I’d like to extend a formal apology for recent edits. While I have been editing and contributing to what I felt was towards the consensus, I realize that it is not what others see and has resulted in a back and forth between other editors and myself. I’ve decided to refrain towards major edits towards the South Park related articles until a final decision be made on the film series page, and even then I will be doing my best to abide by the consensus in a more direct way. One again, my apologies for any trouble or hassle over the past few days. [[User:Zvig47|Zvig47]] ([[User talk:Zvig47|talk]]) 03:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

== Types of chocolate ==

Wikipedia editors are supposed to assume good faith (at all times), this is something our civil society thrives on and so do I, but apparently not yourself. This article is a mix between general information, international law and technical knowledge. Why you insist on UK and EU unity is beyond me, their laws are distinct and the directive you so kindly found does not any longer include the UK, legally. It says "Addressee: The fifteen Member States: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden, United Kingdom" so keep your edit, if you were focused on "Good Faith" or if you assumed it, you would have edited it to '''make it ring true or be an authoritative section'''. EU laws simply no longer apply to any members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Right now the way it stands people doing research will be forced to closely examine the law to decide if they are in the UK or in the EU which laws apply to them. '''France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK''' '''all have their own laws''' and regulations regarding chocolate as well as exceed the directive you so kindly found which I did not. So thanks for finding that, just keep your roll-back reversion, leave people without additional information and be extra happy with your great accomplishment of doing nothing except wasting my time and effort trying to collaborate at Wikipedia as a volunteer. Arbitrators are not judges, they are mediators their opinions force the entities to come to a resolution, you did neither and pulled a Donald Trump move with no apparent benefit to anyone except your own ego. [[User:Problemsmith|Problemsmith]] ([[User talk:Problemsmith|talk]]) 16:11, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

:{{u|Problemsmith}}: You appear to be missing the point. By moving the United Kingdom to its own section, you made it appear that the definitions given in the European Union table do not apply in the UK. But the two supplied references give details of the law in both the EU and the UK. They are identical, therefore there is no requirement to list the UK separately. [[User:Barry Wom|Barry Wom]] ([[User talk:Barry Wom#top|talk]]) 16:25, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

:ETA: Strictly speaking, they are not absolutely identical, but the issue of the use of "Family Milk Chocolate" is covered in the introduction to the section. [[User:Barry Wom|Barry Wom]] ([[User talk:Barry Wom#top|talk]]) 16:35, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

:: I see you were there '''butchering the whole article including edits that have been there a long time'''. Swiss chocolate and Belgian chocolate '''are types of chocolate''' that are made by them; encyclopedias and databases including the Library of Congress recognize Dutch cocoa, Belgian and Swiss chocolate as chocolate types but not {{u|Barry Wom}}. You are a Wikipedia spoiler, there is no international authority on chocolate except the WIPO and UNCITRAL, you are certainly not the expert on this nor would they even let you in the room; chocolate is defined by many characteristics who, what, when and where. Who told you that a cup of hot Dutch cocoa is not called chocolate, it is and your edits are destructive, one sided and based on common logic not the market or the law. None of your edits were made in "Good Faith" or to provide additional reliable information. I strongly suggest reverting all the deletions from the article because they are insulting to the chocolate industry and defeat the very idea of operating in good faith against me and three other editors I do not know. Your conduct is alienating and frustrating to good Wikipedia editors. [[User:Problemsmith|Problemsmith]] ([[User talk:Problemsmith|talk]]) 16:44, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

:::{{u|Problemsmith}} I removed three sections which were added no later than two days ago, so hardly "edits that have been there a long time".

:::Belgian chocolate is simply chocolate made in Belgium. Swiss chocolate is chocolate made in Switzerland. Both countries manufacture different ''types of chocolate''. Dutch process cocoa is a type of cocoa, not a type of chocolate. These surely aren't difficult concepts to grasp.

The photo of the silver tabby Maine Coon that you provided is beautiful. I actually never knew that such a color existed in the breed, let alone in the cat world. Thank you for finding it and putting it into the Maine Coon article! – Ms. Sarita Confer 10:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for keeping an eye on the Maine Coon article. Between two jobs, part-time school, and a full-time boyfriend, I have not had ANY time to come in and keep an eye on it. So, thank you! – Ms. Sarita Confer 20:48, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

70mm films

Ok, sorry to add irrelevant stuff to List of 70 mm films; I was wikifying Around the World (1967 film) and wanted to make sure it didn't get lost if it belonged. Nice of you to tell me. :) Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 15:04, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

For quickly finding and adding a source for a quotation in the Pat Tillman article instead of just complaining that there wasn't any, like some folks were doing, including me. GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:06, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Pat Tillman, and the quotation/censorship debate,

In order to clarify, I am asking users to briefly, clearly state which version of the quotation they support or oppose.

Please see Talk:Pat_Tillman#Clarifying_for_consensus

I am sending this message to everyone who has previously participated in the discussion; I do not wish to make any assumptions of the previous opinion.

