C.Fred,
Since you were the "draftifying" admin on the Alexis Lewis article, I wanted to let you know the article has been moved back in to article space from draft, yet retains a lot of problems that probably qualify it for A7 or G11. Since you made the call to draftify in the first place, I wanted to let you make the call on how to proceed. Otherwise I'll probably tag for G11 in 24 hours.

Hi C Fred, Ghatges are not Brahmins but Maratha Kunbis. Sagarikas forefather Shahu Maharaj was a Maratha. Holkars are also Marathas. Chiptavan Brahmins are not Marathas. Please correct the error on Sagarika Ghatge page! Shantanusingh10 (talk) 20:49, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
@ C Fred do you have any reliable source which states that Sagarika is a Brahmin??
Sagarika was born to Maratha parents Vijasinh and Urmila Ghatge in Kolhapur, Maharashtra where she stayed till the age of 8.
Refer to the links below, and you cite a source which states that Sagarika Ghatge is a Chiptavan Brahmin, just because some editor wrote Chiptavan Brahmin, doesn't mean you will take their word for it without citing a reliable and correct source.

How is a member of the Allman musical family not notable? I have a proper source and a reason for him being there. Members of musical families are often notable just for being a part of the family. 165.134.17.37 (talk) 19:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
Agree to disagree, fame by family is inherent in society today. Take the Kardashian family, for example: Robert Kardashian, Caitlyn Jenner, and Kim Kardashian made the rest of their family members famous by proxy.
Robert Kardashian was one of the lawyers in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder case.
No, that is the exact reason he is notable, that's why he himself is famous independent of his family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.134.17.69 (talk) 21:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear Fred,
Thank you very much for your kind message.
The only article I have been trying to add is an article about Professor Constantine Scouteris (my departed father), who was one of the most renowned Christian Orthodox theologians of the 20th Century. You will notice that it is already, in the very first stages of drafting, well referenced and I will certainly continue adding references and material once it goes live. At that point, I will notify his colleagues and friends to contribute to it.
The draft is in Greek, but has been saved in the English page of Wikipedia (due to my inexperience). I hope that once it is approved, it will automatically 'travel'/appear in the Greek pages. I then intend to also publish an English Article (for it to appear the English pages).
Hope this info has been useful for your editing process.
Best regards,
Dr. Basil C. Scouteris, LL.M., LL.M.

Hello C.Fred
Regarding your reverting of my edit on the article about the Žagarė Manor, I know what I was writing because that manor belonged to my great-uncle Georgiy Dmitrievich Naryshkin. See:
http://wikimapia.org/19274393/%C5%BDagar%C4%97-manor-house#/photo/1815930
With regard to the description on that above website, it was actually my great-grandfather Dmitri Ivanovich Naryshkin (Дмитрий Иванович Иванович Нарышкин) who built it. He died on March 1, 1866 at the age of 53. He was neither a count, nor a duke nor prince nor baron - our family never accepted any titles (with one single exception). His eldest son Georgiy Dmitrievich Naryshkin, my great-uncle, inherited it and was the last owner and occupant of the manor, he and his wife and two surviving children (his eldest daughter, Anna Georgievna Naryshkina, died in 1907) fled during the Revolution and settled in England where his Englih wife, Elisabeth Harriett Iossifovna Naryshkina née Knight, had relatives. His son Boris died in London in 1922 aged 48, and he passed away two years later in 1924.
We tend to spell our name Narishkin - a simplification my father made when he naturalized British in the thirties.
What better and more reliable source can there be but myself with regard to my family's properties in Lithuania? My grandfather, Alexander Dmitrievich Naryshkin and brother of Georgiy Dmitrievich Naryshkin also had an estate not far from the one in Žagarė - here is a website with photos of his estate as it (more or less) stands today:

