John Sevier
I'm going to overhaul this article shortly (I added a new lede and expanded the infobox a few weeks ago). Is there a particular section of this article you might be interested in expanding? If not, I'll get started on the whole thing. Bms4880 (talk) 19:55, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Go for it. GenQuest (talk) 14:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Just checking some dates: Sevier was given the rank of captain by Lord Dunmore in 1774; lieutenant-colonel in Washington County militia (by North Carolina) in 1777, colonel commandant in 1781.  Does this sound correct?  Bms4880 (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Some of that sounds about right. I just moved to a new city and state, books and everything else still in boxes.  Got the internet connected 30 minutes ago. Go with what you have and if necessary change later.GenQuest (talk) 01:53, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Our edit dispute at Lookout Mounatin
You reverted my edit as "unconstructive". Can you confirm that you are happy with the contents of Lookout_Mountain? The claim that the 7 states claim has not been proved scientifically can be referenced at, and the sign distance errors can easily be verified using Google Earth. Why is it unconstructive to point them out? Viewfinder (talk) 21:59, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The picture caption is not the place to state or expand upon the dated claim of the marker as to the ability to see seven states from that spot. The body of the article addresses that issue. The caption is a simple statement of fact regarding the marker (hence the word "claims" in the caption).


 * They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and many visitors, myself included, often look at page pictures, and by extension captions, without reading article bodies. It follows that incorrect picture claims proliferate misinformation, and that it is in order for us at Wikipedia to use captions to challenge such claims. If you persist with your view that it is not, can you point to guidelines in support of your position? If not, I think that we should ask for guidelines. Re this Lookout image, it would be sufficient for the single word "dated" to precede the word "claims", but I still think that the caption should include words "understated distances". Viewfinder (talk) 10:13, 1 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I added "wrongfully claims". That succinctly addresses the issue, I think, with out over-burdening the caption with verbiage. That should lead any picture-grazer to read the article for more details. Let me know how that reads. Thanks.


 * Dispute resolved, cheers. Viewfinder (talk) 16:09, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve John Wesley Hardin in popular culture
Hi, I'm Ratzd'mishukribo. GenQuest, thanks for creating John Wesley Hardin in popular culture!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Might do as a section of John Wesley Hardin, but not as a separate article.

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.


 * I removed that section FROM the main article as it is trivial pop culture that has little to do with the article's subject. GenQuest (talk) 16:58, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

The War Z
I notice that you claim to have filed an AfD for this article. However, no such request has been filed, according to the AfD log. You may want to try that again - at the moment there's just a PROD. Since, if a PROD template is deleted by anyone for any reason (or no reason), it should not be replaced, I suspect that's not what you intended? Anaxial (talk) 18:04, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Closing summary
The closing summary at Talk:Young Broadcasting is a little confusing. While the article may have been moved in the interim, the result was to move to Young Broadcasting, performed by Jenks24.

Your request for rollback
Hi GenQuest. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback: If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  14:45, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
 * Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
 * Rollback should never be used to edit war.
 * If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
 * Use common sense.
 * Thanks. Will use wisely. GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 19:19, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you GenQuest for your great American support. I will keep in the ethnic minority categories of Gypsy, Irish Traveller & Showman communities as they are relevant to the subject of community cohesion in the article. Thanks again.

Ladytwentytwo (talk) 08:00, 1 February 2013 (UTC) 


 * Hi GenQuest, thanks for all your hard work, I just hope it was on the right article. I am checking and don't want to state the obvious, but I wouldn't want you wasting your time on the wrong article. The one that you good editors should be concentrating on is Normandy Youth Club - The N-Factor because that is a Start-Class and would benefit from improving. The one that is Stub-Class is The N Factor Normandy Youth Club (and I am very sorry as a newperson on here, I don't know how it has duplicated the other article). The reason why I explain all this is because I think you have done a lot of good work on the wrong article.(Ladytwentytwo (talk) 17:08, 1 February 2013 (UTC))

