Hello greyfell. I put up a new and improved one based on some of the research you told me about. please let me know if you think this is better. hre it is too cut and pasted for you to see.
Riddlesbrood Theater[edit] Self-Help Theater: The New Jersey-based Riddlesbrood Touring Theater company concerns itself with the typical dinner theater fare - Murder Mystery shows, Comedy shows, and some community Theater - but what has piqued the interest of many critics and sets this troupe apart is their penchant for propagating a strange self-help message, beyond the Christian themes one would usually expect. A few theater watchers don't know what to make of the different language, an entirely new creation, they use to communicate with each other and to the audience in their shows. [22]. Some reviewers are put off by it; others just seem confused. What is particularly unique is how they seemingly embed ideas from the New Thought movement into the shows. Many elements of their custom scripts propagate a “Positive," can-do belief system that is based on a fictional narrative of a spectral visitation experienced by the founder, which has been employed as a back story for the troupe itself. Much of this self-help message and ideology is outlined on the troupe's website. [23] The Director is also quoted, “What you can conceive and believe, you can achieve” in an article referencing Napoleon Hill TaggzTowerz (talk) 21:52, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

I'm not a spammer, and www.giocoleria.org don't sell anything! it's a free community with 30000 italian jugglers. I think the link in wikipedia it's legal and it's not spam or adversiting. We want only to be a great site for jugglers and juggling world. (I'm sorry for my english, I hope you can understand me :D) have a nice day! LSamael1976 11:17, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello, you've undid my change to The Spamhaus Project article and commented on my talk page that I didn't included reliable sources. But I've had listed two references to Spamhaus listing and delisting terms. They clearly approve that they will do what I've described in my changes to article. Here those links:
SBL listings are immediate and, in the case of known spam operations, are preemptive. The SBL does not require warnings or have a 'grace period' and does not require physical evidence of spam received from any specific IP to qualify a listing (in the case of known spam gangs, any IPs under their control are listed on sight)
To request the removal of an SBL listing, the ISP to whom the listed IP address belongs must contact the SBL Team, by email, using the dynamic 'mailto' link visible on the SBL record page.
I think this information should be in the article, because it is important enough to know. Please let me know your opinion on this. NStorm (talk) 05:03, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Only major ISP can request removal. [1]

Dear Grayfell,
Please excuse me that I am not yet familiar with the correct protocol for contacting you on Wikipedia.
I am working with lawyers in New Delhi to file a criminal complaint within the next week detailing blackmail, extortion,and fraud, along with Cyber crimes such as Intellectual property theft, cyber stalking, and other crimes, and with their permission I may be able to provide you with a copy, not for publication, but for your information, so that you can be assured what I am telling you is legitimate. I think, though, you can easily see a pattern on the Baba Rampuri article that lends towards this. I am an intellectual, an author, teacher, and blogger with a 44 year record and interest in Oral Tradition and Sacred Speech. I am in the process of writing my next book, "Sacred Speech." This is clearly not the pattern of entries or attempted entries in this article. Wikipedia is being used by cyber criminal(s) in a way that goes against the principles and goals of Wikipedia in order to threaten me, and deceive you and the public.
If there is a better way of communicating with you and others regarding this, especially if there is a somewhat "secure" way of doing this, I would appreciate precise instructions, and I believe we can solve this issue in a collective way.
Thank you for your patience with me.
Best wishes,

Completely disagree as to your removal of the links to the sex education documentary. The youtube documentary is a scientific documentary which was approved by the UK TV standards watchdog (read the judgement here http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/enforcement/broadcast-bulletins/obb77/issue77.pdf which youtube has concurred). The point is not to boost a websites count but to educate the public. Restricted videos on youtube are not allowed to have commercial gain. Your reconsideration is appreciated as this is an important educational source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chemicalnasties (talk • contribs) 22:07, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Dear Grayfell.
