I request your opinion on an interesting matter. Would you review and comment to a comment posted by a Single purpose account (admittedly a member of the band's management) at Talk:Needtobreathe ( this diff). Even if the website isn't very reliable, it's an interesting question about how to accommodate the request in the article since it's probably able to be found in a stronger reliable source.

Hi Walter.
I must say, I am finding my entry into wikipedia extremely frustrating.
You deleted my entry "HelpMaster" claming it was not notable. On what basis do you make this claim?
I created a page for HelpMaster, stating the facts, as something that could be built on. It too was deleted.
HelpMaster has been around longer than almost all the other products on this comparison list.
What is your motive in deleting it? Thecoffeeboss ( talk) 11:25, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
First of all, your website template needs to be fixed. I don't understand your reasoning for removing Whiteheart. It's the same as with Truth and The Gaither Vocal Band. I looked at the MOS and it says: "For individuals: groups of which he or she has been a member" He was not only a member, but a founding member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musdan77 ( talk • contribs) 2012-01-12T16:49:01
It appears (to me) that Hrafn is following me around on Wiki, seeing where I do edits and subjecting me to the same WP:Lawyering crap that he's pulled on Calvary Chapel to either do blanket deletions of whole sections of content or leave cryptic, unhelpful tags to recent additions forcing me to divine his intentions. He never adds info or does constructive edits - he simply drops hand grenades and waits for someone else to pick up the pieces. I'm not perfect. Sometimes my insertions don't meet rules or guidelines, but I'm trying to learn. However, I love to flesh things out and try to add shape and definition to pages - that's my passion. I'm also happy to fix things if pointed out, but I've stopped watching/editting two pages - one of which I've been trying to bring around for months (with little success) - because I've grown tired of his crap. Suggestions? I mean other than to man-up and stop complaining... Thanks - Ckruschke ( talk) 17:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke

Your recent editing history at David Crowder Band shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Hey Walter.
I can't say I'm a fan of the new MLS squad layout. I don't like that you struggle to fit the entire squad on the same page, meaning you're scrolling up and down too much.

My screen resolution runs at 1366 x 768. It's not too bad, but I think it's going to look pretty ugly to a lot of people. I think that's the major argument against it, but aesthetically it feels a lot weaker.

Hi I edited your section on Newsboys before I created this account. The reason I edited the Newsboys Discography was because I personally have always found it allot easier to read it using the table and seeing that most Musicians have there music is such a style made me think it was the preferable style, this is seen with even musicians who have one album. Doing the Newsboys Discography was my first attempt at a discography and I would like to thank you for helping me learn if I where to ever attempt it again.

I am half Spanish and fluent in Spanish. I can easily see if an source is reliable or not. In the case of SeaBoy (which BTW is an banned user that has reappeared with an different username, he admitted so on his talk page) recent edits on the Real Madrid page and his inclusion of the false claim of Real Madrid being the most successful in terms of domestic and international trophies, is an absurd action considering the fact that such a claim has no reason on earth.
First of all the sources are unreliable blogs/football pages that are free for all to participate in. I happen to know a writer on that page (blachereport). His name is Manuel Traquente and he is not even 18 years old. The two blogs do not include the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup which is officially recognized by FIFA and UEFA as being the predecessor of the UEFA Cup nor do they include the Copa Eva Duarte trophy, founded and organized by RFEF and regarded as the predecessor of the current Spanish Super Cup. Therefore it should not be valid as a source.
Moreover this is a wrong statement as FC Barcelona have more domestic and international trophies. And I only include trophies recognized by either RFEF (The Royal Spanish Football Federation), UEFA and FIFA.
For further explanation and proof of me being right, see the Real Madrid discussion page or the Spanish and Catalan Wikipedia pages of FC Barcelona. Both versions are using reliable sources from one of the biggest Spanish sportpapapers.
It is an untrue and biased statement that can not be proven by reliable sources therefore it must be removed.-- Crashwheelx ( talk) 16:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware of the discussions, and have already edited these pages to this end in the past and participated in the talk page discussions. I think you've been doing a good job keeping on top of them, and I almost posted on here to comment to that effect a few days ago. But the 'discussion' on this topic - particularly at Talk:Real Madrid C.F. - had descended into nonesensical name calling between a couple of editors who had ignored reasonable appeals to one of the few immutable policies of Wikipedia, the WP:NPOV. I didn't see how further discussion was going to convince them, and it looked to me like you'd given up and abandoned those pages, as you'd let the versions which make a mockery of the NPOV stay up.
I've found in the past that eventually in these situations that editors of this type either get bored or get themselves banned; it's a case of correcting the page and letting them dig their own hole. And as it goes, the better version has (touch wood) been stable for a couple of days! So don't let the trolls get you down - from what I've seen on the edit history of these pages you do a good job :) -- Pretty Green ( talk) 18:46, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Walter. I wanted to comment on the discussion on Risk-Based Testing ( talk) between yourself and talk. I think, originally, a valid point was raised for discussion. However, in reviewing the dialogue, I think the discussion has gotten very personal and emotional, and I think WP:AGF has been forgotten along the way by both parties. Reviewing your tone and choice of words, I think you have lost your neutrality and have let your feelings show through, and inadvertently contributed to escalating the problem. I think this has now gotten to the point that it puts the content at risk (no pun intended), and I'd like to plead for both parties to cease discussion until the air has cleared a little.

Dear Gorlitz,
I don't remember the exact edit I made regarding Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, but if it was in relation to sporting events in Washington, D.C., and specifically the Washington Redskins football team, you can be assured that the edit was correct and offered updated information or corrected something that was factually incorrect.
I am a native of Washington, D.C., a lifelong fan of Washington-area sports, and I work as a professional journalist and editor, as well as a fact-checker for a prominent series of sports publications.
I rarely make changes to Wikipedia, but when I do I can assure you that the facts will be correct. I daresay, if you know nothing about the Redskins or the history of RFK Stadium or Washington, D.C., sports, then you probably shouldn't be monkeying around with other person's good-faith changes.
If you'd like to forward me the page in question, and notate the change, I'd very much like to review it.
Thanks,

Hi Walter Shalom & God Bless you,
Sorry, but I'm new to Wikipedia & opening an account for the first time, I did have a look at what the guidelines for adding and editing to a page to some degree, but I'm not sure about trying to "Advertise?" or using Wikipedia as a "Soapbox?" I'm not sure if you were monitoring what I have typed in? or if you are you working/monitoring the page on behalf of Wikipedia? or are you someone who keeps a close eye on this paricular Wikipedia information page regarding various Christian music genres?
At the point my edit of the page was stopped and yourself? someone else? or Wikipedia interjected/intercepted my edit? I was recounting a track listing of a former band I was in before I was Born Again in 2004 with a history of my career leading up to being Born Again and to present day.
My true intention was not to advertise or sell the music, demo's or album's mentioned that I have been involved in as none of it is available for public consumption anyway & and none of the music I had discussed thus far was on sale at any outlets, all were mainly demo recordings!! Plus I do not want to sell any music I peformed on before I was Born Again, it is just to give a Chronology of my musical career right up to the point of my rededication to the Lord Jesus Christ in October 2004 and since.
I would appreciate your input and any advice regarding contibuting to the Wikipedia pages as I am a virtual novice regarding getting started on usng Wikipedia.
And could you tell me in what capacity did i use it as a soapbox? or as Avertisng as I am new to all this I do not know which guidelines I have crossed? I would appreciate some feedback from yourself if you could please.
Thanks for your input and response
Love & Peace in Jesus name