Regarding your article Lynn Stewart (disambiguation)
GenQuest, wanted to give you a heads up regarding the work you have been doing on the Lynn Stewart (disambiguation) article. Per my translation of WP:APODAB, this article should actually be titled Lynn Stewart. I'm going to see if an administrator is willing to move Lynn Stewart (disambiguation) to Lynn Stewart per a request on Requested moves/Technical requests (due to this move being rather technical in nature), and if that move does not get approved (due to possibly not being "technical" enough), moving the move discussion to Requested moves. Steel1943 (talk) 03:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'm putting it straight onto Requested moves, since I realized the move might be considered controversial. You will find the discussion here. Steel1943 (talk) 03:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. Do whatever needs to be done. I tried to use the Lynn Stewart existing redirect as the article. I tried killing the redirect of Lynn Stewart (then pointing at Lynne Stewart the radical attorney), but when I made the article, the redirect kept taking over when I tried to navigate to the page. Maybe because it's been in place for so long? It was the weirdest thing; and that's why I named it the way I did. Hope you guys can hammer it out.  Let me know if you need me to do anything.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 04:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It's been done. JHunterJ performed the moved due to its technical nature. The reason why the move could not have been done by a non-administrator is due to what is outlined in WP:MOR; by the time these two articles were created, there was already more than one line in the edit history of Lynn Stewart. The only options you would have had was to make Lynn Stewart the true disambiguation article by doing a copy/paste (which is frowned upon), or made Lynn Stewart the original disambiguation page. Anyways, it has been resolved now. Steel1943 (talk) 19:11, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

February 2013
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Cypriot intercommunal violence a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

noted your disambiguation of a Tache link
Hi; just to note that Tache is a redirect to Tache-with-an-accent; and that Tache (Indian reserve) may have an official IR name, I'll look that up shortly. unaccented Tache would seem to need to be a secondary dab page because of the accent on the other one; the alternative name Tachie gives an indication of how it's pronounced in Carrie/Dakelh and in local English; I think that's probably an "sh" sound rather than "tsh"....please reply my talkpage, if at all.Skookum1 (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * this is the reserve's official name/status, though the name is much older than the Indian Reserve system of course....the current format for such a title would be Tache 1 though I have objections to that as that's the Frenchform name...Tache Indian Reserve No. 1 or similar would be the usual MOSTCOMMON name in English; but that begs the question, does that go on the Tache-accent disambig page, or on a separate one?Skookum1 (talk) 10:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Why this change? I find it much easier to edit if template arguments are expanded, e.g. {{cite web | url= | ... as opposed to  {{cite web|url=...}} . Btw, what does "c/e" mean? Copy-editing? -- 2A03:3680:0:3:0:0:0:67 (talk) 02:11, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Hello, 2A03. Yes, c/e is copy edit. The style for references is actually one line, with the pipes, so that the page doesn't become ungodly long. Putting them in expanded as you did is fine also, but they may well be one-lined eventually by somebody.  There is also an option under your preference settings to change the color of the refs and other wiki-coded elements, which makes it easier to edit once you get used to it.  GenQuest  {{sup| "Talk to Me" }} 04:47, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, the page gets only "longer" when in edit-mode, it's not like linebreaks would cost a lot more diskspace to save :-) Colored formatting helpers may help, thanks, but I tend to prefer structure over color. Anyway, thanks for your input. -- 2A03:3680:0:3:0:0:0:67 (talk) 10:11, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

President-Head of State
Hi GenQuest, I think was too quick. The change done by the IP user is IMO correct. --Best regards, Keysanger (what?) 20:13, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * You may be right; I was back-tracking a disruptive IP editor and may have reverted his one good edit out of thirty. Assume you corrected. ThanX. GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 00:20, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I took the time to check the article, and I think "Heads of State" does fit the section better than "Presidents," as the former encompasses the contents of that table better—their having been colonial governors, juntas, "Supreme Leaders", etc. running the country in the past. GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 00:51, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know. There are three reasons for President: --Best regards, Keysanger (what?) 18:27, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * the title promises a list of Presidents and now the reader gets a list of Head of States.
 * In Chile the wo/man at the top is always Head of State and Head of government. Both.
 * Under this name (List of Heads of State) who was Head of government, for example, in 1965?

C/E tag at Nantucket
Hi GenQuest, I note that you placed a (c/e tagged) designation at Nantucket. I've not seen this tag before, although I find many articles have copy editing issues. Is this tag simply an exhortation for other editors to improve the copy of the article or is there a cadre of experienced copy editors for whom this is a digital marker for them to find and work on?

