Villa Vizcaya, in Miami. I took this photo, as well as the others on this page. Plus about 20,000 or so others.

That's thank you, from A to Z (by word or language). Sometimes I'm not good about thanking folks who thank me for my aimless fiddling around on Wikipedia. So in case I do forget, this should cover it. If you'd like more words of appreciaton, find them here.

Hey, they even have translations of the classic My hovercraft is full of eels!

Here (and on my user page) are a few of the photos I've taken in my NRHP roadtrips. More to be found here.

Also, if you have an issue with me on Wikipedia, please comment here on Wikipedia. Not on Wikicommons, not on WikiVoyage, not on the Tardis Wikia. Here. Or not at all.

'Appam' edits

The 'Appam' page has a lot of religious connotations which were added after the recent announcement by Google to name its upcoming Android version after an Indian delicacy. This looks like a concerted effort from a community to associate this dish (Appam in general and Neyyappam in particular) to associate it with a particular community, which is totally unacceptable. This so-called historian named Achaya make a lot of such claims that are baseless. Please don;t take that as the be-all and end-all of the food history of India. I am removing those religious connotations again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiguywho (talk • contribs) 07:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Do not remove sourced content. If you disagree with what is present, provide reliable sources to refute it. Also, discuss your changes on the article talk page, not on user pages. Continuing to remove sourced content will likely get you blocked. And if you are the IP 129.137.165.248 or associated with them, that is considered sockpuppetry and/or meatpuppetry, which can also get you blocked. Thank you. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - State of the Union ‖ 07:43, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

User Wikiguywho is continuously removing sourced content from the pages Appam and Neyyappam. Please do the needful and rescue the articles. 165.225.104.75 (talk) 10:32, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Please report your concerns to the appropriate noticeboard. Probably the edit-warring one. Thanks. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 18:47, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Some audio.

Can we please add some to Lucy Liu, Simon Pegg & Katie Leung? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.173.83 (talk) 17:51, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Why? --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 18:28, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

Because i like audio. Also why didnt i get a notification from you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.173.83 (talk) 21:31, 11 June 2016 (UTC)

About what? --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 04:53, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

About the audio. Its just that whenever someone leaves me a message i always get an orange note on the top of the screen telling me i have a message but it didn't tell me on this occasion.

Anyway i do like audio so can you add some audio to Simon Pegg, Lucy Liu & Katie Leung? Or do you have to ask someone else to do it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.162.13 (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

You can do so yourself. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 18:16, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Kevin Sorbo Mythica Godslayer

Hi, Ebyabe, just to inform you, the Godslayer film is in post-production, and its Kickstarter fully funded (even having 10 days left now). Thanks!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5327922/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arrowstorm/mythica-5-the-godslayer/?ref=Website

Ok, then just add the kickstarter link as a ref, since imdb is not considered a reliable source. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 02:44, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Sock of Who R U?

Hi No disrespect intended but I took the liberty of reverting and marking as vandalism three edits by yet another sock of User:Who R U?. Regards,   Aloha27  talk  12:13, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

@Aloha27: I appreciate your help. I often wonder if vandals like that really think they are right and the rules don't apply to them, or they are just being a**h***s. Ultimately, the effect is the same. Cheers! --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - General Health ‖ 18:42, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Accusation of edit warring

Dear Ebyabe: I received a notification of alleged edit warring on the article for Luby's Shooting. Please note that my original edit was done factually and it added to the story, but it was almost immediately removed with the edit statement that certain facts were wrong. I researched it and discovered that I was correct, and unedited that. Then, my edit was undone by a person with only an IP address, 67.149.186.215, which I assumed was not a registered user. I chalked it up to vandalism, and unedited it. That user then repeatedly undid my edits. I assumed, as stated that it was continued vandalism by an unregistered user. I was ready to report the user with IP 67.149.186.215, but they stopped undoing my edits, so I chose to leave it alone. Now I see they are the ones who are reporting me. If the user had at least attempted to resolve the issue by contacting me on my Talk page, I would have considered their view and attempted some resolution. However, I was never contacted by the unregistered user with the IP address of 67.149.186.215 to resolve the issue, which lead me to further believe it was the work of a passing vandal. Thank you.

@Rural Legend~enwiki: I was just notifying you b/c the person who reported you didn't, like they were supposed to. I'm not for or against either one of your edits. I hope you all can work it out. Cheers. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Attract and Repel ‖ 21:00, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Sofía Vergara's nationality

"Colombian-American" implies she was born an American of Colombian heritage, it's better to use "Colombian-born American" since she was born in Colombia and acquired American citizenship through natrualization. Now, why do you keep reverting it every time someone changes it to "Colombian-born American"?70.117.93.249 (talk) 23:52, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

She holds Colombian citizenship, so Colombian-American is correct. People can read the rest of the article to see where she was born. Also, I am not the only one that has reverted this change. You might want to ask everyone else why they are doing it too. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 00:08, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Community Farmers Markets in Tampa, Florida

Community farmers markets are a distinct part of Tampa culture and a unique feature of Tampa. Each farmers market in Tampa reflects the area's charm with locally produced specialties — such as fruits, vegetables, nursery stock and other products — for sale directly to the public. Each retail farmers market in Tampa is independent and establishes its own vendor rules and regulations.<ref>Rodriguez, Jose. Division of Marketing & Development, [http://www.freshfromflorida.com/Consumer-Resources/Buy-Fresh-From-Florida/Community-Farmers-Markets "Community farmers markets"], ''Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services''.

Well, (a) that's almost a word for word copy from that reference, which is considered a copyright violation and (b) all you did was replace the word 'Florida' with 'Tampa'. Nothing in the source says anything about Tampa's farmers markets, or Tallahassee's, or Miami's, or any other Florida city. Again, this is the kind of material that is more apropos for WikiVoyage, not Wikipedia. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Inspector General ‖ 02:20, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

OK that's more of what I needed to know. I'll wait till there's better sources then, thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthonyjsansone (talk • contribs) 02:28, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I have opened a discussion at Talk:Tampa, Florida. Please feel free to continue the conversation there. Thanks. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - General Health ‖ 02:51, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

No one should have to put up with the ridiculous BS you went through. Take care.

Sro23 (talk) 09:14, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Actually, I find it amusing. It also appealed to my Don Quixote side. And 'ian rose', where the frack did he get that from? I know we're supposed to assume good faith, but child seriously needs to get back on their meds. Cheers.  :) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 09:55, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Spider-Man in Film (Cannon Films)

What the hell did you just do, I added info so that it could be true than any Wikipedia member could just revert it back to as it, as Ted Newsom corrected the info before, and I added some which I got from Ted Newsom, so I could add it in so it could be true.
