My clearly useful edit was reverted because 'articles should always be written from a neutral point of view'.

No hypocrisy there at all. You edit stated "it was totally awesome". Now, if you had been quoting a notable film critic, the edit would have been entirely appropriate, as long as you sourced your edit. However, your edit is blatantly your own opinion. Please see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. The goal is neutrality, but we are all human. That's why I list my interests and personal beliefs on my user page, to give other editors a frame of reference to my own edits, because indeed I hope they are able to guide me back to the "straight and narrow" should I violate this core Wiki policy.

my reference is as follows from the website http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/GilbertoColina/Subpage.aspx?mod=1 , quoting the preceding web page in his(Mr Colina's)father's own writing: "My personal life has been a happy one, even after Marguerite, my wife, and I wanted children and found out we couldn’t have them. Later on, after World War II was over, we decided to start adoption procedures. It was not easy. We had to apply at different agencies. Some let us know that there were not many children for adoption. Another said the waiting period was a long wait, but we were willing to wait. In particular, once when I called to inquire I was told they could not give us a child because I was Cuban and a Catholic. Of course, when I got through talking to her, I am sure she will never forget me. My friends at Hawthorne Pharmacy said the telephone wires were smoking! Marguerite and I never gave up. We placed an application with the city and county social services. Mr. Wallace Kuwait was the director, a pleasant and helpful person and a gentleman. They began the adoption process. It was slow but we were optomistic and with the help of a few influential friends we got the ball rolling. Letters from Dr. Claude Squires, Dr. William Matthew, Dr. Grace Jones and Mr. Eadis helped a great deal. One day when we least expected it, the social supervisor called and gave us the news. They had a little boy. We went to see him and immediately fell in love with him. They said if we wanted to adopt him, we could come back the following week and take him home, as they had to take him to the doctor for shots and IQ tests. For a week we were walking on a cloud. We were high up, getting all the necessary things needed for a newborn and making all the arrangements. We now had to decide on a name and it was not easy. But Marguerite, now a mother, decided to call the new family member Michael Alan Colina. Soon we brought Michael home to 409 Rensselear Avenue and everyone in the family celebrated the happy occasion. " Whodonit ( talk) 01:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi 78.26,
A couple months back you offered to provide scans of Andy Williams album jackets if I needed them. I was wondering if you have either of the jackets for the first Cadence collection of his that they put out in 1958 that was simply called Andy Williams. The first version has him standing next to someone dressed in a lion costume, and the other is just him against a red background. I'll probably post the album page over this next week, and if you have them and would be able to post them at some point when you have time, that would be great. Thanks!

MacArthur Park of length 7:21 was released in 1968. Bob Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone' of length 6:13 was released in 1965. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercurymouth ( talk • contribs) 23:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure what your point is. The edit I reverted said that prior to Dylan's single, no single longer than three minutes had ever been played on the radio. Let me know if I made some other error. 78.26 ( talk) 23:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
My point was that MacArthur Park couldn't possibly have been the turning point in singles above three minutes playing on the radio as it was released in 1968 however Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone (6:13) was released and aired on the radio in 1965 and it is widely considered as the reason why the radio started playing songs over 3 minutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercurymouth ( talk • contribs) 21:01, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
I think we are in absolute agreement. My objection, to a different editor, was the statement that said that no single had *ever* been played that was longer than 3 minutes. This is true in general, but in the 1940s, for instance, the big band single was typically instrumental-vocal chorus-instrumental. These routinely went longer than 3 minutes (although not much longer), and were played on the radio with regularity. As a specific example, Count Basie's "I Can't Stop Loving You" from 1963, #77 on the charts, certainly recieved significant airplay, and runs at 4 minutes and 34 seconds, thereby disproving the statements that I reverted. However, this has nothing to do with your edits, which are correct, as Dylan's single was certainly a game-changer. All the best, 78.26 ( talk) 21:14, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

The place to start regarding notability is Wikipedia:Notability. Are there any reliable sources that mention the stream? Facebook doesn't count. I'm sorry it's a bit jarring to have an article you spent time on nominated for deletion. I hope that someone with knowledge (and sources) about the subject will improve the article. I'm pretty sure the article will be kept, as many editors feel that any named geographic feature is inherently notable.

Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the article and removed over long preview and external link. I'm new to wikipedia, tried to research this stream but came up a blank on the internet, hence I decided to research and publish on wikipedia for future use. I've charted the stream locally and based from information from a photocopy sheet of paper that appears to have come from a book but I cannot establish source. I used facebook to advertise for more information to come forward and invite discussion, thus my reason for inclusion into the external links in the first instance. I would welcome any help in rescuing the article as I feel this information could be lost for future generations and I would also like to chart other now defunct stream in my area, that all flow into the main River Dodder. Many Thanks. Sean Tradmusicman ( talk) 19:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ✔Tea time 01:45, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Gah, I hate the start and park. It taints the sport haha. The 32 team is definitely a bright spot on this season! Just a question, I've been seeing these user box looking things and vandalism warnings, where are the templates for these things? ( AROUNDNASCAR ( talk) 23:19, 25 April 2011 (UTC))
Ahh! Thank you. That helps. NASCAR really started to fall off the map in 2004 with the introduction of the Chase. I like the new 1-43 points system, but the seeding and the Chase really take the excitement away. It makes for a close finish, but it's fake excitement. The real champion gets cheated a majority of the time. ( AROUNDNASCAR ( talk) 23:33, 25 April 2011 (UTC))
Re. the FUR help/query, I'll consider this 'resolved' for now, then.
Of course, you can always ask me anything you like - any time.
Re. "is there a proper procedure for multiple talkbacks" - no, not really. Perosnally, what I tend to do on subsequent replies is, edit the same section (with my first 'talkback') and just add underneath ":I've replied again ~~~~" and "::And again ~~~~" etc.

I sent out notifications to all the active adventist editors I could find on this, or so I thought. You might be interested in helping write an article on Larry Geraty, the former President of La Sierra University and frankly one of the most prominent adventist academics around. A lot of the information is already on the sandbox page I linked, if you want to help make it into a coherent piece of prose, we would welcome the help! We just completed doing something similar with Heather Knight (educator) which is in the lineup for a DYK, and I think we can do the same with Geraty. BelloWello ( talk) 00:17, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

my reference is as follows from the website http://memorialwebsites.legacy.com/GilbertoColina/Subpage.aspx?mod=1 , quoting the preceding web page in his(Mr Colina's)father's own writing: "My personal life has been a happy one, even after Marguerite, my wife, and I wanted children and found out we couldn’t have them. Later on, after World War II was over, we decided to start adoption procedures. It was not easy. We had to apply at different agencies. Some let us know that there were not many children for adoption. Another said the waiting period was a long wait, but we were willing to wait. In particular, once when I called to inquire I was told they could not give us a child because I was Cuban and a Catholic. Of course, when I got through talking to her, I am sure she will never forget me. My friends at Hawthorne Pharmacy said the telephone wires were smoking! Marguerite and I never gave up. We placed an application with the city and county social services. Mr. Wallace Kuwait was the director, a pleasant and helpful person and a gentleman. They began the adoption process. It was slow but we were optomistic and with the help of a few influential friends we got the ball rolling. Letters from Dr. Claude Squires, Dr. William Matthew, Dr. Grace Jones and Mr. Eadis helped a great deal. One day when we least expected it, the social supervisor called and gave us the news. They had a little boy. We went to see him and immediately fell in love with him. They said if we wanted to adopt him, we could come back the following week and take him home, as they had to take him to the doctor for shots and IQ tests. For a week we were walking on a cloud. We were high up, getting all the necessary things needed for a newborn and making all the arrangements. We now had to decide on a name and it was not easy. But Marguerite, now a mother, decided to call the new family member Michael Alan Colina. Soon we brought Michael home to 409 Rensselear Avenue and everyone in the family celebrated the happy occasion. " Whodonit ( talk) 01:17, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I happen to be certain that Mr Colina's birth name(I have seen and have access to the legal docs through our parent's estate) was absolutely Michael Alan Colina...only...no Dalmau...I know this, as I am his sister, Marsha Eileen Colina DOB 12/23/1952 Thanks for duly noting!

