I can't seem to edit the discussion page of the Bieber article, and you have, so I thought I'd share this with you to add to the talk page. Basically, I think it should be noted in some way that Bieber does not write the majority of his music, as is implied by the article. In fact, most of his most popular songs were written by others, According to the THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF COMPOSERS, AUTHORS AND PUBLISHERS website (see the list of writers for the song One Time here: http://ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=750420905&search_in=i&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1) Songs written by Bieber include Common Denominator and that one about his dad that I forget the name of.

Why are you continuing to mislead your readers with the following statement, "the only Slavic language spoken in the family is Ukrainian". You bury the truth,
In the book Gretzky by Jim Taylor and Walter Gretzky (pg.49), "...until Phyllis (Wayne's mother) arrived Mom (Walter Gretzky's mother) couldn't speak English very well, only Polish and Ukrainian....But Mom never forgot her Polish background".

Hi, Neil. Thanks for your note. I'm a bit vague on the policy. At WP:ELNO, the policy disallows "links to web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services," as this site that sells dissertations does. Is the policy actually less strict for footnote references? I'm not sure that a footnote could link to an Amazon page that sells a book, for example. If you could help me with any clarification or point me to the pertinent cite policy, that would be great. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 02:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

(deindent) As noted on Jimbo's page, one very plausible reason for the decline is because all the "easy stuff" has been written about. Also, sourcing, notability, and BLP guideines are much stricter now. In many cases, you can't just spend five minutes adding content to an article and expect it to stay. Other editors will be looking for sourcing, NPOV, and notability and if they don't find it, revert the edit. This discourages the casual contributor who just wants to add a piece of info they "know is right". -- NeilN talk to me 23:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Wiki Historian N OH ( talk) 22:40, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
On the advice of Black Kite] I was wondering if you could revert the last two edits made to the Marysville, Ohio page. The edits are reverts from Wiki Historian N OH and concern the building and opening of businesses like Walmart, Lowes and some pizza chains and such. Clearly not notable and not needed. The other one is the re-addition of a picture (unlicensed to the page and inappropriate even if it was) of William Henry Harrison. I don't think either of these edits are needed on the page as they are inappropriate and one is WP:OR. If you can, I would appreciate it. If you wish to stay out of the mudpuddle of a page this has become, I completely understand. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 22:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Neil,
I have a question regarding an article I have worked on periodically, "Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York." A user has created a Notable Residents section in which extensive information on someone named Stella Marrs was added. If this person in fact meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines (I doubt it), shouldn't all this info be transferred to a separate article under her name?
Thanks so much for your advice, Sinecostan ( talk) 07:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Neil,
If you don't mind my asking, I have other bothersome issues with "Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York." Not too long ago, a user edited the History section with some highly controversial information regarding "white flight" and the racial composition of the community. Only one article is listed as attribution, which I suspect is insufficient in regard to recent events of this nature. Furthermore, looking at the stated source, I feel that the Times article has been plagiarized. And then? The user then went right into info about the water tower, which makes no sense in that location.
Perhaps I am way off track here. Please set me straight. Sinecostan ( talk) 19:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I recently join Wikipedia community because I found opinion instead of factual information when editing the definition and ideas that encompass the word "Architecture".
In the Architecture Today section under the word Architecture it states:
"With the advancement of technology, an architect needs to be more versed with the computer. CAD, or computer aided design, has taken over the field of architecture. there are fewer hand drawn drafts and more work work with software such as Autocad, Solid Works, Rhino, 3DS Max, Maya, and many others. These advancements are beginning to take away from the art within architecture. It is important to note that in history, bridges were designed by architects. But as the span grew larger, civil engineers had to take over to deliver a more precise design. Buildings are already designed by a team, and less by the architect themselves. It is a shame to think that we may lose true design because the result requires a team of mathematicians, rather than designers."
This is opinion. There is no citation here and there are no facts.
Especially here: "It is a shame to think that we may lose true design because the result requires a team of mathematicians, rather than designers."
Please address this issue.