I want to show clear consensus, so the issue can be resolved and edit-warring can be prevented.

Thanks,

WP:FILMRELEASE says, "Release dates should be restricted to the film's earliest release, whether it was at a film festival or a public release, and the release date(s) in the country or countries that produced the film". For your kind information, the film was also produced in India. -- Karthik Nadar (talk) 12:53, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's right tough. -- Karthik Nadar (talk) 13:41, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
For your kind information I did not added added anything about India other than the infobox. Just recently mentioned Indian box office collection info, but have mentioned it has overseas. So please don't warn me for anything, OK? -- Karthik Nadar 08:35, 17 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Protip

Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from John Carter (film). This is much appreciated, but unfortunately your repair was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.

List of 3D films

First of all thanks for appreciating my work on the article. :) Perhaps you could also vote against merging of the 2 lists: Talk:List_of_3D_films_till_2004. --Fluffystar (talk) 11:31, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

April 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists (film), makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. — Smjg (talk) 14:55, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo usage

Hi, I'm working an an educational videogame with which I'm trying to build a bridge between animal awareness and Pokemon fans among others. It started out as something small but it's getting bigger and more professional. I saw one of your pictures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MaineCoonSilverTabby.jpg

And I would like your permission to use it under that license with the following attribution: Barry Wom

Also, because I want to make sure there's no misunderstanding, you are the original photographer correct? It sometimes happens that another person simply takes a picture from somebody else and uploads it to wikipedia with a license to distribute. That is why I'm asking.

There is more information on the game here, including a short video that tells a little bit about the background: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/238178285/animalalbum

I also have a demo version of the game available so you can see for yourself in what way the pictures are presented: http://dromedarydreams.com/index/demo/0-8

Please let me know if I have your permission, if the picture is yours and if you want a different attribution.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Staines–Windsor line, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Metropolitan Water Board (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Tutankhamun Page Vandalism & Editing Disruption Accusation

Barry you have accused me of vandalism of the Tutankhamun page and threatened to ban me from editing. This is an unfair accusation. I have given sufficient argumentation for updating the Tutankhamun page image. Wikipedia does not say anywhere in any rules that the most famous image should be the wikipedia page image. The page image should be the image that is the best depiction of the person. Wikimedia Commons has a great image of his mannequin, which is a fully painted depiction of him. I linked the mannequin image to his page because it better represents his appearance than his gold mask.SmoovOpr8r (talk) 15:53, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see any input from you on the change of image. You didn't even supply an edit summary.
Wikipedia does not specify that the lead image should be the most famous one. Neither does it specify that it should be "the image that is the best depiction of the person", as you claim. It does, however, state that it should give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page and the mask image clearly performs this function.
If you want to discuss this further, take it to the talk page. Barry Wom (talk) 16:11, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi Barry Wom. After reviewing your request, I have rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism (intentional damage to the encyclopedia) only, and not good faith edits (including accidental damage to the encyclopedia).
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

For some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:08, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Geldof at Rebellion 2015

If the mention of national headlines were removed, then Geldof's onstage remarks would at least be verifiable content in themselves.

The trouble with verifying the headlines, as with any wave of tabloid-related notoriety, is that since the headlines themselves appeared in banned sources such as [1] therefore the only means of verifying the existence of the headlines would be for a reliable source (such as a broadsheet newspaper) to comment on the tabloid coverage (as opposed to directly covering the story - which they might still do but in a more low-key fashion not constituting headline coverage in its own right). Highbrow roundups of tabloid ravings are sadly rare and hard to trace (Punch used to do a good such section back in the day.) Romomusicfan (talk) 17:49, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you got any further examples? I've been through the first half dozen pages of results in a Google search and the only one that comes up is the Irish Sun example you've supplied.
Thing is, I'm not convinced that the incident was either newsworthy or notable enought to include. I was in the audience that night and all that happened was some brief booing and a handful of walkouts. A friend of mine was at a previous gig on their tour and reported that Geldof did exactly the same shtick at that one too. Together with the Brentwood festival, that makes at least three gigs at which this happened. I strongly suspect that the setlist contained an item like "Bob behaves like a cunt to the audience".
(And if this is the most controversial moment in the 25-year history of Rebellion, maybe punk really is dead!) Barry Wom (talk) 09:40, 12 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore and warn

You are violating WP:BRD. You should read the article you mentioned again. There is a talk page discussion that explains this issue further. You should also learn what WP:STATUSQUO is. ภץאคгöร 18:22, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why would I bother to report your inability to read articles? I don't care, no one does. ภץאคгöร 18:51, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You accused me of violating WP:BRD. Don't you want to report that?
Thought not. Barry Wom (talk) 18:55, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You also don't know what warning (warn) is? And you like to report people you "warn"? It would be somewhat sad if someone actually cared. ภץאคгöร 19:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So it's just a warning I got? Excellent. I think I might know what that is. No idea about the "ignore" part though. Barry Wom (talk) 19:14, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
