I appreciate your August 1st edit to Dorothy Kilgallen's article. Nobody has reverted it as of two weeks later. You corrected the cause of death as it appears in the "Infobox" of the article. The main part of the article uses different words for the cause of her death. I was hoping to insert the very important words "circumstances undetermined" there. When I tried, my edit was reverted. You have many more edits to your credit than I do. I notice activity in your account that goes back to 2010. When you get a chance, can you please edit the main part of Kilgallen's article so the words match the Infobox exactly? There is no hurry. Thanks for your attention.[[User:Myra or someone|Myra or someone]] ([[User talk:Myra or someone|talk]]) 02:45, 17 August 2018 (UTC) |

Eric Bana
Thanks for your addition to Eric Bana. To follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, however, could you mention where this information comes from? Thanks! --Spangineerws (háblame) 01:41, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- I added the sourcing from imdb.com to the article. Sorry, I forgot to add the reference when I originally added the information. Themoodyblue (talk) 07:59, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Adoption offer
I understand that you are enthusiastic to contribute to the encyclopedia and I wish to offer the proposal of adoption (See WP:ADOPT for more info), wherby I will have the opportunity to mentor you along the way, as you learn about wikipedia, its policies and its guidelines. This is of course purely optional and you have no obligation to accept. --Flewis(talk) 08:43, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Also, If you have been experiencing harassment or wikistalking from other editors, you should certainly let someone know, so that those cuasing you 'stress' will be dealt with in an appropriate manner. --Flewis(talk) 08:43, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jennet Conant
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jennet Conant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Oo7565 (talk) 18:43, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
If having 3 New York Times bestsellers is not notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, I would REALLY like to know what is. Conant is a noted, published, best selling author. Please knock off the speedy deletion stuff - or redefine what is considered "notable". Themoodyblue (talk) 18:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Ahhm please source the article to back up whats in the article the only source is her own website which is not good enough you need indy sources to back up the article to make it more clear of its notability and also please read wp:bio about the sources thanks if you added them the article will be fineOo7565 (talk) 18:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
I added a number of references to the article. Themoodyblue (talk) 18:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Autoconfirmation
Hmm, interesting. So you aren't able to move pages or edit semiprotected pages? According to WP:UAL#Autoconfirmed_users, autoconfirmation is done automatically by the software, so I really don't know why you wouldn't be able to do those things. Perhaps leaving a note at WT:UAL asking about it would be a good next step if it's still not working. --Spangineerws (háblame) 21:15, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Hortatory
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Hortatory, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Duplicates a Wiktionary article with no asserion of usefulness in Wikipedia.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