I am attempting to conform with wikipedia's standards, but we now have conflicting edits - which is making editing somewhat difficult. As I've previously stated, I'm not a fan of self promotion, and the original site stayed deficient for years. I've only come on here because I'm receiving multiple complaints about the poor entry. In addition to not being a fan of self promotion, I'm not a fan of birthday wishes, so I do NOT want my date of birth shown on this site, which you have re-inserted. Adhage01 (talk) 02:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
I'm fully appreciative of the need to be neutral - and I'm also cognisant of the undesirability of editing this page - that has only been resorted to in light of the criticisms I've received about Wikipedia and I've had to attempt to rectify things. I'm also fully aware of the "promotional tone" of earlier insertions - something I was attempting to rectify by going back to earlier versions (which contained ribbon bars) and removing the "promotional issues". It might be easier to delete the page altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adhage01 (talk • contribs) 02:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
I am also puzzled as to why, under the "Honours and Awards" section, the medal ribbons have been removed. It is standard practice for Wikipedia to allow ribbon bars (see for example, Peter Cosgrove, another holder of the Military Cross). Perhaps you can explain this for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adhage01 (talk • contribs) 02:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
That too is more than puzzling - the current page clearly shows the sources for the Order of Australia and the Military Cross.

Having an MA in medieval philosophy, and having written my thesis on the ontology of promise in Aquinas, the middle ages are a passion for me and I hate to see people use it as a blank slate on which they can allege anything they want.

Your insistence on restoring a paragraph full of unsubstantiated assertions about Aelred's sexuality, homosexual or otherwise, is unscholarly and demonstrates a clear bias on your part. The most objectionable sentence is "his own conscious homosexual orientation", which I would allow to stand if it actually had some textual support, even secondarily, but it refers neither to a primary text by the article subject himself, and the only secondary reference is to "American Council of Learned Societies: Dictionary of the Middle Ages, volume 4" with no page cited. Again, your insistence on leaving this allegation included with no scholarly support causes me to think you have some emotional interest in this assertion, which has no place in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 21:58, 7 June 2018 (UTC) (talk • contribs) Nccsa186 (UTC)
Is this the proper way to make replies? Not sure who the other editor is. I don't use aliases, this is my only account, wherewith I have financially supported this wiki. As for sources, whether to let dubious statements about someone dead for almost 1000 years persist isn't really something that merits the building of consensus. I didn't delete any of the statements about modern LGBT organizations claiming him as their patron, which is factually true and easily verifiable. Even Mr Crompton's assertion is, well, HIS assertion and so I have no objection to its being included, provided the sources are cited. But a vague reference to volume 4 of a text is beneath the dignity of this important resource. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nccsa186 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for checking the time line of the deletion of the 1st version of this page - what I meant is that Mr. Lem, who was hammering this page for about an year, consistently vandalizing it, posted it for deletion AGAINST the opinions expressed on the Talk page. Thus he clearly used his position to push his own agenda, even though Editors should be neutral. Then (lucky him) within a space of 24 hours there were 2 "delete" opinions posted under that notice. The whole community that was discussing the appropriateness of cuts and changes was left out of the discussion, and their contribution on the Talk page was ignored by Mr. Lem. 2 opinions are hardly a consensus on such a complex topic as mathematical biology, and if an Editor has a clear bias against the theory (observed from the Talk page) perhaps a decision about a deletion should be done by someone neutral?

I am an avid sci-fi fan in the United Arab Emirates, I have been part of many conventions like MEFCC (Middle East Film and comic con), and IGN Middle East numerous times, this is the materials that come out of our country. I am keen to publish articles on other filmmakers in this region. I have not added these photos on my own, they are in the newspapers and comic-con, you can view them with the links provided. I have taken them from newspapers and I have not found any photos outside the media of those films. Please do have a look at the news article sources I have mentioned. Since I have taken these pictures from newspaper articles I was unsure of how to upload them to wikimedia and how to source and link them, which is why I stated them as my own. If you could please guide me on how to post photos taken from newspaper articles it would be greatly appreciated.
Im asking you for guidance, because there is something I am not doing right, cause these are not my photos, they are newspaper photos. So tell me how to state that and publish accordingly. You guidance will be highly appreciated