Greetings Walter,
My name is Jay Heilman and I run KingdomBuilderTV.com (not a blog, but an upcoming website) as well as being the founder of ChristianMusicReview.org over seven years ago. I have contacts from management groups, publicist firms and record labels in which I get my information from which I believe are the "most credible sources". The info I updated on TFK's 'The End Is Where We Begin' page including the release date and track listing came directly from a press release that I received from Hoganson Media Relations. I also have an official pre-release copy of the album as well, so the information in which I put on there is 100% accurate. I even noted when making the changes that I didn't know how to reference something on Wikipedia, so that's why there was no reference. CMR is one of the most trusted sources of artists reviews and info in the Christian music industry having been recognized and quoted by several national publicity firms over the last seven years. So I wanted to take a moment and let you know where my information came from. The release date is in fact April 17, 2012, and even though the radio station website who had posted a post citing April 22nd as the release date, is not correct. If you look at the date on a calendar, April 22nd is a Sunday, which is clearly not a Tuesday release date as with all other releases. I don't change information based on speculation, but as to facts which are given to me by official sources, which are indicated clearly in the editing history of the page as to being provided by Hoganson Media Relations, a publicity firm that was officially hired to publicize this release for the band. I know you are trying to protect the sanctity and accurateness of Wikipedia entries and I respect that, but you really should look at where/who the info is coming from.

Walter:
What counts as a reliable source
"Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Source material must have been published (made available to the public in some form)"
According to these rules you pointed out the OFFICIAL broadcast of the Montreal Imapct v Houston Dynamo in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic. it is "third party" ... it is from a source that has a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" and it was "made available to the public in some form" ... that form being live broadcast.
there is no reason that squad numbers verified with the source of the OFFICIAL LEAGUE BROADCAST cannot be considered a reliable source by the very rules you quoted me. i will be making the update again based on these rules and that my source adheres to them directly. do not undo them again.

Hi there WALTER, VASCO here,
i thought that overlinking was linking more than ONCE, in the Feher article, Hungary and Portugal were only linked once in box and once in body of article, i thought that was OK. Sorry for any incovenience, i will unlink the countries (but would very much like to know what harm it does to have a country linked in a footballer article).

, but you should read the
guide to appealing blocks first.During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus.

Walter Görlitz ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
The admin is being unreasonable and applying an essay, WP:BRD, as a policy or guideline and has chosen not to discuss his revert of a valid comment: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=2011_Stanley_Cup_playoffs&diff=prev&oldid=486644953 which is not WP:OR as claimed (see article's talk page). I opened discussion but the other editor, who is the admin who has blocked me, was not discussing. Admins involved in supposed edit wars themselves should not block. Shouldn't they post the case to ANI or elsewhere? This is an abuse of power. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 16:18, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Before giving the reason for my unblock, I will just quote a few policies I feel are relevant. Firstly, WP:BLOCK:
Administrators must not block users with whom they are engaged in a content dispute; instead, they should report the problem to other administrators.
Administrators should not use their tools to advantage, or in a content dispute (or article) where they are a party (or significant editor) [...]
An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions [...]
Because BWilkins has twice overridden the other editors' contributions at the page, 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs ( first revert, repeated revert) it is my personal opinion that he was edit warring, although this is debatable depending on interpretation of the circumstances.
Additionally, BWilkins saying to Walter the most important part here: if you are willing to self-revert on the article immediately after being unblocked, then I will unblock you ... now
made it seem that he was using the block to try and force Walter into self-reverting. BWilkins clarified that his intention here was simply to help Walter discuss and build consensus, as indicated by his comment self-reverting shows proof that you're communicating towards consensus instead of blind reverting
. However, requesting a self-revert in the circumstances can have the unfortunate effect of appearing to be forwarding what appears to be his side of the dispute - even if the request was well-intentioned and his only involvement in the dispute was trying to guide Walter.
I see no need for a block here, as I believe you are both capable of discussing this on the talk page and letting a consensus form there, rather than resorting to edit warring. As such, I have unblocked Walter, however, this should in no way be taken by Walter as a suggestion that his edit warring is okay. If either of you continue to edit war over the article you will find yourselves blocked. Discuss on the talk page. - Kingpin 13 ( talk) (edited 20:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC), see [8])

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Template:Music of Canada". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 20 April 2012.
Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

After making an update I realized that you already made a comment that only tools with articles should be listed there. Sorry about that and thanks for the correction! You replied faster than I could type a question. Thanks for watching this page! Btw I noticed that MicroFocus and Microsoft don't have an article dedicated to the tool.

Hi, My name is Donald Fraser The former lead singer of "Don fraser & Detour" Although some of the dates and events are slightly inaccurate in a couple of places, I can attest to the fact that my son (who bears the same name as myself) has most of the events and facts correct. We were not a hugely succesful band from a marketing standpoint, but we considered ourselves succesful none the less. We did in fact achieve the goal we set out to. We cared only to cover our expenses and bring what we consider to be the greatest news ever reported in the history of mankind. I will not pretend to be as succesful as any of the bands we grew up listening to, but we worked hard at our craft, and strove to be as good as we could. We didn't want to give to God, that which cost us nothing. We sacrificed for our mission and paid a dear price as did our families. We worked full time jobs during the day and played gigs at night usually for no pay, and at times we paid for the priviledge of entertaining the clientel of the clubs we played such as Gazzaries, Night Moves, Club 88, The Sportsmens Lodge,Fm Station, The Trubador, and many many others. I'm sure you are familiar with the method many of the clubs used throughout the eighties of "The band has to buy $250.00 worth of tickets and sell them for $500.00 to their friends. That is rareley succesful for a band that works 40-6- hours a week and then practices 15-20 hours. I don't mean to complain. I would still be doing it if I were younger and gladly. i only wish to make the point that we were serious as a heart attack about what we believed we had to do. People told us that that Christian stuff was all phoney. that if we really believed that those who die without knowing Christ as their Lord and Savior would spend eternity in torment with no hope for reprieve, You would be willing to crawl over broken glass on your hands and knees just for a chance to save them. In truth, that would save no-one and be utterly ridiculous. But, what we did back then was our sacrifice of time and sleep and money, and time away from our families, all in hope of reaching someone with the good news that Christ died willingly on the cross to save all. But also knowing that most would find this to be laughable, and reject Him and perish anyway. Knowing this, Jesus chose to die for all that he might save some. It's true. We stayed true to our message and our God because He loves all. Every last one of them. But you can't save a drowning man if he will not get in the boat and insists that no-one is drowning. God Loves You and all. For this reason we did what we did because this was our field of broken glass. Most of us are without regret toward what we chose to do. i know I am.
Thank you if you were able to read all of this.

HotHat ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has just left some harassing messages ( [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14]) on my talk page, apparently angry at me for redirecting Bart Millard to MercyMe, and requesting me to provide sources on 7eventh Time Down his way (basically wanting the whole world to dwell around him).

