Why delete media history?
I saw you tagged a bunch of articles on media history has being non-notable and unencyclopedic. I'm not sure what the Wikiocracy has against media history, but it is an important part of our culture. I think it's incredibly telling of the institutional biases Wikipedia editors have.
Can you please elaborate on what makes these articles non-notable and unencyclopedic?

Microsoft Most Valuable Professional
Hi, you posted notability and peacock tags on the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional article. This is a subject that has come up in the past. Have you read the top of the discussion (dating from 2004) in the article's Talk page? The Microsoft award program is notable enough. There are thousands of MVPs that do great volunteer work, some dating back to the early 1990's. As per peacock, we may disagree on this a little but I'd like clarification on what sentence/paragraph leads you to place this tag. I'd like to improve the article if you think it's necessary, as a frequent WP editor as a past MVP. There are other links that could be added, but did not want to overwhelm a short article with too many references. Thanks for your attention. -- Alexf(talk) 12:08, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

On The Flintstones Page
I know that many people have been complaining about you cutting out stuff for no reason; I have a complaint too.
On the Flintstones page, you edited out some important sections about the Flinstones; these gave very important pieces of history that the copyright holders would give their right arm to keep it secret; all the editors were doing were shedding light in the circumstances surrounding the Flintstones that many people don't know about.
I don't know what your problem is, but this has got to stop. You just can't go out of your way to hide history just to fit your agenda. Contrary to what you may think, the world is not just black and white; the circumstances behind the creations are much more complex.
I'm reverting the edits this week.

Love the category, btw, and have been adding it to articles where possible.
I am not happy with you're comment on the reference thing on wikipedia!
Rather than downright insulting me on a reference page, the least you could do is edit the questions. PS: I can't se, so how would i be able to se the names on movies about who made them, i also spelled Warner as Worner for the last 8 years, (if i made a mistake again, forgive). I will let it slide this time, but i would like a better answer to my question, you're not being a verry good answerer, (forget grammar), and I am trying to tell you what would make it better. Pay attention to the notices at the reference pages, and remember the term: "Good Faith." I do not appreciate being critecized publicly on spelling and grammar, which so you know i haven't been good with, and never will be good wit it. Doesn't mean i'm a little kid, it just means that grammar is my week point, please respect that, pleaseeeee! 204.112.104.172 (talk) 04:48, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

- It appears he's going for a particular naming pattern: only articles that include "... in popular culture" in their title are now allowed in that category.

- Oh, OK. Well, I'm not sure that I agree that making the category more restrictive is an improvement. The goal is to help readers find articles of interest. Was the category too large, or something, such that the readers had to wade through too much? If so, perhaps this would best be addressed by subcategories. Or is there some other problem?

Conflict: inevitable consequence
By failing to append edits with summaries you are imposing the burden of puzzling out the reasoning behind inexplicable edits/redactions to others. While your designs may have merit, they are not necessarily clear from your actions, the conclusions drawn by others may not accurately reflect your intent, and the actions taken by others in response to your edits may consequently be less than constructive. If you are short on time, consider postponing making edits until you can address this element, essential to the collaborative nature of our undertaking.Mavigogun (talk) 13:36, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I undid your removal of a primary source at [1]. I think that using a primary source is acceptable in this case because
- WP:PRIMARYstates, "Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements that any educated person, with access to the source but without specialist knowledge, will be able to verify are supported by the source." In this case, the source is being used to support one straightforward fact—there is a teacher website belonging to Tera Myers, a science teacher, at the same school mentioned in the accompanying secondary source (KMOV).
- WP:BLPPRIMARYstates, "Do not use trial transcripts and other court records, or other public documents, to support assertions about a living person. Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses. Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source, subject to the restrictions of this policy, no original research, and the other sourcing policies." Her school-hosted educator website is neither a court record nor a public record listing her personal information. Her position at the school has been discussed by two other secondary sources and the primary source used does not constitute original research, synthesis, or unverifiable interpretation of the facts.

References Needed for EFX Wiki
To briefly address the fact that the EFX article has been tagged for 'multiple issues,' I am aware that there need to be cited sources; I believe heavily in citing references. EFX was extremely specific to Las Vegas, and there was very little information about it printed outside of the city at the time it opened. The majority of the information that was released outside of Las Vegas was provided by Michael Crawford's exclusive fan club in the monthly newsletter. Unfortunately, my copies of the newsletters disappeared due to moving multiple times over the course of several years, and I have yet to find them. I'm constantly working to retrieve as many sources as I can find to list in this article, but it is a slow, difficult process. Any and all help is always greatly appreciated in collecting sources and references. I've followed the show since it first opened; it means a lot to me, and I want the wiki article to be as accurate as possible. Thank you for taking an interest in the page. :) CrStickel (talk) 02:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

- I'm disappointed that you chose to un-cap all these articles without waiting for some community involvement. I really think the current standard is wrong, and will be proposing a change. I found 31 articles out of just a couple thousand, suggesting that actual wide use does not agree with the standard. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 20:39, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

- OK. Seems wrong to me, but clear. I get why some names need to be modified to fit within our page naming restrictions, but I don't think we should go out of our way to modify names. Particularly when there's an exception carved out for iThings – to me, that just proves that more people cared about seeing those in their correct form :| . —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 14:48, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

request?
Can I request further edits to the "Horton Hears A Who (film)", plz? everywhere the Kangaroo is mentioned in the article, she is refered as Jane. She is never refered as such in the film. Any chance of rectifying this, plz? Visokor (talk) 06:47, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
Sterling Holloway
Why do you believe heart attack to be correct? It is well-known that he died of a cardiac arrest, look it up (google "sterling holloway cardiac arrest"). Believing that every single edit has to be sourced (or referenced) is insane.

Removal of useful resource
Hi. When you recently edited App store optimization, you removed a text with a reference pointing to the App Developers App Store Optimization Cheat Sheet because you considered it a "spammy looking ref". I had added the link (I wasn't logged in, my bad) to the wikipedia because it has proved useful to several app developers, and I think it will still be useful in the future as it is updated. Please take a better look at it, I clearly don't see how it is less relevant than broad TC articles or the MobileDevHQ Article.

Please take care not to add {{stub}} to an article like Orange (database management and monitoring software) which already has a specific stub template - it just wastes the time of other editors. Thanks. PamD 08:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Page Curation newsletter - closing up!
Hey all :).
We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion
Hi there! I check pages listed in
If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.
If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks!

General notability - Circle time
Hi! I noticed that you added a tag to the article Circle time suggesting that the contents of the article may not meet the guidelines for "general notability." However, the article has been tagged since August 2012 with no indication of removal, and the article itself has existed since May 2006, with no objection raised before then. Unless you wish to pursue the case with a talk page discussion / other action, I intend to remove the tag within the next couple days. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:31, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
- Changed my mind, and removed the tag as obviously unfounded. I see no evidence that the article does not meet general notability. If you still feel that it is not article-worthy, I recommend a talk-page discussion. ProfessorTofty (talk) 04:37, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi. Re. this, I'm somewhat confused by why you added <sup></sup> tags to one of the external links? What purpose are they supposed to serve? They make the link look uglier to me. It Is Me Here t / c 19:15, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
