Fluid Intelligence
[edit]Cresix, please stop cancelling my edits on Fluid Intelligence. I cited 3 legit studies from respected journals. Without these citations, article doesn't represent full spectrum of current research. I did read the papers and cited most important ideas from them. — Preceding unsigned comment added byRunig (talk • contribs) 03:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
So, are you going to leave biased and one-sided wikipedia article as is? — Preceding unsigned comment added byRunig (talk • contribs) 14:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Wait, but I supplied papers' conclusions with links to actual papers, what's wrong with verifiablity then? — Precedingunsigned comment added by Runig (talk • contribs) 14:14, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
What's wrong with you? I've added exact citation from another wikipedia article N-back which mentions the same two studies disproving memory training benefits? Why have you deleted the edit again? If you delete my edit, delete that one too and let wikipedia be one-sided, biased and useless.
Cresix
[edit]Cresix, you stopped me from editing the American Catholics page. I was in the middle of writing down all the names I remember or STRONGLY suspect being Catholic, and THEN i was going to add the citations. For example, Matt Damon I suspect is Catholic because his wife and children are and he married her before she gave birth to their first baby....as a Catholic myself, I know how much the church hates births out of wedlock. (That, and I checked the IMDB page). Peter Dinklage attended an all Catholic boys school in New Jersey and has spoken in public about not havng gone to church in a while (he has lapsed a bit, but he is still a baptized and confirmed Catholic, all 3 and a half feet of him and I suspect his new daughter too.). Steven Tyler and Joe Perry: Joe Perry's sons spent most ofntheir childhood in a aboston suburb where about 80% of the town attends a Catholic church on Sundays; that, and his background is Italian and Portuguese:THERE IS ONLY ONE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION IN THOSE LANDS. Steven Tyler's mother was a Caholic schoolteacher anf Steven attended that school as a boy.Lady Gaga has publicly confirmed she is a a Catholic and so has Kevin Smith. John Ford and Frank Capra were irish and Italian and decidedly not Protestants. John Bon Jovi had relatives that owned a funeral home down the street from the local parish in Raritan New Jersey, it was a Catholic funeral home and he has spoken publicly about it. Springsteen is the same.
Wyclef Jean I was wrong about and was going back to erase him, but then you erased everything I had done. I ask that you give me time to collect my sources before you erase next time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.218.103(talk) 01:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, and thanks for your welcome message! Regarding your remarks on the necessity of adding reliable sources to the article I just created (Tashir (historical region), I am fully conscient of that, and actually did it, putting the article I got most of the information from in the References section. It comes from a scholarly publication, the author has his own wiki page (Cyril Toumanoff). I purposefully didn't rely on local (Armenian & Georgian) sources as they are fraught with nationalist bias. I hope this clears the matter; if I missed something or did not put the reference right, please mention it to me, I'll fix it...Susuman77 (talk) 19:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

I think you are right.
[edit]After looking at that particular wording, I think you are correct that the image should be nuked if it was only used for the biography article. However, as on the Hannity, Heraldo, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Rachel Maddow show logos, MHP's likeness is part of the show logo used to illustrate those shows. Logos are accepted as of this date.
Since the image has a legitimate rationale for the illustration of the show, then it seems to me that the second use in the biography article is acceptable. J JMesserly (talk) 00:11, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, but there is an article for the show. See my rationale there: Talk:Melissa Harris-Perry (TV program). It depends on where the Free only WP content contingent want to draw the line. I think it is reasonable to use in in the bio article, if the Fair use rationale for the show article is correct. That is, I would think it fair to use the Hannity logo in the Hannity article if there weren't any free images of him. J JMesserly (talk) 00:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Bedazzler
[edit]You removed a section of the Bedazzler article as "unsourced trivia". I think you're right, but you missed the previous slew of changes which altered the article into an advertisement for the "new owners" who seem to also own the account which did the changes (Sasgroup2012). I am going to restore the article to its prior state (including the section you removed): please keep an eye on it to help ensure that they don't hijack the article again: I'm going to suggest that they add their involvement rather than simply overwrite the previous history.

