Melbourne, FL

I put the section back in, mainly because although a bit gaudy it was all true, and all seemed to be valid articles.

Perhaps get rid of the arrows, move to the back?

The Georgia Page

Actually, now that I think about it, I went to the Georgia page and went through the links of the major cities. When I went to each cities page I checked out there metro status and Macon came in third behind Atlanta and Augusta.

Dated cleanup tags

Hi, thanks for your message, SmackBot does not generally add tags, but merely dates those that are already there. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 12:11 7 August 2007 (GMT).

Catholic Churches

You offered some comments last week about a proposed deletion of Incarnation Catholic Church and School (Glendale, California). You correctly noted that the article was rough, as it had just been started. I have been preparing articles on some of the significant parishes in Los Angeles and wondered if you'd have a few minutes to take a look and make suggestions on format, content, info boxes, etc. One of your notes indicated that the number of members was key data, and I agree, but do you know of any verifiable source to determine membership for Catholic parishes? Examples of the parishes I have so far created articles for are: St. Andrew's Catholic Church, Pasadena, St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church, St. Charles Borromeo Church (North Hollywood), and St. Finbar Catholic Church and School (Burbank, California).

Brandywine

Brandywine is a general disambiguation page (which Brandywine Creek and Brandywine River) point to.

I went through all the Brandywine references and updated them to point to the appropriate articles. There were and are many pages referring to either "Brandywine Creek" or "Brandywine River" and not necessarily pointing to the correct one.

"Brandywine River" can refer to: "Brandywine Creek (Christina River)" or "Brandywine Creek (Cuyahoga River)". or the fictional (Hobbit/Rings Trilogy) Middle Earth river.

"Brandywine Creek" refers to at least 25 different ones in the U.S.

(5) Brandywine in British Columbia, (2) Brandywine in Nova Scotia, and more outside of North America ...

Rivers are officially disambiguated by their downstream_parent, for instance Brandywine (Christina River), only when that fails, then a reasonable civil sub-division. See WikiProject Rivers for more details.

If you undo my updates, you are on your own...

I am not particularly familiar with Vermont but I try to edit pages with correct links, sources, etc. Adams' page says the town so it has been fixed to that. Any correction to my corrections can be made. Thanks for the thanks!

WP:UE

I fought long and hard against using "Funny Foreign Squiggles" in names. Indeed back in may 2005 Audiovideo put in that link because I used that expression so much. I became interested in this issue after someone move the First Battle of Zurich to First Battle of Zürich (The editor who made the move justified it on the move of Zurich to Zürich, and not on what was used in sources) but I realised later on that the arguments about what was the correct name which foreigners often presented as justification for a name was counter productive. What I realised was that just as funny foreign squiggles looked wrong to me, so to a native speaker (even if their English was very good), native names looked wrong to them. So it was necessary to find and objective method of judging what was the correct name, particularly as monoglot English language speakers are often swamped on a name by local speakers who tend to cluster around their own topics of national interest and so tended to be in a majority in move debates over the issue of squiggles. This was at the time that WP:V was being developed as a policy, and WP:UE was one of the first naming guidelines to incorporate it (it was much later that the AT policy incorporated reliable sources). I think PMA introduced the concept to UE, and it solved the problem. Once English sources were used the issue became much easier because it was no longer a matter of opinion in most cases. And guess what! In the majority of cases English language sources are without "Funny Foreign Squiggles". So I suggest that you abandon arguments like ease of use (because foreign national are not on side over that one) and just argue that the name should reflect the name in English language sources. It ties in with the other policies and cuts out endless arguments about what is the "best" name to use. -- PBS (talk) 05:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

As I understand it, we hope to wind up at the same point, right? I personally don't object to various foreign spellings for "esthetic" reasons, but because I usually can't scan for them in a document nor search for them (easily) in a google search.

I'm a pragmatist/realist. I can live with that (UE) I guess. I've never taken Spanish, but can agree that certain words with the "funny foreign squiggle" over the "n" would result in a different pronunciation. Which, frankly, I could care less about in a printed encyclopedia!  :)

I like that phrase, BTW. Pretty funny!  :) Student7 (talk) 22:24, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Citations and lists of notable people

After some more research, it looks like you were right about including citations on lists of notable people. It seams all lists of notable people nominated to Featured lists contain references for each entry. See: List of Georgia Institute of Technology alumni for an example.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 17:02, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello- Walmart bit was already there, I fixed some typos and put a tag and left it. Unreferenced POV but I thought it may have been accurate enough to leave for someone with some knowledge of the area to sort out. Regards (Crusoe8181 (talk) 01:33, 22 June 2010 (UTC)).

Sebastian, FL

Hello Student7,

Is there any reason why you deleted the Chamber of Commerce information from the Sebastian, FL wiki page? As an employee of the Chamber, I know what an important role we play in the Sebastian community so the chamber staff, including myself, thought it would be appropriate to put a bit of information regarding the Chamber on Sebastian's page. You are the second person to delete it and I was curious as to why and perhaps get an insite from an editor's point of view to see how we might avoid this in the future. The Sebastian Chamber is incredibly valuable to the community like I mentioned so is there any particular reason why this would have been deleted?

