| Thanks for your contribution to the UNC football pages. I really appreciate the help because I have been doing the majority of editing for the past few years. I don't know how long you have been editing Misplaced Pages, but I just wanted to suggest that you try to keep as much consistency as possible when editing a page like this. Be sure to use the same/similar formatting as the years before and/or other pages that are similar (such as another college football team). It makes them look better and smoother. If you do think you have a better way to present the information, bring it up in the talk page of the page you are working on and multiple editors can give their input on it. Finally, don't be afraid to use templates that people have created. They save time and present information in a consistent form as well. If you don't know how to use the template, you can usually search for it in the search bar and the template's page will give instructions on how to use it. | |||
| Plot summaries for tvs/movies concise an to the point: Some summaries on wikipedia have tons of detail and some don't. If a person is willing to put in more details about a summary, then an editor should not just delete those extra details and say "superfulous", in my opinion. What is superfulous to a random editor may be a useful point of edification for another user. | |||
| Again thanks for the help and let me know if I can help you in any way! | |||
| Opinions versus facts: Of course a page shouldn't have an opinion, but if the writers of a show/movie use plot devices to move a story forward and there is enough supporting detail to explain the motivations of characters, then I think that should be in there. | |||

| == Your ''Justified'' summaries == | |||
| Hi there, I first just wanted to say thanks for your efforts in adding summaries for ''Justified'' season 4 as they were previously blank. But, mainly what I want to talk about is how you write them. I highly suggest taking a look at ], for tips on how to write summaries on Misplaced Pages. For the latest episode, I feel another editor has better summarized in a much more encyclopedic manner. The entire bit of, "There were nine likely deaths in this episode (Arlo Givens, prison barber, prison guard, two Harlan county business executives, a security man, a mob hit man, a Harlan county drug dealer, a military acquaintance of US Marshal Tim Gutterson), exceeding the five season-to-date deaths" is not encyclopedic at all, neither is "while Raylan won a gunfight for the second episode in a row". This might be fine on your own personal blog, but not on Wiki. Plot summaries are also not written in past tense, they are written in present tense, since it's fiction. Summaries should not contain excessive or superfluous details, they need to be as concise and to the point as possible. The bit of "Effectively Raylan killed his own father by trying to make his father's information about Drew Thompson irrelevant" seems to be that of your opinion, and again, is not how plot summaries are written. Summaries should not contain speculation from the viewer, or your opinions. Anyway, this is also meant in a friendly manner, and to hopefully help you better understand how summaries should be written. Thanks. ] (]) 16:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC) | |||

Hi Tatesullivan! Thanks for contributing to Misplaced Pages. |
Feedback to people that edit my postings
Using same/similar formatting as before: If I think a previously used table is useless, I will change it. If an editor comes back to me with valid feedback on why appropriate to keep the original formatting, I will understand. When I don't understand an edit is when they simply revert to the old formatting/post without feedback.
My interpretation of "encyclopedic": I don't offer my interpretation of facts, but I do take the mosaic of facts and use that mosaic to make unbiased factual observations. Sometimes editors will say "original research", but for example if a company has a decline in operating margins, the calculation of those operating margins is not "original research."
Plot summaries for tvs/movies concise an to the point: Some summaries on wikipedia have tons of detail and some don't. If a person is willing to put in more details about a summary, then an editor should not just delete those extra details and say "superfulous", in my opinion. What is superfulous to a random editor may be a useful point of edification for another user.
Opinions versus facts: Of course a page shouldn't have an opinion, but if the writers of a show/movie use plot devices to move a story forward and there is enough supporting detail to explain the motivations of characters, then I think that should be in there.
LAST: if an editor disagrees with my posts, always put in an explanation of why you changed it. I have had multiple instances of an editor taking away one of my postings and then changing it in minor details and then claiming that post as their own.
