm358 ( talk • contribs) 17:50, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
You will be pleased to know that I have amended the reference in line with your suggestion on the Wild One talk page. I have also added a citation needed reference to a totally uncited entry that seems to have missed your attention. ( talk) 21:43, 5 August 2014 (BST)

You're welcome. Thought maybe I could spice things up a bit, so I googled around and added some proper citations. Only thing missing is a public domain picture of the subject. Blake Gripling ( talk) 05:46, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Your reversion (of my reversion of somebody else's reversion)...made the article worse. I explain why in the first section of the talk page ( /info/en/?search=Talk:Rent_regulation ). My edit summary was perhaps too terse before. By "the truth" I meant what is verifiable based on sources listed, and it doesn't matter WHICH reference you use as they BOTH verify the same result - that the economic consensus view as of the 1990s was - still - that rent control is on-net harmful.
"THE view developed among American economists in the 1990s..." is frankly an indefensible claim, and certainly not verified by either reference given. "A view developed among SOME American economists in the 1990s..." is defensible based on the reference to Arnott. Does that make sense? Blogjack ( talk) 23:46, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Snell Memorial Foundation logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you want a good "only the essentials" version, Duopoly_(broadcasting)#Virtual_duopolies breaks down the essentials better. This LMA stuff has been a very touchy controversy lately, and an attempt to avoid them whenever possible is simply causing outright carnage on Birmingham right now.

Thanks for catching the infobox going missing. I was trying to revert a spate of vandals that kept hitting and apparently didn't realize the infobox had disappeared. All best. -- Man way 20:41, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks very much for notifying me personally about your reversion to the KTM talk page. I'm doing my best to research talk page edits as you ,essaged me. I've asked a question here to hopefully get me, and others squared away with regard to modifying talk pages when they just plain suck.
I'd also love to get your opinion on the specific section on the KTM talk page called Talk:KTM#KTM_ownership - from my point of view, it's completely irrelevant and has absolutely no place on Wikipedia. It's closer to a YouTube comment rant than anything else I can think of. That was the focus of my edit, but I probably got a little overzealous in trying to clean it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudopeople ( talk • contribs) 20:21, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
