Earlier, I reverted a huge, unexplained, non-English addition to the article Westphalia, Iowa, because it appeared to be either a test edit, or a mass copy-paste from another project. Here is the diff of my revision: [1] You undid this reversion, and gave me a vandalism warning. I am a recent changes patroller myself, so I try to follow WP:VAN very closely. What do you believe I should have done instead of reverting? I had assumed from the lack of an edit summary that the user was just playing around with a live article. You flagged me for an unconstructive edit, although I left the basic "test edit" edit summary from WP:Huggle, which I thought clearly explained my actions. —Josh3580talk/hist 00:33, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting me. I should reconsider my edits for this article. I desire to make them as constructive as possible. FranklynJimenez777 (talk) 01:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC) |
Thank you for your check on my contribution. According to talk page, I believed that this change made by IP is vandalism. Please check talk page and decide what to do, or did I made something wrong. Thanks and BR.--CER@ (??ask??) 08:00, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
I have left you a response on my talk page. BlitzGreg (talk) 12:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding. I understand the appeal, to many editors, of tools that let you make lots of edits without the tiresome burden of having to understand what you're doing; but I must insist that you stop and look at what you're doing, and think about policies before clicking the button. I eagerly await your reply on my talkpage. Type it yourself instead of using an irrelevant template. Why did you repeatedly add large amounts of text which fails WP:V? bobrayner (talk) 19:40, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to List of megaprojects. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. bobrayner (talk) 19:46, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
You are jeopardizing your rollbacker right with your recent edits. Please familiarize yourself with WP:Vandalism, WP:Do not template the regulars and Wikipedia:STiki before resuming the exercise of your rollback privilege. If you are unclear on any of the details discussed on the pages I've linked here, please ask for help from more experienced editors. I would also advise slowing down when you are making use of the rollback privilege. Regards Tiderolls 20:59, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Leoesb1032, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Re: gatorade as oral rehydration, I feel that the statement "Subsequent studies have suggested that Gatorade is at least as effective in treating dehydration as oral rehydration salts for adults[57] or Pedialyte for children between the ages of 5 and 12.[58]" is misleading.
Looking at the first study, here are a few issues with the statement: 1. They look only at mild dehydration (defined as <5% TBW) from viral gastroenteritis 2. This is not generalizable to all severities of dehydration, or dehydration from cholera, which is discussed immediately prior in the Wikipedia article. The article itself states that due to differences in stool composition in cholera (which is a bacterial diarrhea caused by cholera toxin) gatorade would make less sense as a rehydration solution 3. The study itself was underpowered, but even so there was a trend toward electrolyte imbalance in the gatorade group not seen with the ORS 4. "We thank Gatorade Foundation for an unrestricted grant and for supplying Gatorade and the New Oral Rehydration Solution" suggests a conflict of interest
The second citation is from the same group, and is a unpublished abstract presented at a society.
Gatorade is not an bad rehydration fluid, and there are certainly much worse. But the literature does not support the statement that it is as effective as oral rehydration salts in "treating dehydration." Futhermore, the broader literature on ORS would suggest that something with only 18meq/L of Na and 3 of K is far from ideal.
I appreciate your time. The reason I feel this is important is that I feel that a fair number of my patients get their medical info from Wikipedia and I do not feel that the statement is medically sound. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.76.157.163 (talk) 19:02, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, concerning Advertisements in schools, please note that the article did include a number of weasel words (for instance "Many argue that..."). In addition, websites like debate.org are not reliable sources (see this information about what constitutes a reliable source). Finally, original research is both facts that we "know" ourselves (for instance, that students should not be disturbed by ads seems like such a fact, but it really needs a source). In addition, if we take fact A from one source and fact B from another source and draw our own conclusion C from it, we can't add C to the article unless it is also covered in a reliable source - that's known as synthesis of facts. Rather than restore the templates, I've edited the article to try to fix these issues for now. Thanks! --bonadea contributions talk 10:15, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Why did you remove my edit on Tirangaa. I am an Indian. This movie was released in 1992 and became a blockbuster. Unfortunately I couldn't find any link. But in your case you must watch this video [2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZORDANLIGHTER (talk • contribs) 04:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
What i wanted to say was that I know that the movie is successful. Actually the time when this movie was released at that time there was no internet critics in India in the year 1992. critics appeared in newspaper and film magazines. There is no website copy of that. Indian news agencies are not that advanced like newyorktimes who have updated all old news. I have read in so many magazines that this movie was successfull.The link of boxofficeindia is dead this link might work http://ibosnetwork.com/asp/filmbodetails.asp?id=TirangaaZORDANLIGHTER (talk) 16:32, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Leoesb1032. In the Steve Capus page I think that is just to emphasize in the idea that the allegation have not been proven yet. Everybody deserves be innocent if anybody can prove other thing.
Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felipe Barrull (talk • contribs) 09:08, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
Edit to place Washington Monument as tallest monument looks to be correct. However just because there is a statement on another Wikipedia page stating something it doesn't mean it is correct. Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference for itself. Robynthehode (talk) 22:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
