Precious again

Thank you for quality articles, biographies, buildings, Murder of James Craig Anderson, for teaching, for your "willingness to help out editors in difficult and thankless situations", for brevity, - repeating: you are an awesome Wikipedian (15 May 2009, 22 June 2009)!

ArbCom elections are now open!

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:30, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

I miss you.

You really had spunk. :(

Gravin Kumar

Hi, Regarding the page for Gavin Kumar - do not remove PROD templates from pages you start. If a user does this, they will be reverted. To read more on this, see Template:Proposed deletion. Curro2 (talk) 03:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

False. Have you read the link you quoted? It says, "Any editor (including the article's creator) may object to the deletion by simply removing the tag; this action permanently cancels the proposed deletion via PROD." Elizium23 (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

@Curro2: Beyond that, not only did I NOT start the page, I nominated it for speedy deletion [1]! Toddst1 (talk) 13:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Wrong. This was a straight forward case of speedily deleting an article. If you continue to Wikistalk me, randomly reverting my edits as you did to Nadia Murad and Turkish philosophy, I will report the behavior to WP:ANI. Curro2 (talk) 17:34, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Anyone making edits outside of policy as you are doing is subject to reversion - that's not Wp:HOUNDing. Hounding is when someone is followed in order to repeatedly confront or inhibit their work Toddst1 (talk) 01:02, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

You have been warned, you have indicated here that you intend to violate more Wikipedia policies. If I come across you stalking me again, I will report you and you will be blocked. Instead of trying to justify bad behavior, why not step back and read about the deletion process? There's very little to learn. Curro2 (talk) 03:56, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

You've completely mischaracterized my actions and it seems misunderstood your own actions on Gravin Kumar. You've told me that I need to learn about the deletion process. You've threatened to have me blocked for being a stalker.

I don't believe that your contributions in general appear to be made with a good grasp of our policies nor interactions with other editors of the standard expected here. I don't see anything good coming of further interactions with you and I'll politely ask you to move along and focus your edits elsewhere. Toddst1 (talk) 20:16, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Fred W. Glover page

Hello, thank you for your list of reasons why there may be concerns with my entries on Fred W. Glover's page. However, the concerns don't apply as far as I can tell. I've done careful research and all the articles and topics are cited to the books or journals they come from, and the phrasing is impartial. What then is my recourse for replacing the content on the page without it being summarily pulled down again? Yes, I am a newbie here -- so, again, thank you for your patience. I AM related to Fred, but the content contains no opinions, it states the facts and cites sources. I'm absolutely open for content to be removed or edited which is in anyway partial. However it is quite frustrating to spend hours on a project and have it all disappear without recourse. I welcome your advice and guidance. Thanks, Dana Joan Reynolds (talk) 00:45, 8 February 2016 (UTC) Dana Joan Reynolds

What you wrote appears to be a publicity piece for your client. It comes nowhere near the standard of WP:NPOV and your edits do not conform to the WP:MOS. If you're here to build an encyclopedia, perhaps you should try editing subjects that you don't have a connection to. Attempts to use Wikipedia for promotion are not appropriate. Toddst1 (talk) 15:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your guidance, Todd. Please help me understand how I might list an individual's accomplishments which are historically important in the field of operations research without sounding like 'publicity'? It is important work. Simply stating the facts of it are indeed impressive, as are the entries of many people who have impacted science and industry. How is this different? Can we please go through this point by point and designate which posts are violations and permit those which are historically accurate? This seems like a reasonable request instead of summarily pulling it all down in a blanket assessment without considering the actual content. Please help me find an appropriate way to move forward. Also, Fred is not my client, if it matters. I am not being paid. I am trying to bring important work to light. Also, I am curious how one might post content one is not connected to? I'm not being facetious. I really don't understand. I have reviewed my content for NPOV as you recommend, and I would like for you to point out examples within the work I posted. I will also be happy to edit per the MOS, but am reluctant to do so without assurances that the WIP will not be pulled. Thanks again for your kind consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dana Joan Reynolds (talk • contribs) 00:55, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

What part of WP:COI is unclear? This is Wikipedia. You will never have any assurance that any work "will not be pulled." Toddst1 (talk) 13:45, 9 February 2016 (UTC

J. J. Jeczalik

Hi,

I was am trying to put correct information on Wikipedia about JJ Jeczalik and it has been removed I would like it put back please as it can be verified. I just haven't had the chance to finish it as there is a lot of information.