Hello, I am from Ano Poroia! The article is about 30-40 % my contribution since the beginning. I had requested for translation of the bulgarian article for the village many years ago and someone wrote the exact translation from Bulgarian to English. Then I added more facts that I read in books referring to the local history. Recently I realized that someone has vandalized it by changing Bulgarian to Macedonian, greek to Macedonian or turkish and so on.
I expect you to revert to my version as soon as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geotol (talk • contribs) 02:06, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Here you can see that the guy who requested the translation of the original bulgarian article was me. I am not a bulgarian to have any nationalistic view on this. I am greek and aromanian and I can definitely tell you that there were no "Macedonian" slavs in this village. Now why this vandalism was allowed by wikipedia is a matter for discussion... https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B0:%D0%93%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B8_%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B9 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geotol (talk • contribs) 02:24, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
C.Fred, I don't know what to say. That other editor gave explanations of sorts, but they're not exactly clear or convincing. Let me add, Geotol, that it is not a good idea to edit while logged out--C.Fred, I think you know what I'm pointing at in the history. Drmies (talk) 02:30, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
This article if it remains as it is, it does not make any sense. You had better remove it completely if you are not reverting it to the previous versions. There were never macedonian schools in greece since there was no macedonian state back then. There were people studying in either bulgarian schools funded by Bulgaria, or Greek schools funded by Greece. There were a few Romanian schools later on as well funded by Romania which taught in Greek and the local Aromanian language. Just to give you the extent of vandalism, in 1913 the village was within Greece. I had written that according to the greek statistic ministry there were 2.684 greeks in the village. Now it says macedonian ministry. There was not even a macedonian ministry back then and even if it existed they wouldn't be able to count people within the borders of another country. There was no macedonian exarchate back then as well. And to conclude if I start writing in every english article the toponym of the US places in greek or swedish version wouldn't that be absurd? I accept the term in bulgarian since there were bulgarian people in the village who may try to find information on wikipedia about their former homeland. But the "macedonian version" is ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geotol (talk • contribs) 02:58, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Another thing, it speaks about macedonian language and it has a link to the south slavic language. Then it refers to Macedonians being the main population of the village and there is a link to the greek Macedonians (the indigenous greek population of Macedonia). So is it difficult to see that the article now has become a joke?
And regarding the statement "this is the Balkans"... I don't even live there anymore since I moved to Sweden years ago and I have attained a more internationalistic point of view. Geotol —Preceding undated comment added 03:06, 17 June 2018 (UTC)

