Ray Comfort pageHello Sue, There is a popular misperception about Mr. Comfort in terms of his banana "argument". (People believe he was setting forth a lame, uninformed, idiotic argument on his television program when in reality he was only repeating statements he had previously said on stage for laughs.) A sentence in the article perpetuates the incorrect sentiment, and I just wanted to change that by having it tell the whole story. The external link I tried to supply (as a reference) along with my edit substantiates everything I am saying. If it's worth noting: I'm not a regular contributor/editor by any means, so I was confused about how to put in a citation and properly add a reference, formatted correctly. (My proposed changes: ...in one of his tongue-in-cheek sermon jokes (mistakenly seen as an actual argument for the existence of God)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2vj3T485Vc) Thanks for your oversight and any help you can provide. Birdy29 (talk) 07:26, 9 November 2012 (UTC) At least perform an investigation before reverting.Hi Sue, reverting my edit so quickly with a generic revert notice has me questioning whether you read and understood my justification in the edit notes. As far as I can tell you're using automated systems to revert incidental edits without actually looking at the context of the edit within the article. In my case, a simple read through of the article (which I had done) would show that notable glitches and problems are well-described in the article body itself, making a separate page section tacked on to the bottom with a single unreferenced and poorly written entry superfluous. If there was a reference I would have left it, but the phrase itself is clearly just someone's commentary on a particular technical issue. It's a shame your tools didn't pick up THAT edit instead of my removal of it. 124.170.101.250 (talk) 04:29, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
Moved from AboveHi Sue, i agree with the above user, in that you have tagged/reported me for "vandalism", because Michael Bloomburg "Resides" in a tax-haven, and because i mentioned his tax-report to the Inland Revenue Service? I find you and Jethrobot may be in contact outside of wiki, in collusion to censor factual data entry into wikipedia. Please do not continue to "join the club" when it comes to participating in censor of PUBLIC INTEREST DISCLOSURE, such as Bloombergs Asian media company, and his tax-haven residences. Sue, you have improperly flagged/tagged/reported me for editing Michael Bloomberg, with regards to TAX and Asia. Your actions (i dont know if its automated or if you phisically do these things) are deplorable and surely not constructive. Perhaps you should IMPROVE an article rather than censor other entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.37.133.218 (talk • contribs) 23:33, 4 November 2012
Dear Sue, i do not believe that you are old at all! However, Bloomberg does indeed "reside" in Bermuda, next door to Silvio Berlusconi. There is ample evidence for this FACT. Also, for Jethrobot to suggest that Bloomberg Direct "does not seem to exist" is surely evidence of ignorance of FACT, because amongst Reuters, AP, WSJ, Bloomburg Direct is in the top 5 of global financial data "services". But you knew that too.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.37.133.218 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 4 November 2012

Reversion of Saudi Arabia Driving AgeHi Sue Rangell/Archives/Sunday 11th of November 2012 12:06:59 PM, Your recent reversion of my modification to the driving age in Saudi Arabia was misguided. Visiting the source link indicates that the driving age is 25, and not 29 as is currently indicated. 75.156.9.228 (talk) 23:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
Licavoli Family hoaxYou didn't check the sources, did you? Licavoli Crime Family is a hoax that has already been deleted under the title Licavoli Mob. I'm assuming it lasted as long as it did because of confusion with the legitimate Cleveland crime family, controlled by mobsters with the name Licavoli. Just figured I should let you know. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 20:05, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
RollbackHello, following a review of your contributions, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please take note of the following:
October 2012Hi Sue! You recently undid one of my recent contributions to RockLive and I was wondering which edit it was and why? I updated the RockLive logo to match their recently updated LinkedIn page, but now that is gone as well as the contribution I made about their latest game "Play Blackjack". All of the info was factual info and correct according to RockLive's public info. Please get back to me on my talk page. Thank you. Urfavoritemija (talk) 17:01, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Troll Hunter editHello, after watching the film I looked it up on wikipedia. Following the link for the 38th Saturn Awards, here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38th_Saturn_Awards#Film clearly states that "The Skin I Live In" won the award and that Troll Hunter was only nominated. Would you please change the status of the award on Troll Hunter's page to nom. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.196.32 (talk) 22:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Lindt & Sprüngli editDespite your assertion that my correction was not constructive, it is a matter of fact that macarons and macaroons are two entirely different and unrelated confections that people commonly confuse. The article does in fact refer to macarons rather than macaroons. I believe it should be handled just as any other factual confusion and that my correction should stand.

