Hi Everything counts,
I see you removed the UK section listing brands. I must admit I was somewhat uncomfortable with it, though since it was wikilinks not external links I did not think it blatant advertising.
The difficulty here is the balance— you will notice, forexample, Post's and Kellogg's are mentioned elsewhere in the article. I think it was NPOV to say Kellogg's is the biggest player in the UK market, I *think* I put a ref there, if not I had one that was true but not suitable for Wikipedia (lies damned lies and statistics etc).
I think it's important to get away from the article being, I think, perhaps a little too US-centric, but quite understand that you don't want just a list of brand names. This I find a little tricky since most people eat brand names, and, except for Kellogg's, wouldn't know who made it (i.e. the product name is more important than the company name). Anything you could suggest for how to balance these conflicting demands, I should be very grateful to receive them, and have a go at writing another UK section that is not just a list of brands.
I do appreciate how I put it was unsatisfactory, I thought so myself at the time, but I thought better than nothing. Q.E.D. because at least then you get something debated. Had I asked about it on the talk page, I would bet you all Lombard-street to a China orange I would have had no response at all.
Anyway, I like a Full breakfast.
Very best wishes SimonTrew ( talk) 00:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
For what particular reason was that information we added declared as original research and removed about urban decay? Our reasons for inclusions of information was because some of our students attending UWEC are investigating urban decay, plus are residents from cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, Quad Cities or Twin Cities; and some even originate via Cincinnati, Cleveland and Indianapolis. What better information can we find connected with urban decay that can be cited as proper sources for this very Wikipedia we are working on?

You wrote
In 2009, the turnpike became the first publicly-owned toll facility in the U.S. (and the second in the world) to allow users to pay tolls with a debit or credit card.
1. "Turnpike" should be capitalized because it refers specifically to the Ohio Turnpike and not just turnpikes in general.
2. More importantly, the statement refers only to the U.S., not the world. (Review the source.) This could be clarified by moving the "and the second overall" clause to after the word "facility" in my version, but it seems unambiguous as it is/was.
3. The rest of the changes are minor and need not be changed back, though I'm not sure why they couldn't have stayed as they were.

Edit - A 2009 study identifies the consolidation of usage of the Web to a small number of top websites.[24]
The Long Tail is based on the premiss that
- the least-frequently-occurring 80% of items are more important as a proportion of the total population.-
and
-the long tail, represented here by the portion of the curve to the right of the 20th percentile — can become the largest area under the line.-
This is based on a small number of studies of a small area of the internet. Yet the tone of the article suggests that this has general application to the Web. A point that is not refuted or criticized in the article. I wished to critique this point of general application by pointing out that a meta-study of the usage of the web finds that this is not so. May this revision be changed back in order to add balance to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.73.141 ( talk) 02:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Everything counts. I noticed that you have kept an eye on Middlesex (novel) for quite some time; you were the #1 contributor to the article until you were overtaken by myself and Gingsengbomb.

Hi - thanks for your assistance with the BoH article, much appreciated. I've just one query. I was taught that a list should be seperated by commas except the last two items which are seperated by "and". I notice you have changed the lists so that the last 2 items are seperated by both "and" and a ",". To me this looks totally wrong.
I think it should be a, b, c, d and e.
And not a, b, c, d, and e.

