Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Burr–Hamilton duel with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message. $(talk to me) (My edits)$ @ 04:04, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry I forgot an edit summary because I first posted a lengthy explanation of my impending edit on the article's talk page. If you still feel my removal was in error after reading my explanation please feel free to re-add it, but I strongly feel it would need a better citation. UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 08:25, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, go ahead and ignore the warning. However, you should have added an edit summary of "see talk page", just in case. ;-)--I dream of horses If you reply here, please ping me by adding to your message. $(talk to me) (My edits)$ @  22:11, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah that was my bad, thanks for the reminder, will make sure to do that in future! :) UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 22:53, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Huh? Leslie Kong died in 1971 of a heart attack, you special snowflakes interpret everything as a threat, don't you? That must really suck, too — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.185.227 (talk) 23:40, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Well if I am wrong would you care to enlighten me as to your reason for mentioning him?UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 23:51, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

He died from heart attack in 1971, so if you ask me if someone killed him I would point to His Majesty. Do you suppose Haile Selassie is threatening to that person — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.185.227 (talk) 00:24, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You have not answered my question. What was your reason for mentioning Leslie Kong? UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 00:34, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, I wasn't talking to you. If I mention the name of anyone who lived well before my time as a historical figure John Foster Dulles, the Queen Mother or Claude Debussy, will you say I am threatening you because they died?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.58.185.227 (talk) 02:04, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Removal of "Answering a Critic' section of Therese Neumann bio.
From user JSal Hello , In regards to “Answering a Critic,” and Albert Vogel’s credentials for writing authoritatively about her. He was not a casual personal friend of the subject. As a US Army intelligence officer attached to Patton’s Third army he was actively working in Bavaria at the end of WWII and was able to renew his acquaintance with Therese (first started in 1927) and her family as well as learn firsthand of his uncle’s public execution by the Gestapo.

After returning to the United States he made return visits with his wife and three trips with his son who drove him all over Bavaria when he was gathering information for this book. Quoting from the introduction of his book “Altogether, I have interviewed an untold number of people over a span of roughly forty years. My standards have been set very high; as mentioned, no one was ever interviewed unless he actually knew Therese personally. Included in this group are Cardinal Faulhaber of Munich, Archibishop Andreas Rohracher of Salzburg, Abbot Willibald Mangraf of Vilshofen, and many priests, professors, educators and lay people of all walks of life. The end result of the hundreds of hours of hard work is included in this book.”

Are all biographers completely and automatically disqualified because they knew their subject personally?

As to “shortening” the story referenced in “Answering a Critic”. I don’t see how it could be shortened and retain context.

And as far as writing the entry in the proper format for Wikipedia, I make no claim whatsoever for knowing how to do that. Perhaps as an editor you could do that? Unless you are claiming that Albert Vogel is absolutely not qualified to write about Therese Neumann would you please revert your edit and style it properly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.117.244 (talk) 16:19, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It is a problem of due weight. Just because something is properly sourced does not mean it belongs. We are supposed to represent view points with their relative acceptance within the relevant areas of academia. So a quote by a family friend that just emphasizes her personal rejection of the professional opinion of critics does not deserve the same weight, or amount of space, as the opinions of medical professionals. Anecdotes that serve no purpose other than to cast doubt upon the accepted consensus of medical professionals are at odds with core Wikipedia policy, especially considering that her claims relate directly to medical issues, an area on Wikipedia with the most stringent requirements for sourcing. A few policy pages that would be worth reading are WP:UNDUE, WP:FRINGE, WP:MEDRS and WP:EXCEPTIONAL. Also, the appropriate place to discuss changes to an article is on that article's talk page, where, as per WP:ONUS "The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content."UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 00:11, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

"Gregg York"
Hi, UnequivocalAmbivalence. I saw your comments in Talk:Fred Hampton about a quote that M. Wesley Swearingen has attributed to someone named "Gregg York". I have had multiple discussions about that same quote over the past few years (see User talk:Location and User talk:Gamaliel/Archive 25) after attempting to remove it from Fred Hampton, COINTELPRO, and Federal Bureau of Investigation. It looks like you were successful in removing it from Fred Hampton, so I was wondering if you be supportive of me attempting to remove it from the other two again. Cheers! -Location (talk) 04:30, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring on Misty Snow
You've got to stop the edit warring. If you think there are references that refer to her as a politician, bring that up in the talk page. Stop the edit war. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 05:24, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should heed your own advice as you have reverted two separate editors in your repeated attempts to assert your point, so calling someone else out for edit warring strikes me as quite hypocritical. UnequivocalAmbivalence (talk) 09:06, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Stephanie Lazarus appellate issues
A belated thanks for doing this, as it was fixable by editing.

I thought at first that perhaps someone else, an overeager law student or associate of the Lazarus family, had added this, but no, I was the guilty party. And on review, I saw your point—that as worded its connection to the sentence ahead of it was unclear.

So, I dived into the sources again, and found that indeed Tickle had cited Maestas as the controlling authority for his argument that the trial judge had been entirely off base allowing the evidence obtained under the warrant via a rote (to him) application of the good-faith exception. I just had cited the wrong pages of the brief.

So, I:
 * found a better version of the brief online than the scribd version,
 * swapped it in to the footnote,
 * changed the page numbers in that footnote,
 * and reworded the sentence in question so it's clear that the article is referencing Trickle's brief and not just up and saying this.

I think it is thus a better article. Thanks for making me make the improvements! Daniel Case (talk) 05:36, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
