the last edit didn't seem to work. the reference is not showing up. --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 15:40, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah this is the very first wikipedia article I've ever tried doing from scratch. I'm still trying to figure out some of the formatting for things like footnotes. I appreciate your help.

no problem. i've created 2 articles on my own and they are kinda crappy. i think i'm just going to stick to editing. did you see the message on the talk page for the school? p.s. did you go to this school? i think my high school used to play them. we played against RCA all the time and Friendship once in a while.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I did go to this school in 11th and 12th grade. And actually I went to RCA before that. Where did you go to school? I take it from your name you're agnostic now. I got ya beat, I'm an athiest. Guess those 14 years of Christian exucation just didn't take very well.

I went to Faith Christian Academy in Goldsboro. I know aloooot of agnostics and atheists that use to go to christian schools/colleges...most of my friends from college won't step foot in a church.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I remember going down to Faith for games at RCA. Yeah I'm with your friends, church is just about the last place I want to go.


 * I removed the brackets from the NCCSA because there is no article for them and it stands out in red. Are you planning on making an article?--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 16:50, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it looks better as an acronym even though there is no article. And if you click on it you can still see the full name even though there is no article. Hopefully someone will do an article on it eventually.


 * Someone tagged the article with notability and pov. I removed the POV, but you need to add references in the article in order for the notability tag to be removed.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest looking over the info you're copying and pasting from the school's website. Remove the POV material before adding the info to the article to avoid having the article tagged for POV. Also, I'd suggest doing this on the other articles like Raleigh Christian Academy, etc.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 05:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Linkadditions
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

That link may have some interest here and there, but adding the same link to a large number of pages, especially where the info on the page linked to is not directly linked to the subject (it is an overview page of the archives), is certainly not according to our external links guideline. Please stop. --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The link I was adding was to add a source for the information on the individual pages as someone tagged one of them for not giving any sources for the information. Also, on some of the pages the external link that was there no longer works and when you are undoing the new link you're reverting back to a link that no longer works. I don't want to violate the link policy, but I think this one link is very relevant and belongs on each individual tournament page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rreagan007 (talk • contribs)
 * When I click the link I don't get any direct information, I have to click on to find more about the subject (I refer to WP:EL, point 14). Indeed, there are no references in the document, but there must be directly relevant information, either on that server, or on news servers from the area.  Hope this explains.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 20:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok well then can I assume that if I link to the page with the specific information directly instead of the main archive page that would be acceptable to you?Rreagan007
 * That sounds like a good plan, though it might even be better to use it as a citation, see WP:CITE and WP:FOOT. Then it really attributes information in the document.  Hope this helps, happy editing!  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 20:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I am here to dispute your editing of the link to the UNC Global website (global.unc.edu). Both past UNC-CH Chancellor Moeser and current Chancellor Thorp have made it their mission to promote and grow UNC's reputation as a global university. UNC has one of the largest percentage of students studying abroad of any university in the nation and is an increasingly popular destination for foreign students and professors to visit. More importantly, however, one need only interact with the Carolina community to realize how well-versed and aware the student body is of current international affairs and how important their global education is to them. In order to reflect this aspect of the university, as well as promote the future direction of this great institution, I feel that a link to UNC Global is an integral addition to the UNC-CH wiki. I would very much like to hear your arguments otherwise before you remove the link. Thank-you very much - Rmitch3

Fair use rationale for Image:Unc.seal.blue.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Unc.seal.blue.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Why do keep reverting to a poorer quality image? please stop. --Jerm (Talk/ Contrib) 23:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The image is not poorer quality. If you compare the two, you will see that it's actually a better quality image. It's also in Carolina blue instead of black which is more authentic and is more aesthetically pleasing. Is there some reason you prefer the black seal to the Carolina blue one?
 * If you read the document that the image came from it is supposed to be black. Wikipedia is not for advertisement so your argument that it is "more aesthetically pleasing" is incorrect. --130.218.10.1 (talk) 17:39, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I went back and read the source you were referring to, and it only specifies black if the seal is used to "indicate accomplishment in or on behalf of the University." That's not the use here. If you look at the other source for the blue seal here you will see that the university uses the seal in both black and blue. Since both colors have equal value in terms of authenticity and use, I think the fact that the blue seal looks better on the article page should tip the scale in its favor, unless you have a better reason to pick one over the other.

