corpsicles
Hi I saw the new category you listed on the Ted Williams, page. While funny, I'm not sure that's a real category. Do you want to go back and edit it out ? No Guru 04:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC).


 * Thanks I like the new category title better ! No Guru 04:58, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Jerome Branch Corbell redirect
Hi, I changed this article to a redirect per Wikipedia's guidelines on notability in fiction; the article's contents were more fully covered in A World Out of Time. --Muchness 09:26, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Clipper route
Thanks for adding those ship links to clipper route — I searched for Lightning last night and couldn't find her, so I've added her to Lightning (disambiguation). — Johan the Ghost seance 11:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Captain Powell
Hi Brainhe. I'm Wikimachine, and I saw your article Captain Powell (Dark Star). I say that we merge it into the Dark Star article. I don't see the need for a separate article for just a character in movie -especially an outdated one. You know, this is an encyclopedia. So could you take some moment to consider my suggestion? Thanks. (Wikimachine 02:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC))

Hoh River
Hello Brian,

I've noticed that you have submitted a few nice contributions to the article about Hoh River. I am currently gathering feedback about the Hikipedia project (which also includes an article about Hoh River). Could you please give me some feedback about the Hikipedia site? Would you consider contributing to Hikipedia?

I know that one can add trail descriptions to a regular Wikipedia, but there are quite a few things that would be too difficult too acomplish: trail-oriented search, embedded weather forecast, voting for trail difficulty and enjoyability, trail reports, links and images of guidebooks.

Please let me know what you think about Hikipedia (you can use the feedback page, or reply here).

Thank you for your time,

Lukasz Anforowicz

Redundant cat
noting your redundant cat edits, what's the policy-guideline-direction on adding cat...sorry to be fudging it, but how do you decide? Listing in "Motorcycle manufacturers of the United States" does not make the topic appear in "Motorcycle manufacturers", so in what sense is that redundant? Seasalt 06:10, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Great cleanup job
I appreciate your cleanup job with the computer networking companies. You probably realize that I've been working quite a bit in that area and just today I realized "Networking companies of the United States" wasn't connected at all to the networking subtree as it should be. Thanks for sorting out the cat / subcat stuff! This month I have been trying to thin out the "Computer hardware companies" cat by creating new cats when justified and just generally shifting things around to sharper categories.

Seattle categorizations
On the whole, I appreciate the work you are doing on Seattle categorizations, but I believe that at least two of these are wrong, one dead wrong. You placed Picardo Farm under Category:Parks in Seattle. Picardo Farm is not a park. It is not even under the jurisdiction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, it is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Neighborhoods. Similarly, the inclusion of P-Patch in Category:Parks in Seattle is not entirely wrong (since some of them are in parks), but is misleading (because many, such as Picardo Farm, are not). - Jmabel | Talk 20:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I suppose it could go under Seattle government but that's a little obscure. Parks is the closest we have for a category for these things but I agree it's a little imperfect.  I'd prefer not to leave it in the top-level Seattle category.  I'm open to suggestions. Brianhe 23:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Satra
why motorcycles (its not a motorcycle brand) rather than motorcycling? just curious about the logic. Seasalt 11:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Good question, I almost put a short explanation in the edit log but here it is. Satra was a distributor.  We don't have a place for it but if we did, I thought it would be in the motorcycles cat, analagous to vehicles->automobiles->auto dealerships.  Brianhe 16:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Cossack isnt just a classification but brand name used by Satra to market Soviet bikes, in same way Matchless put AJS badges on matchless bikes. Just so long as u knew that & still thought "motorcycle classification" was best category.... also on Dnepr a bot changed category sidecar to sidecars...Seasalt 11:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Heartfelt Thanks
Brian, I wanted to thank you for your dedicated work with Wikipedia. My recent creation of the David Andrew Thompson page was deleted as per Wikipedia policy and community choice. Thank you for holding my feet to the fire with the standards that keep Wikipedia thriving. I am a strong open source/creative commons advocate and am grateful for persons like yourself who serve to foster the very community that allows our cause to be exemplary.

Thank you! And PLEASE keep up the hard work! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daweedo (talk • contribs) 17:04, 1 December 2006
 * Glad that you took that change in the non-personal way it was meant. I still think that what you put up would make a fine user page (hint, hint).  -- Brianhe 17:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

re-establish deleted draft for editing
Hi Brianhe, I just found your note in my spam folder after realizing that my article was deleted. In regards to the possible conflict of interest, here are some data points: Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is an international standard by the Open Group. I do work for RiskLens, who has built a solution leveraging the standard, but FAIR is an open standard that many other companies have adopted, mostly NOT in conjunction of our product. I can eliminate the reference to rislklens if that avoids any possible conflict of interest. In light of this, can you please re=establish my draft that I will resubmit to you for review with the above mentioned edit? Thank you. nicksanna Nicksanna (talk) 15:02, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Stop deleting
User:Neerawrites Please help to stop delete this page Sreedhar_TN —Preceding undated comment added 14:27, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * You made your opinion known at Articles for deletion/Sreedhar TN. Not sure what you're asking me to do here. - Brianhe (talk) 15:39, 6 October 2016 (UTC)