Dear NeilN:
The page in question relies upon both newspaper articles -- i.e. Reuters -- and related court documents. The court documents are not merely allegations in complaints, but rather are opinions of the court and docket sheet. The addition to the Soros article is absolutely correct and properly documented/sourced.
I was suprised by the speed with which you removed the article. It appears to me that you have some sort of watch on the Soros article. What is your connection to Soros or interest in Soros?

Dear NealN:
Be this as it may, your wholesale removal of the Veil Piercing Section in the Soros Biography is vandalism. If you disagree with any substantive aspect of the section, you are certainly welcome to add any information you possess pertinent to the subject, but wholesale removal of the page is, I repeat, vandalism.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. MBisanz talk 02:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

It is public knowledge that Sarabeth Tucek was born in 1967 and graduated from Westfield High School in New jersey in 1984. User ghmyrtle repeatedly reoves this information from the page. Please explain what verifiable source is acceptable to add this relatively innocuous detail to the artist's page without being harassed by ghmyrtle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjo5650 ( talk • contribs) 18:52, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

My oversight with not using reference. So, so sorry. And I have successfully created and edited hundreds of Wiki pages so I am not going to go to discussion pages to see if people (like you) will approve them. I have had that exact type of new information added to many other legislators' websites. Thank you anyway. Myk60640 (talk) 23:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC) Myk60640 ( talk) 23:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to bring some balance to Gabrielle Giffords' page. Unfortunately it looks like some of your changes have already been undone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Gabrielle_Giffords&diff=prev&oldid=357083842, http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Gabrielle_Giffords&diff=prev&oldid=357083534) by the same person who was responsible for most of the problematic content in the first place ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Parallel_process)
Thanks again for your attention to this, and please do let me know if I'm approaching this incorrectly -- I am new to this!

I believe the portions of the Ted Strickland article you are reverting are of value and appropriate for the encyclopedia entry. I would appreciate a discussion of the article, rather than deletes. Of course, I welcome any useful and accurate additions that you would have. Parallel process ( talk) 03:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles such as Marysville, Ohio. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing. Please also read WP:CIVIL
Wiki Historian N OH ( talk) 22:40, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
On the advice of Black Kite] I was wondering if you could revert the last two edits made to the Marysville, Ohio page. The edits are reverts from Wiki Historian N OH and concern the building and opening of businesses like Walmart, Lowes and some pizza chains and such. Clearly not notable and not needed. The other one is the re-addition of a picture (unlicensed to the page and inappropriate even if it was) of William Henry Harrison. I don't think either of these edits are needed on the page as they are inappropriate and one is WP:OR. If you can, I would appreciate it. If you wish to stay out of the mudpuddle of a page this has become, I completely understand. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 22:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

You aren't fair at all are you Neil. Let me guess, you believe in evolution, don't you? Copernicus was up against the same type of bias.
Hi Neil -
Regarding my changes to the Perratta article, the linked web site clearly shows the evidence of the plagiarism Mr. Perratta committed. Do I just need to make web site a reference using Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the
help page). tags, or is the evidence not sufficient for the claims?
Thanks! c.

