First StudentYou appear to have no real knowledge of the subject. Although all three operations have similar names they are completely different operations. The original USA brand "First Student", and the only one named that way, is a subsidiary of First Transit which covers all First Group operations in America outside of Greyhound. First Student Canada is the public prescence of First Canada, and a brand used by different subsidiary operators like Laidlaw, Cardinal, Farwest, etc, and the operator of many public transit systems. First Student UK mimics the North American yellow school bus concept and is used by local operators to distinguish their school services. The North Americian companies are in fact much larger than many UK regional companies, which have separate articles. All of these First Group companies, subsidiaries and operators are different legal entities and fit in different places in the corporate jigsaw. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:38, 8 March 2010 (UTC) Thanks for your reply. Talk:First Student I have moved this discussion to where, I think we both agree, it should have been in the fist place. (Or is that FirstPlace? Haha!) Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC) Coordinator elections have opened!Voting for the Military history WikiProject coordinator elections has opened; all users are encouraged to participate in the elections. Voting will conclude 23:59 (UTC) on 28 March 2010. TalkbackChanges to the Diamond Castle Holdings pageFirst let me apologize for any syntax or procedural faux pas as I am clearly a "newbie" when it comes to Wikipedia. I am an employee of Diamond Castle Holdings and a few of the founding partners have requested that I modify the Wiki entry for Diamond Castle Holdings to reflect the fact that there were five founders of the firm while the current entry focuses almost exclusively on Larry Schloss. In fact the New York Times article which is referenced in the entry, discusses the five founders, although Larry was clearly the focal point of the article. I went in and manually edited the page each of the past two days and discovered the following day that the changes were reversed. I was hoping that you could modify the page back to the way I had edited it on April 15, 2010 at 2:13 PM. I appreciate your understanding in this matter and all the hard work you put in to make the private equity entries as accurate as possible. Thanks!

I am doing this at the request of Doughty Hanson themselves, which obviously is a conflict of interest. Therefore, since you are the principle author of the entry to date and a key figure in the Private Equity Task Force I wanted to ask for your involvement in the process. I have also not made any changes to the article at this point, rather I have posted the basic (unformatted) text Doughty would like to add on my user page - where it is open for discussion and/or to encourage the community to take it upon themselves to add the information as they see fit. I hope you see the proposed text as straightforward and uncontroversial. It reflects in large part the type of information that the Task Force has identified needs to be added - essentially more on the history, investment strategy and details of the funds. If no-one takes up the initiative I will start to add the text myself - but I would be grateful for your supervision of the process since I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor! Thanks. --RichardStacy (talk) 13:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Private equity firmsFor eponymous categories at the company level, they are not classified in other categories since, as a general rule, those other categories simply don't apply any longer. In the case of adding Category:Private equity firms, the categories are not simply about the company as they include people and other items that no longer cleanly fit into other categories. This is why the entire series of 'categorizes named after' was created to provide a top level parent for eponymous categories.

First off, I've been familiarizing myself with your work on Wikipedia and plan to follow in your footsteps so kudos. Second, I'm curious what it is about Empire that caused you to raise the notability concern. I've been gradually working to get the article up to all of Wikipedia's standards and already cleared the notability issue at the front end. I've had a 3rd party edit the site to ensure it wasn't spam and figured I was getting close. This appears to be a step in the wrong direction. I'm interested in your analysis of the article. Thanks ReMiami (talk) 14:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC) Oh, if we could discuss on the article's talk page, I think it would make more sense. Thx.

Brynwood PartnersThanks for your cleanup on the article. As far as the neutrality issue, I added the info because it had been earlier suggested that perhaps Brynwood was not a notable topic for an article, and I was showing as many solid sources as I could find: NYT, WSJ, Village Voice, etc. The statements in the section are all sourced, but if you think there's a way to tone that down, have at it. Also, the intro now uses a term, control investments, that may not be obvious to the non-privaty-equity-specialist... can you elaborate on what that is, or hyperlink it the way leveraged buyout is linked? Thanks again.842U (talk) 21:54, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
You are now a Reviewer Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC). Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

I appreciate them.smjwalsh (talk) 05:25, 13 July 2010 (UTC) Image CategorizationIf the image is actually contained on Wikipedia, then yes, it can be categorized unless it is not free. If it is not a free image, then it should only be placed in image categories that don't display the image. If the file is already on commons, then the categories are there. If an image from commons is used in an article then it shows up in an appropriate place. There is no need to duplicate the commons categorization system on every Wikipedia. The En wiki is only one, there are many more. That is one of the benefits of commons so that everyone benefits from a central database and categorization system. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, the last discussion ended with another editor supporting the my actions as being appropriate and you still believing that you are right and I'm wrong. Images that are on commons have their categories there and not here. If the images were here then using categories would be OK, especially if they are in image categories. No free images should be used in any place where there is no specific rational provided in the image documentation. Exceptions are for categories that are devoted to that type of image that turn off the display. This is not recommended for general categories since it suppresses display of images that can be displayed and, I believe, it mixes the files and articles together in the display making navigation more problematic. I assume that you are also having a problem with my recategorizing logos into an image category for logos also. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