All I did was to mention the name of the artist's son, Louis Faurer's son Mark, as a supporter of the Bresson Foundation exhibit, along with mention of Louis Faurer's Estate, which also supported the exhibit. None of this benefits me in any way, nor does it benefit Mark Faurer. It is merely clarifying facts that were mentioned in the book published in connection with the exhibit.
In excising these additions, you have also removed ANY mention of the Greenberg Gallery and the artist's son, which were in the original Wikipedia entry. Those items have been part of the bio for almost a year.
Sincerely,
David Gedalecia Fisher Professor of History College of Wooster Wooster, Ohio
P.S. I contributed information for the entry in Wikipedia on the Chinese philosopher Wu Cheng. In it, I made reference to several studies I wrote on him which frame the information provided in the entry. Does it represent a "conflict of interest" that I provided material with which I have a scholarly relationship? I think that Wikipedia needs to "fine tune" the definitions on "conflict of interest," lest it deprive its readers of useful, and sometimes vital, information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.140.24.212 (talk) 21:24, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Original research: there are published books listed, and the essay was the product of a 450-page doctoral thesis submitted to Harvard University, as well as being based on those books. I'm not clear on why that entry would be on a "slippery slope." That thesis is also the only study of this individual in English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.140.24.212 (talk) 21:54, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
The Faurer bio: Mark Faurer did not "direct" me to do anything. I asked for "suggestions," and he provided them. These can be footnoted to the exhibit volume if this would clear things up. Please inform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.140.24.212 (talk) 22:08, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
Tricky issue: the guideline says that original research should be based on published sources, so are published books I wrote excluded?
Furthermore, the thesis was published by the University of Michigan. Are you saying that if I contribute material to an entry that is from my own published research, as in a book, it violates Wikipedia guidelines?
Faurer bio: Okay, I asked for suggestions. What I gleaned is corroborated in the published exhibit volume. Can what I gleaned from the volume be included? It's published material.
Scholarship: There are countless instances of the author of a book referring to his earlier works on the subject. Encyclopedia Britannica has many examples where the author of an entry refers to his own works on the subject. Furthermore, my mentor in graduate school, Francis Cleaves, the premier Mongolist in the U.S., not only referred to prior works he had done in his articles; he also cited oral communications with his colleagues in the field for points of interpretation and factual verification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.140.24.212 (talk) 22:53, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi C.Fred - I appreciate you keeping Wikipedia honest, but I have a few questions about your edits on the Noonlight page. I didn't realize the information was considered "spam" or "promotional", so if you wouldn't mind informing me on how to update my page's information without doing so I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure if it's the certain words I used or the articles I attached, so please let me know the reasoning so I can update it correctly. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurenbhambri (talk • contribs) 20:19, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi C.Fred, I'm confused on why you would delete two whole paragraphs from Richard Ong 's page under the 'Goldman Sachs' sub-header when there were citations linked in the page itself. It seems pretty crucial to the page, and I'm puzzled on why that would disappear. Additionally, do you know why those linked articles have been removed? I don't know why. Oh, and no need to TalkBack- I'll jusst check this page instead. ThePuggernaut (talk) 03:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I'm going directly to an Admin for this, rather than going through WP:REFUND, because I only seek to have a deleted article moved into my Userspace as a draft, primarily for research purposes. The deleted article in question is List of Figure It Out episodes – the AfD discussion was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Figure It Out episodes. I would like it moved into User:IJBall/sandbox4. The discussion for which I would like to see what shape this article was in when it was deleted is Talk:Double Dare (Nickelodeon game show)#Propose separate list of episodes page or season pages – basically the question is whether "season" or "list of episode" articles are ever appropriate for TV game shows. (Note that once I get this into my Sandbox, I may just request it's deletion again, or I may try to salvage it to see if can be gotten up to snuff for article status...).
Finally, I would have made this request to the original deleting Admin Lankiveil, but they have passed. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:09, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Please look at my attempts to dialogue with flightime and what I added to ross matthews and you will see. Thank You. 2601:155:8300:1659:4536:B605:9536:DB40 (talk) 01:56, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I have removed the names of Ross Mathews' parents from his article because of a verification failure. I checked the Instagram post in question, but could not find the names of his parents anywhere in it.
As for the names of his siblings, nephews, cousins, etc.: unless any of them are notable or significant enough to warrant more than a passing mention, they really don't need added to the article. —C.Fred (talk) 12:27, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
Please look again. I had desertsun and instagram and parade. I use it because all this nonbinary cisgender means no matter what I may mis identify someone adn that would be a problem. Any mispellings of flighttime were just mispellings not me insulting. And you saying " an unregistered editor with a demonstrated lack of familiarity with Wikipedia norms and policies" is not nice. You sound uppity.
You say i should suggesst my edits on talk page, but what about being bold. When flighttime reverted saying blpvio I did add sources but I feel flighttime didnt bother to look, just kep reverting. Please look above and see I did post my sources first to flighttime and flightime just delted and said I was harrassing. Just as you have advised me to use article talk page, I think you should remind fligttime to look and engage. I many times tried and my posts were just deleted as harrassment. 2601:155:8300:1659:4536:B605:9536:DB40 (talk) 18:10, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

I am going throught episodes of "hello ross" to add specific episodic sources.