Japanese Rising Sun flag have been the symbol of Japanese imperialistic army. It is not a problem of value judgment, but a historical fact. If you want to apply the principle of neutrality, you have to apply the same principle to the Nazi's Hakenkreuz symbol because the Rising sun symbol is Japanese version of Hakenkreuz. Is there anybody who protect the Hakenkreuz and Nazi in our planet? The perception about Japanese Rising Sun symbol have not been proper in western because western people have not known about the historical tragic facts those are much similar to the facts about the Nazi. Moreover, Japanese and other people who don't know the right fact, even use this symbol unconcernedly. I think it is necessary to make a link between the page of Rising Sun symbol and the page of Hakenkreuz symbol to inform the right fact.
Thank you for reading this.
Best regard, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.107.197.252 (talk) 05:49, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment, Oda mari.
Your opinion is right. The Hakenkreuz and Japanese Rising Sun represent for Nazi party and Japanese imperialistic army, respectively.
But, tragic things those had been done by Japanese and German war criminals under two symbols, are very similar: ex) massacre, human experimentation, biological warfare, military sexual slavery, etc. In other words, two logos represent imperialism in common although two logos symbolize entities in different categories.
Historical facts related these can not be treated 'simply', absolutely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.107.197.252 (talk) 12:31, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Oda Mari. You are trying to blur the essence of this problem by picking on abnormal examples. Moreover, I can't see your examples because the links shows just the main page of Japanese Yahoo.
I like your country, Japan. But, I feel so sad when I see some of peoples in the Japan, who are called 'ultranationalists'. I hope that you are not one of them. And, I hope that the number of peoples who have the same opinion with you about the tragic history, is very small.
None of the links either of you has posted meets external link guidelines or reliable source guidelines. Wikipedia doesn't shy away from controversial issues, but we try to deal with them civilly, and from a neutral point of view. The appropriate place to discuss this further is Talk:Rising Sun Flag, thank you. Grayfell (talk) 21:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, Grayfell I will visit the Talk:Rising Sun Flag.

Grayfell, I received a message that you deleted http://www.williamdhastings.com/penitentiary-lexicon/a/ from the external links section of the "Prison Slang" page. I believe that the author of the site, a currently incarcerated felon who is mid-way through a 19-year sentence, would have a superlative knowledge and expert experience relating to contemporary prison slang. Please consider re-activating the link, as the content is accurate, relevant, and useful. Thank you for your time and your valuable input managing Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.27.157.233 (talk) 18:29, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
OK. Thank you for your explanation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.27.157.233 (talk) 02:31, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
In the "Products" section, I have added that the Vemma formulation has been reviewed and published within the scientific community. I then included links to two studies as references, one from the Vemma website (because I could not obtain a publicly-available link elsewhere) and the other from another site. You have deleted this additional information and reference. What is the reasoning behind this action?
In the "Business Model" section, I revised it to say that Brand Partners are not recognized as distributors. The company's compensation plan actually says that and I therefore linked to the page for reference. You have reverted this to say that the company sells products through independent distributors. This statement is not consistent with fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.115.145 (talk) 05:12, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
BRAND PARTNERS ARE NOW BEING REFERRED TO AS AFFILIATES! And Vemma is considering themselves an Affiliate Marketing Company not. I placed a viable source on the bottom attached to a video. I did this on the wiki page yet you keep removing the link! Please consider Vemma an Affiliate Marketing Company.
