I know you do a lot of Mississippi edits. I'm not sure what to do with Bellevue, Mississippi. Last year I nominated it for deletion because the place doesn't exist. It's a "proposed" city. AfD was not successful. I've honestly tried to find Bellevue and the closest I could come was this church. Look at the pushback I received from the locals after I deleted the POV from neighboring Oak Grove, Mississippi (which will be part of the proposed "Bellevue"). Would you have a moment to look at the Bellevue article? I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks. Magnolia677 ( talk) 03:21, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

I've recently treated myself to a hard copy of Eagle and LeBlanc's Blues: A Regional Experience ("BARE"), which is generally regarded, I think, as the most authoritative source of info on blues and associated performers' biographical details, particularly birth and death dates, and also maiden names, birth places, etc.. It's not 100.00% accurate, I think... but maybe 99.95% accurate, and definitely a WP:RS. I'll add details when I can to relevant articles, probably on a fairly random basis, but if there are any outstanding questions on which you're burning to get a firm answer, let me know!

What can be done about the three August 2016 Linkrot articles? -- Dthomsen8 ( talk) 20:30, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for cleaning up articles. However, in this edit, you used a script that removed information from several citations. Can you please re-add that information? Please check the results of your script before you move on to another article. I haven't looked through your other edits, but it seems possible that this script is doing the same thing in other articles. Before you use it on more articles, please go through your earlier edits and verify that they aren't removing information from citations. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 01:07, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Hello, there was another instance of the same thing yesterday on The Troubles.
This edit stripped the information from three refs, "UK military operations in Northern Ireland 1969-2006 aka Operation Banner" (a cite template), "Commons Debate, 8 June 1993", and "Northern Ireland becoming a more normalised society".
This edit then fixed one and marked the others as "dead links". One of the two "dead links"
[2] was alive and well this morning. The other I was able to find on the Wayback machine. So you see, dead links are not always dead, and certainly not always dead and gone. I can't see any justification for saying that there's "little point in retaining other information" when you fail to access a link. Quite apart from the not-dead and the Wayback scenarios, the title itself may help to find the content in a case where the url has changed slightly, or where the same story was available on different sites, some of which are still live. Where a url is completely inaccessible, there's all the more reason to keep the other information, since that – not the url – is what is required by
WP:V.
It took me a lot of time to fix those mistakes this morning, far longer than it took you to make them. It took me longer even to type this post to you. All I'm asking is that, in future, you look at your changes before saving, and restore any information that the script has removed.

Thanks for your edits on the Michelle Key article, changing the references to the Cite Web format. As you may have noticed that article is suggested for deletion, which i think is wrong. I'd be happy to have you support my argument to "Keep" the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle Key, if you see fit. I've changed a couple of the references to The Racquetball Blog website to the official draws on the IRF website, which may appease those calling for the article's deletion.

Hi Derek, I'm attempting to put together a detailed wiki page about Thee Hypnotics, I've taken information previously included but rejected and stripped it down of points of view and kept it as a chronological factual history of the band and its recordings. I've included external links, refs and sources. Because of the age of the band some of the sources come from printed reviews and articles like Melody Maker etc also a ref is the extended article about the band by Mojo Mills in Shindig! which is only viewable by paying for a download of it. I have included issue numbers and dates of all used. I have more to include from Sounds NME as well. Do all references have to be web viewable?

Hi,
I notice you made some edits about Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc., and there might be a problem about the article.
I found out recently that there are two pages about Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. here in Wikipidia and this might sounds confusing. Theres Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. and the other one, Pangasinan Solid North Transit, Inc.. It found out that someone move the page De Leon Express and rename it to Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. Although Pangasinan Solid North was the former De Leon Express, I think its best if we retain the first page back to its old name "De Leon Express". This will be similar to the article about Lilian Express and Yanson Group of Bus Companies where as Lilian Express was bought to Yanson Group of Bus Companies yet both articles remain intact and was never been merged.

There is a discussion thread going on at the Garage punk article about the way the genre's definition has been changed from its former orientation.

The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Do you have any interest in this genre? I notice you have helped by writting an extensive amount of material on obscure blues musicians and this subject also needs attention, in my opinion. I have a list of about 20 performers from the 1920s and 30s who are notable but do not have a page yet. If you are interested I can share some with you.