With new users, you need to take the time to explain to them why their edits were reverted if they are not obvious vandalism. I refer specifically to your actions in response to edits by User:194.105.120.70 back in March. "Unexplained addition" isn't really a reason to undo someone's edits if they are not obviously unconstructive. And you were obviously in the right to revert copyright violations, but you should let the user know on their talk page why we cannot accept their edits, instead of continuously reverting "vandalism".- RunningOnBrains( talk) 16:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I can understand the frustrations in dealing with vandalism all day every day (and please don't think I'm hounding you, I actually just realized you are the same editor I talked to in the above section), but the world will not end if this editor isn't blocked. The important information that I was referring to was that apparently he had recently been warned as an IP for the same actions; I likely would have blocked him if I had known that. I'm not psychic—although I wish they would add that to the admin tools ;)—so if an editor is IP-hopping or socking please be sure to note that in your reports in the future, as the responding admin would likely want to take that into account.

Hello Walter Görlitz,
Thank you for placing back all the previous attributes. I don't know how to go about doing this. I am Joseph Quevedo, I am a professional recording artist. I have recorded locally, nationally and internationally. I am a christian drummer and percussionist and have recorded with christian and non-christian artists. from famous artists to local up-comming artists. I have been on tour with a few artists as well. I do this for a living. I am what they call a back-up drummer. A back-up drummer is the drummer that comes in only when the actual drummer is ill or cannot make it. I step in for the band and let the show go on. I have never been the lead or main drummer or percussionist. Warner Music, Sony, Epic, Word Entertainment and Intergity Music use me as (on Call). I have played and recorded for a few srtists for example, Ricky Martin, Lisa Marie Presley, Jaci Velasquez, Crystal Lewis, Marcus Witt, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, Felix Rodriquez, Misael & Freedom, Sound Sphere, Mary Alessi, Livan Trujillo, Face 2 Face, Ed Calle, Arturo Sandoval, Tito Puente, Jr, Etc... I am named on most of there CDs on some I never was named. It didn't bother me because I was paid and in actually that is what matters not the recorgnition.... I am a humble man. But for some tht I am on the cd, I am not found on wikipedia and I wanted to fix that. how can i do this in one shot? who can i do this will your approval? I do I correct this issue? do you have an email, I can sent it to and you edit it for me? Or do I re edit it and you appove or them? I will only list or edit, what is correct and not remove or vandolize the encyclopedia. please let me know.

I have tried and you have taken it off. I need your spproval to do this right. Please let me know how... Can I simply redo them and you approve or do I send you can e-mail with the artists and my role on the cd? They are not many of them that needs to be corrected. Please advise...

They are listed as featured reviewer on NRT, so his website contains more credibility because he post his reviews on that site, which means they must meet some level of standard in order for him to carry the featured reviewer tag.

Walter - I'm dealing with what appears to be a single user logging in on multiple anon accounts who is continually editing List of VeggieTales episodes and adding videos that he appears to be getting word of mouth as I've been unable to independently verify any of the movies even after doing an extensive Google search so I have no idea where he's getting the info. It appears that his/her info is accurate (as he tried to enter the "Robin Good" video for months before it came out) and I've left messages on every single one of the logins Talk pages asking/begging them to simply supply a ref to the upcoming video, but if it was a fansite or blog it probably wasn't valid. However, I haven't had much (any) success and was looking for suggestions. If you look at the revision history, basically everyone of the anon users you see there was trying to add these unverified videos (which is why I think it's the same guy/gal).

Hi Walter,
I am a French Christian and, actually, I am translating in French you article about Plus One.
It seems there is an oversight in this section :
Formation and early years: 1999–2000
Plus One began to take shape as early as 1998 and formed by a manager named Mitchell Solarek, when 18-year-old Sacramento, California-boy Nate Cole was joined by 21-year-old Gabe Combs of Pittsburgh, California, 22-year-old Nathan Walters of Lakeland, Florida and the 19-year-old Jeremy Mhire, who had been engrossed in vocal studies as a junior on full scholarship to Southwest Missouri State University. In a pattern of chance and happy accidents, suggesting a bit of destiny at play, Cole and Combs had known each other from mutual music circles while growing up in Northern California and Nathan had initially heard about the new group through an acquaintance of Nate’s. The group came to complete fruition with the arrival of Jason Perry, who up to that moment had been focusing on his role as starting fullback and defensive end for his high school football team. The youngest member of the group, The name Plus One refers to the members of the group, plus God.
in the middle of bold part. There is no talk about the fifth member Jeremy Mhire.
Could you complete this part and inform me when it will be do ?

Hello Walter Görlitz
I would ask whether it was possible for me to delete the user page history?
So that it looked like the user page history of an user who has not yet written anyting on his user page.
So it would look like this:
"Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Suitcivil133. If in doubt, please verify that "Suitcivil133" exists. Start the User:Suitcivil133 page Search for "User:Suitcivil133" in existing pages of namespace User. Look for pages within Wikipedia that link to this title.
Other reasons this message may be displayed:
If a page was recently created here, it may not yet be visible because of a delay in updating the database; wait a few minutes and try the purge function. Titles on Wikipedia are case sensitive except for the first character; please check alternative capitalizations and consider adding a redirect here to the correct title. If the page has been deleted, check the deletion log, and see Why was the page I created deleted?."
I hope you know what I mean.
Thank you very much.

Hi there. I've reverted all of your recent changes that removed football kits from articles. I agree that having the logo in the shirt isn't ideal, however the proper solution is not to just delete the entire kit from the article, it is to find the individual layer with the logo and edit that image to remove the logo. If you're unwilling or unable to do this, give me a list of images that have the logos in them and I will do the edits for you. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Last night was an unqualified mess. We both acted foolishly, and I personally have no desire to continue it. I'm withdrawing the AN/I case.

My hundreds of edits to Wiki over the past six years have been entirely motivated by this desire which I believe conforms to my understanding of Wiki's purposes as well ), in my view Wiki are going to have a problem in the future as clearly ebooks are now a major publishing force and will grow even larger as indeed Wiki itself has replaced hard copy encyclopedias.But of course I accept your actions and will continue to support Wiki with edits in the future Kind Rgds Brian Ichthys58 ( talk) 18:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

As the founder and CEO of Gray Dot Records and Executive Producer of Third Day's first CD to be released on a national level, I think I have a very good overview of that time period. I have plenty of written documentation such as their original multi-year Recording Contract with Gray Dot if you care to see it. Do you have the original text that I posted. If so, please send me a copy so that I can correct what it wrong.

