While you and I often had different points of view, I believe that we found mutual respect and that we both operate with a value on strong logic and courteousness to other editors. You've been absent from the Rolfing article for a number of months, and the tone has deteriorated in your absence. I'm not expecting that you will side with me (the opposite is usually more likely) but I do hope that you might be able to advise me on how to navigate the WP rules and structure. Please consider returning to the fray. --Karinpower (talk) 17:00, 13 July 2016 (UTC) Is a 'welcome back'... in order? —ATS 🖖 talk 03:42, 21 April 2017 (UTC) Welcome back!It's really good to see you editing again :-) Alexbrn (talk) 18:07, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
AWBHello MrBill3. Thank you for cleaning up articles. Please make sure not to alter quotes when removing honorifics. I've not finished patrolling my watchlist yet but already have seen three quote alteration instances. The other problem I saw recur is moving {{dead link}} tags in the footnote when one was already there (the other intended for the article text, which would best be kept as-is or deleted instead of moved/duplicated). Thanks, —PaleoNeonate – 01:03, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

I wish to add some references that validate this fact and are not available on-line in electronic format due to age. I would be more than happy to add these references but, as a neophyte editor, I am not sure if that is even possible. These documents are over 30 years old. I have several original letters, written in Stanley Bleifeld's hand, that document my involvement. I also have an e-mail between Stanley and myself from 10 years ago (just prior to his passing) that also validates my involvement. I appreciate that some of my recently added and easily verifiable references have been accepted. Thank you for your work to ensure that the integrity of Wikipedia is solid.

Florida NRHPs references, development neededHi, i saw your note at wt:NRHP and hence your development of Pompano Beach Mound. Thanks for developing that up from "NRIS-only" status to being a quite acceptable Wikipedia article. You might not know that there's a tally sheet at wp:NRHPPROGRESS which shows status of referencing in NRHP articles. It happens that Florida has by far the most "NRIS-only" ones, i.e. it has the greatest need/opportunity for article improvements. National Register of Historic Places listings in Broward County, Florida is listed as having 17 reference-deficient articles, now maybe it is less one for your effort. I've been working on reducing those tallies in other states, following tips in wp:NRHPHELP. If you'd like to work on other Florida NRHP articles, I'd be happy to cooperate, e.g. perhaps developing Bryan Building and the others in Broward County. I am pretty fast at putting in the NRHP references which are available online from the National Park Service now for almost all Florida NRHPs, but some more development using the reference and perhaps other references is needed too. I'll watch here for your reply, but feel free to ping me or post at my Talk page if I seem to have missed something, or for any other reason. Keep up your good work! cheers, --doncram 01:34, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
"A Day In Hollywood" editHi there - I got your note about the edit I made to the article on "A Day In Hollywood/A Night In The Ukraine." Respectfully, I don't quite understand or agree with your assessment of my edit. Everything in my entry is fact, and in fact, I was trying to correct some generalities about the show that I found exaggerated (the bit about the amount of tap dancing, for instance), or otherwise incorrect. I have done the show - I know the material well, and I know of what I speak. I was not trying to "promote" the show or do anything else that wouldn't fit in with a neutral point of view. I was merely clarifying what the content and style of the show actually is. I ask respectfully that my comments be restored, unless you can point to anything *specific* that is actually incorrect about the information. Thanks much, 2601:182:CF80:D8A:9C82:8:B71B:B496 (talk) 00:44, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi - I do not wish to argue, though I think if I were to do the research I could cite the sourses for my changes. I'm also rather amused by the accusation of "conflict of interest" as to me that suggests that a professional cannot contribute information about their subject of expertise - I'm sure you did not mean that. But, never mind - life is too short. However, I did remove the (restored) statement about tap dance, which is incorrect, and additionally does not have a citation listed to a reliable source. (I also find that particular statement to be more subjective than objective. In any case, the show does not in any way have a "significant amount" of tap dance - that is not a supportable statement.) Thank you for your guidance. 2601:182:CF80:D8A:9C82:8:B71B:B496 (talk) 19:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
I read about his daughters, and it doesn't mention them having any children. So I assumed that they don't have kids; anyway, it doesn't talk about James Garner having grandchildren, but I looked on this website, I think it was Answers.com, and it seemed to confirm he had three teenage grandchildren. I'm kind of torn over which source to believe.--92.30.169.228 (talk) 16:19, 13 December 2017 (UTC) Dear Bill, I'm writing on 16 Dec. 2017 and I have now figured out what it was that you removed .. i.e. the comment that the Reserve is not a heritage listed place. Viz. below: The Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve, but not a heritage listed place, that is located in the northerns suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The 10.768-hectare (26.61-acre) reserve is situated in the suburb of St Ives, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the Sydney central business district. This is NOT particularly important to have in the article and I guess was just a comment in passing. Re your comment "but you didn't provide a reliable source" the heritage listing in New South Wales may be found in an online inventory maintained by the NSW Government and searchable here: http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/heritagesearch.aspx Searching there I don't think you will find the place .. hence it is said it is not a listed heritage place. How do you suggest one would provide a source for something NOT being listed? If there is a way then I will try to do it. But it not, then (as I noted) it is not really important and can be just forgotten about. NB: I am not good at adding REFERENCES either .. hope to learn that before too long. Regards, John (john.mail at Ozemail)
I found your comment "Based on the information in the message you left I think it is necessary to direct you to the conflict of interest policy, particularly the section on Paid editing". Can you please explain what you are meaning by this. Was their something about anything written on Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve that made you think of paid editing? Best Regards, John (at 16 December 2017).
I'd like to discuss with you this as below as you would know a lot more than me about what is a reliable source and how to cite such . I am John Byrnes contactable as john dot mail at ozemail dot com dot au. I have a small Council grant for working on history of this place so will be wanting no doubt to add further discoveries about it in future. Best Regards, John.