Image:Unc.seal.blue.png again
Please stop reverting. The version you seem to be reverting to has broken transparency, is the wrong shade of blue, is missing the registered trademark logo, and is not that approved by the University's licensing department. If you have a good reason why such a logo should be used, even though it may violate trademark and copyright laws, please discuss it on Image talk:Unc.seal.blue.png. Thank you.

Manual of Style (dates and numbers): square brackets
Please don't change the format of dates. Most British people and many people internationally write dates in day-month-year order, e.g., 12 December 1904. Most Americans use month-day-year order, e.g., December 12, 1904. If the article is about an American topic, use month-day-year. If it is a British or European topic, use day-month-year. If neither, leave it as originally written. Many Americans or British people take offence if an article about their country, written in their local version of English, is changed around to a version they don't use. So please do not do that.

Dates are usually enclosed in two square brackets, as in 12 December or December 12. This means that you can set your preferences (if you look around your screen you'll see the word preferences; click on it and follow the instructions) to ensure that you see all dates in the format you want, whether date-month-year, month-date-year or yyyy-mm-dd. The general rules on how Wikipedia articles are written can be seen in the Manual of Style. Rules specific to dates and numbers can be seen in the Manual of Style (dates and numbers).

If you have any questions about this, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Enjoy your time on the web's fastest growing encyclopædia (or encyclopedia, if you write it that way!). 152.2.133.109 (talk) 15:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the bit about the pep bands. I just removed the words "Olympic sports" as you covered the scope with "26 other sports," so that we don't have to explain what Olympics sports mean (especially as basketball is in the Olympics, lacrosse isn't, and baseball won't be soon). Hope that was OK! Hippo (talk) 23:06, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Suspected sock puppets/Rreagan007 for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Newshounddog (talk) 02:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Please respond to my request for clarification at the sockpuppet case page: Suspected sock puppets/Rreagan007. Yechiel (Shalom) 03:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not deny that I sometimes edit from that IP address instead of logging in, but I do not do that for bad purposes. Usually I either just forget to log in, or I have several different browsers open and I'm logged in on 1 browser and just don't remember to log into the other 1. I have looked at the talk page for the IP address and I do see the negitive stuff you are referring to. But none of the vandalism from this IP address was done by me. I did not even start editing wikipedia articles at all until January of this year, and the vandalism I saw was all from before that. I'm also not familiar with how IP addresses work, but it might be possible that more than 1 person shares this IP address. Again, I have never intentionally vandalised any wikipedia page, and none of the edits from this IP address could have been done by me before January 2008. If you have any questions about this for me please feel free to ask. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see my closing comments at Suspected sock puppets/Rreagan007. To clarify: if you want to stay logged in on multiple tabs or window when you edit, click on the "remember me" box when you login. That automatically logs you in even on tabs you have not yet opened on that computer, and avoids the situation where you are logged in to Wikipedia on one window but logged out on another window.

Second Amendment
I double-checked before reverting, but I took off your capitalizaton of "States". Capitalizing it is 18th century usage.

Happy editing!

Robert A.West (Talk) 15:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, just for your information, "Types of regulation" is correct. English does not inflect adjectives and adjectival phrases as would, say, French or German. Thus, "Attorneys General," not "Attorneys Generals." Moreover, we are talking about "regulation" as an abstraction, which always takes an indefinite number: Laws against felons' possessing firearms are a type of regulation, even if that type comprises five laws and twenty administrative rules.

Again, Happy editing!

Your revisions to the Earth page
While I'm sure you meant well, your revisions to the image arrangement on the Earth page led to some issues on my browser. Aligning the image with the table resulted in an ugly displacement in my browser, so it was not an improvement. You also move the image showing the relative sizes of the planets out of the section where the size was being discussed. That was also unhelpful. I would greatly appreciate it if you could be more careful; this page has gone through a lot of massaging over time before it achieved a satisfactory look. Thank you.&mdash;RJH (talk) 15:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry for just jumping in like that and changing stuff around. I can see you've done a lot of work on astronomy pages and the Earth page in particular, so I will certainly defer to your judgment on this. However, the reason I tried to rearrange some of the images on the Earth page was because the page looked extremely haphazard in its arrangement, especially for a featured article. I know the article is very well written, but I still think having the 2 pictures and 2 tables in the arrangement they're in now does not look very good. Perhaps the pictures and tables could go on top of each other instead of side by side? I leave it for you to decide. Rreagan007 (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it's been difficult to come up with an ideal arrangement that both keeps the material with the subject matter and still avoids collisions at differing widths, font settings and browser types. Many different arrangements have been attempted. Thanks.&mdash;RJH (talk) 15:39, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Greater Crested Tern
Twice now you have moved the sardine image from the beginning of the "Feeding" section to the end of the previous section, claiming MOS. This puts the image in the wrong section and pushes the "Feeding" header from left alignment to an ugly mid-page position (in FF3). I can't believe that even MoS dictates which section an image should be in, if it does, please give be a link.

