No, it is my fault for using the word "Dude." I never thought it would consider an insult when I typed it. Thanks for the compliment for the Amarillo, Texas article. :-) The Amarillo article copied a lot of ideas from featured city articles such as Boston, Massachusetts and especially Ann Arbor, Michigan consider the population of that city is about the same as Amarillo's.
Oprah was mentioned in the Amarillo article until I spinned it off into a different article but now it seems some people wanted it merge it back. Oprah will be back in the main article but without the bullets/list sometime this week. -- J. Nguyen 01:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you like the changes, I'm going to add a Weapons List similar to the gear one I just put in as well. (I found the template for the sexy sidebar list on the Bath School disaster article, v. good article I read today because it's the featured one). There's a troll or two that pop up and complain about any changes to the Whitman article, but hopefully we've seen the last of them. As per your part, I know there exist quite a few "Before" photographs of Whitman as a normal man, honeymooning with his wife, etcetera. I'd love to see those incorporated into the article.

I've noticed your outstanding work on some species of sharks. I don't know whether you have noticed the tremendous disparity in quality in respect to articles on individual shark species. Some articles like Oceanic Whitetip Shark (which both of us have worked on) and Great White Shark are top-drawer - examples of first-class effort by the Wikicommunity.
The two above-referenced articles are in great need of improvement. Bull shark, in particular, is pathetic. --Hokeman 18:12, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments regarding the Tom Petty article! I think it still needs a bit of a clearup to make it a really nice article, though, so I may take some time out to organise it a bit. Phileas 02:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Apropos of my having added the categories to the article so quickly, I often monitor new page creations, mainly in order to nominate for speedy deletion such articles as are wholly unencyclopedic but also in order to try to save pages that might otherwise be considered for deletion (e.g., because they provide insufficient context or insufficient evidence of notability). In the case of the Ebsen article, you created a fine article (one is always so happy to find editors who compose articles prior to their creating them) and I thought I'd add the categories while I had the chance. Finally, thanks for the article itself; I learned a few things... Joe 05:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I can't take credit for that shot -- I found it at Wikimedia Commons when I was cleaning up the Prince Edward Island category there. You should consider uploading your photography to Commons (the PEI coverage is pretty sparse) if you don't mind licensing it under a free license. Even if you have an image that is almost exactly the same, it is always good for editors to have options. Jkelly 00:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words - it's good to know that one's work is appreciated :) Regarding categories I direct you to the CatTree - it gives a fairly good overview of categories and the option of searching for them. If you need help with anything please let me know - have a good day. Gardar Rurak 07:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I was trying to figure out how to correctly alphabetize some of the names on the Category: Accidents and incidents in general aviation page. By way of illustration Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, J.P. Richardson and Richie Valens are showing up under "C", "J" and "R" respectively rather than the first letter of their last names. Since you are a senior Wikipedian and major contributor to this page, I thought maybe you could show me. Thanks -- Hokeman 17:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, there are lots of problems in the article. In fact, most of the article is in the process of being rewritten. Thanks for keeping an eye out. I'll make a temporary change to the lead section to reconcile the problem you describe. — Viriditas | Talk 05:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I checked out your Jeff Sluman article like you suggested. I just tweaked the referencing a little. It is the convention in Wikipedia to call the notes section "References", and if there is a references section, it is best to show more information about each reference in that section than just its number. Incidentally, I added most of the tables of results in major championships that you will see in golfers' articles. If you are interested in doing any there is a blank proforma on my user page that you can copy and the easiest place to get the data is golfonline.com (see "golfstats", which is item 6 on the menu on the left of the site.) As it only has full PGA Championship results from 1958, I only do players who were born after about 1935, though I made an exception for Arnold Palmer. Hawkestone 16:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Please stop changing the birthplace on the Burt Reynolds page. He was born in Waycross, Georgia not in Michigan. The first time you did it, I didn't say anything because years ago some tabloid – like the Weekly World News – did print a story years ago that he was born to alien parents in Lansing, Michigan or some idiotic thing like that. If you don't believe me, the web is a big place, check it out for yourself, but I'm here to tell you that Waycross, Georgia is accurate.