Deaf schools / schools for the deaf
[edit]I urge you to reconsider the reversion. If you say that "the people are deaf, not the school", then by your definition, we can't allow 'deaf social clubs', 'deaf culture' and so on. In any case, Belfastshane is actually correct - deaf people, teachers and sign language interpreters do refer those schools as "deaf schools". The Deaf community regard those schools as part of the Deaf community and its social network. Thank you for your time. 0zero9nine (talk) 07:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Andy Griffith "Death" section content
[edit]Cresix, thanks for taking care of my edit request yesterday to the "Death" section on Andy Griffith. But a user just unnecessarily added a sentence back to the end of the paragraph about the death certificate and heart attack. Can you please delete it? The user apparently wasn't aware that issue was already resolved AND that the heart attack is already included in the first sentence. The sentence to be removed is: "On July 6, 2012, Griffith's death certificate was related and listed the cause of death as a heart attack.[51]" Thanks. --76.189.114.18 (talk) 13:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC) 13:29, 6 July 2012 (UTC) 13:31, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Edits Removed
[edit]Hello,
I'm very new to this whole thing, and so I hope you'll help me how to do things correctly. I made some important edits last night to a page (Protandim) and they were removed (by you, I think?), saying that I didn't provide references, etc. One of the changes I made was to add information directly from www.PubMed.gov (the researching institutions and journals in which the studies were published), to information that was already written and referenced. Can you tell me how/if I need to reference it differently in that situation.
Another change that I made was to add some information and quotes directly from the companies website, and I don't know how to create the specific citation within the document to lead the reader directly to that information. Can you help me understand how to do that?
I also removed a section discussing Protandim's effect in a study that was not a Protandim study, as I found no mention of Protandim in the introduction or abstract of the reference cited, but I have since downloaded the entire study and see that Protandim is, in fact, cited, and so that was an error on my part, and I appreciate the 'removed edits frustration' that led me to read further into that study. Thank you.
And so, in short, I'd like to correctly reference/cite some necessary edits to the information in order to present a more accurate piece of information for readers, and would appreciate any direction you can give me in doing so.
Thank you very much.

