I have been in Wikipedia for more than four years, although I did not immediately create an account. I have also devoted a lot of time on reading the articles about Wikipedia policies. While my edit to the Introduction to general relativity certainly had issues and I should have thought more before making it, it is an extreme to be called vandalism. For that reason I demand an apology on your behalf. Nxavar (talk) 19:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
The interesting thing about this thread is that, although early on you admitted your actions were careless, you seem loathe to accept the events were entirely the results of your actions. If I spray paint a word on a wall, it's likely to be seen as vandalism, regardless of whether or not my intentions at the time were good.
While your intentions may have been to give a pronunciation, you did it in such a way that it looked like vandalism. Did you use the Wikipedia tools for including pronunciation descriptions? No. You protested that it was a Greek word but did you insert your text in Greek? No.
More to the point, did you stop to consider why, in an article titled "An Introduction to General Relativity" (and clearly labeled as a simple-to-understand synopsis), there should even be such a detailed description as this.
Step back, man--look at the forest!
Nevertheless, submit your edits to the guideline pages if you wish; that's your job as an editor. Please remember, however, that there are people that will take a dim view if you try to carry this discussion/argument/debate into that venue without good reason.
Nxavar, I really do hope you eventually learn how to avoid this sort of trouble in the future. A couple of suggestions, if I may: If spelling is not your strong suit, get a browser with a spellchecker (e.g. Firefox). Misspelled words can truly diminish the weight of your argument. When you're editing Talk pages, please indent your responses as I've done so above--it makes the conversation so much easier to follow.
BTW, good catch on the IPA/APA thing. At the time, I had been editing APA citations; I guess got 'em confused. Oh, well... UncleBubba (Talk) 21:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Don't you think that the titles of the Wikipedia articles should be case-insensitive, at least for the first letter of each word? For example Introduction to General Relativity should be automatically redirected to Introduction to general relativity. Is there a special place to request and/or discuss the addition of a new software feature? Nxavar (talk) 16:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Whilst you have of course acted entirely within the letter of policy, your recent fact tagging of Pedro Paulet looks more like a POV-pushing attempt to discredit the article and remove its content, rather than an attempt to make a better encyclopedia. I will of course welcome your anticipated research and editing of this article to improve it by adding the references you've just called for. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
I was making the point that a tube is the perfect analogy to describe the issues of a long fat pipe. The date of the RFC is irrelevant because it defines the standards being used today, and the principles still apply. See Bandwidth-delay_product BruceBarnett (talk) 13:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

You're right about general guidelines on talk pages. I'm a bit old school about this and prefer to get rid of obvious trolling as quickly as possible. We had an immense amount of that at the global warming talk page from December until a month or so ago and I have sometimes been rather aggressive in removing or archiving. As things are now much calmer I'll adjust my approach. Tasty monster (=TS ) 01:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 13:33, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey UncleBubba, me and you seem to be the two residents keeping the article 'The Day The Music Died' in good shape. Seeing that you're better at this kind of thing than I am, will you please look at the edits that some unknown user made on the article, and bring it back to Wikipedia standards. Cause the way it reads now, its clearly messed up. Dickclarkfan1 (talk) 03:00, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Bubbba, the sentence in the lead is correct to say "by far". It is sourced. See Numerous deaths have occurred after chiropractic manipulations. The risks of this treatment by far outweigh its benefit. QuackGuru (talk) 15:55, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Wikilinking the word neck does not add much to the sentence and is a bit of a distraction IMO. Earlier in the lead there is a link to spinal manipulation. QuackGuru (talk) 16:24, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Excuse me UncleBubba, what's with the false accusations of vandalism? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Mmeijeri#September_2010 I reverted an unmotivated change by an anonymous user and said so in the bleeping commit message. If you had taken one look at the commit message or my contributions you would have known the accusation of vandalism is ludicrous. Martijn Meijering (talk) 18:14, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
Understood, but I only made two reversions, and the issue was resolved on the talk page. Serendipodous 19:45, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi UncleBubba,
Thanks for your note. My bad for marking it minor; I thought minor is for when no text is changed. Re:
> In addition to not being a MINOR edit, I'm questioning the wisdom of changing formats from JPG to SVG, considering compatibility
I found the labels in the original JPEG too small to view in thumbnail mode though there is plenty of space available.
I've ensured that it renders well on the MediaWiki renderer and several modern browsers. Regardless, most Wikipedia readers will see the automatically rendered JPEG instead of the original unless they choose to view it.
Moreover, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Planets2008.jpg shows that it has been translated to several languages. My initiative lets editors easily translate it into their language without needing to fix the background.

