Hei Oddbodz, I am not done with the article yet, how many references should I add, there are too many out there. When I have added the required amount of references, can I remove the tag.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Woman RegardsJogibaba (talk) 22:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there. You just need to add enough which establish that the album has had a notable impact on society (eg: a review from a major either in Scandinavia or elsewhere in the world). These are particularity important on this article as the label does not have its own article and may not usually meet the notability guidelines. This would often be grounds for deletion. However I believe that due to the large number of notable artists involved, the article may be notable provided its imact can be shown. Thanks and let me know if you need any more help, Oddbodz (talk) 23:05, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- I have added 3 references now, going to add 2 more, if those are enough, can add more if you ask. As far it goes for the Label, check this album
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listen_to_the_Banned this is the same Label, Grappa and the same producer Deeyah. Valley records merely distributed Listen to the Banned.
- Yes, those references seem sufifient. I will ask another editor to have a look just to make sure (otherwise you could find it being removed at a later date) but I think it will be fine. As for the other album you mentioned, that is suitable because it has envolvment from a notable record label. Thanks and feel once I have checked with somebody else, I will remove the tags for you and notify you of the discussion on your talk page. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 23:25, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Canoe1967 also feels the article is notable so I will go and remove the relevent tags. Please note his sugestion to add it to the artists diography in their articles. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 00:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks Oddbodz, can you please tell me what is "the artists diography", sorry, this word is new for me. RegardsJogibaba (talk) 00:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, should say discography. A discography is a collection of CDs/albums released by an artist (eg:see here for Mari Boine's discography). Oddbodz (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- I will do it tomorrow, now it is 1.40AM here, going to sleep, but that would be done for sure by tomorrow. Regards Jogibaba (talk) 00:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Luminosity (scattering theory) article
Hi,
thanks for the feedback ! I actually just copied the section from the 'global' Luminosity article to this new article. But I take your comment as an invitation to try to make the article more readable to the non-expert soon. Andre.holzner (talk) 23:20, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thats great! Unfortunatly many science articles on wikipedia are written in a mannor that the non-expert wont be able to understand. Thanks for helping make it more understandable for them - Oddbodz (talk) 23:24, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
BLPPROD on Justice shivaraj patil
Just noticed you placed a BLPPROD on Justice shivaraj patil. NDTV is a reliable source and the article makes a verifiable claim to notability. Hack (talk) 13:58, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry - my mistake. I have now removed the tag. Oddbodz (talk) 14:00, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
- Not a problem, it was a bit of a mess at the time. Hack (talk) 01:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Please read Talk Page of the article "Lost years of JesusView" section: "IP WP:OR"
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I ask you to read the above section befor reverting my edits. User: History 2007 was perfectly informed why his references are wrong, too old, or this is just his private interpretations of the resources. You action was too quick and you should consider more than simple removing references by me.--207.112.105.233 (talk) 17:07, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Firstly, I never actually reverted your edits. The page is protected so that edits by un-registered editors must be approved before going live and I decided not to approve your edit as I did not feel it made a positive contribution to the article. Instead, I would view it as a potential edit war (see WP:3RR). Secondly, simply informing him that, in your opinion, they are wrong does not make it so. As is policy, it should first be discussed on the talk page and only removed if there is concensus to do so. While you have mentioned it on the talk page, from what I can see there is no agreement in favour of its removal yet you have still removed it. This is why I did not allow the edit to become live. If you still have queries, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 17:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Feeling is not the think which should direct you. You need to consider arguments, this is the reason I left you the message. You view about Edit War is not OK if you omit facts on Talk Page. If you would read the recommended section you would see he (History2007) perfectly knows why he can be/is wrong. He just chooses ignore argument and most clearly cooperation. Secondly there is no policy to stop editing without consensus (it is wrong interpretation of yours I am sure). The first issue is to provide correct and modern information - SOME EDITORS HOWEVER WILL CONTRADICT ANNY ATTEMPTS REMOVING THEIR POV OR TOUCHING THEIR SELFISHNESS. It is the higher rang editors (administrators should not play a rule of cops) to read the discussion argue himself and support truth instead kicking without thinking as simpleton cop. Sorry, it is not this time any personal offence, until now you offer me a consideration. Thanks.--207.112.105.233 (talk) 19:18, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
