I just changed Lars Lindstrom from a redirect to a DAB, since there are two characters with that name. I also commented out the categories that the page had been placed in. Since they only apply to one of the two characters, I was not sure if they should be removed or if additional categories should be added for the other character. Anyway, since you recently created the redirect page and have done a lot of category editing, I thought you might have a better sense of what to do about this page, so I thought it would be worth bringing it to your attention. If you get a chance, you might want to check it out. Thanks. 99.192.76.145 ( talk) 13:09, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
I noted that you reverted two "unsourced claims" on the Colin Ferguson page, including an edit I made. Please be more careful in the future; the "unsourced claim" I made regarding Ferguson's role as the Maytag Repairman was actually sourced later in the article, and both his Maytag role and his activity as an NHL.com blogger were easily verifiable by a quick web search. Rather than removing such claims, which makes another editor go back and re-add the material, why not simply leave a "citation needed" tag, allowing the rest of the Wikipedia community to source the material? For that matter, why not take an extra few seconds and reference them yourself? Just my two cents. - Brother Bulldog ( talk) 15:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello there! You've been moving a lot of royalty articles to non-standard names, etc. Some of these names are not prescribed by the naming convention on royalty, located at WP:NCROY. Would you please start some discussions moving forward? Although the changes may seem non-controversial, I think it would only be a matter of time before a good chunk of them are reverted. Thanks!

Hello. Hope you're well. I made the change to the ref list because it's on this list. [1] which was created based on this discussion. [2]. I had thought we were moving towards column width as standard rather than fixed number of columns. Cowlibob ( talk) 07:54, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Anyway to get the ancestry template and the royalty infobox to exist side by side as there is a huge gap of white space from the section header of Ancestry to the actual ancestry table and it's default hidden so it is easy to miss and on first, second and third impression the page appears blanked and vandalized until you edit it and see there is something there. Returning it to the old ancestry layout without using the template would be preferable than all that white space. 24.241.69.99 ( talk) 20:17, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi: I see a lot of redlinks being deleted from the list. Are you going to do all 50 states? My concern is about the territories. I added them because there is GNIS data available which I put into editor comments on each. My thought is to have the data available for anyone who wants to expand upon these cemeteries in the future. As these are out of the way territories, finding editors who can work on them is difficult I'm sure. And I doubt that many will merit articles on their own, so I did not redlink them. But, in at least one situation, the cemeteries in the Virgin Islands have historical significance due to their Danish history. Also, the listing for the territory cemeteries will be useful for editors who might want to link the particular section in an "infrastructure" paragraph for articles about the territories. Thanks. – S. Rich ( talk) 04:11, 21 May 2014 (UTC) Added comment: I was a bit mistaken. When I saw you were removing redlinks per the edit summaries, I assumed you were deleting the names of the cemeteries. (It pays to actually look at the diffs!) In any event my concern about the territories remains the same. Thanks. 05:26, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Pointing to a clearly wrong part of the inclusion criteria is not really a justification for adding a name. Should we also add the names of anyone who runs the craft services table on a movie set if they changed their name as well? At least the Stage name page more accurately says "A stage name, also called a screen name, is a pseudonym used by performers and entertainers such as actors, wrestlers, comedians, and musicians." Why should the "list of..." page have an inclusion criteria that expands beyond listing just stage names? I would add this to my recent comments on the list talk page, but it just seems too absurd to have to argue that the list of stage names should not include people who had no "stage" career of any kind. 99.192.72.142 ( talk) 12:34, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Regarding this edit: your first instinct, to revert that edit, was actually correct. I looked up the organization and Izetbegović's relation to it on Google Books, and easily found contradictory references, in sources that are better than this Trifunović fellow on the face of it. In the future, please verify dubious claims not just in raw translations of Glas javnosti but in actual secondary sources. If you need help with foreign text, don't hesitate to ask other editors. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 14:38, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Is there a reason that you know for why I have received a "Thank you" notification from you for the same edit about 4 times now? I'm just trying to find out if it's a software issue, or if you really have thanked me for the same edit four times. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:08, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
First of all, won't argue with you due to Mark Twain, who said: "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
All I will do is point out to you, if borderline vandalism is to use information alongside sources, then yes I am a borderline vandal. However, I don't exactly answer to the encyclopedic definition of borderline vandal.
Lastly, hate to state the obvious, but I used a source which has Dina Merrill as being born in 1925, The Palm beach post is not unreliable. They conducted the interview with her. And in case you haven't noticed, you removed the source without giving any reason whatsoever. Radiohist ( talk) 18:28, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Why don't you just say 1922 or 1924 sources differ? That should satisfy everyone, while giving the information that several credible sources have given both dates. The census and biographer may be mostly reliable, but so is Day and marriage records that say 1924, so there's reasonable doubt she was actually born in 1922 and should at least be noted. You also seem to be one of very few wanting to use 1922, most people want 1924.
Re: my username (UNOwen...) - if there were prizes, U'd win the 'silver' - 2nd place award, sadly.
I mean that w/ kindness - to you - 'sadness' for the dearth of well-read, well-studied people.
You are ONLY the SECOND person to realise that, yes - it IS a direct reference of And Then There Were None.
In all the years I've used it, you'd be amazed at some of the communications I've received - some, only barely related, i.e. , someone, somewhere didn't like something I'd said, so, they'd reply, but, then they'd say something like; 'I can tell from your name your not a nice person' (?!?)... blah-blah...Blah.
I DO - ALWAYS - appreciate when someone is awake & 'on-the-ball,' and, even more so when they contact me 'bout it, as you have.
So, thank you!
All good wishes,