-- Hokeman 02:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand why you still continue to change his birthplace from Lansing, Michigan to Waycross, Georgia. Are you from Georgia? I've sited my sources thoroughly. What are your sources? Other than websites, that have no sources themselves. I can find just as many that say Lansing too. I guess if people tell lies often enough, you hope others will believe them as truth. See Truthiness. Please Stop!!! Lugnut215 19:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words about my golf pages. The primary resource I have used for PGA/Nationwide related is just pgatour.com. It has a list of winners for each tournament, but is kind of low in the stats department. I've been searching for sites like this myself, so I'll let you know if I find any of interest. Thanks again, and happy editing! :D DakPow e rs ( Talk) 21:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Good to see you are still creating golf articles, but please don't copy the PGA Tour's heading of "International". What is domestic and what is "international" depends on where you are and what nationality you are. The PGA Tour site is U.S. centric, but Wikipedia shouldn't be. Also it should be noted that the pgatour.com is not very reliable in this regard - Dudley Hart's international win took place in Georgia, USA. Osomec 15:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
If you are curious, what Charles did was to move the article J.C. Snead to J. C. Snead. When you move a page, a redirect is automatically created in place of the old article. And you're right: since it is likely that someone will mispell the name that way, that redirect is useful. - Liberatore( T) 16:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
The link I provided on my edit summary for that should explain that the record is broken, although I'm fairly sure there are even longer drives than that on record, just toggle the years to figure out. Burgwerworldz 02:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The reason I removed it from the top list is because I followed what the scientists at the ISAF said. Under normal circumstances the Oceanic whitetip would be a bit less dangerous that the tiger, bull and great white, but you brought up a good point about the WII disasters. I think we should give the Oceanic whitetip its own paragraph and I have started a topic on the Shark Attack discussion page to see what other think. Janderk 17:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
I have wanted to start a project with the purpose to improve our shark related articles for a long time, but never though we had enough people, now after all the nice collaboration on the Shark attack page I must take the chance of inviting you to try to start up a project sharks. I have had the preliminary writeup on my user page for a long time, please visit, update and edit as you see fit and I hope that you will consider joining. I do not have as much time for wikipedia as I would like to and the next 2-3 weeks will be almost no time, but I still try to get this project running, please join and please invite as many others as you know that might be interested. Thanks Stefan 14:08, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Looks like he won the:
1988 Northville Long Island Classic
1988 GTE Kaanapali Classic
1989 The Tradition at Desert Mountain
1989 Murata Seniors Reunion
1989 Dupont Cup Japan vs US Senior Golf Match (not an official Champions Tour event)
1989 GTE Kaanapali Classic
1990 Chrysler Cup (not an official Champions Tour event)
1992 PaineWebber Invitational
1995 Raley's Senior Gold Rush
And it looks like now he only plays in the Legends of Golf. Hope this helps, PGATOUR.com is my main resource. Happy editing, and great work! :) – DakPow e rs ( Talk) 23:12, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for sharing your ideas with me. I wouldn't create a template of famous people from East Texas, as unintigrated text is not viewed favorably by reviewers of good and featured articles. I think adding a paragraph about music in the Culture sectioon which mentions Janis Jopilin would be better. As for the mention of the Columbia tragedy a sentence in the history section would be nice. Again, thanks for your ideas. - JCarriker 13:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
We are trying to get Oceanic whitetip shark to FA status, please review and update. Thanks! Stefan 03:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Stefan, I have been trying to send you a response for days and days; however, the AOL IP's that I have been on have been steadily blocked. I am ready to jump into the shark project, and have started doing some research for a page on the Galapagos shark. I will also review Oceanic whitetip shark as you asked. I wholeheartedly agree that we shark editors should try to get at least one of our articles featured (and I wholeheartedly agree that Oceanic whitetip is the right one) - so it will serve as a "model of excellence" for other shark pages.--Hokeman 15:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
As every little helps: If you have the Cousteau book The Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea could you add the page number to the reference where he says they are the most dangerous shark. From the history it looks to me like you originally added that and I don't have the book here to look up the page. Cheers Yomangani 15:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

This sounds like a great idea, and I'd love to contribute, but school and work are taking up all of my time at the moment.

Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 22:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, thanks for the appreciation. I think overall you're doing a great job with the articles, I just had a problem with some of the "golfer's best season was" because although you're probably correct in terms of wins and money, but maybe the golfer feels different for some reason. It's just best to document the highlights without saying its the best. Keep up the good work. 69.209.105.235 04:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I've added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I appreciated some of the positive changes; however, i reverted because I felt some edits weren't w/in style manual and consistent. First, as I understand it, Wikipedia generally avoids over-wikilinking, esp. wikilinking every time a year is referenced. See the following:
"Wikipedia has articles on days of the year, years, decades, centuries and millennia. Link to one of these pages only if it is likely to deepen readers' understanding of a topic."
(from Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Autoformatting_and_linking)
Also, you capitalized presidential, which I am sure should not be capitalized (unless it was the formal name of the committee, which it wasn't). See the following, which is the closest I could come:
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Titles
Presidential would not be capitalized in any style manual that I know, but I would welcome to be proven wrong.
From my knowledge, reelection is the preferred word, without the hyphen. If you know otherwise, pls. let me know. Thanks!
Finally, I felt adding that Carter's presidential campaign was unsuccessful was an unnecessary addition. We all know Carter didn't win reelection. If you're going to add that, then why don't you add the adjective for all the other elections mentioned in the bio, including the successful ones? And are you going around and adding the adjective on other articles? Comments welcome. Journalist1983 18:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Again, thanks for good work. Journalist1983 00:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
not sure how deep your interest/expertise in politics runs, but there is an article re political realignment i thought was a bit tortuous. if this is up your alley, would welcome your comments sometime -- does the article merit an entry at all? If so, should it just be short and simple, explaining the concept and letting others argue about the specifics and merits? Does it just need some better citations? Or am I being too picky and the article is fine? I recently made some edits to clean up, but I still think it needs work. Comments welcome. Journalist1983 18:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC).
Sorry. Should have linked. Click on wikilink above. Journalist1983 23:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Hokeman
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the
talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future.

A tag has been placed on Steven Knight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

When I saw your edit I thought to revert it but after further cogitation I decided to simplify the sentence. I can't find the street address of Pencil Pines but Muir clearly states that it was in Coconut Grove. Actually, at that time it was outside the legal boundary of the Grove, but the residents said they lived in the Grove. I'm guessing this was because they were served by the Coconut Grove post office. Anyway, the homes near Pencil Pines were actually in an unincorpoated part of the county that later was absorbed by the city of South Miami. So for simplicity's sake let's just say he lived in South Miami. A more famous example of this is Fairchild Tropical Garden. Its early publicity material said it too was located in Coconut Grove. Nowadays it says it is in Coral Gables.-- GroveGuy ( talk) 02:43, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello Hokeman! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 874 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hello Hokeman, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 19:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 16:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Notice you are very active - Would you mind reviewing Rabbi Pinto page ? A major feature story ran on Rabbi Pinto, the largest story ever written about him and the few editors who control the board didnt allow neutral entrees to be placed. Need assistance from curious non interested parties.
The article was syndicated and picked up by Globes a major Israeli paper, The Real Deal a major NYC real estate publication and Vos Iz Neas Religious news service but entire chunks of article werent included. Can we have new eyes please ?
Would suggest adding: "Considerable questions have risen regarding Pinto’s organizations finances. A report by a leading New York Jewish newspaper has revealed a “contrast between the rabbi’s lifestyle and his reputation for modest living, and questions about the rabbi’s image as a business guru when his own not-for-profit faces financial problems.” The Forward stated: “The business troubles at Mosdot Shuva Israel could be seen as ironic, given Rabbi Pinto’s reputation as an adviser to businessmen, and particularly to real estate brokers.” 65.112.21.194 ( talk) 13:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I've been following it closely. He will reverse vandalism but almost never catches factual mistakes in articles. In fact, when people came along and put in wrong info, he's validated it by neatening up the wrong edits but not taking out the incorrect info. He's done this regularly. Check these ones out. [2] [3] I didn't know it is 2015 already. Do you?
