Explaining
I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 14:38, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Links to Oklahoma Legal Group blog that you added to various articles
I notice that you added links to a blog by "Oklahoma Legal Group" to the articles about various films that appeared in their list of "best legal films of all time". I don't think that's appropriate, as blogs are generally considered unreliable and there is no evidence that this law firm is widely accepted as the world's authority on the evaluation of the quality of films about law. —BarrelProof (talk) 20:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear BarrelProof, Thanks for your note. A big fan of your work and it's an honor for you to have a look at some of mine. Not sure how closely you looked at the infographic but it actually uses 12 or so lists of best legal movies and combines them together to form one aggregated weighted super-list. So it's not that he is the world's authority of legal films - not at all, that's actually the exact opposite of the point of it. But as a result of it, one can objectively claim 12 Angry Men is a quality legal film, so on and so forth Billsimmons7 (talk) 06:20, 1 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you for the kind words. I'm rather surprised. No, I'll admit I haven't studied what was on that site – I just saw that it was a law firm blog site instead of a well-recognized authority on films. I'll try to take a look, but I'm not promising anything. In the meantime, you have my permission to look through my contribution history and revert my removals of that material (from six articles) until I get around to studying it more closely. But I'll warn you that two different people thanked me for those removals (one on The Caine Mutiny (film) and one on Paths of Glory) and that citing blogs is generally frowned upon. There were also some other articles that I looked at that had the same kind of information that you had added that was removed by other people some time ago. Also, I suggest that if you restore that material you should add some improved context information to describe why that list is worth paying attention to. If you do revert those edits and I later decide I still don't like it, I will come back here and talk to you again before acting. —BarrelProof (talk) 07:57, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hey BarrelProof what are you surprised about? Well why don't you have a look and then we can revisit it. No point adding the links if they will just be deleted. Billsimmons7 (talk) 08:16, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Hm?
You need help with something? DS (talk) 19:04, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If a pagemove has been screwed up, typically you need to get an admin to fix it (which I've done). Thanks for bringing it to my attention. DS (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of UNICEF Kid Power
Hello, Billsimmons7. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, UNICEF Kid Power, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page]
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
