Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you the Mr. (or Mrs.) Terse at the Think about the children page? While we were hammering out a compromise on the Simpsons thing I surveyed the page to see how tightly whomever was holding it to short sentences was doing. It had more short and fewer long than any page I can recall reading at Wikipedia (where all too often, even in feature articles, one can find them approaching the Magna Carta in length). Oh, please leave the discussion here: I'll know where to find it. Thanks. Yours, Wikiuser100 ( talk) 21:40, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. This has certainly been a whole lot of hullabaloo over a bit of confusion over how to use Move (which I've successfully used many times), where somehow I got the misimpression if I moved Jägermeister to Jägermeister (drink) I'd get locked out of using the Jägermeister page for the subject of the term (the hunting master). The combined route of a move, disambiguation page, and page referencing hatnotes on each resulting page did not congeal, and once the reverts started it was too late to stop the momentum.

Your recent editing history at Frank Gifford shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
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. — Bagumba ( talk) 23:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Wikiuser100. :)
I'm finally getting around to processing your OTRS ticket for 1269th Engineer Combat Battalion (United States), and I really appreciate your going to the trouble to get verified license for that.
While I've processed it, I just need to be sure you're aware for future use that citation for such content requires more than simply acknowledging it as a source. You need to acknowledge the reuse of text, even if modified, explicitly. Wikipedia:Plagiarism talks a little bit about how and why. In this case, it's especially critical to do so, because without acknowledging the source and the limitations on license, we are releasing the content under GFDL as well as CC-By-SA, and we cannot do this. The two licenses are incompatible, and the author only released under one. :)
If you incorporate such text in the future, you can use {{ CCBYSASource}} or {{ Dual}} to acknowledge the copying, depending on whether it is CC-By-SA explicitly or licensed under both CC-By-SA and GFDL. That provides the necessary attribution and helps protect our copyrighted content donors from inadvertent misuse or misattribution.
Thanks again, and sorry for the lengthy backlog there. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:13, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

I studied the changes made at the Jones point and Hudson River Reserve fleet pages and still cannot grasp what you’re talking about, or see any evidence of it.

But I have no idea what you are driving it. Please clarify.
Meanwhile, I am desperate some for some help on licensing related to those pages. Some terrific photographs of the mothball fleet are being used at the crotonhistory.org website, so somehow they got whatever license was required from the New York state archives to be able to use them.
I’m away from my office right now and don’t have ready access to the URLs, but could really use some handholding to be able to choose the right one so I can download some photos from the archives, upload them to Commons, then utilize them and Wikipedia.

Good morning.
I had edited some of the Waylon Jennings information about his time in Scottsdale at JDs. I included the name of the contractors, the correct spelling for Musil, and names associated with his initial record. All of that information was deleted.
I see your name and AnomieBOT there 2:28 10-23-19. All of the information was correct. I know about the contractors - that was my father and his partner. I was young, but actually worked in the construction of JDs. In addition, several years ago the Arizona Music Museum verified the information by documenting in an interview with the wife of the partner. I also reviewed the recorded lease agreement and the names on the "At JD's" record (of which I have 3 copies). The information verifies the spelling for Musil and the names of the lessors (the partners) to Musil.
What do I need to do to have the information stay?
Thanks
Lpphoenix ( talk) 07:25, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the correction - Waylon had it spelled wrong in his book, and I am surprised he did not list the names. It is a shame in a sense because you are dealing with people that helped start his career. I have autographed records from him thanking my parents for "all they have done" for him, so I just wanted to acknowledge them.
When they did the interview with the partners wife, I saw pictures I had not seen - Waylon at the build site for JD's, etc. At that interview, just to put it in context, my friend from kindergarten stated "Waylon would come over to the house and play - I would go in my room, close the door, and listen to rock and roll." It was just part of our lives. I was at some point the custodian there, but honestly think it was after he left and the club became Scenes West.
I do other things that are related to history, so I appreciate that when some of these fine details are lost in our time, they are lost forever.
I would suggest (based on writing that I do) that you indicate that the spelling of Musil's name is documented (there is a JD's album on ebay at the moment that shows it) for example, otherwise people will think it is wrong in the text since that is what Jennings had in his book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lpphoenix ( talk • contribs) 01:24, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Definitely a huge, square keep, not a round tower. Just found and corrected your change to Romanesque architecture. I have to say that when you make a small, but significant, change to content, which is wrong, and it is immediately followed by some useful changes, then it can go unnoticed, sometimes for years until a person with the right knowledge comes along, notices, and corrects it. Please check your facts unless you are absolutely sure of them. The large square tower in question is clearly visible in the images, and is one of the best known sights in London.

Please do not accuse another editor of edit warring while edit warring yourself, i.e. not leaving the article in question at the consensus GA version, not using the talk page, not addressing all concerns, and reverting unrelated edits.