You realize that I emailed in the permission from his production team, right? They really wanted the previous photo to be removed since it is a very different image than this one. They worked hard with me to figure out what we need to for using another photo from their publicity (no words, watermarks, etc). I don't see anywhere in OTRS that the photo shouldn't be used until after OTRS team verifies what I already have verified (especially since it often takes 1 month). It's not like I'm someone new here who doesn't understand images like we commonly see. In any case, I appreciate all that you do to watch articles that aren't watched my many others but I think you did the wrong thing in this case. Royal broil 04:19, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
It says in the link you share on my page (rules about flag in infoboxes), that exceptions would be military battle infoboxes templates and infoboxes that include international competitions, such as FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games.
So my question is, why doesn't it make sense to add a flag to a national team?! It is a team representing a nation in international sporting events, and it certainly adds more clarity. Also other sports have the flag present on the page, as well as several other national teams, not only for football, but for several other sports as well. From how I understand the rules, international sporting events, such as FIFA World Cup and the Olympics are exceptions to this rule, so why did you go and remove all the flags I added to the national teams? -- subzzee ( talk) 01:55, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi there. Thank you for your detailed explanation. I appreciate it. I do understand that a valid source is needed when an addition is made. However, it still doesn't explain very well why AOC has been removed for the reason that he "started at Southampton". Also, I found an article that might support the addition of AOC. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2193683/Arsene-Wenger-hails-new-generation-young-British-players.html If you still have problem with me listing AOC in the Arsene Wenger article, please find a verified Arsenal expert to prove that I am wrong. Thank you.-- Miunouta ( talk) 06:47, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I have read your comment about "[me] mucking about with" the Wenger article. For your information, I do know what I am doing. I'm putting my precious time into this article just to make it better and didn't expect it to be seen as "mucking about". My suggestion to some editor is that one should think twice before reverting a change that someone else has made with effort. Vandalism is a totally different case though.-- Miunouta ( talk) 07:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Can you explain what you mean by "unnecessary and distracting use of colour"? If anything, it needs to be something which engages readers, captures their attention and want to know something more about the MLS and its history. Bland is what it is now when you reverted it back to its original page. I'm sure there a probably market studies/reports on what captures attention.
To the rest of the world, football(soccer) may be number one sport, but it's "only" the 7th rated sport here in the US behind the NFL, Major League Baseball(MLB), NBA, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball, and the NHL! Its TV viewership barely registers on television screens. Newspapers are barely covering it outside of the markets which host a team.
I wanted to take a few columns out of the table but, out of respect for the person who created it, I left them in. So, if you feel that the use of color takes away from someone wanting to satisfy their thirst for knowlege, then so be it.

That article has used yyyy-mm-dd for accessdates pretty consistently since they were introduced 2009-MAR-21. The MOS specifically allows ymd for accessdates. Abbreviating the publication dates is also specifically allowed. I think that full month names are important in the body, but just take up space in the ref section, but if you object to that, I have no objection to restoring the full month names, as that is how they were originally entered. There was no consistency in publication dates, all 3 formats were being used until today, and YMD is not an option for publication dates (acc to the MOS). -- JimWae ( talk) 23:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Walter!
My name is Paul & I'm the guy who made the changes to the BarlowGirl page you corrected last night.
I am quite aware of the need for accurate information here on Wikipedia as many people use it as a source of reference information. I therefore made the additions with this in mind. The information I compiled and added were based of actual transcripts of not only their final appearance which I have recorded and listened to repeatedly, but also made notes on purely for this purpose. I am a big fan of BarlowGirl and I, more than anyone, am the first to debunk any false stories, myths, or any other source of incorrect information.
The information on the fact of the track "Home For Christmas" where it is the only song their guitarist, Rebecca sings lead vocals is completely relevant, because as you would be aware of, she has a fear of not only of performing on stage, but being the "centre of attention" in a public situation (this was admitted by her sister Lauren on the bonus DVD included in the album "How Can We Be Silent" Premier Edition). As you would also be aware, Alyssa & Lauren were the only 2 who shared lead vocals on any given song, so the fact that Rebecca would even undertake lead vocals on any track is definitely newsworthy!
As for the addition of Beka Hardt's entry. As I explained, the girls themselves would be the first to admit that she has been the unsung "hero" of the band, sacrificing not only effort & time to the band, but also her dedication to her friend's general upkeep, with little or no recognition at all! (I know what that feels like!). There are other points I could also illustrate here, but I will spare you them for the sake of peace.
While I am not sure who you are, or by what authority you have to make these changes (whether you are even a part of Wikipedia), I think you should at lease exercise some sort of restraint in your attitude towards other's entries and at the very least, do additional research into the topics you so freely edit. As pointed out in the introduction to Wikipedia, it is not perfect and mistakes can happen, but to allow a single person to govern and edit it as their own will is not good! I believe that everyone has some source of correct information which they spend hours researching, compiling & entering for the benefit of others, but to have 1 single person come over and change everything to their "liking" is not only unfair, but discouraging to others future entries; it also creates ill will and eventually savage attacks, which as you know, is not the point of this website! (Leave that crap to Facebook * other "social" networks!)
While you, like the rest of us are more than entitled to your opinions, I would ask you to first stop & think before you change another person's entry, & undertake additional research before you hit your "delete" key. You might think you know everything here on Wikipedia, but please don't discount the fact that someone else might know more than you!
I am not here to pick a fight with you, or anyone else, but just because something is not relevant to you, doesn’t mean that it isn’t relevant to others; that is purely a matter of opinion!!
God bless & take care!

Sorry about getting back to this so late. I've been super busy with real life. I noticed that you undid my removal of unreferenced content in Seattle Sounders FC which is currently listed as a featured article. Your edit summary stated this: We don't remove material that can be referenced, we cite or tag it. The policy I'm familiar with, WP:V, clearly states the following: Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Editors are not required to add citations or tag unreferenced content. Where it not a featured article, I would have probably done that, but featured articles are necessarily held to a higher standard. Hence the removal. I appreciate you adding the correct citation when you reverted my removal, and more importantly your efforts to ensure that the quality level in featured articles remains high. -- SkotyWA T C 00:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Marc Muniesa is recovering from a knee surgery. He was not enrolled in La Liga, as can be seen on the official website ( http://www.lfp.es/temporada/fichaclubplantillas.aspx?IDParam=5). This information that he is the number 26 is wrong because in the Spanish league clubs use the numbers 1-25 on the regular squad. Muniesa is first team player and can not use numbers above 25. What's more, the number 26 is used by the defender Sergi Gómez, yes this player's B team ( http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/clubs/club=50080/squad/index.html).

Henry is no exception as the Daily Mail came out today saying that the deal is not confirmed at all and that Henry may not actually go to Arsenal now. Who knows to be honest.

Oh and, as I am sure you have noticed, the MLS club articles are being updated a lot now that the MLS season is over and transactions are being done but it does worry me how their are Academy players being signed (like the ones at New York Red Bulls) and that there is no option to unlink the non-notable players on the current squad template. Now this is not to go against the squad template used in MLS articles as I actually think it is right for MLS articles due to MLS's rules like the HGP and Drafted players/Guest players but there really needs to be an option to unlink the non-notable players so they are not created pre-maturely.

I've checked with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Clubs page and these sections are perfectly valid.

Hi. I had this article on my watchlist and noticed this change of yours. I just got out of a discussion with another genre editor who uses Allmusic's sidebar as a source, trying to convince him to use of better sources if available. You said in your edit summary that Allmusic's genre "cloud" isnt reliable (as previously noted at WP:ALBUMS and RSN discussions), so could this be mentioned in a guideline somewhere? Where we could refer editors that use it? Neither WP:GW nor WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES say anything about it, although the former looks like an editor's essay. Dan56 ( talk) 04:03, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

I must say, I am finding my entry into wikipedia extremely frustrating.
You deleted my entry "HelpMaster" claming it was not notable. On what basis do you make this claim?

