Ralph Katz edit

I am a native English speaker and was correcting two grammatical errors. "she" is correct, instead of "her." It is a subject pronoun, and "are former" is correct instead of "were former." They NOW are former champs. It's basic English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.174.88 (talk) 12:15, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

How do i delete my page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbhishekBagul (talkcontribs) 12:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Only administrators can delete pages. If you remove everything from it I can then mark it as requested for deletion by author. Amortias (T)(C) 12:14, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Can you edit it for me in such mannner that it wont get removed from wikipedia? OR i want to delete it all :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbhishekBagul (talkcontribs) 12:17, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I can move it to a Draft article this will allow you to work on it and then ask someone to review it before its published so they can advise on what needs adding, removing or rewording before it meets the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia. It appears a reasonable start it just neds a bit more work before its ready to be published. If you want me to mvoe it let me know and I'll get it done. Amortias (T)(C) 12:21, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Amortias, please convert it to draft :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbhishekBagul (talkcontribs) 12:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Article is now here. You can work on it for as long as you feel is nessecary and then when you think its ready let me know and I'll get someone to review it and provide advice on what (if anything) else needs doing.Amortias (T)(C) 12:28, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much.. Can you give me your email id so that i will mail the copy of it to you.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbhishekBagul (talkcontribs) 12:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Would be easier to get hold of me here. I get so many notifications from wikipedia it might get lost in the mass, messages here show up on the top of my wiki pages. Amortias (T)(C) 16:11, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Alec Baldwin/Thomas & Friends

Look here Thomas & Friends, It even says it right here he was on it from 1998 to 2002, why don't you guy's believe me! 66.30.56.82 (talk) 18:46, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Nowhere in your edits did you say where the evidence to confirm your change were located. If you had provided a reference in the edit or by the change in the article there would have been no issue. If you wish to make the change please do so with a reference that backs up the claim - please note Wikipedia is not considered a reliable reference as anyone can edit it. Amortias (T)(C) 18:48, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

It even says it in the article that he narrated the series from 1998 to 2002, it say's it In the "Career" section in the article, the other IP User made it false like that, don't listen to that IP User that made it that way, It was correct before in the past! 66.30.56.82 (talk) 18:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

This user is the one that made it false, Taikoguide, why are you guy's listening to him, he didn't even provided a source of that at all. This is what it needs to say "1998–2002" not, "1999, 2003". Why can't you understand that? 66.30.56.82 (talk) 19:12, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

My Edits

Look I apologize for my edits, I won't do it again. I'm sorry 66.30.56.82 (talk) 19:51, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

P.S. I'm also sorry for being mad of the whole Alec Baldwin Thomas thing too, I'm sorry. 66.30.56.82 (talk) 19:51, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Thats fine nothing taken personally. If you want i can throw some links on your talk page that will link to some of the important policies regarding how to edit, what should/shouldnt be done etc. Its difficult to tell how long IP's have been editing for so it may be old information but if not let me know and I'll throw them over.

Buile Hill Park

Hello "Amortias",

As the only surviving direct descendant of Sir Thomas Potter I feel I have the credentials to rectify certain inaccuracies in topics that relate to my immediate family. My grandfather, Richard Ellis Potter, was born at Buile Hill in 1855. There are extensive family diaries, manuscripts, and other supportive material that give accounts of his life as a child in Buile Hill and its Park. Buile Hill was never left to the Nation by Sir Thomas Potter! There are a number of legal documents that support this and give evidence of the following occupants of the house and estate. This was sold by my great grandfather in 1877 to John Marsland Bennett. This is also well-documented.

John Potter died in Tadcaster in 1802. He was never a Merchant. His eldest son, also John, died of yellow fever in August 1796 on his way from New York to Havana. Sir Thomas's elder son, Sir John Potter, was born in 1815 in Prestwich and died in 1858 at Beech House, Eccles. Sir John was also a merchant, Mayor of Manchester, and finally M.P. for Manchester. He did not, in view of his young age at the time, have anything to do with reforms and the plotting parlour. Sir John never lived at Buile Hill as an adult having acquired Beech House. His younger brother, Thomas Bayley, lived there after his mother died in 1852.

The Potter archives are extensive. Many are housed at the London School of Economics. Many others are to be found at the British Library. Others are held at Manchester. Georgina Meinertzhagen, née Potter b.1850, wrote the book From Ploughshare to Parliament based on old family papers found in a box kept in the cellar of Standish House. These papers were dated between 1783 and 1845. These are now housed at the L.S.E. in London. The book was first published in 1896 and reprinted in 1908.

There are also inaccuracies relating to the acquisitions of various parks and their amalgamations. I think you will find that if you undertook to check all this out you would find that all the supporting evidence to my editing is readily available. The London School of Economics' archive room is particularly productive. There are a number of books out there written on the Cotton Trade and the Merchants. The Georgian Group in London will give you all the information you like on Buile Hill and Sir Charles Barry (never commissioned by a John Potter!). There are too many references on the Potters in Hansard to be able to mention them all here. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Amortias&action=edit&section=new# Best wishes,86.168.130.59 (talk) 11:52, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Beatrice Claire Potter

Hi Beatrice
Unfortunatley with the internet being what it is its frightfully difficult to prove anyone is who they say they are. information needs to be added and removed in a specifc manner which includes reliable sources a neutral manner and be verifiable. If you can edit while fulfilling all of these criteria then ther should e no porblem with the changesbeing made. However, as you are related to the articles namesake it would be better to make a {{requested edit}} on the articles talkpage and allow another uninvolved editor to review the request to ensure it meets these criteria.

