I am slowly tired of people who vandalized my biography page on Wikipedia, who hide behind anonymous nicks, who blocked the biography and wrote calomnia in its talk space, inventing "self-promotion", while the biography they had already proved the contrary: I am sick and tired of your folk playing powerfull instead of doing your job properly. Maybe you have no boss, but you took a responsibilty, and that cannot be to boycott pages on Wiki. So please get honnest, and invite those folks to do their job rather than hiding behind empty phrases. They put pannels that lead to the "self-promotion" lie, but do nothing to solve the issue. Who is in charge here? Can you be real, rather than playing psy? Thank you for being real! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PredaMi (talk • contribs) 23:19, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
Mr. Hockett, he cannot remove books, I made a screenshot of a page of the Book of Henri Cohen, where he starts a chapter on my theorem. Here is a link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z9iMojc9QUKhE3XPUUHBzbkZukNwB5m5/view?usp=sharing
I am so disgusted by this new discovery, that I have nothing left to say. I do hope you or someone else, but soon, see for it that order is brought back and this guy be removed from his privileges. You see, it is not enough to have a defined term, when you have personnel that is incorrect. Good night, hope tomorrow to see a better side of Wikipedia.
Mr. Hockett, I am sorry for your comment, it was not on purpose. What happened is that we wrote at the same time, and there was a block. I also lost the text that I was writing. I think that the WIki system is simply old and is inadapted for such issues. I lost text too and had to rewrite, but do not put the blame on you. Anyhow, sorry for that.
But now please stop nagging on me, there is a serious issue here and you seem not to accept it. Do you read what I told you? Your pal, Mr. Overzwotan, is caught destroying evidence. As said, I gave him sources to books, he did not accept to verify. I have him a pointer to the theorem of Tijdemann on Wikipedia, and he erased personally the reference to my theorem from Wikipedia. Here you have his mark, yesterday at 11: 05, after I had explained him that he can find evidence there (information which he removed from his site), and before he blamed me to you, to erase the trace: curprev 23:05, 19 January 2020 Overzwotan talk contribs 4,285 bytes +13 undothank.
I am sorry for your troubles Mr. Larry Hockett, I find this way of communication totally clumsy, to get accustomed to precisely when you are victim of an attack. So please make this small effort to relate to the fact, and stop nagging about forms. My biography page has been vandalized, two persons have now proved that they introduced very much on purpose the alegiation of personal promotion, knowing it is false, and removing such evidence when it was presented to them. And nobody reacts. You want me to do what? Is there a coordinator of biography pages here around? Or can you now verify the facts, and act properly, please? You are the only one with a human name, and who halfways answers.
Believe me, this is a totally abstruse communication system, that I do not understand, it takes days and days to get a feed-back, and you never know if someone reads, but when you act, they tell you, you are wrong. I have no time for learning this system, so now that you can read my supply, and see that there is vandalism, please do something, that is all I ask! Since more than a week it feels like a house has been broken in, and the thief is within the police! There is an email of Wiki, which is presented as an address for complaints about biographies. I wrote more than a week ago, nobody replies. But there are trolls like Overzsomething, who have the right to mess around unpunished on Wiki. And you want to tell me I should accept this, and you want to tell me everything is "well defined"?
Sir, I gave you an evidence from a book, so that you do not need to have doubts that OverzX acted otherwise than in bad faith. Please let me know if you need anything more, but please act -- I guess you know more of the system than I do! Thank you. Oh, and maybe you should revert also the intrusion of the Tijedman theorem page -- there is no use in my doing it, he will jump to change it back anyhow. That is why you also need to get his rights blocked. This is it!
Preda MihailescuPredaMi (talk) 07:32, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Mr. Hockett, thank you for the response. I may agree that the person may not have liked my addressing him as troll. But I am not hypocrite -- the more he insisted in the pretense that he had done nothing wrong, the more of a troll he appeared to me. Let me make it clear: this is a professional"s biography, generated by outstanding professionals, in many languages, it has been around for more than a decade. And here comes someone who has no idea of the profession, and dares destroy it and comment openly "I suspect self-promotion", without any minimal verification. And one year later, a friend of mine brings it to my attention that some incompetents seem to spread gossip about me on my own Wikipedia biography -- can you imagine how many people have thought the same, before this friend noticed me? And after this offense, they expect me to have patience with them? Sorry, this is asking too much. Bringing the page in order is not enough. They must apologize on the talk page for the harm made, they must correct the Tijdeman page too, and thing twice, if they have done more miseries to me or someone else. It is incredible that Wikipedia tolerates such behavior! You saw for yourself, he removes evidence for Wikipedia, believing that he can avoid taking responsibility for the fact that he did not check his claim! Can you accept such behavior, as part of your team? I would not!.
So yes, I may wait two days -- but you know what I wait for. Not only that my page is brought in the correct state in which the German or the French or the Italian ones are. But also the Tijdeman page, and also the apologies for the public offense. A lesson is a lesson! Thank you for being a witness.
Best wishes