Alternatively, and probably better, tell me what's wrong with the original position, with an MoS link, so that I can fix the problem myself without your doubtless well-intended but unhelpful moves. jimfbleak (talk) 15:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

change to unc page
hi, i readded my edits. i'm sorry, but we are now in a dispute. the public ivy part of the article is non-nuetral point of view unless properly cited. as you said, it's the only way to let people know it's a highly regarded state sponsored school. unfortunately, the wiki page is not a place to talk that up. that's more for marketing firms. here, on wiki, we just want to present the information accuratly and nuetrally. i did all the edits in good faith. you unedited them for your reasons. the abbreviations are accurate and how the school is listed in unc publications. there is no reason to leave them off. they are official and recognized by the board of governors. we can resolve the dispute a better way, than you just randomly taking the article and making how you want it. i'd really like to see it move to featured article. please note, it was not promoted to featured article. perhaps, because it was not nuetral enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holla213 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 * The text you used says "German: pronounced /ˈʃpær/", but the link is to IPA for English. Did you mean to give the English pronunciation (in which case, the text before the link should be changed), or did you mean to give the German pronunciation (in which case, the link, at least, should change)? Pardon my uncertainty on this point, as I have no expertise whatsoever with IPA but, Ich spreche und lese ein wenig vom Deutschen. I won't make a change, but encourage you to review and, if needed, correct or clarify your entry. Sorry again if I'm on the wrong track here.
 * Thanks for explaining things - it sounds good to me. Best regards,
 * The text you replaced, "German "spear", in my opinion, did have value. I'm putting that information (in a slighty different form ), into the article.

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Ruby Supernatural.jpg}
Thank you for uploading File:Ruby Supernatural.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cary acamedy logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Cary acamedy logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Or, to point something else out, it's 1/3 that the topics are actually getting promoted/demoted on, not 33%.

Joseph Priestley lead image

Fair use rationale for File:Sam and dean winchester.jpg

Dear Mr Reagan,

I realise that the article in question has numerous issues, and thank you for expanding it and trying to deal with them, but for future reference, please refrain firstly from marking significant (and in your case, massive) edits as "minor"; secondly and more seriously, heavy promotion of a point of view so offensive to many, presenting Paul's "negative view of sexuality" as a fact.

Another Wikipedia article that states, unsupported, that something is "British English" is not valid criteria or proof.

In fact, most recognize the spelling "burglarised" as a British spelling without mentioning at all the word "burgled". Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:22, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Iconization of trademark logos
Rreagan, the iconization of logos is not permitted per the last paragraph of WP:MOSLOGO. That guideline is pretty unequivocal. It's fine to use the logo in full form, but to reduce it into a tiny icon is against the guideline. You're taking a logo from it's full size and reducing its pixel coverage 87% into an icon. As the guideline says, "Use of such images as icons is nearly always prohibited".

I don't have a problem with the NC logo being used in appropriate places. The university's sports logo is not appropriate for the infobox on the entire university. That's effectively saying that the sports department is more important than any other department within the university. The various different highly regarded programs at NC Chapel Hill (see here for just one school) would be highly insulted at that. It would be akin to putting the Marlboro logo on the infobox for the Altria article. It isn't necessary for people to understand what article they arrived at, it's mis-representative of the entire university, and it violates our guideline. There's really no wiggle room here. I'm sorry. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:ACC_Champ_blank.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ACC_Champ_blank.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Willy-willy
Hi - I'm just writing in order not to get into further edit warring over the term "willy-willy". Your citation for the meaning "tropical cyclone" is out of date; after following your reference, it turns out the National Weather Service's glossary states that the term "willy-willy" was "formerly used to denote a tropical cyclone" (my emphasis). Also, AerospaceWeb notes that the term has not been used for tropical cyclones in Australia since the 1930s. At the very least, Willy-Willy should redirect to Dust devil, with a disambiguation note at the top, such as the following:

''Willy-Willy redirects here. For other uses, see Tropical cyclone.''