- A Hortatory is an essential part of language and speech - ANY language and speech. If you delete the Hortatory, why not delete "verb" and "noun" as equally useless. Deleting this would be like deleting Greek from the Bible because people don't understand it or use it very often. It is still essential! ....Themoodyblue (talk) 02:49, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
My church
I was a member of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada until my congregation was forced to shut down last year due to declining attendance and other factors. Now I have joined the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, in a congregation whose building my EFCC congregation was renting in its last two years of existence. Although I do not consider myself a Pentecostal, I also believe maintaining established relationships is more important than fighting over an unclear interpretation of doctrine. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Khama-ian.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Khama-ian.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Brambo (talk) 20:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply. The problem is that the image currently has no source indication; if you could add it to the page, it would greatly help determine its license. Thanks! Brambo (talk) 09:10, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Unexplained deletion of maintenance tags
Please don't remove maintenance tags (as you did here) without providing a reason either in the edit summary or on the Talk: page. Thanks. 92.3.44.211 (talk) 20:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. If you're removing a tag because (for example) it's two years old and no longer applies, then state that in the edit summary. Thanks. 92.3.44.211 (talk) 23:10, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
Dean Corll
You are most welcome. I have just spent a few hours searching archives and have managed to retrieve the names of a further two victims, and have just updated the article (although there is still one further identified to be named). I was intrigued by your message, and the one you left on the discussion page of this article. Any links you can find I will gladly view.
What has always struck me about this case is the unanswered questions which linger to this day which are in part due to the lack of a thorough investigation into the full extent of the crimes committed, before and after the discovery of Corll's crimes.--Kieronoldham (talk) 01:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
Mahut-Isner
Haha thanks. I don't think there's a standard for tennis match line scores (I just borrowed the formatting from an article about a baseball game), so if there's anything else you think belongs there, go nuts. Go Isner! U-S-A! Rowsdower45 (talk) 20:43, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
PM
She is not yet PM. ITN was wrong, and has taken it down. If you look at the actual top story article at The Australian rather than the banner and photo caption, it says, "Ms Gillard is to address the media conference shortly before she is sworn in as prime minister early this afternoon by Governor-General Quentin Bryce." She will be sworn in around 12:30 AEST (perhaps later thanks to Rudd's speech running long). -Rrius (talk) 02:13, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't notice that ITN and The Australian had both jumped the gun. My fault. Themoodyblue (talk) 00:36, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Edit warring on Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships
This is a warning for you to stop edit warring on the above article. If you want your version to remain, start a discusison on the talk page and get consensus for it, but I can categorically tell you right now, it is a blatant violation of NPOV, and it is simply ridiculously long to boot. I have no idea where you got this idea that it is Wikipedia's role to reflect the 'power' and 'gravitas' of an external source's entire quote in this way, but you are massively wrong. I am trimming it one more time, to restore the consensus situation per WP:BRD, namely, you were bold to add it, and it's presence is objected to, strongly, and has been removed pending discussion. If you reinstate it again, I will be asking at the edit warring noticeboard for an admin to remove your ability to carry on being disruptive until you accept that this is not how you resolve disputes. MickMacNee (talk) 17:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
You sir, are the one who needs a reality check. You started the war with an arbitrary edit that has no consensus behind it. Simply because you object to a long quote does not mean that everyone else does, nor does it mean that it is "ridiculous". As you are the one editing and changing the original post, you are the one who needs to open a talk page discussion and get a consensus. Your opinion is not the rule of law. Where do you find a "consensus situation" (based on WP:BRD) that conforms to your opinion about the edit. There isn't one, and your stating, however forcefully, that there is does not create one. How arrogant is it to assert that I was "bold to add it"? Does everything have to pass through your censorship filter in order to have a consensus? Show me where others are of the same opinion and I will abide by that, but I have looked and found none. The quote was part of the article long before you started editing it to fit your personal standards. If you find this disruptive, than that says more about your insecurity and arrogance than it does about my quote. Remember, YOU edited down a quote that YOU found "ridiculous" without any consensus to back it up. Before you go threatening people with banning, you should look to your own behaviour. How does my editing constitute "being disruptive" and your does not? You have changed my original work three times - isn't that is disruptive and unacceptable? I see no pending discussion, no attempt to find consensus, and no attempt on your part to do exactly what you are demanding of me. Until that is present, please stop threatening me meaninglessly - you say "it's presence is objected to, strongly," - by whom, precisely, besides yourself? Please list them so that I can see a consensus for your action. Absent that, please stop threatening people to get your way. It is unseemly and unnecessary. DaysOfFuturePassed (talk) 18:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
WP:BRD is pretty clear, and WP:DR and WP:3RR are even clearer. I haven't threatened you at all, I've warned you what the consequences would be if you carried on edit warring. And sorry, but you aren't special, these consequences are what anyone in your position would be facing if they were acting in the same way. Do not fall into the trap of thinking the warning has anything to do with the validity of your content, it does not. But on that issue, if you think your content is valid, it will be a trivial matter to show it has support then wouldn't it? I await to be convinced, but based on my experience in editing thousands of other articles, I remain strongly skeptical that you have a proper handle on what is and isn't appropriate in this situation. You comments about how this one massive quote summarises everybody else's opinions nicely is just out and out editorialising tbh, very concerning. But let's be crystal clear, I am not required to begin that discussion for you, not in the slightest. MickMacNee (talk) 18:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