http://www.businessforhome.org/2013/11/vemma-2-0-announced-brand-partners-will-be-affiliates/
Greyfall, here is another link determining that to be true. Don't make a judgement call based on your opinionated issue. This site is meant for facts, not what you think. And especially since you probably have 0 affiliate marketing experience compared to what I have, you should definitely take this as a reliable source:
— Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.44.118.18 (talk) 14:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Wait so I put another source in the link besides business for home that is unrelated to Vemma and you turn it down?! I have a video of our CEO talking about our move to Affiliate Marketing, do you want to se that? Stop being biased. I am neither a supporter of Vemma or a hater, I just edit websites correctly and where they need be. http://www.international.to/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27338%3Avemma®-makes-the-move-to-affiliate-marketing&catid=309%3Apitchengine&Itemid=446 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.72.6.146 (talk) 14:39, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
You are being incredibly biased. You take important information way such as Chris Powell supporting the Bode Brand and you put down information from Truth in Advertising which is an organization like Business for home, they therefore they are biased and not credible. And the NY Post form a woman who has no network/affiliate marketing experience. What about the unbiased sources that provide positive facts? What about the actual Vemma site which is the most credible out of every source since it is the companies site!?!? Do you choose to leave those out because you are ignorant? Either/or your running this site, be unbiased and act like a professional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.72.6.146 (talk) 14:48, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Our mutual friend is at it again. I'll warn him but I'm reluctant to revert him myself yet again because it might look like an edit war, but if you feel like reverting and he then re-reverts then there's a strong argument for admin intervention. andy (talk) 22:19, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
You removed properly sourced information in the Awards and Accolades section. 1) Asean Business Advisory Council is a highly regarded industry body of the Asean region that has instituted the MBA awards 5 years ago and several notable and prominent Malaysian business leaders were recognised at this event, as shown in the news report in The Sun newspaper, one of the largest circulated publications in Malaysia. 2) Information about the NGI Excellence award was sourced from The Malaysian Times. I have now added an additional reference from the Gulf News[2] , one of the biggest publications in UAE that also confirms this information. it is not up to any individual to decide whether an award is notable or not, unless there is evidence to back it up.

Hello, this is sjscott80 -- sorry, I'm not a pro at Wikipedia, so I may not be writing this code correctly. I just saw that you had deleted my link on Theodore Beale (Vox Day)'s page. I had added the link as the author of the interview because I thought the extensive interview would shed some significant, objective light on him and his website and add information that people would find useful. But I'll leave it up to the community to decide! :) Sjscott80 (talk) 00:18, 22 November 2013 (UTC)sjscott80
Thanks for the feedback! If you're interested, mind taking the time to read the full interview (it's lengthy)? http://www.sjscworldwide.com/blog/blogging-case-study-vox-popoli-vox-day/ Perhaps you or others may or may not think that he states things that are "newsworthy" enough to include. If so, then I or someone could alter the line to include excerpts of the interview to add more context rather than simply state that he was interviewed. Either way, it's cool!

Hi, Im guessing that if you've decoded my user name you are VERY familiar with Meow Wolf! I'm a little disappointed by the volume of your deletion, but its still much better than it was. I am brand new to wikipedia editing and mainly joined because it seemed like the Meow Wolf article was stuck as a stub. I definitely want it to be objective and accurate. I do not think the wolf pac section is important, it is as minor and any of the more minor art shows you deleted, but I wont re-edit your edit. Thank you for your input.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Beta Theta Pi members, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Donald Peterson and William Cook (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi Grayfell, thank you for your comment about Michael Levine. I will fix those errors.
Thank you, Cczeto (talk) 15:48, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Grayfell,
I know you deleted the Michael Levine photo and that was not a violation of code at all. That photo belongs solely to Michael. So, I don't know if I titled it wrong because we used that for a article that was written about him. I would like to upload it again. I am sorry that I am not understanding some things I am new at this and read every guideline before I do any edits.
Thank you. Cczeto (talk) 22:31, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
Hi Grayfell,
You made yourself very clear ... and THANK YOU for being very clear. I do not want to make dumb mistakes. I like being here. I did read the instructions on uploading images and just miss the understanding and that I apologize for. I am in no way of wanting to promote Michael Levine or his books. My sole purpose is to be informational about who he is and what he has accomplished, that's all. The only reason I liked to Amazon (which I will never do again with anything I do, Ron Jones, a volunteer with you, educated me on that) was to show he really wrote those books. I edited his profile again and reference only to his publishing companies which I should have done in the beginning. I thought in my mind if I showed he was an author of books that were being sold on credible or reliable outlets that would be a credible source. But I am learning. Please check his profile and if there is anything else that is needed or needs to be change then please let me know. I would like to add a History section that Ron suggested but don't know how to do that. Again, I am not interested in promoting Levine.
