Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited People's Protection Units, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Islamic State. 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.

Piriform, C Cleaner

Greetings. When you added info to Piriform about their breach, you stated that the intrusion was executed in Sept 2017. It was discovered in that month. Tapered (talk) 10:33, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I saw you corrected it, and I myself corrected a slight typo in your addition to the article (researches > researchers). GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 00:34, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for edits on Para SF

A glass of Lassi for you
Here is a glass of Lassi for you. Lassi is a traditional Indian dahi (yogurt) based drink. Thanks for pointing out problems related to the Para SF page. While making an edit summary is good. It will be of great help to the page watchers if you also note down and elaborate your concern on the talk page so that it can be fixed. Thanks for the good work and keep it up.
Thank you.

The Pogues

They are Anglo Irish musicians, this is not news. Englishmen of Irish descent, and this is the identity of their music. Irish-British meanwhile is not a term that is commonly used. Martin FGH (talk) 17:07, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What are you playing at? You have ignored the debate on the talk page, and you are now ignoring the sources. Martin FGH (talk) 17:47, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not ignoring the talk page; I was composing a reply. It's unreasonable to expect me to construct a thoughtful response in 5 minutes (the time that elapsed before your latest revert). Please stop your edit warring; issues like these are first discussed, and then the page is altered as appropriate when the discussion (hopefully, fruitfully) reaches a conclusion. This is how Wikipedia works. Whether or not the "British" label is appropriate in your opinion, it stood in the article for over a year before being abruptly removed by yourself, ignoring the comment explicitly requesting users to head to the relevant section of the talk page. I've shown a variety of sources, including from the band themselves, where they not only refer to themselves as English, but explicitly dispute the "Irish" label and refute the claims they're an Irish band. GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 18:18, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GhostOfNoMeme, I'm not entirely sure who to talk to, but the issue of 'what' sort of band The Pogues are has arisen again and I see from the notes it is a historical one. I edited the article to read 'English and Irish' but it keeps getting changed to Irish (no doubt in retaliation to the latest news article that brought the matter up) - I can't seem to see the editor who is doing this as I would like to talk with them if possible. Sorry still quite new here so not sure on process. Best wishes. Glaaaastonbury88 (talk) 21:56, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the message. This issue has come up many times and been discussed fairly heavily on the talk page; the article has been restricted/locked many times due to vandalism and nonconstructive edits/reversions by anonymous (IP) editors. I'll revert the changes and encourage editors to discuss on the talk page of the article, as the comment in that section clearly requests. Thanks. GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 22:18, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It seems the same editors (or group of editors?) has taken to literally vandalising the article directly. I'm not sure what the best course of action is, but I reverted the edits I saw and I've placed a request for protection for the article. GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 23:14, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GhostOfNoMeme, yes thanks for taking a look. I received a message from User:Bromographi on my talk page that reads: 'Stop making changes to pogues. They are whatever we want them to be and i won't stop this until banned diched' I am guessing he is involved and see from the history that he is and has been banned before. I have reported him to the admin noticeboard. I wonder how the page can be protected, perhaps 'semi protected' where users need an account would help? Thanks again.Glaaaastonbury88 (talk) 05:42, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GhostOfNoMeme Hello again, I wonder if you had a chance to review my latest comment that I left a week ago on The Pogues chat that provide counter references to the idea of the band being only English. I wanted to respectfully ask what you thought and that if we cannot agree I wonder if we can ask for an official 3rd opinion or take it to be disputed? Many thanks in advance. Glaaaastonbury88 (talk) 14:32, 2 August 2020 (UTC) P.S I have also asked for some input from K6ka due to the time gone by, I am sorry if you have been busy and unable to respond.[reply]

Hello! Sorry for the delayed response, I've indeed been rather busy this past week, unable to dedicate much time to the few matters on here I'm involved in. I'll have a look through the talk page and respond this evening or tomorrow morning. Thanks for the reminder and sorry again for keeping you waiting! GhostOfNoMeme (talk) 14:55, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GhostOfNoMeme Hi again, no worries at all! I know how it is...perhaps I have too much time on my hands tee hee and it is I who should be sorry for being impatient. Thanks for letting me know - I genuinely look forward to your interesting replies. Best regards Glaaaastonbury88 (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Elongate article

Hello User:GhostOfNoMeme, I'm reaching out because you're listed as a contributor to the Cryptocurrency WikiProject. I am trying to get a draft published in the Cryptocurrency domain, but it's a bit difficult as the reviewers seem to have an opposition to the topic of crypto as a whole. Meanwhile there are other topics published with significantly less notability. As you are knowledgeable on the subject, could you please look at the draft and let me know if you can assist? Thank you! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elongate_(cryptocurrency)

Important notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Introduction to contentious topics

Information icon You have recently made edits related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. This is a standard message to inform you that post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 14:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Chocmilk03. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Lexie Matheson, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:02, 15 July 2024 (UTC) [reply]

(To explain further, you did provide a reference, but Reduxx is a questionable source and the material added was potentially defamatory.) Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:05, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, thanks for your message. I didn't write that section myself, rather I was attempting to restore the Honours and awards section that an editor had removed without explanation. See here where they removed it and here where I restored it. I probably should have checked the references I was restoring more carefully though, if unreliable sources were amongst them — my apologies if so. GhostOfNoMeme 05:17, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oooooh that makes much more sense. Sorry (facepalm), I should have more carefully checked the edit history than I did... please disregard above! Chocmilk03 (talk) 05:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No worries! I did apparently correct a typo in that section at some point (Pintrest → Pinterest) so I can understand how the confusion may have arisen. GhostOfNoMeme 06:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
