For the record.

I looked into it. You are the one who kept changing the Nexus page to be called "New Management". You know I just want to tell you 4 years later, now that in the video games, via the announcers, even the nameplates, the group under CM Punk was OFFICIALLY 'The New Nexus'. So all of those revisions and fight after fight to keep the article under the stupid "New Management" title was for nothing. Myself and I counted the other 23 editors that changed this because your title was incorrect are relieved that your incorrect notion of the title is now void.Don't believe me? I'd love to send you a video of the nameplate of Otunga and Mcguillicuty referred to as The New Nexus, The WWE 12, 13, and 14 games having the option to use "The New Nexus" as a team name, and countless times the announcers called the Nexus under CM Punk The New Nexus, never 'New Management', or simply 'Nexus'....always 'The New Nexus'. So thanks for wasting mine and twenty other peoples times by editing it to read "new Management". That was more annoying than anything and I'm glad I found the self righteous culprit responsible for the travesty. Say it with me buddy....New....Nexus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Makk3232 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Please bear with me as I am, for all intents and purposes (as evidenced by my edit history over the past couple of years), semi-retired from the English Wikipedia project. With that said, let me see if I understand this correctly: after nearly four years in which time we have never had contact of any form nor in any capacity (and we did not have any prior to that point), you saw it necessary to come to this talk page, and write out the above diatribe.

You, further, have chosen to engage me for acting with regards to something that I can barely remember. To that end, I perused through almost four calendar years of edits to find the singular edit directly regarding the topic of the title. Within that edit, I asked for the editor whom I reverted to provide the source for their change. While there were indeed other edits where the name was reverted, it was with relation those edits either being in contradictory towards the WikiProject's own-stated Manual of Style, and/or a result of the edits having been made without the usage of a source (whether it be reliable or not); these factors are not mutually exclusive. Some examples of such edits can be seen here, here, here, and here, but are not limited to this sample.

It should be noted that this brouhaha is related to the name of an article's section, not the name of an article; and that the section name was no longer modified once it had become established and a reliable source was provided for it.

You also apparently saw fit to engage in belittlement, and petty name calling. Your actions have evidenced that good faith is not on the table. Additionally, your feeling aggrieved by an act that occurred 4 years ago, and choosing to act in this manner over an edit that is no longer relevant to the scope of the article in question, is somewhat disconcerting. Please take a moment to read up on unacceptable talk page behavior, and know that further behavior that demonstrates a desire to continue along this course of action will be reported to the administrators' noticeboard for incidents.

Calling you self rightous is not in violation of good faith, unless you are being overly sensitive to the subject matter. I guess wikipedia doesn't allow for any type of name calling, and for reason alone I apologize, however disagree with you still. Your long winded politically correct explanation is fine but doesn't hold much ground when you evaluate the links provided. Sourcing for the title of sub context is not necessary in all cases, when the change is logical and based on what is provided. Nowhere was I going to find an article "Now The New Nexus". The name simply changed, as simple as that. And for the record ::You also responded in an insulting manner questioning my mindset for calling out your over reactions, and belittling me. Your actions have evidenced that good faith is not on your table either. Please take a moment to read up on unacceptable talk page behavior, and know that further behavior that demonstrates a desire to continue along this course of action will be reported to the administrators' noticeboard for incidents.

Museum hacks and museum edits

Hello there!