Neil,
I have a question regarding an article I have worked on periodically, "Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York." A user has created a Notable Residents section in which extensive information on someone named Stella Marrs was added. If this person in fact meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines (I doubt it), shouldn't all this info be transferred to a separate article under her name?
Thanks so much for your advice, Sinecostan ( talk) 07:22, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Neil,
If you don't mind my asking, I have other bothersome issues with "Hillcrest, Rockland County, New York." Not too long ago, a user edited the History section with some highly controversial information regarding "white flight" and the racial composition of the community. Only one article is listed as attribution, which I suspect is insufficient in regard to recent events of this nature. Furthermore, looking at the stated source, I feel that the Times article has been plagiarized. And then? The user then went right into info about the water tower, which makes no sense in that location.
Perhaps I am way off track here. Please set me straight. Sinecostan ( talk) 19:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
I recently join Wikipedia community because I found opinion instead of factual information when editing the definition and ideas that encompass the word "Architecture".
In the Architecture Today section under the word Architecture it states:
"With the advancement of technology, an architect needs to be more versed with the computer. CAD, or computer aided design, has taken over the field of architecture. there are fewer hand drawn drafts and more work work with software such as Autocad, Solid Works, Rhino, 3DS Max, Maya, and many others. These advancements are beginning to take away from the art within architecture. It is important to note that in history, bridges were designed by architects. But as the span grew larger, civil engineers had to take over to deliver a more precise design. Buildings are already designed by a team, and less by the architect themselves. It is a shame to think that we may lose true design because the result requires a team of mathematicians, rather than designers."
This is opinion. There is no citation here and there are no facts.
Especially here: "It is a shame to think that we may lose true design because the result requires a team of mathematicians, rather than designers."
Please address this issue.

Dear NeilN:
The page in question relies upon both newspaper articles -- i.e. Reuters -- and related court documents. The court documents are not merely allegations in complaints, but rather are opinions of the court and docket sheet. The addition to the Soros article is absolutely correct and properly documented/sourced.
I was suprised by the speed with which you removed the article. It appears to me that you have some sort of watch on the Soros article. What is your connection to Soros or interest in Soros?
Flipperwill
Dear NeilN.:
You state that you have no personal interest in this matter. It appears that you are a Wikipedia user rather than a employee of Wikipedia. Please confirm that this is so.
Thank you.

Dear NealN:
Be this as it may, your wholesale removal of the Veil Piercing Section in the Soros Biography is vandalism. If you disagree with any substantive aspect of the section, you are certainly welcome to add any information you possess pertinent to the subject, but wholesale removal of the page is, I repeat, vandalism.
Please let me know whether you have any quarrel with the substantive text in the Veil Piercing section.
Sincerely, Flipperwill —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flipperwill ( talk • contribs) 14:31, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Dear NeilN:
With all due respect, blanking is vandalism. Spacing is a petty issue. The real issue is why you want this article deleted when you have no quarrel with its substance.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. MBisanz talk 02:27, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
I received a notice, dated April 10, 2010, that I had vandalized Wikipedia, somehow. Could you tell me exactly how this conclusion was reached? All I have ever done is correct grammar, insert a few factoids about my favorite celebrities, and add a picture. I'm wondering if the picture was the problem. Maybe it had copyright issues that I was unaware of?
Thanks,

Dear Neil, I ve changed a section on the page "Republic of Ragusa" i.e. the names of the patrician families according to a most reliable source - a book published by the Croatian Acadamy od Science and Arts. I also cited the ISDN number. However, the user DIREKTOR reverted without any argument. That's vandalism. Could You please warn him and undo his vandalism? Thank You very much, Orsat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orsat ( talk • contribs) 23:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Dear Neil, I ve made some changes to the page "Republic of Ragusa" based on a book by the Croatian Academy of Science and even provided the ISBN. The user "DIREKTOR" is repeatedly reverting the edits to an older version which is wrong and inaccuarate. He doesn t even give a reason for his reverts. So please ban/block him.

I would like to know why you are changing portions of my edit of the Dr. Naismith entry. It is decently formatted with multiple citations to 'back-up' its information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.185.236 ( talk) 14:46, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
All of the citations have the same information. I'm fail to see how 3 sources saying the same thing with different monologues to the facts is an issue. I'm also shocked that Vermont Public radio, direct quotes from family contained in the aforementioned source and national news papers are not reliable sources, especially since I referenced a photograph in the works. Also box score news felt the authors were vetted enough to attach their name to Fosty's work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.185.236 ( talk) 15:10, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
