Hi Todd, yes. I am the same user: jennepicfoundation. You are correct, I will log in. Did you delete my content? It was all verified through articles, websites, etc. What happened? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.106.210.10 (talk • contribs) 14:57, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

I am talking about this here:Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. Sammy D III (talk) 17:56, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

There is no way I can apologize enough for effectivly slandering you. I wanted to put an apology where others could see it, but it isn't enough. Sammy D III (talk) 20:12, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

List of people from Jersey

Re List_of_people_from_Jersey the name I re-added is notable on the French Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎ Curb Safe Charmer (talk • contribs) 21:32, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

If so, then create the article. Toddst1 (talk) 21:50, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Will do; away on holiday at the moment and I will need to translate the French page. 21:53, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Macomb Community College

Hi Todd: Replying to your question about my connection to Macomb Community College. I am the manager of communications and was asked a couple of years ago to work on the College's Wikipedia page because it contained inaccuracies, misspellings and other embarrassments. I am a trained and experienced journalist with a nearly 30-year history with the college - making me probably one of the most knowledgeable contributors to Macomb's page. I understand the concern about Conflict of Interest and that is why I am taking great pains to be as factual as possible. I am not trying to "sell" Macomb. I had done a basic rewrite about a year ago but returned in the past couple of days when it was brought to my attention that the page contained a notation about the lack of citations. That is what I am attempting to rectify now. I hope this alleviates any concerns you or any other members of the Wikipedia staff had. Marysatmacomb (talk) 18:32, 4 January 2017 (UTC) marysatmacomb.

You should [have] declare(d) this on your user page per the message left by JudgeRM. I've updated Talk:Macomb Community College to reflect your connection. Toddst1 (talk) 19:15, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Free software

You had undone some of my edits related to free software. My edits were however not nonconstructive. Please familiarize yourself with the topic. And have a pleasant 2017! 80.223.108.129 (talk) 19:43, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Uh. The articles say they're free. [1] You say they aint. WP:PROVEIT. Toddst1 (talk) 21:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Deletion query

Hi Toddst1,

Hope you're well! I'm quite new to Wikipedia so apologies if this is the wrong way to do this... Getting in touch as I noticed you deleted Emily Dean's page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Dean

If I provide links to substantiate her page, would it be possible to get it back up and running?

X1c 95 (talk) 14:07, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

@X1c 95: I would start with WP:AFC, but you'll have a pretty tough time after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Battams. What's your connection to Dean? Toddst1 (talk) 19:02, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh dear

...you can't even get the right guideline right. this was the guideline you wanted. Please could you explain where about it says Infoboxes are compulsory? . Cassianto^Talk 19:15, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

They aint. But you don't get to arbitrarily prohibit them. Toddst1 (talk) 19:29, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

The F Bomber

Hi T. The actions of this editor are beyond the scope of AIV. If you wish to pursue the matter, ANI is the obvious venue for this drama, though chances of a solution are limited. Favonian (talk) 19:42, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

@Favonian: Thanks. I've given ANI a shot. Toddst1 (talk) 20:17, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

famousbirthdays.com

Hi Toddst1. I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). I noticed that you've added it, realizing it's poor [2]. We already have IMDb as an external link, which has the same info. I've looked for something better, but am not finding anything. Given BLP, I'd rather leave it out. What do you think? Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 19:03, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@Ronz: Either way. IMDB is pretty unreliable too. Let's pull it. Toddst1 (talk) 05:16, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Already done. Thanks. I've been looking for experienced editors like yourself that have been weighing these sources over carefully in the small, poorly sourced articles like Kenny Doughty, to see what perspectives others may have. You're making it easy. Thanks again. --Ronz (talk) 15:31, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Ronz: Let me know if you want me to look at others. Glad to help. Toddst1 (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand. Other links that are unreliable sources, other articles, or something else? I've been putting together a list of other links that look unreliable and widely used as I've been tracking famousbirthdays.com links: ethnicelebs.com, jrank.org, thefamouspeople.com, notablebiographies.com, and prabook.com. --Ronz (talk) 19:06, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Never mind. I think I'm confused. Toddst1 (talk) 19:07, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

