Swastika
It seems the text you have taken from that website was clearly a copyright violation (unless you are the author, of course). I have removed the verbatim quote for now, but feel free to summarize the information in you own words! [[User:Dbachmann|
I am the author--Bob Kobres--and both of the images were created by me. The Han silk image is a very degraded bitonal of a portion of the artifact (academic fair use) and has been on my website for years--the other image is entirely my creation. http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/bronze.html
- fine. In this case, of course, we are not dealing with copyright violation. I hope, however, that you realize that your text will be "edited mercilessly and redistributed at will"; i. e. it will have to be dab (T) ]] 15:39, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Hi, I wonder if you have any comments to add to the discussion about your recent additions to this page. I for one think there is now too much bird-foot theory. Perhaps it could go in a spin-off article. The images from Schliemann are very useful and it might be desirable to discuss his reading of them as "swastikas" in realition to other possible accounts, but there's always been a tendency for this article to go off on tangents, and we have to keep that under control.

External links
I note you are adding a large number of external links to the University of Georgia's archives. In general, this is very useful. However, there are a few things you should take into consideration:
- The customary heading for the section is ==External links==
- "Java" is not an acronym, it's a proper noun, so only the first letter should be capitalized.
- Be careful about what articles you add the links to: for example, you added a link to a collection of WWI and WWII posters to the World War article. However, the article was about large-scale wars in general, so such a specific link was out of place. I've moved it to the article on Propaganda.

Copyright at Consumers' cooperative question
Please tag the long extract from Co-operation with a footnote explaining why you think it is public domain. I am concerned it may still be copyright its original author, as it is around 72 years old. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 15:35, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Consumers' Cooperative
Hi there. I was discouraged by your recent reversion of my edits on
- I agree that the article had become sloppy but I think that piece from the 1934 periodical is important in that it rather succinctly distinguishes consumers' from producers' cooperatives as well as brings out the progressive democratic social values of consumer owned free (not state controlled or run) enterprise. In particular I think that it is important to emphasize that consumers' cooperatives are a form of free enterprise (a term you omitted from the first paragraph). Thanks for the feedback.

WP:COIN
Hello Bkobres. An article that you have contributed to is being discussed
- Hello again. Thank you for joining the discussion at COIN. Can I ask you to consider reverting your own contribution, which greatly exceeds the 200-word limit? Please consider replacing it with a statement that fits within 200 words. See the top of the page for the rules. EdJohnston 22:53, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
It seems that you have boxed up my reply. I have no problem with moving the discussion to the discussion page of the article in question. What I was trying to convey is that the article, which was originally added to the swastika article in December of 2004, is not only about the relation of the swastika to the foot of a bird and should not be deleted due to the quality of the SIS publication. I've also negated the OR aspect of the piece by providing earlier contentions that the swastika was associated with the foot of a bird as well as the Astika parva in Mahabharata.

Russell L. Ackoff
Thank you very much for uploading the very nice image of Russell L. Ackoff. I moved the image from Wikipedia to Wikicommons right away, so I could introduced the image in the Russian and Dutch article on Ackoff. Thanks again for making this possible. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 22:40, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Dryas
Pursuant to the ongoing nonsense at that article, note that Gaba has accused you of edit-warring (as he did me recently, with an admin then swooping in to deliver a 24hr block without warning under curious circumstances). I've reported him here. As you could be the recipient of the next unfounded block, you might wish to defend yourself ahead of time.--Froglich (talk) 11:27, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

- avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
- instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the

May 2016
When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to Solutrean hypothesis, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
- If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
- If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. The YouTube link is an obvious copyright violation, and the article itself doesn't mention the Solutrean so we can't use it do discuss the Solutrean hypothesis Doug Weller talk 20:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

PNAC
Please help me defend the truth from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Goethean, as he always tries to keep PNAC's statement about genocidal bioweapons targeting certain genotypes out of PNAC's article, so nobody can see their mass-murdering, racist intensions anymore. Goethean is already banned from editing anything related to the Tea Party due to his political bias, which tries to prevent factual evidence provided by PNAC's members themselves in their main report R.A.D. It doesn't get any more official than the official institution reporting in their own official main report on their official web presence, which is back online again, still he tries to bury it deep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:1845:7400:ACBB:93F0:419E:D990 (talk) 12:52, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 22:10, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
February 2019
Your recent editing history at Younger Dryas impact hypothesis shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Project for the New American Century
You should really reconsider your addition of misleading, poorly-sourced, NPOV-violating material to Project for the New American Century. Read the source material which relates to the garbage content that this anonymous IP has added to the article. — goethean 13:05, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
