Hey there. I had a quick question about something on your user page.
Let's say I come across a statement like this: "The Marker" has estimated that his family's holdings are worth between 200-250 million dollars.[citation needed] (from Yaakov Aryeh Alter). It's unsourced and it's in a biography of a living person. Should statements like this be moved to the talk page? Should they simply be removed? Should they remain in the article indefinitely? And if the answer is yes to any of these questions, under what circumstances? Would a quick Google search that doesn't reveal anything be sufficient to remove the text? If it's not evidently negative, does that mean we should default to keeping it in the article indefinitely?
I'm not trying to be bothersome, but I am genuinely curious how editors view this particular topic. And you added the emphasis on your user page, so I assume you have some views on the matter. :-) Cheers. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 06:57, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

It is also incumbent on YOU to think about what you are reverting and doing even a cursory research on your revert. Based on the way YOU operate, we should delete Spector's middle name at the top of the page - why? - it's not sourced (the link to the police department that booked him does not list his middle name - thus it is unsourced). My guess is that you are a teenager - that's based on the sheer number of edits that you are doing - you can't be married. You are one of these busybodies that "dumb down" Wikipedia by making reverts on things that you know nothing about. I happen to know the law and Spector's case quite well. In any event, I won't be making any more edits - why should I try to help other people if busybodies like you are buzzing around, spending your entire day reverting edits by people - I don't have problem with you making edits of obvious vandalism, but what was originally posted on Spector's page was fully truthful and not vandalism. That guy, Realist2, if you go to his page, you will find that he is heavily into music - that is most likely his motivation for reversing the original edit about the parole age and likely life sentence - because he likes Spector's contribution to music and dislikes negative edits to Spector's entry. Again, my suggestion to you is get a life. Oh, and stop bothering people with your useless edits - again, I don't have a problem with you making reverts of obvious vandalism, but none of that entry was vandalism. If you don't like "unsourced" information, then go down the entire Spector entry and eliminate everything without a source (start with his middle name at the top) - otherwise, butt out.

An editor just added this to the Jackson article, for the claim that he is "the biggest-selling artist of all time". While the source passes the requirements of WP:RS, the fact that they say "he has been proclaimed the biggest-selling artist of all time", indicates that the source is not actually committing itself to the assertion.

I apologise for my edits to Terry Wogan. I just think with a bit of editing he's pretty funny. Imagine Wogan, Uncle Terry, with no pyjama bottoms on. All lovely and that.

Currently I can't edit without getting into a edit conflict anyway. Every Jackson related article has gone into overdrive, I have a big mess to come back to.

Hi. You and I had a discussion here about interpreting satire, and now it seems that I may have scared off an editor who insisted on adding this material to the Towelie article. I tried to explain to him all the policies that prohibited this, including WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:SYNTH, WP:Fancruft, WP:Trivia, WP:Crystal, etc., but he insists that I have "misinterpreted" Wikipedia policy to suit my own viewpoint. His counterarguments include pointing out that WP:Crystal forbids speculation about future events, and not past TV episodes. I tried to point out the spirit of WP:V and its related policies forbids speculation of any kind, as well as facts whose relevance to the article cannot be established by sources, but he would not budge, and after I warned him not to revert the article further, he felt that I had used my power as an admin to force my interpretation of policy. I told him that that's not how it works, and that if he wanted, I could start a consensus discussion on this so that he could see this (I honestly didn't think initially that such a discussion on a point where policy is so clear was necessary), but he did not respond. I've made my offer to him again just now, and pending his response, I was wondering if you could look over the discussion and chime in on his Talk Page with your thoughts. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and he's right, and I want to show him that WP works by consensus and transparency, and not unilateral activity by one editor or admin. Can you? The prior discussion on his Talk Page and mine is here and here. The relevant portion of the article's History is from 18:41, 28 June 2009 to 18:51, 29 June 2009. Thanks.

That guy, Realist2, if you go to his page, you will find that he is heavily into music - that is most likely his motivation for reversing the original edit about the parole age and likely life sentence - because he likes Spector's contribution to music and dislikes negative edits to Spector's entry. Again, my suggestion to you is get a life. Oh, and stop bothering people with your useless edits - again, I don't have a problem with you making reverts of obvious vandalism, but none of that entry was vandalism. If you don't like "unsourced" information, then go down the entire Spector entry and eliminate everything without a source (start with his middle name at the top) - otherwise, butt out.
God, today has been a totally draining day at Wikipedia. — R 2 00:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

I would like you to put me right on something, and no need to sugar-coat it either. You may remember that a few months ago I asked you about adminship, and whether I should apply for it. Seeing as though I'm now going to have more time on my hands, I am once again considering - this time seriously - putting together an RfA. Now, I have it my head that you offered to nominate me in some capacity, but obviously I could have got completely the wrong end of the stick. Am I deluding myself? If not, I would like to file in the next few days. - Jarry1250 ( t, c) 19:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
24.15.125.234 ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Hello. Since I'm a fairly new editor, I'm not sure how to report edit warring. IP 24.15.125.234 has been quite obnoxious in his editing of multiregional hypothesis. He/she recently violated the 3RR. I'm not sure if this is the right place to go (I can't seem to find where) so I'm just going to tell an administrator this way. Please keep an eye on him/her. Thanks, Airplaneman ( talk) 23:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Okay, so it seems like every time I edit something on the Two Pints article then you always change it back. Now I know now that I have edited articles incorrectly in the past but do you really need to threaten to block me from editing. Listen I am 14 okay! give me a break. oh and by the way. Two Pints 'When Janet Met Jonny' is a special. In the Two Pints outtakes which features interviews with the cast and Susan Nickson she talked about the specials. She said and I quote 'they are currently 4 specials. A Musical, a horror, a live episode and a comic relief special'

I saw you had reverted one of my edits on his mainspace page about email, and I had just gotten off the 2010_(film) page which implied the correspondence was through snail mail. Guess that will teach me for not reading sources. I've changed it on 2010 and added the reference so they should match. Email in 1984? I learn something new every day. Thanks!

why do you keep editing my quote. What I have written is true and I am a personal friend of James and he has asked me to update the site. He now resides here for the summer months and returns in August to the mainland I shall edit the page again and then change it back when he returns in August to the mainland.

