I appreciate your diligence at trying to deal with these articles. But I had to remove the prod tag because an article being Unsourced is not a reason for deletion; What is a good reason is if sources cannot be found after a proper search, or if the sources that can be found do nto support the material. So please, look for sources--if they cannot be found, use afd, explaining where you looked. If they're not valid articles, afd is a more definiitve way of removing them in any case.

Hi...regarding unsourced material...firstly the existing page for Cullen does not cite any proof for the connection with other surnames, nor its origins, or where the information was obtained...just a map showing former distribution of the name in Ireland and a claim it MAY be linked to Cullinane. Secondly, my surname is Cullen and i live in the Wicklow mountains...the heartland of this name for centuries. It is well known here that the name derives from the Irish for holly tree 'cuileann'. Wicklow and surrounding counties are still the stronghold for my surname and place names associated with it. The other surnames are virtually unknown in this part of Ireland and their similarity is probably coincidental.. their origins being from similar sounding Irish Gaelic words. Cullinane for example may have derived from 'cuil an abhainn', Collins from 'coileann'. The majority of websites seem to repeat one another and have confused not only Irish surnames and their origins, but also confused Cullen with Scottish first names such as Colin. This seems mainly an American phenomenon, where Irish surnames have been adopted as first names. So regarding 'sources'... It has become somewhat of a bug bear for many of us to see websites get what Irish scholars and Irish Cullens know wrong...we Wicklow Cullens should know and i hope you can correct the page 😉.

It is unhelpful to specify Portland as the largest city by population in Oregon since it is the largest in every other measure as well. There is no measure by which it is not the largest. By later saying that it is the third highest population in the region after Vancouver and Seattle, all of the information is available to know with certainty that there cannot be any other city in Oregon with larger population, and thus the first sentence's "largest" statement must at least be valid for population but probably by other measures as well (which is true). If we add "by population" to the first sentence, it implies that it is not the largest by other measures, which would be false. I returned it to just saying "the largest" without the qualifier. The current version has no ambiguity whatsoever and reads clearly to anyone. I'm just writing to you to explain thoroughly and avoid back and forth editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Backfromquadrangle ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi! So, I wanted to explain why I made the changes on Keegan Allen's page. Is known that he was born in California, so I went to the California Birth Index online page, and I searched for Keegan Allen, but there wasn't a Keegan Allen born in 1989. If you search for Keegan Allen in the C.B.I. , the only Keegan's you're gonna found is a Keegan born in 1984 and in 1987, so I assumed it was the Keegan born in 1987, because Keegan's mom last name is Snyder, and this Keegan's mom last name (born in 1987 - on the California Birth Index) is Snyder.

A tag has been placed on File:Kevin Metheny WNBC 1980.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

General Amos Dwpaul, I am a new user and apologize for deleting text; I now better understand how to contribute. Sir, as is evident by tampering with tampering of General Amos' "call sign" to the point of "locking it down" to prevent further vandalism, there are Wiki editors with a personal agenda to contribute one-sided allegations from news papers without providing the response from Marine officials, making the appearance that these claims are fact. I struggle with Wikipedia as being credible when such contributions are not controlled for. Are all "national inquirer" style claims allowed just because they have "sources" referring to a news paper? The vast majority of claims at the end of the General Amos' career were stated as false/dismissed/never proven true by Marine and Gov't Officials. If Wiki community do not take into a account the "outcome" of these allegations, then the value of Wikipedia is to defame and slander Biographies of Living Individuals by the contributors with the greatest will power to continue contributing one sided allegations. It's an endless cycle of cat and mouse.
I ask that you help me to not allow General Amos' Living Biography be a sounding board for critics of his career. Two of General Amos' biggest contributions that are currently not in his Wiki page are: - recognition of African American Mumford Point Marines (see article "70 years gone, Montford Point Marines get their due" @ http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/06/27/153874/70-years-gone-montford-point-marines.html) & - integration of women in combat ( http://www.businessinsider.com/marine-corps-women-combat-positions-2014-3)
Sir, the previous two references are real contributions of General Amos. Currently, in his Wiki Page, items like "allegations of abuse of power" were proven 100% unsubstantiated by the US Inspector General" - so why are they still presented as fact? All similar allegations should be reorganized on his Wiki to downplay their importance during his career. The US Marine Corp will not further address the claims "that he padded his resume" further than beyond what they already provided. Allegations were made - Marines dismissed allegations by justifying what occurred. Simple as that. Therefore, in my mind, these allegations should be removed or at least reported balanced on his Wiki.
Thank you for reading this. I am sorry to have rambled. I hope you can understand my comments and can help to revise General Amos' living bio on Wiki.
Any advice you have is appreciated.
Lastly, I am happy to add the "Mumford Point Marines" and "integration of women in combat" career highlights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usa usa 123 ( talk • contribs) 12:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

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.

Hey. Please don't just remove dead links from articles as you did in this edit. Either replace the dead link with a live one, add a link to an archived version of the original link, or replace the cited source with another source that includes the same information. When you just remove the link, it makes it harder for other editors to fix it in the future. Thanks! — Mr. Granger ( talk · contribs) 04:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Forrest S. Mozer ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Hello Dwpaul,
I received a message from you that we edited Forrest Mozer's wiki page but did not cite a reliable source. The source is our company, Sensory Inc. Forrest Mozer and his son, Todd, who is currently the CEO, are founders of the company. I am the marketing communications manager for the company. If you need any further "reliable" sources please let me know, but I don't know who could be more reliable than the actual company that he founded.

