Re "I fail to see..."Re "I fail to see... ": Sir: Thank you for judging my efforts of contributing to Wikipedia (Pride and Prejudice article, edit of 03:08, 09 April 2008); however, without a better understanding of your objection(s), I'm finding it difficult to learn what you require. Please be more clear of what exactly fails your standards here, especially when your judgement dismisses an entire section of work. Please explain, re specifically these questions: 1. Re the source material quoted (by others), are you deleting the reference and the bibliographical source I provided because: --the full text of the novel is linked online? --or/also, because the source cited is a print-only publication that is not published online? Please explain why you feel, for either case, it is a bad thing to do. 2. As corollary, is it ok with you --if the full text is linked online-- that quotations placed around source material are (per se) sufficient without further citation? (If so, doesn't this presume the typical Wikipedia reader will know that the the quote is from an online text, and that the link for same will be found below, or somewhere, in the article?; --is that your policy?). 3. Again, as corollary, is it your requirement --if the full text is linked online-- that no additional specific reference may be provided?; i.e., that it is not ok to further tell the reader where exactly --e.g., which link, page, chapter-- the cited material can be located within the online source? 4. Re 3, do you see no advantage for the reader, especially a new reader, that such information be placed readily at hand? --especially if that reader is not yet comfortable with interpreting all the information at hand on a typical Wikipedia page?) 5. Finally, in response to your "fail to see" any improvement in the edits I offered: Obviously, you provided no explanatory remarks of your objections; but because I cannot read your mind, and because I still wish to feel I can learn and contribute here, I offer to review the article again, specifically the plot summary, to learn if I can find a better manner of wording that improves what is now installed, and resubmit same to your appraisal. I will try to limit my concerns to the problems that originally attracted me to that section --some time ago-- which is, to the promiscuous use of pronouns, even when their respective nouns serve the reader better. (I'll try!) Thank you for your time and answers to my questions; and for your long record of service to Wikipedia. [--Jbeans (talk) 09:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)]
Le Grand Bleu (yacht)Thanks for your note, and I have to admit I'm a little mystified. I looked at it and thought, "This is crazy -- it's a talk page for a page that exists, I would have no reason to delete that." Then I saw that it was somehow connected to a page that I DID remember deleting because it was tagged as an orphaned talk page of a deleted page -- something called Sral ples, although I may have the spelling wrong. I have to admit that I don't really know what happened, since my examination of the edit history tells me that another administrator did the deletion that my memory tells me I did. Anyway, I hope you will accept my apology -- I will immediately restore the page in question, and I'm still scratching my head trying to remember exactly what went on. I know I wouldn't have deleted a talk page without confirming that it was orphaned, but beyond that, wow, I'm very sorry, I just don't know what happened.

Age when R' Henoch took overWasn't R' Henoch 24 when R' Dovid was niftar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danthecan (talk • contribs) 11:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Jeri Kehn Thompson.Your use of rollback to restore a link to an offsite copyright violation was wrong on two counts: first, it's a copyright violation and wilfully linking to offsite copyright violations places the Foundation in legal jeopardy due to a principle known as "contributory infringement"; and using rollback to do it because the site is blacklisted was particularly foolish as it renders the article un-editable by others, as well as ignoring the obvious fact that we don't blacklist without good reason. I am assuming that this was a naive error on your part, so will not remove your rollback flag for it, but please be aware that if you do this again, your rollback privilieges may be revoked. Guy (Help!) 10:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC) Minchas Elozor picturesI restored the images and moved the discussion to Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_images/2008_April_28. I do not have a response to your comments so hopefully someone else will. I did not interpret your comments as supporting keeping the images the first time I read through them. Reading them again, I see what you are saying. -Regards Nv8200p talk 14:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Re: User 90.196.3.1 and Disruptive EditsHi, I am having problems with this fellow who seems to be doing disruptive edits on all Sikh articles in order to press forward a POV. Is there anything you can do?--Sikh-history (talk) 08:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC) It's been almost a couple of years since you weighed in on this article, but there is a content impasse at the moment on the same issue you addressed then. A couple resident editors have combined to fight off at least a couple attempts since July 2005(!) to mention Laurence Silberman's anecdote about Moyers claiming his memo, requesting FBI info on Goldwater staff, was a CIA forgery. Silberman was, they said, an unsupported liar to suggest Moyers might have been involved in such activity. (This is the point you had addressed.) I came to the page just as they were squelching an IP doing this and did something unheard of, a little research. It turns out that Moyers was not only, as Silberman said, mentioned in the papers of the time as having done this, but the Church Committee's report on misuse of the FBI prominently featured Moyers. Nothing abashed (well to be fair, Osbojos may be a bit abashed but Ratel is not at all) the resident claque insist they have "consensus" for a highly minimalist and misleading edit[1] on the basis of very thin participation (four editors, including me) in a poll. I'll try an RfC too before this is out, but haven't seen much result from that in the past. And apart from the ip (who disappeared before I engaged) and JCarriker (who's Wikiretired) you're the only one other than the four who has ever posted to the talk page at all, much less on this issue. So I hope you'll find time to make a comment. nb: The material I want to add is this (plus a cite to Amazon's excerpt of Deloach's book, which I didn't have before the page was protected).

