Fluid Intelligence

Cresix, please stop cancelling my edits on Fluid Intelligence. I cited 3 legit studies from respected journals. Without these citations, article doesn't represent full spectrum of current research. I did read the papers and cited most important ideas from them.

Cresix

Cresix, you stopped me from editing the American Catholics page. I was in the middle of writing down all the names I remember or STRONGLY suspect being Catholic, and THEN i was going to add the citations. For example, Matt Damon I suspect is Catholic because his wife and children are and he married her before she gave birth to their first baby....as a Catholic myself, I know how much the church hates births out of wedlock. (That, and I checked the IMDB page). Peter Dinklage attended an all Catholic boys school in New Jersey and has spoken in public about not havng gone to church in a while (he has lapsed a bit, but he is still a baptized and confirmed Catholic, all 3 and a half feet of him and I suspect his new daughter too.). Steven Tyler and Joe Perry: Joe Perry's sons spent most ofntheir childhood in a aboston suburb where about 80% of the town attends a Catholic church on Sundays; that, and his background is Italian and Portuguese:THERE IS ONLY ONE CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION IN THOSE LANDS. Steven Tyler's mother was a Caholic schoolteacher anf Steven attended that school as a boy.Lady Gaga has publicly confirmed she is a a Catholic and so has Kevin Smith. John Ford and Frank Capra were irish and Italian and decidedly not Protestants. John Bon Jovi had relatives that owned a funeral home down the street from the local parish in Raritan New Jersey, it was a Catholic funeral home and he has spoken publicly about it. Springsteen is the same.

Wyclef Jean I was wrong about and was going back to erase him, but then you erased everything I had done. I ask that you give me time to collect my sources before you erase next time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.218.103 (talk) 01:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Me personalising comments?

Not sure which comment you're referring to. I respond to idiotic and rude comments firmly, and will continue to do so. HiLo48 (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You would have to acknowledge that the comments to which I responded in a way you don't like WERE bad posts. Yes, I come on strong in response to stupidity and bad manners, but do please note the words "in response to". Had there been no stupid and rude posts, you wouldn't have seen those posts from me that offended your sensibilities. I'm assuming that the posts which led to my responses that you didn't like also led to you criticising those disruptive posters' on their Talk pages. HiLo48 (talk) 07:57, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simplified English

Cresix, I need to discuss the edits of the Reflist template on the Simplified English page with you. All references to Shufra should be removed, as they are a violation of Wikipedia COI. If you need verification from the ASD Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group on this matter, I can supply you with that. The Shufra references are spam that were included on that page as spam in order to direct people to a private business that is using the page to advertise its Simplified Technical English training services.

Tashir (historical region)

Hi, and thanks for your welcome message! Regarding your remarks on the necessity of adding reliable sources to the article I just created (Tashir (historical region), I am fully conscient of that, and actually did it, putting the article I got most of the information from in the References section. It comes from a scholarly publication, the author has his own wiki page (Cyril Toumanoff). I purposefully didn't rely on local (Armenian & Georgian) sources as they are fraught with nationalist bias. I hope this clears the matter; if I missed something or did not put the reference right, please mention it to me, I'll fix it...Susuman77 (talk) 19:01, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are right.

After looking at that particular wording, I think you are correct that the image should be nuked if it was only used for the biography article. However, as on the Hannity, Heraldo, Lawrence O'Donnell, and Rachel Maddow show logos, MHP's likeness is part of the show logo used to illustrate those shows. Logos are accepted as of this date.

Since the image has a legitimate rationale for the illustration of the show, then it seems to me that the second use in the biography article is acceptable. J JMesserly (talk) 00:11, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but there is an article for the show. See my rationale there: Talk:Melissa Harris-Perry (TV program). It depends on where the Free only WP content contingent want to draw the line. I think it is reasonable to use in in the bio article, if the Fair use rationale for the show article is correct. That is, I would think it fair to use the Hannity logo in the Hannity article if there weren't any free images of him. J JMesserly (talk) 00:39, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bedazzler

You removed a section of the Bedazzler article as "unsourced trivia". I think you're right, but you missed the previous slew of changes which altered the article into an advertisement for the "new owners" who seem to also own the account which did the changes (Sasgroup2012). I am going to restore the article to its prior state (including the section you removed): please keep an eye on it to help ensure that they don't hijack the article again: I'm going to suggest that they add their involvement rather than simply overwrite the previous history.

