Burton Dreben
Hi there. I noticed you're the one who initially wrote the article about Burton Dreben. In the course of a mediation case, I came across the article and did a little cleanup, but I see that it has no references listed. I know you wrote it a while ago, but if you could provide the references you used, that would be very helpful. (If you could cite the two specific statements I flagged, even better.)

Ice Storm
Sorry - I must not have been paying attention - I actually thought it was removed and I was restoring it. I must have crossed my edit windows. --DavidShankBone 23:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Ashbery
I do not believe Silliman's comments constitute an 'essay' - they are to me blog ramblings. Is that too conservative? This isn't so much a matter of principle (i.e. linking to a blog), I suppose, more a beef with the content and style of the posts - so symptomatic of Silliman and his apparent inability to slow his own verbal onslaught. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Funktrane (talk • contribs) 05:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Fair enough. But I don't think the first entry relates enough to Ashbery to include. Also, just curious, not doubting, but when/where did Ashbery acknowledge Silliman? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Funktrane (talk • contribs) 06:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Deborah Gordon.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Deborah Gordon.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 00:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Lexulous editing
All fair points, but you don't seem to have actually said this directly to the editor - if they don't know enough about Misplaced Pages to check the page history or the article talk page, all they'll see is their edit mysteriously and repeatedly disappearing, with no reason not to add it back. I've left them a uw-nor warning on their talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 11:36, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sure, but this is a random IP user - if they don't know how Misplaced Pages works, they won't think to check the page history to see why their edit was reverted, they'll just shrug and add it back. --McGeddon (talk) 13:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
- IP users get the same "You have new messages (last change)" orange box as everyone else, whenever anyone edits their talk page - it stays there until they click through and read the message. --McGeddon (talk) 13:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
Dear Nightspore, I don't wish to butt heads with you and respect your experience, and am new to this myself. I am writing you because I would like to work with you on the literary dog entry, as a result of your edits of the literary dogs page. Your first edit changed the name of dog book from "Inca Dink, The Great Houndini" (which is the book's correct name) to "Inca Dink, The Great Houdini" (you removed the 'N' from Houndini); then when I corrected by replacing the "N" (and at the same time attributed the work (and this IS a published book by third party publisher), you then elected to remove the entry altogether. I don't know why the other books are allowed to have their author listed and not this one. This is factual, and I very much ask that you let both the book stay (with its correct name), and all authors of these works shoud be treated alike. Can we work this out so there is no more back and forth? Thank you in advance. Artmaestro (talk) 00:15, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
William Blake
Great. But don't just revert my edit, add the citation to an appropriate place in the article. Yworo (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Brandeis University
"Everything there is verifiable"--maybe so. Then verify it. But after you verify that Jack Abramoff wore a Brandeis hat in a movie, or that a character in a novel attends Brandeis, be prepared to see it removed again as an utterly trivial mention. Please don't bloat encyclopedic articles with non-notable tidbits. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 03:41, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Your recent edits seem to have the appearance of edit warring. Users are expected to collaborate and discuss with others and avoid editing disruptively.
Please be particularly aware, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; 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 without further notice. ElKevbo (talk) 15:58, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