James Polk EditPlease do not accost me for "adding nonsense to Wikipedia". It was perhaps insignificant, but definitely not "nonsense" (which is defined by the American Heritage Dictionary as "words or signs having no intelligible meaning, or "subject matter, behavior, or language that is foolish or absurd", as you have stated on my talk page, to say that David Rice Atchison was de jure the President of the United States for one day. If Taylor and Fillmore refused to be sworn in on the Sunday, March 4, then Atchison would have been (de jure or to clarify: by law) the Acting President on March 4.

NowCommons: Image:Johnpemberton.jpgImage:Johnpemberton.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:Image:John Pemberton.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:John Pemberton.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 23:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Reliability of SourceIt seems to be more of an independent blog. The writer states no credentials nor does the site appear to be more than an inexact aggregate/overview of news stories. Therefore I do not think calling Todd Palin's maternal grandmother an "elder" is correct until otherwise proven via a more authentic news source.Kitchawan (talk) 13:37, 1 September 2008 (UTC) The cited source is an opinion piece written by a stated friend of the Palin family. Let's wait until we can find a better source than that.Kitchawan (talk) 13:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC) Also "highly respected" is POV, again not acceptable re Wiki rules of neutrality. I am searching for a better source re use of the word "elder" to describe Palin's grandmother.Kitchawan (talk) 13:47, 1 September 2008 (UTC) Cachefly & PalinThat is not an acceptable source--please don't like to copyright violations like that. rootology (C)(T) 19:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
KetchupYou, sir, are very serious about your Catsup, but I think it's laudable. I'm thinking Ketchup needs an overhaul to get it back to grade-a. Primarily, I'm wondering why they got rid of those great historical recipes. That's good stuff, right there. ∴Walkeraj 01:42, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. My mistake, I should have paid more attention to what was written. Jorge P (talk) 17:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC) SP?How could I have "introduced a misspelling" when all I did was revert, not edit? LamaLoLeshLa (talk) 20:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

HorseradishI am quite aware that maror is really a lettuce, but mentioned horseradish so as not to enter into yet another debate with an editor who would contest that as well. DRosenbach (Talk | Contribs) 21:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC) Todd Palin and snowmachinesWith respect, the world is bigger than Alaska and people around the world would like to get it w/o clicking and searching. WP is NOT Google. Kindest regards, --Floridianed (talk) 23:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC) Only warningPlease do not remove reports from Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. If a report is indeed a "bullshit accusation" [2], then the investigating administrator will determine that conclusion. --Kralizec! (talk) 18:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC) Edit war at Andrew P. HarrisHi, someone brought up on my talk page that you and another editor are edit warring over Andrew P. Harris; from a look at the page history I'd say they're right. I see very little activity on the talk page, so I urge you to try to discuss matters with them there rather than just reverting. Please also understand that edit warring is blockable whether or not you're technically making more than 3 reverts in a 24-hour period. I (hope I'm not displaying myself to be totally ignorant here but) have never heard of the guy and have no interest in the content aside from adhering to the highest standard of accuracy and referencing because it's a BLP. If the other party's breaking rules, you can report that, you shouldn't do something that's going to wind up getting you in trouble too. You're better off being a model wikipedian and using the talk page, and letting them dig themselves into a hole! Don't hesitate to leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or need anything, I'm always glad to help. Peace, delldot ∇. 21:14, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
eloped to marryThis goes back to archive 19...about mid-Sept...a result of a looooong discussion. Its not really redundant, altho they convey two expressions of the same thing...a personal committment. Briefly stated, eloped to marry was an accurate description of what happened. But, you can leave it. Just thought I'd let you know.--Buster7 (talk) 01:55, 6 October 2008 (UTC) Palin, AhmadinejadWhat she said is a reference to what he said (or, actually, didn't say). Without the context of what he said, (or, actually, didn't say) what she said makes no sense. Not that that's unusual, of course. — Writegeist (talk) 18:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