New York College of Health Professions
[edit]My apologies if I am replying in the wrong place. I'm new to Wikipedia editing but trying to catch on to the ways things work. You had removed the "controversy" section I had edited in stating that it lacked a reliable source. I did include two (now three) links to external sites which include student feedback concerning the college. I am guessing that you feel those do not meet the requirements of reliable sources. If that is the case, do you have any recommendations as to what could constitute a reliable source for this type of situation? There are no legal documents or similar items to include as these issues are managed within the walls of the school (and on social media sites). The issue is integral to the future of both the school and the student body and needs to be visible. Any advice is appreciated. Ammendmentone (talk) 16:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Removing unreferenced entries from List of games with concealed rules
[edit]I note you recently removed some entries from List of games with concealed rules because they were unsourced, but you left a considerable number of similarly unsourced entries in. Any reason for the inconsistency? Are you planning on adding references to these, or should they perhaps be deleted as well? —Psychonaut (talk) 19:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
- First and foremost, removal of some unsourced information does not obligate anyone to remove ALL unsourced information. No one is expected to fix all of Wikipedia in one day. That said, if you look at the article's history and talk page, you will see that I am systematically removing unsourced items. I first removed those unsourced more than five years, then those more than four years, three years, and two year. I also remove any new unsourced items that are added so that this process of endless accumulation of unsourced information does not continue. I remind you that any unsourced material on Wikipedia can be removed per WP:V and WP:BRD. If you wish to restore an item, feel free to do so as long as you provide a reliable source. Cresix (talk) 19:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Cresix. I saw you reverted my edits and the only reason you gave was "better." I'm sure you meant well, but that is very vague and of course subjective. And in the process of reverting the entire edit, instead of just a piece or two of it, you also removed two new, strong cites (from CNN and the LA Times), and added back an incomplete Washington Post cite that I took the time to complete (by adding the date, publisher and reporter's name, etc.). As well, you also added back a cite to a story (from the Wall Street journal) that was published before Eastwood's speech even happened. The last sentence had very odd phrasing ("comedic portion" and "addressed a vacant chair next to him"). Although it was strangely humorous of course, it wasn't a stand-up comedy routine. It was a presidential convention speech. And the chair reference should be direct ("spoke to an empty chair"), as Wikipedia encourages. I'm fine with not splitting it into a separate paragraph, but this was a very prominent event in Eastwood's life, which is evidenced by the fact that it has its own article. In fact, it should probably be expanded a bit in Eastwood's article. Almost everyone agrees that this will be the most-remembered speech of both conventions, and that Eastwood will be associated with an empty chair for the rest of his life. When making an edit, especially when it involves many different factors, it's usually best not to do a wholesale reversion, at least not without discussing it with the editor. (Unless of course it's clearly disruptive or vandalism.) It's like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Thanks. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 05:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- I added a characterization ("rambling") of Clintwood's monologue that was independently commented upon and reiterated in many major media outlets, and you've reverted it. Similarly, I included the NYT's quotes about the reception by Romney campaign staffers and Scott Walker's real time reaction to Clintwood's performance. These seem quite germane. They will certainly be remembered for a long time, given the prominence of his appearance and the viewership. His Superbowl halftime ad will also be remembered. The fact that it is rarely mentioned now, half a year after the Superbowl, does not indicate by any means that it has disappeared from American consciousness, no more than Anne Richards' "born with a silver foot in his mouth" characterization of George H.W. Bush at the Democratic Convention in 1988 or Janet Jackson's "nipslip" at the halftime at Superbowl XXXVIII in 2004 have been forgotten. By deleting references to this noteworthy episode, you seem to have appointed yourself the sole arbiter of what's important and what period of time must elapse to come to a judgment about it.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it because I knew I hadn't posted those comments there. Activist did not have my permission to do that, and I assume he did not have your permission either. I removed your and my comments from the Eastwood talk page. Activist also copy and pasted his own comment from your talk page, including the original date/time posted. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I'll leave it up to you to decide. I don't know Activist, but I told him in my edit comment never to do that again. I do agree that the empty chair speech content needs to be expanded a bit in the Eastwood article, but what Activist did is ridiculously inappropriate.

Elizabeth II word usage
[edit]There seems to be several admins around but no one wants to take any action. Can you help us out with this problem?
Here at Elizabeth II we are facing a sort of edit war on how certain lines of Elizabeth's biography should be written. Originally, the article read, "Elizabeth's only sibling, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930." BUT I changed it to, "Elizabeth had a sister, Princess Margaret, who was four years younger." Another editor stated that the former was necessary because readers would need clarification she had no other siblings. See User_talk:DrKiernan#Queen_Elizabeth.27s_sister; I left several messages but the editor failed to respond. Spelling Style (talk) 16:00, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Mars Hill College
[edit]I saw you undid the text I entered for Mars Hill College. It is a true fact, not false. MHC is a private college.
Cited from both the Mars Hill College page and the Western North Carolina pages on Wikipedia.
From the MHC Wiki page: "Mars Hill College was founded in 1856, and it is the oldest college or university in western North Carolina. The college was originally named the French Broad Baptist Academy, after the nearby French Broad River."
From the WNC Wiki page: " Mars Hill College, affiliated with the North Carolina Baptist Convention, is located 15 miles (24 km) north of Asheville. Founded in 1856, it is the oldest college or university in western North Carolina.
I'm not sure exactly how to cite this, but since it is on two other Wikipedia pages, it is viable. I put a citation on the page coming from the Mars Hill College website. I'm not sure if it is in the correct format but I want to make certain this accurate information remains on the page. I can cite other websites if need be. I will be adding this again to the NC page.

