Re: Philip K. Dick

 * Deleted the entry because, in cited book review references, any allusion to PKD are made by the author of the REVIEW, NOT the author of the book being reviewed

Which is exactly how it should be; Wikipedia is based on secondary, not primary sources. See WP:RS for more info. On the other hand, if what you are trying to say, is that these opinions are not well supported, then the material you removed should not be added back. But keep in mind, we write articles primarily on what reliable secondary sources say, not primary. You may want to discuss your removal on the talk page of the article.

I corrected the 'Filmography' table for the "59 Seconds" entry. It was listed in the table BETWEEN 2012 and 2013, with the Title in the Year column, the Character in the Title column, and the Notes in the Character column. I created a "2014" section, and put the entry information in the proper columns. I used the IMDb "59 Seconds" page as a reference. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1720035/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1 Gil gosseyn (talk) 01:27, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk Page etiquette
It is a bad idea to add new discussion material to extremely stale discussions from years ago on personal talk pages. Since this was a content matter it should be discussed at the article talk page. Capitalismojo (talk) 19:44, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

WP:NPA No Personal Attacks
Editors can and are banned for personal attacks. You will no doubt be if you persist in making entirely baseless personal attacks. I expect an apology and suggest you apologize to Dr Fleischman as well. Capitalismojo (talk) 05:41, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Larry Sanders Show, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Deadwood ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/The_Larry_Sanders_Show check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/The_Larry_Sanders_Show?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Attempted highjacker.
Someone has been repeatedly trying to log into my account recently. I don't know why, unless they want to use it for mischief. Or maybe they just have a similar login and are "fat-fingering" it. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know. Gil gosseyn (talk) 09:09, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi, my issue with your edit was that the you used a Facebook post as a reference, and those are not considered reliable sources by Wikipedia standards. Of the links you listed, only the one for Obituaries in the Performing Arts, 2014 would be considered reliable—Noblemania is a blog, Topclassactions.com is basically a commercial site, and IMDb and Find A Grave are user-edited.

Also, when leaving comments on talk pages, please sign them by adding ~ at the end; this will add your username and when you posted the comment. Trivialist (talk) 02:04, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

I have updated the reference to the one Obituaries in the Performing Arts, 2014. I apologize for forgetting to sign the comment. Gil gosseyn (talk) 02:25, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. -- / Alex /21  10:43, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Answer the question, please. Why are you reverting my edit, and why aren't you giving an explanation. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK. Gil gosseyn (talk) 10:52, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Not reverting. Try again. -- / Alex /21  12:29, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Suzy McCoppin
Hey! I just wanted to reach out because I saw the edit you made and then retracted on the Suzy McCoppin talk page. I'm assuming you realized your own mistake but just in case, I wanted to make sure you knew that Suzy McCoppin is her actual name and Julian Wells is the alias used for her Seduction Cinema films. The Julian Wells name comes from the character in the book, Less Than Zero (novel), who was played by Robert Downey Jr. in the film of the same name. I actually worked with Suzy on a couple of those Seduction Cinema films and she remains a friend today. So I can assure you that's her real name. If I recall, her original stage name for the films was going to be Justine Time but I could be misremembering. Anyway, like I said, I'm sure you probably figured out that your initial thought was wrong but wanted to give you the information just in case. Be well!

 * You're right! I saw my mistake after further reading, but didn't know how to Undo the entry, so I just deleted it. The IMDb entry was what really confused me, i.e. being under an alias, especially since the majority of her work is credited to her real name. I'm surprised her WP entry isn't fleshed out a little more, though. Most 'Living People' entries have a little more detail, such as Filmography, etc. I was tempted to add her DOB, but I realize many working actresses are sensitive about age, the business being what it is (unfairly judgemental). I would never want to do something that might impact her career. AS I found out in my fifties, Hollywood isn't the only place where ageism exists. I think she's gorgeous and funny, and wish her nothing but the best. Gil gosseyn (talk) 21:31, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Twassman. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, The Hill (newspaper), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Twassman &#91;Talk·Contribs&#93; 09:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