It appears (to me) that Hrafn is following me around on Wiki, seeing where I do edits and subjecting me to the same WP:Lawyering crap that he's pulled on Calvary Chapel to either do blanket deletions of whole sections of content or leave cryptic, unhelpful tags to recent additions forcing me to divine his intentions. He never adds info or does constructive edits - he simply drops hand grenades and waits for someone else to pick up the pieces. I'm not perfect. Sometimes my insertions don't meet rules or guidelines, but I'm trying to learn. However, I love to flesh things out and try to add shape and definition to pages - that's my passion. I'm also happy to fix things if pointed out, but I've stopped watching/editting two pages - one of which I've been trying to bring around for months (with little success) - because I've grown tired of his crap.

Your recent editing history at David Crowder Band shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Hey Walter.
I can't say I'm a fan of the new MLS squad layout. I don't like that you struggle to fit the entire squad on the same page, meaning you're scrolling up and down too much.

My screen resolution runs at 1366 x 768. It's not too bad, but I think it's going to look pretty ugly to a lot of people.

Doing the Newsboys Discography was my first attempt at a discography and I would like to thank you for helping me learn if I where to ever attempt it again.

I am half Spanish and fluent in Spanish. I can easily see if an source is reliable or not. In the case of SeaBoy (which BTW is an banned user that has reappeared with an different username, he admitted so on his talk page) recent edits on the Real Madrid page and his inclusion of the false claim of Real Madrid being the most successful in terms of domestic and international trophies, is an absurd action considering the fact that such a claim has no reason on earth.
First of all the sources are unreliable blogs/football pages that are free for all to participate in. I happen to know a writer on that page (blachereport). His name is Manuel Traquente and he is not even 18 years old. The two blogs do not include the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup which is officially recognized by FIFA and UEFA as being the predecessor of the UEFA Cup nor do they include the Copa Eva Duarte trophy, founded and organized by RFEF and regarded as the predecessor of the current Spanish Super Cup. Therefore it should not be valid as a source.
Moreover this is a wrong statement as FC Barcelona have more domestic and international trophies. And I only include trophies recognized by either RFEF (The Royal Spanish Football Federation), UEFA and FIFA.
For further explanation and proof of me being right, see the Real Madrid discussion page or the Spanish and Catalan Wikipedia pages of FC Barcelona. Both versions are using reliable sources from one of the biggest Spanish sportpapapers.
It is an untrue and biased statement that can not be proven by reliable sources therefore it must be removed.-- Crashwheelx ( talk) 16:51, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware of the discussions, and have already edited these pages to this end in the past and participated in the talk page discussions. I think you've been doing a good job keeping on top of them, and I almost posted on here to comment to that effect a few days ago. But the 'discussion' on this topic - particularly at Talk:Real Madrid C.F. - had descended into nonesensical name calling between a couple of editors who had ignored reasonable appeals to one of the few immutable policies of Wikipedia, the WP:NPOV. I didn't see how further discussion was going to convince them, and it looked to me like you'd given up and abandoned those pages, as you'd let the versions which make a mockery of the NPOV stay up.
I've found in the past that eventually in these situations that editors of this type either get bored or get themselves banned; it's a case of correcting the page and letting them dig their own hole. And as it goes, the better version has (touch wood) been stable for a couple of days!

Hi Walter. I wanted to comment on the discussion on Risk-Based Testing ( talk) between yourself and talk. I think, originally, a valid point was raised for discussion. However, in reviewing the dialogue, I think the discussion has gotten very personal and emotional, and I think WP:AGF has been forgotten along the way by both parties. Reviewing your tone and choice of words, I think you have lost your neutrality and have let your feelings show through, and inadvertently contributed to escalating the problem. I think this has now gotten to the point that it puts the content at risk (no pun intended), and I'd like to plead for both parties to cease discussion until the air has cleared a little.

Dear Gorlitz,
I don't remember the exact edit I made regarding Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, but if it was in relation to sporting events in Washington, D.C., and specifically the Washington Redskins football team, you can be assured that the edit was correct and offered updated information or corrected something that was factually incorrect.
I am a native of Washington, D.C., a lifelong fan of Washington-area sports, and I work as a professional journalist and editor, as well as a fact-checker for a prominent series of sports publications.
I rarely make changes to Wikipedia, but when I do I can assure you that the facts will be correct. I daresay, if you know nothing about the Redskins or the history of RFK Stadium or Washington, D.C., sports, then you probably shouldn't be monkeying around with other person's good-faith changes.
If you'd like to forward me the page in question, and notate the change, I'd very much like to review it.
Thanks,

Hi Walter Shalom & God Bless you,
Sorry, but I'm new to Wikipedia & opening an account for the first time, I did have a look at what the guidelines for adding and editing to a page to some degree, but I'm not sure about trying to "Advertise?" or using Wikipedia as a "Soapbox?" I'm not sure if you were monitoring what I have typed in? or if you are you working/monitoring the page on behalf of Wikipedia? or are you someone who keeps a close eye on this paricular Wikipedia information page regarding various Christian music genres?
At the point my edit of the page was stopped and yourself? someone else? or Wikipedia interjected/intercepted my edit? I was recounting a track listing of a former band I was in before I was Born Again in 2004 with a history of my career leading up to being Born Again and to present day.
My true intention was not to advertise or sell the music, demo's or album's mentioned that I have been involved in as none of it is available for public consumption anyway & and none of the music I had discussed thus far was on sale at any outlets, all were mainly demo recordings!! Plus I do not want to sell any music I peformed on before I was Born Again, it is just to give a Chronology of my musical career right up to the point of my rededication to the Lord Jesus Christ in October 2004 and since.
I would appreciate your input and any advice regarding contibuting to the Wikipedia pages as I am a virtual novice regarding getting started on usng Wikipedia.
And could you tell me in what capacity did i use it as a soapbox? or as Avertisng as I am new to all this I do not know which guidelines I have crossed? I would appreciate some feedback from yourself if you could please.
Thanks for your input and response

Greetings Walter,
My name is Jay Heilman and I run KingdomBuilderTV.com (not a blog, but an upcoming website) as well as being the founder of ChristianMusicReview.org over seven years ago. I have contacts from management groups, publicist firms and record labels in which I get my information from which I believe are the "most credible sources". The info I updated on TFK's 'The End Is Where We Begin' page including the release date and track listing came directly from a press release that I received from Hoganson Media Relations. I also have an official pre-release copy of the album as well, so the information in which I put on there is 100% accurate. I even noted when making the changes that I didn't know how to reference something on Wikipedia, so that's why there was no reference. CMR is one of the most trusted sources of artists reviews and info in the Christian music industry having been recognized and quoted by several national publicity firms over the last seven years. So I wanted to take a moment and let you know where my information came from. The release date is in fact April 17, 2012, and even though the radio station website who had posted a post citing April 22nd as the release date, is not correct. If you look at the date on a calendar, April 22nd is a Sunday, which is clearly not a Tuesday release date as with all other releases. I don't change information based on speculation, but as to facts which are given to me by official sources, which are indicated clearly in the editing history of the page as to being provided by Hoganson Media Relations, a publicity firm that was officially hired to publicize this release for the band. I know you are trying to protect the sanctity and accurateness of Wikipedia entries and I respect that, but you really should look at where/who the info is coming from. Thanks for your time and blessings! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.187.194.128 ( talk) 16:02, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Walter:
What counts as a reliable source
"Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Source material must have been published (made available to the public in some form)"
According to these rules you pointed out the OFFICIAL broadcast of the Montreal Imapct v Houston Dynamo in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic. it is "third party" ... it is from a source that has a "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" and it was "made available to the public in some form" ... that form being live broadcast.
there is no reason that squad numbers verified with the source of the OFFICIAL LEAGUE BROADCAST cannot be considered a reliable source by the very rules you quoted me. i will be making the update again based on these rules and that my source adheres to them directly. do not undo them again.

