The herald 15:33, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
The Herald - how sweet - thank you!! And thank you for being so patient and giving of your time. I'm pretty excited about a couple new projects I'm working on offline, and also trying to improve a very inaccurate "start" article that relies heavily on self-published sources, and original research.

FA congratulations
Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of American paddlefish to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,287 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 10:46, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, Bencherlite. I believe in the DYK/GA/FA process, admire the reviewers for their diligence, and generosity of their time, and hope I will be able to help bring more quality articles to Wikipedia. Atsme☯Consult 12:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Today's Featured Article: Notification
This is to inform you that American paddlefish, which you nominated at WP:FAC, will appear on the Wikipedia Main Page as Today's Featured Article on 24 December 2014. The proposed main page blurb is here; you may amend if necessary. Please check for dead links and other possible faults before the appearance date. Brianboulton (talk) 23:24, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Precious
intrinsic beauty of sharing knowledge
Thank you, free at last, for quality articles such as American paddlefish and Gabor B. Racz, written with the background of experience and in the spirit that there's "something indescribable, yet intrinsically beautiful about sharing knowledge", - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

and I had to add a redirect
I added the redirect for the "C C of N" as somehow the current Wikipedia editors seem not to have known it <g>. Howdy Doody was "first show of the evening" and had its very own test pattern. And the first Howdy had "plastic surgery" <g> due to a dispute with the puppet maker. I know - way too much trivia. Collect (talk) 14:45, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
@Collect: - Great trivia! Who can forget Doodyville?
- Buffalo Bob: Who's the funniest clown in town?
- Audience: CLARABELL!
- Buffalo Bob: Who makes you laugh when you wanna frown?
- Audience: CLARABELL!
- Buffalo Bob: His feet are big, his tummy's stout, but we could never do without...
- Audience: CLARA, CLARA, CLAR-A-BELL!!!
And then there was, Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!!! I had to have a coonskin cap. Too young to know who he truly was, or what he believed. [1] Another favorite, Have Gun — Will Travel Ha! Thanks for the memories....<---my salutation made me think of Bob Hope. Never ends, but that's a good thing - like what Steven Jobs said about on-off switches.

Proposed lede
If you are accepting the changes I proposed you might actually change the model. Doing so will allow other editors to comment further on what is needed. BTW, I take issue on some items. For instance becoming a CFP is the essential encyclopedic info we want, not the motivation. Also his assistant station gig comes from his Whos Who profile (which I purchased) -- it seems to have been enhanced with time. His assertion about founding American Media is SPS, not backed by other sources, and involves a third party -- the corporate (non)-entity. I hope you'll consider my comments here. Later I shall post needed observations in the thread. Please keep up the effort. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 04:42, 6 February 2015 (UTC) Added suggestion: make the suggested changes and check off with {{Done}}. 04:50, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- Srich32977 - please take a look at GA Murray Rothbard, under section title Life and work, subtitle Education - He attended Columbia University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics in 1945 and, eleven years later, his PhD in economics in 1956. The delay in receiving his PhD was due in part to conflict with his advisor, Joseph Dorfman, and in part to Arthur Burns rejecting his doctoral dissertation. That article is in line with what I'm shooting for with Griffin and why I feel the explanations are important to the BLP. Atsme☯Consult 05:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- But ... the Rothbard material you reference are in the article text, not the lede. Since the Griffen page is off of PP, you might make the changes in the sections. Remember, we want to keep the lede as concise as possible. Moreover you've got to get consensus for your proposed lede. The lede is the center of most of the contentiousness.. – S. Rich (talk) 05:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest you drop the "was honorably discharged" phrasing. Unless something unusual happens (such as a court-martial, or administrative board action) everyone leaves the military with an honorable discharge. Seeking to add the phrase is gilding the lily. – S. Rich (talk) 16:35, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
BRD at Griffin, please
It's really better to stand back when your bold edit is reverted. I understand that you may feel that your text is an obvious improvement, but once a disagreement is evident, it is best to discuss it on talk. Please consider undoing your reinsertion of text. It would be a strong display of good faith in discussing things on talk. SPECIFICO talk 23:15, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- SPECIFICO, I've been discussing the same things repeatedly on Griffin Talk for 60 days, and the discussions have gotten us nowhere. Now Jytdog is WP:SQS, WP:OWN, WP:Tendentious editing and WP:Forumshopping. His behavior requires review by ARBCOM. I am currently reviewing the process for filing. But I thank you for your suggestion. My edits are fundamentally compliant, they are good edits, encyclopedic, and have improved the article. There was not one reason for Jytdog to revert the work I did. I have bent over backwards to appease the POV pushers, and I believe the diffs I have accumulated will establish what is necessary for an ARBCOM review. Atsme☯Consult 23:30, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's fine for you to pursue whatever channels you feel are appropriate, but remember it's important to assume good faith. Calling other editors "POV pushers" here doesn't help resolve the matter, but it can be expected to inflame the interactions around this article. FYI, Arbcom is going to examine whether you have exhausted other remedies and Arbcom will not decide content-related issues, only behavioral issues. SPECIFICO talk 00:08, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
