Request to move article Jonathan Plowman Jr. incomplete
You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Jonathan Plowman Jr. to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:


 * 1) Added    at the top of the talk page of the page you want moved, replacing "NewName" with the new name for the article.  This creates the required template for you there.
 * 2) Added a place for discussion at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. This can easily be accomplished by adding  NewName  to the bottom of the page, which will automatically create a discussion section there.
 * 3) Added  PageName  to the top of today's section here.

If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR (talk) 15:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent reverts you made: You may already know about them, but you might find Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. When you go along just reverting vandalism, the failure to place a warning on their talk page does nothing to get them blocked. Edison (talk) 19:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Maybe you check first the existing references on a page before deciding that something is vandalism? Otherwise you are the vandal. --Tauʻolunga (talk) 07:26, 3 February 2010 (UTC) http://atenisi.edu.to/latest/latest.html#mate
 * You didn't cite a reference on the page, that's the whole point. Removing unsourced death information from the biography of a living person is not vandalism. See WP:GRAPEVINE. I find it strange that you add a specific link on my talk page, but you can't be bothered to cite the same link in the article.--GcSwRhIc (talk) 12:57, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Tim Robbins's Birth Year
Hi, I reverted your source change for the birth year and pointed you to a discussion about using ancestry.com. Not only is it not reliable, many users, of course, can't really use it without paying money. Also, although I couldn't fit it in to the explanation, look at other cited sources in the article that question whether the birth year is 1958 or 1959. I agree with you that it should remain 1958, but you'd have to find a better source for it.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I think you misread the discussion of Ancestry as a reliable source. The discussion centers around using the generic home page as a source or user generated content. I referenced a specific database at Ancestry. While it's true that Ancestry is a pay service, It is available for free to millions at their public libraries. The California Birth Index itself is an extremely reliable source. GcSwRhIc (talk) 01:45, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Greets:

I noticed your edit on the discussion page for 168.215.131.150. Please see my request just above it for a prem block for that IP address. Not sure what the procedure is but most if not all the edits in the past made have been vandalism and there's no way to prevent this unless we require for to have accounts. Not sure what the procedure is for that but I;ve noticed it elsewhere done for troublsome ip addresses. I;m assuming your discussion edit is a copy and paste and you didn;t noticed the very long page about the previous problems.

Double warnings?
Hi! I am curious about this edit. Why did you give the anon an additional warning when they had not made any edits since your previous warning? Perhaps I missed something? Thanks! &mdash;Elipongo (Talk contribs) 18:09, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Not something I usually do and was not intentional. I usually patrol using WP CVN, and I open about 50 tabs in succession. In this case I didn't realize that the Medieval Times edit occurred after the Dwayne Johnson edit. GcSwRhIc (talk) 18:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Iona Skye
I am curious as to why you undid the LGBT parents category I had added to this page, saying that this information was not referenced in the text. It clearly is. See references 7 and 12 and please revert your alteration if satisfied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.61.79.254 (talk) 15:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)


 * This is a biography of of living person. Source 7 is of extremely dubious reliability and does not even state that Skye is a lesbian only that after her divorce she had a relationship with another woman. Find me a reliable source that states Skye is a lesbian and I'll revert it. GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:22, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

David Fairchild
Sir - You recently added Public Welfare Medal with a citation to this article. Then you added Category:National Academy of Sciences laureates. Does the Public Welfare Medal imply being a laureate of the National Academy of Sciences? I looked through their website and found no mention of Fairchild.GroveGuy (talk) 10:30, 18 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes. if you go directly to cited link for the Public Welfare Medal and scroll down you'll see:

User:141.70.82.221 - Saraikistan Movement
Hi GcSwRhIc,

As you have had involvement with this IP address: User talk:141.70.82.221 over the past few days, I am hoping that you might review what I see as the latest piece of annoying vandalism. I am a little cagey about reverting because of my work on this article that came up on the Special Pages today – possible NPOV on my part. The article is Saraikistan Movement, a stub with a ref that I thought might be worth a helping hand. I had to copy/edit hone down and add cats, stubs and links, but I think its worth developing. User:141.70.82.221’s hit and run took off information that was verified in the cite. I would have normally shrugged this one off but I see that this user IP has been vandalising other articles. Is it time to put a stop? – I’ll leave it up to your good judgement. Best wishes, Acabashi (talk) 21:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