I can't work out how to do citeations

Noisemaster K — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noisemaster K (talk • contribs) 19:31, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps it's best to put the information on the talk page with URLs that can be used to make citations. We can't have unverifiable info such as uncredited appearances added to articles. Toddst1 (talk) 19:33, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if I am using this reply page correctly. Would it be possible to restore my work please and then it can be verfied but I can't get the hang of those [1] numbers as when I have tried they end up with another number. It has taken me a long time to write the JJ Jeczalik biog and to find it removed even though it is entirely accurate. Hope this can be sorted out :)Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noisemaster K (talk • contribs) 20:00, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm thinking that with your connection to the subject (see WP:COI), it's probably best that we put that stuff on the talk page and go from there. I'll do that shortly. Toddst1 (talk) 20:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me, If I post my article here with the sources would you allow it back on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noisemaster K (talk • contribs) 20:03, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Better yet, post the sources on Talk: J. J. Jeczalik where I put the contested material. This way other editors can be involved too. It's not up to me to allow it, BTW. Cheers! Toddst1 (talk) 20:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Toddst1

I'll add my the article here tomorrow. The information is not a violation of copyright of what I was putting in. If someone could look at it and where it is sourced from you will see where I am coming from.

Thanks for your help, I had a seizure about a year back, I can write normally but things like The Edit Source and codes <> and stuff come across as rather complex now unlike before where I used work in IT and as you can tell I haven't been able to grasp them :). I would like to apolgise for messing up the system. No harm or hacking was intended. I was just trying to put up something factual rather than a few lame random lines. Noisemaster K (talk) 23:06, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Please don't post it here. It is better posted on Talk:J. J. Jeczalik as I mentioned above. Toddst1 (talk) 07:09, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Skippool

Just seen your edit. Skippool is a tiny area of the English coast that the author is claiming to be a major port. The editor who expanded this from a redirect has made many hoax edits to Wikipedia, many of which blend real facts and fake information. If you look, a major part of the article is talking about the 'Crompton Atlantic' company. It's fake. The article says it's based on a tax haven on a Canadian island named Altair Island. Real island (apparently), no tax haven. (No inhabitants either, as far as I can tell.) Another editor created an article about an aristocratic title called the 'Count of Skippool'. Fake too.

The article is cited to a few blogs and guides about local walks. Bits may be real, I can't tell. But honestly nothing this editor writes can be trusted. I've opened a sockpuppet investigation on them now. The article was created as a redirect, I think it can stay so without doing anyone any harm. Thoughts? Blythwood (talk) 20:56, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

e/c. I was going to say that we should deal with the editor. I'll revert. Toddst1 (talk) 20:59, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Help with Potential Vandalism

Hi Toddst1,

I manage the Golden Key International Honour Society Wikipedia page. We have someone placing comments on our page claiming that we are are scam, which is incorrect. We our a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Atlanta, GA. So we reverted the sentence. Then we received a warning about entering into a edit war.

We are new to Wikipedia and not sure how to handle this situation. How do we know who the user is? We reverted and I don't see their username anymore.

Can you please provide assistance?

Thank you,

Gardner-Webb University page

Hello. For several years, there was a section in the Gardner-Webb University page about an athletics scandal that made national news. A few weeks ago, someone deleted it without explanation. I see that it was reinstated today, removed again, and then the page was locked. Now the article reads like it could have been written by the university's PR department. The scandal section could been better written, but the content was accurate. If anything, the person who removed it committed vandalism. I am hoping that, with some added citations, this section about an important part of GWU's history will be left in place. This is only one of many sources which can be easily located via a Google search: [2]

Hi--I'm updating the page for Johnny J Blair. I see notices that it needs verification. What links or sources would you like? Please advise. Thanks, JJB 3/31/16

Moved from your user page

Todd,

Yes it is a first article. I understand that the section A7 declares that significance must be placed on the page.

The significance that I posit is that Chimera Mobile is the first mobile gaming company of Benjamin Carson. It is an attempt to gamify the works of Benjamin Carson. Please consider this a claim to significance.