I will give the whole situation a more detailed review during the week as/when I have enough time. In the meantime could you just clear up for me whether you are the same user as 65.95.176.24? This will make it easier to establish who has said what. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 20:17, 14 January 2013 (UTC)- I have left a message at History2007's talk page and come across an edit war complaint that has been filed. From what I can see there and on the talk page, you have no support for the removal of the content you have taken out. I have therefore decided that I will not allow the edit to go through until History2007 has also made a coment. Once he has done so, I will make a desision as to whether a concensus has been made for the removal of this content but I don't want to make and desisions until I have heard both sides. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 20:26, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- The issue has been discussed extensively. Several editors, including me, don;t agree with 207.112.105.233's changes. We've also explained why, but it looks like he doesn't get the point. Joshua Jonathan (talk) 20:30, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- So to conferm, you also feel that I shouldn't have allowed the IP's edit to go live? Oddbodz (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- If I understand you correctly (sorry, not a native speaker): yes, you're were right not to agree with IP's edit(s). Joshua Jonathan (talk) 21:26, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Amazing waste of time by this IP. He has no opposing source whatsoever, and I am not going to waste time on this any more. Try this which is online All the People in the Bible by Richard R. Losch (May 1, 2008) ISBN 0802824544 page 209 ... says 18 years. Please add that as yet another source and end this dance. History2007 (talk) 21:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Anyway, since you seem to be offline, I added that source there anyway, so whoever has questions can just click on the link and the source is online. Per WP:V, there is no need to do personal arithmetic on this. History2007 (talk) 10:51, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I provided the modern resources which set the date of bird and date of death. It is also clear that the lost years are between the age 12 to the year(s) of ministry. I am going to introduce the time table of Jesus' live - and the reader can count himself. History2007 had been asked about the 15-18 digits - how they were counted. He however did not reveal if he counted it himself or the method used in the old sources 1989 and 1999. In that condition I feel only his stubbornness and self fluffiness only. Regarding Joshua Jonathan I will not comment very much, it is amusing that so many people assuming that number of votes NO means something in scientific work. Facts and logic are deciding – this is the rule of independent experienced editor to judge the facts and logic not the numbers of NO. I do not think the short entrance by Joshua Jonathan is factual, as well as others editors who do not provide detailed scientific info. Finally because Joshua Jonathan follows so callously History2007 I have filling the History2007 and Joshua Jonathan are the same person. Regarding the IP numbers in the discussion section all are mine enters. I do not register myself as an user since the miserable characters who make revenge on all you Wikipedia works wherever you go.--207.112.105.233 (talk) 16:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- LOL! Joshua Jonathan (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- 207.112.105.233, I have had a look and while I'm no CheckUser, from following WP:DUCK, I do not believe History2007 and Joshua Jonathan are the same person. They are both involved here because I have notified them either through their talk pages or on other discussions they are involved it (although that's not a matter for this discussion anyway). After reviewing the matter, I can see no reason why the citation should not be allowed and I (along with History2007 and Joshua Jonathan) feel that it should remain along with the fact it is citing. You must understand I am no expert on the topic and only became involved because your edit came up at Special:PendingChanges and I happened to review it. The section which you removed breaks no policies and should not have been removed - hence why I did not allow your edit to go live. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 16:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your time. Administrator who play only a rule of cop is second worst after revengeists and narcissistic editors. It is not once when History2007 and Joshua Jonathan appeared at the same moment “conversing” with me. The conflict was put on the pinhead about the citation by History2007. The citation gives wrong number thus I removed digits (not authors) after he decided to remove description of counting with different resources. I was hoping that will end the conflict. I did not. I will live the citation and digit but I will introduce appropriate table for reader to count. If History2007 will oppose I will return to you. This is unreasonable from History2007 to block any newer approach, I hope that time you will be able judge also his character. --207.112.105.233 (talk) 17:16, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
