Just wondering why you reverted my recent edits on the Moncton New Brunswick article.
The edits were minor, and if you look back on the history of this article I think you will find that I have been the principle contributor for the Moncton article. Most of my work was back in 2007 & 2008, but I go back once or twice a year just to ensure things are still accurate. Things do change over time. The purpose of my edits this time were to correct syntax (in one case) and to update information on the page. For example, the Dieppe Commandos hockey team have moved to Edmundston for the upcoming season, and Crandall University is no longer in expansion mode. Information like this need to be kept current. Again, if you look at my edit history I think you will find that I am not a vandal. My intentions to this article are purely honourable.
Thanks for your attention to this matter. MonctonRad ( talk) 23:44, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

Using this theory, all of the photos below it should be above it as it was the furthers item down the page. For example, the flood of 1961 was along Crooked Creek and it has since been dammed up to form Lake Harrison thus the supporting image was provided. Also, the Buffalo River photo would be above it due to the river being designated a National Park in 1972 and the headquarters for the river are in Harrison.

The edits you—and others—are making to Oscar Munoz (executive) are simply non-encyclopdic. My addition of the “Controversy” section is an attempt to present the basic facts as stated without getting into alarmist, non-encyclopedic edit warring. Nothing that I posted paints the person in question in a positive light. Adding tabloid-like details—like you are other editors are doing—does nothing to add to the credibility of the claims. I will continue to edit the page—and related pages—for this kind of tone/tenor as I see fit. At the end of the day we all agree: What happened was horrible. But for Wikipedia these horrific facts need to be presented in a clear, neutral and verifiable way. Simple as that. -- SpyMagician ( talk) 14:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Cities, towns, and just about every article using the settlement template almost all have text similar to “according to the Census” without ever bothering to show what those statistical areas include. [1] Fairfax County alone has a similar budget to the entire state of Montana. Knowing what is included in a statistical area can radically change how accurately people compare areas. Enough with the war on maps. Your most common complaint is that the maps are “overpowering.” While that is not true, if it were true you could easily fix the situation by adding to the text.

So what is your suggestion as far as how to handle the vast difference between the U.K. locomotive suspension system shows in the image and labeled "Flexicoil suspension" and actual EMD flexicoil locomotive trucks found on EMD locomotives in their country of origin? In the U.S. our locomotives are mounted on trucks that are the entire chassis/suspension/drive system for the locomotive. We don't refer to a "Flexicoil suspension" and certainly don't apply it to any truck design that happens to have coil springs, which appears to be the custom in the U.K. If you'd like I can remove the entire article since its basically all garbage. Certainly I don't claim to be as knowledgeable about locomotives as long-time Wikipedia editors, but I did work on them for a few years as a Union Pacific locomotive machinist at the largest rail classification yard and diesel locomotive repair/maintenance/service facility in the world.

Hi Magnolia677,
I wanted to thank you for your vigilance, but I was hoping to ask for your reconsideration of one of your reverts on the Long Beach, California page...
I understand your concern for most of my additions (which may have been under a different IP address and almost certainly related to Wikitravel-like topics), but I was wondering if it would be more appropriate to have been more selective when choosing information to remove.
I tried my best to reorganize the section to more tightly follow a logical flow, despite referring to places outside of the city. Do you think any of that writing could be salvaged? 134.139.228.65 ( talk) 04:21, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Sorry for hijacking your talkpage. I'll wrap it up. My only comment to you directly, Magniola677, is that the next time you
tag-team, please do a little actual research --it's very frustrating to deal with a comment such as I also attempted to clean up this article by looking for the words "Great Falls" on all the target articles, and just two movie articles mention the city
-- using WP as a source for WP is not exactly research. I sourced most of the items on the list from two simple websites (both sponsored by a responsible entity), deleted those that weren't, left comments on the gray area ones, and my editing colleague went in and improved the sourcing further. Bottom line, I respect that you are a
solid content creator, so I suspect you know that it takes time and effort to curate a large watchlist. The standard is not to remove everything simply because it is unsourced (in which case, we'd delete 3/4 of the encyclopedia, I fear) and
WP:V does not mandate removal solely for being unsourced... "...any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."
(emphasis added). In other words, there is
WP:NODEADLINE. And with that, I'm done.

