References to the Devil and Baltimore
Hi. I'm not sure if your account was hacked, but you appear to have added some poorly-formatted information and references to articles involving Baltimore and references to the Devil. I've removed them because they fail WP:V and are just really bizarre coming from such an experienced editor. Thanks, epicAdam(talk) 18:13, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- epicAdam, I thank you for your concern. I'm not certain if you clicked the cited reference, it is a bit of a needle in a haystack. Here is a direct video link [1] the piece is at 15:40 and only lasts a minute or so. "Bizarre" is right, I almost coughed up my lunch when I was watching it on C-SPAN earlier today. I guess the old rule of thumb that every edit should have a citation but not every citation should require an edit holds true on this one. My sincere apologies, no harm intended but as a massive history buff to the extent that history (truth) is stranger and more fascinating then any fiction Hollywood or the like can come up with, I thought that this document, that it was retained, that it was described in the collection by a government clerk as such (in 1864), and then showcased by the head of the archives without C-SPAN even challenging him on it (accepting it as true?), what a citation. I'll defer to your demonstrated familiarity with Baltimore and honor your removals, but I do ask if you ever catch something on the level of a C-SPAN or the National Archives about Pittsburgh by all means edit away, I'd love to read/view the source. Again not meant in bad taste, but if you are truly concerned you may want to contact C-SPAN and the Archives, to be the "only" gets history buffs like me truly interested. Marketdiamond (talk) 19:07, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for the reply. The first time I checked, the link to NARA came up dead, but given the content I didn't try to look any further. I see the video you're talking about and that's quite amazing. But as it is, it's a satirical letter that has only the slightest relation to Baltimore. I have re-added the information to the article on the Devil, since it is an interesting piece of American history. It could also maybe be applied to the article on Jefferson Davis. And just for future reference, you can cite a video using Template:Cite video, and include a time reference so people know exactly where to look! Glad your account wasn't hacked. Best, epicAdam(talk) 20:58, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for those suggestions, I will work on those. Marketdiamond (talk) 20:59, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Art Rooney & the Penguins?
You recently added a section to the Art Rooney article noting that he was a minority owner of the Pens for a short period. However, the article you cited doesn't appear to state this, but only that Rooney called in some favors to get the expansion franchise awarded to Pittsburgh. As I have never heard Rooney owning a portion of the Pens, despite doing a fair bit of reading on the man and on the Steelers franchise, I call into question the veracity of these statements. Unless you can provide a legitimate citation that shows that Rooney took an ownership stake in the next few days, I intend to edit the article and will likely remove this Pens section from the Rooney article. — DeeJayK (talk) 15:02, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking before deleting, however if you read the right sidebar on the link you will notice a listing of the original investors in the Pens franchise, which will read: Russell Byers
Robert J. Dodds
W.D. George III
H.J. Heinz III
Art Rooney Sr.
Clint Childs
Charles Cross
Richard Frame
Ira Gordon
Toby Hillard
Henry Hillman
Jerome B. Lieber
Charles Lockhart
Charles Muse
Thomas Nimick
Richard M. Scaife
William Snyder IV
William Standish IV
George Wyckoff
Rooney's share was probably not that large at all, and from what I can tell the owner in name Jack McGregor was more a civic leader and politician then a deep pocketed franchise founder, thus selling his controlling interest out within the first two seasons. In a lot of ways this was a very early type of co-op along the lines of the Pittsburgh Associates with the Pirates. That said, even though on paper Rooney's share would be a guestimate of 1/10th or less, his influence of sealing the deal deserves a mention and section on his wikipedia article. The source including its right infobox I feel is more than sufficient as a citation, however I will see if there is anything else. Being that he was a fractional minority owner 40 years ago, any newssource is likely to be just a passing mention, if you feel the need to edit the section to better reflect his influence and downplay his steak that might be useful, however I would be against deleting the section all together. Marketdiamond (talk) 20:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification and the additional citations. I'm sorry for not noticing the roster of investors in the original reference. — DeeJayK (talk) 17:32, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
- Glad to be able to clarify, and very much appreciate your taking the time to notify me of your concerns before deleting or editing. Thanks again. Marketdiamond (talk) 12:51, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Formatting references
Please take a moment and read through Help:Footnotes. I noticed you're adding footnotes to articles ([2], [3], [4]) but you are not using the <ref> tags or any citation templates. Sottolacqua (talk) 21:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- Will try better, due to some of the logistics of citations referencing multiple articles it isn't a matter of simplicity, but you are correct.
Non-notable events
Please stop adding non-notable events (such as this and this) to the global date pages. The latter entry is so mind-bendingly dull that I cannot imagine it being of interest even except on a 'This Day in Pittsburgh Airport History' page. Entries should at least gesture in the direction of global or multi-national interest. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 12:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't waste resources replying to rude, insulting and borderline policy violating messages. I will consider responding to the merits of your concern, except that is now clouded by the fact that the apparent merits of your concern is that something "international" in name is somehow "mind-bendingly dull" and the fact that somehow you forget that all articles are available for cited and relevant edits, additive edits that you "cannot imagine it being of interest", aside from the fact that by your own name you somehow claim to be more than equal in ownership (?) of the on this day pages. If these are the things you wish for my response on, you may in time get that wish, would be interesting to see if one editors warped view on "international" and non-consensus pseudo verdicts of non-interest will be values wikipedia wishes to promote and grow.

Template:Rollins College
You left in a bunch of stuff relating to the University of Pittsburgh in Template:Rollins College. I'll clean it up if you don't, but I'd rather not have to look up whether the buildings exist for Rollins College. TimBentley (talk) 16:31, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- Caught me during a time when I am de-prioritizing wiki temporarily, if memory serves (it was so long ago) most buildings at Rollins did not have articles, and the few that did (Knowles Chapel, Alfond, Mills, Olin) I already linked. If you happen to delete the wrong one I won't hold it against you, unfortunately the Rollins articles don't seem to really have that many interested in editing as yet but hopefully we can get some community involvement in it. Kind of heavy lifting for just one editor at the moment, I would have thought the natural evolution of Rollins-centric wiki editors would have corrected that by now. It's on my to-do list, I wouldn't take issue with you if you streamlined the box or even deleted sections of it for now. Marketdiamond (talk) 14:09, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

The article Frank or Francis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Per the guidelines at WikiProject Films, films generally shouldn't have their own articles until multiples sources have confirmed the film has commenced principal photography. Since this film is still in pre-production as noted by its IMDB page, this page probably shouldn't exist yet per WP:CRYSTAL.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 00:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Suggest
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:53, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Friendly warning
The material you deleted from the Steeler Nation page was the product of extensive talk page negotiations. It is fully sourced and your personal opinion about its correctness is irrelevant, per WP:V. Please use the talk page before ignoring and undermining consensus. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 17:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your input and your contributions to Steelers Nation, however the cited and sourced material you repeatedly delete is also puzzling in that I am assuming you come to the article without a bias against the topic. Without a good faith assumption an editor might consider these vandalism of the worst kind. Also please respond to the new points I have raised with respect to the deletion of nakedly biased and poorly researched data, part of the consensus process in that no wikipedia article is ever "done", it seems you answer my concerns with the source with "past consensus" then answer my attempts to discuss consensus more re:source with the fact that the source is unassailable.

Steeler Nation noticeboard
Hi Marketdiamond. I would respectfully suggest that when you have an editor who is supporting your cause (like me) that you be careful not to insult that editor in a discussion, particularly when it has nothing to do with the issue at hand. In the Steeler Nation thread, you said, "For the sake of clarity and focus please register with a username." That statement is a classic example of IP discrimination. I'll ask you rhetorically: What does clarity and focus have to do with registering a username? The answer: absolutely nothing. As I said in the discussion, I suggest you educate yourself on WP:HUMAN and WP:URIP2. As it explains, among other great points, "You are an IP too. See here if you don't think so." You seem to be a nice person, but I would suggest never implying to an IP that they have less clarity and focus (or anything else) than registered users. It's an inappropriate and invalid stereotype. It's a huge Wikipedia myth. Not only are IPs equal to you, you may be surprised at how many of them know a lot more about editing than those with usernames. As long as they are contributing positively and productively to the project, they should always be welcomed with open arms. And don't forget, there are many editors with accounts that can be very disruptive. ;) --76.189.97.91 (talk) 06:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- Apologies, intent was not to impact any editor (especially since--as you have read--my points with this DR is about hurtful phrases), intent was to welcome and (maybe misguided) avoid any potential volunteer decisions that could affect a fresh future volunteer. I appreciate your input, my first 2 better worded posts got bounced back (and lost all text) because of some unusually high page activity (3rd party edits and deletion back, back, back and back) at those moments, as well some kind of connection problem for several minutes after, in these confused and "wikierror" moments I may have referenced your talk contribution page (reflecting you as 2 total edits "new" contrary to your demonstrated knowledge) instead of your main contrib page. Thank you for the WP:HUMAN and WP:URIP2 links, as demonstrated with the other like (IP) participant in this DR I make efforts to value all editors hard work, and look forward to everyones future contributions. So as an original edit should have clarified from the start, a sincere Welcome! . . . to the discussion! Marketdiamond (talk) 07:45, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- As I suspected, you are a very nice person. Thank you for your comments. :) --76.189.97.91 (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- FWIW, a user name would improve clarity because it makes it much more clear who is talking. When you have multiple IP editors -- often with numbers similar enough to be confused -- it's hard to tell who's talking, whether they're responding positively or negatively to your comments, and whether they're making any new points. Being forced to memorize nine-digit strings rather than a simple name does, in fact, detract from focusing on the content discussion, even if some other conceptions about IP editors are inaccurate.
- On this point, at least, Marketdiamond and I can find some common ground. — Bdb484 (talk) 20:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Appreciate the sentiment. Marketdiamond (talk) 21:46, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

You may want to read the "current concerns" and "international disputes" section of the Caspian Sea article, since they're quite relevant to what you asked about the Great Lakes. Nyttend (talk) 22:06, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
Case request declined
As you may have noticed, it is now impossible per the Arbitration Committee's procedures for the case to be accepted. I am therefore going to close the request. I encourage you to make full use of the dispute resolution procedures though, as you are already doing. WP:DRN, RFCs, and Mediation are useful for the content part, while WP:ANI is sometimes useful for administrators if you are able to briefly identify where you feel the other editors are editing tendentiously. Attempting to find an administrator who might be able to informally arbitrate the dispute between the two of you could be helpful (try with some of the ones who commented on that arbitration request).

Pitt Portal OTD
Marketdiamond,
Thanks for your additions to the Pitt portal. I wanted to discuss what warrants inclusion on the On This Day portion. My vision with Pitt's OTD was not like the Pittsburgh Portal project's OTD. I envisioned highlighting just one or two of the most prominent occurrences in Pitt's history for any particular day, so that the most notable ones would stand out. In other words, it is a "most prominent event on this day in history" not simply a listing of every occurrence with a date. I wanted to avoid events like the the Langley Hall explosion, or MLK visit, or national championship being lost in a list of more routine occurrences or sports events (don't get me wrong, I'm a huge sports fan). Now, I'm not suggesting not adding those things, just that it would be beneficial to a reader to be selective about events on one particular date, in consideration of the context of other events throughout the univeristy's 225 history on that same date. For instance, I don't think it is beneficial to put every win over a ranked team or upset for football or basketball in the list, not that that is what you have been doing, but I don't want to start that precedent where it becomes predominantly a OTD in Pitt sports (because those dates are the most easy to find and could flood the OTD) thus resulting in historically significant university events getting buried in a sports tsunami. For example, I really don't think this year's win over Syracuse warrants an entry (and it seems a good bit of recentism), particularly in light of the fact there are 9 wins against top 5 teams, just at the Pete, in the last decade alone and they likely don't all warrant an entry either. Essentially, I am primarily concerned with precedent where editors will litter the OTD (especially in the winter and fall and particularly on dates containing notable historic events) with a haphazard listing of wins from 100 years of Pitt football and basketball. Does that philosophy behind additions to the OTD makes sense to you? CrazyPaco (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- CrazyPaco, thanks for noticing my hard work! I can see your point with academic institutions, and I too share that in ways. For all my contributions I have kind of been going on commonsense pillar above policy thing without knowing any specific OTD policies, so apologizes if I gave any appearance of "flooding" and no I am in no way planning to replicate the dozens of items a day found on the city OTD, no human has time for more than one of those 366 article projects lol. The Pitt Portal wasn't fishing expeditions for filler (not that your accusing that, but honestly I hate blank spots on the metro OTD--different aims with metro thou), just migrating some of the already wikified Pitt items (notable enough to match all other metro news) on the city's OTD over every few months as dates approach. I appreciate you noticing so it's great that an editor with your expertise can add what you wish to the Pitt OTD from items at the Pittsburgh Portal. Even if that is zero, I really don't mind, my pathos is more with the city/metro than specifically with Pitt. BTW great job on both portals and projects! Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 20:19, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
- There's no policy here, I'm just trying to preemptively explain my rationale in how I started to build it because I've been selective in what I added so far (leaving things out) and I don't want of it to get too out of whack or lopsided. One can go one or two directions with these things: put everything you can find in there or be selective, but because sports dates are so much more abundant and easier to find for Pitt (as opposed to an entire city with multiple daily newspapers), I wanted to be selective so that it was more balanced to all readers just not sports fans. So, I originally approached it from the point of view of the reader having a quote-of-the-day desk calendar, you probably don't want too many quotes on that one page. That's all, it's not policy, just how I've tried to build the Pitt OTD by trying to be selective and as concise as possible. And really, I had no problem with your additions. You used good sources to place some of the more notable events in the basketball program (and some were pretty humorous actually). I am just trying to be preemptive in discussing selectivity so every date in the fall, for instance, does not have Pitt beats PSU or Pitt beats WVU or Pitt beats ND over 100 years of history...it sort of makes, for instance, the 13-9 upset of WVU, which was huge, somewhat meaningless. But for empty dates, well, the standard is obviously lower for including events on them, than for instance, the date on which the university was founded. (BTW, the only one I really thought was way out of place was the Beth O one, so I deleted that one, because that really has nothing to do with the university whatsoever). As far as filling empty dates, the biggest problem is confirming exact dates for events, and the downswing in events in the summer months makes that the difficult for those months. The good news is that Pitt's digital archive has put a lot more material on-line (alumni publications) than when I started this and I understand they may be putting up Pitt News scans in the future. Again, thanks for your contributions, and this was just a preemptive explanation of what I had been trying to do, not really a criticism. CrazyPaco (talk) 00:18, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Hey, btw, you've done more than enough on Pitt and Pitt-related projects to add your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pittsburgh/Members, whether it is your primary interest or not. There is so much overlap anyway. Your contributions and discussions are valued. CrazyPaco (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
- CrazyPaco, thanks for the invite and positive feedback! Been a busy few days for me here but the more you tell about your vision the more I'm liking it, very good for an academic institution, and well thought out. Appreciate your thoughts early in the process CrazyPaco, and your right on getting the dates right (Historical Pittsburgh Chronology has tons off by a date or two), and Newspaper archives are always tricky with the "yesterdays" and "last [day of the week]" descriptions. I have thought that leaving your thoughts above on academic OTDs might be good to leave on the talk pages for posterity. Doesn't have to be policy but more a guide and method to the madness so that months or years from now at the very least other wikipedians will know there was a system and reason things were done a certain way, perhaps even they will stay true to the basics of that vision. Editors such as yourself (the majority) I never consider to be critical, thats the magic of Wikipedia, very creative, very knowledgeable but at times colliding visions that can result in even better articles. However your right, with the passing of time a few zealots or newbies could undo good faith edits, something I have thought of getting around to on the city OTD.

- Could you do me a favor and keep an eye on the removal of Pitt's succession boxes (grouped with the Steelers and other teams) on Pittsburgh's football stadium venues (Expo Park, Rec Park, TRS, Forbes, Pitt Stadium). There is one editor that thinks he is running the college football Wikiproject and that this give him ownership over 100s of articles without regard to the editors or other projects that work on those venues' articles. The effect is it makes an for an incomplete list of venue tenants in the succession box grouping for these articles. I already reversed him and don't want to get into an edit war. Talk page comments would be useful as well if you have comments. CrazyPaco (talk) 06:37, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- CrazyPaco, I looked over those page histories and that editor, first thought is I can't believe that editor is attempting this quixotic irrationality again of deleting factual data from an encyclopedia. I will be leaving comments on a few talk pages and hopefully avoid any edit warring. Second I do see that the editor on Three Rivers Stadium and Forbes Field (others?) replaced the Succession Box with a Pitt NavBar (replacing "facts" is not what I like to see on Wikipedia) but in your revert the Pitt NavBar has disappeared. Again, not aware of all the discussed opinions on the matter but my first strong instinct would be to have both NavBars and Succession Boxes. This also allows for a very simple, understandable and sustainable policy of what should and shouldn't be included going forward. Please share your thoughts on the Navbars for these pages (possibly just the "Pitt Football" navbar), and I will definitely leave my thoughts on the encyclopedic nature of factual inclusions on all articles especially sports stadiums and will monitor these pages with you for the near future. Thanks for making me aware of this situation. Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 16:47, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
- There is an ongoing year+ long dispute between me and this editor regarding the standardization of navbox across a very broad college football wikiproject. You can view the current discussion at the talk page there and the original rfc in its archives. Essentially, at some point in the past, he decided to rigidly standardize all college football navboxes for every single college program (there are 100s) and he systematically went about converting multiple navbox topics (like seasons and facilities) into one consolidated and rigidly regulated (by himself) navbox per team. IMO, for some programs, it was an improvement, for others, it overemphasized trivial information and deleted links to articles about important aspects of the individual program. It caused the vast majority of Navboxes to be filled with a meaningless list of consecutive years, many of which are redlinked, a practice discouraged in the WP:NAV essay. What he did would be like if an editor at the American Football Wikiproject standarded all NFL teams with no customization of categories; or if the US Wikiproject rigidly standardizing navboxes for all cities or states. Such a thing is unprecedented across Wikipedia, and it is, in effect, asserting ownership over 100s of navboxes with callous disregard for other wikiprojects and editors that may be involved in the topic's articles. I believe it is actually a dangerous precedent for Wikipedia (and for the Pittsburgh city navbox, or Steelers navbox, etc). Therefore, you may want evaluate this for yourself and comment at the Pitt football Navbox talk page and/or at the CFB Wikiproject. The problem is, there just aren't that many editors involved in the discussion at the CFB Wikiproject and we've never taken it to a successfully wider RFC.

- In fact, regarding the Pitt football navbox, right now there is the current Pitt football navbox, the original one (that was much more concise), and an alternative one by another editor at Template talk:Pittsburgh Panthers football navbox/sandbox. Comments on the Pitt navbox talk page about these issues and to generate a consensus for the style of the navbox would be helpful.
- Back to the venues. I have no problem including the Pitt football navbox on these articles as well. I know jweiss is trying to remove duplication of navbox links and succession box links (he thinks his standardization of the CFB navboxes trumps other concerns about the articles themselves, like it effectively ruining the list of tenants in the succession boxes or having the bizzare side effect of a Pitt basketball succession box being located on Pitt Stadium, but not Pitt football). As far as Pitt football's nav box, personally, I don't think Rec Park or TRS is probably necessary as a link in the nav box because it isn't a major part of Pitt history, but I also have no problem if people want to put a complete list of Pitt football venues into the navbox. However, I would suggest that if they are included that Rec Park should not be at the very top of the navbox so that is is the first linked article that a reader sees since Rec Park is really a footnote in the overall topic of Pitt football. What I'd like to do is get a consensus of editors that know about Pitt and Pittsburgh to come up with a reasoned navbox, with logic behind what is excluded, included and how it is presented; not forfeit that to Jweiss' one-size-fits-all format.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article.Template:Z127 MadmanBot (talk) 02:41, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Shill text - correction
Greetings, Marketdiamond! While enjoying a peruse of your User page, I came across a line that jarred me a bit. As a professional editor and infosearcher (among other things, when not editing Wikipedia), I did a bit of checking and found the more familiar version of the Orson Welles quote here: "...sell no wine before its time" (emphasis mine). Were it not for the attribution to O.W., I'd have thought you were hinting that "Its/It's time" = the bartender's announcement of "last round"...? Being almost but not quite bold enough to make the correction directly, I chose to alert you here. See you around! -- Deborahjay (talk) 09:36, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks Deborahjay, will correct and hey thanks for viewing my manifesto lol.

EDMC Legal issues section
Hi there, Market. If you haven't checked the EDMC Talk page in a few days there was a comment from Nomo about including Bittel. I've responded to this but thought that you might like to weigh in as well. Also, if you were interested in making any changes to my draft to shorten the section, please go right ahead. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hello! Though I am mindful of not rushing anything, as you know, I did want to follow up on the EDMC discussion before the weekend. Did you want me to try reaching out to other wikiprojects to find other editors to review the draft, or do you feel comfortable moving my draft into the article at this point? Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 21:38, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- I went ahead and added a compacted version of your draft since there was no further discussion despite my personal invitations to concerned editors and the invitations for further references/discussion on the actual article. If there is something that the current draft isn't correct on let me know. Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 03:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Latest on EDMC
Howdy, Market. Earlier this week I posted up a proposed revision to Legal issues at Talk:EDMC, and then I posted a note with two wikiprojects (Universities, Politics) to find some additional eyeballs. No responses yet. Very much looking forward to your feedback when you find the time. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:21, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pittsburgh City Council, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages William Magee and Thomas Gallagher (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.

EDMC Political activities section
Hi Market, I saw you updated the Political activities section of the EDMC article. Thanks for doing that. I'm fine with keeping the information about Anthony J. Guida Jr., but I've left you a note on the Talk page about the current sources in that sentence. Two of them currently do not support the information. I left you a more detailed note on the Talk page about how to correct this. I hope you can check it out. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:55, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
- Back to you on Political activities—just a couple of details about Guida's career to correct, and a few changes for grammar. Thanks! WWB Too (Talk · COI) 20:36, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Marketdiamond. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Eddie Dew Memorial Airpark, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Stifle (talk) 15:42, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Post at Help Desk
Please do not use the Help Desk to publicize articles that are not directly relevant to the question that was being asked. The article to which you linked is about gender imbalance in the Western world, and the poster is in [[India]. It was a good faith post, but was not relevant at the Help Desk. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Point taken, perhaps I'm too use to the reference desks. I'll keep replies on the HD on point. That said I was aware of the India thing, and its moot at this point about the merits of the contribution but I do appreciate your good faith and collegiality on it.

Upload picture
Hi Market Diamond,
You have recently helped me set up the infobox section on the Angels Den article- thank you very much for that I greatly appreciate it!. I have been trying to upload a picture on wikipedia but for some reason the result appears in black- some sort of negative view of it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Angels_Den_Main_Logo.jpg) Thank you, Rhâmusker — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhamusker (talk • contribs) 12:42, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Rhamusker, I think I fixed this for you, check the article, also if you click the "edit source" it will allow you to fill in the infobox with a lot more information on the right side of the "=". Glad to help, I always appreciate some of the "heart" logo at the top center-right of the page if you are so inclined to present it! Market St.⧏ ⧐ Diamond Way 13:05, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, the picture that you have put remains black, when the original is yellow I think. I do not understand what you mean by " heart logo" I have received 3 banners saying that there are issues with the URL and notability. Do you know what they mean? Concerning the logo, I have recently approached the company (emailed them) and asked them if they were okay with me using their logo . They said they were quite happy to have a wiki page, so they gave me their approval. This is my very first wiki article, I have edited before, but heck! creating an article is something else! I have very sorry to keep on asking questions, I must sound like a pain :s
