Edit that I made that was not allowed
Not sure which one it was, probably the one where I wrote "check your resources". I am an architectural historian and I have found COUNTLESS mistakes on Wikepedia architecture pages. I'm sick of even thinking to check wiki at all because at least 50% of the time there is horribly incorrect information. How dare they call this an encyclopedia when half the time people don't check their facts - I was able to do just a few minutes of research on several articles that were wrong and found the correct information. Check your facts! A good friend of mine is a college professor and when she has students write papers that have to include at least 3 sources she tells them "and Wikipedia cannot be one of them". I've not only found incorrect information, I've found misspellings, horrible sentence structure, and on bios, not even the right person to go with facts! No one is watching what's being put up or obviously checking it for factual information. I won't attempt to fix one of your stupid articles again - I'll just check somewhere else. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.227.34.122 (talk) 22:17, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

4th GA Cup - Round 2

Edward C Meyer incorrect information
Here is your incorrect information: Howard Hughes was involved in a near-fatal aircraft accident on July 7, 1946, while performing the first flight of the prototype U.S. Army Air Forces reconnaissance aircraft, the XF-11, near Hughes airfield at Culver City, California. When the XF-11 finally came to a halt after destroying three houses, the fuel tanks exploded, setting fire to the aircraft and a nearby home at 808 North Whittier Drive, owned by Edward C. Meyer. (From the Edward C. Meyer wiki page) By the way, Edward would have been approx. 18 at the time, he probably didn't own any house and this was not his family home.

Here is the CORRECT information - check your RESOURCES!!!!

From the Los Angeles Times Newspaper, 1946

Firemen view damage in vicinity of Lt. Col. Charles A. Meyer's home, which was destroyed by blaze resulting from Howard Hughes plane crash. Towering flames at left are from break in natural gas outlet in the Meyer kitchen. At right, tail section of the FX-11 plane, parts of which hit four different houses.

I check my facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.227.34.122 (talk) 22:51, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

Putting edit count stats on RfA talk pages
Just wanted to say thanks for going and putting those edit count statistics on the three current RfAs! It makes it a whole lot easier to do studies on RfA statistics. Enterprisey (talk!) 02:17, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