Deaf schools / schools for the deaf

I urge you to reconsider the reversion. If you say that "the people are deaf, not the school", then by your definition, we can't allow 'deaf social clubs', 'deaf culture' and so on. In any case, Belfastshane is actually correct - deaf people, teachers and sign language interpreters do refer those schools as "deaf schools". The Deaf community regard those schools as part of the Deaf community and its social network. Thank you for your time. 0zero9nine (talk) 07:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided not to revert your reversion as I thought a compromise via minor edits would be better. Thanks. 0zero9nine (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Griffith "Death" section content

Cresix, thanks for taking care of my edit request yesterday to the "Death" section on Andy Griffith. But a user just unnecessarily added a sentence back to the end of the paragraph about the death certificate and heart attack. Can you please delete it? The user apparently wasn't aware that issue was already resolved AND that the heart attack is already included in the first sentence. The sentence to be removed is: "On July 6, 2012, Griffith's death certificate was related and listed the cause of death as a heart attack.[51]" Thanks. --76.189.114.18 (talk) 13:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC) 13:29, 6 July 2012 (UTC) 13:31, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from Cflores29, you may also need to keep an eye on the IP users 108.196.86.132 and 68.4.7.52. Both are on different ISPs, but they operate exactly like Cflores29 with their make-believe information and piss-poor grammar. - Areaseven (talk) 15:15, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, my hunch was right. After using a different IP tracker, I discovered that both 108.196.86.132 and 68.4.7.52 are on the exact same location (Irvine, California). - Areaseven (talk) 07:37, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PROD on Young Critics Circle

I am challenging the PROD you made on Young Critics Circle. The article did have sources from major newspapers and television networks, which meet WP:NEWSORG. Right from the article's creation, I made sure that those independent news articles will be included in the first edit; it is only unfortunate that the organization doesn't have its own website or headquarters, but suffice it to say that it did receive extensive media coverage here in the Philippines. --- Tito Pao (talk) 02:41, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The list, i felt, was becoming overwhelmed with various actors, actresses, writers, directors who aren't as notable to claim. Some of the ones i kept may also be bit actors, but played memorable roles, such as Morgan Paull with Blade Runner. Rusted AutoParts 21:50, 3 August 2012 (UTC). :How was that an edit war? I reverted once. It's disgustingly bloated with scarcely notable persons. May be notable for an article, but not everyone should be listed, in my opinion.Rusted AutoParts 19:27, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Edits Removed

Hello,

I'm very new to this whole thing, and so I hope you'll help me how to do things correctly. I made some important edits last night to a page (Protandim) and they were removed (by you, I think?), saying that I didn't provide references, etc. One of the changes I made was to add information directly from www.PubMed.gov (the researching institutions and journals in which the studies were published), to information that was already written and referenced. Can you tell me how/if I need to reference it differently in that situation.

Another change that I made was to add some information and quotes directly from the companies website, and I don't know how to create the specific citation within the document to lead the reader directly to that information. Can you help me understand how to do that?

I also removed a section discussing Protandim's effect in a study that was not a Protandim study, as I found no mention of Protandim in the introduction or abstract of the reference cited, but I have since downloaded the entire study and see that Protandim is, in fact, cited, and so that was an error on my part, and I appreciate the 'removed edits frustration' that led me to read further into that study. Thank you.

And so, in short, I'd like to correctly reference/cite some necessary edits to the information in order to present a more accurate piece of information for readers, and would appreciate any direction you can give me in doing so.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely, 75.245.247.167 (talk) 17:41, 5 August 2012 (UTC) KJohnson[reply]

Just randomly noodling about, Cresix I'm quite impressed by this. Did you base this off a custom template or write the whole thing off the cuff just for the IP? I'm not much of a barnstar awarder but that looks like good work to me. :) Can't tell from the history either (at least as far as I'm inclined to click), did good content result also? Cheers!