I am interested to know if you have a different version to Yoko Tsuno number 12. In the English version, the story takes place in Scotland and Yoko faints after her tea is drugged by a sinister doctor. The doctor also sedates Yoko later in the story leaving her bound and gagged and forces her to watch Cecelia fall. After this he applies enough chloroform to her to cause Yoko to faint again and throws her into the cravasse, where she is saved as she falls into a net. I am a great fan of Yoko Tsuno, she is always being knocked unconscious, usually by other girls who seem to make Yoko faint with endless neck chops! However, she always recovers to win through. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yokofaints (talk • contribs) 15:01, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

I was being sarcastic
By "my way" I was referring just to what I wrote yesterday: that if everyone agreed to BCE/CE thee would be no conflict because everyone would have agreed to make me happy. The point is, every year or two someone comes to this article and demands that the date nomenclature be changed, and the implication is always that the result would be more stable. The problem is a refusal to compromise. The real point of my message was my aillingness to meet half-way as a compromise (half-way meaning in between the two extreems meaning what we have now, i.e. both of the nomenclatures, the nomenclature one side wants AND the nomenclature the other side wants). In practice, this compromise has been exceptionally stable.
Many people recularly contribute to the article and have worked this compromise out over the years and it works. No one thinks both nomenclatures is especially graceful, but it does signal that Jesu's life is in fact often narated using one of two different nomenclatures. More important, we (who regularly edit the page) agree that using both is better, far beter than an edit war.
In our experience, those people (who have never stuck around to do research and add content - I am not trying to criticize you personally, please do not take this that way, it is just an observation about priorities) who come and say that policy or aesthetics dictate that we use only one nomenclature in our interpretation really care less about the abstract principle of one nomenclature, as they do about their own prefernce for a specific nomenclature.
And that is the point of my sarcasem. I could have put it another way: to anyone who demands that we use only one nomenclature, if this is what is most important to you, would you be satisfied using the nomenclature you do not like. In other words, if we were to compromise with you by agreeing to use one nomenclature, will you compromise with us by making that one BCE/CE? (Or, if someone came arguing that MOS says one nomenclature and it should be BCE/CE ... "if we were to compromise with you by agreeing to use one nomenclature, will you compromise with us by making that one BC/AD." In seven years no one has been willing to accept either of these compromises. That is why the stable compromize has been to meet half-way, and use both.
This is what I meant and I think all the editors who regularly watch the page will have understood my point.
I infer that you are not a regular watcher. If I am wrong, my apologies. If I am right, welcome to the article! I hope that your interest extends beyond style and you are willing to stick around and help with content. The Jesus article is long but over the years many parts of it have spun off into satellite articles and frankly, this was not done systematically or rationally and it would be great to have a discussion about what belongs in the article and how it should be organized, and then how the linked articles could be improved so that our coverage of Jesis is truly encyclopedic. For example, not everyone agrees that Jesus was the Christ. That he was a christ is one POV, but even among people who have believed he was Christ, there are many different views as to what this means and we have a linkd article Christology. This article sure could be improved. Other editors are less interested in Christian theology and more interested in critical historical scholarship. We have some good articles on the historical context of the NT; on the history of the NT 9source criticism) and on the historical Jesus but these articles can always be improved. If you have access to the Anchor Bible, its volumes on the NT contain very highly respected introductions that cover the leading scholarly views (whenever that volume was written) and also comments on specific passages discuss the likelihood of their being based on the doings of a historical Jesus, their being borrowings from contemporary literature interpollated into the text for theological reasons, or their having been added at a later date for theological reasons. I do not have access to this well-regarded source and so far no one who edits the article has access and it would be great if someone could mine this source for what could imrpove the article. These are just some suggestions. I do hope you will consider taking the time to research areas not currently covered with an eye towards adding content. (It is certainly possible that you already added much to the article, but before I came along, in which case I apologize for sounding so presumptuous).
I am genuinely sorry that you soent all that time going through the archives. Insane (the other editor) thought I was referring to something that in my mind is a closed book and was closed many, many years ago. Quite some time ago - I do not remember but more than five years ago - I proposed a new policy that Wikipedia always use BCE/CE. This proposal was debated extensively; the final vote was something like 60%/40% or 65%/35% against. It is all archived somewhere. The point is, once some admin decided that the proposal would never achieve consensus, it was closed down and I have never mentioned it since (until now). I do not know why Insane brought it up. I began my edit yesterday proposing that we change all the dates in this one article to BCE/CE and this is the only proposal that I made and refered to yesterday.

I'm not sure this will get through to him, but at least you're trying. I think that he's been editing for just a few weeks, and he's already pissed off a lot of experience editors and admins. Not that that is prima facie evidence of anything, but still. OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 01:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
I recently rejected a pending change on the page Waterloo Road (tv series); however, I found out you had accepted the revision before I could reject it. Shouldn't it be rejected as an unexplained deletion of material. In addition, the source used for series seven came from twitter, so it was fairly unreliable. Ryan Vesey (talk) 03:27, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Don't try to revert my edits. I understand that most are marked as minor which is a mistake and I do admit it. But you are unnecessarily reverting edits which is utterly frustrating, even which are properly sourced. I acknowledge my mistake but rv my edits is not good.--Kkm010 | Talk with me 06:55, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Bubba, You are of course correct to revert my Goddard edits, and your actions are proper. I know how Wiki works and "reliable sources" are required, but it is just that it pains me to read tripe in Wiki. The idea that Goddard "tested Newton's law" is preposterous and an insult to the Goddard. School children may test Newton's Laws, and a reasonably intelligent student in high school understands why rocket propulsion can work in a vacuum (though indeed New York Times editorial page didn't). Goddard's ambitions and achievements went far beyond these basic ideas. While your edit in removing my additions is correct, it would be nice if some of the exiting tripe was deleted. Have a good day. JS (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

With resepect, you should be more careful about reverting other users' edits. I am neither a new user nor a vandal, so the "test" template you used on my talk page is inappropriate. In addition, justification for removal of the reference is weak at best, since even though the article is about the current crisis, it still supports the statement that TMI was a 5 on the International Nuclear Event Scale.