You have have made no effort to show that you have support for anything, yet seem to think that I need to show solid support for every word I write. That is a pathetic double standard. At any rate, you are correct - you don't have to have that discussion with me. I have posted this whole mess in its entirety on the edit war board and have reported you for edit warring. Please take it up with them. If they say that I am doing something wrong, I will certainly abide by that. However, you asserting your opinion and then arguing that it is the only correct choice is beyond arrogance. I will abide by the consensus that the edit warring board reaches. Please do not contact me again on this issue. Themoodyblue (talk) 18:35, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Themoodyblue! Thank you for your recent good faith entry to the article - I reverted it only because it added a redundancy. In my edit summary, I mistakenly said it was mentioned in the first sentence of the paragraph - what I meant was the first sentence of the section (and I was wrong about that too: it's the second sentence) "D'oh!" Anyhoo, "They had four children; actor Christopher Kennedy Lawford, and daughters Sydney Maleia Kennedy Lawford, Victoria Francis Lawford, and Robin Elizabeth Lawford." I hope you understand my revert, and all the best with your editing! Cheers :> Doc9871 (talk) 06:23, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
I apologize if you feel your edits are unwanted, or that your edits are being suppressed, but your edit itself included the phrase "and other 'gossip' sites". That notwithstanding, your edit did not actually include those sources; you merely referred to them (as opposed to linking to them, or specifically citing them). Please, if you feel that you have something to add to Mel Gibson, or any other article, be sure to properly source it. Chickenmonkey 04:45, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Re: Las Vegas TV edits
Really? You think that removing the one line sentences about a few characters from the "Background" section now makes the article entirely useless? There's a whole freakin "Cast And Characters" section immediately below it that is more useful and fleshed out than what I removed from it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.117.222.238 (talk) 15:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Edit to Minnesota Twins
Hi. Just as a note, regarding one of your recent edits to Minnesota Twins: if you have several items that can all be sourced to the same reference, you should name the reference (the code looks like <ref name="ReferenceName">citation text here</ref>), and then use the repeated name for multiple iterations of the same source (code as follows: <ref name="ReferenceName"/>). It would also be appreciated if you didn't refer to {{cn}} tags as an "epidemic" in your edit summary, because those elements of this article did really need to be sourced. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page. Thank you for your contributions! — KV5 • Talk • 20:25, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Hey Killervogel5!
Hey mate, thanks for the note. I will repair the references that you mentioned when I get a chance (have a new job as a consultant to a newly elected government and I think I have terminal jet lag (is that possible? (-: ) I have to disagree with you though about the "citation needed" tag issue. The way they are being used are making some articles absolutely unreadable. Many are used to undermine ideas that someone doesn't like but can't challenge directly, and others seem to feel that every verb, conjunction and definite article needs some sort of documentation. The "citation needed" tags are being abused by some people who have no idea why they are there or what the appropriate use of them is.
However, I am also not exactly sure how to address the issue - I completely agree that statements of substance need documentation, but not every sentence in every article does. I have noticed that a few people (and in looking it seems to be the same few sometimes) tend to also use the who? what? when? where? and why? tags (pardon the attempt at a funny there) to undermine ideas and statements that they disagree with. If something actually needs a citation I leave it alone, but it just seems many times that where and how the "citation needed" is used is trivial and meaningless.
I would appreciate any ideas that you have that we could suggest to streamline the whole "citation needed" and "who? what? when? where? and why?" problems so that they are used when needed and appropriate while also keeping the articles readable and also keeping some people from making a statement about the articles veracity without having to provide any documentation of their own. In a very real way, putting a "citation needed" tag where it is not really appropriate makes the casual reader question the entire truthfulness of a statement that may not need any documentation at all. Any ideas on streamlining this? One though I had is to come up with a central tag, like the "{bias}" tag, that alerts the reader that there might be sourcing problems without them having to read "citation needed" every fifth word. As I said, I am not quite sure how to address the problem, but it is a problem that needs to be discussed.
I will get the references with the Minnesota Twins updated when I get some free time (probably on my next flight back to Sydney - it is only a 18 hour flight (ugh!).) Thanks for the note - take care. And please let me know if you have any thoughts towards fixing the "citation needed" issue.
Have a good weekend! The Moody Blue 20:50, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
- I understand your feelings on the citation templates. I'm not saying that there's no problem with their usage; there may very well be. My concern was with airing your grievances with the process in an edit summary. There are certainly more appropriate forums for discussing that; you could open an RfC on it if you'd like wider community input. That said, thanks for agreeing to fix those, and happy editing! — KV5 • Talk • 20:54, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Barnett Shale
Hi, Themoodyblue. Thank you for your addition to the Shale oil extraction. Unfortunately there is a lot of confusing concerning terms 'shale' and 'oil shale'. Barnett Shale is not oil shale. It has a great potential for shale gas (which is not related to oil shale) production, but this is different from oil shale. Therefore I reverted your edits.