Many thanks

Sorry to revert you - but It says "one of the...", and the rest of the paragraph explains - I honestly think its fine. I'm not sure how much more background could be needed there, without getting into some sort of strange ranking discussion.  -  Begoon (talk) 21:12, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Point Loma

Hi - I'm new to Wikipedia editing. I had a couple of questions about your changes of my edits to the Pt. Loma article. I'd put Nature as a new heading, because it didn't seem to fit under "Geography" - could "Fauna" be its own heading? Next, the "ecologically sensitive" language came from the SPAWAR brochure that I used as the reference. Third, what's wrong with saying, "Point Loma is home to..." I understand the benefits of brevity, but it seems that the rest of the article freely uses similar phrases. Finally, I felt that "a population of feral green parrots" was more descriptive than just "feral green parrots". I'd appreciate your input - and also your advice, including if this was the best way to address these issues! Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 17:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, Student7. Your explanations made sense, although I don't know if I consider Elements of Style to be quite the Bible that a lot of people do. I'll keep trying. Dohn joe (talk) 19:00, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Wondering if I might bother you for an edit?

Hello there friendly friend. I was wondering if I could bother you to do a small edit that I dare not do myself because I have a conflict of interest with the subject matter. For a few years, my brother had a nice little Wikipedia biography page. After some review, it was decided that his accomplishments did not warrant a full biography, but rather belonged as snippets on pages referring to events he was involved with. You can see the final resolution of these discussions here. I dare not add these snippets myself, and I don't think the editors involved with the discussions seemed very interested in doing it. So that brings me to kindly asking you.

Specifically, would you mind adding a short snippet about my brother being first in line to the Grant Park Victory Speech, 2008 page, which the other editors suggested? I know it's a small little thing, but it meets Wikipedia Notability. I don't want to tell you what to add because of my CoI, but I will give you the references necessary for adding it. Here is a cache of my brother's Wikipedia biography so you can get an idea of what was written about the event before. Here are the key citations MTV, NBC, Ekstra Bladet (Danish News), Público (Portuguese News) and the Chicago Tribune (important because it revisits his experience a year later.

If you're up for it, it would be much appreciated. If not, I completely understand. Would you mind letting me know either way. Thanks for taking the time to read this Dkriegls (talk) 06:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Disruptive editing of the Medicaid and Medicare (United States) articles

Please stop your WP:Disruptive editing of the Medicaid [1] [2] [3] and Medicare (United States) [4] [5] [6] articles—repeatedly adding false and misleading material (mis)citing UNRELIABLE sources.

• An opinion column by Col. John D. Beeson, USAF (Ret) in the July 2010 The INTERCOM newsletter of the Cape Canaveral Chapter, Inc. of the Military Officers Association of America[7] quoting an October 20, 2009 Wall Street Journal editorial[8] is not a WP:Reliable source.
• A silly ("All currency figures in this paper are in nominal form, i.e., unadjusted for inflation") partisan July 31, 2009 opinion paper by the Joint Economic Committee Republican staff[9] on the Joint Economic Committee Republicans website[10] is not a WP:Reliable source.

Repeated re-addition of false and misleading material to the Medicaid and Medicare (United States) articles and careless (mis)citation of UNRELIABLE sources is disruptive and unacceptable. Apatens (talk) 06:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

(editor did not want to read that costs of programs were grossly underestimated in order to get them through Congress and by the public. I did not draw the latter conclusion, but merely quoted sources pointing out that one estimate was made in 1965, for example, resulting in a much higher cost in the actual year. The editor did not want readers to see that! I don't blame him. They were off by a factor of ten! Pretty embarassing! Still trying. So far, the censors have the best of it.)

Your comment from two weeks ago

Thanks for the note :-) I was at a weeklong church event; I didn't get much online time, and what time I did get was spent (1) finding locations for sites to photograph during breaks, or (2) communicating with Dcmacnut, who had asked me to get some photos near where I live. But yeah, I've removed the Vermont articles from my watchlist because I simply didn't have enough time to keep up with them and do everything I needed to do.

Southern States University

The main deal with the "wikify" tag on the article Southern States University is that it lacks wikilinks. It has 12 paragraphs and only 6 wikilinks. Back in September 2009, when the article had only two stubby sentences, it contained 4 wikilinks. I would expect users to be able to find (and follow) links to articles about topics like the cities where the school has campuses, the subjects in which it offers courses, the state organization that is said to have approved it to operate, etc.

Additionally, many Wikipedians would want articles like this one to include an infobox, not to mention the navbox template that the article contained before Lanakon showed up and replaced the former stub article with an unwikified advertisement. --Orlady (talk) 14:53, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Power center

It's not about which name is more "smug," but rather which one is more common. The concept is more common in the US, where it's called a "power center." This is a widely used term in the retail industry, not some PR thing. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 16:24, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Religion: reword active per Strunk and White.

If you're going to cite that horrid little book you might at least take care to note that the grammatical term "active voice" does in fact have a well-defined meaning (E.B. White's well-documented confusion notwithstanding). In your edit, you changed one passive-voice clause to another passive-voice clause (not that there's anything wrong with the passive voice, E.B.