Can you explain on what basis it was decided that Bloody Christmas (1963) had to be redirected and merged to Cypriot intercommunal violence? Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  00:41, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * My bad. That other was a re-naming move I had made that you reverted and which we have discussed prior to this. The incomplete merge of Bloody Christmas into Cypriot intercommunal violence was made by an IP 95.141.31.4 on March 3, 2013—probably the time frame when I archived the February discussions because no one else had yet done so. (I checked the links then, and if they redirected at that time, I archived them). Since then, however, the merger was obviously reversed with the discussion continuing. There will probably need to be administrative or supervisory input to close this apparently divisive proposal. Perhaps you can help out there.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 04:13, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Not sure what I can do there to help but thanks for the details. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις  15:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Andrew Johnson
Hi, I see that you have twice now changed the link in the hatnote from Andrew Johnson (disambiguation) to Andrew Johnson (soldier). If this is intentional and you think it would help the reader, could you leave an explanation at Talk:Andrew Johnson and we can have a discussion? If you don't want to, then please leave it alone as I don't see the benefit. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 02:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hardin article
Please enlighten me. The quotation of the text on page 44 of the reference uses the word killing, not killin', so it seemed to me to be a misquote. Is there another source that uses killin' that causes this to be a "sic"? – P AINE E LLSWORTH  C LIMAX !  16:59, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I read the book years ago and am pretty sure the colloquial term is used. I no longer have the book at my disposal, so if you have something fresher, feel free to revert, as I may be wrong on that one.  If I am, I apologize... Sorry.  I did stop myself at Hickok as I don't have the proof at my fingertips.  Do you have an actual scan or a transcription?   GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 17:34, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The link in the reference takes you to this Google Books link. To the upper left of the book frame there is a field with two arrows, < >, next to it.  Type "44" in that field (without the quotation marks) and hit your ENTER key.  Near the top of page 44 is the quotation, which goes "If Bill needs killing why don't you kill him yourself?"  Best to you! –  P AINE E LLSWORTH  C LIMAX !  18:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Googie architecture archival
Thanks for taking the time to archive Talk:Googie architecture. I noticed that you archived a section, "Can We Get Some Input On Pronunciation?", that is a continuing discussion (albeit a slow one - my recent comment is the first in years). Would you mind restoring that section? I'm not altogether familiar with the archival process and don't want to mess it up by trying to do it myself. Ibadibam (talk) 00:01, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Proper format for merge templates
Hi, I really appreciate your managing of Proposed mergers. Please use the correct syntax for the various merge templates. Don't enclose pages in brackets, the template links them automatically. Also, separate each parameter with a pipe (|) character – e.g., see this diff. Thanks, Wbm1058 (talk) 03:10, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Clarification for merging(?!) the article Bloody Christmas (1963)
Hello GenQuest, would you please clarify the reason for merging the article? 23x2 and Dr.K. are the only people who wish to merge the article, but where is the consensus? How did you decide to merge the article at all? Please clarify how you came up with the idea that this was a POV Fork? Don't you think there were enough references by both sides? And where is the consensus at all? There is no information "proposed mergers" page. Only proposition by 23x2 and than the acceptance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Proposed_mergers In February 2013. And if we really talk about a merge; why did the whole article disappear? Only one Greek POV sentence is there describing this military campaign which is the main source of the violence in the island.. I loose my interest and trust in WP experiencing that such works disappear with the help of some patriot users.. Greetings from Germany, Sbasturk (talk) 22:31, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
 * See |the merge and redirect. I had little to do with it, and it was certainly not my decision in the least, as I run maintenance on the proposed mergers page and just report what happens with the requests there.  I rarely get personally involved in any but the most non-controversial or trite proposals. (I think the name change I made earlier -and reverted by Dr K by mutual agreement- is confusing you.)  Policy is that anyone can merge (even without consensus), and anyone can then revert it, at which time a consensus discussion must take place.  It appears that the merge was reverted and reestablished several times without any discussion. Thanks.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 00:56, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, got it. So there was no concensus and somebody just deciced alona, that it was a POV Fork.. And anybody can change it again. Another Wiki War. But how can I be sure, that nobody can delete or redirect it without consensus? Sbasturk (talk) 14:58, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Make your edit and put it on your watchlist. Delete discussion notifications must be posted, so it would show-up then.  Same thing with a redirect.  Start a conversation on the talk page if it gets contentious.  Ask for an RfC if necessary.  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 10:36, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Bloody Mary (folklore)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Bloody Mary (folklore), you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.
 * You are the one being disruptive and non-communal in your approach to a content disagreement on a procedure whose process is clearly spelled out in Consensus, Proposed mergers, and WP Bold. The solution is not to try to position yourself as some kind of "vandal-stopping" editor as you have with your bogus 'warning' above, but to calmly discuss the situation without the vitriol.  Can you do that?  If not, then your behavior with attempting to by-pass procedure and common respect must itself be closely looked at, per  use of unnecessary reverting.
