Steven Brust Question

You've recently made quite a few changes to Steven Brust's wikipedia page. I think another change should be made, unrelated to your changes, but I'd like a second opinion. Since you seem to be somewhat invested in the page, I figure you would have an educated opinion on this.

I've just begun re-reading his Vlad Taltos (Dragaeran) series chronologically, following the order on this page, and I've noticed an omission. The Prologue of the book "Jhereg" is chronologically the very first story involving Vlad -- the prologue details Vlad's acquisition of Loiosh as a familiar when Vlad is 16. Since precedent has already been set with the Dragon & Issola books being broken up on the chronological listing, I think the prologue of Jhereg should be added as the very first chronological entry.

If you agree, then please feel free to add it for me (I am inexperienced at editing wikipedia and am afraid I'll screw something up).

  • @Lxvball: Alex, thanks for the suggestion, and the vote of confidence! I believe you are right. I have been editing for only about a year, and if you make any mistakes, or find you need a hand to make it look right, I will gladly show you how to fix them up, but by all means jump in and do it. As they say around here: Be bold and learn by doing. Good luck! Lwarrenwiki (talk) 13:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just revert a big chunk in the article. It appears you added the same material twice, including double infoboxes and ref section. Bgwhite (talk) 00:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Bgwhite: Wow. That was an extreme cut-and-paste typo on my part! Odd that it didn't cause major visible errors in the rendering of the article, which is why it went unnoticed for so long. I have restored the intervening edits, and I very much appreciate your help and diligence. Thanks! Lwarrenwiki (talk) 02:43, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If reverting my edits fixed it, it must have been me. I have no idea how. Sorry about that :( SteveStrummer (talk) 03:35, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@SteveStrummer: No, the error was mine before you touched the article. The entire article was duplicated, smack in the middle of one of the references! I guess all the brackets and braces balanced, and the citation template failed gracefully (but silently) when it encountered a parameter that was 50K long.

@SteveStrummer: Bless your heart, Steve. I started editing Wikipedia a year ago for basically one reason: he deserved better than a stub, and if nobody else was going to do him justice, then it was up to me to try. Since then, I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from much broader involvement in Wikipedia, but this is still the article that matters most to me, and that I keep coming back and trying to improve.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Garbage (album)

Sorry for interrupt. I should knew no one discuss for it. In 'Composition and style' section, as from Allmusic reviewer says "having all the trappings of alternative rock -- off-kilter arrangements, occasional bursts of noise, a female singer with a thin, airy voice", however it says "comes off as pop". Honestly it does not classified as a pop album. Why don't you ask User:Andrzejbanas to discuss on talk page first. 183.171.162.152 (talk) 03:07, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@183.171.162.152: Sorry, you've got the wrong person here; I don't believe I've ever edited the page for Garbage (album), and I'm afraid I have no idea what you're talking about. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 03:48, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Skyler White (disambiguation)

The article Skyler White (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only two entries, one of which has the main name. This is solved with a hatnote.

While all constructive 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. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:35, 7 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Skyler White (disambiguation) for deletion

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:44, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

Hi Lwarrenwiki. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! kelapstick(bainuu) 19:25, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Juris Doctor

First, the edits I made to multiple pages changing "Juris Doctorate" to "Juris Doctor" were constructive regardless of any semantic disagreement we may have over the need to include the word "degree" after the latter phrase. A "Juris Doctorate" does not exist; it is a misnomer and its inclusion in any page on this site is in error. Thus any change of "Juris Doctorate" to "Juris Doctor" contributes positively to the accuracy of a page and should not be disturbed.

Second, the word "degree" does not need to immediately follow "Juris Doctor" for the term to be correct. It would be correct say "I earned my Ph.D." just as it would also be correct to say "I earned my Ph.D. degree." The same principle applies to the "Juris Doctor." Additionally, the term "Juris Doctor" is often abbreviated to "J.D." or "JD," both of which may be used correctly without the inclusion of "degree" immediately afterward. The term "Juris Doctor" refers to the degree itself rather than the holder.

As evidence of my second point, please see this page, which shows the terminology used by Harvard Law School: http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/academics/degree-programs/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.3.43.230 (talk) 21:38, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Big Star

Hello, it seems that Big Star is scheduled to appear on the main page some time in the near future and I went through it just to make sure it's still up to par since the editor who nominated it for FA has not been around in a few years. Would you mind reviewing the changes I made and letting me know if you disagree with anything? I essentially removed any unsourced additions, consolidated and reorganized a few paragraphs, and updated a few sections that were still stuck on "as of 2015" type statements. Thanks! --Laser brain (talk) 16:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MZ

Lwarrenwiki, I see that you reverted most of the changes I made to the "Machine Zone" Wiki page. Can I ask why you reverted my edits? The edits I made were to better accurately describe Machine Zone as a company and its products and services. I hope we can work together to offer more accurate information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kenosplit (talk • contribs) 19:11, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Kenosplit: Thanks for contacting me about the revisions. I certainly appreciated the tone of your note – in my past experience, new editors who have seen their first edits to Wikipedia reverted are rarely so pleasant! You've made a good start. I hope the result will be a productive collaboration among Wikipedia's editors (including you!) to improve the accuracy and completeness of the Machine Zone article, while maintaining its integrity.
To that end: are you working for MZ, or for Rubenstein Associates, directly or indirectly? The apparently promotional nature of your changes caused me to think so, and so did the discovery that your revisions appeared to take place before MZ's April 4 announcement was reported in the press. When I located the actual press release on BusinessWire, your revisions were prior to the date and time of the press release. Please take a look at WP:PUBLICIST and WP:COI to see whether those guidelines might apply to you. Even if they do not, I would also suggest that you look at WP:PROMOTION and WP:NPOV, to see how you might be able to better avoid giving the Wikipedia article the appearance of a press release for MZ's new product. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 20:25, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Lwarrenwiki: I do work at MZ and reviewed the articles you sent me. It was not my intention to promote the company but rather to reflect the company's current situation. There are, for example, several statements in the Wikipedia that are either outdated or inaccurate, but I did not change those as my intention was not to completely redo the Wiki page for the company. I would like, however, for at least the first paragraph describing the company to be as accurate as possible, which is to say, to reflect the fact that it is a real time technology company and not just a gaming company. Also, with the rebranding as "MZ," I see no reason why the Wiki can't reflect that rebranding even if in the background section there is reference to the fact that the company was once known as "Machine Zone." I think (and hope) that if you look back at the language I added that you will see that the intention was not to promote but rather to update facts about the company.
