Cassandra Truth must be deleted
This is a confirmed sock puppet of Censored Scribe and all the edits need to be deleted; unless the PhD in your name is just a gimmick. It sends a bad message if blocked users are adding information on the number of starving children in the world; homeless veterans, and Jesus being immortal in Islam. Have you seen the stupid shit she added to Stalin and Edward Teller?

LGBT episodes of the 1970s
Hello, could you take a look,at the talk page for LGBT episodes of the 1970s? I have explained myself clearly, cited the sources and was hoping you'd agree with my additions to the page. Keep in mind, I have had those episodes listing on that page for quite some time now and JerryPepsi removed them suddenly by stating that they did not apply to the page. Hoping for your input.

Keith Ferrazzi
Hi Summer,

You recently reverted an edit I made to Keith's page to a different version because of a possible conflict of interest I might have since I work for Keith. While I do work for Keith, I wasn't making "flattering" edits, I was just trying to undo several edits that removed the "Early Life" section of his bio and added a fairly amateurish looking sidebar featuring an image of Keith and someone named "Kekulov" who made the edit to his page. Keith doesn't know who that is and asked that it be removed. I understand that you want to keep the page as neutral as possible and as we are having difficulty finding third-party validation to several statements within his page so I appreciate that it needs to be reviewed, but how can I get amateurish edits that are meant to promote the person making the edit removed if I can't do it myself since my user page is flagged as only making "flattering" edits to my employer? Please let me know how I can have the edits made to Keith's page, or if possible, an earlier version reinstated that includes his "Early Life" section and removes that sidebar.

 * At the moment, I am trying to fix some basic problems with the article. The core problems at the moment are verifiability and notability.
 * All material in Wikipedia must be verifiable: It must be taken from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Anything from Ferrazzi or a company he is/was working with is not independent. Reliable sources are published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Common examples are major magazines, large newspapers, etc. If we don't have significant coverage from independent reliable sources on a subject, the subject is not notable and is subject to deletion for that reason.
 * I bring all of this up because I hesitate to put much effort into perfecting the photo, sidebar, etc. when I haven't been able to find the coverage we need. At the moment, I'm clearing out the unsourced fluff (where every article headline is an "honor", a local network affiliate is mislabeled as being the network, etc. When I'm done with that, I'll be looking for independent reliable sources. If I am unable to find sufficient coverage for a reasonably detailed biography, I will nominate the article for deletion.
 * If you have specific concerns with anything I am removing or adding or have suggestions for the article, please address them on the article's talk page so that any other editors who might become involved with the article can review the information. Thanks. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 00:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying the user about his/her edit on Dinosaur Train on the Talk Page. Unfortunately, the user is at it again. He/She asked on the talk page if there is a way to verify its edit and I kept saying No there isn't.

 * 1) Stop adding the material.
 * 2) Attempt to build a consensus on the article's talk page. Saying you do not understand what you are being asked for -- especially when it is one of our core policies -- does not mean you can ignore the request.

Hi
Hi Summer,

My name's Arjuna. I'm new to editing, am afraid.

Please don't discard my edit though, as I'd like to discuss it. I feel it was legitimate & redressed an imbalance in the article. The two topics in question were out-standing (in terms of not really fitting into the body of the article seamlessly; they were quite 'jarring').

Also they were quite sensationalist. I've used the words defamatory & libellous, and I think they're apt.

I think my edit integrated the topics in question better, into the corpus of the article.

With regards,

Arjuna

 * Your edit to Rajneesh is problematic in a number of ways. As two editors have challenged you on this, you will need to discuss them on the article's talk page to explain what you feel should be changed and why.

Email Suggestion
Hello there, this is CharlieBrown25 (talk) 22:52, 16 May 2014 (UTC). Since you are the most recent member of the Dinosaur Train dispute, I would like to propose an idea. Because there is no reliable source that states the crush, could you or someone you know email The Jim Henson Company and ask them if it is true or false. If you can get an administrator to do it, it would probably be answered. - CharlieBrown25 (talk) 22:52, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

A note on 74.89.93.121
Hi SummerPHD,

I noticed your reversions of 74.89.93.121's edits, and I saw that you said on their talk page, "I am assuming all of them are vandalism and reverting everything as vandalism." Assuming that this user's edits were all vandalism doesn't seem to be in accordance with WP:AGF. In addition, none of the reverts you did actually constituted vandalism, but were just unsourced additions. This means that this IP did not vandalize after the 4th warning, but merely added unsourced content after a 4th vandalism warning. This is not grounds for reporting this IP and my suggestion is that the report be removed (unless of course the IP does do something that actually constitutes vandalism). I would be happy to hear your thoughts on this issue.