Hi - Saw the changes you made to my additions on MRSA. Just wanted to clarify that I was not writing an 'ad' for hydrogen peroxide. I'm a doctor, and have recently been working with a patient with an ongoing MRSA infection that wasn't responding to antibiotic treatment - the additions I made were based on research I had done to help treat this patient. These were written in good faith in an effort to improve the content of wikipedia. I'm ok with the changes you made, but would like to provide more detail - I'd like to include the substances mentioned in citation 72, as well as the active compounds mentioned in citation 74. Is that OK with you? Kpaddock (talk) 19:46, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey, Doc! Looks good! Going back through my notes here, it occurred to me that I should have started this conversation on the article's Talk page, not my personal one. That was my mistake (and has nothing to do with you) but I would like to move this text to the article Talk page so other editors can see and comment or whatever. I'll do so unless you have an objection. Lemme know, please; thanks! — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 19:39, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Invitation from the Guild of Copy Editors
The Guild of Copy Editors invites you to participate in their November 2011 Backlog elimination drive, a month-long effort to reduce the size of the copy edit backlog. The drive begins on November 1 at 00:00 (UTC) and ends on November 30 at 23:59 (UTC). We will be tracking the number of 2010 articles (and specifically will be targeting the oldest three months), as we want to copy edit as many of these as possible. Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits more than 4,000 words, and special awards will be given to the top 5 in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", and "Number of articles of over 5,000 words". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Diannaa, Chaosdruid, The Utahraptor, Slon02, and SMasters. |

Hey--I reverted your changes to the Leet article because the info you added--while possibly reasonable--really looks like original research, which is not allowed. Also, article material should not sound like a debate. If you can cite a reliable source for your information, it would help its chances of being accepted. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 04:27, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the message on my talk page about the article on Complete Blood Count, or as we tend to call it here in the United Kingdom, the "Full Blood Count" - and thank you too for clearing up the article! I had not noticed the first time I made the edit that the term "Full Blood Count" was already in the paragraph, so you did the right thing tidying it up. I am not a medical doctor (my title of "Dr" comes from a Ph.D. in Psychology) so I do not like to make too many changes to medical articles!

You deleted a modification I made on the toyota prius page about smog. Your comment was that cars don't produce smog. Technically, they do produce smog forming particals that are activated by sunlight and transformed into smog. For all practical purposes, the produce smog. Would you prefer the wording 'smog forming particals?' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.178.2.64 (talk) 10:29, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you. I don't believe I stated anything beyond the sited text. If you click on the link it will take you right to the EPA's green vehicle guide and on that page is my reference to the mention the EPA rating the 2003 model with a 3 out of ten air pollution score. This will be 'improving the encyclopedia.' If someone wants to buy a prius so be green they may want to know the 2003 model is not the year to go with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.178.2.64 (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

My point is that by introducing "China" in the first sentence without any context, the intro is actually perpetuating the antipodean misconception to people who are aware of it. Whereas to people who aren't aware of it (i.e. non-Americans), the mention of China is completely bizarre, and likely to lead the reader to ask "What's so special about China that it attracts nuclear reactors?" – Smyth\talk 11:29, 2 December 2011 (UTC) |

Re: this edit: IRC-Galleria is a valid "see also" link. Please do your research before making such edits in the future. Mythpage88 (talk) 09:34, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
I did look at your history (all three months of it); I still don't see the justification for this link. What I have seen is you using various Wikipedia "magic buzzwords" to attack me: "Oh dear, he reverted my edit. I'll accuse him of not assuming good faith. That'll fix him." Followed by, "Oh, dear, that didn't work, so I'll try a 'biting' accusation, and I'll make it 'blatant', for good measure."
I didn't see you arguing in favor of your link other than saying "it's valid". And discussion is what it's all about here. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 05:04, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
There is no "burden of proof", as I did not call what you did "vandalism". I called it "apparently promotion", which it is.
But you're still avoiding the argument you apparently feel you cannot win: How do you justify including the social-networking site in the IRC article? — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 06:54, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

In case you can do me a favor could you please tell me why DataCore Software page with TWO links and written entirely by their staff is NOT SPAM and what we currently have (please take a look @ our page as I've added TONS of external links) IS? I appreciate your feedback in any case. Staff had did a lot of mistakes in the past but they had be punished for doing this (content was removed). Do you think you can judge for past all the time?

