Bender, I know that you enjoy making serial corrections to Infobox NFL player and the like, and I've discovered a problem that I think is right up your alley. In the NFL player infobox, the link for "Tackle" is usually mis-linked and piped to " Tackle (football move)" in the player stats section, when in fact the word should be properly linked to the more specific " Tackle (American and Canadian football)." The error is widespread, and based on my own anecdotal observations, it appears that the error actually represents a majority of the NFL player infobox links. I would be grateful if you would add this issue to your to-do list of future fixes. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 15:54, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I reverted your recent edit to this article. WP:SEE ALSO says that the links included in such a section should reflect those in an article on the topic that's relating them, in this case Internet meme. Neither "Crank That" nor "Lisztomania" are mentioned in that article. Regardless, there are far more songs that share that meme aspect, and it wouldnt be practical to list them all or pick and choose. Dan56 ( talk) 13:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Bender. Query: should we be including high school honors in the infobox for someone like Patrick Peterson, who was a consensus All-American and won several major awards in college, and is a multiple Pro Bowl selection in the NFL: [1]? My take is that we need to prioritize what honors get listed in the infobox once they exceed 10 lines of total text, in which case, it's very easy to strip the high school stuff from the infobox, while mentioning it in the "early years" text. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 18:10, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Re the mighty Mick..... he is so mighty that he only needs one name. Although other people have shared his Christian name (Caravaggio for example), only one Michelangelo made the name famous.
So adding his family name to it is a bit the same as writing Donatello's name in full, or Raphael's name in full, or insisting on always referring to that other bloke as Jesus Christ as if "Christ" was his surname.
In the context of the article on Michelangelo, his full name ought to be included in the text, but ought not be the title of the article. Some well-meaning person at Wiki-Commons has insisted on using full names wherever possible, which makes things harder to locate, not easier.
In article that refer to his work, the his family name is completely redundant.
Likewise Leonardo. In his case it's fine to call him "Leonardo da Vinci" which is what the people of Florence called him, but when shortening it, he should be called "Leonardo", not "da Vinci" (as Dan Brown did). At that date in Italian history, the name by which a artist is known is variable. Sometimes it was their first name. Sometimes it was their family name, if the family name was distinctive and the first name was not. (Verrocchio) Sometimes it was a nickname (Botticelli). Instances where an artist is always known by his whole name are rare (Piero della Francesca) or relate to the fact that several brothers or generations were artists, (the Bellini family).
Amandajm ( talk) 14:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Carlo Maderno/Maderna/Moderna (there is no agreement) gets both. Bernini is just "Bernini" because, like Michelangelo he made the name famous. But his father, also a sculptor but much less great, is known by his given name as well, to distinguish him from his greater son.
The list should read: Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno, Bernini. The people who need the full treatment are the Sangallo, of whom there were (I think) three, all up. Two of them were Giuliano and so are called Giuliano da Sangallo and Giuliano da Sangallo the Younger. But the second one of these is usually known as Sangallo the Younger, dropping both the forename and the "da". It looks as if I need to make a redirect on that one.
One of the really confusing issues about Bernini is that his name was Gianlorenzo, or Gian Lorenzo or fully Giovanni Lorenzo.
I'll do some sorting out. Amandajm ( talk) 01:07, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bender235. I wasnt sure if it was you that designated this page for deletion or if it was Bluerasberry. I left a note this morning on Bluerasberry's page, and I will repeat it here so that you can see it too. I created this page last year on Sandra Navidi as part of a school research project in which students were asked to create a Wikipedia page on an individual who is active in the financial industry both in America and in Europe. The article had recently been flagged as "Dead End" and also as an orphan. Yesterday some external links were added. Today it is being considered for deletion because "The links are casual mentions of this person, and not content focused on this person". I removed those external links and replaced them with relevent links that do focus on this person specifically. Please advise if this is sufficient grounds to have it reinstated. If so, can the "Dead End" classification be removed? And in addition to that, Sandra is mentioned on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_Street_Warriors. I configured a link from this article back to the Sandra Navidi article. Please advise if this qualifies to have the orphan designation removed. Whytestone ( talk) 20:51, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Hiya Bender. I saw that you recently moved EJ Manuel to E. J. Manuel. I was the one who moved that article before, so I just want to point out http://sports.yahoo.com/news/qbs-center-stage-florida-state-135411298--ncaaf.html, a copy of the (now dead) source I had in there before. Manuel doesn't use periods in his name, and I think the article title should reflect this. Cheers, Nolelover Talk· Contribs 21:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Would you mind answering the questions I've brought up here instead of arbitrarily saying "same grammar rules for everyone"? That's not true, as the MOS points out: "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." That's pretty clear. In this case, the best sources refer to him as EJ, and we have a specific source saying he prefers that form. There's your manual of style.