Walter Görlitz ( block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser ( log))
Request reason:
The admin is being unreasonable and applying an essay, WP:BRD, as a policy or guideline and has chosen not to discuss his revert of a valid comment: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=2011_Stanley_Cup_playoffs&diff=prev&oldid=486644953 which is not WP:OR as claimed (see article's talk page). I opened discussion but the other editor, who is the admin who has blocked me, was not discussing. Admins involved in supposed edit wars themselves should not block. Shouldn't they post the case to ANI or elsewhere? This is an abuse of power. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 16:18, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Before giving the reason for my unblock, I will just quote a few policies I feel are relevant. Firstly, WP:BLOCK:
Administrators must not block users with whom they are engaged in a content dispute; instead, they should report the problem to other administrators.
Administrators should not use their tools to advantage, or in a content dispute (or article) where they are a party (or significant editor) [...]
An edit war occurs when editors who disagree about the content of a page repeatedly override each other's contributions [...]
Because BWilkins has twice overridden the other editors' contributions at the page, 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs ( first revert, repeated revert) it is my personal opinion that he was edit warring, although this is debatable depending on interpretation of the circumstances.
Additionally, BWilkins saying to Walter the most important part here: if you are willing to self-revert on the article immediately after being unblocked, then I will unblock you ... now
made it seem that he was using the block to try and force Walter into self-reverting. BWilkins clarified that his intention here was simply to help Walter discuss and build consensus, as indicated by his comment self-reverting shows proof that you're communicating towards consensus instead of blind reverting
. However, requesting a self-revert in the circumstances can have the unfortunate effect of appearing to be forwarding what appears to be his side of the dispute - even if the request was well-intentioned and his only involvement in the dispute was trying to guide Walter.
I see no need for a block here, as I believe you are both capable of discussing this on the talk page and letting a consensus form there, rather than resorting to edit warring. As such, I have unblocked Walter, however, this should in no way be taken by Walter as a suggestion that his edit warring is okay. If either of you continue to edit war over the article you will find yourselves blocked. Discuss on the talk page. - Kingpin 13 ( talk) (edited 20:30, 23 April 2012 (UTC), see [8])

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Template:Music of Canada". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 20 April 2012.

Hi, My name is Donald Fraser The former lead singer of "Don fraser & Detour" Although some of the dates and events are slightly inaccurate in a couple of places, I can attest to the fact that my son (who bears the same name as myself) has most of the events and facts correct. We were not a hugely succesful band from a marketing standpoint, but we considered ourselves succesful none the less. We did in fact achieve the goal we set out to. We cared only to cover our expenses and bring what we consider to be the greatest news ever reported in the history of mankind. I will not pretend to be as succesful as any of the bands we grew up listening to, but we worked hard at our craft, and strove to be as good as we could. We didn't want to give to God, that which cost us nothing. We sacrificed for our mission and paid a dear price as did our families. We worked full time jobs during the day and played gigs at night usually for no pay, and at times we paid for the priviledge of entertaining the clientel of the clubs we played such as Gazzaries, Night Moves, Club 88, The Sportsmens Lodge,Fm Station, The Trubador, and many many others. I'm sure you are familiar with the method many of the clubs used throughout the eighties of "The band has to buy $250.00 worth of tickets and sell them for $500.00 to their friends. That is rareley succesful for a band that works 40-6- hours a week and then practices 15-20 hours. I don't mean to complain. I would still be doing it if I were younger and gladly. i only wish to make the point that we were serious as a heart attack about what we believed we had to do. People told us that that Christian stuff was all phoney. that if we really believed that those who die without knowing Christ as their Lord and Savior would spend eternity in torment with no hope for reprieve, You would be willing to crawl over broken glass on your hands and knees just for a chance to save them. In truth, that would save no-one and be utterly ridiculous. But, what we did back then was our sacrifice of time and sleep and money, and time away from our families, all in hope of reaching someone with the good news that Christ died willingly on the cross to save all. But also knowing that most would find this to be laughable, and reject Him and perish anyway. Knowing this, Jesus chose to die for all that he might save some. It's true. We stayed true to our message and our God because He loves all. Every last one of them. But you can't save a drowning man if he will not get in the boat and insists that no-one is drowning. God Loves You and all. For this reason we did what we did because this was our field of broken glass. Most of us are without regret toward what we chose to do. i know I am.
Thank you if you were able to read all of this.

With new users, you need to take the time to explain to them why their edits were reverted if they are not obvious vandalism. I refer specifically to your actions in response to edits by User:194.105.120.70 back in March. "Unexplained addition" isn't really a reason to undo someone's edits if they are not obviously unconstructive. And you were obviously in the right to revert copyright violations, but you should let the user know on their talk page why we cannot accept their edits, instead of continuously reverting "vandalism".- RunningOnBrains( talk) 16:53, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
I can understand the frustrations in dealing with vandalism all day every day (and please don't think I'm hounding you, I actually just realized you are the same editor I talked to in the above section), but the world will not end if this editor isn't blocked. The important information that I was referring to was that apparently he had recently been warned as an IP for the same actions; I likely would have blocked him if I had known that. I'm not psychic—although I wish they would add that to the admin tools ;)—so if an editor is IP-hopping or socking please be sure to note that in your reports in the future, as the responding admin would likely want to take that into account.

