Elizabeth Taylor
Adjusted the comment per your feedback. If you'd like to change it further or revert it to a pared-down version feel free, I just thought it would be good to explain once within the article's Comments the reason behind the movie title. Cheers, Shearonink (talk) 19:13, 24 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think the explanation is really necessary, but I guess it doesn't hurt. Looks good to me. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 19:26, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Izzy Stradlin
I seen you have re-written the Izzy Stradlin article and just wanted to say, good work. Out of all the Guns N' Roses Appetite era members, his needed redone. I've went ahead and removed the Guns N' Roses albums from his discography though. With him being a solo artist, only his albums should be included with the rest on his discography page.

I've noticed your edits on discographys as well. While I created the Duff McKagan discography article (quite poorly I should mention), they should really be formated differently, such as Josh Homme discography. WP:DISCOGRAPHY and WP:DISCOGSTYLE have more info. Happy editing! HrZ (talk) 15:18, 28 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment! I've been on a mission to improve the original members' articles. About the discographies, I'll classify the content of Izzy Stradlin discography and Duff McKagan discography per band instead of chronologically. I won't be adding chart listings and such, since I really have no desire to search for them online. Cheers, Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 22:22, 29 May 2011 (UTC).


 * No problem. Yeah I noticed, would I be wrong in assuming you are doing Steven Adler next (with Axl Rose already a Good article)? I've went ahead and filled in the the charts as well on Duff McKagan discography. It is my understanding that if a musician has released solo albums, they come before anything else they have released with other groups, so I have made the move. HrZ (talk) 13:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Looks good! Yeah, I plan on doing Steven Adler eventually, I just keep putting it off because the subject doesn't interest me much. Axl Rose could use some work as well, despite its listed status. Cheers, Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 15:14, 31 May 2011 (UTC).


 * I wanted to re-write Adler's but had no interest in researching his reality show appearances, only interested in the music. As for the Studio albums in Izzy Stradlin, not a big issue so I didn't revert again. But, you cannot use another article as an example for edits. I think it's borderline WP:OSE, just because another article doesn't include something, doesn't mean it should be removed others. HrZ (talk) 17:18, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Slash band members
Was about to change the Slash article per the discussion on the talk page. However, I first wanted to check that we are in agreement now. Also, the preview of the article with a drop-down box in a band members sub-section doesn't look right to me. Perhaps have the list as it is in a sub-section under solo career or just have the drop-down box in the solo career section itself. What do you think? HrZ (talk) 12:57, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

 Band members


 * Current members
 * Myles Kennedy – lead vocals (2010–present)
 * Bobby Schneck – rhythm guitar, backing vocals (2010–present)
 * Todd Kerns – bass, backing vocals (2010–present)
 * Brent Fitz – drums, percussion (2010–present)
 * Past members
 * Tony Montana – bass (2010)
 * Session musicians
 * Chris Chaney – bass (2009)
 * Josh Freese – drums (2009)
 * Lenny Castro – percussion (2009)


 * Go right ahead. I personally prefer the latter option (see right), because it reduces the amount of white space. Cheers, Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 14:35, 6 August 2011 (UTC).

Gotye
I already had the same discussion with someone about losing Belgian nationality. Please see the relevant discussion on my talk page. Thank you. Gold Renet  21:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

(Content below copied from User talk:GoldRenet.)

Alright, going by Belgian nationality law, I do believe it's very likely that this person no longer has the Belgian nationality. It says, "A person at least 18 years old who voluntarily obtained another nationality before 9 June 2007 automatically lost their Belgian nationality." and "A child under 18 will lose Belgian citizenship if a responsible parent loses Belgian citizenship." That means that if his parents acquired the Australian nationality after their move (which is more than likely since he himself has done so), then he automatically lost his Belgian nationality. So I really think his supposed Belgian nationality needs a source; the fact that he was born there is not sufficient proof. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for responding, I will look into it it one of these days. Gold  Renet  06:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I found the time to look into it and I agree it needs a source. By looking at the rules at the Belgian foreign affairs website there is no certainty that Gotye would have retained his Belgian citizenship. Well, that is according to present Belgian nationality legislation. I know the law changed in 1985, but I don't know what the rules were before and whether Gotye moved to Australia before or after the law came into force. If lost, he may also have re-aquisited Belgian nationality.
 * That aside, and by coincidence or not, Gotye came on the Belgian radio station "Studio Brussel" today on the occasion of the concert he will give in Brussels on October 30, and that same question our discussion is about, came up. The interviewer asked whether he was Belgian or Australian as (and I loosely cite) "both countries talk of Gotye as 'our' Gotye". Gotye then said that he was 'technically' both Belgian and Australian.
 * Unfortunately, the radio interview is (and probably always will be) unsourcable, unless some news paper makes an article about it, which I doubt.
 * This all taken together is why I agree it needs a source. Gold  Renet  16:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Good find! The radio show can be used as a source like this: . Cheers, Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 08:21, 22 October 2011 (UTC).


