regarding Crusader Kings II edit

Heya Trystan, I found a reference to it albeit worded slightly differently. A strategyprime.net review of the DLC has "The initial reaction of a huge number of fans was indeed puzzling, since they seemed to be extensively hostile towards this DLC. Only a bit later have the heads cooled off and people started talking (and thinking!) rationally." When I originally wrote it into the article it was after they announced it and the backlash that ensued and people hadn't calmed down yet, but what the review says would be a good portrayal I think of the current stance regarding the DLC. Would you mind if I editted it back in there worded more to what the reference says than what I originally wrote? I didn't want to just do it after you took it out without talking to you first.

With a source, it's fine with me if it's added back in.--Trystan (talk) 00:13, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar!

		The Barnstar of Diligence
		Regardless of what the community concludes, I thought you deserved some recognition for diligently pointing out possible errors at Pope Innocent XII and moving to fix them right away. Great work! Stalwart111 05:53, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prophecy of the pope

I have brought this to the talkpage but there is an identical passage, basically copied andpasted later in the article. I can't take it out or I would violate the 3rr rule. I have also attempted to leave a note on the article talkpage as this is not relevant info to the prophecy, falls into recentism and will be out dated in a week or two anyways. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 03:45, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken that out as well. I'm sure this article will attract all kinds of pet theories and other OR over the next month. I hopeful that there are now a number of watchers that will help keep it in good shape.--Trystan (talk) 03:52, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

X+1th incarnation of the Doctor

Hi Trystan, I see you reverted my recent edit on the Twelfth Doctor page. Essentially, the source used isn't good enough - it says John Hurt comes between McGann and Ecclestone, but doesn't say whether he's an older 8, the real 9, an alternate 9, or some other kind of non-regeneration variant Doctor. Essentially we're speculating and crystal balling if we say he's definitely an "insert" regeneration until after the airing of the anniversary special. I'm going to revert it back and leave it at that.Zythe (talk) 09:16, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was deliberately avoiding getting into the 12th/13th debate, which I agree is premature. I support your subsequent edit changing it to say twelfth, but I'm sure that issue will be hotly contested for another few weeks (if not for years to come!). If it becomes a point of contention, I would recommend, "The Twelfth Doctor is an incarnation...", which may be less confusing going forward.

My edit was intended to be purely grammatical; it makes no sense to say the fictional character is an incarnation of the series, rather than of its protagonist.--Trystan (talk) 14:33, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1992 Communist Party USA meeting at UC Berkeley

Hello Trystan, thank you for trying to improve my edit. Is not the author of http://www.webcitation.org/6MjIV3NSe a reliable source about the 1992 Communist Party USA meeting at UC Berkeley? Perusteltu (talk) 04:25, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, an anti-communist activist is not a reliable source for an ostensibly neutral description of what happened at a Communist Party meeting. There may be a case to use Bowers' letter to the editor as a primary source of the views of anti-communists, but I wasn't able to locate a suitable secondary source establishing its notability.--Trystan (talk) 05:31, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CAT/EGRS

I noticed you undid the changes I made to the redirect pages. I'm not saying this is wrong. I just want to make sure you're aware that the target page was moved twice in one day, and because of that is now considered disputed. I agree that we should go back to the previous version until the dispute is resolved. Consider this a "thank you" as I'm not going to spam the thank button on 17 different edits.

Question

Hey, I'm a new editor trying to get up to speed on how to best be a contributor on Wikipedia. If you have any advice or wisdom you would like to share, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. I'm looking to glean knowledge from some more established and non-biased... as much as possible... individuals.ChicagoGuy11 (talk) 06:23, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My main advice for any new editor would be to read and adopt WP:BRD. If you make a change that gets reverted, go to the talk page and try to gain consensus for the change, rather than reverting the article back and forth. There are ways of escalating talk page discussion for an issue you feel strongly about. Continual reverts are rarely effective at changing an article in the long term.--Trystan (talk) 13:07, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Twin Towers

Why did you revert my edit? I think that was very dumb of you and unpatriotic. You need to learn.

CookieMonster755 (talk) 04:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)CookieMonster755[reply]

@CookieMonster755: Hello. I made this revert to return that disambiguation page back in line with the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages. Articles would only be listed at the top of the disambiguation page like that if they are the primary topic, and then only with a single link and enough information to clarify what article is being linked to. If you want to propose that World Trade Center be made the primary topic for Twin Towers, the appropriate method would be to request a move of Twin Towers to Twin Towers (disambiguation) and have it replaced with a redirect.

I don't think making editorial decisions based on patriotism is compatible with a neutral point of view, and certainly isn't compatible with writing for a global audience. Even if it weren't, I don't see how the edits would be unpatriotic. Anyway, I'm not American.--Trystan (talk) 16:19, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Trystan: -- Thank you for replying to my message! I do understand why you reverted my edits! I am sorry I called you dumb, it was not nice at all, please forgive me. I will request a move, and see if anybody agree with the change. Thank you for your help!!! CookieMonster755 (talk) 19:53, 13 December 2014 (UTC)CookieMonster755[reply]