Hello Themoodyblue. I noticed you have recently contributed to the table tennis page. Let me know if you are interested in collaborating on other pages of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Table tennis.
- Cialo (talk) 09:04, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm happy to involve you in the project. I guess you are from the US, indeed we need a responsible for North America area. In particular, we currently have the pages for the Latin American Table Tennis Union and for the Latin American Table Tennis Championships. The next step is to do the same for the North America. Do you think you can help in creating these pages ? You could use the Latin America related page as a model... In particular we would need:
- A page for the North American Table Tennis Union
- A page for the North American Table Tennis Championships
- You could find all the required information on the ITTF website and on its statistics section http://www.ittf.com/ittf_stats/. When the two aforementioned pages are created and filled up a new page for eachwinning player could be added, at a first stage a stub page is enough (e.g., Ruth Aarons)
- An other important point is to improve the table tennis main article following the indications provided by the reviewers in Talk:Table tennis. Let me know how do you prefere to collaborate. In the mean time I have included your name in the project page Wikipedia:WikiProject Table tennis.

Edit to Mike Milbury
Dear Themoodyblue, I'm afraid there has been a miscommunication between us. On December 16 2011, I made a three word grammatical correction to the Mike Milbury page. You removed it and then sent me a brief message, warning not to make biased, irresponsible contributions to Wikipedia. Below, I have provided evidence that I added no additional opinionated commentary to the stated article.

A tag has been placed on This Is A Recording (David Persons Album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Arpaio information IS correct - please revert my edit back immediately
[The following is pasted from my talk page S. Rich (talk) 18:39, 9 June 2012 (UTC)] My information IS correct. County law enforcement officers are deputized by an elected sheriff and are legally "deputies", NOT "officers". Look up Arizona county mandate laws. Also, look up the Stoddard appeal case, and you will see that they specifically mention Arpaio's claim about court authority. Please revert my changes until you are able to provide documentation that they are in fact incorrect. The Moody Blue (Talk) 18:00, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- Absolutely not. You are correct about deputies, but that is not the problem. The info you put in is not supported by the article cited. Come on, you know better.--S. Rich (talk) 18:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
- Added with my paste of the above: Thank you for providing additional references about the Stoddard incident. As indicated by your subsequent edits, the original editing problem was with the additional info not supported by the news article. Also, you are correct about the designation of deputy. (But please note his job title was "Detention Officer".)--S. Rich (talk) 18:39, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

