Please note: If your message is related to a disputed edit, the best thing to do is open a discussion on the talkpage of the article instead of leaving a message here. This way we may involve as many editors as possible instead of confining the discussion here. Wikipedia is a community effort. Let's use this community component. Thank you.
Welcome

Please feel at home. Let's have a discussion in this beautiful place.

The fiscally responsible approach to editing

References in Wikipedia are like money. You have it, your edits go places; you don't, then they are not accepted. And of course you are not allowed to print your own money, i.e. make-up your own references, they have to be from third-party, reliable sources, i.e. real money from a real bank. Needless to say you are not allowed to spend other people's money. All currency may have to go through the scanner for validation. It is a simple system actually because Wikipedia is like a (data) bank. If the deposits (i.e. edits) you are making are good, your credit limit (i.e. your credibility as an editor) increases. But if you start making counterfeit deposits, (i.e. bogus edits), the accountants, (other editors), may want to have a word with you and, of course, your credit cards will be cancelled, (i.e. your credibility will be zero).

FYI

Please see this comment, which might indirectly concern you. Note though that I don't intend it as a complaint against your redaction per se (you can quote me on that!), but merely an attempt to understand the current norms regarding BLP on wikipedia to see if should still be occasionally making an edit here or not. 50.148.126.65 (talk) 00:42, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the notification. I'm not interested in pursuing this further. I tried to enforce BLP per recent precedent of reverts by other editors on that talkpage and then the political ****storm erupted. That's a sure sign to keep away from it. And yes, please continue making edits here. It is readily apparent that you are an open-minded, eloquent and fair person. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

My thanks

Been so busy here in Kansas, I forgot to thank you for clearing the nonsense off my talk page. Subsequently, the editor in question decided that you and FactStraight were both sockpuppets of mine, so I felt the need to address that issue personally.

Hi Dr. K. Thanks for the message - was glad to help with the review.

Can you point me at what I'm doing wrong? Cheers, - Karenjc (talk) 22:31, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
Thank you again Karen for your help. The problem with the transclusion can be solved by forcing the server to renew the connection.

Freedom of religion in Georgia — looking for comments on sourcing and impartiality

Hi. I hope you've been doing well. I was wondering if you might be willing to have a look at the article on Freedom of religion in Georgia, where I have done a major rewrite. The article, as it currently stands, is highly critical of the Georgian Orthodox Church and its activities in the public arena in Georgia — but I'm not sure what else I can do, since this appears to be the view taken by mainstream reliable published sources. I asked for feedback at the Eastern Orthodoxy wikiproject talk page, and I got a lengthy reply from one editor suggesting some ideas which may or may not be usable per Wikipedia's RS and NPOV policies as they are generally understood. If you have any thoughts on this subject, I'd be grateful to hear them. Thanks. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 22:56, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Rich. I am very well, thank you. I hope everything is well with you also. Thank you for you kind comments. I'll check into this and I'll let you know. It is always a pleasure talking to you. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 23:27, 3 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Time for an RfA?

Hi Δρ.Κ.

I hope this post finds you well. I was wondering if you would consider standing for adminship and permitting me to nominate you. You appear to have an admirable record of content creation and your non-article contributions lead me to believe that you would use the tools in a trustworthy way. What are your thoughts?- MrX 15:35, 17 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi MrX. Thank you very much for your kind comments and for taking the time to look at my work. Thank you also for your offer regarding nominating me for a potential RfA. I would be very pleased to accept it, as long as I decide on actually going through the process. Perhaps if I focus enough on the idea of an RfA I could attempt it. But I haven't given it much thought. It is like visiting a relative. It sounds vaguely like a good idea, but sometimes the mechanics of actually going through with it make the fun diminish somewhat. :) Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 00:08, 18 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Quite a bit of hubris

I just scanned this page for hubris, and my detector blew up. That means a lot of hubris was in the process of being identified before my detector was rendered inoperative. Here is my explanation of your disgraceful hubris: "DR K is a Danish television channel from DR dedicated to culture and history." You will, of course, Greek man, be devastated by my public outing of your hubris—but I make no apology.

But whence this utter gibberish about hubris? And not just hubris, mind you, for I have detected total complacency and total hubris. Simply disgraceful.