Uncertain as to whether a web link is possible or violates TOS. The idea was to return to Wikipedia when I had some time to read up on the TOS and ability to post links.

Thank you for your time.

Spark (horse)

Spark received 1633 views for DYK. However, another article that I was inspired to write off Spark pertaining to Lord Baltimore was Lord Baltimore penny. It received 6,434 views for DYK. If you need any hints on how to improve any of your articles, I'll be glad to help. Form your "help needed" in the way of a specific question and I'll see what I can give you for hints.--Doug Coldwell (talk)

I'm so lucky to have such a humble mentor. Toddst1 (talk) 14:58, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

the key

One idea for making an excellent article is to order through the ILL system many books for the subject you are writing about. All these books I ordered at one time or another for the various articles I created. Sometimes then it becomes a Did You Know article quickly. Hammer Historical Collection of Incandescent Electric Lamps I created on April 19. Two days later on April 21 it was an official DYK on the main page. So "research" is the key here for an excellent article.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 10:55, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Benjamin Loxley was another that took only 2 days from being created to becoming a DYK. Again, heavy duty "research" is the key.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Doug. Now go away. Toddst1 (talk) 14:31, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Sure - just trying to help out. Just showing you if you do much more research on your articles, then you are more likely to get this kind of a result from a new article, like the one I created yesterday. It is in the lead position with the picture for Prep 3 and probably will become an official DYK tomorrow. As you can see the nomination goes a lot quicker when there is much research put into an article ahead of time. Notice also that so far, nobody has made any edit improvements to this article (only added categories and WPs). Just dropping you hints for improvements for your articles. Don't worry, I won't give you any more ideas for improvements = I'll keep all my secrets to myself and continue to make some more DYKs.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 11:39, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

A tag was placed on Sammy Gitonga requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appeared to be about a person, but it did not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable. Toddst1 (talk) 21:45, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Karen Kvashay

Hello, Toddst1. I just wanted to let you know that you may have been a bit hasty in reverting a change made by anonymous user 205.155.11.240 who had added information about Karen Kvashay in the article about T. C. Boyle. You characterized it as unsourced, but the source which referred to Boyle's three children (and which was shown as the source for the info about Kvashay) actually verifies the Kvashay information as well. I'm aware that anonymous user 205.155.11.240's track record has not been a good one, but it seems that in this case he (or she) was trying to do the right thing.--Akhooha (talk) 20:10, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey, this IP user has prematurely adding shows that are not officially canceled by prime time networks and therefore is a disruptive editor, regardless on how you see it. Your actions defending this IP user has no grand standing. Look at one editor had to reverted here. Those networks did not say these shows are canceled officially and this IP user keeps on ignoring that. AdamDeanHall maybe disruptive at time, but that IP user is just as disruptive, maybe more so. There are other editors who have to keep reverted that user's edits and you are defending him/her without looking at his edits real carefully. In fact, you are being very rude to the editors who tried to fix the problem the IP user has been doing in those articles. BattleshipMan (talk) 16:50, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

That's great. {{yo| BattleshipMan}, you've discussed this on which talk pages with the IP? All I see is a bunch of vandalism warnings and a report.

Actions with Wiki members.

Dear Toddst1,

I feel that it is very rude of you to be snooping around peoples articles and telling them off. I am the one who created this article about MYSELF in-game. From what I know, I am allowed to do this. I suggest you stop going around and reporting people. If you have nothing better to do, then go do it somewhere else. Once again, It is very rude of you to go snooping around and I suggest you stop. Wikipedia is a free thing. As for, you can not decide to make me change anything. If there is a problem. I would be glad for Wikipedia to direct contact me, and I can deal with that. If you do not stop, I will be sure to contact Wikipedia and let them know that you have been policing everyone with the wrong information.

Bullying and Threatening of Wikipedia Users by Toddst1

Toddst1,

You need to STOP doing what you are doing. I suggest you stop going around and threatening to permanently ban users based on vague accusations concerning edits that are, in this case, almost a year old. Obviously you have nothing better to do. You need to take it somewhere else. Once again, what you are doing is basically bullying other users and and I suggest you stop. Wikipedia is, by design, an information source meant to be edited by its users. As for you and your threats, you can not direct me change anything. If there is a problem, Wikipedia will contact me, and I can deal with any issues at that time. You need to stop randomly policing and threatening Wikipedia users immediately. If you don't believe me that this is what you are doing, then look at YOUR own talk page. Including myself, 4 out of the 5 topics are users telling you that you are doing either what I just outlined or something similar. You are NOT in ANY WAY, according to your Wikipedia user page, qualified to police ANY of the topics that you have. You are doing it, according to other users that have posted on your talk page, to what seems to be random topics and users.