- What an amazing waste of time after all. It was the indef user:Serafin anyway. History2007 (talk) 02:41, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes it amusing waste of time considering that History2007 is wrong, block any way to display sourced facts he is wrong and goes to any possible and impossible administrator (Sheriff) to do so. I have a question where to go and write an opinion for the future if Histor2007 would ask to be administrator or something else in Wikipedia community. On his talk page he automatically remove notes which possibly can display his pretty character.--70.49.168.216 (talk) 20:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
- It is quite obvious (following WP:DUCK) that your are acting on behalf of 207.112.105.233. I am now closing this conversation - please go away. Oddbodz (talk) 21:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Your recent edit adding a list of Guns to Shanghai (2010 film)
Please use the talk page at the article to support your inclusion of a Gun list to a movie's article. Please add any references from reliable secondary sources as to why you feel that inclusion of a list of guns to a movie's article is notable. You are required to support your inclusions to the Encyclopedia, please do so. 12.144.158.7 (talk) 18:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- The article is on a notable topic. The section on guns simply adds to the article about the movie. Not every single inch of an article needs to be notable in its own right. Actualy, you are required to support why you feel the section should be removed as there is currently a large concencuss to the section being removed (from what I can tell, you are the only user who feels it should be removed). If you would like to see it removed, please discuss this on the talk page before removing it. Thanks. Oddbodz (talk) 18:09, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Seriously? It's a list of guns. I doubt you've even opened the article or viewed the edit differences. I can think of no other film article that contains such a specious list of guns right down to a ridiculous internal link to double barreled shotgun. Have you any references as to why you believe any/all of these are in the least bit notable in regards our historical record of this never released in the US (its home market) film which returned less than 1/5 of its cost to make?12.144.158.7 (talk) 18:17, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- I have reviewd the edit diferences and I still feel that the section could say. I ask you, why shouldn't it be in the article if it does not take away from it? The second part of your reply seems to be questioning the notability of the article itself. If you feel the article is not notiable, consider placing a request at WP:AfD. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 18:23, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Nothing in my responses can be mistaken for my questioning the notability of the article itself. I state, "Please add any references from reliable secondary sources as to why you feel that inclusion of a list of guns to a movie's article is notable." and follow later with, "Have you any references as to why you believe any/all of these are in the least bit notable in regards our historical record of this...?". My edits are clear, I ask what is so notable about the Guns that it requires an unsubstantiated list? I have seen few, if any, movie reviews or scholarly criticism that identifies or discusses prop handguns or rifles by name - I therefore question why it is notable for the encyclopedia if it is not found notable in those sources which purport to be the foundation for our edits here?12.144.158.7 (talk) 18:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- OK, it seems as if we have reached an impass. I am therefore going to request a third opinion (WP:3) and we can see if somesort of agreement can be reached. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 18:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Just a quick note: The Third Opinion was given at the article talk page, where I'm also going to add a note. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 19:39, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

TRS-80 and dab page style
Hi there,
I notice you altered my opening line on TRS-80 (disambiguation). However, as TRS-80 is the primary topic, this *is* the standard form of style for a disambiguation page, or at least as close as I can get it while keeping the page useful.
I appreciate that the opening line is a bit long, but it needs clarification (it's a disambiguation page) and TRS-80 is used as both the name of the original model and a brand for many unrelated models(!)
FWIW, I'd rather have split the TRS-80 page, but there was no consensus in favour, so I left it. I'm trying to clarify the existing setup "as is". Ubcule (talk) 22:50, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- A diambiguation page is simply a list of things with the same name. To have a primary subject, it is an article not a disambiguation page. Could I sugest perhaps moving the article to List of TRS-80 models (or similar) and removing the other things, or reverting to simply providing links to pages about something with the name TRS-80.
Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 22:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not clear what you mean by "To have a primary subject, it is an article not a disambiguation page"? As for the proposed move/name change, perhaps you could mention that at the split discussion, as it's still related to the organisation of the article(s).