I am hardly trying to promote Moody's book. As a start, the reference to it has been there for a very long time. Its importance to the topic is that it marks the time(1975) at which the public in general became aware of Near-Death Experiences. The point of the paragraph concerned is to show that Christian Scientists have been aware of them for much, much longer: a fact of encyclopedic interest. You suggest, incorrectly, that the other reference does not support this. The only purpose the other reference has, is to confirm that the publication of Moody's book was indeed the stage at which public interest in NDEs began: a widely accepted fact. I can certainly find any number more references to support that, if you like. It is highly likely that users who look up Christian Science have heard more about near-death experiences than they have about Christian Science. The sole aim of the entry is to establish the nexus between the two, and so to open up the topic more effectively to the enquirer. I believe that my response to you is both courteous and correct. I therefore have respectfully yet again reversed your edit. Michael J. Mullany (talk) 07:29, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Okay, so in Wiki's own article on NDEs where it states: "Popular interest in near-death experiences was initially sparked by Raymond Moody's 1975 book Life After Life[8] and the founding of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) in 1981.[9]". Do we say that the NDE article also committs the same fault, or are we satisfied that there the editors got it right? If so, then the same references would indicate the reinstatement of the assertion in question.Michael J. Mullany (talk) 08:57, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
I do not agree that the main stream of western religions other than CS did acknowledge NDEs prior to 1975. MB Eddy's reference to them was written the best part of a century earlier. I would have thought that the sentence under dispute relates the CS view to something that many readers will have heard of: NDEs, and so places the CS view in world context.Michael J.

Dear UncleBubba, I want to bring to your attention your (merited, but not entirely) deletion of work by my Wikipedia student, Thegannon. One focus of our class is trying to augment female and ethnic diversity among contributors in Wikipedia. Some new contributors are easily discouraged, particularly if they have not grown up in circumstances that support a sense of entitlement and expertise. I'm going to encourage Thegannon to re-word work on women in wrestling and make it workable and useful for Wikipedia. Thank you kindly, and in advance for your patience with newcomers to the process, and any supportive effort you may be willing to lend to a beginner. KSRolph (talk) 19:39, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
Dear Bubba, Thank you for your detailed response. I do, of course, all I can to help eighteen to 22 year-old students understand what we want, what we refer to, how multivariate Wikipedia culture is to be appreciated and navigated, and so forth. On the other hand, there are more than twenty people's work to monitor, and a couple of my students have suffered from the experience of less than perfect text, followed by deletions. For newcomers, a couple of these, and students can become discouraged. While I understand you are not trying to teach this course, it might be that a few encouraging words to Thegannon could go a long way. One wishes to see all newcomers succeed and move to the next level, independent works and edits. I must also concern myself with less assertive students, those who have not had initial success with their edits. I appreciate your thoughtful response, and please do tolerate our works. I can imagine your tasks to be difficult, and I too, would be/am on a short fuse with some of the contributions (and deletions) I encounter. In fact, in class, we wonder aloud at the admins in Wikipedia who oversee and modify hundreds of items per day. There is a place for women in wrestling in this page, especially with events being televised nationally and international events held. My view is Thegannon needs to include citations, and perhaps augment statements. I hope you'll agree. KSRolph (talk) 04:09, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I've noted your comments on the Starwind Software AfD page and as you seem to have an aversion to people exploiting Wikipedia for promotion and advertising I was wondering if you could take a look at Microsoft SQL Server Compare Tools. This article is nothing but a list of external links for people trying to promote their products. If these links were put on most articles they would be immediately reverted as spam. I have suggested changing the links to references and removing anything with no reference at all. I've put in a request for comment but the only response I've had is from an IP user who has a link for his product on it. There are a lot of these articles, I've started cleaning up Comparison of database tools which I think looks better. I would really appreciate any comments you may have on this - I'm so tempted to AfD it.Vrenator talk 11:02, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the external link section in the Brahma Kumaris article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma_Kumaris_World_Spiritual_University#External_links The contribution I made was reverted back. "The Brahma Kumaris Info" site has an "ad" right beside it: "An independent resource accurately documenting the beliefs and lifestyle of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, including many of its channeled messages." Is that ok to place such things after a link? Thanks Riveros11 (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt reply. Well, I just want to play by the rules. It appears interesting to me that a link in the "external links" part of the article has an opinion such as to consider that link " accurately documenting the beliefs and life style of the BKs." Encyclopedias usually will add something like " According to that site..." to avoid bias. In that light, It appears to me that I could add the following link: http://brahmakumarisforum.net and also will add a little text right beside it and some text to the other links as well, if there are no objections. Riveros11 (talk) 15:04, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Please check out: http://www.brahmakumaris.info/forum/index.php If in fact, this is an encyclopedia, then the brahmakumaris.info link should go away for it is a forum. The participants are not bona fide researchers, but ex-members of the BK movement. Please re-consider your thought. Yes, I am a member of the BK movement. I don't see why I cannot contribute as much as an Ex-Brahma Kumaris member can. But I will be happy to go by the rules as long as it works both ways. Have you checked on "January 18" user? His history talks lots about him. Riveros11 (talk) 15:40, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
FYI. I have been in this article from the very beginning.I have not been banned even once. On the other hand, the main contributor of the Ex-BK side has been. He has been "blocked permanently" (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:195.82.106.244) but he has continued editing under different IDs, now one of them is "january 18." That user is the owner of the brahmakumaris.info site. I think I am being reasonable in asking why his website link is mentioned in the BK wiki article? That individual is not a researcher, neither the group in that website. So, when I see a link which is a forum (by dictionary definition) with articles containing "original research" without an article signed by a "bona fide" researcher but just biased opinions and the "ad" which mentions that they "accurately document" the BK beliefs and life style...then, you wonder, what gives them that authority? According to wiki policies the brahmakumaris.info link violates the "No original research" policy in wikipedia. If you look at the "Scientology" site, under external links, they have an "official site" heading with a "scholarly web pages on Scientology" sub-heading. The brahmakumaris.info link do not qualify as a scholarly site as you know. Please give me a good reason. Ps: A "bona fide researcher" for an encyclopedia; is someone with a terminal degree in that subject. Riveros11 (talk) 17:11, 15 December 2011 (UTC) |

