This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 186.2.207.74 (talk) at 01:46, 22 July 2013 (* Scientific investigations at Loch Ness: new section). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Because the page is locked, I can't list this at RFD. I have notified User:Fuhghettaboutit, who originally locked the page. I have done as you asked, and expanded Fakelore#Slender Man with reliable sources. Now please, can we end this ludicrous situation in which the same query redirects to two different articles? Serendipodous 14:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great job expanding the section. I think it's best if we also keep a short entry on the list of Internet phenomena, so I've linked the entry to the section on the fakelore article. It'll be better if the topic gets its own article, and I think there's enough reliable information on the topic to have an article on it, but we might still have to wait and see if it's notable enough. Also, it seems that "Slender Man" is the common name for the topic per Google hits, rather than "Slenderman", so I'd update all incoming links and references to use "Slender Man" rather than "Slenderman" for consistency. - M0rphzone (talk) 08:49, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also, there's a problem with including Slender Man in the fakelore article. Do any of the sources actually state that Slender Man is an example of fakelore? If they don't, then including Slender Man in that article is original research and synthesis. I'd rather just create a whole new article. - M0rphzone (talk) 09:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. But fakelore fits the Slender Man far better than "Bogeyman", which is where it was linked originally (without discussion). The Fakelore editors are getting justifiably territorial. We need to get that lock removed so that Slenderman gets his own article. Serendipodous 12:18, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited PLA Unit 61398, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page RSA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Article Feedback deployment

Hey M0rphzone; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :).

It appears to me

that you do not understand the meaning of the word legend. This could be the origin of our miscommunication. Please read the article on the subject, particularly the line perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history, before discussing this further. Serendipodous 04:09, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you bring it here? I'd prefer to discuss it on the article talk page, not mine. Next time please post a notice for new messages, instead of fragmenting the discussion. Also, I'd advise against attempting to judge others and trying to mind read their actions or thoughts, or otherwise attempting to assume bad faith. - M0rphzone (talk) 05:33, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed bad faith because you acted in bad faith. You accused me of OR and then inserted OR of your own without discussion. So yeah, I was peeved. Serendipodous 17:41, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

British Empire

Re: your edit comment "previous wording was more accurate/specific; new wording is vague and inspecific; removal of book source not discussed".

  1. "previous wording was more accurate/specific; new wording is vague and inspecific". Athough that claim in itself is vague and unspecific, and not accepting that the reword was any less specific than your reword, I'd like to remind you that this is an overview article of 400 years of history across 5 continents and as such is bound to be unspecific by its very nature, otherwise this article would be a multi-volume book. If readers want to get specific they can click on the links to other articles.
  2. "removal of book source not discussed" first. If you read my edit, you will see I replaced the added reference to a reference to Marshall's volume of the Oxford History of the British Empire, Volume II, one of the existing references.

Furthermore, you readded mention of East/West Florida/Senegal despite discussion on the talk page about that. The editor who added that information yesterday wrote "Agreed" following my post that picking these two territories out of the tens of territories mentioned at the peace treaties was both arbitrary and unnecessarily specific given that the main issue at this point was the loss of the 13 colonies. The fact that Britain lost Florida after having control of it for just 20 years, and lost Tobago to France when it would take it back 20 years later are mere side-notes to the story of the 1st/2nd British Empires that are being discussed in this section.

Hmm, fair enough, but I didn't read that talk page section since it wasn't about the American colonies section. - M0rphzone (talk) 18:56, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re-listed thread

Hello OjdvQ9fNJWl. I re-listed a thread where you had commented and I did hope to hear your opinion on the internal comment overall. Thanks. My76Strat (talk) 04:26, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:BOLDTITLE and Boston Marathon bombings

As you were involved in a discussion at Talk:Boston Marathon bombings#MOS:BOLDTITLE regarding the intro of that article, you may be interested in the discussion at WT:LEAD#MOS:BOLDTITLE and its application to specific situations, since it further concerns that situation.

Dates

In response to your Edit Summary i just wish to say that the article was using an unacceptable mixture of MDY and DMY, before i changed it to just MDY since it is a topic dealing with America which as i understand is the primary date format for Florida and the US and allowable by the MoS.Jason Rees (talk) 22:34, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Asure Software

This page is clearly dated. Asure Software has shifted it's focus to it's software solutions. As I have been told edits from me are considered a conflict of interest because I do work for the company, it is only fair that one of these users who are so quick to remove updates look into what the company is doing that and accurately portray what the company is doing now, possibly even update the logo. I encourage you to look Asuresoftware.com and maybe even more specifically http://www.asuresoftware.com/company to bring this page up to date.