 * Ok, thanks! I didn't realise they put the interview online :p BTW, the interview was because of his concert in Club 69 on November 3 apparently, and not the one in the AB. Gold  Renet  08:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

"Welcome"
Just wanted to let you know that the welcome message that you left on my talk page makes it more difficult for me to use Wikipedia the way I like. I've been editing here for nearly six years now, and pretty much know how to do everything I want to do, already. Now I'm sorry I ever clicked on the Izzy Stradlin page in the first place. The things I fixed were definitely not worth it. Oh well. Thanks for your time. 68.229.251.183 (talk) 13:41, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Guns N' Roses image
Is that Stinson in the image as well? Wasn't sure the first time I looked because the guy in the image looks different to Stinson (well to me anyway). Looks like he may have let himself go a bit! HrZ (talk) 15:10, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I just went by process of elimination, since as you say it's not Frank Ferrer, then it has to be Tommy Stinson, right? It's hard to tell in profile, but I think it's him. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 16:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm used to seeing him in his suit and slightly spiked hair, but it could be him. There are some similarities. Also for future reference, this is Ferrer. HrZ (talk) 16:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I don't pay much attention to NuGN'R. For a long time I thought DJ Ashba was an actual DJ. :P Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 16:40, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

What is "NuGN'R"? Please enlighten me. How long exactly did you think "DJ Ashba" was a DJ before you looked it up? (Itsaperfectday (talk) 14:57, 19 April 2016 (UTC))


 * Haha, I thought pretty much the same thing about Ashba, but when Nikki Sixx first launched Sixx:A.M. with him. He's actually not too bad, like if Slash was a created by Tim Burton, with guitar playing/solos that wouldn't sound out of place in The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Hollywood Rose
Hey just to say that edit is an improvement. Did he really adopt Rose as a surname prior to forming Hollywood Rose? The sources I've read stated Bailey, but much like anything to do with him (or GNR) I can't be 100% sure. Thanks. HrZ (talk) 11:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'm pretty sure he did, yeah. Rose is his birth name, which he readopted after finding out about his biological father at the age of 17, according to a 1988 Rolling Stone cover story. Only the Axl part was inspired by the band. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 12:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Right, so he would have been known as Rose 4 years before forming the band. Good enough for me! HrZ (talk) 12:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Angelina Jolie
This is a note to let the main editors of Angelina Jolie know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on June 19, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director or one of his delegates (,, and ), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/June 19, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Angelina Jolie (born 1975) is an American actress, film director, and screenwriter. She has received an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (for her performance in the 1999 drama Girl, Interrupted), two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and three Golden Globe Awards, and was named Hollywood's highest-paid actress by Forbes in 2009 and 2011. Jolie promotes humanitarian causes as a Special Envoy and former Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. She has often been cited as the world's "most beautiful" woman. Jolie made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in Lookin' to Get Out (1982). Her first leading role in a major film was in the cyber-thriller Hackers (1995). She achieved wide fame after her portrayal of video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and received critical acclaim for her performances in the dramas A Mighty Heart (2007) and Changeling (2008). She made her directorial debut with the wartime drama In the Land of Blood and Honey (2011). Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie now lives with actor Brad Pitt, in a relationship notable for fervent media attention. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:02, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Addition of "The Tourist" to lead section of Angelina Jolie
Hello, thanks for your valuable contribution to wikipedia. I want to bring it to your notice that "The Tourist" was critically and financially more successful in international cinema though it couldn't perform well in the US territory. It has acclaimed serious appreciation from many famous personalities with a huge applaud for Angelina Jolie's performance. Hope it makes my point more valid regarding putting "The Tourist" in the lead of Angelina Jolie article. Thanks. Mr RD (talk) 17:45, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * This matter was discussed by others here.

