Adjusted the comment per your feedback. If you'd like to change it further or revert it to a pared-down version feel free, I just thought it would be good to explain once within the article's Comments the reason behind the movie title. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
I seen you have re-written the Izzy Stradlin article and just wanted to say, good work. Out of all the Guns N' Roses Appetite era members, his needed redone. I've went ahead and removed the Guns N' Roses albums from his discography though. With him being a solo artist, only his albums should be included with the rest on his discography page.
I've noticed your edits on discographys as well. While I created the Duff McKagan discography article (quite poorly I should mention), they should really be formated differently, such as Josh Homme discography. WP:DISCOGRAPHY and WP:DISCOGSTYLE have more info. Happy editing! HrZ (talk) 15:18, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Was about to change the Slash article per the discussion on the talk page. However, I first wanted to check that we are in agreement now. Also, the preview of the article with a drop-down box in a band members sub-section doesn't look right to me. Perhaps have the list as it is in a sub-section under solo career or just have the drop-down box in the solo career section itself. What do you think? HrZ (talk) 12:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I already had the same discussion with someone about losing Belgian nationality. Please see the relevant discussion on my talk page. Thank you. GoldRenet 21:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
(Content below copied from User talk:GoldRenet.)
Alright, going by Belgian nationality law#Loss of Belgian citizenship, I do believe it's very likely that this person no longer has the Belgian nationality. It says, "A person at least 18 years old who voluntarily obtained another nationality before 9 June 2007 automatically lost their Belgian nationality." and "A child under 18 will lose Belgian citizenship if a responsible parent loses Belgian citizenship." That means that if his parents acquired the Australian nationality after their move (which is more than likely since he himself has done so), then he automatically lost his Belgian nationality. So I really think his supposed Belgian nationality needs a source; the fact that he was born there is not sufficient proof. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey just to say that edit is an improvement. Did he really adopt Rose as a surname prior to forming Hollywood Rose? The sources I've read stated Bailey, but much like anything to do with him (or GNR) I can't be 100% sure. Thanks. HrZ (talk) 11:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

This is a note to let the main editors of Angelina Jolie know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 19, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 19, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Angelina Jolie (born 1975) is an American actress, film director, and screenwriter. She has received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (for her performance in the 1999 drama Girl, Interrupted), two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011. Jolie promotes humanitarian causes as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. She has often been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman. Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in Lookin' to Get Out (1982). Her first leading role in a major film was in the cyber-thriller Hackers (1995). She achieved wide fame after her portrayal of video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and received critical acclaim for her performances in the dramas A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008). She made her directorial debut with the wartime drama In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011). Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie now lives with actor Brad Pitt, in a relationship notable for fervent media attention. (Full article...)

Hello, thanks for your valuable contribution to wikipedia. I want to bring it to your notice that "The Tourist" was critically and financially more successful in international cinema though it couldn't perform well in the US territory. It has acclaimed serious appreciation from many famous personalities with a huge applaud for Angelina Jolie's performance. Hope it makes my point more valid regarding putting "The Tourist" in the lead of Angelina Jolie article. Thanks. Mr RD (talk) 17:45, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Heads up. We might have to deal with this type of mess in the near future at the Angelina Jolie article. If he (John) comes to that article pulling that absurdity, such as possibly following me there via this post, I will be reverting. He has essentially wrecked the Brad Pitt article, and it's disgusting that he has and may get away with it. I'm so tired of administrators thinking that they can do whatever they want around here. And his "Not on my watch" statement shows just how superior he thinks he is. I know that you edit other WP:BLP articles as well, so this is also a heads up with regard to those. Flyer22 (talk) 09:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
I noticed that you have been quite active in the past improving Slash (musician) so I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I was going to start working on it. I'd like to improve the quality until it could potentially become a featured article. I may switch the citation style for all the sources to the same system used for the Slash/Bozza book, since that's easier to work with and declutters the text when editing. It doesn't look like you're very active any more, but let me know if you'd like to collaborate, divide/conquer, etc. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 20:32, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I realized that you delete the Golden Raspberry Awards Nominations of Angelina Jolie. Why? I think it is an important award and it is a little bit unfair, when you can't see that nominations.

