The category Liberal Parties in the United States is remining not yet deleted. About Real Politics Union i say you clearly that's a libertarian, conservative and eurosceptic party or libertarian conservative and eurosceptic party not conservative liberal party there is a difference, i hope you understand. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adn1990 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand. But libertarianism has both liberal and conservative traits. You don't seem to get the fact that I agree with you, but you need to start a discussion on the talk page,

original research is not a reason to change content. —Josh3580_talk/hist 04:57, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

You say that libertarianism has both liberal and conservative traits, but your meaning it's an american sense which primarly promotes both fiscally conservative and socially liberal. For normal meaning especially european that conservative liberalism is a variant of liberalism (not Modern American liberalism) combining liberal values and policies with conservative (not American conservative) stances. So that's all i hope you enjoying my message, Thanks. - User:Adn1990_talk/hist 06:20, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You still don't get it. I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU. But you have to cite a

Hello Josh3580. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Jacqueline Vaissière, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Shirt58 (talk) 10:24, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain as to why you have reverted my edits saying it is vandalism. The most common name used is ROYAL COLLEGE HORANA for my school. Are you just deleting pages to show that what ever you do is right and a new comer like me does is wrong ?. Do a google search and see what comes up for ROYAL COLLEGE HORANA. The most common name for the school is the most appropriate name to be used. (Niroshvthanaw (talk) 12:59, 29 December 2013 (UTC)).[reply]

I absolutely can, but I'm not sure how much it will help, as you have since been blocked for using

Sockpuppet accounts. You removed all of the information on the page, and replaced it with a redirect. You left no explanation in your edit summary, nor did you discuss removing the content on the article's talk page. Removing content without an explanation or discussion does appear to be vandalism, and the way to get around that if it is a good-faith edit is by simply giving an explanation or participating in a discussion. Hope this helps. —Josh3580_talk/hist 00:53, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply

Hello Josh3580. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Olly Cunningham, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not made up. It's about a character on Hollyoaks. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 19:19, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. Thank you for contributing, and for striving to do things the correct way. Check out WP:Citing sources and Help:Referencing for beginners. If you add content that is properly sourced, yes it can most definitely remain. Good luck, and always feel free to ask for help. You can request help by going to your talk page, click edit, and add {{helpme}} followed by your question. Someone will get in touch with you as soon as they are able. —Josh3580_talk/hist 18:25, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Josh

You recently edited my article about Stamicarbon - thank you for your contribution it is much appreciated. According to an e-mail I have received, the Stamicarbon article has been created. Has this article been approved yet? If yes, why can I not find the article when I type it in the Wikipedia search box? Looking forward to your feedback. Kind regards, Chantal Cspies (talk) 08:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article is definitely there. Here is the link: Stamicarbon

Simply typing the word Stamicarbon in the Wikipedia search box and hitting enter takes you directly to the article. It may have just taken a moment for everything to point to the right place. Hope this helps. —Josh3580_talk/hist 06:35, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I explained it in the Talk page TWICE. Just letting you know that, perhaps you'd like to read it.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 03:54, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can't just say, "that's crap" and remove it without gaining a consensus. You already know this, based on your block history. —Josh3580_talk/hist 03:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No Josh, I can. What is on the Wikipedia page is completely untrue of characters - it is a lie. It is as if someone wrote, David Cameron is a fascist on Wikipedia and used a dishonest website to describe it as a 'reliable source'. It is completely and utterly untrue. As an editor, I would not doing my duty by entertaining such nonsense. As for my edit history, yours clearly show that you have not really edited on EastEnders which suggests to me that you are doing this deliberately to bully me. YOU are reverting the page back and you are using your role as editor. In order to continue your bullying. I don't think that is acceptable and I won't entertain it.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 04:09, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If what you say about the sources is true, you will find it very easy to gain

WP:CONSENSUS.-Josh3580_talk/hist 04:12, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply

That is a very weak answer and you know it. Have you watched EastEnders before and have you edited before on the show? Just answer that. Secondly, if you are a viewer can you explain to me very clearly how Roxy Mitchell is a villain? Also, if you haven't watched the show or edited, why did you (knowingly) revert it back to its original content without any knowledge. Did you deliberately want to cause trouble? I have looked at the sources and some of them have not used the word 'villain' but have put there by the very people who take control of the site. Think again.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 04:19, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The fact remains Josh3580, is that you are biased and you don't watch the show. Therefore, you are suited to make any judgement.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 05:11, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Josh3580 does not deserve this ranting. EastEnders viewer or not. The obvious is that you are trying to game the system - in regards to what editors have already decided on the very talk page you seem insistent on making unstable by removing mass sourced content. You already broke the policy on edit warring. This user needs taking to the blockhouse one last time. Please do not target an editor with such good intentions as Josh3580 so clearly has.Rain the 1 04:33, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are a bully who is clearly not hung at all. I am not trying to game the system, I am merely trying to show that there are lies on a Wikipedia page. If editors decide to write that Margaret Thatcher is a bully with a source that has made a mistake (or they use the wrong source) does that constitute as the truth? You are a bully and a fool (you don't know what the word 'villain' means) and perhaps, seeing as you vandalised a page and bullied an editor, you should be blocked. Never make false edits again.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 05:11, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A strong accusation. As Josh3580 has already pointed out, please avoid making personal attacks and keep discussion based on appropriate article.Rain the 1 05:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are a bully and I being honest is not a personal attack. You need to realise that you are completely wrong and any EastEnders viewer will tell you that. Unfortunately, your attitude (which I believe to be completely obnoxious) and your pride, makes you unable to work constructively. It is a great shame which is why I have reported you.--AngieWattsFan (talk) 05:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You could not report the weather. No one will fall for your wikigaming games. Funniest case for 3xR, SPI, AVI, this, that, etc ever...Rain the 1 05:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please take care of Under My Skin (Avril Lavigne album)? Better check those unreliable genre tags and others.