Catherine I of Russia EditHi Sue! You recently undid one of my recent contributions to Catherine I of Russia and I was wondering why? I added a legacy page, but now that is gone. All of the info was factual according to the history magazines such as 1- The article by Ziya Sakir, from the April 1950 issue of "Resimli Tarih Mecmuasi," or "Illustrated History Magazine." in Turkey. 2- You can find the story here also: http://www.tallarmeniantale.com/catherine-the-great.htm You can even find large discussions between historicians about this story in youtube 3- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xo8JdutdL0 4- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxfNq6eoi_E The thing is that this topic has been controversial for 300 years between the historicians and this legacy of Catherine I of Russia should be known. Please, put my edit again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.214.11 (talk) 05:00, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Well , 1- the first source is the current Catherine I of Russia information: In the part 'Marriage and Family Life' there are these sentences: "Catherine continued to accompany Peter on his Pruth Campaign in 1711. There Catherine was said to have saved Peter and his Empire, as related by Voltaire in his book Peter the Great. Surrounded by overwhelming numbers of Turkish troops, Catherine suggested before surrendering, that her jewels and those of the other women be used in an effort to bribe the Grand Vizier Baltaji into allowing a retreat. Baltaji allowed the retreat, whether motivated by the bribe or considerations of trade and diplomacy. In any case Peter credited Catherine and proceeded to marry her again (this time officially) at Saint Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg on 9 February 1712. " Clearly, she helps her husband and gave a bribe. When this is successful, they marry. 2- The second source is the current page 'Baltacı Mehmet Pasha'. In the subsection 'From Istanbul to Lemnos', it is said that "He was accused of accepting a bribe from Catherine I of Russia and was dismissed from his post in 20 November 1711. Baltacı was exiled to the islands of Lesbos (Midilli) and later Lemnos (Limni), where he died the next year (July 1712)." So, basically the story that the queen goes to Baltaji and gave him a bribe to convince him to sign a treaty is written in the current wiki pages. Even, after this thing, the information that the queen is marrying and Baltaji is exiled is again given in current wikipedia pages. The rest is just opening a subsection 'Legacy' and tell this event in story. And, I have done this according to the article by Ziya Sakir, from the April 1950 issue of "Resimli Tarih Mecmuasi," or "Illustrated History Magazine." in Turkey. It is a Turkish article, but you can find its content in english in this page : http://www.tallarmeniantale.com/catherine-the-great.htm So, I alreadt provided the sources. I don't understand for which part I should provide a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.12.214.11 (talk) 05:25, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Sabado gigante edit revertingYou reverted my edit to sabado gigante. You should know that the correct translation of La Cámara Viajera is not "the travelling film" but rather "The travelling camera", as i wrote. A quick Google search will verify this for you. Hopefully, you find having the listed translation be correct, less "not helpful" this time around.
Did you mean to revert my edit?[[3]] Hello Sue, Thank you for your thoughts! I'm a bit confused as to why you reverted my edit on the "Peer to Peer lending" article? I'm a bit new here at Wikipedia, so please bear with me if I made a mistake. I wanted to update Lending Club and Prosper's loan volume to be more up to date, as the last time this sentence was updated was 2 months ago, in August 2012. I wanted to put in the latest info for everyone. Was this not correct? Thank you for your assistance!
Odd reversionI was inquiring to know why you have reverted what I wrote? while the movie is rated R wikipedia should be mindful of child readers so i try to use more technical language as to not upset children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.124.25.24 (talk) 23:38, 31 October 2012 (UTC) It would be helpful if you could link to the revert. I patrol vandalism and revert a couple of hundred edits every day. I am also human, and makes mistakes once in a while. --Sue Rangell[citation needed] 23:42, 31 October 2012 (UTC) Why did you undo my revisionI added an additional Princess that Disney acquired in a recent buyout of Lucas Films to the Disney Princess list. I wonder why you removed that Princess. I cited my source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Writerbenjamin (talk • contribs) 00:13, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Undoing my supplements on Elijah Wood's pageI don't get it. Why you undo my supplements on Elijah Wood's personal life section? I cited the source. And this information is already in Wiki.