As for my edit on the Christopher Titus page, everything that I said about the relationship between Titus and his ex-wife was verified as being talked about on his stand-up special entitled Love Is Evol. The false accusations of domestic violence, the lengthy court battle, Titus's feelings about his ex-wife, etc. are all part of his stand-up set in that special, and some of it also comes from his earlier stand-up special Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding. It is obvious that you have not viewed those particular stand-up routines or any other for that matter. Lastly, I highly suggest you not use the word "defamatory" anymore, which heavily implies something that is said with purposeful malicious intent. I will be undoing your removal of my edit. If you remove it again, I will report you to Wikipedia administration using your own talk page as proof that what I and others are alleging that you are doing is true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dfdemt (talk • contribs) 01:30, 2 May 2016‎

I don't think you could be much more misguided about how Wikipedia works. It looks like "Wikipedia" has already "contacted" you and you are "dealing with those issues." Discuss your desire to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS with someone else when your block expires. Toddst1 (talk) 18:38, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

re: May 2016

In today's case, i cut this information from the wrong header and put it here for the sake of clarity and appropriateness.

There are times when i do multiple edits on the fly. For example, when adding a reference used multiple times and it is a redundancy to write that i cut something from one section, and then that i pasted it somewhere else. In those cases i generally just say what i did when i am done. Yes it is technically easier to use the Edit window, but when the coding is as complex as it is on Wikipedia, it is much easier to edit in smaller windows with less text for the sake of clarity, especially when adding or moving text with many reference links.

In other minor cases such as here, or here, or here, any edit under 100 bytes - generally in those cases, after i press Save Page, i do a quick scan to make sure what i edited registered and i notice a minor typo. In those cases i quickly go back in and edit the typo for correctness. I try to type my edits quickly and don't catch every typo on the first pass, so i often give edits a quick QC scan to make sure i didn't miss anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DionWright (talk • contribs) 22:43, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest notice?

I'm curious, could you clarify on what makes you think that I have a conflict of interest with respect to West Ridge Academy? I am probably biased, we all are, and I do try to keep it in check - but bias is not the same thing as COI. To my knowledge, there is nothing about my situation (I have never had any personal, financial, or other relationships or roles with WRA) that puts me in conflict with WP:COI on that article. But maybe I'm missing something. Thanks. --FyzixFighter (talk) 13:02, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Just an observation - it's one of your most edited pages along with a bunch of other LDS-related articles, and your recent deletion looked a lot like whitewashing. If no COI, then so be it. Toddst1 (talk) 18:24, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Irrelevant accusation of "Conflict of interest"

I am putting it here because it really looks like you don't understand what's going on. Let me summarize:

1/ For years, there have been wikipedia articles of ethnographic nature/athropological/cultural about family names. many are stubs because the information is so hard to find. One of them happen to be the name "bakkali".

2/ Recently, someone (I don't know who, but NOT ME !!) created a "Zakaria bakkali" wikipage, after the footballer of the same name. The person who did this, not on;y created the Zakaria Bakkali page, but DELETED the anthropology/family name "bakkali page" and REDIRECTED from Bakkli to "Zakaria Bakkali" !!! Now all those who are looking for the athropology information, are automatically redirected to a football player that noone gives a s**t about!! This is obvious vandalism !!

3/ I have tried to recreate a stub of the family name/anthropology "bakkali page". I don't know how to remove the redirection from "bakkali to "Zakaria bakkali" but this is clearly something wrong that should be removed. The real people to blame are the authors/agent of the footbal player who deleted all the other articles just to be the sole on wiki, leaving out academics. If you are a honest editor, you should do something abaout it, because it's really vandalism and piracy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milshake3000 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Source provided, still ignored

First of all, providing the source for why an invention named after a Norwegian mathematician is Norwegian seems superfluous, especially since both articles reverted had several keys to why they should be part of the categories.

