Surf music

Hi there. Just to thank you for your recent very helpful edits to surf music. I have just put the songs back into inverted commas as that is what is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music)#Popular music, but apart from that minor point, I very much appreciate all you have done so far. However, I felt it was fair to say that I am still undertaking a clean-up after the recent merger and so some of the tidying up you have done or might do, could be wasted effort. The process may take some time as I am having difficulty substantiating some points from reliable sources. On the other hand, if you are happy to edit as the process progresses, then I have no problem with it and a second pair of eyes can only be a good thing. Thanks again.--SabreBD (talk) 07:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing me to that particule style guideline. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Alanraywiki (talk) 13:58, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the barnstar. It cheered up my day a lot.--SabreBD (talk) 20:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station‎‎

Alanraywiki, I actually worked on the design team for SONGs at Bechtel Norwalk, CA and have been inside the plant. I think I know more about it than you do. E-mail me at michael513@mac.com for more details! Please rethink your nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike B2 (talk • contribs) 04:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You can discuss your edit at Talk:San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. Please review also WP:VERIFY. Alanraywiki (talk) 14:49, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote: I think you may want to revisit an edit you made at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. It restored unsourced trivia and a redlink. If you meant to do that, I established a section on the article talk page so we can discuss. Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 20:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC),

Thank you for noticing. I must have been asleep because I intended to delete, not restore that nonsense. Paul Studier (talk) 22:43, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it was an accident when I saw your WP experience. I'm going to strikethrough your user name on the article talk page. Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 22:46, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

David Laibson

In this edit you say that the citation does not mention David Laibson. In fact, towards the bottom of the article, there is this language: "The goal is to put the theories of such economists as Harvard University's David Laibson to work. "I was concerned it was window dressing, but they were truly interested in putting these ideas into practice," says Laibson, a paid member of the center's advisory board who has also studied how companies can increase 401(k) plan enrollment." I am discussing this editor's editing with them on unblock-en-l and noticed this. Fred Talk 13:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I went through that article twice and somehow missed it, but now I do see it. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Alanraywiki (talk) 14:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AIC edits...

I'm not sure why the original edit, is being reverted. the 'original' falls in line with other NORTHEAST-10 colleges in terms of set up. EXAMPLE: ' NOTABLE ALUMNI' section. Why, it is being changed to that new non-sense is beyond me... IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO LIST NAMES IN A PARAGRAPH FORMAT... SAME WITH THE SECTION NAME... WHY 'NOTABLE PERSONS'... ALL OTHER COLLEGES HAVE 'NOTABLE ALUMNI' it seems that most of the changes are cosmetic and not based on content. JUST CHECK HOW OTHERE COLLEGE PAGES ARE SET UP... this change is arbitrary based on a personal taste, not content... (by they way, I personally added the history section the text and pic, the section that is unaffected... but I'm not happy about the changes that were being made to other sections they do not make sense)... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.234.100 (talk) 23:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has guidelines established by consensus. In this case, see Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines for the format of college and university articles. If you feel otherwise, and you obviously do, please discuss this on the article talk page. Alanraywiki (talk) 23:34, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Book of Mormon semi-protection

I have requested permanent semi-protection for Book of Mormon to keep our anonymous IP vandal from being able to edit there. (Taivo (talk) 05:59, 13 October 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks . . . good call. Alanraywiki (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AIC edit.

Please see the discussion page on American International College... User Inquietudeofcharacter is making changes to the page and claiming that just about everything in the old section is breaking Wiki Rules. So, the best thing is to delete everything. Please read the arguments and compare edits. The original version though not perfect is not flat out wrong, and the disruptive changes that are being made are only diminishing the content and straight forward set-up of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.242.223 (talk) 23:03, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

edit on AIC...

WIki does have rules and one is that you can add a 'tag' stating that a section or a paragraph need to be augmented... not simply deleting the entire section.