A barnstar for you!

People (magazine)/People.com
Heads up. We might have to deal with this type of mess in the near future at the Angelina Jolie article. If he (John) comes to that article pulling that absurdity, such as possibly following me there via this post, I will be reverting. He has essentially wrecked the Brad Pitt article, and it's disgusting that he has and may get away with it. I'm so tired of administrators thinking that they can do whatever they want around here. And his "Not on my watch" statement shows just how superior he thinks he is. I know that you edit other WP:BLP articles as well, so this is also a heads up with regard to those. Flyer22 (talk) 09:10, 13 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Crap, the Jolie article has like 20+ statements sourced to People. It will be a lot of work having to find replacement sources, and a few of them might be very hard to find. Ah well, we'll have to wait and see. Thanks for the warning. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 19:16, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, well, as you can see from the complete version of the above linked discussion, and from this WP:RfC on the matter, his view has been resoundingly refuted. So no worries. Despite that, he's still trying to get People out of the Brad Pitt article. Some people never learn. Flyer22 (talk) 14:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Slash (musician)
I noticed that you have been quite active in the past improving Slash (musician) so I just wanted to give you a heads-up that I was going to start working on it. I'd like to improve the quality until it could potentially become a featured article. I may switch the citation style for all the sources to the same system used for the Slash/Bozza book, since that's easier to work with and declutters the text when editing. It doesn't look like you're very active any more, but let me know if you'd like to collaborate, divide/conquer, etc. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 20:32, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Spike Wilbury, that article is pretty bad so it's great that you're taking it on; I'll be very interested to see your improvements. Unfortunately I've kind of given up on Wiki as an editor, so I don't think I'll be of much help. Good luck! Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 21:34, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Cool. I picked up the Slash/Bozza ebook and some other sources from the library. Mind if I ask why you gave up? --Spike Wilbury (talk) 22:31, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Spike, Slash's autobiography is a great (if biased) source; Duff McKagan also has a book out that is very good and might be useful. I remember heretodaygonetohell.com having a pretty extensive archive of newspaper and magazine articles on Guns N' Roses, so you might find something there. To answer your question, two years ago I took a long break from editing because it left me frustrated, and I just never managed to fully get back into it. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:18, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I forgot, Steven Adler's autobiography might also be worth checking out, since he and Slash were childhood friends. I can't vouch for its quality though; I have a copy but I've never read it. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:22, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, just picked up those ebooks as well. They should be able to be used to source McKagan and Adler's viewpoints on things. I've taken several long breaks over the years when I felt worn out, but I usually come back when I see an opportunity to work on something that sounds interesting at the time. I've been listening to Slash a lot recently (mostly the newer stuff with Myles Kennedy), also having grown up with Appetite and those classics. --Spike Wilbury (talk) 11:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Golden Raspberry Angelina Jolie
I realized that you delete the Golden Raspberry Awards Nominations of Angelina Jolie. Why? I think it is an important award and it is a little bit unfair, when you can't see that nominations. I hope you can excuse my bad English. (I'm from Germany) (talk) 15:45, 08. May 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fallacies4 (talk • contribs)