Changing citation stylesIn regard to your edits at Henry Perrine, the content guideline at Wikipedia:Citing sources says:
While I believe that substituting {{sfn}} formatting for <ref></ref>, by itself, is acceptable, I also believe that noticeable changes to how citations and references appear to the reader violate the guideline. I just ask that you keep the guideline in mind. - Donald Albury 16:12, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

False Removal of Information on Gabbie Hanna PageYou removed information from the page Gabbie Hanna stating that it was unsourced. It was sourced. There were references in the text. You changed a section where I added the fact she released her merchandise. However, you reverted it back to something false yourself as her merch has sense been released. The section about the book was already there and already sourced I just reworded it to make it make more sense. The reason for your revert edit is false as there was sourced information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VoltronUniverse (talk • contribs) 18:43, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

It also directly states in the Wikipedia censorship guidelines that "Content will be removed if it is judged to violate Wikipedia policies (especially those on biographies of living persons and neutral point of view)."

Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Just a friendly reminder, because you already know this, but I've ran across several Florida related articles where you've updated references, like nris and forgot to define the reference in the references section. I've fixed all the ones I ran across. Thanks!

I see in some cases like this edit for Bert and Fay Havens House you've added the NRHP nom doc made available by the National Park Service (NPS). In general usage we all have been saying that the publisher for that is the National Park Service, as you did. In some other cases, such as this edit for Ebenezer Andrews House and others in Ohio where the NPS has not made NRHP docs available, you found the newly (or relatively newly) available National Archives versions. I would say those are published by the National Archives, which I believe is not part of the National Park Service. That's how I set up example references in various places with wp:NRHPHELP resource. It's a small point in the grand scheme (it is way more important that a good source is being added), but when the source is the National Archives could you give them credit as publisher, going forward? Or, if you are deliberately trying to make a point that in your opinion the NPS can be regarded as the publisher, could we cooperate in having a central discussion about the technically right thing to do? In my usage, and enshrined in wp:NRHPHELP and/or wp:NRHPFAQ directions, when a state system provides the document, I term the state as the publisher, because it made the document available, etc. Perhaps some could feel differently because it is a filled out NPS form that was produced, or perhaps one might assume that the NPS provided (published?) the forms to the National Archive? (But in fact I think Ohio and Louisiana and other states likely provided the documents to the National Archive for it to publish them.) Eiter way, thanks for doing what you do! --Doncram (talk) 15:17, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

(25 Jul 1974). "National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Ebenezer Andrews House". National Register of Historic Places. Washington, D.C., USA: National Park Service. Retrieved 22 Feb 2020 – via National Archives and Records Administration. @Doncram: please give an example of the what you propose. I think that will help us be clear when discussing in a different forum. I will add to or clarify my thoughts. 1. I believe a nomination form once the property is entered into the register becomes a part of the National Register of Historic Places which is published by the National Park Service. 2. The Keeper of the Register exercises editorial oversight in that nominations are revised until accepted then signed by the keeper at which point they are final. 3. If we are citing the National Register of Historic Places it is only appropriate to cite the publisher as the National Park Service. The existing standard cites the nomination as a title within a work, the work being the National Register. By all means I welcome you to open a discussion in the appropriate forum. Personally I'd like to give my opinion then step back from discussion and if a consensus emerges just follow it. I prefer to focus my wiki time on working on content, but value the process and community. That said, you have raised an excellent point regarding links to multiple urls. In particular for different versions. I have noticed that not all copies at state historical societies are the final copy. In this case I believe the publisher is the State Preservation Officer of the state where the property is. Although nomination forms can be filled out by anyone, only the SPO for the state can nominate a property. The nomination form submitted to the NRHP is edited and signed by the SPO. For a nomination that does not bear the state stamp/seal/signature I think that is published by the website making it available as it has not passed through editorial oversight on state or federal level and is not an official published document. I also think if it is not signed by the keeper we should not list the source as the National Register. The NARA PDFs seem to include the photos submitted, perhaps that could be mentioned in the citation but it's not necessary. Likewise additional content, if one isn't citing the additional correspondence there is no need to put it in the citation. When they are separate PDFs at NRHP a few words for the additional link are needed for explanation and provide an opportunity to credit the creator, and specify the date. I think the link to the images should be included. My personal preference would be to cite the NRHP if available, next NARA, then state societies and others. I haven't encountered a nomination available at NRHP that there was a more complete copy (pix) elsewhere, but if I did I would cite the source with the most content (as long as it included the nomination as entered into the register). Well I hope this is useful in improving the encyclopedia. It's a shame WP:NRHP isn't more active, we should be having this conversation somewhere over there and hearing from others with similar editing interests. By all means open a discussion anywhere you think it would be of interest, useful, appropriate etc. Feel free to quote, paraphrase, mention anything I've said in this discussion if it helps present a complete, clear, concise question. I am glad you appreciate the editing I have been doing in NRHP. My goal is to inspire and provide the source. There is MUCH MORE that can be pulled from most nominations and I INVITE YOU and anyone you might encourage to dive in and add some content. Thank you for your contributions and for the collaborative effort. Best.