Second, I mentioned sources multiple times in the edits - where else should I put this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcarisland (talk • contribs) 20:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

The content in the article must directly support the categories. That the sources may say something is immaterial if the article doesn't state it. And when the article states it, it should be referenced for WP:V. Toddst1 (talk) 20:52, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

The content in both articles DID provide the necessary sources. Source no. 15 in Object Oriented programming directly stated it. And source no. 1 in Abelian Groups mentions that it's named in the honour of Niels Henrik Abel because as the article mentions:

Abelian groups were named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel by Camille Jordan because Abel found that the commutativity of the group of a polynomial implies that the roots of the polynomial can be calculated by using radicals. See Section 6.5 of Cox (2004) for more information on the historical background.

How do I provide any further sources when all I did was add a category, where it would be, unlike in the middle of the article, pointless to add footnotes? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tcarisland (talk • contribs) 20:58, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

That's the point. The category doesn't belong since the article doesn't support it. The article states ""Xerox PARC (by Alan Kay and others) in the 1970s, introduced the term object-oriented programming" in direct conflict with what you're trying to promote here.

Addition to mortgage discussion (Canada)

HI Todd the additions made to the Canada part of the mortgage page were made to inform consumers of the personal covenant normally found in mortgage contracts. This is not covered anywhere else and it is a very important of mortgage contracts in Canada. The link was to an article I wrote to inform consumers that was well researched and linked to other authoritative government sites in Canada. The link was consistent with others I see throughout Wikipedia such as realtor.com and trulia.com. Not sure how else to add value like this when it is not covered anywhere else. As a professional, I deal with these issues with consumers every week and it is surprising to find out how many are unaware of the information. Your thoughts?

COI

Please continue this discussion on Talk:Kinetic degradation fluxion media or WP:ANI

---

Toddst1, Talk:Kinetic degradation fluxion media you're not serious are you? I thought you want to "move on" but after making unfounded accusations you now have to defend yourself from the consensus at the talk page. I can read the article as being notable, but these personal attacks are obviously baseless and will be seen as such. I'm disappointed as you've kept a COI editor off one of my articles recently, so I have a lot of respect for you. Widefox; talk 15:08, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my name. Two of us have asked you to withdraw it. I think it best to clear the air completely by apologising for the several WP:AGF issues in your dealings with that article. You're against the local consensus, so I'd rather you realise this sooner, rather than me push this. For heavens sake, I've done a fair bit of COI work. It doesn't even add up as an accusation as if I knew them why would I want an advert gone? Do you think reconsidering may be worthwhile? Per WP:BURDEN this permastub isn't going away Toddst1. Widefox; talk 12:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't see what's wrong with the current sourcing and I don't understand why you are so negative about this article in its current state. If you have no COI, I don't get it. Sure, it was garbage when we both stumbled across it, but I think it's now in decent shape. I've been pretty merciless on other articles that are promotional too, but in it's current state, it doesn't seem to me to be a problem. If you disagree, please take it to AFD. Toddst1 (talk) 14:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I think you've done a great job turning it around. Really. You succeeded finding sources where I failed. Agree that one could look at the sourcing and say job done. There's a but, I respect your good faith attempts at improvement. It's at AfD now, and with a fresh look it's debateable about notability. I don't think it's "negative" to tackle COI, spam, copyvios and crap articles - a real TNT. I'm concerned that stuff like this is in here. Even your good rewrite doesn't address the fundamentals. I respect those that want to save them, but against the long term effects per WP:BOGOF. Anyhow, why are you blaming the messenger with the COI? Choosing to put yourself up to save an article is honorable, but so is choosing to not have to bother. Widefox; talk 14:32, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Erm, WP:SYN now? Step back, realise how ludicrous this looks to others. Read SYN. Read LEDE. Read brass. Note sure you noticed, but the talk page also has two copyvios detailed by two editors. Can you explain why you didn't take them seriously? This isn't a content dispute anymore, so where do you suggest I take this? COIN? ANI? Making all these accusations and not backing any of them up, this is just going against consensus and common sense now. Widefox; talk 15:41, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm not sure what the issue is.

• You removing reliably sourced content and replacing it with your unsourced observation/summary is not cool. None of the literature refer to this alloy as "brass." Why would you?
• The article is at AFD as you wanted.
• I really don't understand the veracity of your interest in seeing this article removed. As I've said before, it seems like something else is going on. You say nothing else is, so be it.

Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean it's a problem. If you think this is an issue for ANI, then by all means, discuss it there. Toddst1 (talk) 16:14, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Bob Ross

Hi Toddst1;

I see that you reverted/disallowed my edits to the Commemoration & pop culture section on the Bob Ross page. (I wrote a sentence on Bob Ross being mentioned in an episode of the T.V. show "Chuck".) I just wanted to know why you didn't think it should be allowed. I am not well-versed in Wikipedia editing but I have read as many rules as I have the time to and I thought my contribution, though slight, at least conformed to the guidelines. My feeling was that my edit was definitely a valid Pop Culture reference to Bob Ross, and similar to the line about a Bob Ross-inspired character in "The Boondocks". If I need to change the way the episode is referred to (for example, that the reference was in an episode titled "Chuck versus the Tango" which first aired in 2007) that's fine, I can do that. But will you please let me know what you thought it was lacking?

-SJM — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjmiller J.D. (talk • contribs) 07:30, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

We generally frown on adding every mention of something in an encyclopedia per WP:TRIVIA. If a mention was significant or WP:NOTABLE then we generally include it. Toddst1 (talk) 16:36, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to give an explanation. I can see after reading the WP:TRIVIA article how the subject of my edit could fall under Trivia, especially the way I had quoted it. The strongest argument I have for it being a worthwhile Pop Culture reference and not trivia is because I didn't know anything about Bob Ross and the "Chuck" reference actually informed me enough to look up Bob Ross and find out more about him, hence my edit: As per the WP:TRIVIA article, "In determining whether a reference is encyclopedic, one helpful test can be to look at whether a person who is familiar with the topic only through the reference in question has the potential to learn something meaningful about the topic from that work alone." I did learn from the episode reference that Bob Ross was a painter with a show on PBS, wore an afro (or perm) and had a soothing voice, although I acknowledge that some may not consider that "something meaningful about the topic". However, I understand that my attempted edit did not really get that message across. I'll keep the information in mind for future edits. Thanks. Sjmiller J.D. (talk) 11:04, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Laura Fortman

Hi Toddst1, I'm surprised that you slapped such a large tag on this page because of Fortman's two degrees. I thought that personal details like dates of degrees were fine to source to a primary source, as long as the subject herself is adequately verified by secondary sources. But I have gone ahead and removed the dates of her degrees and most of the LinkedIn citations. I'm not sure I understand why this is "written like an advertisement" – it's just a dry bio.

Battle of Barrington

I do not understand why Toddst1 is accusing me of vandalizing the Battle Of Barrington article. I am the individual who has practically written and edited the article and have done research concerning the article. Everything is accurate. Nelson was shot 17 times, I found this in a memo written by J.Edgar Hoover. I've have been polishing this article for quite sometime and I do not understand why, now, Toddst1 has accused me of vandalism. I use my full name, Frederick Crowe, on Wikipedia and do not hide behind a screen name. I hope Toddst1 reconsiders his hasty appraisal of what I have been doing to better the article and Wikipedia. I have had an account on Wikipedia for a long time and frankly, I feel hurt at what Toddst1 has stated. I completely believe in what Wikipedia is doing, I have donated to Wikipedia and I would never do anything to undermine this encyclopedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frederick crowe (talk • contribs) 23:17, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

DemExit

Hello. First, I am sorry that you have had to waste so much time on this stupid DemExit Wikipedia. The person who wrote the note about me creating the user name in an attempt to get the page removed is right. I really have NO idea at all how to do anything on Wikipedia but it was brought to my attention that something I own the website for and have the twitter and facebook usernames for now has a Wikipedia. It upset me greatly to see something I created turned into something political and have the writer slant everything to fit her agenda towards recent events. I actually am not contesting deletion. I want it deleted and in fact want to know if it can be deleted permanently never to be re-written again. Seriously, this is nothing more than a hashtag. It's a small movment but not even worthy of a Wikipedia page. The only reason I made edits at all was to try to get whoever is in charges attention to get all the stuff removed. I am not good in English and as I said I have no idea how to edit. I just couldn't stand watching some lefty making a Wikipedia page just to help some political candidate. I read the rules that the owner of something cannot be the editor because its bias but people are editing things on that page and putting totally false info. This #DemExit hashtag did trend on twitter. I don't know what else to say. Sorry for all the garbage. The guy is right its complete drivel. Please speedy delete and I hope the page doesn't pop up again. I don't want to get banned from here I am just trying to get this page taken down