His nitpicking and two faced edits of work I put into articles is gotten to be too much. He's not letting up on me and I'm not on him. When he screws up, I'm going to point it out. He'll change capitalization of a headline but not stuff like Dave Stockton making birdie at the 72nd hole of the 1976 PGA Championship and other things I can go on and on with.- William 18:20, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
In a edit [4] you did to Buddy Allin some time ago. That blogger has twice been credentialed [5] to cover LPGA tournaments before the ladies tour put a formal blogger policy in place. You don't know what a pain it was to get credentialed. A couple of helpful local golf writers had to lend a hand. I heard that blogger edits at wikipedia [6] too.
Too bad the LPGA doesn't come to Palm Beach County right now otherwise that blogger would get another opportunity to write about the tour live and on site.- William 12:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Johnny Miller- Golf's George O'Leary(The Notre Dame coach who got caught padding his resume)
The book is also full of mistakes besides the lie.
1- Lee Janzen won the 1993 US Open not 1994 2- Sevriano Ballesteros won 6 not 3 US PGA Tour titles. 3- Ed Fiori did not beat Tiger Woods in a playoff at the 1996 Quad Cities tournament. Woods finished fourth. 4- Valderama has NOT hosted ’several’ Ryder Cups. It hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup only. 5- Tiger Woods is said to have shot 16 under for the 2000 US Open at Pebble Beach. Woods shot 12 under, its even stated he did so on the previous page! 6- Ernie Els bogeied the first hole of the 1994 US Open Playoff, not make a par. Miller compounds this mistake by saying Els who got a drop on that hole may have been helped by this ‘par’. 7- Annika Sorenstam was tied for the lead not one shot back when teeing off 18 at the 2003 US Open. 8- Craig Stadler’s disqualification for kneeling on a towel in a San Diego tournament happened in 1987 not 1983. 9- Ray Floyd lost the 1990 not 1989 Masters in a playoff to Nick Faldo. 10- Gary Player’s first major championship was the 1959 British Open not the 1959 Masters. 11- Tom Watson won five British Opens(75,77,80, 82, 83) not six 12- Jack Nicklaus started the final round of 1986 Masters 4 back, not 6 back.
13- Tom Watson did not win 2 AT&T championships at Pebble Beach. The tournament was the Bing Crosby Pro-am and not sponsored by AT&T when Watson won there in 1977 and 1978.I loved the one about the Fiori-Woods playoff. Anyone slightly familar with Woods knows that Billy Mayfair is the only one ever to beat him in a playoff for a PGA Tour title.- William 21:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

You edited into the article a confrontation that supposedly happened. I found the source for it too. The trouble is, it sounds like a tall tale to me. I base it on this article I found.
There was controversy in the match but if tempers flared like somebody wrote over 30 years later, wouldn't you think some of it would have been conveyed in an article written at the time.
Dave Hill, who had a temper(He filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in 1971 after he was fined) and a sharp tongue, said "we didn't understand the rules. It's that simple."
Sometime ago I made an edit [7] to Lee Elder's article that took out material that came from an Elder interview that didn't match up with what he said and was reported at the time. A post I made to the Elder talk page gives my rational for what i dd
Please give me your input. I will check back here for a reply.- William 21:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
The former PGA Tour events template is getting large. I'd just let what the guy did pass.
I did edit the articles for Dave Hill and Ken Still. They are living people and with stories not matching up, I went for neutral on the whole thing.
Golf article rubbish of the month- Take a look at this edit [8] on the 1955 US Open. Jack Fleck did not come back from nine shots. He was 3 back at the 54-hole mark, in fact he was tied with Hogan going into Saturday(Remember the Open used to end with 36 holes on Saturday back then) The reference [9] the nutty editor gave for the 9-shot deficit makes no mention of Fleck either.