An editor just added this to the Jackson article, for the claim that he is "the biggest-selling artist of all time". While the source passes the requirements of WP:RS, the fact that they say "he has been proclaimed the biggest-selling artist of all time", indicates that the source is not actually committing itself to the assertion. Am I right in that view? — Please comment R 2 14:13, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
I was told to frequent ANI a little less often. I didn't think a couple of edits from a new account would be a problem, but your comment is noted. Sum ding wong ( talk) 00:03, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
How is removing a template regarded as vandalism when I made the edit in good faith and another user did the same exact thing and probably wasn't warned about it. That's completely unfair imo. 01:07, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

His father was probably British, as he was in the British military, but I don't know about his mother. She may have been German or Indian. As for the American part though, do we really need documented proof of American citizenship to call him American? Marcus2 ( talk) 14:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
It is not single minded disrupiton, I have been a willing and civil contributor on Wikipedia for a year now and I was using the Wikipedia policy on NI flags to determine that NI use the Ulster banner in Football and so I was placing the UB next to NI football related articles.

For the spelling catch on De Iniusta Vexacione Willelmi Episcopi Primi. For some reason, I kept typing "trail" for "trial" throughout and thought I'd caught them all, guess I didn't! Ealdgyth - Talk 15:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Rod,
So do you literally spend all day looking for people like me and catching them out? Do you get paid for it? Sorry I just find it very interesting.

Ok, I guess you must have a fascination for Engelbert Humperdinck then. My interest needs no gratitude, you do a fantastic job and the fact that you spend a great deal of your life contributing to something that will never reward you in any way whatsoever amazes me. I guess I must be self-obsessed.
I apologise for my edits to Terry Wogan. I just think with a bit of editing he's pretty funny. Imagine Wogan, Uncle Terry, with no pyjama bottoms on. All lovely and that. Stare into his lovely brown eyes, bulging with experience and charisma, into each greying hair that tells a story of 'nil points', and tell me my edits were invalid. Why did you delete my posts!! 92.30.20.230 ( talk) 15:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Wogan's not simple! He's a complex and often cruel and malevolent creature. Ah well. Thanks anyway, kept me amused for 5 minutes. I'm off to vandalise Rolf Harris. I'm joking, of course. Or am I? No. I am. 92.30.20.230 ( talk) 15:28, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Is that coincidence? Or were you given all the 'past-it' presenters to keep an eye on? In that case, I may try Paul Daniels. Or Dale Winton.
Honestly, I am sorry for all this. I only finished my A Levels a week ago- starting to remember what free time is like... 92.30.20.230 ( talk) 15:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

....as you can probably imagine, I won't be editing Wikipedia for several days, I'll clean up the mess that is his main biography in a week or so, when everything has died down, and we can actually seek consensus on issues. Currently I can't edit without getting into a edit conflict anyway. Every Jackson related article has gone into overdrive, I have a big mess to come back to. I did not get to sleep until 9am, I was glued to the TV, so I've only slept a few hours. I cannot believe this has happened, Michael Jackson is dead. — Please comment R 2 12:26, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
How do I contact the Beatles Wikipedia? I definitely think ALL Beatle albums should be listed. To do otherwise is to promote inaccuracies. I tried ADDING an American chronological order of albums. Why can this not be done?....Have both a UK listing and an American/Canadian listing. Once again, NOT recognizing albums is purposely promoting inaccuracies.

Hi. You and I had a discussion here about interpreting satire, and now it seems that I may have scared off an editor who insisted on adding this material to the Towelie article. I tried to explain to him all the policies that prohibited this, including WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:SYNTH, WP:Fancruft, WP:Trivia, WP:Crystal, etc., but he insists that I have "misinterpreted" Wikipedia policy to suit my own viewpoint. His counterarguments include pointing out that WP:Crystal forbids speculation about future events, and not past TV episodes. I tried to point out the spirit of WP:V and its related policies forbids speculation of any kind, as well as facts whose relevance to the article cannot be established by sources, but he would not budge, and after I warned him not to revert the article further, he felt that I had used my power as an admin to force my interpretation of policy. I told him that that's not how it works, and that if he wanted, I could start a consensus discussion on this so that he could see this (I honestly didn't think initially that such a discussion on a point where policy is so clear was necessary), but he did not respond. I've made my offer to him again just now, and pending his response, I was wondering if you could look over the discussion and chime in on his Talk Page with your thoughts. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong and he's right, and I want to show him that WP works by consensus and transparency, and not unilateral activity by one editor or admin. Can you? The prior discussion on his Talk Page and mine is here and here. The relevant portion of the article's History is from 18:41, 28 June 2009 to 18:51, 29 June 2009. Thanks.

sorry, i'm new at this. i didn't think of looking at the history before i applied an edit. i see there is a running debate about brett's date of birth. so, maybe my edit is wrong. in any event, i think some kind of consensus should be reached. the page, before i edited it, stated 1933 in the body of the story, but 1935 in the infobox. additionally, the infobox stated an age at death of 61, which could only be accurate if the birth date was indeed 1933. either that, or the age at death should be changed to 59. one way or another, all this data should agree with itself. it looks pretty silly otherwise. jmo. 4.154.129.117 ( talk) 03:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