March 15 2011
Thanks for your opinion on my edit re; 2011 Sendai Earthquake, although I did specifically state, in face of the unusual request, allegedly by Japan, and reiterated by the UN spokeswoman that "only a handful" of rescue teams from specific nations were requested by Japan, in what may be considered a denial, or I should say, lack of awareness to the seriousness of the disastrous situation. I think all users are aware how Japan can in fact use all the help it can get under the actual circumstances. 66.214.170.230 (talk) 13:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I understand your desire to maintain "Japan's specific request", as odd and unusual as it is, in the "International response" section of the 2011 Sendai earthquake article, but it simply is not an "International response", but a domestic one, and will therefore be removed from this section. Thanks for you understanding and passion to police this article for edits you may not agree with.66.214.170.230 (talk) 14:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * If they're requesting aid from other nations, then yes that is part of the international response. GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:25, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Even though this is Wikipedia, "free speech" medium, please maintain logic in regards to what is "International response". Japan's request for something is merely Japan's governmental response to the impeding crisis. For Australia, China, South Korea, etc, to commit manpower and relief supplies, is considered international response. 66.214.170.230 (talk) 14:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The request by Japan define some of the international response that will occur which is why it is relevant. GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:43, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry to butt in - I followed the trail from a recent edit by 66.24.170.230. I have to agree with GcSwRhIc here.  Requesting international assistance leads to receiving international assistance which is part of the international response.  Also, 66.24.170.230 seems a bit worked up over this passage.  It's just a few words. --  ke4roh (talk) 14:55, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Agree as well, followed the same trail, the wording was fine and we have consensus to keep it. If 66.24.170.230 doesn't like it, 66.24.170.230 can bring it up on the talk page instead of reverting several different people repeatedly. –flodded ☃ (gripe)  15:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hopefully 66.24.170.230 will bring it to the talk page, though I'm not sure 66.24.170.230 will agree with consensus.GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:03, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

 * The edit summary doesn't mention a source and more importantly the edit you made has no source. Also disambiguation pages shouldn't contain that sort of info see isambiguation dos and don'ts. GcSwRhIc (talk) 00:17, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Kris Humphries
How is what I am doing vandalism? I suspect that some of the editors whose work I edited are sockpuppets of user -Ril-, who has been banned indefinitely for being the user CheeseDreams reincarnate - and in one case I am more than convinced of this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiehardNFFLbarnone (talk • contribs) 22:20, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * In my book adding "he was trash" to an article is vandalism. GcSwRhIc (talk) 22:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Run a checkuser on user Zagalejo and you will see what I am talking about. I have not looked at all edits on the article "Kris Humphries" and other articles with which this user has been involved, but I believe that he started editing right around the time that user -Ril- was blocked.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DiehardNFFLbarnone (talk • contribs) 22:50, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * First my concern is not with Zagalejo, it's with the edit you made. Zagalejo has made 45,000 edits and has rollback and reviewer rights. I doubt very much if he/she is a sock puppet. Oh and please comments go at the bottom of someone's user page and sign your name with four tildes. It's all part of being a good wikipedian. GcSwRhIc (talk) 23:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Under arbitration cases, you will see that there are a number of adminstrators who have been sanctioned for abusive sockpuppetry or other inappropriate actions, and I strongly suspect that Zagalejo may be among them because of his writing style - which is suspiciously like that of the blocked user -Ril-. --DiehardNFFLbarnone (talk) 23:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Once more that's not the issue your edit was the issue which still have not explained. GcSwRhIc (talk) 23:26, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I will explain the edit by saying that the article would not be considered neutral without the information that I reinserted into it. --DiehardNFFLbarnone (talk) 23:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Writing that someone is trash is not neutral. It's defamatory. GcSwRhIc (talk) 23:34, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Not in the context in which I inserted the information. --DiehardNFFLbarnone (talk) 23:39, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Calling someone trash in any context is clearly defamatory.— Chris! c / t 23:45, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