Hi there, Bender. I saw you'd recently made some constructive edits on the Kevin Mawae article; I've just posted a suggestion for a few changes on the article's Talk page, and I wonder if you'd be willing to give it a look. I work as a consultant to the NFLPA, and the changes concern that organization, so I'd prefer not to make direct edits. Let me know if you can, no worries if you can't.

Hey, Bender, I see you have been busy with NFL Draft-related edits. As always, I appreciate your diligent work to improve NFL player articles . . . but I do have a small bone to pick with you: why are inserting and/or defending trivial cross-references to other players like this one:
These kind of cross-references are low-value trivia that often clutter articles with meaningless gibberish while the articles continue to lack high-value discussion and analysis of the subject player's career. And they're not really about the subject player, and they are usually barely relevant to the player who is the actual subject of the article; they often function as a hook to insert random trivia about teammates, other league players, the subject's college, etc. Frankly, I usually delete these kind of low-value cross-references on sight, and I know several other editors who do likewise -- including random references to high school and college teammates, references to the draft history of a high school or college, and references to other players who rank higher in terms of team or league records, season-leading statistics, etc. What's worse is when these low-value cross-references are inserted without a supporting source, and inevitably, the quoted stat or record is wrong or out of date and no means for cross-checking or updating the cross-reference are provided.
Please consider. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 22:42, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

In this reversion you said, "corrections were wrong, plus notes parameter is useful. Please leave it the way it is."
The article as reverted by you now gives a 40 yd dash figure which is supported by neither of the two cited sources.
The article says, "All values from NFL combine, except bench press and forty yard dash (from Notre Dame Pro Day)", and cites two sources, described as NFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Manti Te'o and Manti Te''o | Notre Dame, ILB : 2013 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile. As mentioned above, neither source supports the figure currently given for the 40 yard dash. The first cited source supports the figures given for height, weight, arm span, hand span, and broad jump. The second cited source supports the figures given for ten split, twenty split, shuttle, cone, vertical jump and bench reps.

Hi, regarding that issue:
There is not doubt that the contributions of Vicente Guerrero to human rights and egalitarianism were very important (and should be emphasized and described in more detail in the webpage). His reforms achieved social justice for the oppressed, e.g. Africans, Indians, poor Mestizos, etc.. In this regard, his reforms surpassed those of the USA and many European countries; he tried to supress State-driven ethnic discrimination more than a century before them!. I can see why then, the interest on making him one of the champions of indigenist and black revindication movements by 'making' him indigenous and black exclusively. However, one must have in mind that his reforms were made in an all-inclusive context, i.e. they were made for all Mexicans, regardless of ethnicity, and more within the spirit of true liberalism than within the context of the specific social 'fight' of a particular ethnic group. That's why some historians refer to Guerrero as the "most Mexican" of all Mexican heroes. Notice that even the Anglo-Saxons from the USA prized him because of many of his reforms, specially those that were very amicable and liberal towards Anglo-Saxon immigrants (e.g. the Austin quotation), but nevertheless, nobody claims that because of that Guerrero was Anglo-Saxon, even when in some of the paintings made of him he might had looked like one.
Some historians and people of his time regarded him as a Cuarteron (3/4 Spanish, 1/4 black and indigenous,--->historians), others as indigenous ('neutral' individuals and 'enemies'), others as black ('enemies', racism included), others as mestizo('neutral', 'friends' and 'enemies'), such that in the future most of the people that wrote about him limited themselves to describe him as 'dark' ('obscure') or trigueño ('olive-skinned', 'swarthy'). The rest is just myth. I don't know how on such a basis and on the visual analysis of paintings it can be claimed that his father was black and his mother indian (specially because the paintings are portraits of him, not of his parents, and many of them are posthumous). Also, the fact that his father was a royalist (supported Spanish rule) and his uncle was, in fact, a royalist soldier (i.e. part of the Spanish militia) does not seem to fit well with an exclusive indian and black heritage. The colonial regime was very harsh on blacks and indians, and did not allow them to have property, nor have freight businesses (much less gun making businesses) nor admit them among their military hierarchy. So, most likely Guerrero belonged to some of the Casta that included some Spanish heritage, but however he was mixed, with also black and indian heritage. Notice however, that as many insurgents and liberals, Guerrero despised the Spanish Casta system, that's why they all claimed to be Americans (from the American continent) and Mexicans (their country), regardless of their ethnic origin (Mixed, Spanish, Indian, Black, Asian, etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AKMX ( talk • contribs) 21:31, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

While I appreciate your attempt to impose the cite templates on this article, the previous contributors to this article did not chose to use them. Personally, I agree with them--I find the templates are cumbersome and a bother. If you have links to JSTOR and other sources, incorporate them in the current format, please do not impose a method of citation on an article that you are not a contributor to other than to impose that format. It makes it difficult for those who do contribute to the article on a regular basis. Therefore, I have reverted your edits.