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Thrupp & Maberly. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Eddaido ( talk) 01:06, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for
this edit to the article "
Mary Philipse". I have just
modified one of the citations to use the custom template {{
cite DNB}}
. As you can see it is far simpler to use and understand than using {{
cite book}}
for accessing wikisource DNB articles. It has the added advantage that it populates some maintenance templates for use by editors who are part of the
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dictionary of National Biography.
There are other similar templates for other encyclopaedias on wikisource such as {{
Cite EB1911}}
and {{
cite CE1913}}
to mention but two of may (although they are probably the most used). There are corresponding attribution templates for use if text is copied from the PD articles into a Wikipedia article (as allowed under the
plagiarism guideline -- see the section
WP:FREECOPYING), they have the same name but drop the cite eg {{
DNB}}
, {{
EB1911}}
, and {{
CE1913}}

I see that you added the fact to several articles, including
Carbonated water and
club soda, that carbonic acid has a high ph. All acids, by definition, have a low ph, and the ph of carbonated beverages is somewhere between 3-5 (see
https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health-and-nutrition-quackery/carbonated-water-bad-your-teeth, for example). I would suggest correcting this info anywhere else you have added it. --

As part of an effort to buff up Wikipedia's treatment of the etymology and usage of "Manhattan," I came across the Manhattoe article largely authored by you. I'm trying to understand how it fits in. First, I can't find the term "Manhattoe" in the primary or secondary literature, only "Manhattoes" and, very rarely, the singular "Manhatto." Second, I don't understand why the term is particular to the southern tip of the island. One sentence reads: "Located at the very southern tip of today's Manhattan Island, it was known by the native term by both the Dutch and the English who wished to displace them." The citation includes a quote which, to the contrary, uses the term to refer to the whole island: "the town situated on the island commonly known by the name of Manhattoes." Other similar statements in the article cite a paper titled "The Standards of the Manhattoes, Pavonia, and Hell-Gate." This paper introduces the term as follows: "The Manhattans (or Manhattoes), an area comprising present day Manhattan, and parts of Brooklyn, Westchester County and the Bronx." The paper goes on to use the term "Manhattoes" in preference to "Manhattans" following the usage of Washington Irving, its primary subject. Outside of Irving, "Manhattoes" is pretty hard to find, which brings me to my third area of confusion. Is this article arguing that the term "Manhattoes" has a history clearly distinct from "Manhattans," "Manhattes," etc. also in use by Dutch and English? The citations don't seem to support this. So it seems that the topic is not "Manhattoes" per se, but the name of Manhattan, along the lines of the Name of Toronto article. Do you agree? Unendin ( talk) 06:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
I know it is still dogma in some circles that "science fiction" is a pejorative term to be reserved for crap; but I hope we're not getting into one of those arguments. Science fiction need not involve "talking squids in space", time travel, aliens nor space travel. Stories of the future, especially those involving drastic cultural changes such as portrayed in The Iron Heel, 1984, etc. are at the core of what science fiction does. SF is by definition the literature of changes from the quotidian and the mundane, whether for good (utopian) or evil (dystopian) or mixed (LeGuin's The Dispossessed, which she herself subtitled "An Ambiguous Utopia"). -- Orange Mike | Talk 19:28, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Douglas A-26 Invader. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

I note that you recently put the globalise hatnote on Launch. I appreciate that the article is currently a disorganised mess of facts about all the disparate types of boat called "launch", but I was wondering if you can identify any particular element of a better article on the subject that is currently missing? ThoughtIdRetired ( talk) 17:02, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
ThoughtIdRetired. I hear you. You may find some public domain images with Google image search, which focuses on Elco launches. At the least it opens the door to that extensive use of the term "launch" for electrically powered boats, utterly dominated (historically) by Elco in the US. (Check out that page.)
I have another image search or two on my phone I can perhaps forward that may be helpful.
An important improvement that needs to be made on the page - which you may wish to take a crack at - would be better defining what a launch is, and what it is not, and why. A very plastic thing, I realize, but something that direly needs to be addressed. Even as it will likely lead to a "horizontal" expansion of the article (assaying how the term is commonly used). Being defined as an "open motorboat" (twice cited in the article's five-word lead sentence) is simply wrong. It can be one, but obviously manifests in a variety of other ways, both civilian and military.
As for the image of an English steam launch, I would not worry about including it, as it gives an example of one of the four historic/extant means of powering one: electricity, steam, gasoline, and diesel. (With some electric ones also adding solar panels for propulsion/battery charging.)

You are edit warring on the ledes of the articles for all of the Queen Elizabeth-class battleships, reaching 3 reverts on HMS Warspite, with no attempt to discuss the issue on article talk pages, despite having been reverted by multiple editors.
