Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dessert, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blin. 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.

Please, change what is not OK from this text in Windows 8.1 and I will update it tomorrow.
Gartner recommends enterprises to skip Windows 8.1 and wait for Windows 10, as Windows 7 support will be provided until Jan. 14, 2020 and there is no pressing deadline. They recommend downgrading devices installed with Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 until Windows 10 is available. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.17.103.210 ( talk) 19:26, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Steve Kleynhans from Gartner urged enterprises to prevent from migrating to Windows 8.1. In his report, he indicated that as Windows 7 support will be provided until 2020 enterprises should directly migrate to Windows 10 after it's released. [2]

NONE of those characters are "sourced". i watched that movie last night, he plays Miles Teller, "second baseman at UNC". clearly, he is not playing himself.
I see the change you ultimately made, which I'm not satisfied with, but that aside I would like an explanation here: there are 20 entries in Miles Teller's filmography and not a single one is cited. Further, the original text stating that he played himself, which is obviously incorrect to anyone that has seen the movie, was not cited. Even further, Miles Teller being quoted in an interview saying it was "more of a cameo" isn't complete, b/c the truth is that he plays a character named Miles Teller that is obviously not based on him in real life (in the movie he's a college baseball player), which is more interesting than just saying he plays a character named Miles and it's a cameo; that makes it sound like he's playing himself again (which is blatantly wrong). Can I just cite the film as a reference? It is a first source in this case, after all (and also what I was basing my editing on). Can I cite this shitty youtube video of his scenes in the movie? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb8lxtCB7LM
I really think you should just let me change it to playing Miles Teller and putting "Not as Himself" in the note, instead of the current Miles and "Cameo appearance".

Hi ChamithN, You must not have properly checked my edit.
If you attempt to click the link that is currently there and running through the Youtube tag, it generates a /watch?v= URL for Youtube, which is not correct for linking to a Users channel.
I edited the link so that it correctly linked to https://www.youtube.com/user/scishowspace/ which you have now removed.
Please change it back and remember to test changes before you apply or remove them.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.173.194 ( talk) 08:28, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

2015 GA Cup - Round 2
![]() Greetings, GA Cup competitors! Wednesday saw the end of Round 1. The Rambling Man, who was eliminated during the first round in our last competition, earned an impressive 513 points, reviewed twice as many articles (26) as any other competitor. It was a tight race for second for first-time competitors BenLinus1214 and Tomandjerry211, who finished second and third with 243 and 224 points, respectively. Close behind was Wugapodes, who earned 205 points. The change in our points system had an impact on scoring. It was easier to earn higher points, although the key to success didn't change from last time, which was choosing articles with older nomination dates. For example, most of the articles The Rambling Man reviewed were worth 18 points in the nomination date category, and he benefited from it. BenLinus1214 reviewed the longest article, A Simple Plan (at 26,536 characters, or 4,477 words), the 1994 film starring Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda and directed by Sam Raimi, and earned all possible 5 points in that category. After feedback from our participants, the judges slightly changed the rule about review length this time out. Shorter reviews are now allowed, as long as reviewers give nominators an opportunity to address their feedback. Shorter reviews are subject to the judges' discretion; the judges will continue their diligence as we continue the competition. Despite having fewer contestants at the beginning of Round 1 than last time, 132 articles were reviewed, far more than the 117 articles that were reviewed in Round 1 of the inaugural GA Cup. All of us involved should be very proud of what we've accomplished thus far. The judges are certain that Round 2 will be just as successful. 16 contestants have moved onto Round 2 and have been randomly placed in 4 groups of 4, with the top 2 in each pool progressing to Round 3, as well as the top participant ("9th place") of all remaining competitors. Round 2 has already begun and will end on August 29 at 23:59:59 UTC. Information about Round 2 and the pools can be found here. Good luck and remember to have fun! Cheers from Dom497, Figureskatingfan, 3family6 and Jaguar, and MrWooHoo. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to
our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Hello,
I believe you have made several edits to the page Newk's Eatery which are in error.
First of all, the company does plan to more than double by 2018. That's verifiable in the citation. It is not an editorial opinion or crystal ball. The last sentence in the cited article is: "The company plans to have a total of 200 restaurants by 2018 and expand into the Southwest and Midwest, enabled in part by its acquisition by Sentinel."
Second, you changed the number of locations. I assume you were pulling the number from that same article, however that article is a year old, and the chain has expanded. If you look at other, more recent, sources referenced (or even the company website) you'll see that they have over 90. Thus, "nearly 100" is a more accurate phrase. Given the rate of growth, an exact number would become outdated within a matter of weeks.
Third, you tagged a source as needing a subscription. This is not accurate. Some of the articles on NRN require a free account but no subscription, and current articles are open to anyone. As articles get older they require a free account to view in whole.
Fourth, you added an orphan tag. This is factually untrue based on the Wikipedia definition of orphan. This should to be removed. You've also added the manual tag and I am unsure what you mean by that. This article follows the form of general restaurant articles.
I don't want to get into a "Wikipedia war." Can we work together to fix these issues and improve this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southrunner10 ( talk • contribs) 16:52, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
