Bill Haley
Wow! I have no idea how long that piece of vandalism had been in the Bill Haley article -- I'd even edited it myself several times and it was one of my "key" articles. Thank you very much for catching this (it was most definitely vandalism or at least bad faith entry of wrong information). 23skidoo (talk) 17:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Please check facts before making changes
Martha Moxley's mother's name was correct before you changed it. The wording change here is no improvement, it just makes the sentence sound clunky. Sometimes it helps to read things out loud first. Don't get discouraged. --CliffC (talk) 17:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Billyfutile! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created  is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Disambiguation link notification for November 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chuck Barris, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Palisades Park (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.

A slight note towards the Kmart wikipedia page
While my edits were perhaps a bit disputed, some online news (ex:"https://www.elnuevodia.com/negocios/empresas-comercios/notas/kmart-de-plaza-las-americas-cierra-sus-puertas/") has announced the closure and the Kmart's Reddit community has reported such news amid to the announcement. Not only that, I've been searching Kmart's section on Puerto Rico and there hasn't been anything other than the 404 page.

Despite of this, I'm curious as to how you would decide the final updates. After all, I haven't seen much images nor updates on the internet. And with that, I'm taking my personal opinion as neutral and I'm hoping to see the final decision towards it. NKNguyen2877 (talk) 14:40, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