Mars Hill College
"Can someone tell me how to cite correctly then?
I have several websites. I tried to cite it with the actual Mars Hill College website...I want this to be added but nobody has responded to my request for help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ncashbo (talk • contribs) 04:50, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Well, it looks like you handled the referencing process OK. Just use http://www.mhc.edu/about-mhc instead of the Wikipedia article, and you should be fine. --Jayron32 04:52, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
OK. So, when I hit the 'cite this source' I can just add the http://www.mhc.edu/about-mhc for the citation and that will be enough? I don't know how many sources I need to use? I don't want it to look like false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ncashbo (talk • contribs) 04:54, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah, just use the "cite" tab in the edit window, then click the "templates" pulldown, select "cite web" and fill out the form. Use that address as the URL, put the title of the page under title, enter the date you accessed the page, etc. Just fill it all out, and it will insert it for you. --Jayron32 04:57, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Great! Thank you a lot for your help. I just cited that source so hopefully it should be ok now. Do you think you could take a look at it and make sure for me? If not, that is quite ok. I think it should be good now though. Thanks again for your help. Ncashbo (talk) 04:59, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Yale SOM
[edit]The image files are not the same. The previous one was a 2006 file (of lower quality) which incorporated the motto ribbon. The ribbon has since been removed from the current 2012 shield that is being used by Yale SOM. Handsdown.1 (talk) 16:18, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I would like to make it clear that I am not engaging in 'edit warring' and that I am not reverting your edits simply for the sake of reverting. The 2 shields are genuinely different in terms of resolution, color (e.g. explicitly the book) and compositional arrangement (i.e. ribbon previously mentioned). Also the previous file was JPG, which has been replaced with a PNG (with transparency) file, which is more commonly used to avoid white backgrounds. I hope you will consider what I have pointed out. Handsdown.1(talk) 16:25, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I have added a new entry to the talk page to notify relevant editors. Please advise on whether it is adequate. Thank you Handsdown.1 (talk) 16:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
D. W. Griffith
[edit]Hi, it appears information was added by Ophuls20393 to the article, then removed, thus no new change except rearranging of already existing information, the names that were re arranged were the names you deleted so i believe you mistook this for a new addition, i re added them as they all seem to check out, except for Michael Mann who i deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.239.60 (talk) 21:04, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
in this case it precisely does matter who made the edits and when they were made, hence why you only deleted my addition of Andrew Dominik to the Terrence Malick page, also before you deleted information you could have checked the wikipedia page for directors who studied under D. W. Griffith, which contains many of the names
you do understand we are talking about directors who studied under griffith almost a hundred years ago, and you expect an individual source for each one (other than a whole wikipedia page dedicated to the topic) to verify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by86.138.239.60 (talk) 21:40, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Jon Heder's ancestry
[edit]Hi,
I made a few days ago a change about Jon Heder's ancestry and you said that the source wasn't reliable. If you look closely, you see that he has English ancestors in the 1600s, he also has Scottish, Danish, Dutch and German ancestors.

Civility
[edit]Cresix, thank you for your contribution. However, as a Wiki reviewer, I hope you are aware of Wikipedia:Civility [2]: "editors should behave politely, calmly and reasonably, even during heated debates." "Be careful with user warning templates. Be careful about issuing templated messages to editors you're currently involved in a dispute with, and exercise caution when using templated messages for newcomers (see Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers). Consider using a personal message instead of, or at least in addition to, the templated message." "Don't

Hi Cresix, thanks for your reminders but you've already made it clear that editors can be blocked. Instead, why not explain more of the nuances of the problem in detail on my talk page instead of replying via templates? I'm convinced that you believe I am inexperienced and indeed, I would truly appreciate it if you offer me more guidance. If you look at the edit times, I left you a message before reverting your edit so I wasn't ignoring your message. Handsdown.1 (talk) 16:00, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Response to user page editing
[edit]My apologies. I merely meant to help others evaluating suspicious edits. Being my first `undo' of an edit I was somewhat paranoid that I had missed something and this was, in fact, a correction until I saw the user's previous edits. I wished to make the previous edits of the user more apparent. Again my apologies, it won't happen again.