German American page edit

At the start of the article it says partial ancestry. I have about 30 percent german in me. I don't feel like that makes me a "German" I just don't feel that's right to call someone a "german" so to speak if this is the case. I'd say most americans at this point are pretty mixed. The 46 million makes no sense to me. LarrySonic (talk) 23:21, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

I now understand and get your point of view.

Radio Suomipop

Just a quick thought about the above article. I'm not really sure why it is on the English version, as there is a substantial entry in the Finnish one https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Suomipop which presumably meets the notability criteria.

It was originally marked for swift deletion as it had no references at all, so I happened to be passing by and added some. Perhaps some sort of redirect might be in order, but as I'm new to this and have no idea what to do, thought I might raise it with you.

Looks like WP dissuades lists with no context to explain the list. That makes sense sure. I just thought it strange that you deleted many rows of data from the list but kept many other rows intact. The Aqua Mail entry had a citation to justify its note that emails and uid/passwords are not stored in any cloud. I am not affiliated with Aqua Mail, just an Aqua Mail user. I came back to the article to start verifying what I had read because I am about to buy into the full version - and noticed the wiki article was all chopped up.Thanks for the info, it makes sense.

I did not see i should no remove the Tag myself apologizes for it... if anything else i should no do just let me know, all i am trying is to collaborate no to cause any issue, and again this is about a famous person that is not on wikipedia all i did was try to collaborate apologizes if i did something wrong on it, please let me know if the changes i have made may help to remove the tag and you more than welcome to edit the article if you beliefe is done no right at the end is a living person who is pretty famous and have several interactions with the news as the reference shows — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inuevayork (talk • contribs) 21:20, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Also wanted to ask you on one of your revisions you mention "one of the contributors maybe" is associated with the person? I really know the producer because I am latino but it no means that i do know personaly this person, and i have no add anything personal or him his favor all the information i add is public and can be corroborate by big sources, Just curious i am no a big editor i will love just to follow the rules i have try to learn and i will love to learn more — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inuevayork (talk • contribs) 21:35, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

I found you remove most of the valid references, are coming from News Papers, but this dude was actually perscute by Hugo Chavez and is all over the news you remove all the references? Is fine for me that you think i am associated with them just because i write of them but in fact is real references all are real, he is a politican a pretty well known one — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inuevayork (talk • contribs) 21:47, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

You add a tack that is disambiguate but here a link http://www.ecuadorinmediato.com/Noticias/news_user_view/ecuadorinmediato_noticias--85762 that effectively talk about of him getting accuse for doing activities against the government things that the media clearly estates (accusation) was false — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inuevayork (talk • contribs) 21:50, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

examine the edit

I suggest you ought to examine the claims being sourced to Seventeen (magazine) at Richard J. Jensen and the precise wording of the source. I suggest you will find the source is not a reliable source for the claims of fact ascribed to it, and that the use of that source is violative of WP:BLP. I further suggest that you will indeed find that I was not engaged in an edit war with my three edits from July to date. I further point out that you seem to not understand the use of "Nevertheless, her paper was considered sufficiently worthy " which is not neutrally worded, and which wording is not used in the Oxford Journal which is a primary source for such a publication. Also one should note Fried has revised that article on 6/20/2016. Collect (talk) 20:07, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

You seem to not understand that I don't care about that content. The edit war is plain and I'm not a party. Toddst1 (talk) 20:10, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Horsefeathers. The fact is that the BLP issue was clear, the "edit war" was three edits in three months, and it is clear that saying you do not give a damn about WP:BLP is unimpressive as an argument. In addition, you ignored WP:DTTR. And your edit saying "this clears things up" managed to insert your own editorial view about the content, where the issue had been raised in the past, as you ought to have noted. If you in future have a question about the reasoning for an edit on a BLP, I suggest you read WP:BLP/N histories concerning that article first. Cheers. Collect (talk) 07:21, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

HPNGC and "Black Separatism"

