Dottie West Article

If you wish to fix the grammar mistakes, then by all means do so. It will improve the article greatly. I was not the one who reverted the information on her page. Frankly, I was only being rude to you because I thought you were insulting the Dottie West article, when you said, it is such a poor article. I would like if you fixed the grammar mistakes, but please, don't delete any info. Thanks for listening!! LovePatsyCline 17:25, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

John Travolta

Good work on the John Travolta article! Welcome to WP!--Lwieise -=- Talk to Me 03:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The Category Anti-semitic people

I appreciate your comments to the user that supports the category "Anti-semitic people". I agree with your concerns, and I would add that the category violates two Wikipedia policies WP:NPOV and WP:NOR in that it makes Wikipedia make judgments as to whether or not people are anti-semites. That is biased and original research. Drboisclair 19:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Politician categories

I note you've been adding a lot of categories to articles on politicians. Two points:

a) When you add them, can you use [[Category:Whatever|Surname, Name]] rather than just [[Category:Whatever]]? This'll make them sort properly in the categories, so John Smith comes under S not J.

b) You've added quite a few "Supporters of capital punishment" etc. categories - before adding these, can you check that the claim is already made in the article? These seem to be being slapped on with no sources given either in the edit summary or with reference to the text of the article, which isn't good... categories should reflect the content, not be an addition to it. Shimgray | talk | 10:18, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but "there's a source somewhere in the external links" isn't sufficient for something contentious, especially when (as with Tim Kaine) the text of the article seems to contradict your interpretation of the source.

If their stance on capital punishment (or whatever) is significant, it should be mentioned and cited in the article - if it isn't significant enough to be there, it shouldn't be in the categories. Please consider expanding the content as well as just "tagging" Shimgray | talk | 10:34, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

V for Vendetta

Hi. I noticed that you did a lot of edits to the characters from V for Vendetta. Could you possibly add images of the characters who do not have images yet (Etheridge, Heyer, Valarie, etc.)? I already posted links on their pages.- JustPhil 12:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

OCD

Hi. I see you categorized Woody Allen as suffering from OCD. While I don't deny that this seems plausible, I remember that this was debated a few months ago and we could find no credible source that established this. Same goes for a number of other actors. In particular there were a few names given in a Daily Mail column about Beckham but that was pretty much a gossip column. For these kinds of things, it's particularly important to have multiple reliable sources before you start spreading dubious information. Pascal.Tesson 12:58, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, same goes for Winona Ryder (also reverted). Please check the discussion we had a while back on the talk page of obsessive compulsive disorder. We need to avoid transforming Wikipedia into a gossip column. If you have credible sources then by all means do bring this up. Until then I will continue reverting these edits. Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 13:12, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding edits made during September 19 2006 (UTC) to Nikki Grahame

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. _{J Di}^talk 03:31, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, somebody's just pointed out to me that there wasn't any vandalism on this article, but this edit made me think you were vandalising. I'm sorry about that, I'm going to revert it back and correct it. I hope I haven't put you off editing Wikipedia, and I'm sorry for this mistake. _{J Di}^talk 09:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Frank Miller

For future reference, Frank Miller is a disambiguation page. You should be using Frank Miller (comics). Cheers. -- Robocoder (t|c) 21:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Victor E. Marsden

Superb job of changing that article from a laughable mess. Now it's mostly an article about someone who probably doesn't merit an article at all -- it's really yet another of Ludvikus' articles about the history of the Protocols, and someday we'll figure out a way to collate his obviously extensive research into something more suited to Wikipedia.

Keith Olbermann

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your cleanup on Keith Olbermann. Nice job. I'm sure someone will yell at you for the lack of edit summaries, but it won't be me. --BigScaryMike _{(Talk/Contrib)} 03:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Category: Fictional child molestation victims

I started deleting titles of books, movies, etc. in this category that were unaccompanied by a name of a character identified as a victim of child molestation. I did so for the obvious reason that a book or movie cannot itself be a "victim" of "child molestation".

Listing a work without specifying name(s) of victim(s) therein creates an enormous problem of accuracy checking. In at least a few cases, it was far from obvious which character in the fiction might justify inclusion of that fiction in this category.