Beginning of Lilibet and Philip romance
The original and most reliable source for Lilibet's initial response to Philip was her nanny, Marion "Crawfie" Crawford, whose comment on the topic in her book, "Little Princesses" suggests that the young cousins had taken no prior note of one another, regardless of any official ceremonies they may both have been present at previously. When I posted in the Charles, Prince of Wales article that this first meeting on 22 July 1939 -- when she was 13 and he was 18 -- was arranged by Lord Mountbatten who arranged and accompanied the King and Queen on their visit to Dartmouth that day, I was told pretty much the same thing you were, here. Yet I don't consider the Vanity Fair quote sufficient to establish the couple's prior acquaintance: of course they were both present at the 1934 wedding and 1937 coronation -- but so were hundreds of other relatives and courtiers, and the age gap at those dates would have been likely to minimise their interaction. Have you seen or read anything which states that they had actually been introduced to one another earlier than when Crawford describes their encounter?

Maintenance template removed from Secondhand Lions
You removed the "Plot" maintenance template from this article, but you didn't do anything to address overly long plot summary that impelled someone to put it there in the first place. Making matters worse, you didn't explain your edits in an Edit Summary (or on the Talk page). I put it back.
Your citation, "via IMDB locations list", is not very specific, either, but I left it. I don't think it's up to WP:MOS style, though. — UncleBubba ( T @ C ) 03:17, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

The Sopranos, "Kennedy and Heidi"
Hello, you have edited the "Kennedy and Heidi" article and have added a piece of info regarding Kelli Moltisanti-Jackie Kennedy reference to its "plot" section. To avoid an edit war, we should discuss the addition.
- The bit of info regarding Tony making a comparison between Kelli Moltisanti and Jackie Kennedy, I believe, is too trivial to include in the plot summary. The cultural reference should just be, and already is, mentioned in its appropriate section below.
- The sources you have provided to support the addition are:
- First of all, unreliable and inadmissible (two of them) as they are mere blog posts of private individuals. The only acceptable sources to truly support a plot detail would have to come from someone affiliated with the show (preferably writers), that is from them directly or cited/reported by reliable third parties.
- Your refs only mention the Jackie Kennedy reference but not the favorable reaction of Tony, a claim which you would want to support. None of the sources touch that at all. I therefore removed them.
- Now, whether or not Tony exactly likened Kelli to Jackie favorably or not is a rather difficult thing to decipher, I'd say. As I can remember, it was left pretty vague and ambiguous in the episode, all Tony said was, "Oh, Jackie Kennedy," and the camera cut to a quick shot of Kelli and that's it. Seeing any much into it either way, I think, would be largely an interpretation. Tony's overall conduct at the funeral scenes was of disgust of the mourners though, therefore just leaving the sentence "Tony is noticeably disgusted by the ostentatious display of everyone's sorrow." in the plot section should be enough, I believe.
What do you say? TheBearPaw (talk) 17:56, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Re: Protocol style for mayors
Sorry, my edit summary was unclear. I meant to say that we don't typically include honorifics before the name of politicians at other levels in the opening sentence of the lead, so it is unusual to change the style for mayors. It isn't even done for the British monarchs. It seems like something that might warrant discussion at WT:CANADA or the like. Cheers! Resolute 01:03, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Thorndale Jam.JPG
A tag has been placed on File:Thorndale Jam.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag.

Checkpoint Charlie
Your 15 Feb 2016 revision to Checkpoint Charlie states that "Gotcha!" was filmed on both sides of the Berlin Wall. Do you have another reference for this than the one given?
The given IMDb reference, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089222/locations , cites three West Berlin filming locations, as does the credits in the movie. And no East Berlin filming locatons. Which would have been next to impossible in 1985. I think you'll find that the so-called East Berlin footage was actually filmed in Kreuzberg.

I appreciate your August 1st edit to Dorothy Kilgallen's article. Nobody has reverted it as of two weeks later. You corrected the cause of death as it appears in the "Infobox" of the article. The main part of the article uses different words for the cause of her death. I was hoping to insert the very important words "circumstances undetermined" there. When I tried, my edit was reverted. You have many more edits to your credit than I do. I notice activity in your account that goes back to 2010.