List of Americans of English descent

Savoy Truffle Electric Piano
[edit]To many people it doesn't matter if it is a Rhodes or Wurlitzer in any given song from the 60´s, but to me it does. I've tried to dedicate myself to the history of the great man Harold Rhodes and his invention the Rhodes Electric Piano ( www.fenderrhodes.com ) that I love. The Rhodes has played an incredibly important role for music since it was introduced at NAMM 1965. Almost every day I find a faulty reference, and I constantly try to set the record straight and help correcting the errors. Right now I face a humongous task when I realize that almost everything written about the Beatles is full of mistakes. The Rhodes was first used in January 1969 on "Get Back" and it was played by Billy Preston who joined the Beatles the same day. The Rhodes used was a gift from Don Randall of the Fender Corporation, and was sent to Apple studios during autumn 1968. All songs recorded before this uses other electric pianos like Wurlitzer, Hohner, RMI and others. F.Y.I / Freddan
Sorry!Forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Frederik Adlers, and I created the website Rhodes Supersite together with James Garfield 1996, and I'm the sites lead historian. I'm also the author of the story of the Fender Rhodes published in several international magazines. My sources are Harold Rhodes himeslf among many others. I would very much like to contribute to corrections about the Rhodes, but unfortunately it is impossible, even on Wikipedia. Regards, Frederik— Preceding unsignedcomment added by 217.208.111.26 (talk) 14:03, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
If you don't want to correct the mistake, I want to point out that the Rhodes piano hasn't been cited with a correct verification either, therefore it shout state "electric piano" instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.208.111.26(talk) 14:47, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Spoilers in movie articles
[edit]Hi Cresix. Seeing as you recently edited the "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" article plot summary section I figured you're as good a person to ask as anyone: Is it really appropriate for Wikipedia movie articles to include spoliers? The DBAOTD is fairly typical of Wikipedia movie articles in general in that it basically gives the whole movie away. It seems to me this must be a serious deterrant of people seeking to learn a little about a movie they want to see. If you read a Wikipedia article about a movie you haven't seen yet it will almost certainly reveal most (if not all) of the baic story, including surprise endings. I think it would probably be better if these articles described movies without providing a detailed plot synopsis hat basically gives the movie away to readers.

Thanks, and thanks for your help. If you have any suggestions for the future, I'd love to hear them. Of course, as Evancho's career moves forward, there is more and more to add, so the difficulty is always to keep it as short as possible, and to decide if there is anything that can be moved out of the main article into the sub articles. Happy editing! --Ssilvers (talk) 22:26, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Cresix,you reverted my edit on the article on "Irreligion" I believe has untrustworthy information regarding some statistics on Slavic countries.

Paul Erdős's Bacon Number
[edit]In response to my twice reverted addition of Erdős's Bacon number (and, by extension, his Erdős-Bacon number), and so resorted to a simple Google search for potential sources. Upon typing in "erdos bacon number", Google itself provided an answer of "3", the justification being that "Paul Erdős and Peter Berg appeared in N Is a Number: A Portrait of Paul Erdős./Peter Berg and Chris Pine appeared in Smokin' Aces./Chris Pine and Kevin Bacon appeared in Beyond All Boundaries." If this is true, it would be an update on the information presented in the text on the Erdős–Bacon number page, which reads "four" in the text.
However, I could not simply go off and list the movies myself off of IMDB (which would be WP:SYN or WP:OR issues), so I am uncertain of how to find and identify Google's sources, or whether it would be even possible to list the Google search as a citation (though this is unlikely the case, given other attitudes towards citing Google). Any suggestions on how to go about checking Google's sources? Benjitheijneb (talk) 17:25, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Genealogy Links
[edit]Cresix - I see you have reverted the additions I have been making to county pages in NC, indicating that you believe them to be in appropriate. I do disagree with you. The links I am establishing are to a national network of sites that provide historical and genealogical content relevant to each county in the United States. The information on these pages provide further context for background about each county and resources that may be helpful for a wide variety of research. I am a librarian and these pages are very much within the scope of Wikipedia. Please do not continue to revert my edits. Taneya (talk) 22:30, 17 November 2012 (UTC) Taneya
Cresix - I saw your comment on my talk page in response to my resinstatement of the links. I am not trying to start a link war and I have read the linking policies. The genweb pages do not violate any of the parameters listed. By which guideline in the link policy are you basing your decision to remove the links I added? Which guideline does it violate?Taneya (talk) 01:11, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Taneya
Cresix - in the first message on my talk page, you directed me to discuss this with you on your talk page; which I did. On your second message, you are saying I should go to the article page. Which one is it? Also, the reason you cited on my page is still not valid for the link I added. I added one link to the page. Your text talks about adding multiple links. The link I added was indeed context-sensitive. I still do not understand your rationale for removing my link as it does not violate any guideline. Taneya(talk) 05:03, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Taneya
- Cresix, given that we're dealing with similar links across many articles, it is entirely unreasonable to discuss them individually. At this point, your talk page is the most appropriate place for this discussion. Rklawton (talk) 05:24, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