History of the Port of Southampton
Your response was a wee bit precipitate and also inaccurate. You made an assumption without first inquiring as to the facts. You ASSUMED original research, which it is NOT. That comment was culled from local newspapers of recent times, and is widely accepted as truthful by Southampton people. Including those like myself from who's front door can see the school referred to, and is not a half-mile from where Titanic sailed. I'll inquire about the precise location of the newspaper reference. Meanwhile, a less confrontational and a more co-operative tone is recommended. 86.162.56.164 (talk) 10:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I apologize if was not original research, the edit was still unsourced and a source is needed. Verifiability is an essential cornerstone of Wikipedia. GcSwRhIc (talk) 13:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The reference is Titanic Voices by Donald Hyslop et al. Published by Southampton City Council, 1994. I take it you have no objection to reinstatement. 86.162.56.164 (talk) 13:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * No certainly. A page number or numbers would help to avoid another editor from adding a page number missing tag. A quick search shows the ISBN number(ISBN 0 7509 1436 X) which should also be included. Template:Cite book would be good. Insert inside  GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Vasaryova
Your editing manners are no doubt pretty rude. As I have still been working on building the article of the leading slovak actress (see template Under Construction), you may rather contribute to Wikipedia by creating your own articles than changing the ones of which language you don't likely understand. If I am wrong, then plz help by adding new relevant sources. If all you were asking for was to make people leave you alone, then I can do you the favor. Uzerakount (talk) 15:45, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Please point out a particular edit that you didn't like. Under construction means everyone can help. The version before my edits contained a lot of peacock words. There were also grammatical errors. I also made changes which made the article better conform to other biographies. It's great that you are working on the article but everyone can contribute. GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, yes, I know the awards should be listed in Awards section, just was not in the mood yesterday to summarize them all. I am almost done with the article as I need to work on my book. Might will add just a few more bio details to make it so-so "balanced". Btw, I don't mind about those templates nominated for deletion. When I have a time, I will make a template only for Vasaryova herself in addition. Be well. Uzerakount (talk) 07:57, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Margarita Engle
I submitted an edit to Margarita Engle article on 4/1/11 at the request of Engle herself -- Just realized this morning that the updated article was reverted (I think by you) back to the old one.

Can I submit the edit again? Some of the items on the old article are no longer current (like the poetseers site or the CalPoly info). What do I need to do to make sure that the new update stays?

Thanks... Mrianto (talk) 16:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC)mrianto


 * I know it was you first edit. I looked at the changes for several minutes before reverting. Try one edit a time rather than one edit at once. Start with the lead. Don't remove other occupations like botanist if she has been one. Don't put the before Cuban-American as she is one of a group. Then move to a biography section. Then update the Bibliography section. Remember to preview your edits and please use the edit summary box. Good luck. GcSwRhIc (talk) 16:38, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I submit few more edits, one at a time, per section -- as you suggested, and put comments on the edit summary box. Thanks for the guide. Hopefully I sort of did it somewhat right this time. Thanks... Mrianto (talk) 00:03, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Alexis Carrel
In regards to your undo and comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dbgoodman):

It is detailed in depth in the sources at the bottom of the article and further sources are given for this in the text in specific sections. You will also notice that his Nobel Prize in Physiology has no citation in the summary section, as it is detailed below in its own section in the main text. For good measure, I found two additional sources and put them after the sentence, though it looks odd to have now three citations to follow this broad summary sentence.

