(nixon voice) I am not a vandal

I was adding a link to a related page, and due to a punctuation error on my part, it was a red link for a short time.-- Brainy J ~~ (talk) 21:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I apologize for the mistake. I also removed the message form your talk page. I like the Nixon reference by the way. --Mr. Guye (talk) 21:52, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fresh start, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Recovery (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Mushqil

Hi! Your attempt to add the db template to Mushqil broke the formatting and removed the AFD template, so I've reverted the page back a bit. Just letting you know. Ducknish (talk) 23:22, 12 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful please

I saw this edit - you probably don't know this, but one of the three ships mentioned (USS Hornet (CV-8)) wasn't even in service, and another (USS Enterprise (CV-6)) was in the Pacific at the time. Subtle vandalism can be hard to detect, especially when it's hoax-y material like this, so rather than reinstating it, it's probably better to bring it up on the article's talk page. Thanks.

Reverting multiple vandal edits

Hi, please be more careful when reverting vandal edits. On List of Java virtual machines, the vandal made two separate edits, but you only reverted the first one. This often gives other editors the impression that the vandalism has been dealt with. If nobody double-checks, such vandalism can persist for years. -- intgr [talk] 15:35, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please watch your edit summaries: Saying an edit is "slanderous" is both impossible (it's "fixed", so it would be "libelous") and making a legal conclusion. Just say "

WP:BLP violation" or "unsourced", or, if it's clear, "vandalism". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:16, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

speedy

I do not understand why you placed a speedy tag on

Barabati-Cuttack (Odisha Vidhan Sabha constituency). It is not one of the class of things to which a7 applies, and it is not the least incoherent, but a normal sort of electoral district article. In the edit summary, you wrote " (Not everyone knows where that is.)" -- but the title specifies the Indian state it is in--and if someone doesn't know where in India that might be, the link to the article on that state will tell them.

Carabao and Aed Carabao

Hello, you were worried that I am associated with the band Carabao or Aed Carabao. I am not associated with either and have never met either. I lived in Thailand 30 years ago for two years, during which I went to two concerts and did not even see them backstage. For about the last 5 years, I a have been following the band via the Internet. And I have translated 60 of their songs into English, again without any involvement or even acknowledgement of the band. I am on a fan facebook page which allows me to listen to interviews with band members and know about concerts and new albums and other events. It also gives me access to other fans, including Pierre Theze, who took that last picture recently and gave it to me for Wikipedia. I can speak and read the language and am well placed to write/translate Wikipedia pages on this important subject. As you can see from the Carabao Wikipedia page, the band is a big deal in Thailand and other countries and have almost unknown to English speakers because of the huge language barrier. For instance, Aed Carabao does not speak English well at all and all of the interviews he gives are in Thai. There are Thai Wikipedia pages for almost all their 28 studio albums and over time, I plan to translate those into English as well. In "real life" I am the Assistant Editor of the Journal of Economic Perspectives so I understand about standards, and copyright, and conflict of interest, and I am trying to follow the rules. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.128.60 (talk) 12:54, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

diplomatically. I'm glad we got this all straightened out. Thank you for your contributions. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:36, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply

This article is noy a hoax. I was very easily able to source it, using just google, and just English language sources. "Hoax" is a serious charge, and an unreferenced article should not be assumed to be either a hoax -- or original research -- until you have tried to source it and failed. In my early days here, I once or twice labeled as hoaxes things I simply did not understand, and got very embarrassed when those who knew the field showed they were quite well known.

utopian and dystopian fiction

Okay, stop it. You guys are edit-warring. Talk it out on the Talk:Utopian and dystopian fiction page. --Lquilter (talk) 23:40, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gonzaga University School of Law

1. Why not simply include the link to the page about the alumni rather than listing all of the alumni on the school's wiki page? This would help maintain clarity on the page. 2. The school does not have alumni in all 50 states currently--it only has alumni practicing in all 49 states.Joemeservy (talk) 00:52, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. You weren't explaining why you were blanking. You're fine. --Mr. Guye (talk) 00:54, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gutter Punks

Thank you for your additions to the

Gutter punks page. I tried to get it deleted, but alas, it was a 1 to 2 vote to keep. You should have added your vote to the Deletion discussion. The article is pointless, does not provide any real information, and does not meet wiki standards for notability. Gstridsigne (talk) 01:59, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply

Thanks, I guess. I feel as if it is biased but IDK. --Mr. Guye (talk) 02:02, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why tag w/bias tag?

I was curious as to your rationale for this edit. --Epeefleche (talk) 05:03, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because the article appears to promote his persistence and his activism. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:27, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think you misunderstand what "bias" means here. Is there a statement -- even one statement at all -- anywhere in the article that is not supported by a proper source, and which is the least bit promotional? Epeefleche (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Argentine films

Hi. All of the films of Armando Bo are pretty notable, smutty, yes, but I'm surprised you would confuse lack of content with lack of notability. Most of the Argentine films are badly in need of expansion which I aim to do gradually by director but prodding them for deletion isn't the way to go about it. The short stubs came about after converting hundreds of redirects into articles and I didn't have time to fill them all out. It's a working progress. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:57, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit to 1940 in science

Your recent edit to this article, adding the peacock-term template is inappropriate, and I have reverted it. The Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch states, among other things, "Words such as these are often used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information' (after listing some examples). It also states The advice in this guideline is not limited to the examples provided and should not be applied rigidly.

This article is a list; one of perhaps 600 such by-year in science list-articles, many of which have the exact same head sentence. The phrase "year x in science and technology involved some significant events" is verifiably true for many years, certainly for 1940. The events listed are supported by cites and by having Wikipedia articles that, if nothing else, pass the notability test.

Please try not to place drive-by tags. Please spend more time in examining articles for problems; make sure that there actually is' a problem, and that your actions will improve the article. Otherwise the result is disruptive for readers and creates work for other Wikipedia editors. - Neonorange (talk) 23:53, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Ed. Gu.

Edward Guiliano clearly doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability standard. Delete quickly please. Thanks--Paeancrime (talk) 01:10, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is still under speedy deletion. Take a look. Mr. Guye (talk) 01:12, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now a third person got rid of mine, which included your rationale! --Mr. Guye (talk) 01:14, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What are you doing at May 13?

Perhaps it's because you're editing from a mobile, perhaps it's not. Whatever you're doing, please don't do it again. Thanks.

Edit summaries

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! --220 of Borg 08:33, 14 May 2014 (UTC) [reply]