What I got a sneaking suspicion happened was somebody mistook Jack Burke Jr. 8-shot(Not 9, Venturi lost by one. Burke shot 71, Venturi 80.) comeback at the 57 Masters for Fleck.- William 02:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

No, it is my fault for using the word "Dude." I never thought it would consider an insult when I typed it. Thanks for the compliment for the Amarillo, Texas article. :-) The Amarillo article copied a lot of ideas from featured city articles such as Boston, Massachusetts and especially Ann Arbor, Michigan consider the population of that city is about the same as Amarillo's.
Oprah was mentioned in the Amarillo article until I spinned it off into a different article but now it seems some people wanted it merge it back. Oprah will be back in the main article but without the bullets/list sometime this week. -- J. Nguyen 01:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad you like the changes, I'm going to add a Weapons List similar to the gear one I just put in as well. (I found the template for the sexy sidebar list on the Bath School disaster article, v. good article I read today because it's the featured one). There's a troll or two that pop up and complain about any changes to the Whitman article, but hopefully we've seen the last of them. As per your part, I know there exist quite a few "Before" photographs of Whitman as a normal man, honeymooning with his wife, etcetera. I'd love to see those incorporated into the article. Sherurcij ( talk) ( Terrorist Wikiproject) 05:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
I've noticed your outstanding work on some species of sharks. I don't know whether you have noticed the tremendous disparity in quality in respect to articles on individual shark species. Some articles like Oceanic Whitetip Shark (which both of us have worked on) and Great White Shark are top-drawer - examples of first-class effort by the Wikicommunity.
The two above-referenced articles are in great need of improvement. Bull shark, in particular, is pathetic. --Hokeman 18:12, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments regarding the Tom Petty article! I think it still needs a bit of a clearup to make it a really nice article, though, so I may take some time out to organise it a bit. Phileas 02:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Apropos of my having added the categories to the article so quickly, I often monitor new page creations, mainly in order to nominate for speedy deletion such articles as are wholly unencyclopedic but also in order to try to save pages that might otherwise be considered for deletion (e.g., because they provide insufficient context or insufficient evidence of notability). In the case of the Ebsen article, you created a fine article (one is always so happy to find editors who compose articles prior to their creating them) and I thought I'd add the categories while I had the chance. Finally, thanks for the article itself; I learned a few things... Joe 05:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
I can't take credit for that shot -- I found it at Wikimedia Commons when I was cleaning up the Prince Edward Island category there. You should consider uploading your photography to Commons (the PEI coverage is pretty sparse) if you don't mind licensing it under a free license. Even if you have an image that is almost exactly the same, it is always good for editors to have options. Jkelly 00:37, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your kind words - it's good to know that one's work is appreciated :) Regarding categories I direct you to the CatTree - it gives a fairly good overview of categories and the option of searching for them. If you need help with anything please let me know - have a good day. Gardar Rurak 07:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I was trying to figure out how to correctly alphabetize some of the names on the Category: Accidents and incidents in general aviation page. By way of illustration Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, J.P. Richardson and Richie Valens are showing up under "C", "J" and "R" respectively rather than the first letter of their last names. Since you are a senior Wikipedian and major contributor to this page, I thought maybe you could show me. Thanks -- Hokeman 17:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, there are lots of problems in the article. In fact, most of the article is in the process of being rewritten. Thanks for keeping an eye out. I'll make a temporary change to the lead section to reconcile the problem you describe. — Viriditas | Talk 05:12, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
I checked out your Jeff Sluman article like you suggested. I just tweaked the referencing a little. It is the convention in Wikipedia to call the notes section "References", and if there is a references section, it is best to show more information about each reference in that section than just its number. Incidentally, I added most of the tables of results in major championships that you will see in golfers' articles. If you are interested in doing any there is a blank proforma on my user page that you can copy and the easiest place to get the data is golfonline.com (see "golfstats", which is item 6 on the menu on the left of the site.) As it only has full PGA Championship results from 1958, I only do players who were born after about 1935, though I made an exception for Arnold Palmer. Hawkestone 16:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Please stop changing the birthplace on the Burt Reynolds page. He was born in Waycross, Georgia not in Michigan. The first time you did it, I didn't say anything because years ago some tabloid – like the Weekly World News – did print a story years ago that he was born to alien parents in Lansing, Michigan or some idiotic thing like that. If you don't believe me, the web is a big place, check it out for yourself, but I'm here to tell you that Waycross, Georgia is accurate.-- Hokeman 02:39, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
