From Heath - I just think after 10 years as a independent singer.songwriter that I should be able to have a wiki page. I'm signed to a label that is distributed by Warner Music, I've performed as the opening act for internationally renowned artists, I spend almost 3 years at the top of the France charts with my cover of "Billie Jean", I've been on numerous international (major label) compilation albums, and have licensed my music to various films, tv, and commercial interests. It's been a slow year or so, musically, so I have not had a reason to update the wiki page.
Additionally, since the page was created, I've become a working actor - namely a commercial voice over actor - and I am currently the voice of AMEX - OPEN and Honey Nut Cheerios. I've spend the past few years as a comedy/improv actor and have created a website for my work at www.swimnaked.tv
The confusion with Brandon Heath has been the bane of my existence, but I don't think it's fair that since he and his new dominate google searches, that I would considered inappropriate to have my own wiki page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heathbrandon ( talk • contribs) 19:15, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

This user helped promote The Body (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to good article status. |
I took the courtesy to contact Gerardw regarding his acceptance of this edit at Jessica Alba yesterday. A future IP edit removed the material, which I was the one to then approve. The reason the movie should not be credited to Alba, as you may be aware, is because no source has been provided as to Alba's actual role, thus putting the edit in violation of WP:CRYSTAL if I understand correctly (if not, please correct me).
In response to my polite note, his only reply is to quote one of the Pending Changes guidelines. Specifically, this one:
A reviewer ensures that the version of the article visible to a casual reader is broadly acceptable. The reviewer checks the pending change(s) for an article and can then decide to either accept it, revert it or modify it then later accept it. Reviewers are not expected to be subject experts and their review is not a guarantee in any way of an error-free article.
Another editor also commented on another change that was either reverted or changed back later (I did not research that one). After a rather stand-offish reply referencing WP:RVW about three times, I further tried to make him understand that common sense should prevail over policy. He fails to understand this, only referencing me to his initial reply instead of saying anything else constructive.
Thus, even though we are nearing the end of this trial, I think it is proving to be quite successful as my latest reviews have shown no visible obvious spam. Hence, we need to consider a change to the policy in the final days of the test. Namely, let's reword the line he uses as his Bible, because he and possibly other reviewers are using it as an excuse to approve any edit they come across that doesn't add spam to an article even if the information might be unsourced or otherwise untrue. Common sense should always prevail. I myself was double-checked on a review that by second opinion was suggested to be incorrect, and I accepted the second opinion politely; however, while that editor was fairly polite as I was and me in exchange, Gerardw apparently prefers to be stand-offish in response to my equally polite concern. Of humour, both my comment to him and the one to me by the second editor in that case occurred at the same time. *LOL*
What are your thoughts either on this matter, on the suggested review of the policy, or both? CycloneGU ( talk) 21:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

In response to my polite note, his only reply is to quote one of the Pending Changes guidelines. Specifically, this one:
A reviewer ensures that the version of the article visible to a casual reader is broadly acceptable. The reviewer checks the pending change(s) for an article and can then decide to either accept it, revert it or modify it then later accept it. Reviewers are not expected to be subject experts and their review is not a guarantee in any way of an error-free article.
Another editor also commented on another change that was either reverted or changed back later (I did not research that one). After a rather stand-offish reply referencing WP:RVW about three times, I further tried to make him understand that common sense should prevail over policy. He fails to understand this, only referencing me to his initial reply instead of saying anything else constructive.
Thus, even though we are nearing the end of this trial, I think it is proving to be quite successful as my latest reviews have shown no visible obvious spam. Hence, we need to consider a change to the policy in the final days of the test. Namely, let's reword the line he uses as his Bible, because he and possibly other reviewers are using it as an excuse to approve any edit they come across that doesn't add spam to an article even if the information might be unsourced or otherwise untrue. Common sense should always prevail. I myself was double-checked on a review that by second opinion was suggested to be incorrect, and I accepted the second opinion politely; however, while that editor was fairly polite as I was and me in exchange, Gerardw apparently prefers to be stand-offish in response to my equally polite concern. Of humour, both my comment to him and the one to me by the second editor in that case occurred at the same time. *LOL*
What are your thoughts either on this matter, on the suggested review of the policy, or both? CycloneGU ( talk) 21:39, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