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, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 18:22, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there,
Thanks for the copy edit. Not entirely sure about this. It's a *fairly* common term but not exclusively-- do you think your edit might imply that?
I added it to the dab page too.
Totally agree with you about leaving an edit summary. SimonTrew ( talk) 00:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Everything counts,
I see you removed the UK section listing brands. I must admit I was somewhat uncomfortable with it, though since it was wikilinks not external links I did not think it blatant advertising.
The difficulty here is the balance— you will notice, forexample, Post's and Kellogg's are mentioned elsewhere in the article. I think it was NPOV to say Kellogg's is the biggest player in the UK market, I *think* I put a ref there, if not I had one that was true but not suitable for Wikipedia (lies damned lies and statistics etc).
I think it's important to get away from the article being, I think, perhaps a little too US-centric, but quite understand that you don't want just a list of brand names. This I find a little tricky since most people eat brand names, and, except for Kellogg's, wouldn't know who made it (i.e. the product name is more important than the company name). Anything you could suggest for how to balance these conflicting demands, I should be very grateful to receive them, and have a go at writing another UK section that is not just a list of brands.
I do appreciate how I put it was unsatisfactory, I thought so myself at the time, but I thought better than nothing. Q.E.D. because at least then you get something debated. Had I asked about it on the talk page, I would bet you all Lombard-street to a China orange I would have had no response at all.
Anyway, I like a Full breakfast.
Very best wishes SimonTrew ( talk) 00:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
For what particular reason was that information we added declared as original research and removed about urban decay? Our reasons for inclusions of information was because some of our students attending UWEC are investigating urban decay, plus are residents from cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, Quad Cities or Twin Cities; and some even originate via Cincinnati, Cleveland and Indianapolis. What better information can we find connected with urban decay that can be cited as proper sources for this very Wikipedia we are working on?

When you removed Qatar Airways from Tysons Corner VA, you said: "(not notable -- there are many companies with offices in the area)"

In 2009, the Turnpike became the first publicly-owned toll facility in the United States, and the second overall, to offer users the option of paying tolls by using a debit or credit card.
You wrote
In 2009, the turnpike became the first publicly-owned toll facility in the U.S. (and the second in the world) to allow users to pay tolls with a debit or credit card.
1. "Turnpike" should be capitalized because it refers specifically to the Ohio Turnpike and not just turnpikes in general.
2. More importantly, the statement refers only to the U.S., not the world. (Review the source.) This could be clarified by moving the "and the second overall" clause to after the word "facility" in my version, but it seems unambiguous as it is/was.
3. The rest of the changes are minor and need not be changed back, though I'm not sure why they couldn't have stayed as they were.

Edit - A 2009 study identifies the consolidation of usage of the Web to a small number of top websites.[24]
The Long Tail is based on the premiss that
- the least-frequently-occurring 80% of items are more important as a proportion of the total population.-
and
-the long tail, represented here by the portion of the curve to the right of the 20th percentile — can become the largest area under the line.-
This is based on a small number of studies of a small area of the internet. Yet the tone of the article suggests that this has general application to the Web. A point that is not refuted or criticized in the article. I wished to critique this point of general application by pointing out that a meta-study of the usage of the web finds that this is not so. May this revision be changed back in order to add balance to the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.73.141 ( talk) 02:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I reverted the changes you made on Adams Morgan and stated the reasons why on the talk page. The business strip portion still sounds strange but Columbia Rd is not an addendum to 18th street, it could be easily argued that Columbia Rd. is the primary business strip given its higher revenue generation, if you can word it better, please do.

Hi, Everything counts. I noticed that you have kept an eye on Middlesex (novel) for quite some time; you were the #1 contributor to the article until you were overtaken by myself and Gingsengbomb. I've worked on the article for the past two months and am trying to get it to a good article and later to a featured article. I have noticed that you copyedit many articles, and I was wondering if you could take a look at Middlesex. If you don't have the time, it's all right, since I have two editors, Ginsengbomb ( talk · contribs) and SMasters ( talk · contribs), copyediting it. But it would be very helpful and much appreciated; with more eyes, the article will be significantly improved. Thanks, Cunard ( talk) 08:16, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi - thanks for your assistance with the BoH article, much appreciated. I've just one query. I was taught that a list should be seperated by commas except the last two items which are seperated by "and". I notice you have changed the lists so that the last 2 items are seperated by both "and" and a ",". To me this looks totally wrong.
I think it should be a, b, c, d and e.
And not a, b, c, d, and e.
I'm planning to change this but there are a lot of places in the article where this happens so I thought I'd get your input first. Let me know. Regards, Iangurteen ( talk) 13:27, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

I've stripped the section back to one point that's actually (badly) citable. Hopefully, you'll be OK with a briefer but a section that would fit better (thought not well) in an encyclopedia. I've warned Flea of WP:3RR too.
I've taken the first step and tried to make a compromise edit. I know it breaches about twenty WP policies, but if we can get to a stable but crappy compromise edit, it saves a pretty pointless edit war, no?

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, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 18:22, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