The BLP passes GNG (Actor) as she is a prominent character in the TV series, Hormones: The Series, and there's quite a bit of buzz about her online among viewers in that age group. It appears to me the BLP needs copyediting and at least a few citations in English. I didn't want to remove your GNG tag and replace it with copyedit tags until I discussed it with you first. Your thoughts will be most appreciated. Atsme 📞 📧 17:48, 2 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, on NYU, could you please change Nobel laureates count from 35 to 37, List of Nobel laureates by university affiliation article updated. Also update under "Faculty and alumni" section at NYU. Thanks
I think there are some bare URLs at NYU. Not sure though. Thanks.-- 216.165.95.67 ( talk) 23:41, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I think there's still 1 left, lol. Thanks again.-- 216.165.95.67 ( talk) 00:51, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
I notice you made some edits about Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc., and there might be a problem about the article.
I found out recently that there are two pages about Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. here in Wikipidia and this might sounds confusing. Theres Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. and the other one, Pangasinan Solid North Transit, Inc.. It found out that someone move the page De Leon Express and rename it to Pangasinan Solid North Transit Inc. Although Pangasinan Solid North was the former De Leon Express, I think its best if we retain the first page back to its old name "De Leon Express". This will be similar to the article about Lilian Express and Yanson Group of Bus Companies where as Lilian Express was bought to Yanson Group of Bus Companies yet both articles remain intact and was never been merged.

There is a discussion thread going on at the Garage punk article about the way the genre's definition has been changed from its former orientation. A recent series of edits there have lead to a similar set of developments at the Acid rock article. There are discussions at both articles. The discussion at the Garage punk article is very detailed, so I hope you don't mind if it gets long-winded. Anyone is welcome to participate in the discussion.

Have you checked through this page on German Wikipedia, to see if there is anyone there we have missed? I've randomly come across one or two who had articles there, but not on en:wiki. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 16:08, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Dereck! Thank you for your edits on the "Sofia Espinoza Alvarez" page.
I would like for you to please help review the article "Sofia Espinoza Alvarez" so it can pass the new page patrol filter, as I do not know who else to ask...
Kind regards, VonEdit ( talk) 08:46, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
Derek, I wonder if you aware of this labour-saving link which can be used to format Google books links? Philafrenzy ( talk) 15:36, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
Many thanks for your assistance in the past on the referencing and for replying to my email. I have since added more references and would like your assistance as before. Much appreciated.

As Abba might have sung it - "Thank you for the references...". If you've got time, maybe you could check out my England's Lane page, it's an album by Peter Sarstedt. If you're a collector, I wonder if you know Henry's Records in Burton? Picknick99 ( talk) 12:15, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi - thanks for your edit to Richard Parkes (piper). However, I've made edits to quite a few piping pages and have a particular style that I use for references, and it's probably easier for readers to stick to this. If you're interested in piping, please feel free to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Bagpipes - trying to get it off the ground at the moment! Best, Ostrichyearning ( talk) 18:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!
In addition, the WikiProject is seeking a new facilitator/coordinator to handle the logistics of the award. Please contact L235 if you are interested in helping with the logistics of running the award in any capacity. Remove your name from here to unsubscribe from further EotW-related messages.

Hey Derek. You know I'm a big fan of the work you do going after articles with {{

tags but something is up - on
River Hill High School you tagged a few live links as dead. I'm sure you have an automated tool you're using so I thought I'd bring this to your attention.

Your reflinks edit messed up some of the citations, including deleting parts of the reference. I know we all rely too much on automation, and I am sure this was an inadvertence on your part. Please tend to it. Thanks. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 20:16, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Do you have any interest in this genre? I notice you have helped by writting an extensive amount of material on obscure blues musicians and this subject also needs attention, in my opinion. I have a list of about 20 performers from the 1920s and 30s who are notable but do not have a page yet. If you are interested I can share some with you. But if you still have more blues subjects to cover, I understand. Thank you for all the articles, many I still need to read! TheGracefulSlick ( talk) 21:26, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Derek R Bullamore! I saw you recently edited a page related to the Green party and green politics. There is a new WikiProject that has been formed - WikiProject Green Politics and I thought this might be something you'd be interested in joining! So please head on over to the project page and take a look! Thanks for your time. Me-123567-Me ( talk) 21:42, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

The BLP passes GNG (Actor) as she is a prominent character in the TV series, Hormones: The Series, and there's quite a bit of buzz about her online among viewers in that age group. It appears to me the BLP needs copyediting and at least a few citations in English. I didn't want to remove your GNG tag and replace it with copyedit tags until I discussed it with you first. Your thoughts will be most appreciated. Atsme 📞 📧 17:48, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
It feels a bit like you're following behind me with a pooper scooper and for that I say THANK YOU!! Are you available full-time?
I promise to slow down a bit and not leave such a mess behind. Sorry if I doubled your work load - it wasn't intentional.
