User talk:842U

Hi 842U,

I am not sure if this is the best way to contact you, but I am new to navigating this part of wikipedia. I want to ask for your permission to reproduce the image you contributed for the entry on the Ha-ha Wall. The reproduction is for a piece of academic writing where the wall is an analogy for the different perceptions of a problem by a teacher and a pupil. I have modified the image slightly to increase the distance between the figure and the wall to more effectively impress the idea that the obstruction is not visible from their perspective (further irritating and alienating the pupil in my analogy). If you consent then I would also ask how you would like to be credited in my references.

Cheers, Will

Barnstar

Well I know how tempting it can be to just walk away from an argument, especially one against a stubborn mule -- and sometimes walking away is the right thing to do, but I think the MoS over-reactions in this case merited your continued arguing and hopefully common sense will prevail in the end. So thanks, "on behalf of the project", for not taking the easy way out. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 00:19, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

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. Courcelles (talk) 02:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

GA review for Chicken tax

Hi, I placed the article on hold with a major complaint about US-centrism and recentism. I am hoping you will be able to address the issue -- the article is truly fascinating! Renata (talk) 02:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

• I added a note on sources following Renata's review (perhaps too much hair-plucking for a GA). East of Borschov 09:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Jimmy John's

VERY nicely done. I have no argument with that inclusion. It's short, to the point, and proves it's notability. The sponsorships were a good deletion, as well.

Thanx

Hey, thanx for the ‘I Am’ and ‘Art Of Racing In The Rain’ pages, it’s good to see them there.

I also see from his 'talk' page with the Honda Super Cub you've had the same probs with the user Dennis Bratland (talk) that other people have had with him only thinking that own his edits are any good and no-one else's are - talk about ownership issues.

and i notice he's doing it again here – BMW R1100GS (BMW R1100GS) - so maybe for the good of Wikipedia we should contribute to this noticeboard discussion. It seems to me he's in the wrong yet again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.254.173.13 (talk) 10:31, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to 842U. He knows why. BsBsBs (talk) 13:34, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Morris Levy

Do you have a source for the edit where you added Cynthia Brooks as a wife of Morris Levy? Or that he divorced her in 1961? 842U (talk) 12:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

There are a couple of citations in the article and there are dozens digitally searchable references to Cynthia Brooks (born approximately 1933) marrying and divorcing Morris Levy. But the sources are syndicated columnists, not primary documents, such as marriage license or divorce court indices. One article pre-announced their impending marriage to take place on 15 September 1957 aboard Morris' yacht, off of Long Island;¹ another article stated that Brooks divorced William Dougherty (club owner of Chicago) to marry Levy;⁴ another article announced the filing for divorce in April 1959; yet another announced them dating again in 1960.² There's also a 1957 article saying that Levy denied the rumor of his impending marriage to Brooks.³

Before marrying Levy, Brooks had married and divorced Rudi Maugeri (né Rudolph V Maugeri; born 1931) (vocalist with The Crew-Cuts). They had met in Vegas and married in Chicago. Brooks worked as a chorus girl at the El Rancho Vegas. She also was under contract at 20th Century Fox, appearing in Follow the Sun (1951) and Westward Ho, The Women (1952).

Published gossip columns state that Brooks, in 1958 and 1959, dated Joe E. Lewis and Lance Reventlow.

Brooks appeared in several pinup mags, including Show (January 1956) and Bold (August 1956; back cover); and a few mainstream mags, particularly Life (Every Man's Miss Brooks, March 1957, pg. 51 — photographer: Peter Stackpole).

I have not done much work on Levy. Give me some time to do some digging. — Eurodog (talk) 23:21, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Editors warning

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that 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. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