Hello Walter Görlitz,
Thank you for placing back all the previous attributes. I don't know how to go about doing this. I am Joseph Quevedo, I am a professional recording artist. I have recorded locally, nationally and internationally. I am a christian drummer and percussionist and have recorded with christian and non-christian artists. from famous artists to local up-comming artists. I have been on tour with a few artists as well. I do this for a living. I am what they call a back-up drummer. A back-up drummer is the drummer that comes in only when the actual drummer is ill or cannot make it. I step in for the band and let the show go on. I have never been the lead or main drummer or percussionist. Warner Music, Sony, Epic, Word Entertainment and Intergity Music use me as (on Call). I have played and recorded for a few srtists for example, Ricky Martin, Lisa Marie Presley, Jaci Velasquez, Crystal Lewis, Marcus Witt, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, Felix Rodriquez, Misael & Freedom, Sound Sphere, Mary Alessi, Livan Trujillo, Face 2 Face, Ed Calle, Arturo Sandoval, Tito Puente, Jr, Etc... I am named on most of there CDs on some I never was named. It didn't bother me because I was paid and in actually that is what matters not the recorgnition.... I am a humble man. But for some tht I am on the cd, I am not found on wikipedia and I wanted to fix that. how can i do this in one shot? who can i do this will your approval? I do I correct this issue? do you have an email, I can sent it to and you edit it for me? Or do I re edit it and you appove or them? I will only list or edit, what is correct and not remove or vandolize the encyclopedia. please let me know. Be Blessed, my brother! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jquevedo007 ( talk • contribs)
I have tried to edit Wikipedia to correct a few flaws it has. I do hope you recieved my last message. I, Joseph Quevedo am a full-time recording and live musician. drums and percussion recorded locally, nationally, and internationally for several big time and small time artists. I am listed in there original hard copy cd. I wanted to simply add my name to those cds, I contributed my God given talents and only to those cds. How can I do this...? I have tried and you have taken it off. I need your spproval to do this right. Please let me know how... Can I simply redo them and you approve or do I send you can e-mail with the artists and my role on the cd? They are not many of them that needs to be corrected. Please advise...

They are listed as featured reviewer on NRT, so his website contains more credibility because he post his reviews on that site, which means they must meet some level of standard in order for him to carry the featured reviewer tag. Even Kevin McNeese, the sites founder is considered to be a featured reviewer, so it must be rather difficult to get that seal of approval. HotHat ( talk) 00:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Walter - I'm dealing with what appears to be a single user logging in on multiple anon accounts who is continually editing List of VeggieTales episodes and adding videos that he appears to be getting word of mouth as I've been unable to independently verify any of the movies even after doing an extensive Google search so I have no idea where he's getting the info. It appears that his/her info is accurate (as he tried to enter the "Robin Good" video for months before it came out) and I've left messages on every single one of the logins Talk pages asking/begging them to simply supply a ref to the upcoming video, but if it was a fansite or blog it probably wasn't valid. However, I haven't had much (any) success and was looking for suggestions. If you look at the revision history, basically everyone of the anon users you see there was trying to add these unverified videos (which is why I think it's the same guy/gal). Getting old continually reverting the same material, but am I being too anal? What are you thoughts? Thanks - Ckruschke ( talk) 02:43, 18 May 2012 (UTC)Ckruschke

Hi Walter,
I am a French Christian and, actually, I am translating in French you article about Plus One.
It seems there is an oversight in this section :
Formation and early years: 1999–2000
Plus One began to take shape as early as 1998 and formed by a manager named Mitchell Solarek, when 18-year-old Sacramento, California-boy Nate Cole was joined by 21-year-old Gabe Combs of Pittsburgh, California, 22-year-old Nathan Walters of Lakeland, Florida and the 19-year-old Jeremy Mhire, who had been engrossed in vocal studies as a junior on full scholarship to Southwest Missouri State University. In a pattern of chance and happy accidents, suggesting a bit of destiny at play, Cole and Combs had known each other from mutual music circles while growing up in Northern California and Nathan had initially heard about the new group through an acquaintance of Nate’s. The group came to complete fruition with the arrival of Jason Perry, who up to that moment had been focusing on his role as starting fullback and defensive end for his high school football team. The youngest member of the group, The name Plus One refers to the members of the group, plus God.
in the middle of bold part. There is no talk about the fifth member Jeremy Mhire.
Could you complete this part and inform me when it will be do ?
Thanks a lot,
God bless you,

Hello Walter Görlitz
I would ask whether it was possible for me to delete the user page history?
So that it looked like the user page history of an user who has not yet written anyting on his user page.
So it would look like this:
"Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name. In general, this page should be created and edited by User:Suitcivil133. If in doubt, please verify that "Suitcivil133" exists. Start the User:Suitcivil133 page Search for "User:Suitcivil133" in existing pages of namespace User. Look for pages within Wikipedia that link to this title.
Other reasons this message may be displayed:
If a page was recently created here, it may not yet be visible because of a delay in updating the database; wait a few minutes and try the purge function. Titles on Wikipedia are case sensitive except for the first character; please check alternative capitalizations and consider adding a redirect here to the correct title. If the page has been deleted, check the deletion log, and see Why was the page I created deleted?."
I hope you know what I mean.
Thank you very much.

Hi there. I've reverted all of your recent changes that removed football kits from articles. I agree that having the logo in the shirt isn't ideal, however the proper solution is not to just delete the entire kit from the article, it is to find the individual layer with the logo and edit that image to remove the logo. If you're unwilling or unable to do this, give me a list of images that have the logos in them and I will do the edits for you. Sven Manguard Wha? 04:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Last night was an unqualified mess. We both acted foolishly, and I personally have no desire to continue it. I'm withdrawing the AN/I case. What I'm going to do is I'm going to edit out the logos (when they're not PD), but leave in the PD Nike and Adidas logos. That will mean that each file will have a totally blank version and one with no non-free content but with logos. It's up to you and the people at the Wikiproject to decide which version to use.

My hundreds of edits to Wiki over the past six years have been entirely motivated by this desire which I believe conforms to my understanding of Wiki's purposes as well ), in my view Wiki are going to have a problem in the future as clearly ebooks are now a major publishing force and will grow even larger as indeed Wiki itself has replaced hard copy encyclopedias.But of course I accept your actions and will continue to support Wiki with edits in the future Kind Rgds Brian Ichthys58 ( talk) 18:02, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

As the founder and CEO of Gray Dot Records and Executive Producer of Third Day's first CD to be released on a national level, I think I have a very good overview of that time period. I have plenty of written documentation such as their original multi-year Recording Contract with Gray Dot if you care to see it. Do you have the original text that I posted. If so, please send me a copy so that I can correct what it wrong.