Hello, the edits you reverted on User:Jelly Bean MD were done in order to "close" the account following demand for global indefinite block due to compromised account during absence. I will restore them - thanks for your collaboration. --142.157.21.101 (talk) 20:32, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Can you point me to the request to close the account. Its very unusual for an acount to be edited in this manner and I'd like something to put my mind at rest. Amortias (T)(C) 20:34, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
Demand on fr.wiki was kept for evidence: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Requête_aux_administrateurs#Demande_d.27auto_blocage --Histologyfreak (talk) 20:39, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

As commented at User talk:Barek#Rvt user page edits, the account here is already blocked - their request at fr.wiki was to have their account blocked for personal reasons, no mention of a request to alter their user page.

Why?

Why have you included my name on that list. I am not impersonating user:moxy Moxy reborn (talk) 22:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

There is an unfortunate habbit of people impersonating other editors especially those that have been around for a while. Your username is very similar to that of another editor and is potentially confusing/misleading (not nessecarily intentionally), the quickest wa around this would be to request a username change. Amortias (T)(C) 22:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Alright. Change it to "I love Angela" then. That would solve the problem. Moxy reborn (talk) 22:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I've posted the request at the username page and someone should get back to you to discuss. Amortias (T)(C) 22:13, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

sorry for acting so childish I understand that this site is very professional and very useful I apologize for any vandalism and i hope i didnt waste your time

Thanks again mate, have a great day — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elton yu (talkcontribs) 16:44, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, just so your aware the reason these tend to get picked up so quickly is that theres a range of software that reports on changes that meet specific criteria and report these to a page many editors review constantly.
Short answer - dont do it again as it'll almost certainly get picked up.
Long answer - dont do it again as it'll almost certainly get picked up and you may end up blocked and unable to edit. Amortias (T)(C) 16:48, 10 April 2015 (UTC)


okay then,thnx for warning me sorry if im posting on the wrong area,kinda new to this user talk thing — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elton yu (talkcontribs) 16:52, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

can you please stop reverting my changes, I'm summarising recent changes to the academy, all the old info isn't relevant anymore now everything has gone through with the inspiration trust, thank you

The information is still relevent as it shows the history of the Academy. Wikipedia is an enclclopedia not a new organisation that only provides details of the most recent events. We detail the history and the current parts of an ogranisation person or event. If you wish to go and review other articles to see evidence of this feel free to do so.

Provide rationale when reverting edits

Pse provide proper rationale when reverting edits, as you've been reverting some of mine at History of SA page. Otherwise you're liable to be accused of vandalism or bad faith editing. Better yet, provide reliable sources to prove such sources exist per WP:Verify.

Please see the article, I am currently moving through the sections tagged as citation needed and am either inserting appropriate references or removing the sections in question. Amortias (T)(C) 21:38, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Citations are needed throughout the article, not only in sections tagged as "citation needed". I gave up inserting the "citation needed" tags after about the first 20 or so, (working from the bottom upwards). Sections are also heavily POV biased through omission of important and highly relevant data. NPOV is supposed to prevail, but this article is not NPOV in many respects. Reads like some kind of secondary school essay. 41.162.131.130 (talk) 18:03, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
PS - Are you the editor who removed the "Invasion of Angola" plus supporting text, and reverted to earlier version? If so, why? Feel free to use article talk page to explain rationale (and/or provide courteous discussion) if any. 41.162.131.130 (talk) 18:33, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Why am I being warned!

I have been warned that I will be blocked from editing! Why is this I am confused I have not vandalized the Article. Please Help I am confused. -Ios8jailbreakpangu 4/17/15

  • Because you're edit warring. Read WP:EW. If you do it again I will block you indefinitely. You have been given plenty of advice--if you can't hear it, or can't understand it, you are not competent enough to edit Wikipedia. Amortias, pardon the interruption. Drmies (talk) 22:52, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi @Ios8jailbreakpangu:, the article you have been creating gives no context or content to the place in question. If you wish to create it you will need to provide sufficient detail to describe it and also provide reliable sources to validate these details. If you can provide these then it is more likely that the article may be reatined. It would be very worthwhile to create the article in a draft space to allow you to work on it until its ready to go live. If you want to do this let me know and I'll move it to a draft for you to work on at your leisure and when you think its ready to go live you can request feedback from other editors prior to its move to mainspace. Amortias (T)(C) 22:56, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes please send it to a draft for me Thank You -Ios8jailbreakpangu 4/17/15 19:01 (EST)

The article is now located at Draft:East_Cary_Middle_School. If you add to this page and make sure it includes reliable sources and is neutral and does not appear to be promotional. When you think its ready to go let me know and I can point you in the direction of where to get some feedback before it gets put into the main article area.
