I know for a fact that hurricane Irene was way more damaging than hurricane sandy as sandy didn't damage it nearly as much

How can i change my username for my wiki page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeGrasMusic (talk • contribs) 15:43, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

@LeGrasMusic: See Wikipedia:Changing username. However, you should write about something else. Toddst1 (talk) 15:44, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think my edit was vandalism, I've actually removed vandalism... 95.49.35.135 (talk) 16:56, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

You say that you took down my edit on "Attack On Titan" because you thought it did not seem constructive or whatever. Let me say this: my edit filled in some details that the original plot on that page left out. And if you think I don't know what I'm talking about, I have been an active reader of the Attack On Titan manga since it began. So let me ask you this again: Just what part of my edit is not constructive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asianpeng8 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

I may have been wrong. Toddst1 (talk) 06:32, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry about the mess I made, it was not my intention to remove anything at all. In fact, all I wanted to do was change one or two words, and then go and get some refs to expand the article, because what I saw didn't include all the stuff you restored. All I can imagine is that I EC'd with someone. Thanks for fixing it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:35, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

It *did* seem a bit out of context character for you, but I'm all for being BOLD once in a while. Toddst1 (talk) 20:38, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

I just figured it out. I had forgotten that I was looking at an older version of the page, and edited (and saved) it, thus deleting everything that had been added since. My bad, and thanks again. Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:40, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm trying to decide if you need a barnstar or a bottle of Scotch. Thank you for your leadership with this one. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:09, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

I'd prefer the scotch. :) Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 00:22, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Paul Thelen

The Bio page for me was originally done by some venture capital instestor. I updated the page a few times to keep it up to date. It looks like that flagged it for a COI. While i am obviously conflicted, the material is not as it is fairly dry and factual. Do you have any suggestions on how to have this page rewritten by an editor without a COI? Paul Paulthelen (talk) 19:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC) February 13, 2017

@Paulthelen: I recommend you comment on the talk page and refrain from editing the article. Toddst1 (talk) 19:53, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

The problem is that the section in question doesn't present the opinion pieces it cites as statements of opinion; it presents it as statements of fact (ie, saying "this is what her talk consisted of.") An opinion piece cannot be used to support a statement of fact, even outside a BLP; but using it in a BLP is erogenous enough that I felt it had to be removed immediately. Please do not restore it; as written, it's an extremely unambiguous WP:BLP violation (which is why I removed it again before coming here to explain; BLPs are sensitive enough that we have to err on the side of caution.) If her speech actually consisted of what those opinion pieces claim, it should be easy to find higher-quality, non-opinion-pieces stating those facts. --Aquillion (talk) 20:20, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Ok. I'll buy that. Toddst1 (talk) 20:23, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Edits to Rodney Frelinghuysen Article

Hello Toddst1 -- I am responding to your message, which is reproduced below, regarding my edits to the Rodney Frelinghuysen page. While I agree that wikipedia articles should have a neutral point of view, I strongly disagree with the removal of my edit from the page. My edit was factual in nature and did not misrepresent any facts or statements. Rodney Freylinghuysen has not held a town hall meeting with his constituents in more than three years and has not yet announced that he will have a town hall meeting despite the repeated demands of his constituents. I cited to a reputable newspaper article for the paper of record in Morris County, NJ, which is Mr. Frelinghuysen's district. There was nothing factually inaccurate about this edit. In fact, by removing that edit, I believe that you are the one that has made a less than neutral edit on the page. Facts are, by definition, neutral. If I edited Ted Bundy's page to say he was a convicted serial killer, I do not think that edit would be reverted for lack of neutrality. The edit I made and the link that I provided as a reference are accurate and factual.

Ah. I see you're here to set the facts straight about things. Toddst1 (talk) 21:41, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

You then sent me to a link that says that "on Wikipedia, you’ll have to wait until it’s been reported in mainstream media or published in books from reputable publishing houses." That is exactly what I did -- the Daily Record is the "mainstream media" in Morris County. However, in the spirit of compromise, I will proposed the following edit, linking to the same article, "Mr. Freylinghuysen has not held a town hall meeting in more than three years."

I'm guessing you didn't vote for him. Toddst1 (talk) 21:49, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

My personal voting preference is irrelevant and further makes me question the purported "neutrality" of your edit. Dmoses816 (talk) 21:51, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Question all you want. My point is you obviously don't understand our five pillars - especially the one about not coming here to "get that SOB". Toddst1 (talk) 21:52, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. I have read the pillars and are quite familiar with them. I made a factual edit with proper sourcing to a reputable news outline. Understanding your concern about neutrality, I have since made it even more overtly factual and even more devoid of any opinion or statement, and have added an additional citation to the New York Times. If you believe this most recent edit remains suspect, I would ask you to further explain to me why, particularly when his page also mentions things such as him chasing down a pick pocketer

Dmoses816 (talk) 22:02, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Good. Now ask yourself why that article is subject to pending changes review - which is why I reviewed it. I've told you why I rejected it, now stop badgering me. Toddst1 (talk) 22:03, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

It is subject to changes pending review because you are refusing to allow people to post factual statements with the proper support due to your obvious political bias and prejudice. You are censoring the free flow of public information as a result of your obvious political leanings and bias. This is not why wikipedia was founded, and you are doing a disservice to the freedom of information everywhere.

Dmoses816 (talk) 22:58, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Yep. That's it. Now move along. Go argue with the next guy that reverts your pending change [1] for all the right reasons. Toddst1 (talk) 23:41, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Emily Wright

The discography section for Emily Wright was removed, a section that has been active for years. I went through and added a number of sources. Can you please elaborate how these are not valid?68.9.114.97 (talk) 20:08, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Unsourced and unverifiable. WP:BURDEN says it's your problem. Toddst1 (talk) 20:09, 14 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Nihonjoe. I noticed that you made a comment that didn't seem very civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. See this edit. Please do not act without good faith like this.