AFD

With respect to your recent nomination, I'm sorry, but I didn't see discussion or consensus pertaining to the two articles you nominated in a batch ... all comments seem to reference the singular subject of the "main" nom. If you see it differently, please let me know; otherwise, my guess would be relisting them for an additional 7 days would probably yield a straightforward delete result. Go Phightins! 04:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

I wondered if I was screwing that up when I nominated the others. I'll resubmit the one remaining to AFD. Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Medri Bahri

Have you looked at the citations being added on the page? I opened a section on the talk page. Duqsene (talk) 16:38, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Re:January 2017

Hello Toddst1. I did made use of edit summary. The place Rigopiano is not a frazione of Farindola. There are no sources (expecially in Italian, neither on the official site of the municipality) that states that. Please, revert edits with more caution.

Regards, --Horcrux92 (talk) 18:25, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh please. The problem is that the source for stating that the place is a frazione is missing. There is no edit war, simply a user convinced that something is different from reality and has no source for referencing it. --Horcrux92 (talk) 22:17, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Are you kidding me with all these pre-compiled messages? I am not a newbie. The user is an it.wiki user, and he most probably knows Italian better than English. Frankly, if he did not complain, I don't see why you should. --Horcrux92 (talk) 22:22, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

If you're not a newbie, then you should know better than edit warring and not communicating in English. Toddst1 (talk) 22:24, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

The link you have removed (i.e. the one I mentioned above) is pefectly working. --Horcrux92 (talk) 22:36, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Toddst1 (talk) 22:38, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Actually it returns the same error if I try to save it on web.archive.org. Maybe it is accessible only in Italy? Regarding the edit warring, I just told you that was not an edit war: I was the ony one who used the edit summary, and the other (and even you!) rollbacked without motivation. But if you want to continue keeping the point, do it. See you, rollbacker. --Horcrux92 (talk) 22:51, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

P.S. You should know that if you reply to me in your talk page I don't get any kind notification if you don't ping me. I hope I don't have to keep in my watchlist all the usertalk in which I write.

Re: Bloody Sunday disambiguation page

As far as I know, we have never even edited the same page, must less communicated in any way. Perhaps seen an edit while doing pending changes work. I have no idea why the heat. What I do know, from cleaning up conflict over what deserves the title 'Bloody Sunday a year or two ago, is that this is a fraught subject that has ramifications into problematical areas (from my knowledge, the march in Selma vs. event in Ireland.

And, as a disclaimer, this note is sent here entirely because of W's reaction to my note at T. Edit warring was never the problem to my mind. I just don't want W to stray even further into actionable failure to assume good faith. Whew! I'm old enough to have lived through fifty years (as an adult) of the events on that page, then reversions for the reasons mentioned above on that page, and now this comedy. I intend to let the page stand while I follow different options. The failure to AGF, well, that's up to you. I hope no further drama is necessary. But thanks for being interested in the subject. — Neonorange (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

@Neonorange: I don't think I've interacted with either of you. My view is while the other editor is correct in the WP:MOSDAB stuff, s/he appears to be far too rigid in the IAR areas and not interested in interaction to discuss or consider exceptions. Don't even think about questioning his/her actions! It appears s/he is an engineer . Go figure. Toddst1 (talk) 21:02, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

I understand. Oddly enough, many years ago I started out in physics, thinking that understanding how the universe works is the most important thing. Only later did I come to thinking that understanding people and physical reality are both necessary. It is important to understand how machines work; it is important to understand how people work—it is even more important to understand the difference. On Wikipedia I mainly follow American novelists and civil rights, and other political movements. From software engineer (before that was a thing) to documentary filmmaking—and here I am. Nice to exchange views. — User:Neonorange (Phil) 21:42, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