RIPGC (talk) 03:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC) On your user page, you mentioned a lack of vandalism. I was going to try it once (and quickly revert it) but you are correct. You are a nice fellow. RIPGC (talk) 03:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC) I try not to offend others. I will let the other reviewer do Chemical Bank. However, if nothing is done by August 1 or 2, I will review it. It looks good but I haven't studied it carefully. What that probably means is that it is a pass or pass with minor work. BTW, I love that name, Chemical Bank. Wachovia Bank sounds terrible. Some of the great names are gone, some are not. IMHO, the great sounding names are Chemical, Manny Hanny, Chase, Citibank, Bank of America (awful logo), Security Pacific, Wells Fargo, Continental Illinois, Texas Commerce, Marine Midland.

Schramsberg VineyardsHello, I'm sure you meant to be helpful with your edits to Schramsberg Vineyards, but you might wish to check up the definition of Champagne before adding Category:Champagne producers to this US winery one ocean and one continent away from Champagne, and you might wish to familiarise yourself with the importance typically assigned to individual wineries before you reassess the article from "low" to "high"(!), which is rather the assessment given to medium-sized wine-producing countries within WP:WINE.

September 2010 {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Toddst1 (talk) 03:54, 3 September 2010 (UTC)If the image these two were edit warring over is a copyright violation, then the image itself should be deleted under WP:CSD#G12. Edit warring over inserting the image is completely inappropriate. Toddst1 (talk) 04:13, 3 September 2010 (UTC)  Urbanrenewal (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: I am a little unclear as to why I have been blocked. I flagged this issue on several noticeboards and I have been the one looking to bring in other parties to help in dispute resolution. I have attempted to resolve the issues with the other editor. The issue is that this is an image that is loaded under an acceptable license and is in the public domain. An inexperienced user has been behaving disruptively. I have acted civilly and suggested a path of action that is completely reasonable to address the issue. I have not engaged in edit warring. I would like my block removed so I can get back to the many things i am working on right now. In no way can I be considered a disruptive editor. My record is impeccable and the only reason this issue was flagged was because I flagged it as an attempt at dispute resolution (one of many on my part). Considering the blocking admin's response on appropriate blocks "A block is appropriate to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia or people or things outside of Wikipedia through Wikipedia edits. It is not appropriate as punishment or in a simple content dispute." I have a hard time figuring out where I was causing damage or disruption. If there was a copyright violation - which there wasn't - then the image should be deleted. However the other editor did not pursue this path as suggested. And a 1917 image would not and should not be deleted per WP:PD Decline reason: The only thing that you've said that addresses the reason that your account was blocked is "I have not engaged in edit warring." The page history of William A. Clark indicates that you have. Edit-warring does not resolve the disagreement. It just fills the page history with reverts. You're probably right about the image, but this is the wrong way to keep it in the article.--Chaser (talk) 04:56, 3 September 2010 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Urbanrenewal (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Having never been blocked in 3 years on Wikipedia this is very confusing to me - I am not sure why my behavior is not given the benefit of the doubt. I have been frustrated by a new editor with no apparent knowledge of WP:PD making disruptive edits to remove an image and then constantly undoing my edits when I try to restore content. I made every attempt at dispute resolution - see [1],[2],[3],[4],[5]. These were all met with non-constructive responses from the other editor and no help from the Administrator's noticeboard where I went looking for help / advice / consensus days ago. The first response I got was this block. Meanwhile, the other editor just insisted that he was right and never attempted to put the image through the process for deletion (as I suggested if he really thought it was problematic) that would have resulted in a consensus of real editors to either keep or delete. Please take note that the image is now being flagged to be moved to commons. Whereas this is one minor item that I have worked on across more than 16k edits - this constitutes the bulk of the other editor's involvement on wikipedia. Decline reason: I empathize with your problem and also think that you are likely right on the merits, but 4 reverts in 4 days is edit warring and therefore prohibited even if you are right and have undertaken steps towards dispute resolution. The block is harsh - I wouldn't have made it, probably - but within administrator discretion. Sandstein 06:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. Thanks for UnblockingThanks for removing the block. I would like to get your advice on how I should have handled the situation differently. As you can imagine it was a fairly frustrating interaction and I was not getting a lot of help when I reached out on the noticeboards. Then to get blocked after I flagged the issue on the incidents noticeboard was obviously not what I had expected. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 14:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