Hello. I think you're moving a little too fast with the "one reference" tag as moments ago, I created the article, starting with, yes, one reference. Now there are two. Give me a few minutes, and I'll add others. Check my edit history, and you'll see that I do a solid job with that.

My removal of the "Proposed geometric test" section was not vandalism; it's basically an advertisement for "Uncle" Al Schwartz's Eötvös torsion experiment. I think it would be a fine experiment to run, but until it actually is (or at least proposed in a proper journal paper) it doesn't belong here. 67.86.70.182 ( talk) 16:57, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi 78.26,
A couple months back you offered to provide scans of Andy Williams album jackets if I needed them. I was wondering if you have either of the jackets for the first Cadence collection of his that they put out in 1958 that was simply called Andy Williams. The first version has him standing next to someone dressed in a lion costume, and the other is just him against a red background. I'll probably post the album page over this next week, and if you have them and would be able to post them at some point when you have time, that would be great. Thanks!

MacArthur Park of length 7:21 was released in 1968. Bob Dylan's 'Like A Rolling Stone' of length 6:13 was released in 1965. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercurymouth ( talk • contribs) 23:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure what your point is. The edit I reverted said that prior to Dylan's single, no single longer than three minutes had ever been played on the radio. Let me know if I made some other error. 78.26 ( talk) 23:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
My point was that MacArthur Park couldn't possibly have been the turning point in singles above three minutes playing on the radio as it was released in 1968 however Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone (6:13) was released and aired on the radio in 1965 and it is widely considered as the reason why the radio started playing songs over 3 minutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mercurymouth ( talk • contribs) 21:01, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
I think we are in absolute agreement. My objection, to a different editor, was the statement that said that no single had *ever* been played that was longer than 3 minutes. This is true in general, but in the 1940s, for instance, the big band single was typically instrumental-vocal chorus-instrumental. These routinely went longer than 3 minutes (although not much longer), and were played on the radio with regularity. As a specific example, Count Basie's "I Can't Stop Loving You" from 1963, #77 on the charts, certainly recieved significant airplay, and runs at 4 minutes and 34 seconds, thereby disproving the statements that I reverted. However, this has nothing to do with your edits, which are correct, as Dylan's single was certainly a game-changer. All the best, 78.26 ( talk) 21:14, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Please explain why this article (muckross stream) is considered for deletion and what is meant by notability. Many thanks. Sean Brennan (tradmusicman) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tradmusicman ( talk • contribs) 18:42, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
The place to start regarding notability is Wikipedia:Notability. Are there any reliable sources that mention the stream? Facebook doesn't count. I'm sorry it's a bit jarring to have an article you spent time on nominated for deletion. I hope that someone with knowledge (and sources) about the subject will improve the article. I'm pretty sure the article will be kept, as many editors feel that any named geographic feature is inherently notable. If you think there's something I can do to help rescue the article, please let me know, I'll do my best. 78.26 ( talk) 19:41, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, I've edited the article and removed over long preview and external link. I'm new to wikipedia, tried to research this stream but came up a blank on the internet, hence I decided to research and publish on wikipedia for future use. I've charted the stream locally and based from information from a photocopy sheet of paper that appears to have come from a book but I cannot establish source. I used facebook to advertise for more information to come forward and invite discussion, thus my reason for inclusion into the external links in the first instance. I would welcome any help in rescuing the article as I feel this information could be lost for future generations and I would also like to chart other now defunct stream in my area, that all flow into the main River Dodder. Many Thanks. Sean Tradmusicman ( talk) 19:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. SilkTork ✔Tea time 01:45, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