Rather than deleting my addition, it would have been just as easy for you to read the article to see that there were several references to his collaborationism and eugenics work for Vichy France in the main text that were all properly cited. This is a major part of his legacy, and thus I felt that it was important that it be mentioned in his introductory blurb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbgoodman (talk • contribs) 15:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)


 * That is incorrect the were no mentions of collaboration with the Vichy Government or the Nazis until you introduced them. Collaboration is a very weighted word. The article discusses his sympathy to Nazi eugenic ideas, but that's a lot different than collaboration. GcSwRhIc (talk) 15:22, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

Emmy Rossum
I reverted the page back. I have a feeling that you are taking an interest in my posts. I am not malicious, but like some people are interested in cars, boats, and such I am interested in making sure Jewish people are properly identified. This is not a crime nor is it in violation of wiki rules. Background of people is important and I make sure that it is known, at least for this particular group. I am doing a service.

As to Rossum, she is Jewish. If you yourself are not Jewish then I would have you ask your Jewish friends (if you have any) to confirm that the only requirement, for sure, to be a Jew is a Jewish mother. Whether she practices or not is not the question; or even self identifies. In Jewish culture she would have to forever renounce her Jew and excommunicate herself from her people. Jews as a group can excommunicate individuals but this is very, very rare. The most notable example in Western eyes would be Spinoza. So my point is YOU would have to CITE or REFERENCE that event, the event of her renunciation. It is your burden, not mine. I simply "enhanced" her page with the already included fact that her mother was a Jew and therefore she is a Jew.GegenIsrael (talk) 19:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)


 * That may be how you feel as a Jew, but Wikipedia policy on Biographies of living persons is clear the subject "must self identify" their religion.

Jennifer_Lawrence
Hello. Could you please explain your rationale for removing The Hunger Games from this article? Is there an RFC or some other community consensus on pre-production films in the filmography table? WP:CRYSTAL is clearly not it. WP:CRYSTAL is about unverifiable speculation. There are plenty of news sources that confirm Jennifer Lawrence, including IMDB, as seen on The Hunger Games article. It isn't speculation and has enough sources to meet WP:GNG. Thanks.--v/r - TP 00:28, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes there is an accepted consensus that that preproduction films are excluded. WP:CRYSTAL does apply under the first condition "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented." Because is no film yet it is by definition not part of a filmography. Many things can happen which can preclude an actor from getting to the filming stage which why mention of an upcoming preproduction film is kept to the main body. As in "Actor x is set to star as John Doe in the upcoming Return of Y." GcSwRhIc (talk) 05:15, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

academic notablity
O, I definitely read the notablity guidelines before adding the tag alright, how do you think I found the tag in the first place? Realize that all those I tagged are basically resumes copied from their department pages - probably made by overzealous editors who needed extra edit count for their ego or the person in question themselves. You do realize there are literally MILLIONS of academics who could be added by the flimsy requirement of a few journal citations or "o this person is a professor and has a resume online" - which as I read the guidelines again I do not find. Just for being a professor at a university is clearly not enough for notablity. You know what - wikipedia sucks - it has special interest articles everywhere such as every random village or constellation in some database - clearly made by zealous people after edit count...but no article on a major mountain that sits across 2 states. And when you try to help by pointing out a few academics who clearly don't deserve an article in an encylopedia, you get ganged up by people just because you're an "IP editor" and that somehow makes you inferior.

Astrology Signs

 * Personally I don't think it's ever appropriate. Anyone interested in Astrology can figure out the sign. Additionally there are different types of Astrology. Some people follow Tropical astrology and some follow Sidereal astrology. The general consensus is that it's trivial. The only possible time is when properly sourced the individual in question states that the believe in astrology. See archived discussions below:

Regarding the Marion Cotillard filmography
Thanks for informing me regarding the particulars of editing filmographies. I understand that the movie I listed Ms. Cotillard in is yet to be released, however, she has signed on for the film and if it is a matter of verification the notes already exist within the page (I didn't want to rewrite the same note). If the matter is regarding the film's release, then I urge you to look at the myriad of wikipedia articles that have listed forthcoming projects in the same manner as I had done so. A few examples are in the pages of Cobie Smulders (actress), the Batman film series, Christopher Nolan (director), and Christian Bale (actor). I hope this clarifies everything. If you still feel that the addition was improper, do keep it as it is. However, should the policies of wikipedia allow for the original change, I would appreciate it to be returned for the benefit of the article.