 * I'm adding this only because I saw the edit but I think Prayer reverted it because that small section is really only for her most prestigious awards and the Golden Raspberry isn't one of them. LADY LOTUS • TALK 17:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Fallacies4, Lady Lotus is right: like I wrote in the edit summary, the awards table on Angelina Jolie is intended only for her most notable awards and nominations; I think you'll agree that the Golden Raspberry is not on par with the Oscars or Golden Globes. All "lesser" awards are included in List of awards and nominations received by Angelina Jolie. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 18:04, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't know that. So I hope you can excuse me, Prayer for the wild at heart. It was a little bit naive (from/by me) to change this section, without that information. So thank you for the advise, LADY LOTUS. I will regard that the next time. Fallacies4 (talk 00:15, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Brad Pitt's beauty/sex appeal
Similar to what we did with the information about Angelina Jolie's beauty/sex appeal, we can do better on relaying information about Pitt's physical attractiveness/sex appeal. If you decide to work on that, or already have decided to work on it, I will leave most of the content to you in that case since there are not as many aspects to touch on regarding Pitt's beauty/sex appeal as there are regarding Jolie's beauty/sex appeal. There are a lot aspects to touch on regarding Pitt's physical attractiveness/sex appeal, don't get me wrong, but the extent/impact is different when compared to Jolie's beauty/sex appeal (which is not surprising, given the emphasis that societies, in general, put on female beauty and female sexuality). Flyer22 (talk) 09:55, 27 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm not really interested in Brad Pitt, both the article and the person, though I probably have edited his article before. These days I really only edit Angelina Jolie anymore, because Wiki is such a widely-used source that I want her article to be "perfect" (I'm a fan; we all have our issues). But good luck if you do rewrite it, I agree there's definitely room for improvement. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:08, 27 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I guessed that you are a Jolie fan based on your significant interest in editing the article and based on your username (remember, I recently mentioned the tattoo aspect on the talk page?). The main reason that I asked you about the Brad Pitt article, besides you being a good editor (even when I annoy you, LOL), is that I've seen you edit the Brad Pitt article and he is tied to Jolie. And, of course, you recently weighed in on the Shiloh matter at the Brad Pitt talk page. You also edit the Brangelina article. But, anyway, I understand about mainly wanting to focus on the Angelina Jolie article celebrity-wise. Flyer22 (talk) 11:20, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Outstanding job on Messi
You've transformed an article that was pretty good (few flaws here and there, excessive detail on goals etc.) into one that I believe is featured article quality. Its now very enjoyable to read. You know your stuff. The depth and detail is very impressive...the reception section is now very informative especially in regard to how he is perceived in Argentina in contrast to Maradona. Once again excellent job.Carlos Rojas77 (talk) 22:31, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

Lionel Messi
As the person who originally got Messi to GA then sort of left it to die so to speak, I just want to say thanks for your wonderful work.

Ongoing vandalism by a most likely sockpuppet on the Football Records in Spain page and Copa Eva Duarte page
Hello Sir,

Kindly take a look at the disruptive editing of the user "2001:620:d:4ad2::323" who is removing sourced material after a consensus has been reached. Also take a look at his user history on Wikipedia where I have found him removing sourced material at will for no apparent reason.

The "dispute" is ongoing on this Wikipedia page below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Football_records_in_Spain&action=history

2 primary sources (1 from the RFEF even) have been included and they have been that for well over 1 year yet he suddenly decided on his own to remove the sourced material.

Here for instance he has removed correct sourced material for no apparent reason other than vandalism that I had to correct.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Derbi_barcelon%C3%AD&action=history

Here is his user history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2001:620:D:4AD2:0:0:0:323

He is most likely a Nepali sockpuppet moreover. It obvious that he is a very biased RM fan hellbent on disrupting factual data/information about FCB if it does not suit him.

He is accusing me of being "biased" while all I do is sticking to facts.

Earlier today an editor on the FC Barcelona page included the Copa Latina trophy while I removed it due to a consensus having been reached of not including that trophy on any club page of a club who previously won the Copa Latina. Yet that individual is accusing me of "bias" when there is none.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona

Where can I contact a moderator to discuss this issue?

Thanks in advance.

User:Itsaperfectday
Izzy Stradlin's discography with Guns N' Roses need to be restored. It is a page about Izzy Stradlin's work not his work a solo artist. I see you also removed all the instruments he plays beside the "guitar". What was your reason? These need to be added back "bass, drums, percussion, piano, keyboard, synthesizer, harmonica "  Can you help? Itsaperfectday (talk) 14:23, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

What is "NuGN'R"? Please enlighten me. How long exactly did you think "DJ Ashba" was a DJ before you looked it up? (Itsaperfectday talk) 14:57, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't insert your comments in ancient sections, please. Laser brain has explained the discography to you. The instruments were removed by another editor per Template:Infobox musical artist. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 14:52, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Copa América Centenario
Please stop adding unsourced tables to Copa América Centenario. That is considered OR.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 19:12, 25 June 2016 (UTC)