I have nothing against ISO dates, but they only apply to gregorian dates. Also, I am sure you have noticed that the absence of spelt-out month names often give gives rise to ambiguities – common "alternatives" seem to be "01-23-2008" or "23-01-2008". But the real crux is that there was a mixture of different formats in that article that I want to harmonise. I don't know where to take it from here; I won't be reverting you. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 13:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC) |

Amelia Earhart from the FBI FOIF(freedom of imformation files) FBI FOIA FILES The files at the link below clearly show and state that many radio operators intercepted Earhart's radio transmissions. These files on pages 49 thru to 54 establish that Earhart landed in the Marshall Islands and was taken prisoner by the Japanese. After reading the files it is obvious that Earhart and Noonan were both alive and had landed safely, however into or near a secret Japanese base. Due to the planes altitude the radio transmissions misled those waiting to intercept Earhart as planned. Off course far north of Howland Island, Earhart is said to have actually landed on Knox Island nearer to the Marshall Islands. This is outlined by the FBI files. The files document often repeated and frantic requests by radio operators to get FBI assistance in finding Earhart, even many years after her disappearance.

I don't know why you bothered posting your "rebuke". I am not a boy scout collecting badges and I don't count edits or display the count or collect awards, I just edit articles often in passing whilst I go on my merry way in what is a busy life. If I overlook checking the "minor edit" who gives a toss? Would you prefer that I didn't bother making the correction? Your pedantic ignorant attitude is what has driven away many editors who think they "own" articles or are the final arbiters of what is right or wrong.. my understanding is that the powers that be are very worried about this wastage of editors The problem is exemplified by your reversion of my edit to the HG Wells article. It came about because one of my kids was reading the article (after the death of Ray Bradbury) and asked me what "sums" meant. It is is not a term used widely outside the UK and Ireland and it is probably uncommon there in this century. I thought that it was worth explicating the term. In any event it wasn't silly, or a "joke" the edit made the point Wells was making clear and it wasn't exactly cluttering up the place. Please do not bother posting a response on my talk page. I will delete it and not read it. As George W Bush allegedly said one time, "Who cares what you think?" Silent Billy (talk) 12:24, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

I recently was sent a message by you regarding my correction to Star Trek: The Next Generation, changing the episode listing from 176 to 178 episodes. In fact this is my second time doing so, and the previous time I did cite my source. I will cite it again here for you: http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation As this webpage--and many others who document the episodes of this show--will attest, TNG consisted of 176 episodes in its 7-year run. Two of the episodes were feature-length and in reruns have sometimes been split into separate episodes but that does not change the episode total. I hope this clears up any confusion that may have been caused. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions or comments for me.

(Heading added during Talk page cleanup because the original author didn't do so, which makes their comments much harder to notice.) Hello The amendment I made was to simply correct an error i.e. The Conquest of Lombardy (the current sub-heading) is not/was not the same as the Conquest of the Lombard kingdom. The Lombard kingdom in 774 extended to a number of other regions (Tusica, Piemonte etc etc.) Sources are not necessary simply because this is evident from any casual glance at a map! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.83.84 (talk) 19:37, 27 March 2013 (UTC) |

Hi --- I noticed that you removed the link to CheckTLS. I'd like a chance to convince you it should stay. The site does tens of thousands of free tests a month. There is no limit to how many free tests one person can do. We receive a lot of positive feedback, and we've never received a negative feedback. Our privacy policy is very strict and very good. Yes, the site has advertising -- it's unobtrusive. Yes, the site promotes fee services. We both know there is no such thing as a free lunch -- we pay hosting fees for the two sites that host CheckTLS and make the free tests available. I proposed the addition of the site three years ago for discussion. At that time I received a little feedback that it was OK; I guess most people who watched the page didn't care one way or another. I received no negative feedback there either. CheckTLS has been on the SMTP page for three years without a complaint. Bottom line, the site is free, many people find it very useful, and no one has ever complained about anything about the site. I can't see how there is a better site the SMTP page could point to to help people test and understand the protocol. --- Steve (sshoe at checktls.com) Sshoe (talk) 13:22, 17 April 2013 (UTC) ps: I hope I can figure out how to see your answer.