Official Abbreviation of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
You keep on reverting UNC-Chapel Hill's abbreviation to UNC, on the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's page and the University of North Carolina when all the data I see for it, officially is UNC-Chapel Hill, the chancellor changed it from UNC-CH, what it had been before. I think you missing that yes from 1789-1963 it was University of North Carolina, but around 1963, Chapel Hill changed its name to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Women's College of North Carolina changed its name to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro around 1963 as part of a renaming the UNC System. NC State also renamed it self from North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering to the North Carolina State University at Raleigh around 1963. Yes Chapel Hill was generally considered to be UNC, though I haven't found a record of it officially using the UNC abbreviation, just unofficially being referred to as UNC. Also in 1971, the State of North Carolina passed legislation bringing into the University of North Carolina system all 16 public institutions that confer bachelor degrees, giving that, the name University of North Carolina. Really all the 16 public schools rename themselves as part of common naming scheme.

UnOfficially
Yes in sports, general conversation Chapel Hill is referred to as UNC or North Carolina or even Carolina, though South Carolina has just as much of a claim on it, but that is not its Official Abbreviation, name, or designation! Why you put UNC above the official abbreviation on the page University of North Carolina page is a mystery. It could be added to below with 'North Carolina' for 'UNC' and 'North Carolina' for athletics, yes. By the way that column was intend for official abberiation not sports abbreviations as the heading states.

Articles
I think you are this of the January 08, 2002 article as the last word when it says UNC-CH Chancellor James Moeser and University officials are trying to phase out the "UNC-CH" abbreviation in favor of the more specific "UNC-Chapel Hill," "UNC" or simply "Carolina.  But if go to the following article dated January 14, 2002 which it states Chancellor James Moeser's recent decision to drop the UNC-CH abbreviation in favor of a standardized "UNC-Chapel Hill" on all future UNC-CH documents... you see the official abbreviation!

Lastly
If you find a later dated article stating a new official abbreviation, then it can be corrected, to the new abbreviation. I really don't care what they call themselves. I was just to trying to put the correct official information.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

University of North Carolina Wilmington
You recently moved the University of North Carolina Wilmington page to one that is not its correct proper name. I was unable to revert the move and ask that you do so. Thanks. Ncjon (talk) 16:47, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ncjon is correct, the official name is The University of North Carolina Wilmington. Please revert your move and check that redirects such as UNCW and UNC-Wilmington point to the correct name as it appears a bot may have changed those as a result of a double redirect you created.

Mystery
Please solve this mystery if you can...

On September 23rd, traffic to Portal:James Bond doubled, and has stayed at the new level since then. I can't figure out what happened.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Portal%3AJames_Bond

Traffic to Outline of James Bond stayed the same (though it was at the higher-level already), which leads me to suspect changes made somewhere in Wikipedia.

See http://stats.grok.se/en/201109/Outline%20of%20James_Bond

I'd like to find out what happened, in case it reveals helpful link placement tips that can double the traffic to outlines too!

Helm's Championships
If placed on team pages, it needs to be noted what the "championship" is. The Helms Athletic Foundation "champions", while evidently posted in media guides, are not even sanctioned as being legitimate according to the NCAA, reference the following article: Mythical national championship. The Kentucky basketball article mentions the Helm's championship in the article, but does not mention it as a legit championship in the info box. The issue here is not the awarding of the championship, but whether it is a legitimate championship being that only the NCAA tournament is officially counted toward team totals. For example, a case could be made for many NIT winners in the past as being the true champions since that tournament at one time typically had more teams, higher ranked teams, and was considered the more prestigious tournament. However, that is not the case. For example, Kentucky won the 1946 NIT, but can not count it as a National Championship even thought there is a good case for that.76.177.47.225 (talk) 01:21, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It is clearly labeled as "Pre-tournament era champions". Rreagan007 (talk) 01:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * That doesn't make it official. It either counts or it doesn't. I can form a committee and declare anything I want to, doesn't mean it is official.  If it going to be placed in the info guides there needs to be clarification.76.177.47.225 (talk) 02:38, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It's useful information for readers to have in the infobox. If you feel that strongly about removing this content, you should bring it up at an appropriate forum and gain consensus that it should be removed. I suggest you bring it up somewhere like Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_Basketball. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is useful information. However, there needs to be a distinction of the legitimacy of it. The way it is written now on all articles is as if it was a true 100% champion.  That is not the case, evident by the articles I cited and the reluctance of the NCAA to even allow it as such.  Why can't it be under the listing of Helm's Championship?  You do realize that award was given out up until 1982 don't you?  The way it is written right now, the casual reader is led to believe that those were honest to goodness sanctioned championships that are allowed to count toward the championship total.  That is certainly not the case.76.177.47.225 (talk) 05:09, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and changed the infobox parameter to specify it's the Helms championship. I don't think any other pre-tournament championships were being used in that parameter so it should be fine. I do realize they were given until 1982, however, almost every championship they awarded after the tournament began was the NCAA tournament champion, which is already listen in the infobox. And even though that's not the case in 4 years, once the tournament began, the tournament winner is by definition THE champion. Rreagan007 (talk) 05:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

