Barons, Alberta Wiki

I would like to know why you keep deleting accurate information posted to this page. I thought Wiki was a collborative effort to improve information. If you feel you have more accurate information regarding Barons I would like to see you edit it for greater accuracy/clarification rather than arbitrailly deleting information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.83.154.162 (talk) 18:21, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

You're asking me why I keep reverting your edits? Because you removed half the content from the page with absolutely no reason given in the edit summary. If you had removed the information and told other editors why in the edit summary field, then I would have given a second thought to reverting the edits. Bped1985 (talk) 14:02, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just a quick note to say thanks a lot for the barnstar! It means a lot when people take notice of how I've helped out :) So thanks again! --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 20:23, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

I try to spread a little Wikilove when I can. Happy editing! Bped1985 (talk) 20:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Edit-a-thon in Madison

I saw that you live in Milwaukee (based on your userpage), so if you're interested, I wanted to invite you to a humanities edit-a-thon in the Madison Public Library on Friday, April 25th (1:30–3:30). It'll be on the shorter side and is aimed at new editors, but I hope to see you there. More information is available on the 2014 UW Conference on the Public Humanities website. Let me know if you have any questions czar ♔ 04:39, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry to see that you've pretty much stopped editing here; I hope that's a temporary situation

Even if you weren't a fellow UW-M alumn, I think you had a pretty darned record and a fine style in things like confronting vandals. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:27, 6 September 2014 (UTC) (editing Wikipedia in the first-floor computer lab instead of going to Pantherfest)

See, it's funny that you just posted this, as I was just thinking about my Wikipedia editing days during my drive into campus this morning. Perhaps it's time I fire up the good 'ole Huggle and get back to vandalism patrol! Bped1985 (talk) 05:00, 6 September 2014 (UTC) (Editing Wikipedia from my house instead of going to Pantherfest)

Mcneese State University

I added a simple line about MSU's new Basketball complex that you marked as vandalism. I was on the page looking for some info and saw that no one had added the new complex so I did so. I am the source. I drive by it daily as I am a student there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.217.72.81 (talk) 04:15, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, If you look at the message I left on your talk page, you'll see that I didn't mark your edit as vandalism. I posted a notice that the statement you inserted into the article needed to have a verifiable source. Reference WP:VERIFY for questions about this. Shouldn't be hard to find a source on a building project- campus news article etc. Thanks! Bped1985 (talk) 01:22, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Edit to CBSSN

Hi, new to this so here goes! I updated without citation because i could not find one on the Bell TV website, I can assure you though that the channel has been dropped from the Bell TV services. As of August 21, 2014 channels 413 and 1413 are no longer active and have not been reassigned. As i had subscribed to the channel, and have not yet received a reply from Bell as to why it was dropped, the only option for a citation would be the list of programming on the Bell home page http://www.bell.ca/Bell_TV/Products/Best_Package, which when refining by sports channels it is now absent from the channel list. It was a favorite of mine, now its gone, not happy! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.100.52.255 (talk) 02:11, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I don't necessarily doubt that the channel has been dropped, but all content on Wikipedia must have a source cited. And, the listing of channels isn't an ideal source, but it could work. Have you tried looking to Google for a news story? Bped1985 (talk) 19:40, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