 * , the content is sourced, thus OR is not a valid argument for removal. Here you will find the data presented under Teams > Games and Teams > Goals. Please stop editing in a disruptive manner. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:04, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Stop adding self-invented tables. There is no source for that.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:04, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * In your source there is no ranking given. That's just the wins, draws and losses for every team, but no ranking.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * , the source contains all the information presented in the table: points earned, results, and goals. That is all that is required to include the table. But I can see that you have a history of edit warring, so I'm bowing out. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 08:11, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The list have NOT all the information, the list don't rank the teams. Argentina is first in your list, so Argentina is first in the tournament?--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:13, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * You need a source where the teams are ranked, not just a list with the results or/and a rule by CONMEBOL/CONCACAF how eliminated teams are ranked, but that doesn't exist. Teams eliminated before the semifinals are not ranked in this tournament, it' the same in UEFA Euro 2016. I was just the first editor to see your edits, if I didn't revert you, another user would have reverted you. I have no history in edit warring, I just was in some cases the first to see and revert wrong information added to articles.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The source presents a ranking of all teams by points earned, hence Argentina are listed at the top. All teams are included. It appears you are being wilfully obtuse. I'm done with this conversation. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 08:34, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * That are the regulations for the tournament, search for yourself whether any rules for ranking teams are given there. Of course you are done because it is proven that you are wrong. The list DO NOT present a ranking of the tournament.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:37, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The source presents a ranking of all teams by points earned, but you need a ranking by a final place for every team, which is not given, there is no placenumber in front of every team.--Je suis blocked by Darkwind 08:40, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Johan Cruyff
Thank you for removing the ridiculous amount of overlinking in Johan Cruyff, but out of curiosity what does "idem" mean? sixty nine  • speak up •  01:24, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Best ever
I have an issue regarding Messi's page. Someone removed the part where it says he is rated by many in the sport as the best ever. There have been numerous football figures who have stated he is the best ever, and someone, perhaps with bias, has removed this. I think it's because someone removed the "rated by some in the sport" line from Ronaldo's page. And, he isn't. The citations used for Ronaldo's one included Pele and Raul. The citation that included Pele didn't even mention Ronaldo as the greatest ever, instead he was referred to as the best player in the world, not the best ever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredgoos (talk • contribs)

Jolie, Miller
Two edits by Tenebrae and a change you made to corroborate those edits  are actually erroneous. I am not allowed to edit BLPs at present, and am choosing to consult with you rather than Tenebrae regarding these changes because he hasn't replied to the last 20 messages on his talk page (hence unreachable).

Per a Los Angeles Times article dated November 7, 1999: They were separated in 1997, and their amicable divorce was finalized this year.

Articles published in The Cincinnati Enquirer and The Town Talk  that April also refer to the divorce as established and in the past tense, not a pending filing.

While People magazine is considered a reliable source, it really is no better than any other source as far as reporting on events after the fact. In this instance, they were wrong and that's provable. People's passage that reported the February 1999 filing states The couple married 22 months ago, which is self-contradictory since a July 1996 article from the same magazine mentioned the existing marriage. (In case you don't follow my point, the difference between the two is almost three years, not 22 months.)

I could make the corrections myself, but it would probably result in a block. Iistal (talk) 10:17, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * After Tenebrae's edits I did a little digging myself and found the following statement, dated 22 May 2000: "So eager was she to wed [Thornton] that on April 24 she had her lawyer petition the court to speed up finalizing her divorce from Miller." While you're right that People isn't the be-all and end-all, it does seem like pretty solid evidence. Earlier news outlets may have just followed Jolie's lead when she said they were divorced, rather than separated and in the process of divorcing. What do you think? Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 11:28, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * It does seem solid, but the fact it's contradictory to additional reports published both before and after is problematic. I question why People would bait readers by including that statement in the cited article without mentioning the date she actually obtained the divorce, or why they didn't report on this supposed court petition earlier – it certainly would've been newsworthy if true. The Feb. 3, 1999 filing was widely covered. By spring '99 several articles were referring to she and Miller as divorced, not just "separated" or "awaiting a divorce" or "their divorce is pending" etc. I just find it mysterious that there don't seem to be any reports for the finalization of this divorce. Perhaps they had an arrangement similar to Bruce Willis and Demi Moore: a judge signed the order the same day they filed paperwork, but most of the media only reported the filing without mentioning the couple officially divorced. Considering that Moore and Willis were separated for two years before they filed, just like Jolie and Miller, it's probable that they already reached a settlement and were granted divorce just as quickly. This story certainly could benefit from more investigation, I'm just not sure where else to look. Other magazines that probably covered it, like US Weekly, don't have an online archive. Iistal (talk) 20:56, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * One more option: August 1999, per the October 1999 issue of Premiere. My guess is that, prior to her Oscar win, Jolie just wasn't famous enough to warrant media coverage to that extent. For now I'm inclined to leave it as is, simply because People references a court proceeding. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 07:25, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Great find. People.com says 1999 as well although this could be yet another example of their incompetence at getting facts straight (There has been some unbelievable flip-flopping in this magazine over the years). Can you find more articles from that era? To my recollection she was in Rolling Stone and quite a few other mags around the time GI and The Bone Collector came out. Iistal (talk) 07:34, 30 September 2016 (UTC)