The table is redundant. The table of contents already lists the years of release for each season and provides a quick link to the home video releases. Having another table duplicate information like that is unnecessary. I've never visited a page where I looked at those "summary" tables and then left the page without looking further. I personally don't find them "helpful" because they don't actually provide anything unique. This is especially true here, where the table of contents already lists dates (because they are in each section header) and quick links to any other information you want.

Hi there!

Just wanted to say thanks for making the. It looks like Michigan is about to agree to the expansion: http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/08/michigan-approves-obamacares-medicaid-expansion.php.

LED-OLED-LCD et al
Hi,

Your recent good-faith edits to the Television article, which I reverted and you reinstated, introduced some wording into the lead that seemingly equates LCD displays with LED (as opposed to OLED) displays, and your recent edit summary suggests that you may harbor common misconceptions about both the terminology and the tech.

There are three categories of flat-panel video displays in public use:


 * LED: The first flat-panel type that most people ever saw, if they attended stadium events during the early to mid-1990s. The original implementation, using an array of discrete conventional LEDs, is very expensive and only practical for screens ranging from very large to gigantic. That technology is still in use and still far from being obsolete for very-big-screen television (read the short LED display article, the link to which was removed by your edits). Although the two may seem "completely different" to you (per your edit summary), and there certainly are chemical and structural differences, "OLED" (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) is in fact a subset of "LED" (Light-Emitting Diode), just as "organic chemistry" is a subset of "chemistry", which is not to in any way downplay the revolutionary emergence of OLED tech.


 * Plasma: Apart from pocket-size products, the first flat-panel TV to be available for consumer use. The display is an array of tiny cells of gases that glow red, green or blue when electrically stimulated. Not to be confused with either LED or LCD. Picture quality specs have traditionally blown away LCDs but the gap has narrowed and after nearly twenty years on the market plasma TVs are being discontinued.


 * LCD: The display proper is an array of cells which become more or less transparent in accordance with an applied electrical field. Not self-luminous, so sufficient light has to come from behind or be reflected back through the array by a reflective back coating. Sunlight or any other type of light source can be used. Fluorescent tubes were the universal backlight of choice when moderately high-resolution monitor-size LCD units finally reached the consumer market. When LED-backlit LCD displays were later introduced, they were widely advertised as "LED TVs" in a blatant attempt to make a beneficial innovation seem more revolutionary than it actually was and to provide ample opportunity for consumers to confuse them with the OLED displays which were then making a very-high-priced market debut. From an engineering perspective, as opposed to an advertising one, the product in question is no more an "LED TV" than a fluorescent-backlit LCD display is a "Fluorescent TV" (just try finding that in an ad for the original type) or one backlit by tungsten filament light bulbs would be an "Incandescent TV".

A summary treatment in the "Television" article's lead is obviously no place for a mini-treatise like the one above. It would be nice if a neat, unadorned recitation of the suitably linked terms "LED, plasma and LCD", which technically cover All Of The Above, would suffice, but evidently it does not. I intend to install the following version of the sentence in dispute, which may clarify and help to prevent future problems, after allowing a very brief interval for reasoned objections or suggested improvements:


 * "The replacement of bulky, high-voltage cathode ray tube (CRT) screen displays with compact, energy-efficient flat-panel alternatives such as fluorescent-backlit and LED-backlit LCD displays, Plasma displays, and true LED (including OLED) displays, was a major hardware revolution that began penetrating the consumer computer monitor market in the late 1990s and soon spread to TV sets."