Thanks! But who knows how long the change will last?! If you are really interested in official records, look at Taio Cruz. He was born in 1980 according to official records, but nobody believes it. They also don't want to believe his Nigerian birth name, also available in official records. See his discussion page. All the articles about him shave off several years.

 * I didn't warn in that instance, but it is incorrect to say I don't warn. I've made about 3500 User talk edits over 90% are warnings. I'm also not sure what you mean about explain it in the edit summary. The Deidre Donnelly edit had an explanation. Twinkle is a vandalism tool but not vandalism only which is why there is a revert good faith option.

Niels Bohr
To the editor of the Niels Bohr page

You have several times told me I am vandalising ? the page about Niels Bohr

Because I put accurate informantion in it: About af few points I have investigated - by reading the note nr. 6: About Niels Bohrs meeting with Roosevelt in august 1944 and with Churchill maj 1944. And read about the same topic in Robert Jungk's book "Brighter than a thousand Suns" (published first 1956) page 160.

I have also read note 20 - all Bohrs notes after the war about his meeting with Heisenberg in 1941 (released by his son Aage Bohr) and Michael Frayn's postscript about the same meeting in the latest edition of his play "Copenhagen". (First published 1998). And Heisenberg's letter about the same meeting printed in Jungk's book page 100.

And I have written theese sources many times as comments, to describe why I did the editing? And still I am attacked again and again for vandalising the page? Even when I just use those common sources and notes - used and placed allready at the page??

I believe facts are facts. And it is only possible to edit and change the text after the use of such reliable documents, as I mention here?

Why do you then again and again attack for me for vandalising the page?

I am a new costumer - and highly surprised of this manner?

 * Not a single comment on your talk page mentions vandalism. I gave you a welcome notice pointing out the importance and need for properly sourcing content. Citations DO NOT go in comments. I was hoping you would review the links in that notice and familiarize yourself with sourcing. You then added an unsourced sentence about Gestapo surveillance. It could have been deleted as unsourced. Instead I placed a citation needed template which you improperly removed and removed references from another section. I then commented to about removal of templates. You have continued to add content without a single verifiable source. If you read the links in the welcome notice, you would be familiar with how to cite sources and we wouldn't be in this situation. If you care about this article, please read Citing sources. It's a small step to insure the verifiability for all readers. GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:26, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * To the editor of the Niels Bohr page


 * I have made the same changes several times on the page - referring to the same documents: Heisenbergs and Bohrs own notes about the meeting in 1941 and Frayns description based on the collected material - but Wikepedia change back to false information - Why?


 * Yours Viggoodin - Denmark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viggoodin (talk • contribs) 14:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It keeps getting reverted because you keep ignoring any comments about proper sources. Please read all my notices carefully, then go to the links. You don't want to get blocked. So step back, review how to cite sources. Take your time. It's more important to get the edit right than to charge in and keep readding edits that have been reverted. GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your answers.

I am sure you do good work in Wikepedia.

As a new costumer, I am quite unfamiliar with all procedures, but I could read it is possible directly to change and edit texts with credible information.

I have now put many comments on my changes - about 10-15 times - and refer to sources allready named at the page!

I have even mastered to put in several referings to sources - even I dount understand the technic!

Very often informations om Wikepedia are not sourced!

But writing in one place: Bohr and Heisenberg never left written information about the meeting in 1941! - and then among the notes refer to Bohrs notes about exacly that meeting released in 2002 and Heisenbergs letter in 1955 to Jungk (about this meeting) printed on page 100 in his book - is clearly necessary to change!

I have researched all my edits properly before I edited anything.

And named all my sources many times in the comments - see history!!

I understand this type of conflicts are the conditions in Wikepedia - and I like the project.

And hope my edits now stay in the texts. Or we must discuss it further.

After all - my sources are named quite clear - and given several times in my comments?

So what's wrong? I dount get it?

Nice you do editing anyway. Thanks! But do it rightly!