 * What happened in August 1999? The widely reported filing was in February. By April several newspaper articles were referring to the divorce in past tense. Then in October Premiere said they had divorced in August, but in June 2000 People suggested (but did not state) that it wasn't finalized until right before she wed BBT. I can't find anything other than that one People article that supports the claim they were still married in 2000. Iistal (talk) 01:11, 11 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The end date of her marriage can be left open with an explanatory note. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 10:43, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Nero, Moore
A couple other things have come to my attention. Although we haven't reached a definite conclusion for the last discussion, I thought I'd get your input since you've been the easiest editor to communicate with. As you might know I can only edit non-BLP articles until 3 months from now, due to previous edit wars. There are important edits that need to be made regardless.

On Franco Nero's page, someone should add mention of this 1987 paternity suit (very odd that a huge story like this isn't already included in his Wiki article). The talk page is inactive so writing about this there would be useless.

On another note, I did leave a message concerning needed changes on Demi Moore's talk page but no one has responded yet. Iistal (talk) 08:29, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I've changed Moore's surname. Are you sure you're allowed to request BLP edits in light of your ban? If so, use an "change X to Y" format with refs and I'll review your proposed edits. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 10:43, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * The change you made on Moore's page has already been reverted. It is strange that there is apparently someone monitoring that page, who is dead set on keeping the name formatted in a specific way, yet the message I left on the talk page has still received zero replies (??). To answer your question, no, I'm not sure I'm allowed to request BLP edits. But all of my contribs are being kept an eye on by at least two editors. So if I'm not, they will have any such requests removed. For Nero, I haven't come up with any particular suggested wording for you to insert. I just thought that the story was important enough to at least merit a brief mention in the article. I actually haven't yet decided what kind of wording should be used for the Moore article. I just think it is tacky to mention that she's a high-school dropout and that she posed nude for an adult magazine right there in the opening of the article. Yet, that sentence sets the flow for the rest of the lead. I'm hoping someone with excellent writing skills can find a way to take that out and replace it with something that reads well along with the rest of the content.

Lionel Messi
What must everything be decided by a consensus on this darn Encyclopedia? It does not need to be discussed as his surname (which is blatantly Italian) is also a word (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/messi#Italian). It does not tarnish the identity of the article, so why does it need to be removed? You didn't even ask me if it was correct, you just removed it. Kő Cloch (talk)


 * Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The Italian pronunciation is irrelevant for a player who is neither Italian nor has ever even played in Italy. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 15:57, 20 February 2017 (UTC)


 * He has Italian ancestry, also why would UEFA be considered an unreliable source? Mate what you're saying is that if his mother came from another planet to his dad, you would only considering him to solely from one planet, forgetting that he would be an Earthling? Kő Cloch (talk)


 * His ethnic background isn't relevant. He has no ties to Italy whatsoever. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 16:25, 20 February 2017 (UTC)


 * You err contradicted yourself here when you said "he has no ties to Italy whatsoever", which you and I both know is not true, while you said his ethnic background isn't relevant, saying afterwards that he doesn't have Italian in him at all is mad!? In truth, he is probably more ethnically Italian than anything else. Surely though if his ethnic background wasn't relevant, they would not choose to tell the reader where his father and mother's origins lie? Kő Cloch (talk)


 * Again, his ancestry is irrelevant. Messi is a dual Argentine-Spanish national and resident, thus the Spanish IPA transcription is applicable. Any other language is not. But I'm fast losing interest in this topic, so do as you see fit. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 17:10, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

List of men's association football players with 500 or more goals
Hi, mind if I ask you why Soccerway is a valid source while UEFA.com (which is organized by the Union of European Football Associations) is not? Hurrygane (talk) 15:58, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Hurrygane, as I stated in my edit summary, the RSSSF ranking was last updated in January 2016, so the sources provided need to cover all goals scored since then. UEFA only covers the current season. Prayer for the wild at heart (talk) 16:09, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