Cheers, AVarchaeologist (talk) 03:52, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Reply received. I like to massage my wording carefully to be as comprehensive as possible, but your rev remains factually correct and I can live with it, despite the (IMO) regrettable absence of a link to the LED display article — many readers are likely to be in the dark about what tech is used for those giant TV screens. I will install your revised version presently. AVarchaeologist (talk) 10:46, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

"US also 'ax'"
Hello. I don't want to fight with you, and I see your point with "American English", but "US also" is a very conventional way to indicate alternative spellings. If the article had originally been written by an American, its title might have been "Ax", and then the opening sentence might read, "An ax (or 'axe'; UK 'axe' only) is an implement . . . ." In a parenthesis like this, the aim usually is to express the parenthetical idea as concisely as possible, not necessarily in graceful phrases, and get on with the substantive matter. I'm not going to re-revert your edit, but don't be surprised if somebody else does.

Your latest revision also attempts to take into account the point I made earlier, that American English allows both "axe" and "ax", which I appreciate; but it still seems to say that the American spelling is "ax". You might change it to read, "(in American English also 'ax')", which would make it clearer (to my way of thinking, at any rate) that "ax" is an alternative spelling in AE as well. J. D.

NIT Bracket
Please do not change the NIT bracket back to a 32 team bracket. The NIT bracket it broken up into 4 quadrants with each quadrant named for the #1 seed. It is much like how the NCAA Tournament breaks their tournament into 4 different brackets. So to have it as a 32 team bracket just because it may "easier for a reader to understand" is false. Please take a few minutes and look at how it is set up on the previous NIT pages, even just last season here, 2014 National Invitation Tournament. There is no reason for the 2015 bracket to be any different from previous season brackets. Thank you. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 18:22, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

You are being contacted because you contributed to a recent discussion of MOS:IDENTITY that closed with the recommendation that Wikipedia's policy on transgender individuals be revisited.

Two threads have been opened at the Village Pump:Policy.

Hey.

It seems you are in a dispute. The sooner you take it to the talk page, the sooner it is over, especially, if you think Wikipedia's policy is on your side.

Just for the record, fighting over date style is one of the lamest edit wars in Wikipedia.

Vital article tags on talk pages
Hi Rreagan007, thanks for your work in updating the Vital articles pages.

 * I didn't realize a message had already been wrote here, I think I just fixed them all now, riddle, sovereignty, Sam Walton and Greeting added, and all 18 constellations removed. I used to forget that part too, in the past. If I'm unsure how to write the template I sometimes copy and paste one from an article in the same list with the same rating; for example the VA template for the riddle talk page is identical to that on the crossword talk page.

May 2018
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Christopher Cantwell (white supremacist), without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Perhaps you should at least READ the Talk page first, if not actually DISCUSS this move. Calton | Talk 04:35, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Archiving old conversations
Hi! I wondered if you would consider archiving some of the older content on this talk page, since it's now almost 200 KB in size, which is significantly larger than the suggested maximum size of 75 KB (per WP:TALKCOND); this makes it hard for users of mobile devices to view your talk page.

Quorum
I have the same concern (though of more impact) regarding the rules for a quorum to implement TBANs and site bans at AN/ANI. There ought to be a "common-sense" rule regarding the minimum number of editors supporting a proposal before there is consensus. Obviously, WP:VA isn't a good place to test that rule, and I'm fairly certain that there will be enough editors that support the specific change being discussed. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 03:24, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

File:Supernatural Season 13.jpg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Breeds versus coat colors
Hi Rreagan, just a friendly note from another editor working in Vital Articles. I've done quite a bit of adding animals in cats and dogs recently. I noticed last night you added Tabby cat. This is actually a coat color, not a breed. It does explain this in the article. Also similar to Calico cat and Tortoiseshell cat all of which are explained in Cat coat genetics. This is also a true, for example, in horse breeds. Many think that the very popular coat color, Palomino, is a breed. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know and you can decide how to handle it since you added it. If we add one coat color, it opens the door to adding others. Well, I wouldn't appreciate anyone deciding for me and so it's up to you how to handle it. After all, it will all be voted on in the end so I have no issue with leaving it if that's want you want.

