Ned[edit]

So your article seemed ready for article space, and as I'm sure you noticed, I moved it and reversed the image deletion notice. We should keep working on it but I don't think it's in any danger of deletion. Thanks!— TAnthony^Talk 00:52, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you TAnthony. I wasn't sure how the article creation process worked aside from starting one in a sandbox, then submitting it for review.Eric the fever (talk) 03:30, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hey, there was an edit conflict as I was copyediting the new adds to Ned Stark and I guess I basically reverted your revert LOL. I trimmed some really junky bits but a lot of it seems fine and helps clarify, go through it a little if you think it's necessary but I don't think we have to revert it altogether.— TAnthony^Talk 00:02, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that as well. Oops. After working on this and other AGOT articles over the past month, I really have learned these things need near daily policing or people tend to "fill in" details. I am trimming the added plot sections back right now. In general, I try to follow the following rules when editing plot sections

*No traveling companions or exact locations of events unless they are absolutely critical to the plot (IE kings landing is mentioned as a location, but the various inns and castles people visit are not

*Only mention other characters if their interaction is critical to the character in question's story. IE Baelish and Catelyn are mentioned in Ned's article but his interaction with his daughters and sons are not.

*Exact circumstances of events are omitted, it is simply enough to say that "xx is injured in the fight."

DYK for Eddard Stark[edit]

On 23 August 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Eddard Stark, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that author George R. R. Martin killed off protagonist Eddard Stark in his 1996 novel A Game of Thrones because he knew readers would not expect it? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Eddard Stark. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters=[edit]

Okayyy, I think this IP editor has just gone way overboard on List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters, some adds were probably needed but not to that degree. Like he added a LOT of background to House Targaryen. Anyway, I'll try to make time to take a look but I know you will haha. Try to resist a full revert but any character you've already worked on probably doesn't need a lot more of what he/she may have added? I haven't been following very edit.— TAnthony^Talk 07:12, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have an intense dislike of a full revert, trying to avoid it whenever possible. I will look at the article a little later and start re-paring the sections back over the weekend.Eric the fever (talk) 12:30, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hypothyroidism[edit]

Please ensure that when you add content to medical articles, you restrict your sources to WP:MEDRS-compatible references. Professional guidelines make no real mention of "foods to avoid" in the prevention or treatment of hypothyroidism. A single opinion piece in the NY Times without a single scientific reference is simply too poor a source. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Character article issues[edit]

If you would like to jump in at User talk:AffeL#Copyvios? ... This user has created about 15 ASOIF character articles, start sized by cited and all that. But I've spotted some copyvios from the ASOIF wiki and the Game of Thrones wiki, which he a) seems to acknowledge but doesn't see as a big issue and b) is blaming on material he took from List of A Song of Ice and Fire characters (which doesn't seem to be the case in at least one instance). I could use a little assistance examining the material.— TAnthony^Talk 22:30, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK it looks like a lot may be from List of Game of Thrones characters which could predate the other wikis, so I'm going to stop freaking out now LOL.— TAnthony^Talk 23:08, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can look at it, sorry I have been super busy over break and haven't kept up with much in the way of maintenance.Eric the fever (talk) 01:17, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

May 2017[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on First Epistle to Timothy. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. JudeccaXIII (talk) 02:18, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 9[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Papyrus 46, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colophon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

June 2019[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Dave Rubin; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.