He is in fact from Bunkie, May 17th will actually be named Isiah Warner day as he is speaking at their high school graduation. The additions I made were made with supporting sources for proof. The statements made were purely factual and had no personal feelings added to them. So how is that a conflict of interest? There are people on the Notable People section that merely presided in Bunkie, not from there. It is a fact that he is from there, his awards and honors are facts.

Hello. Thanks for your explaining your edit on removing the Falls Church "Controversy" section. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Falls_Church,_Virginia&oldid=779510770) I appreciate it. I understand now that putting in every protest doesn't merit inclusion in Wikipedia, and that's not what I'm aiming for. It seems, however, that the clinic has gained regional notability for attracting protests, over many years, and that has become a feature of Falls Church itself. Yes, protests happen in every city every day, but this center is a particularly noteworthy flashpoint of ongoing controversy. So, to avoid an edit-revert war, is there a way to note the clinic's notability without cataloging the day-to-day protests? I'd welcome your thoughts. Thanks.

The article on Hank Thomas is an example of out of control POV pushing with no sources and coat racking. The meat of the article is a description of the events in Anniston, most of which does not involve Thomas at all. This clearly belongs in an article on the Freedom Rides.

I want to know why my example in the "In Popular Culture" section of the definition of "flibbertigibbet," which you removed almost as soon as I added it, wasn't as valid as any other example. It was a line in Charlotte's Web, spoken by the goose. I'll put it back as many times as I have to, unless you can prove to me that the goose didn't say it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.66.178 ( talk) 16:57, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

The edits you—and others—are making to Oscar Munoz (executive) are simply non-encyclopdic. My addition of the “Controversy” section is an attempt to present the basic facts as stated without getting into alarmist, non-encyclopedic edit warring. Nothing that I posted paints the person in question in a positive light. Adding tabloid-like details—like you are other editors are doing—does nothing to add to the credibility of the claims. I will continue to edit the page—and related pages—for this kind of tone/tenor as I see fit. At the end of the day we all agree: What happened was horrible. But for Wikipedia these horrific facts need to be presented in a clear, neutral and verifiable way. Simple as that. -- SpyMagician ( talk) 14:23, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Here is the source that confirms that it was NOT overbooking: [1] From the above source: "United required the seats on the Chicago plane to accommodate several crew members who needed to get to Louisville to avoid canceling other flights, spokesman Charles Hobart said. The flight wasn’t oversold, he said." also from the same source: " United said initially that the flight was overbooked, its staff chose him and he didn’t want to get bumped. The airline later said it needed room for its own employees to get to another flight." 40.139.55.99 ( talk) 19:03, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Good morning, this is Claire C, Tyler Bryant, other know as Velous Music assistant. I have tried to make several edits on Velous's Wikipedia page which in turn gets changed back. I understand that an artist can not have control of their own page and you decide what goes up on his page and what comes down. He has a lot of work from the past 2 to 3 years that isn't accounted for on his Wikipedia page. I would like to know how we go about working with you from here on out in order to give you up to date and accurate information about Velous Music.

Cities, towns, and just about every article using the settlement template almost all have text similar to “according to the Census” without ever bothering to show what those statistical areas include. [1] Fairfax County alone has a similar budget to the entire state of Montana. Knowing what is included in a statistical area can radically change how accurately people compare areas. Enough with the war on maps. Your most common complaint is that the maps are “overpowering.” While that is not true, if it were true you could easily fix the situation by adding to the text.

Hi, Magnolia. I just noticed your recent changes on the above article and thank you. Typically promoting stuff found on many non public school articles. One thing tho. If you will notice, the descriptions in the Notables section are sentence fragments (which is fine), not sentences, and as such they should not end in a period.

I have asked you several times now, but you continue to post notes on my Talk page, routinely scolding me for edits I have made on articles. Those articles have their own Talk pages where such discussions are more suitable. And the discussions are usually very lengthy there, including comments by editors on both sides of an issue. Some agree with you; some agree with me.
I promise not to start scolding you for edits, or to repeat complaints others have posted about your edits on your Talk page or to repeat edit warring warnings you have received. In return, please stop doing so on my Talk page. Peter K Burian ( talk) 16:11, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

Do I need to cite a source to support the change of state of liquid water into steam aka water vapor? Water is the universal solvent and by far the most commonly used solvent for vapor degreasing. Surely you're familiar with steam cleaners? Maybe you're not but I am.