If you blank a warning left on your talk page, the Wikipedia community will assume you have read and acknowledged the warning message.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:09, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

OK. Well, since the war on tobacco is so myopic, I don't think there really are any sources out there that talk about radioactivity in tobacco, along with Natural American Spirit's 5 USDA Organic, and less-radioactive, offerings, which live up to your standards, what a shame. The only reference I know of is my own website (SilencedOrganic.com), and you've already pretty much blacklisted it for Wikipedia's inclusion.

Fred,
I don't think censorship is good, so I hope you think the same way. I did not edit war. T*U did. Please review carefully my comments on the article's talk page. Noramiao (talk) 14:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Fred, You are from the States and you appear to be reasonable. I updated the prices of electricity for each country, I did numbered them, so each time you rank the country by their price they would appear more synchronized and pleasant and standardized and easily to be interpreted.
I don't see anything wrong. Its possible that you do at first, although there won't be any reason for that. But if you study carefully what I did, you would not be just impressed, but way beyond.
At the beginning of the article its written that the prices are listed in USD. Therefore I reflected on that in the table.
The code is more simplified, more accurate, more pleasant.
Anything else is a major leagueleague nonsense. Noramiao (talk) 19:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
This is not correct. I'm shocked by the ignorance of Velella. She is offending people that worked really hard and that I used their source of information. Just because she is not capable of verifing that, that doesn't mean others didn't verify it. Fred, you are reasonable person. You are from the States as I am, explain to both Aussie and Velella that they have a wrong approach which is full of ignorance, arrogance and stupidity. I never called them stupid, I said something else, just to clarify before someone implies something here.
Fred,
Please take the time to look at the version the way I did it. The prices are and should be in US Dollars, not in cents, but Dollars and also not in Euro cents like Spanish prices were.
Fred, I expect you to support me against the ignorance of Aussie ans Velella. These people are not in the States and they DO NOT think properly as us.
I'm in shock you smell witch hunting and paranoia instead of admitting others, not just Allylyric, agree with me. Noramiao (talk) 16:13, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Fred,
At the beginning of the article it's stated that the prices are listed in US Dollars. Also US Dollars are a world trade currency and it's widely adopted that all, absolutely all prices are listed in US Dollars, not just here but in many other financial sources. The only prices in Euro cents were listed for Spain, why not for the rest of the European countries?
Why ignorant Velella didn't spend time to update the European countries with Euro prices either Euro or eurocents?
Why she is ignorant to mess will my time for what I did. I'm telling you these people are not form the States and they are not capable of thinking like US.
I'll be severely disappointed from " the project" as you call it, if you allow these people to goof around with other people's work.
I have no association with Allylyric, but it's beyond obvious what critical thinking means. I hope you looked what I wrote on Allylyric's talk page. Noramiao (talk) 16:27, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
Fred,
You are WRONG, AGAIN. Look at the price comparison paragraph at the end of the last sentence. The table comparison should not be in US cents, but in US Dollars as I did it. Although other currencies like the Japanese Yen, the Euro and so on are in the category of the international currencies, they are not widely adopted as the US Dollars and here I'm not talking about trade I mean as a measurement.
Please go to the latest version of the article the way I did it and you would see a SIMPLIFIED and an aesthetic CODE.
All others are plain in lame. Beyond lame. Noramiao (talk) 17:21, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Well, the rivalry hasn't "ceased to exist" as you pointed out using my comments when I made the original edit. It's definitely not a FBS rivalry anymore due to Idaho's move to FCS. Unless something has changed with how rivalries are listed, especially in the FBS section, there aren't any FCS teams listed there. That's my two cents on the matter.