Sir - Please STOP all these far too many ridiculous reverts on almost all entries which are plainly and simply wrong as you quite apparently have no appreciation for better and more proper English usage, better sentence structure, added correct facts, as they are not at all appreciated - I am 73 and have been involved in sports, military and business operations since age 5 onward to now when I initially began attending games, going to military bases, various wars, where was fortunate to begin to meet and know for decades almost all the people written about and places attended - I operate a major historical agency and cover Major and Minor League Baseball, military facts and obituaries on a daily basis, as well - Seems most of you virtually know nothing ' editors ' have no idea whatsoever at all about sports / stadiums / ballparks / facts / figures / military matters / etc. - Therefore, if you keep entering these totally unnecessary and unwarranted insults you will be reported for doing so - You seem to be busy enough with your hundreds of others so do me this small favour and just stick to ones with real problems and leave my few small entries alone, all of which others would say are ' perfect ' - Have you ever even gone to the trouble to see the now over 8,000 better word changes / corrections / additions of missing letters / additions of missing words / etc. which have entered over time with very few reverts ??? - Frankly, if WIKIPEDIA does not want nor appreciate this FREE assistance to your very poorly monitored pages with far too many mistakes of both omission and commission then simply just advise as am busy enough here so can do without these insults.

Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. I am Just frustrated that Manuel Margot gets to be on a new team the same day he is traded and Mookie Betts still listed under his old team and he was traded over a few days ago. I am sorry If I did anything Disruptive, it wasn't my intent. MY Intention is to get Mookie Betts To be listed under his current team that he has been traded to, The Los Angeles Dodgers of LA California. He was Traded on February 4th,,[3] Yet is still listed as a Redsox. If there is anyway you could Update his information, that would be greatly appreciated and this whole matter would be over and done with, thank you kind sir and have a good night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarmusic2 (talk • contribs) 11:28, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

I can see that my sources about Mookie Betts becoming a dodger are falling on deaf ears and I am just done with the whole dea. I don't even like the guy anymore since I am a Padre Fan and Wanted him to come to SD. I hope the guy get's injured because He will be a thorn on our side. As for wikipedia in the matter If you guys still list him as a Red Sox, I hope he stays that way and never comes to the dodgers.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with almost all of these small word changes which are very much better usage of words than seen at first and for you to revert entire entries is just plain and simply wrong - Why not just change a word or two but to revert entirely is not the thing to do - WRONG !!! - Then , per example, to say changes in entry for HARRY CHITI is TRIPE is beyond insulting / beyond belief as we knew him well until death where he and his son would appreciate his entry being presented in a much better manner than your not needed revert - Again, please stop editing these entries as you are WRONG and there are few grammar issues so take a course and learn something - You are plainly and simply wrong in all of this - Am only trying to make some of these biographies look / appear / read better which you and a number of you not at all with it ' editors ' do not understand as you are not athletes or have ever written anything proper on or about sports in general and most definitely do not understand how sports stories / game day write ups should be presented - Just stop it, please - YOUR TOO MANY INSULTS ARE NOT APPRECIATED !!!!!