I just took the issue to the talk page, I apologize for the whole editing back and fourth issue I've been doing to it. I wasn't trying to cause harm, I was only trying to fix it back to normal. Because I'm the one that originally added in 1975 by mistake in the past edits. 2600:1000:B039:E407:D14A:4E62:E42D:9EB9 (talk) 20:27, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Hey Bubba, I owe you an apology. I'm really sorry about my edits in the Ronald McDonald article, I know it's against the Wiki policey to edit war against users and I know I shouldn't have done that in the first place. I'm just letting you know I'm sorry and I will not do it again. I really hope you forgive me. 2600:1000:B07C:3A4F:E564:7D48:54B:FD08 (talk) 15:42, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
I have raised a dispute on the talk page as you suggested. I also asked the last person who added the disputed link to comment. 73.71.251.64 (talk) 17:36, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi. You mentioned not changing an article unless discussing it. Last I checked, anyone can edit a wiki page. And yes, it does matter. No one can actually prove she died on July 8th. Anything before her body was found is merely presumed. Even the coroners are speculating that she died within minutes. Her death certificate lists the date of death as July 13th.
@UncleBubba: chill. I sent this before I saw yours. I thought I deleted it. You win, though. I refuse to be belittled by someone who’s hobby is “patrolling recent changes to high-volume Wikipedia pages.” I have a life. Have me banned if you want, I don’t care.
I have a question about your comment regarding an edit in Dallas McKennon. You wrote, "As marriage ended by death of McKennon, not by death of his spouse, the year 2009 is omitted here. See instructions on Template:Marriage for more info." I am missing something as I read the documentation for that template. Under "Description" for "<end date>", I see "Year or full date when the marriage ended..." with no mention of an exception for the death of the article's subject.
Where is the statement about omitting the end year? Eddie Blick (talk) 00:45, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

I think you may have misread the section you removed here. It did not say that Watterson "portrayed himself", as you state in your edit summary, but that "Watterson himself portrayed a grown-up Calvin...", which in this context (i.e. the adult Calvin) means that Watterson drew ("portrayed") Calvin as an adult during a few strips. This is true, although I agree that it is poorly written and needs a source (at the least the strip dates). Vyselink (talk) 21:17, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
"Assertion, in a BLP page, of type of law degree unsupported by the cited ref. (Was it really a J.D., or did he earn an LL.D., a D.L., or an S.J.D.?)"
No United States university, college, or law school awards the LL.D. or D.L. as an earned degree.
As the Wikipedia Juris Doctor article states, beginning with 1971, every United States law school has awarded the Juris Doctor (J.D.) as the first degree in law. As the article also states, the University of Chicago Law School is an exception: It has always awarded the Juris Doctor (J.D.) as its first degree in law.
And so, anyone whose first earned degree from a United States law school was awarded in 1971 or later (or from the University of Chicago Law School) has earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.)2601:205:3:DEE2:F4CF:6882:4884:29B2 (talk) 22:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
The cited ref isn't retrievable, but the text was pretty specific, so we need to assume it was quoted accurately ("LI.B./J.D." and "LI.M."). If you want to make this change, you need to cite a reliable source and explain it.
There are no such degrees as the LI.B. or LI.M. They do not exist. They cannot be found anywere else on Wikipedia. Because the J.D. replaced the LL.B., "we need to assume" that LI.B. reprsents confusion between a capital i (I) and a small l, and a capital l (l). Similar logic applies to the LL.M., which is the degree that follows the LL.B./J.D.2601:205:3:DEE2:BC1C:15F:C86B:19A8 (talk) 02:03, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, you're probably right. In my mind I wasn't being uncivil when I challenged people on their arguments, and I don't think I've used uncivil language. However, an RfC is probably not the place for the actual debate, and my responses are probably disruptive and clutter up the chat. Based on that, I'd outright remove my response to Wwwhatsup, but things would look even weirder with your response to my response still hanging there. I'll keep quiet in the RfC from now on.
Regarding my suggestion for you read the guidelines again - forgive me, but I feel the need to just clarify this point, as you seem to have been a bit put out by it. I didn't mean it like "you need to get your head checked out, you're talking nuts", if that's how it came across. I meant it literally, in that your statement suggested you'd maybe misread the guideline. Specifically, there is no requirement for "a majority" of reliable sources in the guideline, and no one has suggested that. That's what I was trying to straighten out. But perhaps I've misunderstood something myself. Popcornfud (talk) 23:31, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2020 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2020. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Election reminder: our end-of-year Election of Coordinators opens for nominations on 1 December. Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: An uncorrected typo (even copy editors make copy editing mistakes!) led to an eight-day "leap blitz" from 14 to 21 June, focusing on requests and articles tagged in May. 19 participating editors claimed 54 copy edits. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Over 750,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event, keeping pace with the previous three self-isolated drives. Of the 38 people who signed up, 30 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 16 to 22 August, we copy edited articles tagged in June and July 2020 and requests. 12 participating editors completed 37 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Baffle gab1978, Tdslk, Twofingered Typist, and first-time coordinator Puddleglum2.0. Reidgreg took a break after serving for a couple years. Thanks to everyone who participated! Progress report: As of 01:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors had processed 532 requests since 1 January and there were 38 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hello, This is WilliamJYeager. Sorry I didn't understand exactly how to add a little more reality to my changes. Since this happened 35 or so years ago, there are not too many sources. But, RFC1064 for IMAP2 validates part of what I wrote. Strangely, it leaves out the developers. It also does not note that IMAP was supported by an NIH grant as part of the Stanford Knowledge System Labs SUMEX-AIM portion. This portion was for my proposal to develop what became IMAP. Mark was not the unique inventor by a long shot. I don't see where it is documented that he was. He did write the IMAP2 RFC which I edited. The director of SUMEX-AIM at this time was Thomas Rindfleish. Happy, he's still alive an well. Will an email message from him verifying those claims I made be a sufficient addition. If not, I can most likely can create a webpage on the Knowledge Systems Lab website. It will be validated by Tom. It's really sad that such an inaccurate representation of the true history of IMAP is on wikipedia. Oh, I can hopefully find the Stanford Computer Science documentation for V/VGTS. Prof. David Cheriton is still there, and is a close friend. V's quite old and what I seek may be archived. No matter. I'll give it a shot. Thanks so much for cluing me in on how to properly substantiate what I write on a wikipedia webpage.

