Disambiguation link notification for November 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert D. Atkinson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bush administration (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.

Crime in Oakland, California
Hello Bryce, and thank you for your work on the Crime in Oakland page. As a criminal researcher and analyst, I am increasingly convinced that criminologist Jeremy Wilson is correct in his findings which dispute the assertion, implicit in the entire section of the article which deals with police staffing levels, that police staffing should be decided by a simple "per-capita" approach. When the section (as revised by yourself) stated that "official estimates" are that Oakland needs 1,100 police officers, it cited a fringe political activist by the name of Pine who is using an acronym, ORPN, to put forward a number based on completely imaginary factors. Please take a look at Wilson's interview here: http://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2012/cops-on-the-street-how-many-are-needed/

Thank you! Falco528 (talk) 08:19, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Why do you continue to put an extra break in the years portion of Greg Roman's infobox? When you do that the years do not matchup correctly with the coaching positions to their right.

Oakland Police/ORPN
Brycehughes, I understand that you want the article to remain as it was before I researched ORPN and its allegations (1,100 figure, "half a police department," etc. The fact is that ORPN is an acronym taken by one man who is a former (failed) political candidate in the city.  By removing my original research which places ORPN's ideas in context, you are again obscuring the source of these quotes and removing much more balanced and objective data.  Please understand that this issue matters, that the highest level criminologists at top universities do not agree as to the statistical relationship between police staffing and crime rates, and, most importantly, that these non-cited estimates belong to a former political candidate who does not cite any reputable sources.  I will revert the article to my August 31 balanced version unless you can provide alternative evidence that supports ORPN's conclusions. Thank You.

Falco
 * No, don't do that. We need to come to a consensus. Take it to the article's talk page. There's a discussion there. Brycehughes (talk) 18:58, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Brycehughes,

Thank You. Done.

My edits
I should've left an edit summary, and I will next time. His edit was just a change of words - it was well worded to begin with, so I don't understand why he would even reword it in such a way as he did. Plus that particular article is nominated for GA status and I believe should be left alone for now until a reviewer takes on the challenge. --DendroNaja (talk) 20:57, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

Addicted to Noise
Hi Bryce, Your addition to the Addicted To Noise page on Oct 18 is great. I'm really pleased. Regarding my addition last night. If you go to this page: http://web.archive.org/web/20000815064446/http://www.addict.com/issues/archive/ and you will see a listing for an article by William Gibson and if you click on 1995 (upper left) and scroll down and link on issue # 1.12 (the Frank Kozik story) and then scroll to the bottom and click on the 3rd icon from the right (contents) you will see articles and columns for that issue. You'll see that there were pieces by Greil Marcus, Dave Marsh, David Was, Billy Altman, Roy Trakin, R. Meltzer and other name critics. Then if you click on 44.1 (it's in the contents) you will get a page of album review links with reviews by Deborah Frost, Chris Morris and others. If you go to issue 1.09 and get to the table of contenst and click on staff you'll see Lenny Kaye and some of the other writers. If you go to issue 2.09 and click on the table of congtenst link on the bottom of one of the articles and then in the hype section click on staff you will see Joey Ramone listed as a contributor. I hope that provides what you need. Thanks, Neumu1 (talk) 16:26, 20 October 2013 (UTC) Neumu1 (talk) 04:22, 21 October 2013 (UTC)   Michael

Many thanks User:Brycehughes
Truly appreciate your help, when does a discussion on the Roger W. Jones Award for Executive Leadership close? WashD101 (talk) 01:50, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Basically, once they reach a "consensus." It's a royal pain in the rear and can take forever. Sorry about that. Honestly though, I don't have a lot of experience with extended consensus building, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. There's some reading material here, but assuming you can't be bothered reading all that, you can pose the question to WP:HELPDESK or WP:TEAHOUSE – they're good at answering. Anyway, I hope this doesn't discourage you from editing, because judging by Roger W. Jones, you're very good at it! Brycehughes (talk) 05:03, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks again Brycehughes, here's to ideally trying to build extended consensus since it seems like it shouldn't be that hard a effort to reach some compromise on? Wishing you a great day! WashD101 (talk) 03:06, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * For now, I'd say just WP:CHILL. It'll work itself out, and it'll either go the way you want or it won't. Maybe work on something else that interests you? In any case, it's best not to expect a quick resolution to anything around here... and, personally, I find the protracted back-and-forth discussions exhausting! Save your energy for the fun stuff like editing, I say. Best of luck, Brycehughes (talk) 06:29, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Sulfurboy. Brycehughes, thanks for creating List of botanical gardens and arboretums in Hawaii!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. 2

