Peer instruction

Hi Dawn, I am Julie Schell and I made the original Post on the Peer Instruction wikipedia page as you can see - The Blog for Peer Instruction (http://blog.peerinstruction.net) is run by me and I author all the articles and resources there. I am not sure why it was removed.

Thanks so much, Julie Julieschell (talk) 17:29, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Julie. Wikipedia has guidelines against self-promotion. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 18:00, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Please don't keep reverting my restoration on Darius the Great article

Please read the discussion on the Darius the Great article. Basically a bunch of people decided to gang up and "Vote" to have the name of the article changed to "Darius I" from Darius the Great. This is not an election or a popularity contest. All articles in wikipedia are based on sources; Take a moment and think about how silly it is for an editor to start a voting topic on something he has no knowledge of and then have his friends vote on it and then call it a "consensus" and a "good reason" to rewrite history.

Wikipedia operates based on consensus, and you don't have consensus. You can stop quoting the rules at me; I've been here a lot longer than you, and I assure you I know them. Please stop your disruptive editing. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 18:34, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Aidan Turner's page

Hi,

Could you please NOT 'update' my page on wiki. I want my IMDB biography to appear on Wiki.

Thanks,

Aidan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aidan4567 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Aidan. I'm afraid that's not how Wikipedia works. You simply don't get to tell other users not to edit a particular page. Please check the policy outlined at WP:OWN. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 04:07, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Please help

Hi. I am an employee of Critical Path and Mirapoint. I am trying to constructively update the info on our company on Wikipedia (the info has not been updated in years). However, I keep getting an error messages. Might you be able to help with any guidance in making the updates stick? Any help you could provide would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Best, Mike — Preceding unsigned comment added by Critical Path in San Mateo (talk • contribs) 21:59, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Bias

I am extremely surprised to see the way in which you are behaving. Clearly you aren't a Jim Flaherty "fan", but that doesn't mean you get to destroy facts that show the Minister in a good light and leave all the negative sections on his page. I would say that the bias is coming from your end.

Information from the Department of Finance, the Bank of Canada and several news organizations is not reliable?? But LIBERAL.CA is?? Really?

Have a nice day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmfmo (talk • contribs) 14:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I actually am a Flaherty fan, though I expect you won't believe me, but the article was really biased - it isn't supposed to be a hagiography any more than it is supposed to be a takedown piece. The problem isn't so much the sources that you were using, per se, but the way they were being used. You can't, for example, use an article that doesn't mention Mr. Flaherty to source a statement about how Mr. Flaherty saved the Canadian economy. I have already explained this on the article talk page and on the NPOV message board, so I'm not going to re-hash it all here.

Also, take a look at the history of the edits to the page - you'll see that I was not the one to even remove the bulk of the content.

Please participate in the discussion at the article talk page - that's the best place to come to a consensus on the contents of the article. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 15:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Note that I have now removed the liberal.ca source, because I agree that it is not appropriate. Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 15:20, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

I'd like to work together on a go-forward basis, because I didn't start editing this page to get into an editing war. I have great respect for Jim Flaherty and that's why I felt it was important to input some of his achievements, after seeing his entire page had negative content. I've recently put back the Universal Childcare Benefit section, with new sources. Can you check it out for me? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmfmo (talk • contribs) 17:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for this. The best place to collaborate on the contents of the article is the article's talk page, so that any interested party can see and participate in the discussion. I'll see you there! Cheers, Dawn Bard (talk) 18:47, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for page protection Sikhism Sidebar

Hey Mr. Bard, The user anonymous user coming from 66.112.191.186 and also 142.59.249.84 is removing data from other pages without specifying why, perhaps only because I made them as he seems to be attacking my edits particually on the Sikh page where he reverted a bunch of recent edits I made including grammer edits. No sign of actually improving the pages and based on that users history you can tell the user has been doing some vandalism and is up to no good. I removed the section because it seemed that it was under control. Thanks. Jujhar.pannu (talk) 19:10, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Response regarding Sentry Siren Wikipedia page

Good morning Dawn Bard,

As a new contributor to Wikipedia, I am still getting used to the rules and regs. I totally understand that advertising and promotional materials are not permitted. However, the last round of edits I made to Sentry Siren's page were strictly fact and were actually correcting misinformation that existed on the original version of the page I found yesterday. I am going to republish my last round of edits - I sincerely hope everyone will stop undoing my edits as the sole intent of the post is to correct bad information regarding the different Sentry models.

Sincerely,

Awolk1986
