- Hello, and I'm sorry I had to reverse you today on the timeshare article. Allow me to explain please: The article had been an advertising platform for the sales industry for years. It was a battleground between the owners, and the industry. The owners all
wanting to tell the world NEVER to buy a timeshare, and the industry advertising their horse manure there. A few years ago, I was asked to come in and rewrite the entire article, and tell both the positives and negatives of the situation, though I was advised to expose the reality of owning one, and let the article be a warning to anyone contemplating purchasing one, that they couldn't give it away for free if they wanted to, no less ever get their investment back. At the same time, I had to explain the concept in earnest. I was asked, because I was one of the creators of timeshare in the US. I was also on the very first timeshare line in this country. I wrote the history section, and kept going until I got it all covered. This is a very touchy subject in the hearts and minds of timeshare owners. The article has stood almost "untouched" for years, because both sides have learned to live with the facts in it. When you edit this particular article, you open the door for the industry to come back in and do edits, and so on. I thought you would get the message when I rewrote many of your changes without reversing you, and explaining why in the summaries. Please, if you see a MAJOR grammar error, by all means fix it. Other than that please let it be, or the "timeshare wars" are sure to start again. Thank you for understanding. Pocketthis ( talk) 02:23, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that you had a bad experience in the industry. I do not work in the industry, I own a timeshare and knew going in that it would not be an "investment".
Had I vandalized the article, or put in a lot of "fluff" in order to make it one-sided, I could see your reasons for reversing my edits. However, to reverse edits simply because you fear that others in the industry will start an "edit war" is not allowed per Wikipedia. There are tools you can use to report edits that are not in line with Wikipedia guidelines.
Please note, I WILL be reverting the article to show my changes. I do not want to report anyone to Wikipedia, but if you continue to reverse my edits without adequate justification, I will do so. Quidam65 (talk) 13:01, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- As per Wikipedia, this is where you leave your reply, since we are going by the book. I never said I "had a bad experience" with timeshare. I said, I was asked to come into the article to settle a war. I also said I was one of the creators of timeshare sales. Now you go ahead and make your edits in timeshare as you wish, and I will do what I consider good editing. I won't reverse you again, but I won't tolerate poor editing. Your editing is not factual, it is "the timeshare world according to Quidam65". You put in things that are conjecture on your part, and expect the experts to leave it be. Example: "The Tour guides are all well versed in sales". That is nonsense. You would have to have visited every timeshare in the world to be able to say that with encyclopedic authority. Also, I don't like your grammar, the way you word things, and your edits in my opinion are simply for your amusement, and have little or no improvement in this article. I will do what I promised myself I would do in this article, and that is to keep a close eye on any word changing, or misrepresentations of facts. If I see nonconstructive edits, I will have to improve upon them.

Hi, Quidam! Thank you for your participation on Wikipedia!
While reviewing some articles on closed Texas school districts I notice you removed categories and web URls while doing so. Please do not remove the relevant county categories; while the districts no longer exist, they were a part of the histories of the counties. Also please do not remove URLs of school district sites.

Thanks so much for your edit about William L. Mayo's heart attack on the History of Texas A&M University–Commerce article. I had a chance to research it thoroughly, and only found explicit mentions of the chronology in the three sources previously used in the article to support that statement. I've adjusted the wording to reflect the discrepancy between the two sources on the one hand and the one on the other, and you can see what I did on that article (and the explanatory note I created) here. I also made a parallel edit on the History of East Texas Normal College article. Thanks for letting me take the time to research this and edit the articles accordingly. I hope that these edits are satisfactory to you. All the best! Michael Barera ( talk) 03:38, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cooke County Electric Cooperative
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Cooke County Electric Cooperative, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://pentex.com/about-pentex/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your draft article, Draft:Once Upon a Christmas Miracle
Hello, Quidam65. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Once Upon a Christmas Miracle".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia
mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (Talk) 18:10, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm
Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Aledo High School (Texas), but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the
tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Your change seems likely to be original research. Please site a source that directly and explicitly supports your claim.

Hi Quidam65! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at
Gospel for Asia that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as
typo corrections or reverting obvious
vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see
Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hi. In one of your recent edits you tweaked/corrected the citation of a tweet. In my opinion, that tweet should never have been in the article. There's at least one editor bent on naming the victim; if you see that happen, please revert and alert an administrator. Drmies ( talk) 22:13, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Technology, Exploration and Career Center (Lewisville ISD) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created,
Technology, Exploration and Career Center (Lewisville ISD), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article has not been deleted it can be found at Draft:Technology, Exploration and Career Center (Lewisville ISD), where you can improve it without having to worry about it being deleted, whilst you improve it. Noting that the Center's website is a primary source and is therefore not independent or reliable when trying to establish notability. Dan arndt ( talk) 06:42, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Twice now you have added information to the lead of both articles regarding the other event. This is irrelevant information. Winter Is Coming had nothing to do with Final Battle and vice versa. JDC808 ♫ 05:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- You are completely wrong. If you know ANYTHING about pro wrestling, you know that AEW and ROH are jointly owned by the same person, Tony Khan. And each group regularly features their talent on the other's programs. As an example, the co-main event for Final Battle featured six major AEW stars (three of the Blackpool Combat Club, the FTR tag team, and Mark Briscoe) with NO ROH talent in the match. The following night, Bryan Keith of ROH was on Winter Is Coming to take on Orange Cassidy. Furthermore, if you watch any of the programming, Winter Is Coming was promoting - and showed highlights from - Final Battle, while Final Battle showed highlights from the first night of Winter Is Coming and promoted the third night. As such, the significant crossover between events, and that they were held in the same geographical area (and in the same arena on consecutive nights), makes the information HIGHLY relevant.
Quidam65 (
talk) 16:06, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- sigh, yes, Tony Khan owns both. Let me put it this way, Winter Is Coming was not part of Final Battle and Final Battle was not part of Winter Is Coming. Yes, there is a crossover of talent because they're all technically employed by Tony Khan, but they are separate events. Promoting a show is simply that: promoting. That doesn't make it part of the show or relevant enough to include in the lead. It could possibly be mentioned in the body of the article, but it is not relevant enough for the lead. Furthermore though, your additions are completely unsourced. JDC808 ♫ 00:36, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
Technology, Exploration and Career Center (Texas) moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Technology, Exploration and Career Center (Texas). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Just i yaya 05:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