Allylyric has, as of now, made 4 edits, 2 of which have been to revert to Noramiao's version, which looks incredibly suspicious for a new editor.

Hi C.Fred. I saw your warning. Ugh. Will you please just look at the recent edit history of Edgar Snyder regarding the divorce content. Softlavender has repeatedly restored contentious, unsourced content to the BLP regarding the divorce. It's very simple, Softlavender keeps changing the content to say that Snyder and his wife are divorced (and that it happened in 2014). The problem: the attached sources do not say that! They simply talk about how the divorce just started. Please look at my edits on this, and hers. You'll see why I'm so frustated. It's a black and white issue. She wants to add unsourced content to a BLP based solely on her assumption, not on the sources. 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
I just found the policy regarding exemptions for edit warring (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring#Exemptions). Number 7 says "Removing contentious material that is libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced according to our biographies of living persons (BLP) policy." Also, why did you issue a warning to me and not the other editor? 2605:A000:FFC0:D8:3059:8016:5847:3E43 (talk) 15:33, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi C.Fred, would it be a good idea to temporarily semi-protect Pentagon (South Korean band)? A lot of editing is going on right now, mainly by fans. I raised a request on Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Pentagon_(South_Korean_band) for that. I believe that Random86's edit might be correct.

Hi, continuing on about the Cube thing right now, the Korean version of the Cube Entertainment article is also getting vandalised and has not been protected. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_Entertainment_discography this page also got hit once, though I did a revert over there already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.77.235.76 (talk) 04:19, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Dear C. Fred.
Do you know anything about that one controversial former Dr. Phil guest named Danielle Bregoli? You know that she became famous for bellowing Cash Me Outside How About That to the audience after she got upset.
Go forward in the day when she turned into a rapper named Bhad Bhabie. Despite her young age she swears quite a lot in her songs.
And when some user nicknamed Zawl he/she decided to create an article for her. It should've been titled Bhad Bhabie and the info about her was supposed to say "Danielle Marie Peskowitz professionally known as Bhad Bhabie (pronounced bad baby) is an American child rapper and social media personality from Boynton Beach, Florida. As Danielle Bregoli, she became famous for the Cash Me Outside Howbow Dah meme after appearing on an episode of Dr. Phil in September 2016", not "Danielle Bregoli professionally known as Bhad Bhabie (pronounced bad baby) is an American rapper and social media personality. She became famous for the catch me outside how about that meme after appearing on an episode of Dr. Phil in September 2016."
Besides rappers or singers with stage names shouldn't be under their real names as the name of the article, e.g. Chalotte Aitchison aka Charli XCX has her stage name as the title of the article not her birth name.
Lastly it would be best if you modify that by the time her 15 mix tape comes out. And I wouldn't consider using teen because she will turn the big 1-8 on Friday, March 26, 2021.
Yours truly,

I need to request you that please delete the page User talk:Yisrael Kristal as the reason of criteria CSD G4. That page was recreated after it got deleted. You can see the deletion log of User talk:Yisrael Kristal for confirmation. Thank you. 122.180.231.67 (talk) 09:29, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
Even if there is no criteria of G4, there is also the criteria of G3 as there was vandalism history. There is also one more criteria. Both the times, the page was only created for attacking two admin users (JamesBWatson and Widr). So the CSD also applies the criteria of G10. So please delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal as either G3 or G10 or both the criterias. Thank you. 122.180.231.67 (talk) 15:51, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
First, IP addresses 122.180.231.67 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 171.48.50.140 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) are not same and there is no block evasion going on. I am also from the same IP 122.180.231.67 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). Second, User talk:Yisrael Kristal should be deleted as it was created only to attack JamesBWatson, Widr and more users. I don't want to waste more time on this. It is simply an attack page and should be deleted as G10. So please quickly delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal as the speedy deletion criteria CSD G10 (Attack page). Thank you. 122.180.190.83 (talk) 17:16, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
User talk:Yisrael Kristal is an attack page, so should be deleted as G10. The protecting admin protected the page because it was not blank when it was needed to be blank for requesting attack page deletion while an IP requested deletion by ((db-g10)). I don't want to waste more time on it. Please very quickly delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal as G10 (Attack page) as it was clearly created to attack and troll purposes only. Thank you. 122.180.190.83 (talk) 17:33, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
As you pinged, the protecting admin (Callanecc) is not around on Wikipedia since 6th September, 2018. Callanecc (the protecting admin) may have left Wikipedia or must have taken a Wiki Break and may not respond to your queries. So please ignore all the protection of the page. User talk:Yisrael Kristal is clearly an attack page and needs to be deleted. So please quickly delete User talk:Yisrael Kristal as the speedy deletion criteria CSD G10.