There is a lot of back and forth regarding the Bone Thugs N Harmony alleged name change, due to their commercial for Buffalo Wild Wings.
However, two members have already stated that it is a joke. Krayzie Bone on his Instagram where he wrote and I quote "The name change was just a joke y'all calm down">
And Bizzy Bone on his Jamtv youtube where he stated there is no name change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjCVTxmHZXA&t=5s
In addition, they've also announced a series tour/shows and they are billed as Bone Thugs N Harmony.
(I attempted to add a link to ticket-master strictly for purposes of showing that they are Billed as Bone Thugs N Harmony. Did not realize about black lists on Wikipedia).
A promotional deal with Buffalo Wild Wings doesn't constitute an actual name change with the group.02:45, 23 February 2020 (UTC)Illogicalmethod (talk)

Hi Larry -- I see you have understandably taken exception to my recent edit of "chicano" topic. The reliability of my source for the addition is as follows: My father, R.H. Phillips, graduated high school in the late '20s and was awarded the school's Latin medal. He also spent a good deal of time speaking with migrant farmworkers in Washington state, and after graduation drove to la Paz with his brother in a model T. He kept up a lifelong correspondence with a friend from school, who had emigrated permanently to Mexico City. Although not benefiting from frequent practice, his linguistic chops were occasionally confirmed by others: our neighbor in the '60s, Mr. Fred Mendoza, could hardly believe he had not lived in Mexico. (Hard to say what impressed him more -- that, or his appetite for hot peppers!) The translation provided by him to me was elicited by the rise of the Chicano movement when I was in school, c. 1969.108.202.119.242 (talk) 17:42, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Larry Hockett, greetings. Thank you for your message. Please, I´m learning how to insert a reference in Wikipedia, and considering your advise, I´m doing something wrong. Sorry for that. At first, reading your recommended guidelines, I thought that was due article 6, since the reference point to an article of a scientific journal that isn´t open access (Sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content are not allowed). For this reason, I understand and commit to the policy, since the purpose of the Wikipedia is to share open knowledge. I didn´t realize that when I linked. It makes no sense to point to a page where you need pay to get access, and the only info available is the abstract. However, I saw other topics at Wikipedia where there is scientific citations pointing to articles where I cannot´t access. Therefore, is this the issue I´m facing, or the problem were another? Please, if you can be more specific about what happened, I´d like to correct and follow the community guidelines in order to contribute in the most appropriate way for the topic. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:7F5:280:1C12:6076:2441:70DB:3D9C (talk) 21:15, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Larry, I made an addition to the Wikipedia page concerning Nimrod, the biblical figure, but unfortunately, it was removed by a bot for being 'less than neutral'. I don't know quite what this means but I can assure that my edit was entirely informative and unbiased. My addition was a section underneath 'Music' called 'Video Games', where it describes how Nimrod is the character controlled by the player in the 2018 survival horror game Agony. If you could please review and re-add my edit, that would be great. I additionally find it worth noting that I have very limited experience regarding informative/educational contributions to Wikipedia's pages.