While I left what I thought was an adequate and easily verifiable summary:
"Removed factually incorrect statement that read as if OSE was released in 2009"
Maybe it was not enough for people not acquainted with the product or company.
The restored statement makes it appear that the OSE realtime operating system was released initially in 2009, this is patently false as I have first hand knowledge of its existence since the '90s.
Hence my decision to move reference [3] to its right place, as it only announces the release of OSE for multicore systems and to remove the misleading statement.
Unfortunately, I'm no longer in contact with Bengt Eliasson (I had the honour of sitting beside him at work for some time) so I cannot provide a firm date for the relase of OSE.
I have second-hand knowledge that OSE for 68k systems was already released in 1992, but no linkable source; as evidence that 2009 is far off from the birth of OSE, this comparison between OSE and RUFUS (please go to page 8 for English abstract) dates to 2000.
BTW: The instructions you left in the message (answer in your talk page) contradict the banner (answer on my talk page). I hope I'm not being rude, just following one of the alternatives.

I was the anonymous user who edited the page; what was wrong with them? DrakeyC (talk) 22:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
"At their home the two return but find they have no recollection of what happened after the crash or how they got back home ...", which I noticed because the word "home" appears twice in it. More important, though, the phrase "at their home the two return but find" just doesn't make a lot of sense; the original (
"When the two return home they find") was much better.