Hi C.Fred,
I noticed you flagged for deletion the profile pic I added of the official banner of the film Thugs of Hindostan. Unfortunately it has since been deleted by another user. This was the picture: https://www.yashrajfilms.com/images/default-source/Movies/Thugs-Of-Hindostan/thugs-of-hindostan-desktop.jpg?sfvrsn=2
And this is original page it came from: https://www.yashrajfilms.com/movies/thugs-of-hindostan
I had uploaded it not of my own ownership, but through the Creative Commons uploader and specifically stated that it was NOT mine, but licensed officially by Yash Raj Films. My only question is, why this would not count as following the Creative Commons licensing rules, when official movie posters themselves are? Because movie posters are used under the 'Fair Use' rule and thus there is no problem using them. I would think banners follow the same reasoning. Besides, the company of the film (YRF) often lets their pictures be used, as in this case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jab_Tak_Hai_Jaan_Poster.jpg And YRF uses basically the same Thugs of Hindostan logo on their twitter page, so wouldn't that justify its' usage?
Finally, and perhaps the most compelling argument, YRF has already BEEN RELEASING to the public domain their own posters and motion posters WITH that same logo on them- see this example: https://twitter.com/TOHTheFilm/status/1043072324520607745 So they are effectively releasing that logo for public use now, with those posters. So if that same logo is on the banner, why not let me upload the banner? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Help me understand please.

Hey C.fred, I saw that you made several posts to the Lutheran West page in the past few weeks. A User:John from Idegon made a probably well-intentioned edit to the page adding a list of demographics to the page. I made an argument on the talk page as to why I think we should move to take it down. Would you be able to read through my post on the talk page and weigh in? I would like to get some feedback before making any actual edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richardo Saunders x6CA (talk • contribs) 09:22, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
First I'd like to thank you for allowing for my unblocking. I would just like to ask you if you could please reconsider to re-revert this insertion, here, which got somehow caught up in the middle of all this. Please note that this had nothing to do with the reverts which led to my blocking, so I think it is unfair for that user to be caught up in this confusion, and because his addition was in line with what has been said about that article. I'm going to be on a small break to digest all this and will be back soon.--Ppteles (talk) 16:15, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

What???? yes I used dictionary definitions of words as did everyone else who contributed to the page! The only difference is that my source provided a complete historical etyomology of the word in question and cited detailed references after every post. How on Gods green earth is that an unreliable source? And I posted unsourced content? What on Earth are you even talking about? I did no such thing. Restore my content immedietely or I will go over your head and get the Wikipedia people involved.
But I only deleted content that was untrue and slanted. Epison deleted all my content. Therefore, I am going to keep deleting...deleting...deleting this article until my content is restored along side everyone elses.