I don't understand why you still continue to change his birthplace from Lansing, Michigan to Waycross, Georgia. Are you from Georgia? I've sited my sources thoroughly. What are your sources? Other than websites, that have no sources themselves. I can find just as many that say Lansing too. I guess if people tell lies often enough, you hope others will believe them as truth. See Truthiness. Please Stop!!! Lugnut215 19:54, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words about my golf pages. The primary resource I have used for PGA/Nationwide related is just pgatour.com. It has a list of winners for each tournament, but is kind of low in the stats department. I've been searching for sites like this myself, so I'll let you know if I find any of interest. Thanks again, and happy editing! :D DakPow e rs ( Talk) 21:17, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Good to see you are still creating golf articles, but please don't copy the PGA Tour's heading of "International". What is domestic and what is "international" depends on where you are and what nationality you are. The PGA Tour site is U.S. centric, but Wikipedia shouldn't be. Also it should be noted that the pgatour.com is not very reliable in this regard - Dudley Hart's international win took place in Georgia, USA. Osomec 15:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
If you are curious, what Charles did was to move the article J.C. Snead to J. C. Snead. When you move a page, a redirect is automatically created in place of the old article. And you're right: since it is likely that someone will mispell the name that way, that redirect is useful. - Liberatore( T) 16:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
The link I provided on my edit summary for that should explain that the record is broken, although I'm fairly sure there are even longer drives than that on record, just toggle the years to figure out. Burgwerworldz 02:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The reason I removed it from the top list is because I followed what the scientists at the ISAF said. Under normal circumstances the Oceanic whitetip would be a bit less dangerous that the tiger, bull and great white, but you brought up a good point about the WII disasters. I think we should give the Oceanic whitetip its own paragraph and I have started a topic on the Shark Attack discussion page to see what other think. Janderk 17:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
I have wanted to start a project with the purpose to improve our shark related articles for a long time, but never though we had enough people, now after all the nice collaboration on the Shark attack page I must take the chance of inviting you to try to start up a project sharks. I have had the preliminary writeup on my user page for a long time, please visit, update and edit as you see fit and I hope that you will consider joining. I do not have as much time for wikipedia as I would like to and the next 2-3 weeks will be almost no time, but I still try to get this project running, please join and please invite as many others as you know that might be interested.

1989 GTE Kaanapali Classic
1990 Chrysler Cup (not an official Champions Tour event)
1992 PaineWebber Invitational
1995 Raley's Senior Gold Rush

Thanks for sharing your ideas with me. I wouldn't create a template of famous people from East Texas, as unintigrated text is not viewed favorably by reviewers of good and featured articles. I think adding a paragraph about music in the Culture sectioon which mentions Janis Jopilin would be better. As for the mention of the Columbia tragedy a sentence in the history section would be nice. Again, thanks for your ideas. - JCarriker 13:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi!
We are trying to get Oceanic whitetip shark to FA status, please review and update. Thanks! Stefan 03:09, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Stefan, I have been trying to send you a response for days and days; however, the AOL IP's that I have been on have been steadily blocked. I am ready to jump into the shark project, and have started doing some research for a page on the Galapagos shark. I will also review Oceanic whitetip shark as you asked. I wholeheartedly agree that we shark editors should try to get at least one of our articles featured (and I wholeheartedly agree that Oceanic whitetip is the right one) - so it will serve as a "model of excellence" for other shark pages.--Hokeman 15:35, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
As every little helps: If you have the Cousteau book The Shark: Splendid Savage of the Sea could you add the page number to the reference where he says they are the most dangerous shark. From the history it looks to me like you originally added that and I don't have the book here to look up the page. Cheers Yomangani 15:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, thanks for the appreciation. I think overall you're doing a great job with the articles, I just had a problem with some of the "golfer's best season was" because although you're probably correct in terms of wins and money, but maybe the golfer feels different for some reason. It's just best to document the highlights without saying its the best. Keep up the good work. 69.209.105.235 04:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I've added the "{{ prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:54, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I appreciated some of the positive changes; however, i reverted because I felt some edits weren't w/in style manual and consistent. First, as I understand it, Wikipedia generally avoids over-wikilinking, esp. wikilinking every time a year is referenced. See the following:
"Wikipedia has articles on days of the year, years, decades, centuries and millennia. Link to one of these pages only if it is likely to deepen readers' understanding of a topic."
