The section regarding the arrest of the perpetrators and Jenny's role in explaining the prv. events did/does need further detail, and I was intending to expound a little further there. The article still holds pockets of vacuum. In any case, what develops remains to unfold.--Kieronoldham (talk) 03:42, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

William Woollett

Helped
Thank you for your suggestions. I thought I might have to break it into two articles. How do I move it back to the Sandbox? SoCalArchitect (talk) 02:01, 28 May 2019 (UTC)SoCalArchitect[reply]

William Lee Woollett was the lead designer so the buildings were mostly designed by him. Sometime around after the office moved permanently to Los Angeles in 1921, Woollett and Woollett split, with John Woollett moving to Sacramento to become State Architect. I can't find the exact date. In 1926, William Woollett (William Woollett's son) joined the firm. So from what I can tell, Woollett and Wollett was no longer William and John but William,Sr and William, Jr. (but they didn't call each other Sr & Jr which makes it confusing) The partnership lasted at least until the Great Depression, when almost all building ceased. That is when the father and son published a book of William, Jr's drawings together. There are way too many Wm Wolletts, all of them very talented, it is difficult to keep track as to who did what.

Removal of Michael Alberto from the Medford Wikipedia page

Helped
Hello Orville1974,

I'm pretty old and new to Wikipedia, so I didn't know how to message you at first.

You have seemed to remove "Michael Alberto" from the Medford page in error. He is a very successful video editor and frequently interacts with members in our Medford Public Access community. He has achieved over 3 million views on YouTube videos he was edited. I will cite some of them below.

Michael's work (credited in the description): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiUmcSmWmjc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEgS27mWaDY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSbc8w5Kkcg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qb4m0PDQU8&t=2s Proof he's from Medford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MetpfzIBEw

If you wouldn't mind readding him soon, that'd be great. If not I can.

Thank you

Uber Section

Helped
Hey Orville,

I consider the uber criticism section very general, is not talking about uber, instead, is talking about the rideshare business in general. However, other pages like Lyft (who has the same problems) remain clean in criticism. This is not neutral/fair, should be changed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.131.163.243 (talk) 07:44, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The article's title is "Are Taxis Safer Than Uber?" The article is specifically addressing Uber, and yes, it is critical. Have you considered finding a reliable source for an opposing opinion on Uber, or a similar opinion on Lyft? Orville1974 (talk) 07:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to KMIR-TV, without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 23:10, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mvcg66b3r:. I apologize for not looking up the standardized naming for stations before moving it. Thanks for putting it back in the right place. Orville1974 (talk) 23:18, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Orville,

It seems you have recently edited our School wiki page, removing important information. It is unknown whether or not you attend our school, but we please ask you to not change anything further on.

Clayton Valley Charter High School Page

Helped
Hello I go to Clayton Valley and I saw that stuff on the page was incorrect specififcally the listing of our principal as John McMorris (which is incorrect as our principal is Jeff Anderson) and the Superintendent is not Dave Linzey (he was the executive director and he was fired)

If you could tell me how to properly cite this information that would be very helpful

Thank You From

Hi, @MaySun18: First off, thank you for editing Wikipedia! To make the changes you'd like to see, you can either click "cite" toward the top of the article while you're editing to include a source (perhaps the school district's website), or you can mention your concern on the article's talk page Talk:Clayton Valley Charter High School, and eventually someone else will come by to fix it. Orville1974 (talk) 01:30, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for including the source information. I cleaned up a broken link in the references and added more content regarding the school in the controversy section. Orville1974 (talk) 02:27, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Resolved

Are you serious nominating Phantom Boy for deletion? Its overwhelmingly notable, a quick Google search will tell you that. Just look at the Rotten Tomatoes page it was reviewed by all of the major newspapers and that's only the American reviews. It should be withdrawn ASAP. Koala15 (talk) 02:36, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the head's up. When I came across the article it was in really bad shape (and was being edited by an undeclared WP:COI). I acted too hastily in discounting its credibility. Another editor has fixed it, and I've requested a speedy keep. Orville1974 (talk) 02:46, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ben Shapiro Page

