Edit to Haji's Kitchen page

Hi MusikAnimal,

Sorry for the test/edit on the Haji's Kitchen page......I was attempting to link the text "Eumeria" to the new Eumeria wiki-page.

If you would do that for me, that'd be terrific! :)

No worries! Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Adding Wikilinks is easy, learn how to do it at Help:Link. If you are using the VisualEditor, you simply select the text you would like to be linked, then use the live-search dialog that comes up to find the page you want to link to. I've added the link you spoke of for you. Happy editing! — MusikAnimal 21:28, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

The Story Museum

Hello,

I'm the marketing officer for The Story Museum, and was attempting to change the page to make the information accurate.

I am new to the Misplaced Pages editing world. Is there any guidance you can offer me? Should I footnote every sub-section, stating that it's sourced from our website, or is there another way of doing it?

Best wishes,

No problem, glad to help. First off, even if you are the copyright owner, it is highly recommended you reword the content (see WP:CV). Next, the content you added sounded almost entirely promotional, as with sentences like An exciting artistic collaboration turned the dilapidated building into a giant compendium of strange, amusing and haunting stories, etc. Furthermore, it is written from the perspective of the museum ("our", "we"), not the third-person. It is important to understand Misplaced Pages is not a place for promotion, advocacy, or opinions. Learn more at WP:SOAPBOX. Expanding on this principle, you should avoid conflict of interest, which may be the case since you work for the subject of this article. Referencing the official website means it is self-published, e.g. the content is likely too closely related with the subject and may not adhere to a neutral point of view, see WP:USESPS.

Lastly, let's make sure to add references. Misplaced Pages revolves around reliable, previously published information. Learn more about referencing practices at WP:REFBEGIN and WP:SOURCE.

Hopefully I haven't overwhelmed you here, and if you need anymore help don't hesitate to ask. I realize you are new and it may take some time to get acquainted with our practices. I've added a welcome template to your talk page to help get you started; So welcome, and happy editing! — MusikAnimal 17:14, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Antonio Cesaro page

Look at the page. It was a weird blend of Cesaro,m Damien Sandow, and a Diva's page. I undid all of the weird Sandow stuff on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.138.196.1 (talk) 18:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hmm, interesting. I searched and looks like this stuff exists in several other articles. It's up to you and other editors more familiar with Cesaro to make the call whether to retain this content; on that note you may want to start a discussion on the talk page. I merely reverted your edit as you didn't explain why you removed so much content, so remember to use an edit summary. Cheers! — MusikAnimal 18:54, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit to FreshBooks Misplaced Pages Page

Hey There,

The second time I changed the description, I actually did provide a reason for it, mainly relevancy. The previous description is old and doesn't have the newer accolades.

Let me know if we can keep the new one (just changed it again).

Thanks,

Hi, the issue I have is that you removed the infobox, which was well-sourced. You also reworded the lead section and broke it's formatting, see WP:LEAD. The introduction should be simple and to the point. E.g. I think the co-founder and CEO of FreshBooks, accidentally saved over an invoice back in 2003 should go under the company section. Lastly, your additions are unsourced, whereas the original content was sourced. Generally you should not replace sourced content with unsourced content. I think your additions are otherwise fine, just take a look at WP:RELY and WP:REFBEGIN on how to locate and add references. If further rearrangement or formatted is needed I will be happy to do it for you. Cheers — MusikAnimal 16:10, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

You're all set. Just see if you can find a reference for the claims about Stevie Awards, IXDA Award, and that they serve 150 countries. Cheers — MusikAnimal 16:27, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

sorry about that

Hi I am so sorry i must have done something wrong. i posted 4 beautiful pictures of the building. I may not have entered them right, I thought i was helping I am sorry Clara Sister fadia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clara sister fadia (talk • contribs) 18:06, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem. What you saved was the default gallery code of example images. Can you provide me with the links to these four images you speak of? Cheers — MusikAnimal 18:16, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Edit to Sukbin Choe's page

Hi MusikAnimal,

hello! the edit I made on that page was simply to return it to its original page. as you can read, a lot of information were posted, which I believe came from the TV series Dong Yi. we can't put something to a page of a historical figure that came from a character from a tv series. I did not do any vandalism. I just don't want other people to confuse into two different people, the one from history and the one from tv drama. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.144.103.197 (talk) 17:23, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

The issue is that the content you removed was sourced, which you replaced with unsourced content, and you didn't use an edit summary to give a valid reason why. I apologize for not explaining this to you on your talk page. It looks like a number of editors have been blanking/unblanking sections of the article for some time. I recommend starting a discussion on the talk page so that you can work with these other editors who are familiar with the subject in order to reach a consensus. Hope this helps! — MusikAnimal 18:21, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Obviously I am new..

Thanks for helping make my Max Koeck post look tons better.

I accidentally spelled Joseph wrong on this post in the headline... how can that be fixed? The extra P is sorta embarrassing.

 Done. No problem, glad to be of help :) — MusikAnimal 23:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey, don't mean to be a pest, but I have an old political cartoon of him, but I am too new to post photos. Could you grab it and post it up? It is at the link below:

Thanks!

No worries, check your talk page where I've discussed this. We'll talk there from here on out. Cheers! — MusikAnimal 00:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Reference

I take the point, you need more context to relate the subject matter ans reference. My point is this text, like the currently named dasam granth is also in general contradictory of sikh philosophy as per the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. However, the article is currently making unsubstantiated claims- so what do we do? On a broader point even following the good practice laid out in the policy, the articles can atill be biased. For example, common western academia may unintentionally mistake the strength of the argument for climate change. Jattnijj (talk) 05:13, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