Looking back I can see that my edit was crude (i.e. didn't link to the new total recall, put both directors together as one link), so my apologies for that, but I would really appreciate it if you could explain to a quite novice wikipedia editor/contributor why you feel that it's better with this information omitted.
I'm fine if it stays omitted, I just would, more than anything, like to get a better picture from someone who has contributed so much as to why it wasn't as good, when it 1) had more information/was a more complete picture of his adaptations.
Thanks in advance -- really look forward to hearing your response. (seems I will check back on this page)

Hey Bender235
I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).
So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.
What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.
The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

I don't think you should judge words by their appearance. Try looking up their meaning before you revert a correction made in good faith. I think Wikipedia is a good institution, but my only contribution is to correct English grammar and spelling, and it is galling to see this work reverted by users not entirely conversant with the English language.

Hello, this edit summary spooked me a bit, until I realized that you had apparently cancelled the "typo" change without removing the mention of it from the edit summary. Could you be a bit more careful with that? I have a feeling I've discussed this problem with somebody else yonks ago (I don't think it was you – I can't find it in your archives, at any rate).

Your recent editing history at Rothschild family shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 12:50, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
Hi Bender.
While checking this user out, I noticed that you had reverted one of his edits. Could please check out his entire editing history? It seems that he is editing articles merely to enter unsourced nationalistic jingoism.
Here's one example.
Original Text:
There is inconsistency as to the reason why Birch was assassinated. One view is that Birch's assassination was because he outlawed slavery in
Perak. Dato Maharajalela, whose income depended on capturing and selling the indigenes of Perak or
Orang Asli as slaves, was then incensed and plotted with some of the slave-traders to kill Birch by spearing him when he was taking his bath in the river.
His edit:
The reason why Birch was assassinated was because of his policies, arrogance and disrespect towards local customs and the Rulers Sultan of Perak, for example by refusing to remove his shoes when he entered the palace.

I was having a spot of bother defending the information in List of costliest Atlantic hurricanes because the figures are not adjusted for inflation, and because they contradict, for example, NOAA and ICAT. Peering at the talk, I see you contributed to the Talk section "Remove Normalization". I'm not sure I follow all the details of your response to Datheisen, but the only other comment is an anon handwaving.

Hello - some editors fight off the vandal hordes, as I do repairing pages with citation errors. If I didn't - there would be a large backlog in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting and in Category:Pages with missing references list as in Category:Pages with broken reference names ( more than 1500 yesterday). But it is impossible to work it alone. Do you know how to do a " Blitz" (excuse the comparision) to find willing editors to work on it. It is much more easier to repair references if you do it one hour, one day or one week ago after the errors were made instead of months and years after the error was done. Very, very difficult to find these errors.
Only with WikiBlame Search it is possible to find and repair such errors.

Your recent edit of the article for Colts Neck Township, New Jersey made a series of purely cosmetic internal changes along with one slightly more visible change to adjust column width for references. There was no edit summary at all for this edit, nor were there any edit summaries for a significant percentage of your other recent edits. Please understand that making changes of a cosmetic nature is discouraged -- such as adding and removing spaces in headers and at the end of paragraphs -- and that this edit was cosmetic in nature. It probably took me longer to figure out what you changed than it took you to make the changes and all edits, from major rewrites or the most trivial space adjustments, should be accompanied by a meaningful edit summary.

Bender235, will you be more mindful of WP:CITEVAR, unlike what you did here and here? WP:CITEVAR states, "Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change." This is why SlimVirgin reverted you here (on that first edit displayed in this paragraph); the Veganism article has an established reference style and that's the one SlimVirgin prefers. And for those of us who like to use citation templates... With regard to using Template:DOI, a lot of us (me included) prefer not to use that template because we like to see, in the article, what we are citing (the author's name, reference title, etc.). And the only reason I reverted you here is because you placed the reference (what is currently reference 7) out of order; I didn't mind the other edits. But, looking at the #AWB section above on your talk page, I see that Materialscientist seemingly objects to you changing http format to https format. However, you are still doing that http change across Wikipedia. Why are you still doing that? Why is that format better/more important? As you know, the vast majority of editors don't use that format to cite. Flyer22 ( talk) 15:02, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