Thank you for your time Grayfell, (Cczeto (talk) 00:42, 13 December 2013 (UTC)).
Hi Grayfell, Well I am not familiar with Tom Melody but no I am not interested in promoting him either. I will work in this and get it right. Again thank you for your comments. (Cczeto (talk) 01:32, 13 December 2013 (UTC)).
Hi there,
On MonaVie the Huffington post "source" at citation 13: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/19/monavie-juice-pyramid-sch_n_651845.html
isn't actually Huffington Post. It's a redirect to a blog that has no editorial oversight whatsoever. The huffpo snippet is just a title scraper to the huffpo food blog. Please remove this citation. The accompanying scheme text is supported by the Forbes blogpost.
You'll see a similar situation with newsweek at cite 10. That is a deadlink. How about leave the Forbes blog piece (cite 12) to support the scheme angle.
Cite 10 and 13 should go.

I have provided references along with all the edits. Mata Amritanandamayi is not devi. Devi means goddess. A living person cannot be devi, unless it is a name given So, correct that part.

Hi Grayfell, I recently added a link to a music video about Salvation Mountain and Slab City to their respective Wikipedia pages. The link was to a song that was written about the Salvation Mountain and Slab City with a loving dedication to Leonard Knight. Leonard and others at Slab City, Salvation Mountain and East Jesus all loved Kylie Campion, the artist who wrote the song. Leonard asked her to help spread the word. The song and the video are going to be used in an upcoming documentary about Leonard and Salvation Mountain by Picture Lock Studios. I was wondering why you removed it? Did I do something wrong? Can we get it back up there? Please let me know. Thanks Camptunes (talk) 18:11, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Hey, just giving you a head's up about what I'm doing with the article. I'm looking to see if there are any new sources out there for him. I've found a review for one of his documentaries and if I can find more, then that could help establish notability.

Factually Chuck's Challenge 3D is list on Desura however it has now been changed to 'Invite Only' which mean you can no longer download it from Desura unless you get special permission from the Developer. It is now available on Steam instead. Hence why I have updated where you can get it from Allack (talk) 09:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Fair enough, I guess I wasn't very clear. We shouldn't pick-and-choose which sites we include. If a site was worth mentioning in the past, why is it no-longer worth mentioning now? While I don't think we should bother with listing all of these sites, I'm not willing to remove them just yet. As I said (on your talk), if secondary sources can be found we can re-assess this. Greenlight isn't a store, but it is a process by which a game reaches a store. The date it was voted on for Greenlight seems very trivial, and a tad promotional, and I'm not sure why it matters. Chip's Challenge already gives too much WP:WEIGHT to a different game that happens to be by the same author. I was attempting to trim it down a bit. I intend to trim it down further, but I wanted to give you an opportunity to respond, and hopefully find some secondary sources. Grayfell (talk) 23:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
It currently mentions that the game got to Steam via Greenlight. I'll expand that to make it clearer, but I think there are more pressing problems. I think you posted the wrong link, since it doesn't include the quote about Chip's Challenge. The gamerattitude review is by a guy who has only reviewed one game. The site is still very small, has no contact information to speak of, and the only reference to Chip's Challenge is in a search-tag. Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Reference library is a page specifically designed for this type of situation. Sorry, if I'd remembered it, I would've mentioned it sooner. Be wary of press-releases hosted by news sites, which are a common stumbling block. They aren't reliable as secondary sources. Grayfell (talk) 00:37, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Okay. Those are all pretty good (except the Steam Store one, which is WP:PRIMARY, not secondary). I have reigned in a lot of material that seemed pretty superfluous to me. The Desura thing is one of them, but I also removed a lot of info about being Kickstarted and Greenlit, as well. Upon consideration, it just seemed too trivial. As you may have noticed, none of the secondary sources actually talk about that stuff. If the Chuck's Challenge games get their own page someday, then maybe. My intention was to keep the article at an appropriate WP:WEIGHT, which is pretty light, since the games are fairly new, fairly small, and are being discussed in an article about a different game. At this point it's become clear that the place to discuss any further edits is at Talk:Chip's Challenge -not here. Grayfell (talk) 10:23, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Grayfell,
Thank you for your kind welcome to Wikipedia.
