Open note to TPS My personal situation is probably going to change beginning in July with fewer hours devoted to Wikipedia. If there's any business I can take care of in the near term, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll probably go dark for a little while during a transition period then come back in a reduced contributor state. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:44, 28 June 2018 (UTC) I was just about to ask you about turning this blue --- if your situation changes and you would like to, let me know.

The fact was ... that Tammie Jo Shults (pictured), captain of Southwest Airlines Flight 1380, was one of the first female tactical fighter pilots in the US Navy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tammie Jo Shults. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Tammie Jo Shults), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

You deleted these revisions on the grounds that the synopsis was a copyright violation from the Arizona Daily Sun (full explanation below). The Arizona Daily Sun article pulled most of its content from the film's original press kit: https://dogwoof.app.box.com/s/yq1py8ebtic6jwyjt0xwww1qw9wvpx6i Could you reverse this deletion?

Bri, You have removed my entries about HENRY BERRY LOWRIE and LOWRIE WAR. You state it is because the site has NO content. That is WRONG! www.HenryBerryLowrie.com is an up and running site (7/26/18) that includes PAGES: LOWRIE WAR (that includes Video from AFTERSHOCK by IDMB about the Lowrie War & Books on the Lowrie War) Gallary (Photos) LINKS (to external pages --- Wikipedia and others) BOOKS (with several books on the subject - some out of copyright that are free to download) LOCAL (History of the area / the local Indians / Area Tourism) If this link is not working - and it should be - I TESTED IT, please contact me: suede_dickerson@outlook.com The LINKs you are deleting are DIRECTLY related to the subject: HENRY BERRY LOWRIE In advance, THANK YOU. Suede — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wreichel28 (talk • contribs) 01:17, 27 July 2018 (UTC) I didn't see the menus, sorry but it is not a "conventional" navigation system. BUT if this is your site, you shouldn't be adding links to it on Wikipedia. See WP:COI and WP:NOTPROMO. It would also be a violation of WP:COPYLINK as far as the YouTube videos hosted there: the videos state "Presented by the History Channel. They own all rights to this, and have the right to tell me to get rid of it if they so declare." Definitely not OK to link on Wikipedia. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:13, 27 July 2018 (UTC) Denials, denials Hi Bri. Re this response, you'll be amused by my lengthy exchange with a user who despite his protestations was ultimately checkuser-confirmed as a sock of the FFHypeTEAM brigade. I've never found a single one of their socks who has ever admitted to being paid. Here's another example. I could be wrong this time but... Best, Voceditenore (talk) 14:27, 31 July 2018 (UTC) American Bucking Bull Hi Bri, seems the only time I post here is when I'd like you to take a look at something. There should be a coffee club to catch up with friends! How is the Signpost going these days? Still looking for editors? I'm involved in Women in Red and Vital Articles right now. How much work does involvement in the newsletter take? But I did also come here to ask you take a look at this discussion on one of my articles. I'm not sure what's right. I did think it was a shame the editor did not at least attempt to collaborate with me before taking it to a merge board to request consensus. Do you have knowledge of splitting articles? Thanks in advance if you can weigh in just a bit. As usual, no problem if you feel this is not an area you can get involved in. The discussion is here [2]. Happy Hump Day! dawnleelynn(talk) 17:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC) Signpost is always looking for help! Right now really need people to adopt columns. But ad-hoc help gathering media mentions or copyediting is also a good way to start. Before I jump in at the bull-discussion, I'll watch the discussion. I'm not as passionate about splitting and merging as I was once; it seems that a lot of the value of categorization can be gained by placing categories on redirects, and multiple infoboxes can be displayed in one article. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:44, 1 August 2018 (UTC) Okay, sounds like a good plan. I'll ponder your information on Signpost and take a look; I could potentially find some time; perhaps it could be a good learning experience. There's only so much one can do at Vital Articles, and it's a never ending project. dawnleelynn(talk) 20:03, 1 August 2018 (UTC) August wikibreak To talkpage stalkers and especially The Signpost's newsroom and the E in C Kudpung, I'll be taking a wikibreak for most of August, starting in several days. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:59, 2 August 2018 (UTC) You deserve the break-thank you for your comments on my talk page. Best Regards, Barbara ✐  ✉ 21:53, 2 August 2018 (UTC) Needing help to understand what I'm doing wrong... Hi Bri: I noticed you were part of a thread conversation a few weeks ago about the KEN URBAN wikipedia page. Ken noticed that his page had just recently been tagged as having paid contributions. I worked with Ken and I update/correct his page as needed or as new interesting items happen in his public work life. My user profile has the disclosure that I worked for him. What more do I need to do? Also that tag says there "may" be cleanup needed "to maintain a neutral point of view." Any opinions about Ken and his work are cited as from media sources reviewing his plays. There is nothing I can see that belies a neutral point of view -- I am a writer who has been trained journalistically and I always write items like this for neutral point of view. Can you help me understand what I might be missing? Thank you! Johnmichaelkennedy (talk) 19:04, 3 August 2018 (UTC) I guess you are talking about Ken Urban and this edit placing {{Paid contributions}}? There is no hard-and-fast rule but we usually keep those POV tags until enough non-connected editors work on the article to alleviate concerns. I'd say after 3 or so editors come along and make substntial changes, it would be eligible for a review. Possibly less if there was major cleanup. this edit doesn't really count because it is just cleaning up citations, not dealing with actual article content. The article has some glaring structural issues such as claiming a Ph.D. for the subject without a citation, and eight awards without citations. This really is a consistent problem with articles written by connected editors. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:46, 3 August 2018 (UTC) Regrets My writing for the Signpost is seen as violating my topic ban. I have to back out. Best Regards, Barbara ✐  ✉ 02:32, 7 August 2018 (UTC) Oh, really? Not even the humor column? ☆ Bri (talk) 03:50, 7 August 2018 (UTC) Especially the Humour article. See my talk page for more info. Barbara ✐  ✉ 11:32, 7 August 2018 (UTC) I don't see any harm in this. In fact I think it's most appropriate. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:07, 7 August 2018 (UTC) Carl Jung off limits for a farce contribution ... facepalm ☆ Bri (talk) 15:53, 7 August 2018 (UTC) Bri and Kudpung, the problem was the list of links about sexuality in the templates (now deleted). Her topic ban is "human health and medical topics, including anatomy and sexuality, broadly construed". Creating joke templates about Freud and Jung is an odd way to respond to that. But in my post to Barbara about the ban, I said that I didn't want to interfere with the next Signpost: "I don't want to interfere with the next Signpost edition, but please don't write jokes related to human health for them again." There was no need for her to request deletion, although now that she has, it's better to leave things there.