Hi there, sorry completely forgot about 3RR, my bad. His profile says Londonderry which, considering his political stance, means Derry the city. If you look at the article history you'll see his birthplace, etc is being edited frequently as a result of non-neutral viewpoints. Including both deters as it does not exclude one or the other, as far as I know this has been done in other articles with some success.

Hi. I realise this was a long time ago, but regarding this edit - where did you get the idea that Pyne was the second-youngest MP ever? When he was elected, he was the tenth youngest MP (ahead of him: Edwin Corboy, Andrew Jones, Charles Frazer, Peter Shack, Bill Falkinder, Bert Lazzarini, Christian Zahra, Gary Punch and Malcolm Fraser himself). I saw this repeated in the SMH today and was shocked to find they'd got it from us! I only ask because if it came from a source, I may need to dig up another source to correct it (rather than my own maths). Pyne doesn't claim this himself, does he?? Frickeg ( talk) 11:19, 4 December 2013 (UTC) (Edit: he was, of course, elected before Zahra was, so the ninth youngest. The point still stands, though.) Frickeg ( talk) 11:26, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your edits and attention! I will follow up on cn tags later this week. About your additions to the lede & personbox, I wanted to run my thoughts by you before any rv. I think Miller's engineering career and inventorship adds useful detail to the article body, but I don't believe he is sufficiently notable in those fields to merit attention in the lede & personbox.

I'm not disputing or reverting your recent tweak, but I'm trying to understand what you have in mind so I can do better next time. I am planning a future edit in a few days, in which I'll move all of the refs (making them list-defined refs) for easier maintenance. Earlier today, I went through all refs in the article to make all date formats consistent, according to one of the acceptable WP:DATEFORMAT choices (#4 in the table). You then tweaked some refs to spell out the month, which of course isn't wrong but introduced an inconsistency. So basically, I'm trying to square your edits with the guidelines in WP:CITEVAR which suggest that internal consistency is important, and we should generally leave well enough alone, rather than impose our style preferences on other editors. Please understand that I'm perfectly OK with generally adopting your style preferences, in order to avoid any inconsistency or conflict over minor matters of style. I just want to be sure I understand what your edits are directed toward, so I can stay consistent. Lwarrenwiki ( talk) 21:11, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

What on earth are you doing on May 22? The names you reverted out were all blue links. Browsing through, I noticed one of them has the wrong birthday, other than that I have no idea what you are doing. In fact, you reverted in one red-link, Gloria Lloyd, daughter of Harold Lloyd.

Hello, I'm ChamithN. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to User talk:Ukvoltaire123. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. Chamith (talk) 15:04, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
