Greetings, fellow New Jerseyan. You undid my edit without explanation. (Please provide one.) Did you read the guideline that I cited? —David Levy 00:56, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, David. I actually meant to undo another edit. I do realize that copyediting is not allowed. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 01:03, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Pursuant to the above: I removed no references. I did, however, combine two with other references...unless I'm missing something. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:05, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Since you shortened them, I accidentally thought they were deleted, since there was a big red minus dash of 516 characters in the revision history. I'll leave it the way it is. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 01:06, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * It's a nice little feature of the ReFill tool...combines refs to make the reference tree less messy. One of many reasons I love it. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:09, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. :)  —David Levy 01:10, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Bare links
Hi, I noticed when you support your info with refs you just give the bare links. It is extremely helpful to add the title, work, accessdate, etc. when you include refs. Just look at other people's refs if you need help writing a complete ref. By doing so, it looks more orderly and other users will easily identify if the source is reliable.

 * Alright, I will in the future, thanks for the heads up. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 22:41, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

One more thing, I notice you work on important or larger articles. That is ok, but sometimes it seems you use an opinion-based editing style which is not accepted. I know the controversial subjects have a lot of viewpoints, but yours can not be used as a reliable source. I suggest working on lesser articles, learning some more of wiki's rules, and sticking to what a reference gives you.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:21, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll take your advice under consideration. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

On further analysis, I changed the wording back to "described". You seem a little opinionated on this subject, which is understandable. But your interpretation in this case was much better than whatever illusions DH has.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:08, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 23:09, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
But, please realize that this effort is based on consensus. You have been here a week, and have twice removed an article tag. Allow time to take its course so that an encyclopedia can be more accurate. This is particularly important in a WP:BLP where a man's reputation is at stake.

 * Alright, I understand. I'll put it back. HydrocityFerocity (talk) 00:18, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