Yours sincerely

Speedy deletion declined: Eshraf Heybetov
Hello GcSwRhIc. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Eshraf Heybetov, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: speedy WP:CSD expressly excludes "coherent non-English material.". It is only intended for the likes of "'*gqX$$$@#w#rt3456?>%!" or "Yaaaaayyyy LOL!!!!" Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:11, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I misread it. My eyes played tricks and I thought it read includes not excludes. Thanks. GcSwRhIc (talk) 20:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * No worries. Just sometimes, foreign-language articles can be translated to something useful. There is a "holding page" at WP:PNT where they are listed to see if anyone can do something with them. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

Bruce Alberts page revisions
Hi,

I am Bruce Alberts' assistant, Yolanda O'Bannon and I am attempting to update his page per his request. Please do not undo my work -- I don't have time to redo! See Bruce's website to confirm who I am.

http://biochemistry.ucsf.edu/labs/alberts/contacts.html

Best, Yolanda O'Bannon


 * Yolanda, if you are Bruce Alberts assistant, then it would appear you have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Content should be neutral and reliably sourced. I'm sorry you don't have time to redo but if you edit without sourcing and do not not maintain a neutral tone, your edits are likely to be reverted. Pleas also use an edit summary which allows other editors to understand your edits. Thank you and happy editing. GcSwRhIc (talk) 20:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Bruce Alberts edits
Hi, Thanks for your assistance. I did not understand your instructions for getting the potential edits reviewed, so I have made some changes to the top part of Bruce's page and ask you to review them now. I understand that there would be concerns for COI, but I don't believe an impartial observer would think I am overstating anything. At any rate, I have left off "prominent" etc. Please have a look and let me know.

 * Yolanda I rearranged the text to follow WP:OPENPARAGRAPH. Nationality, what he is followed by why he is notable. Science editor and envoy should then follow as his current status. It's a little complicated at first but the goal is to have a consistent encyclopedic style starting with the lede to quickly establish who the person is and why they are notable. I can't encourage you enough to use edit summaries first to help other editors, but at least for myself it forces me to think about the edit and why I have done it.

 * I can't as I'm not an administrator, but I filed a request at Administrator intervention against vandalism. In the future if you have someone who continues to vandalize or violate BLP after a level 4 warning, an AIV request should be made. If you find yourself reverting a lot of vandalism, you might consider using Twinkle. I would read up about it, but it certainly makes fighting vandalism easier and has an AIV option.

The change I had made to Robert Downey Jr.
Hi, I just saw what you wrote about the change I had made to the page for Robert Downey Jr. It wasn't something I did without reason. I had just watched the show about him on the Biography Channel and that was where I got the information and removed the "the" from the quote. And as far as removing the space, I did that since gunmetal is one word, not two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.184.147 (talk) 04:32, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * You need to cite a reliable source for your addition. People often don't speak with correct grammar. The current article source indicates "the gun metal". If you have a source that has a different quote, then it needs to be cited. Unfortunately, just saying the Biography Channel is not good enough. The source needs to be verifiable, just as I was was able to verify the current quote before I reverted yours. If want to know how to cite, see Citing sources. Cheers, GcSwRhIc (talk) 11:54, 13 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand the grammar issue, but gunmetal is one word. It's not something that was ever written, it was only spoken, therefore it should be spelled correctly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thanatopsy (talk • contribs) 05:47, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Except that people make mistakes with spoken language as well, including speaking a single word as two distinct words. This is why you need to cite a reliable source for your changes. GcSwRhIc (talk) 14:25, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Continuation of our talk of last night
If you go to my User talk page, you will find, besides a list of BLPs that I had to drop everything to hunt up sources for, several "Proposed deletions." Generally, I was able to save the articles, although the most recent one did not get saved, and was replaced by a redirect to Dinah Shore. So as I was telling you last night, it's not just the actual deletes of my articles that have gotten to me; it's the threats to delete which mean I have to stop whatever I'm doing on Wikipedia and devote my energy to defending the article from deletion. -- BRG (talk) 11:17, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