Hi!! I am sorry, I did not know that Ben Affleck had a relationship with Jennifer Lopez. :) ACase0000 (talk) 20:12, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
Similar to what we did with the information about Angelina Jolie's beauty/sex appeal, we can do better on relaying information about Pitt's physical attractiveness/sex appeal. If you decide to work on that, or already have decided to work on it, I will leave most of the content to you in that case since there are not as many aspects to touch on regarding Pitt's beauty/sex appeal as there are regarding Jolie's beauty/sex appeal. There are a lot aspects to touch on regarding Pitt's physical attractiveness/sex appeal, don't get me wrong, but the extent/impact is different when compared to Jolie's beauty/sex appeal (which is not surprising, given the emphasis that societies, in general, put on female beauty and female sexuality).

You've transformed an article that was pretty good (few flaws here and there, excessive detail on goals etc.) into one that I believe is featured article quality. Its now very enjoyable to read. You know your stuff. The depth and detail is very impressive...the reception section is now very informative especially in regard to how he is perceived in Argentina in contrast to Maradona. Once again excellent job.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 22:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
As the person who originally got Messi to GA then sort of left it to die so to speak, I just want to say thanks for your wonderful work. I hope and believe that it will become an FA at some point and that he will be on the main page. Keep up the great work. Spiderone 15:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello Sir,
Kindly take a look at the disruptive editing of the user "2001:620:d:4ad2::323" who is removing sourced material after a consensus has been reached. Also take a look at his user history on Wikipedia where I have found him removing sourced material at will for no apparent reason.
The "dispute" is ongoing on this Wikipedia page below:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Football_records_in_Spain&action=history
2 primary sources (1 from the RFEF even) have been included and they have been that for well over 1 year yet he suddenly decided on his own to remove the sourced material.
Here for instance he has removed correct sourced material for no apparent reason other than vandalism that I had to correct.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derbi_barcelon%C3%AD&action=history
Here is his user history.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2001:620:D:4AD2:0:0:0:323
He is most likely a Nepali sockpuppet moreover. It obvious that he is a very biased RM fan hellbent on disrupting factual data/information about FCB if it does not suit him.
He is accusing me of being "biased" while all I do is sticking to facts.
Earlier today an editor on the FC Barcelona page included the Copa Latina trophy while I removed it due to a consensus having been reached of not including that trophy on any club page of a club who previously won the Copa Latina. Yet that individual is accusing me of "bias" when there is none.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona
Where can I contact a moderator to discuss this issue?
Thanks in advance.

I have an issue regarding Messi's page. Someone removed the part where it says he is rated by many in the sport as the best ever. There have been numerous football figures who have stated he is the best ever, and someone, perhaps with bias, has removed this. I think it's because someone removed the "rated by some in the sport" line from Ronaldo's page. And, he isn't. The citations used for Ronaldo's one included Pele and Raul. The citation that included Pele didn't even mention Ronaldo as the greatest ever, instead he was referred to as the best player in the world, not the best ever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredgoos (talk • contribs)
Two edits by Tenebrae [1][2] and a change you made to corroborate those edits [3] are actually erroneous. I am not allowed to edit BLPs at present, and am choosing to consult with you rather than Tenebrae regarding these changes because he hasn't replied to the last 20 messages on his talk page (hence unreachable).
Per a Los Angeles Times article dated November 7, 1999: They were separated in 1997, and their amicable divorce was finalized this year. [4]
Articles published in The Cincinnati Enquirer [5] and The Town Talk [6] that April also refer to the divorce as established and in the past tense, not a pending filing.
While People magazine is considered a reliable source, it really is no better than any other source as far as reporting on events after the fact. In this instance, they were wrong and that's provable. People's passage that reported the February 1999 filing [7] states The couple married 22 months ago, which is self-contradictory since a July 1996 article from the same magazine mentioned the existing marriage [8]. (In case you don't follow my point, the difference between the two is almost three years, not 22 months.)
I could make the corrections myself, but it would probably result in a block. Iistal (talk) 10:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
A couple other things have come to my attention. Although we haven't reached a definite conclusion for the last discussion, I thought I'd get your input since you've been the easiest editor to communicate with. As you might know I can only edit non-BLP articles until 3 months from now, due to previous edit wars. There are important edits that need to be made regardless.
On Franco Nero's page, someone should add mention of this 1987 paternity suit [15] (very odd that a huge story like this isn't already included in his Wiki article). The talk page is inactive so writing about this there would be useless.
On another note, I did leave a message concerning needed changes on Demi Moore's talk page [16] but no one has responded yet. Iistal (talk) 08:29, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

What must everything be decided by a consensus on this darn Encyclopedia? It does not need to be discussed as his surname (which is blatantly Italian) is also a word (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/messi#Italian). It does not tarnish the identity of the article, so why does it need to be removed? You didn't even ask me if it was correct, you just removed it. Kő Cloch (talk)