Regards,

 * Edit - Never mind, just saw the edit war by this IP.  The  Cascadian  02:22, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict)
 * All of the material I personally checked was easily verifiable. There is no question, for example, that the IP's repeated claim that Al Pacino did the voice of Jacques in "Finding Nemo" is incorrect. That could be a mistake. However, making similar "mistakes" across 18 articles in under an hour is extraordinarily unlikely. Additionally, the IP is ignoring talk requests regarding these obviously incorrect edits. Two possibilities: This IP editor has stumbled upon a rich vein of incorrect easily verifiable basic information somewhere and is changing sourced material at a rapid clip to match that source or they are vandalizing articles. The first of those possibilities doesn't pass the sniff test. It's not assuming good faith, it's asking to be swindled. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 02:31, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

Cynthia Nixon
Summer, I added a comment about Cynthia Nixon always talking with her mouth full of food. You removed the comment as it was not constructive and I agree with you; it wasn't. I was just sick of seeing her in almost every episode of SATC saying something with food in her mouth and I wish she knew that it's TIRING. Then I saw her on an episode of House doing the same thing. Why must she put food in her mouth and then start talking??? She must think it's some kind of good acting technique and it's simply annoying. I figure she reads her own wiki page once in a while and that's the only way I can get through to tell her: STOP TALKING WITH YOUR MOUTH FULL OF FOOD!!! I'm not Miss Manners and I sometimes talk with food in my mouth too; I'm just SICK of her doing it in EVERY episode and when she's being filmed she's obviously planned it. It's not that she has to respond to something and doesn't want to keep the person waiting while she chews: she puts food in her mouth and then promptly brings up a protest against whatever the person she's talking to is saying. If anyone reading this post knows Cynthia Nixon, please TELL HER!! I appreciate that you don't want it on her wikipedia page (though I don't understand why you'd care) and I'll leave it off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.246.18 (talk) 02:40, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

As I found sources dated 5 months after the supposed cancellation that gave us information on casting and production,and while almost tempted to improve the darn thing and argue a keep under WP:NFF (paragraph 3, I do feel enough sources are available to justify it being written of somewhere within these pages even if not in its own article.

I saw the commercial of the new season of "Pac-man and the ghostly adventures" coming on June 9, 2014. So that means that page talking about season 2 coming in spring 2014 is wrong.

 * June 9, 2014 is "Spring 2014" (in the Northern Hemisphere), so it isn't "wrong", it just isn't as exact. This is not about whether or not I believe you, this is about verifiability, one of our core policies. I cannot simply "see the commercial" myself, commercials don't work that way.

Mayfair
I am dying to know---do you get paid to edit Wikipedia?? Please indulge me, I am seriously curious. I can't imagine that anyone would care about someone listing a few local businesses in their neighborhood in order to promote (yes, promote) their community. For the record, I do not have any affiliation with the businesses I've listed under "notable places" in Mayfair. They have no idea I even did this. I was simply enhancing a page about my own neighborhood by listing some "notable places" (a category I did not even create--it was there already, with a poorly constructed sentence about Chickie's and Pete's and the police precinct. Boring. I cleaned it up and added some more places--and got rid of the police precinct as it is not, in my opinion, a notable place). No one knows more than I do about citing sources, by the way. I actually hold what you use in your username, sans "summer." The way my entry for Mayfair reads follows two accepted citation guidelines: primary source and common knowledge. E.g. you do not have to cite a source for the date of Michelangelo's birth year since it has been cited in several places and is considered "common knowledge." Also, if I know something to be true because I saw or experienced it personally, it is considered a primary source when I myself write about it. I look forward to hearing your response. 2601:B:B500:33D:AC9B:1848:C141:41B7 (talk) 04:34, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Also, the "history" section of the Mayfair page does not cite any sources, even though everyone knows that Mayfair used to be nothing but orchards, so why didn't you mess with that section? My contribution stated that a few business exist on a particular street. This is fact. How exactly would you like me to cite a reference for the fact that something exists. It simply does. It's provable by looking them up in the phone book. Shall I cite the Yellow Pages as my reference? 2601:B:B500:33D:AC9B:1848:C141:41B7 (talk) 04:53, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

June 2014
Dear SummerPhD,

I have received your notification about the Wikipedia article about the fictional 1970s character Archie Bunker about adding misinformation to his article earlier today. Part of the message that you left at my talk page said the following;

"...if you think I made a mistake, you can leave a message on my talk page." I appreciate your invitation to correct you and I am going to take it.

