Revision as of 16:33, 11 August 2016

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mirage Records, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The System and Shannon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Soliciting comment...

Hi! Would you care to review my FA nomination for the article Of Human Feelings? The article is about a jazz album by Ornette Coleman. If not, feel free to ignore this message. Cheers! Dan56 (talk) 07:22, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

A Page Forever Editing

Rose_Venkatesan seems to always edit conflict. I'm not enough of a wikipedian to fix that. Hoping you'll take a look.

User:Anniepoo — Preceding undated comment added 23:48, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

It seems as though two of your edits were successful. Did you achieve all the changes you wanted to make? The article isn't locked, so it should be available to edit again. Let me know if you continue to have problems. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 00:49, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Blitzwinger

hey dude! do u know anything about Blitzwinger the youtuber? if you do, help me do an article on blitzwinger on my sandbox. Awesomeninja1589 (talk) 01:47, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I do not know anything about him. Offhand, I'd say that the first step will be finding articles about him. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 03:21, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I failed and I was warned that I'll be blocked for more disruptive editing. I didn't even do anything! I didn't even mean to do disruptive editing. :( Awesomeninja1589 (talk) 01:32, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I saw. Fortunately, you don't need to be an admin to fulfill a useful function here. I wouldn't let it get you down. Just keep making the articles better. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 01:34, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bob Greenberg (record executive), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jerry Greenberg (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Transphobic 'include dead name' movement

Could you poke your nose into Rose Venkatesan please?

An editor's been going around adding dead names. Someone's been pulling them, using a sockpuppet (not me). I've pulled a few, as well, but it needs a new policy, really, and again I'm not willing to become an experienced wikipedia editor just to prevent this site from harassing my friends.

Thanks Anniepoo (talk) 22:58, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi. It looks like a Wikipedia admin has already taken measures to prevent this abuse, temporarily locking down the article. I'll put it on my watchlist, just in case. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 06:10, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
Follow-up thoughts: Since the lock expires after a week, consensus and civility will need to be achieved sooner rather than later. With that in mind, I took a look at how we achieved this in the past. It looks like the MOS:IDENTITY guideline has been altered since we last visited this issue back in 2008. As it is currently worded, it does not come right out and restrict the use of dead names. Even so, I think that is a reasonable application of the guideline. I'm not sure why they took out the specific language pertaining to names (as opposed to just pronouns). I suspect perhaps that recent media events may have precipitated this. It's a weaker, less clear guideline as it stands now, but the spirit is still there. Moreover, I would think that the presumption in favor of privacy should be enough to rule out the use of the dead name in this case. And that's actual policy, not just a guideline. It applies to the cisgendered as well as the transgendered (cf. Devin K. Grayson). I think I will drop a note of my opinion on the article's talk page. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 07:07, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Re: Defries or DeFries

Hello, I looked at the LinkedIn profile you provided and it does indeed look like Defries prefers the less-capitalised variant of his name. Thanks for having spent time looking into this, I had originally just read a biography and went on Wikipedia thinking his name was presented incorrectly.

RPG people

Hi, thanks for adding the source to T.S. Luikart.  :) If you have the time, would you be able to see if you have anything to add to any of the pages at User:BOZ/Draft pages? BOZ (talk) 11:41, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