Guild of Copy Editors September 2021 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since June 2021. Current and upcoming events
September Drive: Our current backlog-elimination drive is open until 23:59 on 30 September (UTC) and is open to all copy editors. Sign up today! Drive and Blitz reports
June Blitz: From 20 to 26 June, 6 participating editors claimed 16 copy edits, focusing on requests and articles tagged in March and April. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. July Drive: Almost 575,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 24 people who signed up, 18 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. August Blitz: From 15 to 21 August, we copy edited articles tagged in April and May 2021 and requests. 9 participating editors completed 17 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Other news
June election: Jonesey95 was chosen to continue as lead coordinator, assisted by Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. New maintenance template added to our project scope: After a short discussion in June, we added ((cleanup tense)) to the list of maintenance templates that adds articles to the Guild's copy editing backlog categories. This change added 198 articles, spread over 97 months of backlog, to our queue. We processed all of those articles except for those from the three or four most recent months during the July backlog elimination drive (Here's a link to a "tense" discussion during the drive). Progress report: As of 18:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 468 requests since 1 January and there were 60 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog of articles tagged for copy-editing stood at 433 (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2021 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the December GOCE newsletter, a brief update of Guild activities since September 2021. Current and upcoming events
Election time: Our end-of-year election of coordinators opened for nominations on 1 December and will close on 15 December at 23:59 (UTC). Voting opens at 00:01 the following day and will continue until 31 December at 23:59, just before "Auld Lang Syne". Coordinators normally serve a six-month term and are elected on an approval basis. Self-nominations are welcome. If you've thought of helping out at the Guild, or know of another editor who would make a good coordinator, please consider standing for election or nominating them here. December Blitz: We have scheduled a week-long copy-editing blitz for 12 to 18 December. Sign up now! Drive and Blitz reports
September Drive: Almost 400,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 27 people who signed up, 21 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. October Blitz: From 17 to 23 October, we copy edited articles tagged in May and June 2021 and requests. 8 participating editors completed 26 copy edits on the blitz. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. November Drive: Over 350,000 words of articles were copy edited for this event. Of the 21 people who signed up, 14 copyedited at least one article. Final results and awards are listed here. Other news
It is with great sadness that we report the death on 19 November of Twofingered Typist, who was active with the Guild almost daily for the past several years. His contributions long exceeded the thresholds for the Guild's highest awards, and he had a hand in innumerable good and featured article promotions as a willing collaborator. Twofingered Typist also served as a Guild coordinator from July 2019 to June 2021. He is sorely missed by the Wikipedia community. Progress report: As of 30 November, GOCE copyeditors have completed 619 requests in 2021 and there were 51 requests awaiting completion on the Requests page. The backlog stood at 946 articles tagged for copy-editing (see monthly progress graph above). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Dhtwiki, Tenryuu, and Miniapolis. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Guild of Copy Editors October 2022 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Drive: Of the 22 editors who signed up for our July Backlog Elimination Drive, 18 copy-edited, between them, 116 articles. Barnstars awarded are noted here. Blitz: Participants in our August Copy Editing Blitz copy-edited 51,074 words in 17 articles. Of the 15 editors who signed up, 11 claimed at least one copy-edit. Barnstars awarded are noted here. Drive: Forty-one editors took part in our September Backlog Elimination Drive; between them they copy-edited 199 articles. Barnstars awards are noted here. Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz begins on 16 October at 00:01 (UTC) and will end on 22 October at 23:59 (UTC). Barnstars awarded will be posted here. Progress report: As of 19:57, 12 October 2022 (UTC), GOCE copyeditors have processed 303 requests for copy edit – including withdrawn and declined ones – since 1 January. At the time of writing, there are 77 requests awaiting attention and the backlog of tagged articles stands at 1,759. We always need more active, skilled copyeditors – particularly for requests – so please get involved if you can. Election news: In our mid-year election, serving coordinators Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Reidgreg and Tenryuu were returned for another term, and were joined by new coordinator Zippybonzo. No lead coordinator was elected for this half-year. Jonesey95, a long-serving coordinator and lead, was elected as coordinator emeritus; we thank them for their service. Thank you to everyone who took part. Our next election of coordinators takes place throughout December. If you'd like to help out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself or other suitable editors (with their permission, of course!). It's your Guild, after all! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Baffle gab1978, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Reidgreg, Tenryuu and Zippybonzo. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Guild of Copy Editors December 2022 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since October. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. Blitz: Our October Copy Editing Blitz focused on July and August 2022 request months; and articles tagged for c/e in December 2021 and January 2022. Seventeen of those who signed up claimed at least one copy-edit, and between them copy-edited forty-six articles. Barnstars awarded are here. Drive: In the November Backlog Elimination Drive, thirty editors signed up, twenty-two of whom claimed at least one copy-edit. Both target months—December 2021 and January 2022—were cleared, and February was added to the target months. Sixteen requests were copy-edited and 239 articles were removed from the backlog. Barnstars awarded are here. Blitz: Our seven-day-long December 2022 Copy Editing Blitz begins on 17 December at 00:01 (UTC)*. It will focus on articles tagged for copy-edit in February 2022, and pending requests from September and October. Barnstars awarded will be available here. Progress report: As of 22:40, 8 December 2022, GOCE copyeditors have processed 357 requests since 1 January, there were seventy-four requests outstanding and the backlog stands at 1,791 articles. We always need skilled copy-editors; please help out if you can. Election news: Nomination of candidates for the GOCE's Election of Coordinators for the first half of 2023 is open and continues until 23:59 on 15 December.

If you've thought about helping out at the Guild, please nominate yourself or any editor you consider suitable—with their permission, of course!. It's your Guild and it doesn't coordinate itself. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you!

Hi UncleBubba! You're receiving this notification because you were previously subscribed to the Feedback Request Service, but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over six months.
In order to declutter the Feedback Request Service list, and to produce a greater chance of active users being randomly selected to receive invitations to contribute, you've been unsubscribed, along with all other users who have made no edits in six months.
You do not need to do anything about this - if you are happy to not receive Feedback Request Service messages, thank you very much for your contributions in the past, and this will be the last you hear from the service. If, however, you would like to resubscribe yourself, you can follow the below instructions to do so:

Guild of Copy Editors September 2023 Newsletter
![]() Hello and welcome to the September 2023 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since June. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. David Thomsen: Prolific Wikipedian and Guild member David Thomsen (Dthomsen8) died in November 2022. He was a regular copy editor who took part in many of our Drives and Blitzes. An obituary was published in the mid-July issue of The Signpost. Tributes can be left on David's talk page. Election news: In our mid-year Election of Coordinators, Dhtwiki was chosen as lead coordinator, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo continue as assistant coordinators, and Baffle gab1978 stepped down from the role. If you're interested in helping out at the GOCE, please consider nominating yourself for our next election in December; it's your WikiProject and it doesn't organize itself! June Blitz: Of the 17 editors who signed up for our June Copy Editing Blitz, 12 copy-edited at least one article. 70,035 words comprising 26 articles were copy-edited. Barnstars awarded are here. July Drive: 34 of the 51 editors who took part in our July Backlog Elimination Drive copy-edited at least one article. They edited 276 articles and 683,633 words between them. Barnstars awarded are here. August Blitz: In our August Copy Editing Blitz, 13 of the 16 editors who signed up worked on at least one article. Between them, they copy-edited 79,608 words comprising 57 articles. Barnstars awarded are available here. September Drive: Sign up here for our month-long September Backlog Elimination Drive, which is now underway. Barnstars awarded will be posted here. Progress report: As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066. Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis and Zippybonzo. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