I believe the edit that you are referring to is that of the section of the spouse of Archie Bunker. The edit I made to his page is listed below;


 * spouse     = Edith Bunker (1949-1980), her death (note: my edit is in parenthesis).

The reason I put that there was because I saw that you put that the two were married from 1948-1980. On the first aired pilot episode of "All in the Family" entitled "Meet the Bunkers" which aired on January 12, 1971, there is a scene where Gloria has a conversation with her husband Michael before Archie and Edith return from church. Gloria says to Mike, "Now Mike, please, for their twenty-second wedding anniversary...". This means that Archie and Edith were married on or around January 12, 1949.

There was also a part of your message that said the following;

"...you didn't provide a reliable source."

Could you please tell me what would be the proper way to cite my reference as that reference I have in mind is the name of a "All in the Family" episode. How would I put that in reference form. Please reply back. Mr. Yondris Ferguson (Leave a Comment) 14:38, 20 June 2014 (UTC).
 * The dialogue in that episode does place their wedding 22 years (give or take a few days or so) from the date portrayed in that episode. There are several problems, though. In the days before the Internet, shows were a bit less cautious about continuity (without legions of fans poring over every detail of every episode from their collections on VCR/DVD/DVR/Netflix, it wasn't as much of a concern). several years later, they were said to have dated for about 2 years "in the mid 40s". 1947-1949 the "mid 40s"? Additionally, your calculation relies on the episode occurring on the date it was aired. The episode has them coming home from church. January 12, 1971 was a Tuesday. Further, we have no indication what the assumed air date was when the episode was written. I don't know what their production schedule was like (how far in advance the first episode was filmed). I don't know if the Bunkers went to church on Tuesdays (seems unlikely). I don't know that the writers generally considered the Bunkers to have married in any particular year.