(from Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(dates_and_numbers)#Autoformatting_and_linking)
Also, you capitalized presidential, which I am sure should not be capitalized (unless it was the formal name of the committee, which it wasn't). See the following, which is the closest I could come:
Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(capital_letters)#Titles
Presidential would not be capitalized in any style manual that I know, but I would welcome to be proven wrong.
From my knowledge, reelection is the preferred word, without the hyphen. If you know otherwise, pls. let me know. Thanks!
Finally, I felt adding that Carter's presidential campaign was unsuccessful was an unnecessary addition. We all know Carter didn't win reelection. If you're going to add that, then why don't you add the adjective for all the other elections mentioned in the bio, including the successful ones? And are you going around and adding the adjective on other articles? Comments welcome. Journalist1983 18:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

not sure how deep your interest/expertise in politics runs, but there is an article re political realignment i thought was a bit tortuous. if this is up your alley, would welcome your comments sometime -- does the article merit an entry at all? If so, should it just be short and simple, explaining the concept and letting others argue about the specifics and merits? Does it just need some better citations? Or am I being too picky and the article is fine? I recently made some edits to clean up, but I still think it needs work. Comments welcome. Journalist1983 18:16, 6 September 2007 (UTC).
Sorry. Should have linked. Click on wikilink above. Journalist1983 23:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Hokeman
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the
talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future.

A tag has been placed on Steven Knight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of

When I saw your edit I thought to revert it but after further cogitation I decided to simplify the sentence. I can't find the street address of Pencil Pines but Muir clearly states that it was in Coconut Grove. Actually, at that time it was outside the legal boundary of the Grove, but the residents said they lived in the Grove. I'm guessing this was because they were served by the Coconut Grove post office. Anyway, the homes near Pencil Pines were actually in an unincorpoated part of the county that later was absorbed by the city of South Miami. So for simplicity's sake let's just say he lived in South Miami. A more famous example of this is Fairchild Tropical Garden. Its early publicity material said it too was located in Coconut Grove. Nowadays it says it is in Coral Gables.-- GroveGuy ( talk) 02:43, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Hello Hokeman, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. If you think an edit should require a reason for reverting, then don't use rollback and instead, use a manual edit summary. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 19:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. – xeno talk 16:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Notice you are very active - Would you mind reviewing Rabbi Pinto page ? A major feature story ran on Rabbi Pinto, the largest story ever written about him and the few editors who control the board didnt allow neutral entrees to be placed. Need assistance from curious non interested parties.
The article was syndicated and picked up by Globes a major Israeli paper, The Real Deal a major NYC real estate publication and Vos Iz Neas Religious news service but entire chunks of article werent included. Can we have new eyes please ?
Would suggest adding: "Considerable questions have risen regarding Pinto’s organizations finances. A report by a leading New York Jewish newspaper has revealed a “contrast between the rabbi’s lifestyle and his reputation for modest living, and questions about the rabbi’s image as a business guru when his own not-for-profit faces financial problems.” The Forward stated: “The business troubles at Mosdot Shuva Israel could be seen as ironic, given Rabbi Pinto’s reputation as an adviser to businessmen, and particularly to real estate brokers.” 65.112.21.194 ( talk) 13:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I've been following it closely. He will reverse vandalism but almost never catches factual mistakes in articles. In fact, when people came along and put in wrong info, he's validated it by neatening up the wrong edits but not taking out the incorrect info. He's done this regularly. Check these ones out. [2] [3] I didn't know it is 2015 already. Do you?
