5 Million: We celebrate your contribution

 * Thanks so much! Gracious, it's hard to believe there are now 5,000,000 articles on Wikipedia. This could not have come at a better time. I'm kind of getting a singular lack of appreciation at a Wikia where I frequently contribute. This reassures me that there are those who can give encouragement as well as criticism, doncha know. Again, much gratitude for this, and onward and upward! :) -- ‖ Ebyabe talk -  Repel All Boarders  ‖ 18:10, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Re: Amy Acker

On her Infobox; why are children excluded is they are listed in People Magazine, especially since the Infobox person template has;


 * spouse            =
 * partner           =
 * children          =
 * parents           =
 * relatives         =

Savolya (talk) 00:31, 29 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Only notable children should be listed in the infobox. It is a privacy issue. The names should not be mentioned in bio articles either for teh same reason. -- ‖ Ebyabe talk - Attract and Repel  ‖ 18:56, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Doctor Who regeneration order
Hi. I noticed that you reverted my edits that restored the original order of the Doctor's regenerations. The list was in that order as that showed the canonical order of his regenerations in line with his personal timeline, which is what the series follows. The list also showed what number each incarnation was in the cycle as the numbers get a bit mixed due to the inclusion of the War Doctor and the two regenerations of the Tenth Doctor. Please explain your reasoning behind your edits. Thanks. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 02:19, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Not sure why I was pinged, but Nick has a point. Events that occur in-universe should be listed in chronological order as they happened in-universe (such as this), and real-life events should be listed in chronological order as they happened in real-life (e.g. a new actor taking over the lead role). This case falls under the former. Alex &#124; The &#124; Whovian  02:27, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I pinged Alex as I needed a third party to give their opinion, and from what I have seen, Alex is quite knowledgeable about Doctor Who. I will make the edits now, and if anybody has any concerns, they can return here for further discussion. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 06:04, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Fair point; I've got this page on my watch list. (I've already made the edits too. ;)) Alex &#124; The &#124; Whovian  06:13, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello
Hey Ebyabe. You made some edits on the page Lake Bluff and I find them unconstructive. Phillip Danforth Armour III is a really large part of Lake Bluff's history.

Hi sorry to bother you. i just dont understand why it doesnt say on her page in her personal life section. that shes dating actor austin stowell. not only are there pictures of them together. and kissing. but on his page here on the wikipedia. it says hes dating her. so why would it be on his page that they are dating but not hers? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.35.204 (talk • contribs) 18:04, February 9, 2016‎

Pop ups?
I think you have a virus on your computer that is causing so many links to appear. You have been reverting many edits using the excuse "using popups", admittedly I did not go through all of them, but I haven't found a single one that used any sort of script. Sure, some of them needed reverted for other reasons, but not the reason you gave. Undo if you want. Leave the reason blank if you want. But don't give bogus excuses. 2601:983:8001:3540:6483:87EC:B9B7:209B (talk) 12:08, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Hotel Kirkwood
Hello Ebyabe....my name is Kate and I the building manager at The Kirkwood. I would appreciate if you would quit deleting my edits. I am learning the process for entering information. I used Sandbox and am cutting and pasting from there. I realize some mistakes will be made but that is where I will have editors to correct needed areas. The current information on this page is out of date. This would be most appreciated. Thank-you for contacting me. Kate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Capitalcityrealty (talk • contribs) February 16, 2016

Hello E. This edit summary is a hoot since "the other users editing here" were socks of the same person. A couple article were page protected this time so that might help but that a return is likely. Thanks for your vigilance and cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 00:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Sadly I agree. We'll continue to watch. Btw, the commenter on my TARDIS wikia page apologized. After he (and an IP) deleted his initial comment and my response. I restored them, as it's my talk page there. Don't know what he is hoping to achieve. But if it's intimidation, far better have tried that and failed with me.

In case you're wondering
I maintain complete lists of all NR sites in Notepad format on my hard drive: site name and location, plus little indicators for NHLs and sites that I've photographed. Over the past year, I've slowly been adding coords to these files, and since I downloaded the data for these files several years ago, discrepancies between my lists and the current List of RHPs in Place lists allow me to check for incorrect names in the online lists.

Old time memories
Hi E. Your D84 mention brought back the following memory. Back in the late 80s I went to see Gregory de Polnay, Billie Whitelaw and another gentleman (whose name has disappeared from my memory banks) perform a series of readings at the theater on the Denver University campus.

And sign me "not as soggy as I thought in Florida". :) -- ‖ Ebyabe talk - Inspector General  ‖ 18:26, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you mean this edit diff right? That's the problem - you didn't remove it. Look at the history and the current state of the article and you'll see my confusion. (FYI Ugly Dachsund is also mentioned elsewhere in the article, so if it needs to be removed it will require an edit). --Krelnik (talk) 18:52, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, my bad. I probably hit 'rollback' instead of 'undo'. Fixed it, I think, but please feel free to check to make sure. As far as the rest, a lot of this article could be trimmed due to lack of sourcing. However, since I don't have the books used for reference, I'm not sure which is covered and which isn't. Plus this article is a favorite target of a vandal who uses different IPs and usernames. Check the edit history and you'll see what I mean. If you want to remove some of the unreferenced stuff, go for it. Cheers. -- ‖ Ebyabe talk - Attract and Repel  ‖ 19:54, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

'Appam' edits
The 'Appam' page has a lot of religious connotations which were added after the recent announcement by Google to name its upcoming Android version after an Indian delicacy. This looks like a concerted effort from a community to associate this dish (Appam in general and Neyyappam in particular) to associate it with a particular community, which is totally unacceptable. This so-called historian named Achaya make a lot of such claims that are baseless. Please don;t take that as the be-all and end-all of the food history of India. I am removing those religious connotations again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiguywho (talk • contribs) 07:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Do not remove sourced content. If you disagree with what is present, provide reliable sources to refute it. Also, discuss your changes on the article talk page, not on user pages. Continuing to remove sourced content will likely get you blocked. And if you are the IP 129.137.165.248 or associated with them, that is considered sockpuppetry and/or meatpuppetry, which can also get you blocked.
