You seem to have mistakenly reverted all my edits
Dear Oshwah,
It seems to me that you mistakenly reverted all my edits (or at least many of them) because I "recently removed some content from Negative Utilitarianism ... without explaining why."
I agree using edit summary is good in the future when deleting content. The reason I haven't is (a) that I didn't know that function existed, and (b) the page has been under construction from nothing so there has been too many edits to write summaries for. Still, I agree substantial deletions of others' content warrant summaries.
Regarding the deletion you refer to: The content that I deleted already exist in the intro of section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_Utilitarianism#Versions_of_negative_utilitarianism in a more polished form that fits better with the rest of the text. So the deleted part is redundant.
By the way, I clicked "undo" on your reversion and tried to write an edit summary of why, but I clicked return too soon and I accidentally just undid it without an edit summary. Sorry about that; the edit summary would have been essentially what is in this message.
Best regards

- Hi, Ekonap. Thanks for leaving me a message and explaining. Go ahead and revert what I restored. If you need me to do this for you, just let me know and I'll be happy to do so. Again, thank you for taking the time to leave me a message. Happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 10:30, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Thee Physical
Hi, User:Oshwah. Can you explain why you think my edit is unconstructive? I believe adding Category:2011 albums and Category:Lovepump United albums is appropriate. Additionally, Category:Electronic music and Category:Electronic albums should be removed because Category:Electronic albums by American artists is a subcategory of them. 153.173.15.182 (talk) 10:38, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, talk. Please accept my apologies for the mistake. Feel free to restore what I reverted. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 10:48, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Dido correction
An edit was deleted in which the Aeneid was referenced as an "epic poem", and there was a misunderstanding. An epic refers to a long narrative poem, not my opinion on the quality of the poem.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sryoshida (talk • contribs) 17:10, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Sryoshida - no need to apologize. If anything, the apology should be coming from me, not you. You nailed it; I thought "epic" was referring to the opinionated use of the word, not the manner in which you were trying to use it. Please feel free to restore what I reverted. Thank you for taking the time to message me and let me know about this. It's a pleasure to meet you, and happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 19:47, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
More vandalism at Larry Hernandez
User:2607:FB90:686:5BD6:4FC5:4822:9B2C:98A4 has been removing content on the Larry Hernandez page again after you warned them. (Given that this is the ONLY page they edit, well, that's suspicious) I reverted it but you're better equipped to handle the user/problem than I am. 68.156.95.34 (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
- It looks like this IP has stopped making edits. Thanks for keeping an eye out and for reporting concerns :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 01:28, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- Someone with the suspiciously similar name of User:2607:FB90:602:1FF5:F587:372C:1395:2058 has made an edit to the same page (and no other activity anywhere), but this edit was seemingly benign so I let it slide. 68.156.95.34 (talk) 03:01, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
Sorry
I am very sorry about what I done can you forgive me pretty please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamaldestroyer (talk • contribs) 09:35, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
AN/I
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Specifically, User:Oswah. Amaury (talk) 13:27, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
- You came within a hair's breadth of being blocked for violating 3RR on Fairlight CMI. I have removed the dead links and copyvio YouTube link you kept re-inserting, and started to clean up the article using Mark Vail's Vintage Synthesisers, which I know has come under criticism for being not as factually spot-on as more recent sources in a few places, but it's a step in the right direction. Please be more careful in future. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Ritchie333. I really appreciate you for leaving me this message. The ANI discussion closed before I had a chance to update it again, and I thought I'd be beating a dead horse by re-opening it when it's clear that pretty much everyone has moved on. I got home later that day, sat down, and went over that whole situation from the start. Those links should not have been added back to the article after they were removed, and my reversions to that article should not have happened. The fact that the user has been blocked as a sock, quite frankly, is irrelevant. The removal was good; I did not pay close enough attention to what the edit was trying to accomplish and I let the edit summaries that the user wrote lead me to think that he was a troll. This is why I thought that what I was doing was the right thing. The situation shouldn't have happened, and this a good example of a principle that I've learned that I need to pay closer attention to: Bad or inappropriate edit summaries do not mean that the edit itself, is a bad one. - this is what had inadvertently allowed the situation to be created in the first place, and I will take this into account and pay more closer attention next time. A measure of true maturity and true experience is the ability to re-evaluate your actions, understand what caused things to go wrong, and admit mistakes when they are made and apologize if it's needed. I hope that my response to you has shown this. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me again, or respond if you have any more questions or concerns. It's a pleasure to finally meet you formally, and I'm sure that we'll run into each other again soon - have a great rest of your day, Ritchie333 :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 14:34, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Per discussion. I don't know if it will work if I put it here, you might have to re-insert it so it sees it coming from you; shouldn't take long for recommendations to appear:

A barnstar for you!

