I am really not sure what to do about it, other than request long-term page protection. Looking at the recent article history, I can't see where it was readded, but the anon. user was actually trying to remove it, and then finding himself reverted. It's interesting to see an anon. attempting to do the right thing and being reverted, first by a bot, then by an experienced user. Luckily, you were paying attention. I would like to never see that list again. Cheers! ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 17:41, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I worked for the director on the Goonies, and there is a lot misinformation in the article (example, in the DVD section it was Donner, not Spielberg that shot the music video). I am trying to make corrections, but my source is, well ME. How do I do that? I also don't know what character is a "tildes."Zippidydodah (talk) 22:36, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Re-April 2013Hey, the information that you removed from the Shere Khan page was actually correct. Just as Shere Khan yells out "TEN!" Mowgli is frightened to the point of dropping the stick he was intending to defend himself with. I could probably find a clip of the moment if you want proof. --Sage94 (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2013 (UTC) Here is the video of their final battle. So I'm just going to re-add the information and try to use better grammar, okay? --Sage94 (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

This page is inconsistent with the Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources page that you cite. If you are dissatisfied with www.tvguide.com as a source, perhaps you could make a suggestion as to which source might be might be up to your standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmcooperstein (talk • contribs) 16:18, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok. So your position is that I need another source, which meets the wiki standards for reliability, that makes specific reference to the fact that there is a joke about KM in that episode? Think about that. If I were quoting from a book and not a TV show, would I be required to find a second source which verifies the quote from the primary source? This exceeds the standards set by academic publications. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nmcooperstein (talk • contribs) 18:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
Brewster, New York in popular cultureI was going to start a whole new message on this subject, but I see that somebody else has something similar; What is it going to take to convince you that the references to Brewster, New York in TV shows such as That Girl and The Sopranos are legitimate? Brewster is frequently mentioned in the dialogue, and books that cover television frequently mention that Ann Marie and her parents are from Brewster. Of course the actual scenes were filmed somewhere in Southern California, but I forget the exact location, and it's completely irrelevant anyway. I can't find anything regarding Tony Soprano's sister living there yet, but I can keep trying. -------User:DanTD (talk) 01:00, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

More of your two centsI know you're already involved, but Salix has offered a suggestion. I don't knoooow. What do you think?! I ask you given your status an one of the established article regulars. Discussion here. AmericanDad86 (talk) 23:05, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Source for University of Oklahoma on Fred HaiseHey, I didn't see any of the material in the infobox sourced so I didn't bother to provide the source for the alma mater. It is from his biography that is referenced on the page. Okheric (talk) 15:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Verifiability vs likelihood to be challengedHi Doniago. I can see why you had that "deletionist" ANI discussion... :-) The discussion there included the differentiation between referencing existing text and newly added text (some argued that it was more important to source newly added text). Consider the following example from/about Futurama Hyperchicken with the existing description:
and the text that I added
I'm curious: when you are going through and checking other people's edits, reading newly added text, do you consider the 'context' of where it is added? For example, in the example above, the last two sentences are IMO just as unlikely (or likely) to be challenged as what I added - the difference is that some of it is "existing text". And all of it is unsourced anyway. So why the inconsistency?
Anthony KiedisMight I ask why you continue to remove his alias/nicknames from his page? These were names he went by. Cole Dammett was actually his onscreen name as a child actor which he used in a few television shows and movies. I even provided a link with direct quotes from Kiedis' book mentioning all of these names that he went under or were called. Tony Flow was his alias/nickname early on and was even in the band's name prior to becoming Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jason1978 (talk) 02:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Mark Salling edithi Doniago this is User:Ranikh13 i apologize for not giving the right source for my edit the other day about Mark Salling's religious views in the category section. here the links to prove my statement: Link 1: in the trivia section line 16 "in real life he is a christian" Link 2: this link provides a quote from Mark Salling "I personally have a relationship with Jesus Christ… and I count on that myself."

I noticed that of the top 10 contributors to the page The Fifth Element, we are the only two that have made edits this year (the top 2 contributors haven't edited the article since 2010 and 2009 respectively), so you're the only person I am contacting about this. I don't know if you're still interested in the article but I hope you are. I have recently made over 30 edits to the page. I have removed all the dead links and found replacements, I have added about a dozen new references and I have expanded several areas. I'm doing this as I intend to nominate the article for good article status. Before I do I thought I'd ask the opinion of another experienced editor who is interested in the article of what they think needs doing. Any suggestions? Can you see any areas that could use improvement? I'd rather get issues ironed out before I got to GA review, so as to make the nomination less complicated. Freikorp (talk) 14:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Animal FarmHi there ^_^ I noticed that you removed an edit I made to Animal Farm regarding allegories, so I went back and added it back with citations and references. I do appreciate the work you do on Wikipedia to maintain quality of articles! We always need editors who care about Wikipedia and work to make it the best reference source available to everyone :) I noticed from your talk page that you support WP:BURDEN, which is great! Carefully balancing WP:BURDEN with WP:PRESERVE is another thing that maintains high quality in Wikipedia articles and ensures that those visiting Wikipedia for information can learn and grow and, hopefully, also become future Wikipedia contributors! Keep up the good work ^_^ --AutoGyro (talk) 18:34, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
I have ...... left a comment on the RfC insisting editor's talk page to encourage them to understand that further action is not always desirable. I hope I have couched it in even handed terms with sufficient decent advice to allow them to consider their next action with good logic. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:29, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Quotations inside/outsideI understand what you're getting at, but either way it's a loophole. The policy I gave you reads "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the English of that nation," and the name of the article is "American" Dad and has focused heavily on American subjects. Not only that but there's a policy that such debate about the issue is counterproductive and that the punctuation should follow the majority variants of the article. The majority of that article has punctuation inside. AmericanDad86 (talk) 19:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC) It also says here that to initiate such a debate as you did with me is useless and counterproductive. That is, an article that mainly uses one form of the variant, should be continually used so as to be consistent. I was making that section consistent with all the other sections. You have now made it inconsistent with all the other sections. AmericanDad86 (talk) 19:08, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Season 8, 9Hi Doniago, I'm just letting you know that I found sources for Angry Dad's position in this debate Talk:List of American Dad! episodes#Season issue again. I didn't realize there were so many sources that supported his position which is rather contradictory to yours. I'm supporting the move along with Angry Dad and will be letting him know.AmericanDad86 (talk) 22:14, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotWe are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page. IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation. Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. Changes to SuggestBot's suggestionsWe have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
