I think you are generally an excellent editor, but I have reverted your move with respect to Coincidence, since the meanings other than the general meaning are so limited. Obviously, I was very displeased that you made a move that created dozens of disambiguation links without immediately fixing those links. I have initiated a discussion of the topic at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Disambiguation#Coincidence. Frankly, I think we should have some measure in place requiring the disambiguation project to approve such moves in advance, as they are often contentious. Cheers! bd2412 T 17:27, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tom and Jerry (announcers) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom and Jerry (announcers) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. – Muboshgu ( talk) 17:25, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
I have not been able to locate any current Wikipedia MOS guideline on the matter, but every current style guide with which I am familiar encourages the silent change of case in quotations where grammatically called for, except for (a) as you note, in legal contexts and (b) when the source is a historical document in which many words other than proper nouns are capitalized. Obviously, neither exception applies to reviews of House.— DCGeist ( talk) 22:08, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
The article Beth Nugent has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. j⚛e decker talk 03:46, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Local Management Interface, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DEC ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

While I recognize your point about the way that particular episode is worded, I don't see how bombarding it with unreferenced/dubious tags is going to improve it. If you're not going to change itself, the best thing to do is open a discussion on it on the talk page - and maybe use tag if it's really needed, but otherwise the talk page is best. Also, keep in mind that plot summaries for episodes that have already aired do not need to be sourced, technically.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Davejohnsan ( talk • contribs) 08:38, 8 September 2012

Contrary to your apparent understanding,
and i thot it was clear that i think that (1) it is wrong and (2) trying to give you a simple reason for that without the appropriate research and explication would be counterproductive.
Much as you perhaps would like to believe it, it is not the case that understanding your assertion is sufficient to make me agree with it. Stop repeating the same assertion and the same question, and wait for my reply instead of trying to force to give you the reply you want.Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

Greetings,
Following your post on my talk page, first I want to thank you for the compliment on my edit to the Orion Nebula talk page. I did not see it as so groundbreaking, if I might say so.
However, I have to say that I do not understand exactly what you want from me. I read the link you gave me about "anchor other than an explicit section title," but I have to say I do not get it. What do you want to do exactly? The way I see it, you want to edit the Orion Nebula page by adding a paragraph saying that we count time past as if neglecting distances, and that is fine with me. The paragraph you have written on my talk page is good… except for the "citation needed" parts of course! ;-)
While I am indeed a member of a few WikiProjects, I do not participate actively in any of them, and I even have stopped looking at the updates since… hmm… too long ago to mention! Maybe someone else would be better than me for sparking interest there (or anywhere else for that matter). I simply have too many things to do in my (rare) free time: I translate texts to French for the University of Arizona site on the HiRISE experiment on Mars; I do some translations for Southern Stars (makers of SkySafari etc.); I do the graphic design for a seasonal newsletter for the Fédération des astronomes amateurs du Québec (Québec amateur astronomers federation); I also am Secretary of the board of that federation; and finally, I am "The Guy in Charge" for a free French-language PDF magazine about astronomy, called Astronomie-Québec [1]. Sorry, but no more time for Wikipedia! :-(
I wish you find the help you look for, and remain available for advise if needed.
Best regards,

A tag has been placed on Jonathon Wendell 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.

Thank you for trying to improve the Dab page
Izumo. I am reverting your edits without discussing your summary comments individually, bcz you repeatedly changed entries with a blue link to add additional blue links in violation of the first few paragraphs of
MOS:DABENTRY, and a number of your comments suggest that in general you were editing under the mistaken notion that a Dab is just a boring multitopic article.
As
WP:DAB and
MOS:DAB make clear in great detail, a Dab is not an article at all, but merely a navigational device with the sole purpose of minimizing the frustration of users who have arrived at a page that is not an article on their topic of interest, because their reasonable hope about the title of the article covering that topic is either
WP articles give information on their respective topics (and usually the more the better, to such an extent that we'll subdivide the topic into several articles when the amount of info at one page becomes ungainly). A dab "enriched" with any unnecessary information is like a
red hexagonal sign reading "If you are in a vehicle, you are legally, morally, and for your own safety hereby required to bring your vehicle to a halt before any part of it reaches the intersection close beyond this sign, and.... If you are not in a vehicle ...."
I will not at all be surprised if, after due attention to the official guidelines i've mentioned, you have some good ideas for improving this Dab, but for the moment you are too far off for me to efficiently separate such wheat from the chaff. If you find difficulty seeing how the guidelines apply to
Izumo or other Dabs,
WT:MOSDAB is a good place to get feedback from old hands. If you have a specific "why not do X with
Izumo" question, don't rule our asking me at my user-talk page. (And i'll also watch your talk page for a week or so in case you respond to my message immediately following in this same section; it's usually good to keep a 2-way discussion in one place.)
Thanks for reading this long comment, and thank you for showing interest in WP editing.

Hi,
Do you mind me prodding this? I can't see that there is anything here that can't be covered in A.W.F. Edwards and John H. Edwards respectively, and I can't really find sources covering both of them. So just a structure thing, mostly. Barney the barney barney ( talk) 19:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Radio shows based on Nero Wolfe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Thank you for trying to improve the Dab page
Izumo. I am reverting your edits without discussing your summary comments individually, bcz you repeatedly changed entries with a blue link to add additional blue links in violation of the first few paragraphs of
MOS:DABENTRY, and a number of your comments suggest that in general you were editing under the mistaken notion that a Dab is just a boring multitopic article.
As
WP:DAB and
MOS:DAB make clear in great detail, a Dab is not an article at all, but merely a navigational device with the sole purpose of minimizing the frustration of users who have arrived at a page that is not an article on their topic of interest, because their reasonable hope about the title of the article covering that topic is either
WP articles give information on their respective topics (and usually the more the better, to such an extent that we'll subdivide the topic into several articles when the amount of info at one page becomes ungainly). A dab "enriched" with any unnecessary information is like a
red hexagonal sign reading "If you are in a vehicle, you are legally, morally, and for your own safety hereby required to bring your vehicle to a halt before any part of it reaches the intersection close beyond this sign, and.... If you are not in a vehicle ...."
I will not at all be surprised if, after due attention to the official guidelines i've mentioned, you have some good ideas for improving this Dab, but for the moment you are too far off for me to efficiently separate such wheat from the chaff. If you find difficulty seeing how the guidelines apply to
Izumo or other Dabs,
WT:MOSDAB is a good place to get feedback from old hands. If you have a specific "why not do X with
Izumo" question, don't rule our asking me at my user-talk page. (And i'll also watch your talk page for a week or so in case you respond to my message immediately following in this same section; it's usually good to keep a 2-way discussion in one place.)
Thanks for reading this long comment, and thank you for showing interest in WP editing.