Thank you very much. I was afraid I was giving off the odor of edit-warring myself, but it is obvious vandalism in this case. —Josh3580_talk/hist 22:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please be more careful about issuing warnings about edits that are not obvious vandalism. No entries were removed, and an edit summary was used, so it wasn't "unexplained". Please familiarize yourself with

I didn't threaten you, I issued the standard warning template for removal of content. You got a Level 3 warning automatically, based on the previous warnings by

Hi Josh3580: I need to mix you text and mine to enrich without promoting: therefore I need to reload the old version, except if you can advise me how to mix 2 different version? Thx  ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SergioR (talk • contribs) 17:52, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that

starting from scratch, if you are willing to do the research. It would be a very good idea to start a discussion on the article's talk page, asking other editors for assistance. I warned you earlier, because you were removing content without discussion, which is against the policy with very few exceptions (see WP:Vandalism). However, I do want to thank you for contributing, and for wanting to improve the content of Wikipedia. It takes people like you to keep this project going. But you might want to poke around the policies to familiarize yourself with them. Much of the vital stuff can be found in the welcome message I just posted to your talk page. Hope this helps! —Josh3580_talk/hist 18:48, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply

I don't know why you insist that Black (when referring to race) should be lower case black or why you would have a problem with it being capitalized. But I'll change it to Afro-American or do you have a problem with that too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Gruber (talk • contribs) 12:03, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't insist anything. I just informed you that you must cite some sort of

reliable source for such a stylistic change. For example, The University of Texas at Austin recommends the exact opposite of the change you wished to make. See UT's writer style guide, which recommends that proper names for races, such as "Caucasian" or "African-American" should always be capitalized, while "white" or "black" should never be capitalized when referring to race. Hope this clarifies things. I am not promoting some sort of agenda here, as you can see by my edit history. I'm just promoting consistency across articles. —Josh3580_talk/hist 16:18, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply

Current correct English name is Moldova and the adjective is of course Moldovan. "Moldavia/Moldavian" was used before 1991 in English language as it was simply transliterated from the Russian "Молдавия" (Moldavia). Before 1991 Moldova was part of Russia/Russian Empire and all provincies carried the Russian names translisterated directly into English. Moldavia/Moldavian is no longer used in English language after the adoption of Moldova/Moldovan names after 1991 (break of Soviet Union and Moldovan Independence). Here is a link for the U.S. Embassy in Moldova showing the correct name Moldova/Moldovan on all pages: http://moldova.usembassy.gov/. Here is a recent NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/27/nyregion/a-restaurant-in-brooklyn-offers-the-food-and-feeling-of-moldova.html?_r=0.

Thank you for explaining, that makes perfect sense. In the future, include a short explanation in your edit summary. If you had used the first sentence in your above comment as an edit summary, the reasoning for your change would have already been clear. When someone leaves the edit summary blank, it becomes difficult for a recent changes patroller to divine the editor's intentions. Thank you for contributing to the project, and for your quick and clear response. —Josh3580_talk/hist 17:58, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi not sure how this works. I deleted Guadalajara 2024 bid page because it says Guadalajara was one of the bids for 2024 when the 2024 olympic bidding process hasn't started. It also lies and says the games were to be held in Guadalajara which is not at all true as no city has won the rights to the 2024 games yet. Generally because the olympic bidding process for 2024 hasn't started therefore these pages shouldn't exist. Therefore it should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.211.18.16 (talk) 05:27, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Thank you for wanting to be sure that only correct information is included in the article. You are probably correct that this article should not be here, and that is why it has been nominated for deletion here. Keep in mind that only administrators can actually delete entire pages, and unilaterally blanking pages without discussion is considered

I placed a dicussion on talk here[1] I reverted because there was no discussion[[2]] since January 1, it was only on population. One editor moved content out and never used talk, sources were deleted and taken out without making a discussion about that content removed. Sources were removed without talk, that should be discussed first.

If you look, there was two editors, one changed this much with talk here[3]. Why isn't this person being questioned? There was no discussion what that person did? I placed a discussion on talk, I am doing the right thing by questioning and asking to use talk first.--185.35.164.107 (talk) 20:57, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
