Have you perhaps conflated "pejorative" and "perjurious" here? -- Hoary (talk) 05:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Please discuss your edits at Talk:MacArthur Maze rather than continuing to revert war. --Rschen7754 07:03, 31 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Regarding your recent edits: Under Wikipedia's policies regrading articles titles, it is the common name used by most reliable sources, not the official name. If you hear any traffic report by most of the Bay Area news media, they use the phrase "MacArthur Maze" to refer specifically to the 80/580/880 interchange. Thus, that is what the scope of this article should be. What the official name that is used by Caltrans is irrelevant. Any attempt to move it back to the 980/24 interchange will invariably get reverted back, in grounds of the aforementioned Wikipedia policies. Regards. Zzyzx11 (talk) 07:05, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, But you are incorrect. NOBODY who lived here called 'The Maze' the Macarthur Maze' prior to the mid 1990's. The recent trend seems to be fueled by articles, such as this wikipedia article.
 * "I am right and you are wrong" is not a valid response: where's your sources? --Rschen7754 08:32, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Where are your sources? All I see are a couple of recent instances of a reporter or spokesperson getting a name wrong. If you want a source of 'Common Name' then I am a source. I have lived in the East Bay for over 40 years and grew up KNOWING the Macarthur Maze as the Macarthur Maze. I grew up knowing the other interchange as 'The Maze'. EVERYBODY I know calls the Macarthur Maze by it's correct name and calls the Distribution Structure 'the Maze' None of the references in the article, which inaccurately name the interchange date to before 2007. It appears that, as a result of incorrect information on Wikipedia and other sites, some have begun mistaking these interchanges.

Sandra Fluke
Your recent edit on Sandra Fluke was in violation of WP:NPOV. Please go to the talk page and discuss such edits.Casprings (talk) 07:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

I disagree! the article was in violation of NPOV and I was correcting the entry. Whatever.. Editing a page to make it neutral and remove bias is apparently a violation of the rules. The article used biased and inaccurate language which was not supported by the sources. It amounted to editorial.

The edit was properly sourced. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: You should check yourself before reverting edits and making false accusations.

Hello, I'm Epicgenius. Your recent edit to the page United States appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Are you sure that adding the reference from 1941 is correct? It may be outdated.'' Epic Genius (talk) 16:30, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Regarding your reply, You undid my edits. I believe you were in error. 1)I corrected the information about the Chief Law Enforcement Officer. I used a valid source from 1941, which is commonly cited by judges, but there are numerous sources that state the Sheriff is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in a jurisdiction.2)I removed a statement which was both dated and biased. The statement was not neutral, and was based on an editorial, which was itself based on old data. The reversion was mainly not in error. You can add the reference back, but the article said basically the same thing before and after your edit. Epic Genius (talk) 17:44, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

I changed the order of the list to the correct order of precedence, with the Sheriff's Department listed first and the local police after because the Sheriff is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO)of the court's jurisdiction while local police serve the community at large. State level law enforcement should be listed third, because they are generally limited in scope and extensions of the executive branch of the State administration.946towguy (talk) 19:01, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, but still, you could have made it clear that the sheriff is the most important officer for any given jurisdiction. Epic Genius (talk) 19:50, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

How about this example, from the National Sheriff's Association website FAQ page? "6. What is the difference between a Sheriff and a Police Chief?

A Sheriff is generally (but not always) the highest, usually elected, law-enforcement officer of a county. Chiefs of Police usually are municipal employees who owe their allegiance to a city." http://www.sheriffs.org/content/faq


 * I suppose you can add that reference to the article, though you'd have to clarify your edit. Epic Genius (talk) 00:04, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