 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

The Norse in North America
COUNTRIES with colonies in the Americas: ENGLAND, besides the thirteen colonies that needed the Declaration of Independence and the Revolutionary War to gain their independence, England had a large number of other colonies under their control; FRANCE, the French owned land from New Orleans to northern Canada, an area of over 1 million square miles with a large number of colonies under their control; SPAIN, the Spanish had a vast amount of land in both North and South America with a large number of colonies under their control. These are some of the countries that colonized North America.

And then there are the NORSE, not a country, and with no colonies whatsoever in North America (Greenland was not a Norse colony, Iceland was not a Norse colony, Newfoundland was not a Norse colony, and L'Anse aux Meadows was not a Norse colony). The title "Norse colonization of North America" is just flat out inaccurate. It appears that the main justification for giving it that inaccurate title is so it matches the titles for what England, France, and Spain accomplished in the Americas. I don't think a naming convention is a valid excuse to give an article an inaccurate title. Again, the title "Norse exploration of North America" makes total sense.

"A colony is a place controlled by another country. The metropolitan state is the country that owns the colony." Bold added. Simple English Wikipedia - If Greenland was colony in about 1000 AD, what country colonized it? I'm having a hard time finding the country of Norse. If the small encampment of L'Anse aux Meadows was a colony as some are claiming, what county is it a colony of … Norse or Greenland or Iceland?

The file File:Wcsr logo.png has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi Rreagan007. As I wrote, I'm unfamiliar with the whole Vital Article system. All I did was was quickly search. Searching more thoroughly, I found a bit more:.

 * It appeared strange to me as well, but he mentions that English isn't his first language, and based on his edits when he wasn't logged in, his IP address is located in Iran. Perhaps he can read English and reads the English-language Wikipedia, but feels like his English is not good enough to actually edit English-language articles. I think it's plausible that he could have stumbled upon the Vital Articles project and thought it was an interesting idea and decided to start contributing to it. I haven't noticed any patterns that would indicate he is a sock of one of the other contributors trying to improperly influence the vote outcomes. Rreagan007 (talk) 19:32, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Your recent contributions at Dexbrompheniramine/pseudoephedrine appear to show that you are engaged in edit warring; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not override another editor's contributions. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:37, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at Dexbrompheniramine/pseudoephedrine. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. RexxS (talk) 22:53, 14 September 2019 (UTC) @Rreagan007: To spell out the messages above, hundreds of people try to add promotional external links to Wikipedia every day. You might not intend the edits at Dexbrompheniramine/pseudoephedrine to be promotional, but they are indistinguishable from other attempts to tell the world about the great service offered by a particular website. At any rate, you will face further blocks for edit warring if the edits continue, and the blocks will quickly escalate to long periods. Please find something else to do.

Proposed deletion of File:ShopHQ logo.jpg


The file File:ShopHQ logo.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Talk:Shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Your unsourced personal opinions about Arbery's behavior (specifically, that it was "shady" and that he was "belligerent," when the cited source for the incident states precisely the opposite), and your entirely-unsupported claim that he "charged" someone (which suggests that Arbery initiated aggression, which is not supported by available sources and somehow pretends that two armed men chasing someone in a vehicle for 4 minutes is not also aggression), are not relevant or acceptable on the talk page.

Flag of the United States move
Hi RR, are you planning to re-propose a move for Flag of the United States? Just asking. It was weird that an IP showed up and added all those other articles to your move proposal just minutes after you proposed it. Had I known for certain that it was not you editing logged out accidentally, I would have reverted immediately. I do think a case could be made for moving the article to American Flag, but it would need some sort of proof that it was the most common name. With such proof, I'm inclined to support the move, but it would probably be an uphill battle, judging by the comments the first proposal gathered before the closure. - BilCat (talk) 08:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Btw, Flag of the United Kingdom is a separate article from Union Jack, and has been for a long time, so that isn't a good rationale. But other stuff exists, and pages should be judged on the own merits. Thanks. - BilCat (talk) 08:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

“Ukrainians”
Hi, Rrreagan007. In the Move review/Log/2020 September you stated that “heavy lobbying by Ukrainians” was one of “issues that cast a shadow over this move request.” In my opinion this is inappropriate in discussion. I’m asking you to remove or strike the comment. Thanks. —Michael Z. 18:06, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Inappropriate" in what way? Is it untrue? Rreagan007 (talk) 18:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)


 * You tell me. Which particular editors are you saying are both Ukrainian and casting a shadow? Did you go by their passports, surname on their driver’s licence, home addresses, or DNA results? Or do you just mean all Ukrainians should be excluded from Wikipedia because of their bad qualities?