Regarding this edit, I wanted to clarify that designating HPNGC was a "black separatist" group is a controversial statement, and this claim needs to be supported by a reliable source and discussed on the Talk page. I have already explained the BBC source and concluded that it does not actually support the claim that HPNGC is a black separatist group. If you disagree, please explain your decision to re-insert this claim into the article. Thanks. -Iamozy (talk) 14:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Women in music

Hello Toddst1. I deleted those paragraphs from the Women in music page because they were interviews that do not have fact to them. They are not neutral in tone, as Wikipedia encourages. Those quotes are in fact opinions and not appropriate to be in the "conducting" portion of the page. They do not give any fact for the reader to use and learn from. I would appreciate you seeing that these few paragraphs are opinion based and should in fact be removed from the page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Weeziefhorn23 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

They were presented as opinion. You removed them because you objected to the opinion[4]. While I don't like those opinions much either and we strive for WP:NPOV, we don't delete stuff because WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I think you should raise your concerns on the article talk page.

Michael Shiner and references

Thanks so much for your work combining the references in the Michael Shiner article. I really should learn how to do this myself, rather than leaving a mess for other people to clean up. Can you point me to a link where I could learn this? ThanksABF99 (talk) 21:44, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

@ABF99: First off, you didn't leave a mess. I just saw a work in progress and thought I'd jump in before you got too far down the road. The best way to learn about citations is Wikipedia:Citing sources. Check out the WP:TW tool which makes creating them much easier. Good luck and feel free to ask me and others for other pointers. I can tell you're here to do some incredible work for the project. Toddst1 (talk) 03:57, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I would like to disclose that I have a conflict of interest. I am new to Wikipedia. Could you help me fill out the following template?

@GlobalHealthatYale: Thanks for asking for help. Paste the following into the talk page of the one you want to declare:

{{Connected contributor | checked = | User1 = GlobalHealthatYale | U1-EH = yes | U1-declared = yes |U1-otherlinks = |U1-banned = }}

Save the change. Then look in the talk page history and paste the diff of the edit that saved the template where "otherlinks" is. If you need help with the last bit, I can do it for you. Just let me know here.

Also, you should put a note on your talk page saying you're connected to the program, but this is not required, just a good idea showing good faith. Toddst1 (talk) 21:38, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "PEPSICO", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because It suggests shared use as a corporation.

Mack EH

At Talk:Mack_model_EH_trucks I just archived most of the past discussions, most personal between me and one other person. I then pasted the beginning of the discussion back onto the talk page. This leaves all discussion except some personal stuff on the talk page. Within minutes you reverted that. I would appreciate it if you would replace the archive. Thank you. Sammy D III (talk) 01:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

@Sammy D III:

1. When you blank out a large portion of a talk page while archiving, leave an edit summary. Otherwise you look like a vandal.
2. When you archive a talk page, be sure to leave a pointer to it on the talk page. Toddst1 (talk) 01:46, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for replacing it. I did not know how to flag it, I just left a link. That being said, you jumped the gun, made a quick (and incorrect) judgment, and acted on it. This was sort of a no-brainer, and you missed it. It's not a race. Thank you. Sammy D III (talk) 02:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

@Sammy D III: Your edit stands on its own and looked like vandalism. Either way, you did a lousy job archiving the talk page and it needed to be cleaned up by someone else and you should be using edit summaries. If you feel the need to project that on to someone else, good luck collaborating on Wikipedia. Toddst1 (talk) 02:26, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, thanks for the firm scolding. The no edit summary might trigger a flag, but you made the bad judgment call. Then you talked down to me and gave that drive-by at the article. Here's your answer, by the way:

The "wheel arrangement" designation is number of wheels x number of driven wheels. There are two wheels per axle, dual tires are counted as one wheel. Some series have both single and dual tire versions.Crismon, Fred W (2001). US Military Wheeled Vehicles (3 ed.). Victory WWII Pub. p. 10. ISBN 0-970056-71-0. plus any US Army TM 9- series operators manual.

I made a good faith edit on an article that I have contributed more than half the content. Someone stopped by in minutes, did not check the page or talk page history, did not understand what was being moved, instead just reverted and started dishing out crap. After all these years I don't really need it. Thank you.Sammy D III (talk) 03:26, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