Hi. I'm curious and don't understand the reason you gave: Reverted good faith edits by Denisarona (talk): Off topic; not a minor edit for reverting my edit to the above article on 25 June. Regards Denisarona (talk) 14:43, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Oops. Sorry, my mistake. Your edit was fine, correcting a spelling error to the IP's addition. The additon by another editor was off-topic (a WP:POV comparison to another game). I've corrected it. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 15:46, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Interesting reading
I just wanted to tell you that your talk page is one of the most interesting reads on Wikipedia. I think I may have been here before over some disagreement we may have had, but I'm not sure. You sure attract some strange comments and I like your responses. The reference to Clue was especially entertaining. Hope this makes you smile, as I did. John from Idegon (talk) 07:31, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Here's the thing: People have accused me of having a sense of humor. I'm pretty sure they are mistaken. As an example, I don't recall making a reference to Clue. I can't imagine why I would. The only thing I can think of is that little incident at the library. One of my esteemed colleagues was slow to understand my position, needed clarification and I used the library's resources to support my conjecture. Sorry for the confusion. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, it shows above the birth year, but someone forgot the birth year category, and I was being useful. Do we have to exclude that category or what? --70.193.132.53 (talk) 15:19, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing at what you are specifically talking about. I've verified the source for the birth date, but the birth place is still unsourced. I've updated the article throughout to reflect this. If you were referring to something else, you'll need to be more specific. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Mi_chael Pe. Woro_niecki page
Good luck trying to win the edits you made on this page ( newly registered editor JesHelp_in revised them), especially the blog citation deletion. I believe the Woro_niecki's watch this page like a hawk and very probably covertly involve themselves in edit wars to protect their father's religious image. The W's usually reside in S America or Central America in the summer evangelizing, and I would bet the farm the location of JesH_elpin which is Chile according to the IP edit before he registered to properly make the revision, says a lot about who this person is and why they refuse to let go of the positive blog characterization of this person in the citation you tried to remove. The Woron_iecki's have very few positive marks in their favor since ABC, NBC, the Houston Chronicle, The Grand Rapids Press, Dallas Morning News and authors Suzanne O'Ma_lley and Suzy Spe_ncer exposed Woro_niecki's nature and role in the And_rea Yates tragedy of 2001. User Jos_huaWor_oniecki was already advised to stop editing this page, and I believe he continues to do so to protect that positive blog citation. You can see in the former edit war last fall (2013), the edits against removing that blog citation were tenaciously defended by someone mobile moving south across the east coast, just as the Woro_niekci's were doing at the time of these edits. There used to be a lot of firmly and well documented negative information about Woronie_cki's past from 1980-83 articles of the Grand Rapids Press. Those were deleted by Joshua's admin helpers, people who have lost their positions as admins because of other improper behaviors across wikipedia in general. These admins pretty much let JW have free reign on revising the article anyway he saw fit. It's interesting that when JW was stopped and told to stop editing the article because of his clear bias, an anonymous edit shortly thereafter added the illegal blog citation and comment. That citation suffered an edit war in fall of 2013 with the W's once again winning due to someone protecting them (I believe to be one of the former admins who lost their position and had watched this article for some time after the major revisions.) If you want to read what I believe is a more accurate characterization of this person, google apologetics index dot org and the father's full name and wife's name and you will see they have been involved in a net censorship campaign on the net since early 2010. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.182.92 (talk) 20:56, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on the Francis Hopkinson article
Dear SummerPhD, Thanks for your helpful comments on editing in Wikipedia and my changes to the article on Francis Hopkinson. I tried to find some guidelines before I edited the article, but I could not find anything useful. I will go back and take out the "our" and so forth that imply a U.S. readership. I just got mad one day about the falsehoods and misleading statements in that article, so I started editing. If you look at my "trail" you can see that I've had a lot of trouble trying to get all the references into the article in a readable way. Also, I did the typical thing of losing all my changes one evening, so I save the page after each change. It's not the best way for those tracking the history of the changes, but at least I didn't lose a large body of work. Also, I keep forgetting to put the reason for my changes. I got tickled to learn that the reference to the Bishop of Worcester was incorrect. It said that it was Brownlow North, Lord North's half brother. Well, Brownlow may have been Lord North's half brother, but he wasn't the Bishop of Worcester when Hopkinson was in England. In Hastings biography, he includes a letter Hopkinson wrote to his mother telling her about visiting her cousin, James Johnson, who WAS the Bishop of Worcester at the time. I was embarrassed by a colleague when I used some information from Wikipedia that was wrong and outdated, so I'm going to go back and fix that article, too! I think we also need some work on the Betsy Ross articles, but I'm leaving that for another time. Could you tell me what the difference might be between a "Source" and a "Reference" at the end of the article? Also, could you tell me if I should delete Hastings biography from the list of Books? Since Hopkinson didn't write the book, maybe it doesn't belong there? Thanks so very much, Fran Featherston p.s. I could not figure out how to "reply" to your comments, so I apologize if this is the incorrect way to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fran Featherston (talk • contribs) 01:09, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yikes. The "Source"/"Reference" sections on that article are a Frankenstein monster and should be assaulted with torches and pitchforks.
 * That is an example of why we can't have nice things. Pop culture articles get a lot of attention and eventually come out OK or remain garbage until someone rolls up their sleeves. Historical articles are either high profile enough that they reach a decent level of quality (think Thomas Jefferson) or end up being a mish-mash of reasonable scholarship and additions of half-remembered things someone's 8th grade history teacher said. The academics who end up here generally don't know Wikipedia style and the 8th grade history students get the style right, but botch the content. I'll make you a deal: Focus on the content and do the best you can on the style. I do not know general American history (outside of a fairly narrow slice that I avoid on Wikipedia), but I have a decent handle on Wikipedia's style. I'll check back on the article and correct style issues. With your permission, I'll watch your edits in general and offer what tips I can (e.g., avoiding first and second person pronouns) to help get you to whatever level of Wikipedia confidence you'd care to reach. Your call.
 * For now, I'm going to turn that monster into a productive member of society. Here's a link to the "before" version you asked about: . The current version will show what I've made of it. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 02:02, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time trying to interpret what you were attempting to do here. What was wrong with this material and where is the OR? Viriditas (talk) 05:12, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * We do not have a reliable source stating that vegan diets are comprised of this list of items. (If we did, it would be wrong.) Instead, someone said to themselves, "Gee, what do vegans eat? I'll make a list." Someone else disagreed with that list and tried to correct it based on their own ideas. Lather, rinse, repeat. Please see discussion on the article's talk page. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 13:23, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Huh? Food groups are fairly well known and mentioned in the reliable sources about veganism.  You removed uncontroversial information based on the exclusion argument so popular over at LessWrong.  Just the fact that you would say "we do not have a reliable source stating that vegan diets are comprised of this list of items" makes me wonder just what is it that you are smoking.