Comment Change

Hi, Dr. K. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Northern_Cyprus&diff=592791087&oldid=592781593 You said: "Not allowed to change the comments of others.". My aim was not to change the user comments as you may guess immediately (I did not change even a comma in your comment in essence). I wanted only organize the pro and con opinions in the systematic way. I do not know any way of this. A table is not suitable I think. Once I remimber, there were green OK and red NON symbols in Wikipedia for voting in Talk pages. I think, consensus is more than voting, in essence. Is there a tool in Wikipedia that users put pro..con symbols while simultanously have the ability to add relevant opinion? I think the merit of pro..con opininions superside the numbers of pros or cons. Kind regards. Alexyflemming (talk) 13:44, 28 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Sign of the Cross

I thought perhaps you'd like to see a quote I found about ancient practice of making the sign of the cross. While it's not from apostolic times, and hence would not satisfy some, it does explain why written record from those times is unlikely to appear.

St. Basil the Great, canon 91: "From the dogmas and preachings preserved in the Church, we have some in doctrine set forth in writing, and others, which have come down to us from apostolic tradition, we have received in secret, both of which have equal force as regards piety. ... For example, to mention the first and most common custom: Who has taught in writing those that put their hope on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross?"

It never ceases to amaze me that those who require documentary proof of everything forget that the documents represent the testimony of those who wrote them. If that testimony is false, what good are the documents? And if true, why is their word not good also? Evensteven (talk) 10:00, 7 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Evensteven for that much needed dose of eloquence, logic and calm scholarship. I agree completely.

Hi Dr.K, thank you for your contribution to the RfC on Justin Bieber's behaviour and legal issues.

About User:Nfomamdoalfrlpsa

Hello Dr.K.! I can see from your AN/EW report about a week ago that User:Nfomamdoalfrlpsa had resumed his disruptive editing, which resulted in a one month block. I think you'd probably be aware by now, but anyway, his block was subsequently extended to indefinite with talk page access revoked, apparently due to personal attacks by the said user.

(EC)AIV was probably over the top - it's intended for obvious vandalism in progress. I would posit that I am not the only one who didn't get it - as it's sat unactioned for hours now. I've blocked him for username, but I'd suggest WP:UAA in the future for that sort of report. I don't have the time at the moment to go over the wall of text that is that SSP.

Thank you. Some of the troll's edits were bona-fide vandalism but I understand your point. The Vgleer SPI regulars will take care of the rest. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 09:14, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
You might not have noticed, but User:COXX domination had already been blocked for a few hours when you reported him to WP:AIV. Same with User:Leerslost, and I believe 1 more before that. If you like, you can check the block status of a user by going to Special:Log/block, and entering in User:(username) in the "Target (title or user)" field. Let me know if you have any questions - I'd be happy to help. I know how annoying these persistent socks can be, hopefully we can get them all knocked out. I'm going to go back thru these and make sure autoblock is on etc. SQLQuery me! 21:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
That's the first thing I check. COXX domination just got blocked by Amalthea about 17 minutes ago at 21:30 UTC. Similarly Amalthea blocked Leerslost at 21:14 UTC, about half an hour ago. Both blocks happened after my AIV reports. Nevertheless, thank you for offering your help in blocking this troll. Much appreciated. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 21:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hey Dr. K, you think this is correct, and if not, do you recognize this joker? Who was it that was trying so hard to out me? Later! Drmies (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi Doc. Great actions on your part. That's one of the typical MOs of the vandal/troll. Great work on the article btw, as usual. With your editing we may yet bring these K-pop articles into some encyclopaedic shape. Not quite to GA level, if that is at all possible, but at least to something better than usual. :) Thanks for letting me know. It is always nice seeing you here. Take care. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 02:09, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I think you should write up those guidelines, or pick one of those articles and make it a GA. Wouldn't that be a trip? Only problem is, I don't know if one can find enough reliable sources to make it happen... Anyway, it's not just K-pop and J-pop--I found fancy timelines at Galneryus as well. J-metal, sure! Drmies (talk) 02:21, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
After you mentioned it, I just realised that J-pop is a parallel universe to K-pop. I just can't bear the thought of the usual K-pop problems having just doubled. I should perhaps start patrolling J-pop articles which, if the quality of the K-pop articles is any indication, may need serious quality adjustments. Good work on cleaning up Galneryus but as you mentioned, it is difficult to bring this type of articles near GA due to lack of sources. I think the best we can do is to at least reference any information present in those articles. Btw, which guidelines did you have in mind? Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 03:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hitler and Mannerheim recording