I don't see why changing the order of some paragraphs indicates that I'm biased. I think it's fair when describing a company to present their research studies before other people's opinions. Mannatech has a few studies that show that their supplements are helpful. That to me is more significant than the opinion of a 10 independent glycobiologists. The article quotes about 10 glycobiologists that felt they were ineffective, but there were no specific studies mentioned.
I think whoever wrote the article on Mannatech was biased against their supplements. The only question with their supplements is whether they are effective or not. There are no known negative side effects. When you compare them to drugs, such as antidepressants, they are extremely safe.
By the way, are you on Wikipedia's staff?
Sincerely, Sam 95.86.92.87 (talk) 23:01, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
P.S. In the first paragraph of this page, I think you meant "four tildes" not "for tildes."
The article Union High School (Utah) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dudel250 (talk) 03:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Greetings: I hope you can explain to me why the references to The Patents Video have been deleted from the Patent Troll page. As pointed out in my last version, in the early 1990s (I began practising IP law in the Silicon Valley in 1990), lawyers in the patent profession used the term Patent Troll to describe Jerry Lemelson (do you know who he was?). At any rate, in my video made in 1994, which I do not sell anymore, I just have the clip on YouTube, we depicted a patent troll. I certainly have ample evidence of that (before there was internet of course, and we barely had email at that time). It was sold to hundreds of universities, law firms and companies as stated on YouTube. I left the US in 2004, and it was not until 2007 or 2008 that I became aware that Mr. Detkin held himself out as "coining" a phrase in 2000 that had been around for yonks. I took exception. So, after negotiation, the page was changed. I did not think about it until today, and I now find another person has taken credit, Anne Gundlefinger. So I changed it again. And then it change back. So I changed it again. And then it changed back. How is it that it changes so fast and no one has discussed this with me? At any rate, it should tell the truth. Neither Anne Gundlefinger or Peter Denkin coined the phrase. It was around when I made the video. ~~Paula N.

There are no promotional pieces in the YTB Internatonal section.The information you add and place as "current" on the YTB page are not reflecting the current status of the company and it appears as you have an axe to grind somehow by taking off everything that might be positive about a company and only adding negative views. This is biased. I made sure to show all the aspects of both the bad and the good about this company to allow the reader to learn about the company without weight or emotion. I have followed some of your edits and noticed you have something with mlm companies. Not sure if you are a person who buys into these companies or if you had been a part of YTB itself? If you cannot keep your opinions and edits unbiased and current - with fact and no emotion, perhaps you should consider it. No more rumors. KillTheRumor (talk) 03:20, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello there Grayfell. Sorry to disturb you, but in this edit diff here: [9], you mentioned that I needed to insert some secondary sources to make the article crunch and not puff. Could you please tell me what did you mean by that? -- Vacationlandman (talk) 06:40, 3 June 2014 (UTC)?