I received your message regarding Leelee Sobieski and Matthew Davis. The reference, the Us Magazine article, is false and Leelee was never married to Matthew Davis. A tabloid is hardly considered a reputable source, and before this fabrication was released back in August, marriage talk between the 2 didn't exist.

Template spam removed
[edit]I see you reverted the templates at Steven Spielberg - could you explain how the 1200 plus links in the templates are related to the subject at hand? Not one link in the templates mentions him in anyway. These are what we call spam templates - the exact thing we wish to avoid - that is adding non-related info over many many articles. We have a huge amount of these horrible templates spammed all over - need help with that because the MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia has several parameters that limit the complexity of a page, thus limiting the amount of templates that can be included.Moxy (talk) 00:27, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- So he won those awards - thus we should link the 1200 people that also won the award? We could put all the useless templates at List of awards and nominations received by Steven Spielberg that is linked in a section - but to link thousands of unrelated people is spam noting but spam. We need to get a handle on these spam templates for spam and limits.Moxy (talk) 00:48, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
- I see your not understanding my position - its not the awards its the thousands of links in the templates that are not related in anyway. As for metedata = to many templates causes an error - last thing we need is errors because of these unrelated templates - see Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded. SWP:NAVBOX - quote = "Navigation templates—sometimes called "navboxes"—are boxes containing links to a group of related articles not a list of people that have the same award. Anyways I am not one to revert - someone will get it later - not hurting the page at this time... will move on and fix other articles.Moxy (talk) 01:06, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

- "I suspect you really don't want to explain to anyone else" – is assuming bad faith really necessary? Anyway, I suppose what you say makes sense in general cases. But if you actually read the addition made and user's contribs in this specific instance, you'll see that you're defending a text that has nothing to do with the Beatles, added by a user who's sole activity on Wiki has been to insert stories about Little Richard's influence in various musicians' articles.
- The reason I didn't bother taking it to the talkpage is that it is pretty obvious that the addition was completely inappropriate for a well-written and focussed article like the Beatles. Just because it was backed by reliable sources, doesn't mean we include it no-matter-what; we have to consider other aspects as well, including relevance.—indopug (talk) 03:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
- Except I've already done just that. Anyway, it's clear nothing productive can from this discussion, as you are unable to assume good faith on my part. Have a good day.—indopug (talk) 03:09, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

It was a valid edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by92.239.40.130 (talk) 21:27, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
It was the March 2007 issue of Mojo Magazine. I assume the actual magazine that the record was attached to counts as an acceptable reference. You can't get any closer to the source than that.
Anyway, are you seriously suggesting that every one of those cover versions listed on the LitSwD article currently stand as being unverifiable without sources? I can't even fathom what you would consider a valid reference to prove a recording exists other than the physical recordings themselves. Barcodes, perhaps? No good pre (circa)1984. Maybe the catalog number? Unfortunately, international standardization doesn't exist so really the only proof of a recording is the recording itself.
I suggest you are being a tad overzealous in your personal policing of edits. While I respect what you're doing, I am not confident you really know how much attitudes such as yours cause stagnation on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by92.239.40.130 (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for your continued replies. Ok let's simplify things a bit. You're claiming I haven't provided verification of a music recording; I am claiming that that the magazine that it was published and distributed on is as much verification as you could possibly get. Tell me then please; what, in your opinion, would count as a ROCK SOLID verification of the existence of a music recording? — Preceding unsigned comment added by92.239.40.130 (talk) 22:44, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if this is the place to respond to the message that you left for me, but I'll try. There were no citations to the other writers in the list, as far as I could determine. The author that you deleted is the most celebrated and famous Cuban writer, Alejo Carpentier. If I ever get around to it, I will try to dig up a reference that will justify including him in this brief reference. On the separate Cuban Literature page, he is of course present. — Preceding unsignedcomment added by Davesvette (talk • contribs) 22:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