 * The page Sreedhar_TN seems it will be deleted, advise me to protect that page from deleting.
 * there's really one thing to do at this point: improve the article so it passes WP: Notability requirements. It's sometimes a struggle with new people to an industry like film to find things that pass the reliable source criteria, so I'll just advise you in advance that personal blogs and small websites probably will not help. Good luck and hope you enjoy contributing here, even if this particular article doesn't work out. - Brianhe (talk) 02:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Leo Burnett
Hi Bri - thanks for reaching out to me about the deletion you made.

I'm still learning this Wiki thing and maybe you can help me. I didn't add a reference to the Charlie the Tuna addition that you deleted because I had previously cited the source when I first mentioned that lovable Tuna, Charlie.

See: "Leo Burnett has created some of the most widely known advertising characters in modern culture. The Jolly Green Giant and the lonely, Maytag repairman are both inventions of Leo Burnett. Charlie the Tuna and Morris the Cat came from the creative minds at Leo Burnett. The agency started in the middle of the United States and grew by understanding the minds of middle America. [4]"

I added that piece one day and then later came back and added the section for Charlie under Clients because that's a notable client.

So, when I mention Charlie again, am I supposed to cite the same reference again? Please let me know because I was planning on going back and adding Morris the Cat, since Morris has his own Wiki and the Jolly Green Giant since Leo Burnett was the guy that turned a scowling giant caveman into the friendly Jolly Green Giant we know today.

You can let me know how you want me to do this on my talk pageNot Wilkins (talk) 14:01, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Rabiya Mateo
Hi. I just noticed that the birthdate of Rabiya Mateo is wrong. It's not January 11, 1996 as claimed by the references provided there which are not reliable such as Dreshare (the source of their articles are from Facebook).

I would like to provide references instead and I hope you would help change her birthdate from January 11, 1996 into November 14, 1996. These are the reliable references proving that she was born on November 14, 1996:

Miss USA 2020
Why did you remove the results table for Miss USA 2020? That it will announce into an elimination sequence format: Top 16 → Top 10 → Top 5 → Top 3. But a 2 runners-up and a winner will still reveal like in the past four editions. ApprenticeFan  work  04:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I do not understand your statement about the elimination format. But this is confusing to a reader as it shows an empty table. Better, I think, to wait until there is something to show. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:19, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There was something weird happening in the official Miss USA website that Wyoming's representative (pretends to be shocked) has been "changed" and considered not a fake news. Look at this and without any giving reliable sources, if you check the link of the delegate first and the bio should be there, but it became empty. This should not be truly made official. ApprenticeFan   work  15:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Afraid I still don't understand. Why don't you propose whatever you want to change on the article's talkpage? ☆ Bri (talk) 02:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Bri. Thank you for clarification. I'm new to Wikipedia so a bit confused on the uw-paid template. To clarify, I'm not being paid or affiliated with any pages I'm editing, just a fan who watched the pageants. Do I still need to add a paid template if I'm not being paid?

Tripodi
I've commented on your bit in the latest Signpost: "TRIPODI: From above: "Dr. Tropodi, a researcher at the University of North Carolina, reports that biographies of women are more likely to be nominated for deletion than similar male biographies." - not true at all. Tripodi's paper neither tested this proposition, not made any such conclusion. What Tripodi's paper was actually about was well reported in the last issue, with an excellent analysis of the statistical flaws in her conclusions." - please either correct your text, or say where you think she says this. Johnbod (talk) 14:57, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * This is virtually a direct quote from the summary of her research published by Marketplace, There are about 1.5 million biographies on Wikipedia. Only about 19% of them are about women. And those that do get published are much more likely to be targeted for deletion, compared to biographies of men. CBC similarly stated A new study by American sociologist Francesca Tripodi shows that its volunteer editors nominate women's pages on Wikipedia for deletion at a higher rate than men's pages. Maybe will tell me I missed something here, but if not, I don't particularly see a need for correction. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:51, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * So is Marketplace, whatever that is, an RS on this? It doesn't sound like it. So journalists are too lazy to get their sources correct? Hold the front page! Either the statement should be attributed to these sources, or better, it should be removed, as it isn't true. Or doesn't Signpost care about that? Johnbod (talk) 17:26, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Marketplace is a nationally syndicated, Peabody Award-winning radio program with over 10 million listeners, distributed by American Public Media. So yeah, it's a reliable source. In my book anyway. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:25, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure I got this right. If not, could you restate in layman's language (a requirement for The Signpost) what you think she said (of similar length to my statement). Wikipedia is not usually a place for "appeal to authority" but if says I got it wrong, I'll issue a correction. I don't think it will happen though.