I see you have discovered Jordan Burroughs! How did you learn of the Olympic Gold Medalist? Sometimes, on Wikipedia, I feel like someone is checking everything I do, you know? Have you ever had that feeling? Like someone is always watching! Anyway, you didn't really think I only contributed to the Yank Barry discussion did you? The talk page, sure. There is no Burroughs talk page, just one guy who doesn't understand wrestling. I can tell from your edits and reverts you don't know much about college or Olympic wrestling either do you? As far as edits to the actual article, though, I've only made one edit to the Yank Barry article and believe me that was a nightmare. Even though you are not a fan of how I try to contribute to articles, I do appreciate you not just outright reverting all my work and rendering my time wasted. That is a horrible feeling. I have made at least 4 times the edits to the Jordan Burroughs article as I have the Yank Barry article, yet I've still been called awful names at that Yank Barry page. Tough place to try and be a Wikipedian. Anyway, I guess I'll see you at Jordan Burroughs page or the Yank Barry page. Hey, can you be an SPA by definition if you are contributing to two articles? Also, if you'd like me to fill you in on anything as far as wrestling is concerned I'd be more than happy. You seem to be more of an academic than athletic. I meant that as a compliment. Good night, sir.--Dr Gonzo5269 (talk) 02:15, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Okay slow down. I didn't write everything in the Jordan Burroughs article. I wrote a section, and added to others. I understand what you are saying. I did't think describing a match as thrilling would be a problem. It WAS thrilling and that goes for Taylor and Burroughs, not just Burroughs, but even if that is a no go, most of that was already there and I wrote in the spirit of the article so it wouldn't seem out of place. I wasn't just going to show up and revert a bunch of work and waste an editor's time, I don't like it when that is done to me. My question is why can't you help me without suggesting I read something I've read 50 times? I'm a teacher, I'm not totally dense. I can comprehend simple subjects at least. However, I am new to Wikipedia, so no, I don't know all the ins and outs and rights and wrongs. I wish I could find an editor on here who would help me without calling me names and assuming things that are blatantly false. Please lets go over the Yank Barry edits. I had an edit reverted, which I changed, then it was reverted, and I left it. Then another editor said it was okay, so I added it again, then it was reverted. All of this was under the same topic, please check, I'm not an out and out liar, and I'm certainly not on here for a single purpose! I thought I explained the Yank Barry article has an active talk page where I see problem after problem. The Jordan Burroughs page does NOT have an active talk page. How am I going to have a bunch of talk page edits on the Jordan Burroughs page to myself? Go ahead and count talk page edits if you want, but if you need me to explain this further I'm happy to. Please, continue to vet me, there is nothing worse than being misunderstood. Also, I thought I added citation to the Burroughs article, I meant to, please show me where I didn't and I'll correct it. My overall point is I'd appreciate help without being treated like an idiot or a puppet. I just want to be treated how every other editor on Wikipedia would like to be treated. Thanks.--Dr Gonzo5269 (talk) 15:00, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
Also, I didn't edit under an IP address. I signed up at the end of May, can you guess why then? I just wanted to contribute to articles in a positive manner. It's been a bumpy ride and fellow editors have NOT been overly friendly. Some of that was my fault and where it was I have apologized and correct the matter. However, a lot of it was a total lack of good faith (I was called a sock on my second day, when the YB article was the third one I came across, right? not trying to make a false claim) from the beginning. I have other questions but I'll let you respond to what I've posted here so far. Thanks.--Dr Gonzo5269 (talk) 15:05, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm sorry to keep bothering you. I have a question. Is there anyway for me to see when people respond to me (for example when you respond to my posts above) if they don't use the reply feature? Also, just to be clear, no matter how many articles I edit, if I spend 90% of my time at the Yank Barry talk page (where I have come across the most problems), are you saying it's fair game for editors to call me names and assume I have ulterior motives? I just don't understand how I can be called an SPA when, you know for a fact, I have other articles I am trying to contribute to. That is the last one, I will await your response, please try to be nice. I'm a grown man, I don't expect you to take me under your wing, like some kid, but any cordial help would be appreciated. Nobody likes to be harshly criticized and made to feel stupid, you know? Thanks.--Dr Gonzo5269 (talk) 15:36, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