I'm happy to look for a source for routes of infection that it more to your taste. Or leave out "The primary" and replace it with "A" if that it sufficient. But I'm not sure why you removed the referencees to foot and arm handles which seemed entirely properly sourched?Universal Kakistocrat (talk) 22:47, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Further to the above, is this: https://apic.org/monthly_alerts/dont-touch-your-face/ an acceptable supporting source for the statment "Touching the mucous membranes on your face with infected hands allows germs that cause respiratory infections to enter the body."?Universal Kakistocrat (talk) 23:02, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
Ok. I've put wording in line with your suggestion and changed the sources. WRT the inclusion of references to infection: these amendments were posted in a section called "infection control". Given this is the largest area of development in door handles at the moment I'd suggest that the section should stay. With this in mind, shall I reinstate the reference to infection and the APIC source?
I'll be grateful for more clarity on sources quality because I'm about to make a much bigger change to this page. Your original and subsequent delete with respect to the handles (not the medical claim) was on the basis that these were not independent sources. From my reading of WP:USESPS this is not the right criterion in these cases. 4.2.3 states that a self-published source is acceptable where 'The very existence of the source supports the statement. For example, for the statement, "Members of his own party criticized his actions," self-published blogs by party members which contained such critical posts would be acceptable as a source. Similarly, for the statement "The organization purchased full-page advertisements in major newspapers advocating gun control," the advertisement(s) in question could be cited as sources, even though advertisements are self-published.'
In the current case with the arm handle, the statement was that arm handles existed. The source supports the statement, in accordance with 4.2.3 so I'm not clear why you see it as problematic.
Likewise with the statement about the foot handle: the statement was that foot handles existed. WP:USEPRIMARY addresses the use of primary sources. In section 4 is states:
'Material based on primary sources can be valuable and appropriate additions to articles. However, primary sources may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements that any educated person—with access to the source but without specialist knowledge—will be able to verify are directly supported by the source. This person does not have to be able to determine that the material in the article or in the primary source is true. The goal is only that the person could compare the primary source with the material in the Wikipedia article, and agree that the primary source actually, directly says just what the article says it does. '
In the present case, the source directly supports the statement that foot handles exist. Again, I'm not clear why you see it as problematic.
The reason I am taking so much care is that I am about to try to correct a mis-statement on the page which is egregiously wrong and defies commmon-sense experience - but which is widely propagated by secondary sources. The statement in question is that Osbourn Doursey invented the doorknob in 1878. The claim seems to be based on the fact that he happened to include a drawing of a doorknob in a patent (US 210764). But the patent has nothing to do with the knob; it is just an item included in the drawing, along with a picture of a door.
Anyone who had visited a late 18th Century house - Monticello for example - will realise immediately that the statement is wrong. Doorknobs became popular no later than the mid 1700s:
https://ewh.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/EWH-Ironmongery-Guide.pdf
https://www.oldhouseonline.com/interiors-and-decor/knobs-latches-and-levers
Doursey's was not even the earliest US patent showing a doorknob:
https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/98/65/67/6b9bcaee432e40/US2904.pdf https://patents.google.com/patent/US65A/en?q=(knob)&before=priority:18500101&after=priority:18300101&oq=(knob)+before:priority:18500101+after:priority:18300101
show two examples of patents directly related to doorknobs from before 1845, showing they were by then an established technology
From my interpretation of the Wikipedia guidelines all of the above are high-quality verifiable sources. But I'd be grateful if you confirm this before I make changes. I'd rather be sure of the acceptability of sources before correcting such a widely propagated error.Universal Kakistocrat (talk) 14:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
On the back of this I'd like to expand the history of handles section more widely. Most of the search sites, including Google, don't distinguish between doorknobs and doorhandles. So if interrogated "When was the door handles invented" they come back with 1878.
Is this https://www.buildingconservation.com/articles/doors/door_furniture.htm an acceptable source for handles 1500-1750? I'll push back further in due course. The Bernward Doors date from 500 years earlier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Universal Kakistocrat (talk • contribs) 14:55, 12 July 2020 Universal Kakistocrat (talk) 14:58, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Larry, regarding the page I created on Joe Biden's Honors I attempted a name change because I don't think it is a list of awards (State Honors are different from awards). I understand that I messed up a little bit. Is there a way you could change the Title back to the original of 'Honors of Joe Biden' ? I Tried to change it back to Honors of Joe Biden but was for some reason wikipedia could not make the change. currently 'Honors of Joe Biden' is a redirect to the current page and i am unaware of how to change a redirected title to being the main title of the page. let me know if you can help.
I meant no malice by my actions

I Changed the Joe Biden Honors Article to List of honors received by Joe Biden. So It works with the American English and the 'List of' description. What do you think of that ? Let me know.