They deleted all of my content claiming my sources are unreliable. But my sources were as good as it gets. One of my sources was actually a link to all the relevant scriptures. I took out a lot of their content due to the fact that it is wildly inaccurate and cannot be verified by historical and biblical eveidence. Not to mention that it is written in a heavily slanted way. This is a subject matter that I know something about so I know when people are doing stuff like this. I want my content restored immediately. It is accurate and can be verified, plus is argued from an even and unslanted position as Wikipedia requires. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OS Believer (talk • contribs) 02:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
Hello Fred,
I am NACA OPI and I would like to go ahead and change my username. I do not work for NACA but, because they have helped me in the passed and I follow their activities, they have made me an associate member. I would like to change my username so that I will not have any issues and I would still like to do edits that show who is being investigated.
NACA OPI (talk) 01:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
When I say associate member I mean follower. I am no way an actual member of NACA because I was never a real member. All I was was a victim who reached out to them and they helped me. I wanted to be a part of them but they refused to bring me in as they have strict requirements to be in NACA.

That's ok, I will find someone who does not have a COI and see if they are willing to put this important info up. I think you are taking this COI thing a little too far when it comes to the important information that needs to be put on here.

Hi C.Fred. You once tried to help this editor out at User talk:IZoolabsiZoologic-Emjei#Equity Bank Tanzania Limited, so I'm not sure how that one turned out; however, the editor is back again causing disruption at Dhanalakshmi Bank Officers Organization and posting take down notices on user talk pages. Perhaps, you wouldn't mind taking a look at things and advising on how to best proceed. FWIW, this account was dormant for over a year, then re-appeared with the same agenda a few days ago; so, it seems to be that they are more WP:NOTHERE and WP:RGW than anything else. However, since it seems to involve legal claims of some kind, it might be best for someone above my pay grade to try and sort it out. Maybe WP:GOLDLOCK the article until admins or others at the WMF can sort this out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the question under the Vengaboys talk page, The museum curator would be the one behind the camera filming the video and also he would introduce himself as the one and only genuine Vengaboys Museum Curator and he would be the one reading off interview questions to Vengaboys and you would mainly see direct video footage of Vengaboys themselves answering the questions as the curator read them off the paper they were written on in the background, due to a exclusivity agreement between the museum and vengaboys management, the video would be published through the internet archive and the official Vengaboys Museum youtube page similar to how the uncle john not filmed in jamaica video was ONLY published to the museum's official page on youtube too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.140.68.10 (talk) 20:07, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

@C.Fred:
Hello C.Fred
You have reverted my recent edit to Outback Steakhouse without explanation. My edit was factual, has substantial merit, and is clearly supported by wikilinks. I am obliged to reinstate my edit.
If you care to rollback again please drop by here with your reasons. Always happy to learn. Please be advised also that my edits are invariably initiated by a first hand knowledge, as in this instance.
I have to admit I am surprised, and somewhat perplexed. You have clearly been in this WP editing business for a while, so you should be aware of justifying any rollbacks, especially as you have administratorial aspirations. This reversion does not fall under any exception, and I don't need to remind you of WP:3RR. I know it won't get that far between cooperating editors. Please note also this edit of mine was a precursor to a planned page creation specific to this topic, that will be referenced from right here. Said it before, I don't do barnstars or self accolades. That may have to change.

The falsified report by Wikaviani (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is grossly fabricated and malevolent. The fact that the reverts he cited conveniently ommit the sources I added is evidence of his manipulative efforts. Wikaviani himself posted his own source my talk page, stating "Some writers believe that Reza Shah was of Turkish origin, but the authenticity of this claim is uncertain." Several reliable sources were cited regarding the Turkish origin of the names, but user Wikaviani has been attempting to fabricate an alternate reality which doesn’t exist. I posted two sources from the renowned Iranica encyclopedia[1][2] and the entry also contained further internal links to both the names in question, Beyg and Ayromlou, which themselves contain further sources. The fact that Wikaviani is attempting to claim that 'Ayromlou' is not a Turkish name and 'that no evidence was provided' is an outlandish effort to spread misinformation and enforce his biased and fabricated POV.

Hi C.Fred - I think you may be able to help here as an long-standing editor on sports. Would you mind taking a look at this diff?
