Hi Dave Dial, I've noticed that you have made a rather uncivil political insinuation about me in . Please respect ]. This is your from me tonight, and it appears that I am not the only editor that has needed to remind you of this recently. Misplaced Pages works better for everyone when we all follow the policies and try to interact constructively with each other.

African American lead straw poll

You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:African American#Straw poll. Thanks. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)Template:Z48

Civility

Please remember to be WP:CIVIL, including in your edit summaries. "Stop messing up this article" isn't particularly instructive. There's a discussion going on at Talk:Mark Udall so if you have thoughts about the article, please engage on the talk page. Champaign Supernova (talk) 22:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

  • Yea sure, except I don't need to go to the Talk page to restore sourced material or remove CN tags erroneously placed in the article. If you remove something as unsourced, or place a cn tag, without reading the sources and the source is in the next paragraph, it's like vandalism. Stop it. Dave Dial (talk) 22:28, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
    • You'll note if you look at the article that whatever source you are referring to is most surely not in the same paragraph. The last citation is about Udall's golf championship. Then the paragraph ends. If you've found a source that verifies the class presidency, please be so kind as to add it as an inline citation immediately after the information it corroborates. That will help future readers, like myself, who are seeking to corroborate the information via a reliable source. Champaign Supernova (talk)
      • No, you are seeking to disrupt the article and remove any hint of positive information. Everything in an article does not need to be cited after each word or sentence. One of the sources that state that he was HS President is in the very next paragraph, and the others are further down. Once again, read the sources if you want to make changes. ALL of the sources, before you remove something. Dave Dial (talk) 22:35, 27 October 2014 (UTC) Add- I left the link to the source in my edit summary, but you didn't even bother to match it to the next paragraph source. Dave Dial (talk) 22:36, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
        • I don't appreciate the accusations of "trying to disrupt the article and remove any hint of positive information." Please give WP:AGF a read. I am trying to improve the article by making sure all information therein in reliably sourced. Udall's high school class presidency didn't have an inline citation or a readily available source I could find. I didn't remove the information, I merely added a citation needed tag in the hopes that someone with a source would come to the article and add it.

Thanks for calling me a zombie

Mind if I eat your brain? Just because I don't edit much doesn't make me a zombie account. --coldacid (talk|contrib) 19:39, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

  • Listen Chris, I know you came to the page through gamergate canvassing. So yea, you are a 'zombie account' that came to the page for the reasons I gave. But no, I don't want you to eat my brain, only if we got parts in TWD or the new companion series. Thanks. Dave Dial (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

More Civility
