April O'Neil move?

 * You moved an article from a disambiguator of (pornographic actress) to the more simple (actress) and said in your edit summary that there was an agreement at April O'Neil (actress) but I don't see any discussion in the edit summaries there or on the talk page. Could you better explain that?  Thanks, Dismas |(talk) 19:54, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. This edit summary makes a lot of sense; in that case, there is no mainstream actress named April O'Neil to disambiguate from.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 07:02, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

American pornographic film actors of Thai descent and related categories

 * Hi. I just noticed the creation of Category:American pornographic film actors of Thai descent, and was wondering if this is an appropriate categorisation scheme. Several similar categories were previously deleted because they were deemed to be non-notable intersections by ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. --Paul_012 (talk) 21:44, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware of that guideline or that CfD, but both of those seem to contradict Category:American pornographic film actors of Asian descent (for example) and its subcategories. I wouldn't lose sleep or anything if this cat was upmerged, but it gets a little frustrating when there are guidelines that contradict other guidelines.

Adding contentious material

 * The burden of proof lies on the editor who adds the material. The issue of real names of pornographic actors is contentious enough that it requires exceptional sources. The fact that multiple users have disputed the reliability of IBT guides us to err on the side of omission. Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:17, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have already done my part. If you think a consensus had been reached that IBT is unreliable, the burden is on you to prove such (it appears that the discussion had simply been archived without having reached a clear consensus). Anyway, since for some reason you didn't take my suggestion to start a new RSN thread, I started one myself.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 00:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Removing My Edit
RE Erpert. If you had looked closely at the edit summery in the Brandy Clark history you would have noticed that I wrote clearly "Removed superfluous entry" for the exceedingly superfluous and un-encyclopedic nonsense which read: "Personal Life, Clark is gay," prior to my change. It could have said something like: "Clark wears jeans," or "Clark uses butter," or anything equally ridiculous, but the fact of the matter is the entry was superfluous, it didn't belong in the article, and I had in-fact explained the edit most appropriately. I don't think I need to write a PhD thesis about what I did; a very short down-and-dirty concise one line explanation is all I need, or have time to include. I'm also not going to go into Talk and write a treatise about why I chose to do this or why I'm here on Earth or what else can dribble from my brain for no reason. If you want to write a James Michener book for each edit you do you can go ahead; it's your life, feel free. But if others choose not to drone on for days about their edits don't criticize them. However, please do check your facts before you accuse others of NOT providing an explanation because that certainly was not the case here.99.32.160.175 (talk) 03:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

IP

 * Thank you for informing people on the Noticeboard about the situation. Although I am not an admin, I have given the IP a cookie to promote Wiki Lovw and Peace. But I have run into some difficultes with it. Do you know how I can remove the stuff? AcidSnow (talk) 02:45, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * What "stuff" are you trying to remove?  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 03:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * In the middle of it, it states {{subst:if||| {{{message}}} ||subst=subst:}. AcidSnow (talk) 03:23, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. Try asking for assistance at WP:HD.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 03:47, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

unreliable sources question

 * Hi Erpert, I was hoping you could let me know why you flagged the BriaAndChrissy article as having unreliable sources on 10 Feb 2014. Which sources were you concerned with? I'd like to fix any problems but I don't know what the issue is. Thank you.Dawneyestone (talk) 16:37, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm a little skeptical about http://www.famousbirthdays.com. I would suggest bringing it up at WP:RSN (if you don't, I will be happy to do so a little later today).  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 18:35, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I started a thread at WP:BLPN instead.  Erpert  blah, blah, blah... 02:03, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the response. The individuals state their own birthdays via YouTube videos and they match the famous birthdays website so I can confirm the dates for that page. As for the reliability of the site itself generally--I don't know. I'll add that to your other thread.Dawneyestone (talk) 02:45, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