His nitpicking and two faced edits of work I put into articles is gotten to be too much. He's not letting up on me and I'm not on him. When he screws up, I'm going to point it out. He'll change capitalization of a headline but not stuff like Dave Stockton making birdie at the 72nd hole of the 1976 PGA Championship and other things I can go on and on with.- William 18:20, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
In a edit [4] you did to Buddy Allin some time ago. That blogger has twice been credentialed [5] to cover LPGA tournaments before the ladies tour put a formal blogger policy in place. You don't know what a pain it was to get credentialed. A couple of helpful local golf writers had to lend a hand. I heard that blogger edits at wikipedia [6] too.

Johnny Miller- Golf's George O'Leary(The Notre Dame coach who got caught padding his resume)
The book is also full of mistakes besides the lie.
1- Lee Janzen won the 1993 US Open not 1994 2- Sevriano Ballesteros won 6 not 3 US PGA Tour titles. 3- Ed Fiori did not beat Tiger Woods in a playoff at the 1996 Quad Cities tournament. Woods finished fourth. 4- Valderama has NOT hosted ’several’ Ryder Cups. It hosted the 1997 Ryder Cup only. 5- Tiger Woods is said to have shot 16 under for the 2000 US Open at Pebble Beach. Woods shot 12 under, its even stated he did so on the previous page! 6- Ernie Els bogeied the first hole of the 1994 US Open Playoff, not make a par. Miller compounds this mistake by saying Els who got a drop on that hole may have been helped by this ‘par’. 7- Annika Sorenstam was tied for the lead not one shot back when teeing off 18 at the 2003 US Open. 8- Craig Stadler’s disqualification for kneeling on a towel in a San Diego tournament happened in 1987 not 1983. 9- Ray Floyd lost the 1990 not 1989 Masters in a playoff to Nick Faldo. 10- Gary Player’s first major championship was the 1959 British Open not the 1959 Masters. 11- Tom Watson won five British Opens(75,77,80, 82, 83) not six 12- Jack Nicklaus started the final round of 1986 Masters 4 back, not 6 back.
13- Tom Watson did not win 2 AT&T championships at Pebble Beach. The tournament was the Bing Crosby Pro-am and not sponsored by AT&T when Watson won there in 1977 and 1978.I loved the one about the Fiori-Woods playoff. Anyone slightly familar with Woods knows that Billy Mayfair is the only one ever to beat him in a playoff for a PGA Tour title.- William 21:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

You edited into the article a confrontation that supposedly happened. I found the source for it too. The trouble is, it sounds like a tall tale to me. I base it on this article I found.
There was controversy in the match but if tempers flared like somebody wrote over 30 years later, wouldn't you think some of it would have been conveyed in an article written at the time.
Dave Hill, who had a temper(He filed an anti-trust lawsuit against the PGA Tour in 1971 after he was fined) and a sharp tongue, said "we didn't understand the rules. It's that simple."
Sometime ago I made an edit [7] to Lee Elder's article that took out material that came from an Elder interview that didn't match up with what he said and was reported at the time. A post I made to the Elder talk page gives my rational for what i dd
Please give me your input. I will check back here for a reply.- William 21:28, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
The former PGA Tour events template is getting large. I'd just let what the guy did pass.
I did edit the articles for Dave Hill and Ken Still. They are living people and with stories not matching up, I went for neutral on the whole thing.
Golf article rubbish of the month- Take a look at this edit [8] on the 1955 US Open. Jack Fleck did not come back from nine shots. He was 3 back at the 54-hole mark, in fact he was tied with Hogan going into Saturday(Remember the Open used to end with 36 holes on Saturday back then) The reference [9] the nutty editor gave for the 9-shot deficit makes no mention of Fleck either.
What I got a sneaking suspicion happened was somebody mistook Jack Burke Jr. 8-shot(Not 9, Venturi lost by one. Burke shot 71, Venturi 80.) comeback at the 57 Masters for Fleck.- William 02:28, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day ( see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:30, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