Hi there friend. I saw you changed "deemed impossible" to "deemed possible" in the Hitler and Mannerheim recording. I re-changed it back to "deemed impossible" in the belief you made a mistake, I only first later that same day while I was re-visiting the monologue, realized you were actually right. So, I have changed it back to "deemed possible". My apologies friend. Jonas Vinther (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Jonas Vinther: I don't know where we met before so you can call me multiple times "friend" but never mind. I only did three consecutive edits into your article, all correcting clear errors. Now look well into my three edits: My edit 1 on 10 March 2014, My edit 2 on 10 March 2014 and My edit 3 on 10 March 2014. Do you see that none of the three of my edits made the change?
Now look at the version of the article when you created it: on 5 February 2014. This version clearly says: This I would have deemed possible.. Conclusion: You wrote this when you first created your article. So please don't write false allegations against other editors before you investigate matters better than you just did. And try to cut back on the sarcasm. Thank you. However, if you need help on how to read WP:DIFFs please let me know so that I can assist you. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 14:37, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oh my... I think you badly misunderstood my point! There was no sarcasm? and I certainly didn't try to sound rude or cocky. I simply informed you that I made a clear mistake which I apoligezed for, in case you wondered why I changed your edit. I said "friend" simply as a kind gesture, not to be taken that seriously. Jonas Vinther (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Jonas Vinther: You said: I saw you changed "deemed impossible" to "deemed possible" and I only first later that same day while I was re-visiting the monologue, realized you were actually right. But the whole thing is I never touched that sentence, so there is no way I was right or wrong. Please look at my three diffs. None of them show that I ever had anything to do with that sentence. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 15:07, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
As far as you calling me friend, I can see the context now that I have read your message more carefully. But I had seen your edit summary at the article: Please, do NOT edit the dialogue! and I was expecting more of the same. In any case, sorry about that. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 19:19, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Beatles Songs

Is far as I'm concerned, songs by the Beatles (with the exception of Helter Skelter) are not correctly classified as hard rock. Usually a song needs to have more than just a heavy guitar before it can be considered hard rock. Helter Skelter is hard rock, because it has more than just heavy guitars. Otherwise the songs are usually classified as rock or blues rock.

I'm rather new to editing the wiki, so I'm not entirely familiar with what edits are considered constructive and what aren't. Songs such as "Hold the Line" by Toto, "Tush" by ZZ Top, "All Right Now" by Free, "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, "More than a Feeling" by Boston, "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf, "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin. Those are the sorts of songs that I consider to be hard rock, because they have more than just a heavy guitar. Take out the guitars of The Beatles' heavier songs (except Helter Skelter which is certainly their heaviest) and they'll just sound like ordinary average conventional rock. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:50, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi C.Syde65. I realise you have your opinions about the genre of the various songs but in Wikipedia this is considered WP:Original research and it is not allowed. Further, if a fact is supported by a source we don't remove the fact or its source. I hope this is of some help to you. Welcome onboard by the way. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 05:16, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Well okay, I understand now. It's just that I know many people who if you were to say this Beatles song is hard rock, they would say "Hard rock? Is that a joke?" I won't make any further edits on those parts, I didn't understand that those things meant don't edit in any way. You may have noticed that I'm just still learning about these things. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:27, 25 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Yes I did notice you are still learning. That is why I haven't filed a report yet at the administrator's noticeboard. Sorry for the final warning but since you were going so fast it was the fastest message I could come up with to indicate that you had to slow down a bit. Take care.

Canvassing madness

Thans for fixing the mess with the wp:spa ip account. It appears he is an old one.

Albania

If you are really, trying to put some real stuff on WP, than I would kindly request you start discussing on Talk:Albania. You say that the results are questioned. Who says that except Golden Dawn and Omonia, for whom we have inline citations? Who says that CIA factbook is not a RS?