Hi...regarding unsourced material...firstly the existing page for Cullen does not cite any proof for the connection with other surnames, nor its origins, or where the information was obtained...just a map showing former distribution of the name in Ireland and a claim it MAY be linked to Cullinane. Secondly, my surname is Cullen and i live in the Wicklow mountains...the heartland of this name for centuries. It is well known here that the name derives from the Irish for holly tree 'cuileann'. Wicklow and surrounding counties are still the stronghold for my surname and place names associated with it. The other surnames are virtually unknown in this part of Ireland and their similarity is probably coincidental.. their origins being from similar sounding Irish Gaelic words. Cullinane for example may have derived from 'cuil an abhainn', Collins from 'coileann'. The majority of websites seem to repeat one another and have confused not only Irish surnames and their origins, but also confused Cullen with Scottish first names such as Colin. This seems mainly an American phenomenon, where Irish surnames have been adopted as first names. So regarding 'sources'... It has become somewhat of a bug bear for many of us to see websites get what Irish scholars and Irish Cullens know wrong...we Wicklow Cullens should know and i hope you can correct the page 😉. Many thanks Ollie Cullen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wwireland ( talk • contribs) 07:39, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
It is unhelpful to specify Portland as the largest city by population in Oregon since it is the largest in every other measure as well. There is no measure by which it is not the largest. By later saying that it is the third highest population in the region after Vancouver and Seattle, all of the information is available to know with certainty that there cannot be any other city in Oregon with larger population, and thus the first sentence's "largest" statement must at least be valid for population but probably by other measures as well (which is true). If we add "by population" to the first sentence, it implies that it is not the largest by other measures, which would be false. I returned it to just saying "the largest" without the qualifier. The current version has no ambiguity whatsoever and reads clearly to anyone. I'm just writing to you to explain thoroughly and avoid back and forth editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Backfromquadrangle ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi! So, I wanted to explain why I made the changes on Keegan Allen's page. Is known that he was born in California, so I went to the California Birth Index online page, and I searched for Keegan Allen, but there wasn't a Keegan Allen born in 1989. If you search for Keegan Allen in the C.B.I. , the only Keegan's you're gonna found is a Keegan born in 1984 and in 1987, so I assumed it was the Keegan born in 1987, because Keegan's mom last name is Snyder, and this Keegan's mom last name (born in 1987 - on the California Birth Index) is Snyder.

You deleted my addition of an external link on the Data Migration page. There were already external links there, and I simply added another. I can understand why you deleted my link from the Data Conversion page because there was not already a section for external links, but I don't understand what was inappropriate about my addition of a link on the Data Migration page. Why was my link to Kofile Conversion Services not appropriate when others are allowed?

A tag has been placed on File:Kevin Metheny WNBC 1980.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You just removed a video library link for Enneagram types, quoting policy of "links normally to be avoided" and that this is a "forum". The link I provided includes a lot of high quality information that is specifically relevant to the topic at hand and includes content from a number of notable industry experts. It is not from an interactive portion of that forum. Have you reviewed any of the content? That fact that this video wiki is contained within a discussion forum shouldn't eliminate it as a credible reference.

General Amos Dwpaul, I am a new user and apologize for deleting text; I now better understand how to contribute. Sir, as is evident by tampering with tampering of General Amos' "call sign" to the point of "locking it down" to prevent further vandalism, there are Wiki editors with a personal agenda to contribute one-sided allegations from news papers without providing the response from Marine officials, making the appearance that these claims are fact. I struggle with Wikipedia as being credible when such contributions are not controlled for. Are all "national inquirer" style claims allowed just because they have "sources" referring to a news paper? The vast majority of claims at the end of the General Amos' career were stated as false/dismissed/never proven true by Marine and Gov't Officials. If Wiki community do not take into a account the "outcome" of these allegations, then the value of Wikipedia is to defame and slander Biographies of Living Individuals by the contributors with the greatest will power to continue contributing one sided allegations. It's an endless cycle of cat and mouse.
I ask that you help me to not allow General Amos' Living Biography be a sounding board for critics of his career. Two of General Amos' biggest contributions that are currently not in his Wiki page are: - recognition of African American Mumford Point Marines (see article "70 years gone, Montford Point Marines get their due" @ http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/06/27/153874/70-years-gone-montford-point-marines.html) & - integration of women in combat ( http://www.businessinsider.com/marine-corps-women-combat-positions-2014-3)
Sir, the previous two references are real contributions of General Amos. Currently, in his Wiki Page, items like "allegations of abuse of power" were proven 100% unsubstantiated by the US Inspector General" - so why are they still presented as fact? All similar allegations should be reorganized on his Wiki to downplay their importance during his career. The US Marine Corp will not further address the claims "that he padded his resume" further than beyond what they already provided. Allegations were made - Marines dismissed allegations by justifying what occurred. Simple as that. Therefore, in my mind, these allegations should be removed or at least reported balanced on his Wiki.
Thank you for reading this. I am sorry to have rambled. I hope you can understand my comments and can help to revise General Amos' living bio on Wiki.
Any advice you have is appreciated.
Lastly, I am happy to add the "Mumford Point Marines" and "integration of women in combat" career highlights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Usa usa 123 ( talk • contribs) 12:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
