I'm confused. I moved the coverage of the album Livity to article "Livity (album)", and in article "Livity", I restored the content about the concept of Livity that it's based on. Why the reversion in article "Livity" to the content of "Livity (album)"? If you'd like to have "Livity" stay about the album, could you please move the text about the concept of Livity to, say, "Livity (concept)"? — Sburke ( talk) 07:59, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

You tagged The Battle of Walla Walla - I've blocked the author as a sock of User:Polllitur (three Ls). He's also been Seringapatam.

I was going to rename the articles about his self-published books and redirect it to the author's page at Dejan Stojanović, but I'm seeing a lack of sources on that entry. It also has quite a bit of puffery to it as well. Would you be willing to do a little detective work to see if he actually merits an article or not? I'll ask for some other people to step in and help as well. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:25, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cindy! Can you please have Angela Miller moved to Angie Miller (American singer)? She is a contestant on the current finalist on American Idol. Although Angela is indeed her birth name, it is not her common name. Angie is the overwhelming usage in reliable sources and on the TV show. In fact, even all the sources in the article verify that it's Angie. The official American Idol website verfies her name as Angie. A Google News search shows over 7,000 results for Angie Miller and about 30 for Angela Miller. I assume the only reason the article's creator titled it with Angela is because there is another Angie Miller article, Angie Miller (British singer), so they decided to use the American Idol contestant's birth name instead of her common name. But they should have titled it Angie Miller (American singer), as I'm requesting here. Thanks! -- 76.189.111.2 ( talk) 15:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey Cindy. :) I saw your edit to add back the "As of" template. The reason I restored that sentence to the way it was originally is solely because that's how all the very active American Idol editors are doing it for all the other Top 5 contestants. See the leads of Janelle Arthur, Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, and Amber Holcomb. All of them use the exact same sentence: "She is currently a Top 5 finalist on the twelfth season of American Idol." So I didn't want to interfere with all these quirky little things the editors have been doing in the various AI articles. In any case, if you feel that the "As of" template should be used, I'm totally fine with it, but it would need to be done in the other four articles also, for consistency. Just wanted to let you know why I changed that sentence back. -- 76.189.111.2 ( talk) 21:45, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Cindy, I'm so sorry to hear about your health issues! I hope everything goes well and things start to improve soon. :) The still-needed fixes that would be great would be the following:
