Edit to Haji's Kitchen page

Hi MusikAnimal,

Sorry for the test/edit on the Haji's Kitchen page......I was attempting to link the text "Eumeria" to the new Eumeria wiki-page.

If you would do that for me, that'd be terrific! :)

No worries! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Adding Wikilinks is easy, learn how to do it at Help:Link. If you are using the VisualEditor, you simply select the text you would like to be linked, then use the live-search dialog that comes up to find the page you want to link to. I've added the link you spoke of for you. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal ^talk 21:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Story Museum

Hello,

I'm the marketing officer for The Story Museum, and was attempting to change the page to make the information accurate.

I am new to the Wikipedia editing world. Is there any guidance you can offer me? Should I footnote every sub-section, stating that it's sourced from our website, or is there another way of doing it?

Best wishes,

No problem, glad to help. First off, even if you are the copyright owner, it is highly recommended you reword the content (see WP:CV). Next, the content you added sounded almost entirely promotional, as with sentences like An exciting artistic collaboration turned the dilapidated building into a giant compendium of strange, amusing and haunting stories, etc. Furthermore, it is written from the perspective of the museum ("our", "we"), not the third-person. It is important to understand Wikipedia is not a place for promotion, advocacy, or opinions. Learn more at WP:SOAPBOX. Expanding on this principle, you should avoid conflict of interest, which may be the case since you work for the subject of this article. Referencing the official website means it is self-published, e.g. the content is likely too closely related with the subject and may not adhere to a neutral point of view, see WP:USESPS.

Lastly, let's make sure to add references. Wikipedia revolves around reliable, previously published information. Learn more about referencing practices at WP:REFBEGIN and WP:SOURCE.

Hopefully I haven't overwhelmed you here, and if you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask. I realize you are new and it may take some time to get acquainted with our practices. I've added a welcome template to your talk page to help get you started; So welcome, and happy editing! — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:14, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Antonio Cesaro page

Look at the page. It was a weird blend of Cesaro,m Damien Sandow, and a Diva's page. I undid all of the weird Sandow stuff on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.196.1 (talk) 18:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, interesting. I searched and looks like this stuff exists in several other articles. It's up to you and other editors more familiar with Cesaro to make the call whether to retain this content; on that note you may want to start a discussion on the talk page. I merely reverted your edit as you didn't explain why you removed so much content, so remember to use an edit summary. Cheers! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:54, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to FreshBooks Wikipedia Page

Hey There,

The second time I changed the description, I actually did provide a reason for it, mainly relevancy. The previous description is old and doesn't have the newer accolades.

Let me know if we can keep the new one (just changed it again).

Thanks,

Hi, the issue I have is that you removed the infobox, which was well-sourced. You also reworded the lead section and broke it's formatting, see WP:LEAD. The introduction should be simple and to the point. E.g. I think the co-founder and CEO of FreshBooks, accidentally saved over an invoice back in 2003 should go under the company section. Lastly, your additions are unsourced, whereas the original content was sourced. Generally you should not replace sourced content with unsourced content. I think your additions are otherwise fine, just take a look at WP:RELY and WP:REFBEGIN on how to locate and add references. If further rearrangement or formatted is needed I will be happy to do it for you. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:10, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're all set. Just see if you can find a reference for the claims about Stevie Awards, IXDA Award, and that they serve 150 countries. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 16:27, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

sorry about that

Hi I am so sorry i must have done something wrong. i posted 4 beautiful pictures of the building. I may not have entered them right, I thought i was helping I am sorry Clara Sister fadia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clara sister fadia (talk • contribs) 18:06, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. What you saved was the default gallery code of example images. Can you provide me with the links to these four images you speak of? Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Sukbin Choe's page

Hi MusikAnimal,

hello! the edit I made on that page was simply to return it to its original page. as you can read, a lot of information were posted, which I believe came from the TV series Dong Yi. we can't put something to a page of a historical figure that came from a character from a tv series. I did not do any vandalism. I just don't want other people to confuse into two different people, the one from history and the one from tv drama. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.144.103.197 (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that the content you removed was sourced, which you replaced with unsourced content, and you didn't use an edit summary to give a valid reason why. I apologize for not explaining this to you on your talk page. It looks like a number of editors have been blanking/unblanking sections of the article for some time. I recommend starting a discussion on the talk page so that you can work with these other editors who are familiar with the subject in order to reach a consensus. Hope this helps! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I am new..

Thanks for helping make my Max Koeck post look tons better.

I accidentally spelled Joseph wrong on this post in the headline... how can that be fixed? The extra P is sorta embarrassing.

Jeffryobrien (talk) 23:46, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. No problem, glad to be of help :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 23:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, don't mean to be a pest, but I have an old political cartoon of him, but I am too new to post photos. Could you grab it and post it up? It is at the link below:

Thanks!

Jeffryobrien (talk) 00:22, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, check your talk page where I've discussed this. We'll talk there from here on out. Cheers! — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reference

I take the point, you need more context to relate the subject matter ans reference. My point is this text, like the currently named dasam granth is also in general contradictory of sikh philosophy as per the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. However, the article is currently making unsubstantiated claims- so what do we do? On a broader point even following the good practice laid out in the policy, the articles can atill be biased. For example, common western academia may unintentionally mistake the strength of the argument for climate change. Jattnijj (talk) 05:13, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have no knowledge on the subject of the article whatsoever, and have no input on any such issues. I patrol recent edits, and merely noticed you incorrectly references, as you were notified on your talk page. Again see WP:REFBEGIN on how to add references. Thanks — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:03, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MusikAnimal asked me to jump in here. When we have a bunch of unsourced info, and you're claiming it's disputed, then we can either just tag it as needing a reference (which we've already done with the templates at the top of the article), or we can remove those parts which are contentious until they can be verified. I've done the latter now, since as a religious matter I can see why have unsourced info could be a problem. Note that you do have to be careful not to remove other needed parts of the article like the categories when you remove unsourced content.

However, relating to your broader point, information does have to be sourced; ideally the sources should be in English, but they don't have to be. And they don't have to be from "western academia"--it's totally fine for them to come from Indian, Pakistani, etc. academia. But what they shouldn't come from are the religious organizations themselves (except for some basic factual information), and they certainly cant be sourced from the actual primary religious texts themselves.

Redirect on Margaret Craig

Hi - thanks for your assistance in reviewing Margaret Craig (artist). I created this page as Margaret Craig (artist), because there's another Margaret Craig on Wikipedia. The existing Margaret Craig page actually redirects to Margaret McNamara. In fact, Margaret McNamara's notable societal contributions occurred while she was Margaret McNamara, not while she lived with her maiden name, Margaret Craig. So - I'm not sure if the redirect is appropriate.

The editor who created the redirect is no longer registered, and I'm not sure what the proper edit should be. There seem to be a lot of choices.

What I'd really like is for the Margaret Craig page to have the Margaret Craig (artist) article (and to just delete the original Margaret Craig (artist)page), with a disambiguation link (hatnote?) to Margaret McNamara at the top.

Does that sound like the proper course of action, or is one stuck once a page is created?

Thanks!

Hey! If it were up to me, I'd do a move over redirect, but because the redirect page (Margaret Craig) was explicitly created by someone (and not created by a move), we will need an administrator to help us. The real issue is a matter of which subject is more notable under the name Margaret Craig. When I Google the text "Margaret Craig Reading is Fundamental" I only see entries with her full name, Margaret Craig McNamara, so there shouldn't be any dispute in reserving the page Margaret Craig for the artist. I was being bold and went ahead and requested a speedy move over redirect. I've also added the hatnotes atop both articles. We'll check back later and see if the move was successful.

Side note, remember to sign and date your posts by adding four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your posts on talk pages. Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:06, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I appreciate your help. Hope the change goes through. Johnnywhee (talk) 19:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the original page, Margaret Craig, has had its contents deleted. Will an admin move the Margaret Craig (artist) article contents to Margaret Craig and delete Margaret Craig (artist)? Thanks, again! Johnnywhee (talk) 01:31, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done With the original page deleted I was able to move over Margaret Craig (artist). The artist page is now a redirect. Cheers! — MusikAnimal ^talk 03:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fantastic - thank you for your assistance. Johnnywhee (talk) 04:21, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Kitty Brucknell Page

Hi MusikAnimal

Putting that page up was a mistake, couldn't get enough references to support it so was hoping for a deletion? - Brezzy85

Not by blanking. Drmies (talk) 20:50, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ~~there have been too many contributors to warrant author requested deletion~~ – you did not even create this article, so proposing deletion is the best course of action. Another editor has since changed the article to a redirect anyway. — MusikAnimal ^talk 20:56, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Revert on Suppressor article

Hi MusikAnimal, I am not looking to start an edit war but if you consult the talk section of the Suppressors page you will see that Mike Searson and I have agreed to conjunctively ameliorate the article. If you take the time to look through it you will see that it has a rating of C, which is, in our opinion, sub-par to the kind of quality Wikipedia articles should have; especially those that have such a vast amount of information widely available to the public (agreed much of it is clout with mis/disinformation). I have background in firearms and can sort this out.

If you also take the time to read the article, you will notice that some of it appears to have been translated from an other language by google or some such application and Mike Searson and myself have agreed to better the quality of the writting. I reduced a ten-line section to 3 or 4 lines that were a component of an other section, imparting a bit more clarity unto the article. Please consult the talk page in the future before reverting edits that were agreed upon by people attempting to better it, and not contested by anyone else. If you feel you would like to take part in the betterment of the article, it would be appreciated that you do so on the talk page, as everyone wanting to take part in the process does. regards108.181.1.84 (talk) 17:55, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Sorry for the confusion. I patrol recent changes, and merely noticed you removed a substantial amount of sourced content without explaining why, as you were notified on your talk page. I have no knowledge about the subject of this article whatsoever. In the future, remember to always provide a valid edit summary so that other editors are aware of why you are blanking entire sections – preferably link to the discussion on the talk page. Thanks! — MusikAnimal ^talk 18:02, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of aircraft flown by Eric "Winkle" Brown

When did erik brown fly the doglas devastator? All devastaators were destroyed by 1944. No devastator ever criossed the atlantic. Ewbnever crossed the atlantic until after the wa. Qed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.12.110 (talk) 07:04, 19 August 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Looks I made a mistake and reverted your edit as vandalism when it was clearly in good faith, sorry about that! I think what you were looking for was the citation needed template. You can place {{fact|date=August 2013}} next to statements or claims in an article that you feel require verification. I went ahead and added this for you. In the future, simply use this template, and any additional commentary should go on the accompanying talk page. Let me know if you need anymore help! Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 13:20, 19 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ALL GOOD MAN thanks for making the change - i could be wrong, of course, but the claim that he flew in a devastator doesnt pass my 'smell test' by a long way. thanks for your great work and sorry for my lack of wiki skills.
