Crawdaddy! article
I see you have put in a redlink for Peter Knobler. It's not a good idea to put a redlink into an article. If there is somebody (other than Knobler, of course) who is going to write a Knobler article, then it should be in place before you start marking up text in other articles. -- Orange Mike 20:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow, nice edits! I should tell you that I did tweak a couple of minor things after looking at your edits (let me know if any of my changes bother you), but I never would have seen the need for the changes that I made if you hadn't laid the foundation. Thanks for your hard work! -- edi  (talk)  23:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

David Dinkins
Please read WP:V, where you'll see that Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. You are making a number of edits to David Dinkins without discussion, and having a bit of an edit war by leaving provocative edit summaries as you are making the edits. Changes can certainly be made, but please discuss them on Talk:David Dinkins when you see that people are disagreeing with what you're doing. Developing a consensus as to appropriate wording is the best way to make changes, especially when you are being challenged. Frank &#124;  talk  17:57, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

The statement that "Under the Dinkins administration, crime in New York City decreased more dramatically and more rapidly than at any time in modern New York City history" was made by Len Riggio, CEO of Barnes & Noble, on page xi of the foreword to Dinkins' memoir and is backed up by a chart from the New York Post. The Dinkins listing includes 31 individual and verifiable references from sources other than the Dinkins memoir itself. There is no promotional commercial link. The third party notification is not justified and should be removed. The Confederate flag on the Talk site of the person who placed it there is noted.Pk800 (talk) 00:29, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Little Red School House
Hi. Can you tell what what your source is for adding Peter Knobler to the list of notable graduates of the school? Please remember that personal knowledge is not sufficient -- it's considered to be original research -- and it's not mentioned in Knobler's article, so you're going to need a citation from a reliable source to support adding it. I haven't reverted your change, because I consider it likely to be true, but other editors may evaluate it differently, so adding a cite as soon as possible would be a good idea.

 * Hi. According to Classmates.com, Knobler graduated from Elisabeth Irwin High School in 1964. Listing: http://www.classmates.com/directory/public/memberprofile/list.htm?regId=58261151. I hope that source is sufficient. Best, Pk800. 16:03, 14 August 2011


 * To be honest, I'm not sure if it is or not, but I'll put it in and we'll see what happens. Thanks! Beyond My Ken (talk) 20:22, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring
Your bold edit to Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. was reverted. Please take your issue to the talk page (WP:BRD). Your neutrality here is also disputed; you're a significant contributor to Peter Knobler and are given his point of view more emphasis than is needed with sloppier writing and incomplete faithfulness to the source cited.

David Dinkins (again)
I noticed that you reinstated your extravagant claim that "Under Dinkins' Safe Streets, Safe Cities program, crime in New York City decreased more dramatically and more rapidly, both in terms of actual numbers and percentage, than at any time in modern New York City history." You now cite both Dinkins' memoir, and the Langan report for support. I'm not a statistician, but I can't find anything in either source to validate your statement. Accordingly, I've deleted it. You've been reinserting your claim into the article for more than three years, despite being told by numerous editors that it's not valid. Before I kick this up a notch in the Dispute Resolution process, maybe you can justify your action by explaining on the Dinkins talk page, clearly and precisely, how you derived your claim from the sources, especially Langan. Please explain in a way that's understandable to any reasonably intelligent layman. Thank you. Scaleshombre (talk) 22:12, 4 July 2017 (UTC) -