You realize that I emailed in the permission from his production team, right? They really wanted the previous photo to be removed since it is a very different image than this one. They worked hard with me to figure out what we need to for using another photo from their publicity (no words, watermarks, etc). I don't see anywhere in OTRS that the photo shouldn't be used until after OTRS team verifies what I already have verified (especially since it often takes 1 month). It's not like I'm someone new here who doesn't understand images like we commonly see. In any case, I appreciate all that you do to watch articles that aren't watched my many others but I think you did the wrong thing in this case. Royal broil 04:19, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
It says in the link you share on my page (rules about flag in infoboxes), that exceptions would be military battle infoboxes templates and infoboxes that include international competitions, such as FIFA World Cup or the Olympic Games.
So my question is, why doesn't it make sense to add a flag to a national team?! It is a team representing a nation in international sporting events, and it certainly adds more clarity. Also other sports have the flag present on the page, as well as several other national teams, not only for football, but for several other sports as well. From how I understand the rules, international sporting events, such as FIFA World Cup and the Olympics are exceptions to this rule, so why did you go and remove all the flags I added to the national teams? -- subzzee ( talk) 01:55, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi there I noticed that you undid the change I made to Arsène Wenger because Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain "started at Southampton". In case that you don't know, Theo Walcott started at Southampton as well. If you removed AOC which was added by me, then why would you not remove Theo Walcott at the same time?-- Miunouta ( talk) 20:55, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I understand the fact that AOC "started at Southampton", however, I'm afraid that your explanation doesn't make much sense to me. Please be more consistent when you edit next time. If you want remove AOC for that reason, then please remove Theo Walcott as well. And hopefully you did not remove AOC because the change was made by me. Thank you very much.-- Miunouta ( talk) 21:27, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Ok I'll do it. Thanks. -- Miunouta ( talk) 21:42, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm very confused I have to say. I really do not understand why you undid the change I made again? So you are saying that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain cannot be included because he "started at Southampton" but Theo Walcott should stay there even though he started at Southampton as well? Please give me a clear explanation on this. Thank you.-- Miunouta ( talk) 00:36, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. Thank you for your detailed explanation. I appreciate it. I do understand that a valid source is needed when an addition is made. However, it still doesn't explain very well why AOC has been removed for the reason that he "started at Southampton". Also, I found an article that might support the addition of AOC. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2193683/Arsene-Wenger-hails-new-generation-young-British-players.html If you still have problem with me listing AOC in the Arsene Wenger article, please find a verified Arsenal expert to prove that I am wrong. Thank you.-- Miunouta ( talk) 06:47, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I have read your comment about "[me] mucking about with" the Wenger article. For your information, I do know what I am doing. I'm putting my precious time into this article just to make it better and didn't expect it to be seen as "mucking about". My suggestion to some editor is that one should think twice before reverting a change that someone else has made with effort. Vandalism is a totally different case though.-- Miunouta ( talk) 07:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Can you explain what you mean by "unnecessary and distracting use of colour"? If anything, it needs to be something which engages readers, captures their attention and want to know something more about the MLS and its history. Bland is what it is now when you reverted it back to its original page. I'm sure there a probably market studies/reports on what captures attention.
To the rest of the world, football(soccer) may be number one sport, but it's "only" the 7th rated sport here in the US behind the NFL, Major League Baseball(MLB), NBA, NCAA Football, NCAA Basketball, and the NHL! Its TV viewership barely registers on television screens. Newspapers are barely covering it outside of the markets which host a team.
I wanted to take a few columns out of the table but, out of respect for the person who created it, I left them in. So, if you feel that the use of color takes away from someone wanting to satisfy their thirst for knowlege, then so be it.

That article has used yyyy-mm-dd for accessdates pretty consistently since they were introduced 2009-MAR-21. The MOS specifically allows ymd for accessdates. Abbreviating the publication dates is also specifically allowed. I think that full month names are important in the body, but just take up space in the ref section, but if you object to that, I have no objection to restoring the full month names, as that is how they were originally entered. There was no consistency in publication dates, all 3 formats were being used until today, and YMD is not an option for publication dates (acc to the MOS). -- JimWae ( talk) 23:25, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Walter!
My name is Paul & I'm the guy who made the changes to the BarlowGirl page you corrected last night.
I am quite aware of the need for accurate information here on Wikipedia as many people use it as a source of reference information. I therefore made the additions with this in mind. The information I compiled and added were based of actual transcripts of not only their final appearance which I have recorded and listened to repeatedly, but also made notes on purely for this purpose. I am a big fan of BarlowGirl and I, more than anyone, am the first to debunk any false stories, myths, or any other source of incorrect information.
The information on the fact of the track "Home For Christmas" where it is the only song their guitarist, Rebecca sings lead vocals is completely relevant, because as you would be aware of, she has a fear of not only of performing on stage, but being the "centre of attention" in a public situation (this was admitted by her sister Lauren on the bonus DVD included in the album "How Can We Be Silent" Premier Edition). As you would also be aware, Alyssa & Lauren were the only 2 who shared lead vocals on any given song, so the fact that Rebecca would even undertake lead vocals on any track is definitely newsworthy!
As for the addition of Beka Hardt's entry. As I explained, the girls themselves would be the first to admit that she has been the unsung "hero" of the band, sacrificing not only effort & time to the band, but also her dedication to her friend's general upkeep, with little or no recognition at all! (I know what that feels like!). There are other points I could also illustrate here, but I will spare you them for the sake of peace.
While I am not sure who you are, or by what authority you have to make these changes (whether you are even a part of Wikipedia), I think you should at lease exercise some sort of restraint in your attitude towards other's entries and at the very least, do additional research into the topics you so freely edit. As pointed out in the introduction to Wikipedia, it is not perfect and mistakes can happen, but to allow a single person to govern and edit it as their own will is not good! I believe that everyone has some source of correct information which they spend hours researching, compiling & entering for the benefit of others, but to have 1 single person come over and change everything to their "liking" is not only unfair, but discouraging to others future entries; it also creates ill will and eventually savage attacks, which as you know, is not the point of this website! (Leave that crap to Facebook * other "social" networks!)
While you, like the rest of us are more than entitled to your opinions, I would ask you to first stop & think before you change another person's entry, & undertake additional research before you hit your "delete" key. You might think you know everything here on Wikipedia, but please don't discount the fact that someone else might know more than you!
I am not here to pick a fight with you, or anyone else, but just because something is not relevant to you, doesn’t mean that it isn’t relevant to others; that is purely a matter of opinion!!
God bless & take care!

Sorry about getting back to this so late. I've been super busy with real life. I noticed that you undid my removal of unreferenced content in Seattle Sounders FC which is currently listed as a featured article. Your edit summary stated this: We don't remove material that can be referenced, we cite or tag it. The policy I'm familiar with, WP:V, clearly states the following: Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Editors are not required to add citations or tag unreferenced content. Where it not a featured article, I would have probably done that, but featured articles are necessarily held to a higher standard. Hence the removal. I appreciate you adding the correct citation when you reverted my removal, and more importantly your efforts to ensure that the quality level in featured articles remains high. -- SkotyWA T C 00:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Marc Muniesa is recovering from a knee surgery. He was not enrolled in La Liga, as can be seen on the official website ( http://www.lfp.es/temporada/fichaclubplantillas.aspx?IDParam=5). This information that he is the number 26 is wrong because in the Spanish league clubs use the numbers 1-25 on the regular squad. Muniesa is first team player and can not use numbers above 25. What's more, the number 26 is used by the defender Sergi Gómez, yes this player's B team ( http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2013/clubs/club=50080/squad/index.html).

Anyway I agree that newspapers can be used as I use them mainly as my sources for my Indian football pages but at the same time I know the evils of them. Henry is no exception as the Daily Mail came out today saying that the deal is not confirmed at all and that Henry may not actually go to Arsenal now. Who knows to be honest.

Oh and, as I am sure you have noticed, the MLS club articles are being updated a lot now that the MLS season is over and transactions are being done but it does worry me how their are Academy players being signed (like the ones at New York Red Bulls) and that there is no option to unlink the non-notable players on the current squad template. Now this is not to go against the squad template used in MLS articles as I actually think it is right for MLS articles due to MLS's rules like the HGP and Drafted players/Guest players but there really needs to be an option to unlink the non-notable players so they are not created pre-maturely.

Hi. I had this article on my watchlist and noticed this change of yours. I just got out of a discussion with another genre editor who uses Allmusic's sidebar as a source, trying to convince him to use of better sources if available. You said in your edit summary that Allmusic's genre "cloud" isnt reliable (as previously noted at WP:ALBUMS and RSN discussions), so could this be mentioned in a guideline somewhere?