- FWIW, I think it's necessary to have some sort of clarification/disambiguation that lets people get the the model they're looking for *without* having to wade all the way through the main TRS-80 page (which only covers the Model I in its opening section and is thus even more misleading and opaque for dab purposes). Ubcule (talk) 23:02, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
Systems development life-cycle
It is not vandalism to indicate that a page has a huge problem with it by inserting sections into the page that are indicated in the diagram for the page but do not yet exist in the page. The diagram shows a categorization scheme that is not reflected on the page. Either the diagram needs to be changed, or the sections need to be written. I don't know enough to write them personally, but I would like to have them written so that I can read them. In other words, I want to have the diagram explained on the page that shows it. 108.210.238.69 (talk) 20:40, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there, of course if there is an issue with articles you cannot solve, this should be pointed out to editors who can. However, this should be mentioned on the article's talk page, not just inserted into the article. Discussion on the talk page is encouraged but just putting it in the article in vandalism. If you wish to make this more obvious, consider placing a tag at the top of the article (see a list of article tags here). Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 20:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
I have made a request for a new cleanup tag on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Template_messages/Cleanup#Diagram_Does_not_Match_Text to handle situations where the diagram and the text of an article do not match. 108.210.238.69 (talk) 21:10, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
- Cool - that is probably a much better way to go about it. I have also moved your comment about name discrepancies between sections and the diagram to the article's talk page. However, on second inspection, it seems that the case is more the fact that the article has missed Implementation altogether rather than changing its name. If you feel you can write a section on implementation, feel free to do so. If not, place a note on the talk page and see if someone else can. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 21:38, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. In retrospect, the page probably needs a lot more cleanup than just the text/diagram mismatch, but solving that problem would be a good start 108.210.238.69 (talk) 22:38, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for your creation of 2013 Boston bombings. However, there was already an existing article at Boston Marathon explosions that has already received significant edits. I would advise to leave off your creation and adopt the existing article. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:50, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre
Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 01:18, 4 June 2013 (UTC) |

Disambiguation link notification for June 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roar (from Monsters University), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Digital download (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:54, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Roar Artwork.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Roar Artwork.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Royal styles precedent
Precedent is precedent, not certainty. Until we have a satisfactorily authoritative source for the child's style, we cannot include one. DBD 22:47, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- I included a citation official Royal Family Facebook page and is written by the staff at Buckingham Palace on behalf of the Queen. Not sure how you can get much more authoritative you can get! And it says 'he is', not he should be. Therefore, that is the child's official title. Oddbodz (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- I can see your meaning, but I'm afraid it's a case of once bitten, twice shy – we have used the official royal website before only to discover factual mistakes (i.e. not matching primary sources). In my experience the official site (and therefore, presumably, the official facebook and twitter) are not wholly reliable (for one thing, we can't guarantee they don't use us for reference!), so it really is best to wait for the press release regarding the infant's name.

Field marshall Roberts
Dear friend, I had inserted the photo seemed more suitable, being an image of Lord Roberts of the period of the late nineteenth century, the period (1895) he received the title of Field Marshal.

Example : The Hydrogen atom: Spin-orbit Interaction included
If the spin orbit interaction is taken into account, we have to add an extra term in Hamiltonian which represents the magnetic dipole interaction energy.[1]
Now, the new Hamiltonian with this new term doesn't commute with and ; but it does commute with L2, S2 and , which is the total angular momentum. In other words, are no longer good quantum numbers, but are.
And since, good quantum numbers are used to label the eigenstates, the relevant formulae of interest are expressed in terms of them. For example, the spin-orbit interaction energy is given by[2]
where
As we can see, the above expressions contain the good quantum numbers, namely Sashwattanay (talk) 15:54, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Liberty City Recent Edits
Thanks for your message, Oddbodz. I agree, it was indeed unconstructive. I just thought it would be more consistent to have an article on Liberty City, since Los Santos, another frequent location in the GTA series, also has an article, and it could also be a path for other sources on the fictional location, as well as the GTA Wiki.

- Hi there, if you feel that the article should be created, perhaps you could suggest it on the GTA talk page. Also, note that the page Los Santos (Grand Theft Auto) currently redirect to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Thanks, Oddbodz (talk) 21:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
