CSI (franchise)
Sorry for not explaining myself on my CSI (franchise) edits. Because the franchise is a broader topic than the individual shows, I don't think it makes sense for the article to be included in the individual shows' categories as well. Trivialist (talk) 18:34, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

About Islam in the United States
Hello,

My reply is:

But, the page of Akon itself says since long time ago until now that Akon is a Muslim and provided a reliable source. 212.215.237.101 (talk) 06:29, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

re Minecraftfan14
didn't pay attention to your advice about un-constructive editing, they've been adding (and re-adding) unsourced, erroneous tripe and POV comments to Charlie Hebdo shooting and related pages. See this for example adding "This is the second attempt of a terrorist attack in France, and is still continuing now, with more than one hundred more to be killed.". And later this. I've warned them, about sourcing and POV, and left a personal note too. (Happy New Year!?) --220  of  Borg 02:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up, Borg!
 * Should they continue their disruptive editing, I believe making a report at WP:AIV will be more than appropriate. As it stands, they don't really appear to be here to constructively build the encyclopedia. Anyway, Happy New Year to you too! all the best, —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 04:10, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

I agree with the anons; the "succession box" shouldn't be there. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:47, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There should be a hidden explanation there for other users who are not familiar with those boxes. The first anon removed content, without the decency of an edit summary. I wasn't going to play the guessing game and assume the removal was appropriate, now was I? —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 01:39, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Potentially, it might have been appropriate when Perry was governor (although I doubt it). Once he left office (January 20, I believe), it's no longer potentially appropriate.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 06:14, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Well I wasn't going to sit and think about it; content was removed with no reason or explanation. Had anon 1 used an edit summary to explain what they were doing, with an appropriate reason – this situation would have been avoided.

Presenting only one side
I found it inappropriate that comments by known staunch advocates against "war on terror" are included on his death, without even a single comment from neutral or pro authors. You have to give space to both views right.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.204.79.170 (talk) 12:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Please do not remove content verified by reliable sources in future without an edit summary. Furthermore, why don't you add an opinion on the contrary side to the author's opinion you had removed?
 * Nevertheless, the best venue to discuss the article's neutrality is here. Best, —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 12:26, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes I did mistake of not leaving "edit comment". But still strongly stand by my view that comments by strong critics Glenn Greenwald and Paul Craig Roberts must be included if and only if we include comments by neutral or other side authors. If the person who included these cares for proper unbiased presentation of information which he/she clearly doesn't, he would have included comments from all parties on his death. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.204.79.170 (talk) 12:50, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

I tried finding out old articles to balance the views, it's difficult after more than 3 years. Probably I will give it another shot later. Anyway I totally totally admire your work for wikipedia.

Template:Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit should not have a link to Special Victims Unit, as this is not directly related to the television show. This is like having a link to "Doctor" in a navbox for a TV show called Doctors. Per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, if it's in the navbox, the navbox should be on the article, and I'm sure you see it would not be appropriate to have the template Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on the Special Victims Unit article. --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:53, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It is directly related to the series.
 * Special Victims Unit refers to a division within the NYPD, the subject of the series – where as a doctor, is an occupation.
 * Also, I believe the mentioning meets at least points 3 to 5 at WP:BIDIRECTIONAL, which in turn stipulates that some of those points can be met, instead of all. —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 12:04, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The show may be directly related to the unit, but not the other way around. And WP:BIDIRECTIONAL doesn't have any points!  It reads: Every article that transcludes a given navbox should normally also be included as a link in the navbox so that the navigation is bidirectional.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The unit is related to the series, however. I wouldn't go as far to adding a navbox to the unit page – but "should normally also be included" does not equate "definately must be included". I believe mentioning said unit is of benefit to our readers as the series is not only about the unit, but rather based and set in the unit.
 * WP:SIDEBAR is what I meant, apologies for the confusion.
 * If you're still adamant on its exclusion, then feel free to remove it. It really isn't something to lose sleep over. Regards, —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 14:18, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not going to lose any sleep about it either, was just tidying up some unwieldy navboxes I came across ;) --Rob Sinden (talk) 08:54, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * If you honestly still are in doubt of its place within the navbox, I can undo my edit, it's all goods? —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 08:56, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

I believe you made a mistake in reverting an edit made to "List of Magic: The Gathering sets"
Hey there,

Just today, Mark Rosewater revealed the codenames of two new Magic: The Gathering sets, "Soup" and "Salad". With this announcement, he also stated that the codename for the set "Monkeys" had been changed to "Laughs".

This can be found in the following link: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/119632317253/new-codenames

As it had not already been done, I edited the article "List of Magic: The Gathering sets" to reflect this change. I made sure to include the reference, and my reason for editing the article. I believe you have made a mistake in reverting this edit, as it is factual and more recent than the current information provided by the article.

Please consider restoring this edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.87.64.200 (talk • contribs)

Eiditing of Shahid Afridi's page
First of all Afridi is not a former cricketer. He played a T20 International yesterday for Pakistan. He is the captain for Christ sake. So don't mislead readers. Secondly, he is not one of the greatest cricketers of all time. He is not even a Pakistani great. He is a great entertainer but has an average record. Hence, cannot be called a great in cricketing terms. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creakylol (talk • contribs) 09:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union
I removed all the propaganda in there and I was in the middle to put the actual truth in there. I was just getting more information. And yes I am worried that you decided to put it back the way it was because most of it is lies. The EU does not create trade that is point number 1. There is no mention of how much the EU cost the UK. There is no mention of benefits of withdrawing. Are you trying to allow scare mongering into thinking that if the UK left the EU that it would be a natural disaster?

Have you ever heard the saying throwing good money after bad? That is the EU.

Here is a truth, The UK sends the EU £20 Billion a year although the EU sends back up to £10 Billion every year. The EU tell the UK how to spend and where to spend it, then tell the UK that you must stick up a EU flag and say thank you this was built with EU money. No this was built with UK taxpayer money!

Next lie, The EU brings £30 Billion to £90 Billion of trade every year. Politicians never make trade, trade is made on supply and demand. If everyone in the UK stopped buying German Cars like BMW, Audi and Mercedes would the EU still send them over? No, because it is the car manufacturers that send them over and they would say well we are not making any money in the UK. And if the EU created that amount of trade why does the UK have a £1.6 Trillion deficit?

Also, I personally think you can't put quotes in newspapers. The press have a way of asking loaded questions.

If you are going to put this page up then instead of painting the EU like it is the best thing on earth. Look at the Pro's to leaving and the Con's but never should one outweigh the other.

And you should be willing to take points of views from everyone.

I was going to add, the survey companies only do between 1000 and 10000 people. There is no note to that effect on their either.

I do want a reply and I will give you up to 3 days to reply.