 * Making sweeping accusations that members of a recognizable group are responsible for misdeeds is not alright. I won’t ignore it without challenging because this kind of rhetoric mustn’t become normalized—then what comes next? Please strike your comment. —Michael Z. 20:23, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the Ukrainian government, not Wikpedia editors. I have modified my comment to make that more clear. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:27, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * What “heavy lobbying” by the “Ukrainian government”? I didn’t see it participate in the discussion. The city of Kyiv sent one letter to the Wikimedia Foundation in April 2015. I saw that letter mentioned once in the move discussion by an anti-Kyiv editor. Is that what you turned into “heavy lobbying” or am I missing something?
 * But that doesn’t even matter. Your comment doesn’t say that. Please strike it. —Michael Z. 21:00, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * According to our article on the subject, the Ukrainian government has been pushing this name change going back to 1995, and 2 years ago the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry launched an online campaign to push for the name change. I have already modified it to make it more clear what I meant. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:37, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you.
 * Nations do what they do. Here in Canada, some native place names are restored (e.g., Haida Gwaii, Iqaluit), entered into a database, and adopted internationally without complaints. Ukrainians have also had to work to have their identity recognized and shed a colonial legacy. Wikipedia’s role is to write an article about the “lobbying,” not to do plain it messes up our articles. —Michael Z. 00:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)


 * For those who still support the Russian colonial legacy, they can take comfort in the fact that the country's English name is still "Urkaine", which more closely resembles the Russian transliteration, Ukraina, rather than the Ukrainian Ukrayina. - BilCat (talk) 00:39, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

RM close format
Hi Rreagan007

just a question (not a complaint) regarding

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:First_transcontinental_railroad&diff=1007727093&oldid=1007460145

I had I think followed the formatting now suggested by the RM system (the RMCD bot and its various life support systems).

I don't really see a lot of difference that the emphasis makes, and previous version of the RM system did bold much as you have. But that seems to have changed for some reason, and I just went along with it.

Has it been discussed anywhere you know about? If not is it worth raising perhaps? Andrewa (talk) 08:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Re: your comment in this discussion, I'd like to point you to the very similar, more-recent conversation I had with another user here with the suggestion that you'd be interested in reading through it.

These spellings actually are are English, even if not the variety of English you speak/type! Language variation!)

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Talk:William IV. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo (talk) 03:05, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Altering closes
Nor should you alter another user's post. Slatersteven (talk) 19:03, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Also, please archive your talk page. These pages are for other editors to communicate with you, and this huge page does not make that easy. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 00:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Rreagan007, can you please archive your talk page? Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023
Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 10:57, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As I noted in my edit summary at Talk:The Old Man and the Sea, through various site-wide discussions at WT:TPL, at this link, and this one, the community has found that not only is WP:VITAL essentially a WikiProject and that the banner should be included in WPBS, but that the vital banner should actually be merged into the banner shell because of the lack of relevant information. I note that an editor below has also questioned your separation of the templates; please don't continue doing this. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I also note that most of your edits seem to be openly ignoring the results of this discussion. Just making sure you're aware. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I was not aware of that until you informed me of it. I have been trying to clear the vital articles maintenance category: . Having the wikiproject banner shell in the other configuration makes articles show up there as being unassessed. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:19, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Explanation for some edits
Can you provide a edit summary when you make changes so other editors can understand why you are doing that. I'm confused by your edit on Talk:Icelandic language, could you please give an explanation as to why you did that. Thanks.  Wandering  Morpheme   20:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I have been trying to clear the vital articles maintenance category: . Having the wikiproject banner shell in the other configuration makes articles show up there as being unassessed. I was also unaware of the consensus against the Vital Articles template being outside of the banner shell or of the impending template merger until very recently.

Always precious
Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:48, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

WP1.0 without vital article
Per your request at TfD, you can use this search to find a list of pages tagged with WP1.0 but without Vital article. Frietjes (talk) 18:45, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
 * if you wish to save this list, you should do so soon, before these templates are deleted. Frietjes (talk) 18:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Another monarch move discussion
Given this renewed move discussion, perhaps participants in past move discussions should be notified. I actually did not see the one that closed about three weeks ago, so they are getting by some people (such as me). Are you in a position to do that notification as you have in the past?