New York College of Health Professions

My apologies if I am replying in the wrong place. I'm new to Wikipedia editing but trying to catch on to the ways things work. You had removed the "controversy" section I had edited in stating that it lacked a reliable source. I did include two (now three) links to external sites which include student feedback concerning the college. I am guessing that you feel those do not meet the requirements of reliable sources. If that is the case, do you have any recommendations as to what could constitute a reliable source for this type of situation? There are no legal documents or similar items to include as these issues are managed within the walls of the school (and on social media sites). The issue is integral to the future of both the school and the student body and needs to be visible. Any advice is appreciated. Ammendmentone (talk) 16:12, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing unreferenced entries from List of games with concealed rules

I note you recently removed some entries from List of games with concealed rules because they were unsourced, but you left a considerable number of similarly unsourced entries in. Any reason for the inconsistency? Are you planning on adding references to these, or should they perhaps be deleted as well? —Psychonaut (talk) 19:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First and foremost, removal of some unsourced information does not obligate anyone to remove ALL unsourced information. No one is expected to fix all of Wikipedia in one day. That said, if you look at the article's history and talk page, you will see that I am systematically removing unsourced items. I first removed those unsourced more than five years, then those more than four years, three years, and two year. I also remove any new unsourced items that are added so that this process of endless accumulation of unsourced information does not continue. I remind you that any unsourced material on Wikipedia can be removed per WP:V and WP:BRD. If you wish to restore an item, feel free to do so as long as you provide a reliable source. Cresix (talk) 19:12, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I was just trying to figure out if there was some method behind what you were doing, or if perhaps you had overlooked something. —Psychonaut (talk) 19:14, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Clint Eastwood

Hi Cresix. I saw you reverted my edits and the only reason you gave was "better." I'm sure you meant well, but that is very vague and of course subjective. And in the process of reverting the entire edit, instead of just a piece or two of it, you also removed two new, strong cites (from CNN and the LA Times), and added back an incomplete Washington Post cite that I took the time to complete (by adding the date, publisher and reporter's name, etc.). As well, you also added back a cite to a story (from the Wall Street journal) that was published before Eastwood's speech even happened. The last sentence had very odd phrasing ("comedic portion" and "addressed a vacant chair next to him"). Although it was strangely humorous of course, it wasn't a stand-up comedy routine. It was a presidential convention speech. And the chair reference should be direct ("spoke to an empty chair"), as Wikipedia encourages. I'm fine with not splitting it into a separate paragraph, but this was a very prominent event in Eastwood's life, which is evidenced by the fact that it has its own article. In fact, it should probably be expanded a bit in Eastwood's article. Almost everyone agrees that this will be the most-remembered speech of both conventions, and that Eastwood will be associated with an empty chair for the rest of his life. When making an edit, especially when it involves many different factors, it's usually best not to do a wholesale reversion, at least not without discussing it with the editor. (Unless of course it's clearly disruptive or vandalism.) It's like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Thanks. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 05:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added a characterization ("rambling") of Clintwood's monologue that was independently commented upon and reiterated in many major media outlets, and you've reverted it. Similarly, I included the NYT's quotes about the reception by Romney campaign staffers and Scott Walker's real time reaction to Clintwood's performance. These seem quite germane. They will certainly be remembered for a long time, given the prominence of his appearance and the viewership. His Superbowl halftime ad will also be remembered. The fact that it is rarely mentioned now, half a year after the Superbowl, does not indicate by any means that it has disappeared from American consciousness, no more than Anne Richards' "born with a silver foot in his mouth" characterization of George H.W. Bush at the Democratic Convention in 1988 or Janet Jackson's "nipslip" at the halftime at Superbowl XXXVIII in 2004 have been forgotten. By deleting references to this noteworthy episode, you seem to have appointed yourself the sole arbiter of what's important and what period of time must elapse to come to a judgment about it. I suggest you reconsider your deletion. Activist (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User:Activist inappropriate editing at Clint Eastwood talk page

This is to make you aware that User:Activist copy and pasted your and my comments from your talk page and his own talk page into the Clint Eastwood talk page, as if you and I posted them there ourselves. Here's the edit. I couldn't believe it when I saw it because I knew I hadn't posted those comments there. Activist did not have my permission to do that, and I assume he did not have your permission either. I removed your and my comments from the Eastwood talk page. Activist also copy and pasted his own comment from your talk page, including the original date/time posted. I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I'll leave it up to you to decide. I don't know Activist, but I told him in my edit comment never to do that again. I do agree that the empty chair speech content needs to be expanded a bit in the Eastwood article, but what Activist did is ridiculously inappropriate. I also wrote Muboshgu about this since he had commented in the Eastwood talk page thread. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 20:53, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your reply on my talk page. You're very welcome. As I said, I do feel that the empty chair content should be expanded. However, I will no longer participate in that discussion because of Activist's actions. I hope that you or someone else will warn him never to do that again. I see you wrote Activist on his talk page. I also commented there. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 21:28, 9 September 2012 (UTC) 21:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
