Hi, if you want to leave me a message please do...

Some of the people I introduce to wikipedia have difficulty with factual information being changed. Here is my take on Truth.

• Observable Truth

An idea or concept which can be independently verified. e.g. The number three.

The word three is an invention but the number concept of an integer one bigger than two is an observable truth.

• Agreeable Truth

An idea or concept that a group of people agree to be The Truth. Other groups may have a different view.

The symbol for three i.e. 3 (a line with three end points) is the commonly used symbol in modern times. In the past (and today?) other symbols have been used.

In wikipedia we have a combination of Observable Truths and Agreeable Truths. --Brian R Hunter (talk) 10:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-22T10:41:00.000Z","author":"Brian R Hunter","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Brian_R_Hunter-2008-03-22T10:41:00.000Z-Truth","replies":[]}}-->

Thanks for your support, how can one tell between a bot and an actual user, I would think that human administrators are capable of distinguishing between vandalism and cleaning up. I noticed that when I logged in, and stopped editing under an anonymous IP, the accusations stopped; is there a bias against people without accounts?Storms991 (talk) 01:17, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-23T01:17:00.000Z","author":"Storms991","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Storms991-2008-03-23T01:17:00.000Z-Wrong_Accusations","replies":["c-Brian_R_Hunter-2008-03-25T06:52:00.000Z-Storms991-2008-03-23T01:17:00.000Z"]}}-->

Some editors have noted that most vandalism is done by anonymous users so they habitually check those edits. Sometimes they get it wrong. Vandalism is a big problem but it does not excuse the false positives that careless editors make which can cause a lot of ill feeling. Good bots like ClueBot (talk · contribs) have details on how they are used and seem to make few mistakes. Real people sometimes use tools to help them like Huggle; indiscriminate use can lead to mistakes. --Brian R Hunter (talk) 06:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-25T06:52:00.000Z","author":"Brian R Hunter","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Brian_R_Hunter-2008-03-25T06:52:00.000Z-Storms991-2008-03-23T01:17:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Brian R Hunter. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

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

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, 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 troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:53, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-10-14T03:53:00.000Z","author":"Juliancolton","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Juliancolton-2019-10-14T03:53:00.000Z-Rollback_granted","replies":[]}}-->

Hi Brian R Hunter! I'm just leaving you a message in response to the AIV report you filed for this user account. First, I'll start by saying that the user's edits were definitely vandalism and the report you filed at AIV was a good one - I've blocked the user as a vandalism-only account. I just wanted to let you know about this section of Wikipedia's policies on user pages. Specifically, users are allowed to remove messages, notes, warnings, and notices from their own user talk pages. There are some notices and tags that they cannot remove from their own user talk pages (they are listed at the section I linked you to), but these weren't present on the user's talk page. No worries, though... I didn't know about this policy until someone messaged me about it after seeing me do the exact same thing that you did. ;-) Anyways, if you have any questions, just let me know and I'll be happy to answer them. Just ping me in your responses here so that I'm notified. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:45, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-10-24T18:45:00.000Z","author":"Oshwah","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Oshwah-2019-10-24T18:45:00.000Z-Zachary_LL.","replies":["c-Brian_R_Hunter-2019-10-24T19:11:00.000Z-Oshwah-2019-10-24T18:45:00.000Z"],"displayName":"~Oshwah~"}}-->

Hi Brian, I have just received a message that you removed my edit on LGBT in Africa. I am confused because I don't ever remember reading this page, let alone doing an edit. As far as I know I have never made an edit on Wiki. Can you explain?

@41.202.241.5: Hi Gary, I left a message on the talk page of an IP user, that is an unregistered user at the IP address 41.202.241.5

is probably a shared IP address so is not necessarily you, just someone using the same IP. To avoid problems like this, please create yourself a registered user. They are free and it ensures the posts you make do not get confused with someone else.

Also, note that your message was unsigned by you (there is more than one Gary on here). You can sign any comments automatically by adding ~~~~ at the end of your message.

By the way, this edit to the LGBT rights in Africa page is the only edit made by your IP address since 2017.

You reverted my edit on Caerphilly. I removed long detailed descriptions of local transport which provides too much information for an encyclopedia and is liable to change anyway.

Hi, while there maybe some excess detail; I felt it not warrant an 'undo'. If you want to refactor the page by changing some of the additional information, I would see it as a better way forward.

Is this the talk page? Just asking, I'm not exactly sure.

Anyways, If wondering about that minor change in Anthony Daniels, it was something that needed to be fixed up. As A Star Wars, and a C-3P0 fan, I know for any factor he did in fact NOT appeared in a Lilo and Stitch cartoon. I've checked the episode and nether was he or his character appeared in it.

I really wasn't finding the appeal for that to be untrue to other who read it, so it really had to be changed.

The wikidata description is one additional word and only a few characters over the 40 'limit' (which is allowed) but I have reverted back to your revision after re-reading Wikipedia:Short_description.

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

The article Elizabeth Spender has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Your edits to Battle_of_Phillora messed up the info box as you deleted part of a citation template. It was easier to undo your changes than to try and work out what you meant to change.