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Sulfurboy (talk) 02:36, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Your edit to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents
Hi Bryce. I've taken care of your ANI request, but in the future please don't post edits needing suppression on public pages such as ANI (there's actually a giant red box saying that that opens when you edit ANI, but a lot of people don't notice it). If you come across edits containing private information in the future, please direct them straight to the Oversight Team, privately, via email or IRC. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 18:01, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Then I assume the link in the second paragraph at Personal information needs to be changed from WP:ANI, correct? Brycehughes (talk) 18:12, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Huh. I've never seen that essay (essays aren't policy, for what that's worth) before. It's definitely not reflective of how things are done, in more ways than one. Do you mind if I ask how you came across that page in the process of hunting up what to do? I might need to go correct some backlinks. ETA: I notified the oversight team that we had an essay giving bad information, and we've redirected it now to a page that gives correct info. Hopefully this helps prevents crossed wires in the future! A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 18:21, 23 January 2014 (UTC) updated 18:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It was the second link for me in this Google search. I know it's not policy, but figured it was sufficient for simply telling me where to go. Brycehughes (talk) 18:47, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, the redirect should take care of google results, I think. Thanks! A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 19:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * One more thing: I notice the "Are you in the right place?" at the top of WP:ANI defaults to hidden. Y'all might want to change its default to show. Brycehughes (talk) 21:44, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Alta Vista Gardens
Hi Brycehughes,

What do you have against Alta Vista Botanical Gardens? The Wikipedia Page for AVBG is woefully slim and every time I try to flesh it out, you whack it back to nothing with no explanation. This is not an insubstantial project. It has the largest collection of public Art inside the City of Vista, is operated by an all volunteer staff, is funded by membership and donations and admission is virtually free ($2). I only posted stuff that I own the copyright to and I have already supplied a release to Wikipedia back in 2009. Please respond. Feldmoves.
 * Oh, please. You think I have something against a garden? I have something against your edits. I responded on the article's talk page. Brycehughes (talk) 03:20, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

IBM BLU Acceleration
Hi Bryce,

I wanted to address your comment about my article on IBM BLU Acceleration - Primary contributor appears closely affiliated with organization "International DB2 User's Group"

Although I have presented at numerous "International DB2 User's Group" conferences, I have never held any position in that organization, nor have I served on any of that organization's committees. Back in 1991, I began using DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows and over the years, I have become a subject matter expert on DB2 and have written numerous articles and 22 books on this relational database product. Because of this, I am frequently asked to present at IDUG conferences, and only do so when my employer approves of my participation.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Explosion and fire
Hi Bryce - I don't think that including both explosion and fire in the section headings at Chevron Richmond Refinery is redundant. In both instances, there were both significant explosions and a significant fire. Explosions are different than fires, and both are significant. I'll suggest to Jem (they are a student of mine or I would add it myself - think I'll be seeing them later today,) that they should include info explicitly pointing out that there were significant explosions and a significant fire in both instances.

Expedia
Hi Bryce,

I have seen your work on Wikipedia and your copy-editing skills are spot on and very accurate. I would like to ask you if you could make edits to the page of Expedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expedia), as there is some information missing from the page. Would you be willing to make edits to the page so that it's complete? The main areas that I think needs more information are the infobox on the top right, and external links.

To be specific, I think the infobox at top right needs more information, and fields more in line with other global travel brands like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago or and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia. The infobox also needs to change URLs to be within 'website' (at the bottom) rather than 'Web address' (at the top), and it needs to include links to Expedia ccTLD: US, CA, UK, AU & NZ (in that order) in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trivago In regards to external Links, I think it should link to Expedia ccTLD in the same shape as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TripAdvisor with the same links as on #3.

Let me know, I would highly appreciate your assistance in this matter.

 * Hi, I reverted your edit because you deleted the article's list of references and did not explain why. I assume you didn't mean to do this. Editing for the first time can be a bit confusing.