Hello, How Are You? Thank You Of Your Message regarding the article,on GELATO, The information i have provided is from a company in Australia that deals with wholesale and retailing of gelato it is MrPisaGeato.com, Kind Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.56.82.25 (talk) 14:33, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your addition. However, there are two problems:
 * 1) If you are using a source, you need to include an inline citation so that readers will know where the information came from (without having to dig through the article's history.
 * 2) I see nothing to indicate that mrpisagelato.com.au is a reliable source. The text you added makes several claims about gelato and ice cream that are unsupported and seem to be biased in favor of the business's product:
 * "gelato is prepared hand-crafted fresh in batches daily" - This is certainly true in some cases. Other times the gelato is made in advance.
 * "ice cram sic ...is commonly made weeks or months in advance" - Ice cream from my kitchen is made minutes before we eat it. It is still ice cream.
 * "(gelato) has a richer, creamier and smoother taste". This is subjective. Honda would likely say that the difference between a Honda and any other car is that theirs are "more stylish, more reliable and make you look cool."
 * (gelato) does not contain the same nutritional fats and sugars". I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Cream and sugar are "nutritional fats and sugars". Both are used to make ice cream and gelato.
 * "Ice cream has a much colder taste in the mouth". ("In the mouth..."? I'm not sure where else a taste would be...) This is subjective and confusing: "colder" is not a "taste".
 * "(ice cream) is usually served in skoops, whereas Gelato is served with a spatula". Again, not always. Even if this is true, does this make the product any different?
 * "Gelato...is hand made in small bundles and not made in bulk quantity". Gelato is hand made ice cream? When I make a batch of ice cream does it become gelato? When my local gelato shop makes a batch of gelato (with several machines, BTW), how small must the batch be to remain gelato?
 * "ice -cream is user's anonymous machines". Again, I make small batches of ice cream. Yes, I use a machine to continually stir it (much like the local gelato shop). If I use my father's hand-cranked ice cream maker, does it become gelato?
 * "(ice cream uses) industrialised pre-mix ingredients". My vanilla ice cream uses milk, cream, sugar and vanilla.
 * Yes, we need to clarify what gelato is and what makes it different from ice cream (if anything). We need independent reliable sources for this.
 * Please discuss the issue on the article's talk page, where I am copying my reply. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 15:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I don't know if you remember but a couple of weeks ago you prodded Negroes and Negro "Slavery"; about a week later I deprodded it because I thought it might be notable. I've just now created an article on John H.

Manuel Bartlett
Here You have an Extract of a Washington Post Article (Ref. as number 2 in the "References" Section):

"One of the big surprises this year is Manuel Bartlett, who served as interior minister for the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, in 1988 and who allegedly shut down the computers counting the vote during the presidential election when it appeared Carlos Salinas was not winning."

And Hundreds articles more describe Manuel Bartlett as a Corrupt Politician. If a Politician is Corrupt can't Anybody say so? Vanguard53 (talk) 14:15, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Less than Neutral? Please go check many Mexican newspapers and international press about the Controversial 1988 Mexican Election of President. Wikipedia is in danger of not being able of conveying the Truth for being too fearful of Liability sues. In many Topics the "Conventional Wisdom" is based on very Few Independent Sources, because one book cites another book which in turn cites the first one and so on. Also: I have noticed a recent trend of more "Policeing" Wikipedia, but I think it is done in a way more burocratic than with real Knowledge of the Issues. Not to Offend anyone, but worried because Wikipedia is a source almost "uncontestable" to many people. Vanguard53 (talk) 13:55, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, "less than neutral". You cannot add controversial claims about a living person without citing reliable sources that make those same claims. Wikipedia is about verifiability, not "The Truth". If you do not cite reliable sources for controversial claims -- especially those about living people -- you can expect them to be reverted.
 * Wikipedia "policing" should be about our core policies. Without these policies, Wikipedia is worthless as a source. If sources are not provided for questionable claims, there is really little to do but remove it. The burden is on the person who added the information, as that person should have had a reliable source for the information. Tasking other editors with finding sources for your claims is backwards: If you do not have reliable sources for the material, do not add it. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