Helped
Hello, okay, I am just trying to learn what the rules are and I sincerely appreciate the advice. I added a quote Obama said to his page and someone removed it as they said not every gaffe needs to be mentioned. So I followed that principle and removed a gaffe from Ben Shapiro's page to which people seem to say that is not okay. It seems the rules are only enforced on one side — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dy3o2 (talk • contribs) 05:07, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please follow your comments with 4 of these: ~. It's what creates your signature at the end of your inputs so it's easier for other editors to know who is saying what, and how to contact you. I'll take a look at your edits to see what you're referring to. Orville1974 (talk) 05:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dy3o2:, here's my take, for what it's worth. The article on Obama chronicles his entire life, but highlights that he is an attorney, politician, and the 44th president. In that article, there is a small paragraph regarding his stance on gun control. His gaffe did not contradict his stance on gun control, it overstated the simplicity in children purchasing guns. Since his article is not about him being a gun control activist, your addition lends undue weight to his gaffe (see WP:RSUW which will explain this in more detail). On the other hand, the interview with Shapiro was about two major portions of the article (that he is a commentator and author) as Shapiro's notoriety comes from him being "a political commentator, public speaker, author, and lawyer." Contradictions between what he says as a commentator and what he writes as an author, therefore, are quite significant. Orville1974 (talk) 05:27, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dy3o2: I meant to include this source, too: Talk:Ben Shapiro. It's the talk page of the Ben Shapiro article. If you look at both archived pages as well as the current page (the links are in the beige box at the top of the page), you'll see how consensus was reached when editors disagreed about what content should/should not be included in the article. These talk pages are accessible for any article by clicking the Talk tab near the top left of the screen. Orville1974 (talk) 05:35, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the time you took to explain it to me. I just learned about the talk page on articles so I will go that route from now on. I agree that it was fair to remove the portion of Obama's gaffe, but I also think that the BBC interview was not important enough to mention since he has done many interviews, but I will try to talk about it on the talk page. Dy3o2 (talk) 05:41, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dy3o2: I see you found the talk page and started the conversation. I just put my two cents in. The Ben Shapiro article and it's talk page should now be in your watchlist (links at the very top right of your screen). You can click on the link to see the status of any changes made to pages you've edited (bold means the current edit is yours, an empty dot means no changes have been made since the last time you looked at the page, and a filled dot means there have been changes). It's an easy way to monitor articles you've edited to follow up on their status/talk page conversations/etc.. Orville1974 (talk) 05:53, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen quite a few usernames with aesthetic tweaks such as yours, and I was wondering if you could direct me to a reference that could help me learn to change my own. I've looked in the past, but never managed to turn up anything. Best regards. :) TheTechnician27 (talk) 09:08, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at the source editor of pages when I came across signatures I liked, and copied/mixed/matched elements from the signatures I liked. You can mess around with the stuff you copy in your sandbox to get it to look the way you like. Now, I like the ones I see that look sort of 3D with a shadow behind them, but I'm happy enough with that I have, and can't really be bothered to change it again. Mostly, it's nice to be able to scan a page and be able to quickly find my edits (I picked a color that isn't used often). Orville1974 (talk) 09:20, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and once you decide on what you like, you paste it into your preferences, user profile, signature with the checkmark for "treat as wikimarkup". Here's one for you to start with TheTechnician27 shout me out

For some reason I couldn't put it into words, but you captured perfectly why this seems useful: being able to scan a page for edits I've made without Ctrl+F would make navigation just that extra bit easier. Also, I realize now that I couldn't find the page because I was searching "username" instead of "signature". Thanks so much for the help! TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 10:14, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Celia Fisher article

Resolved

For now, just sit tight. I've referred the matter to the Copyright Cleanup Unit (CCU), a group of people who are skilled at discerning which edits are copyrighted and removing them from the article's history. In the case of the article specifically, you are to be commended for bring this up, but in a closer look through the history I see that one of the editors who added a massive amount of material to the article has been blocked as a sock account. We need to do a thorough look see and make sure we get it all, and I'd rather get this right the first time then have to keep coming back to it. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:59, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. You'll notice that none of the information in the current article is derived from your website. Self-published sources are not considered reliable for inclusion in Wikipedia, nor is the encyclopedia article intended to be a brochure for the company. That does mean that there is usually a delay between when something happens (like annual revenue changes or business locations), and when (or even if) third-party sources address the changes. When the coverage exists, editors are usually pretty timely about making the changes. Orville1974 (talk) 18:42, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