Kazak koka (talk) 10:44, 5 November 2012 (UTC) Dolmus/Share Taxi Edit ExplinationHello Sue, I'm a bit disappointed that you undid my change in the dolmus-share taxi section, reverting "visitors to Turkey" back to "Westerners". Please allow me to explain my chance: first, the original article cited made no explicit distinction between the "West" and "East", therefore reflecting a subjective notion on the part of whomever cited this article. Additionally, many Turkish people (myself included) consider Turkey to be an European country with a Western lifestyle and culture. Therefore, writing "Westerners may be surprised by the dolmus" implies an unfair dichotomy that implies Turkey to be an "Eastern" country - whether Turkey is "Eastern" or "Western" is not the point of the article, but I don't think it's constructive to unnecessarily introduce this "East-West" dichotomy. It is also not entirely accurate; surely a Japanese or Taiwanese tourist may also be surprised by the speed of a dolmus, even though they are not from a "Western" country. Therefore, I believe my change of "visitors to Turkey may be surprised at the speed of the dolmus" to be better worded version from the original. I hope you can consider my points and reinstate the change, thanks very much. You reintroduced some vandalism with your recent edit to Keith Urban; Please exercise additional caution when considering an undo of someone else's countervandalism, such as the reverts done by Cluebot.

Re; Outer Dimensional ForcesNot constructive!!? Perhaps you object to my language, but the misinformation is NOT constructive either. I speak from PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE, of over 35 years of on-site association with this Operation. It is slander to call the ATA Base Operation a "UFO-believing cult". Why are you in a position to over-rule my contribution to correct said misinformation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwhodunit (talk • contribs) 02:21, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I do not understand how the addition was not constructive when in fact the information is correct as you can see from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Looney_(offensive_lineman). My only mistake which I just realized I made was that he is a Class of 2008 graduate not Class of 2012.

I said what was the truth that's all.When I changed the Go Radio page, I was speaking the truth. I am a personal friend of Jason Lancaster's, and HE told me about Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount's relationship. I would say that Lancaster, given that he has recorded 2+ albums with the two, is reliable enough :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hfrawker (talk • contribs) 01:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC) seriously, get off my back about go radio you jerk >.< — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hfrawker (talk • contribs) 03:22, 3 November 2012 (UTC) I checked 67.168.206.54's recent edit to the List of radio stations in Texas page and it was correct. KJKB is indeed silent (otherwise known as "dark") as of November 2, 2012, per the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) website. With that, I have recended the warning you gave.

Time?Hi Sue, I realize it's not exactly your thing, but if you have a few minutes, would you look over Maternal sensitivity? It's up for WP:GA, and while it has a few solvable problems (e.g., prose), I'm a little worried that I may have missed something big.

Game of thrones vote on originSand stein is intent on engaging in an edit war on the game of thrones "origin of show in lead" issue. This issue is black and white when it comes to consistency. Dr who has it. Harry potter has it. Eastenders has it. House has it. The walking dead has it. Where is the confusion on whether it should be in the game of thrones? Why the double standard? Remove origin from this lead and remove it from all. Is it possible to call this to a vote?--Brickcity55 (talk) 18:38, 4 November 2012 (UTC) Valley Forge Military AcademyDear Sue, I was really bored when I started writing about the school but a lot of what I put is true. Valley Forge Military Academy forgot to put in their SAT score, ACTUAL academic life (actually consisting of less than seven hours of sleep for most cadets), and how plebe system has changed throughout the years to prevent scaring people away from the school. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTruthAboutVF (talk • contribs) 04:58, 5 November 2012 (UTC) Fractional Reserve BankingHello Sue Rangell.
