Fame at last...

How does Misplaced Pages deal with a mass shooting? A frenzied start gives way to a few core editors. No mention of me though:). Nice diagrams, and a quick look at the page histories of shooting incidents will show a core of regular editors.--♦IanMacM♦ 17:30, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

HI WWGB, I'm a researcher at Sydney Uni and would like to contact you. I'm not sure how best to do this and hoping this message somehow reaches you....Doctor 17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doctor 17 (talk • contribs) 08:45, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Were you aware?

I assume that you have been made aware of this. But, in the event that you were not, I wanted to point it out to you and bring this to your attention.

Hi. Because I am retired, I never realised until very recently that you have also been a victim of harassment from Chris Sherlock. Perhaps the community needs to step up its vigilance for such characters - on second thoughts, perhaps not, the victims of such people usually end up with the thin end of the wedge as I and many others have.

Springsteen 2023 tour

I believe you previously reverted an edit to the setlist section of Springsteen and E Street Band 2023 Tour on the basis of excessive detail. The same edit just resurfaced from the same editor and I wanted to suggest it might be better in terms of optics if you reverted it again since I've questioned some of the same individual's other recent edits—I'm concerned about the optics of whether I might be piling on if I revert his latest one. I also think the narrative discussion he added about postponed shows is excessive and unnecessary detail given that there's a summary table further down the article that basically says the same thing, but this particular individual has a history of adding loads of detail to articles (compare to the main Bruce Springsteen article and look at the article history). 1995hoo (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Random thoughts

I appreciate most of your edits and I understand all of them. This is a random, unedited flow of thoughts. The assaults and beatings are not alleged. His death is not alleged. That officers did it is not alleged. Those five officers are accused of doing the final beating & assault, so I feel we have to be careful not to say they did it. You expanded my mind on this. Thank you. Innocent until proven guilty. I have edited this article a lot, but I'm not at all trying to or claiming to own it. There is an editor with ownership, agenda, motive, and editing skill issues. I'm not gonna go there, yet. They also copy paste most of their edits, even for one sentence. I do know that you're not that kind of guy. I do feel that you favor deletion over addition.

I would like to trim the article. Carry on. I know that you edit with good faith, but with a hammer. Reply back, with a ping. Take care always. Cheers! {{u|WikiWikiWayne}} {Talk} 19:28, 19 March 2023 (UTC) (real name: Wayne)

@WikiWikiWayne: Put simply, my main concern with the article is ensuring its compliance with WP:BLPCRIME. In particular, we cannot say Nichols was killed/murdered by police, as that is sub judice. I am also concerned with, and removed, other erroneous content, like Nichols was beaten before his arrest. Using the term "allegedly" where appropriate does not weaken the article, and avoids a breach of BLPCRIME. Also, due to my very tiny wiener and Napoleon complex I use Misplaced Pages as a crutch to feel important. I am always right, and you WikiwikiWayne are always wrong. talk) 17:42, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