I fear that this category will quickly be seen to have serious difficulties with Wikipedia rules against original research and non-objective POV. (See discussion page at the category.) But for "Fictional child molestation victims" to have any chance at legitimacy at all, surely each entry must specify a character (the categorical victim) that the editor is claiming qualifies the fiction for inclusion.

Bottom line: I've desisted, for the moment, from further deletions of this tag, but I will resume if the category continues to display titles of fictions with no character identified as fitting the stated category.

People adding to this category will need to follow WIkipedia rules and document how each character fits the category -- by citing passages in the work itself that make clear that the author intends a character to be perceived as a victim, or by citing published secondary sources that objectively discuss the character in this way. SocJan 06:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

MIKE! Glad to know we are on the same page, here. Sorry if the posting above seems inappropriate on your page; I found my way to you probably by misreading the history of the fictional victims of child molestation category. I now realize that you were cleaning up well-intentioned but muddled work by Cgingold and Tony. For which we all owe you thanks! SocJan 22:12, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Update: I've tagged the "Pedophilia and child sexual abuse in fiction" page, questioning its neutral POV and pointing out its extensive violation of No Original Research. You may wish to have another look at this and related pages. SocJan 04:31, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Joseph Goebbels

Hi. Could you possibly remove this bad category you have added (twice)? Goebbels did not kill his children, his wife did, according to everything I've read on the subject. Thanks in advance. --John 03:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Re-creation of deleted categories

You created Category:Survivors of sexual abuse which is a rehash of 2 deleetd categories, see [1] and [2] so have aput a sp3eedy deletion tag on it. Thanks, SqueakBox 20:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Please be careful with your article reorganizations

Howdy Treybein, just a friendly reminder to PLEASE be careful when you are making lots of edits at once. I can see that you're taking on big tasks and I think everyone appreciates that... and I know it can be hard to keep track of stuff when all the names and dates start to blur together, but losing even one or two important points can significantly change an article - and on articles that aren't the most popular, it might take a huge period of time before someone notices the error. Thanks! —Mrand ^T-C 01:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Andy Dick

The Andy Dick article received heavy editing today by new/unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 05:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:Lead section

Please stop removing text from the opening paragraphs of articles (i.e. Jodie Foster, James Franco). See Wikipedia:Lead section: "The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, summarizing the most important points, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies, if there are any. The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic according to reliable, published sources. The lead should not "tease" the reader by hinting at but not explaining important facts that will appear later in the article. It should contain up to four paragraphs, should be carefully sourced as appropriate, and should be written in a clear, accessible style so as to invite a reading of the full article." Hope that helps, All Hallow's Wraith 06:54, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Good cleanup

Good job on cleaning up Politics of Bill O'Reilly. Some of the editors have a less-than-pristine grasp of formal diction and tone; I've been meaning to work on it but have been without net access for a hot minute. Thanks! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 20:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Claude Rains

Hi, I recently noticed you removed a paragraph from Claude Rains in October. If you think a paragraph with relevent content does not belong, you should have mentioned it in the article's talk page. I have restored the paragraph - if you disagree, it can be debated in the talk page. Trenwith (talk) 20:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi - you justify your edit under style rules- can you direct me to this please? thanks Trenwith (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Barbara Gordon

You should really explain on the article's talk page why you removed sourced, relevant material with this edit, or it's likely to be reverted. Pairadox (talk) 00:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Vince Neil

Nice work on the Vince Neil article. I had noticed that it needed some attention but hadn't got around to it. Jonesy (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Sith edits

Can you trim down the article? I've noticed you've added a lot, and quite a bit of it uncited material as well. I don't want to unnecessarily undo your efforts, so perhaps you can go back through the article and provide appropriate citations where necessary and trim that which is not necessary. I'll wait a bit before acting on my own to trim down the article. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 09:17, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Your edits on 9/11 Truth Movement

I rolled back the changes you made to 9/11 Truth Movement, because you removed quite a lot of data from the article, failed to provide an edit summary and did not discuss the major clean-up on the article's talk page. Please note that the neutrality of the article is disputed, and next time you plan to make major changes to the contents of the article, discuss it first on the talk page. Best wishes, DJFishlips (talk) 13:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Poison Ivy edits

Thuran was correct and I was wrong. Your edits were helpful; I had been looking at the wrong version when i reverted your changes. I apologize for the inconvenience. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 06:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Edits to McCain articles