[edit]I just love when people make false accusations and try to posess articles because they don't have an answer for what you are saying, don't you? :) Anyway, I have a discussion on his talk page about this. Too bad the Admin protected it on the version without the tags. United States Man (talk) 03:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm apologetic for my rude comments in our discussion. I realize your intentions were good, and I shouldn't have let my bad day determine my tone. I'm embarrassed by my behavior, to be honest, because I usually don't let my offline mood affect my actions on Wikipedia. Thanks for being civil throughout the discussion.

94.169.6.135's edits at "1989 in film"
[edit]You've interacted before with anonymous editor 94.169.6.135. If you have time will you please look at his edits here? I don't like the Notable Deaths table he created but don't want to revert as he did add worthwhile information. Further, I don't like editing tables. I'm not asking you to fix the table he created, but would like you to advise me what to do next. Thanks. -Fantr (talk) 21:53, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
- That table was beyond repair. If there are minor formatting problems, I usually can fix them. It looks like he tried to create a table, couldn't figure it out, and just gave up and walked away. If there is useful information from his edits, I suggest adding it to the list that was there before his edits. Thanks for pointing out this problem.Cresix (talk) 01:17, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- We can continue the discussion here on your page if you like. He's changed numerous "year in film" articles. At 1997 in film, user Crboyer had to repair his table several times. Do we really need a table containing that much detail? The linked articles tell us what the person was famous for. I strongly advise removing all tables from all "year in film" articles. This may require doing an RFC. - Fantr (talk) 01:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter to me whether the information is in list or table format, as long as the table is done properly. I am wary of any edits by 94.169.6.135 to film articles. He has such a pervasive history of vandalizing by adding false deaths. I noticed in some of his recent edits he has added rather obscure cast and crew in death sections. He may be trying to make accurate edits for a while until others become less suspicious, and then begin his old routine of adding false information. Maybe I'm being too paranoid, but I think we need to keep any eye on his edits. Cresix (talk) 02:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Pope
[edit]Sorry, I'm new. Different Presbyterian churches have taken exceptions to Ch. 25 of WCF (e.g. PCA). The original document is still held by many. To go into detail of what countries hold the Pope to be the Antichrist and what do not with Presbyterianism would distract from the point, in my opinion. The point being, Lutherans are not the only ones to believe the papacy to be the Antichrist. Those who subscribe to the original writing of WCF are others. The source is simply the WCF. Chuckd83 (talk) 19:33, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
It is simply not true that all of Presbyterianism (or Lutheranism for that matter) accepts the "Pope as antichrist" idea
I never said that. I said "Presbyterianism and other churches subscribing to the WCF..." Presbyterians are differentiated by the WCF. Not all subscribe to the 1646 document, but my statement was regarding those who do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chuckd83 (talk • contribs) 21:14, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
My Edits
[edit]Hi, I just want to clear things up and let you know that I didn't add it back. I removed it because I found out it was already all sourced out on another article named Incidents at Disneyland Resort. Bigshowandkane64 (talk) 17:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit]No, the message was for the IP address user 24.126.214.219. I was just letting him or her know that it's all sourced out on another Disney Land article. Sorry if I confused you.Bigshowandkane64 (talk) 01:19, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Jody Foster's Sexual Orientation
[edit]Hi, thanks for your message. I think it's already mentioned in the article that she had been in a long-term relationship with a same-sex partner. She remembers her as "ex-partner in love"). IMHO, The fact that she is not willing to use the word "lesbian" or "bisexual" to describe herself can not affect the truth of the matter. She does talk about coming out though. I think I should have used the label "LGBT" which is more encompassing and reliable. What do you think? To me, the evidence is more than enough to believe that she clearly identifies herself with some branch of the LGBT community Omid.espero (talk) 08:21, 5 March 2013 (UTC).