So what is your suggestion as far as how to handle the vast difference between the U.K. locomotive suspension system shows in the image and labeled "Flexicoil suspension" and actual EMD flexicoil locomotive trucks found on EMD locomotives in their country of origin? In the U.S. our locomotives are mounted on trucks that are the entire chassis/suspension/drive system for the locomotive. We don't refer to a "Flexicoil suspension" and certainly don't apply it to any truck design that happens to have coil springs, which appears to be the custom in the U.K. If you'd like I can remove the entire article since its basically all garbage. Certainly I don't claim to be as knowledgeable about locomotives as long-time Wikipedia editors, but I did work on them for a few years as a Union Pacific locomotive machinist at the largest rail classification yard and diesel locomotive repair/maintenance/service facility in the world. Has anyone checked to see if use of "Flexicoil" violates any EMD trademarks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.234.100.60 ( talk) 02:22, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Magnolia677,
I wanted to thank you for your vigilance, but I was hoping to ask for your reconsideration of one of your reverts on the Long Beach, California page...
I understand your concern for most of my additions (which may have been under a different IP address and almost certainly related to Wikitravel-like topics), but I was wondering if it would be more appropriate to have been more selective when choosing information to remove.
I tried my best to reorganize the section to more tightly follow a logical flow, despite referring to places outside of the city. Do you think any of that writing could be salvaged? 134.139.228.65 ( talk) 04:21, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. I will work on the corrections/updates to Temple when time allows.
For crying out loud, you know better than to just do a superficial search as on Great Falls, Montana. Thank you ever so much for wasting my time. Next time, put out a little effort before dogpiling with inadequate research. Thank you for wasting a half hour of my time. Montanabw (talk) 01:00, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Sorry for hijacking your talkpage. I'll wrap it up. My only comment to you directly, Magniola677, is that the next time you
tag-team, please do a little actual research --it's very frustrating to deal with a comment such as I also attempted to clean up this article by looking for the words "Great Falls" on all the target articles, and just two movie articles mention the city
-- using WP as a source for WP is not exactly research. I sourced most of the items on the list from two simple websites (both sponsored by a responsible entity), deleted those that weren't, left comments on the gray area ones, and my editing colleague went in and improved the sourcing further. Bottom line, I respect that you are a
solid content creator, so I suspect you know that it takes time and effort to curate a large watchlist. The standard is not to remove everything simply because it is unsourced (in which case, we'd delete 3/4 of the encyclopedia, I fear) and
WP:V does not mandate removal solely for being unsourced... "...any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."
(emphasis added). In other words, there is
WP:NODEADLINE. And with that, I'm done.

Yes, I do attend the school that Isiah M. Warner teaches at, however my additions have nothing to do with my personal feelings or any conflict of interest. He is in fact from Bunkie, May 17th will actually be named Isiah Warner day as he is speaking at their high school graduation. The additions I made were made with supporting sources for proof. The statements made were purely factual and had no personal feelings added to them. So how is that a conflict of interest? There are people on the Notable People section that merely presided in Bunkie, not from there. It is a fact that he is from there, his awards and honors are facts. Why would you revert when everything written was a fact? You asked me to look at the criteria for Notability and I have:

Hello. Thanks for your explaining your edit on removing the Falls Church "Controversy" section. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Falls_Church,_Virginia&oldid=779510770) I appreciate it. I understand now that putting in every protest doesn't merit inclusion in Wikipedia, and that's not what I'm aiming for. It seems, however, that the clinic has gained regional notability for attracting protests, over many years, and that has become a feature of Falls Church itself. Yes, protests happen in every city every day, but this center is a particularly noteworthy flashpoint of ongoing controversy. So, to avoid an edit-revert war, is there a way to note the clinic's notability without cataloging the day-to-day protests? I'd welcome your thoughts. Thanks.

Thank you for being diligent in fact and citation checking my updates to the Toronto Fire Services page.
The reason that I listed no formal citation is that I am updating with the latest information, for which I am the actual source. I am the Toronto Fire Chief and can confirm that what I loaded to the page is both accurate and correct.
I respectfully request that you undo the reversion as the page is now displaying outdated and inaccurate information once again.
Thanks,

The article on Hank Thomas is an example of out of control POV pushing with no sources and coat racking. The meat of the article is a description of the events in Anniston, most of which does not involve Thomas at all. This clearly belongs in an article on the Freedom Rides. Just being one of the Freedom Riders is not in and of itself a mark of notability. Nor is Thomas's later level of business ownership. The article also has too many uncited lines to be very helpful. I would recommend nominating it for deletion. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:15, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