Please be more careful with your edits to John McCain and Early life and military career of John McCain. These articles are both in preparation for FAC. Some of your changes, such as repeated wikilinking and wikilinking of normal English terms, will get them rejected at FAC due to how the reviewers there view the MoS. Similarly, in the Early life and military career of John McCain article we are making a planned decision to use written-out numbers rather than numerals in many cases, which your edits are messing up. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:39, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Sourcing Dave Carpenter

You can source this article really reliably and well using a google book search, in the format of the one reference I added as an example. See this search. Souurces such as these are far better than, for example, the geocities webpage you just cited. Everything you need to fill out the {{cite book}} template is available when you click on a particular book. The links take you right to the page where the material is in the book, the page number is listed, and everything else you need, isbn number, publisher. etc. is accessible by going to the link for "contents" on the right hand side of the page, clicking on the "+" sign, and then looking at the title page and copyright pages of the particular book. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 10:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

David Carpenter (serial killer)

Thanks for removing the section. Its always bothered me.--CyberGhostface (talk) 14:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Truthiness

I noticed you reverted my edit at truthiness without an edit summary. As I understand it, WP:MOSQUOTE states we should avoid wikilinking from within quotes without a good reason. Can you help me understand the reason for the revert? Thanks, --Clubjuggle ^T/C 06:58, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I wish you would be more specific as to what change of yours I supposedly reverted on the truthiness article; as it is, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Treybien 00:00 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm referring to this edit, as seen in the article's edit history. You can post your replies here, I've added this page to my watchlist, and find it easier to keep discussions in one place. Thanks, --Clubjuggle ^T/C 07:10, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Your edits on Downfall_(film)

I undid a change you made to Downfall (film), because you removed a para from the article and failed to provide an edit summary. Let me know your concern with the text and I'll work on it.

And also it'll be helpful to provide edit summaries to your edits, especially deletes. Refer Help:Edit summary for the importance of edit summaries. Jay (talk) 12:15, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I was trying to show the casting of the main character, and how successful it was. Anyway as you say it does sound like a POV, I've modified it to retain only the physical facts. Everything else belongs to the commentary.

And also, when you start a new section on a talk page, add it to the bottom of the page, not the top. Refer talk page layout guidelines. I've corrected it in my talk page. Jay (talk) 11:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Batman Begins

In order to say neutral, we cannot put in our own personal interpretation of people's (whether real or fictional) actions. That means you personally cannot define something as "cruel" or "defenseless", as you're providing a personal opinion of those acts. Also, we don't include quotes from films in the plot section. The point is to keep it succinct, and not bog it down with meaningless quotes. We also do not link common terms, per WP:MOSLINK.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I disagree in one respect: quotes from the film can profitably be included in plot sections. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 07:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Stubs vs, cats

Hi. When you add a category to an article, that does not mean that you should remove a similarly-named stub from it, such as you did with Love Affair (1939 film). The cat and the stub perform different functions, and are not related. Only remove the stub if you expand an article to the point where it can no longer be considered a stub. Thanks. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 07:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Article categories

Hello, I am not completely sure, but I do not think you are going about it correctly in excluding Category:American films. I've raised the issue here. —Erik (talk • contrib) 22:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Arthur Leigh Allen

Hi. You added Arthur Leigh Allen to Category:American rapists. Why was that? He doesn't seem to have been convicted of any rape. --Apoc2400 (talk) 21:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Spelling

Perhaps you are not familiar with Wikipedia's policy on national varieties of English, or perhaps you are unaware that such variations exist. Whatever the case, please do not Americanize spellings as you did at the Meatballs article. It is not necessary. Kelisi (talk) 11:07, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Jason Mewes

Hi, I'm glad you're working on this article, but please be sure that everything you add is ref linked. There used to be a very long personal life section but was removed based on WP:BLP since a lot of it that was referenced was linked to Kevin Smith's blog, which he took down when he published his book that covered it. I put a ref link of <ref name="ew"/> that you can use. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:27, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

March 2009

Please don't change the format of dates, as you did to Natasha Richardson. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on Wikipedia. Thank you. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 03:01, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey -- thanks for your excellent edits on the plot summary of The Island (2005 film). Also, just to let you know, I restored the detailed plot -- and then removed the fluffy OR stuff.

AfD nomination of George Russell (criminal)

I have nominated George Russell (criminal), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Russell (criminal).