Awesome RC patrol work. Sorry I missed your RfA. I'm actually disappointed you didn't get the mop. You really should be an admin IMO. Keep up the good work. Ϫ 05:27, 4 October 2015 (UTC) |
- Hi, OlEnglish. I want to thank you for taking the time to create this barnstar for me and for the kind words. I appreciate it very much. My RfA didn't go exactly as planned, but not to worry! I just need to create and expand some articles and content, and I'll just run again next year when I feel ready to do so. I'll see you out there; until we meet again :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 22:45, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Help delete Sia Boss page
I created the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sia_Boss but don't know how to delete it Can you please help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by McJill (talk • contribs) 02:27, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, McJill. This article isn't eligible for deletion under Wikipedia's Speedy Deletion (with the exception of G7) or Proposed Deletion guidelines. Why do you want this article deleted? ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 02:33, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Because i do not want to be on wikipediaMcJill (talk) 02:42, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- It's my page and I do not want to be on wikipedia at the moment. Any help? McJill (talk) 02:44, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- McJill - If you no longer wish to use your account to contribute to Wikipedia, all you need to do is simply log out and stop using the account. Are there any specific concerns that you have regarding your account? ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 02:47, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Not my account but the page i and my team created about myselp - I wish to have all off wikipedia and wikimedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sia_Boss , https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sia_Boss.png , https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sia_wikipedia.png and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sia_in_2012.png Any help? McJill (talk) 02:50, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- McJill - I think that the best thing to do in this situation is to email the Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team at info-en-o@wikimedia.org - they're better equipped to handle your situation and your request than I am. Just describe the situation as you did here: you created this article about yourself, and you want it deleted. They will probably need to verify a few things, but this is best direction to go regarding your request and getting proper assistance. Please let me know if you have any more questions or if you need anything else. Best of luck :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 03:02, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Well I have done as instructed thank you. waiting to hear from them next. How long is the wait? McJill (talk) 03:41, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi again, McJill. I'm honestly not sure. It obviously depends on the volunteers' workload, the number of issues or tickets that are currently in line, server up-time, many things. I'd imagine that you'll receive a response within 48 hours at the longest, although some situations can cause responses to take longer. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 03:54, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

my page
I would like to know why my page is going to be removed? I have been asking for help on wiki but nobody is available to help.. I need to know how I can make a description and add my albums, etc.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DLi723 (talk • contribs) 07:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, DLi723 - Welcome to Wikipedia! The reason that your article was listed for Speedy Deletion is due to this criteria (A7). Under this criteria, articles that are about people, bands, companies, websites, or other subjects that do not explain why the article's subject is important or significant can be nominated. A good page that will help you with creating and expanding your first article is Wikipedia: Your First Article. It's a perfect place for you to look at, and it will provide you will the necessary guidelines regarding the creation of an article. Please let me know if you have any more question. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you further. I may be misreading your message, but it appears that the article that you may be personally involved with the article that you're trying to create (maybe you're a member of the band or somehow personally involved with the band?) - If I am correct, then I highly recommend that you review Wikipedia's behavioral guideline on conflict of interest. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy your stay, take time to review our fundamental principals and learn how Wikipedia works, make contributions, and decide to become a long-term contributor here :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 08:57, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Talk:Dariyapur, Nalanda
I want to delete because I have created this page. I saw so many unwanted people has updated this page with wrong information. If wiki allow to edit this page to anyone!! probably anyone can write anything anywhere. Wiki is not allowing me to undo changes!! WHY???
Just delete this page. I don't want to say anything more now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avinash.sir (talk • contribs) 07:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
- Avinash.sir - instead of deleting, let me help you restore the article to a correct version. What exactly is incorrect about the article? Can you explain so that I can provide assistance? ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 07:09, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Neighborcity.com
I look to Wikipedia for real definitions. Neighborcity is bogas in my opinion. I suggest you look at the compliants against this company and evaluate or add a link to the sites with the complaints. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.218.247.250 (talk) 07:12, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

I tried to make it more... better?
Oshwah, I had edited the said page because it would be better known in this case to be related to a ten year old playing an M rated game. Is there any other way to put it? I meant to contribute to wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.232.25.12 (talk) 10:50, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Oswah
the article claims he was born in St Petersburg and lived there until 11 -if that does not make Cantor Russian nothing else will- he was NOT German despite what that Great Beacon (?) of pop-knowledge Encyclopedia Britannica claims - the impact his Russian-ness had in having him and his work accepted by the German school is a direct cause of his later mental health issues - to deny that is fallacy and sweeps over perhaps the MOST critical aspect of his life - I do not need any source - YOU are my source - to claim he was German is wrong - period- I am a degreed Historian and Mathematician and bristle when I see such ignorant bias to claim him for Germany - he is / was and will always be Russian so call it like it is - not as the historical revisionist want to claim it - had he been any less successful I would most certainly expect German to disown him now as they did then - he is ONLY claimed by Germany because of the enormity of his work and impact it had on modern mathematics - something I in fact disagree with but get it right and PLEASE leave my CORRECT correction ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.101.123 (talk) 12:38, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Edgar Snyder & Associates page
Hi Oshwah,
How are you? I hope well. Let me first honestly disclose that I work for the Pittsburgh area law firm, Edgar Snyder & Associates. We have noticed that you previously helped to edit Edgar Snyder's personal wikipedia page, and you have an impressive personal user page.
We believe that the firm warrants its own organization page, as the firm has arguably become as prominent in the Pittsburgh community as Edgar himself. However, we also know that Wikipedia has strict policies against marketing, advertising, puffery, etc while creating pages. This is not something we are seeking -- we are simply seeking an objective page about the firm, the firms' partners and attorneys, practice areas, the firm's involvement, etc.
I have come to you to ask your advice on how to best achieve this. Is it worth me attempting to write a page that meets Wikipedia's guidelines using reliable, third-party sources? Or, do you think we would be more successful to list it as a request, providing sources? Or, are you able to help in any way? I sincerely appreciate any guidance or advice you are able to give -- if you are able/allowed to give any.
Many, many thanks, Oshwah!Mmansmann (talk) 13:00, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
