Lives of the Prophets
I've read you wrote: One of my favorite things is when I come across a newly created article made by a new user or someone for whom English is obviously their second language.. I dare to ask you, if you have time, to have a look and possibly copyedit Article Lives of the Prophets I expanded from a stub. Thanks. A ntv (talk) 12:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
- I have fixed up the grammar and re-rated the article as start class due to your improvements. Keep up the good work! Beeblebrox (talk) 21:53, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thank a lot ! A ntv (talk) 07:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the welcome
It seems some of my edits are being blanked in the Amiga article but I am citing the Amiga Guru Book and Web Sites as references. It is factual information but I was accused of it not being factual but like a facepalm. It was not a facepalm, it was a NPOV that didn't praise or criticize the Amiga, unlike the other people editing the article. I've used Amiga computers since 1985 and still own an Amiga 500 that replaced my original Amiga 1000 I bought in 1985. I would rather that if my words are found to be a POV that someone rewrites them so they are NPOV instead of just blanking them as they contain factual information with proper references and cites.

- I have looked at your edits, and re-written one of them. The exact way you had worded the sentence could be construed as representing a specific point of view, I think I have fixed that problem. If you could provide an ISBN number for the book that would be helpful. Information on that is here. The best way to solve any kind of content dispute is to try to talk to other editors on the article's talk page, remembering to keep it civil. You will find this easier if you avoid using phrases like "Amiga hater". Myself, I had a TRS-80 when I was a kid, and later a CoCo 3. Beeblebrox (talk) 05:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm still learning some of the ropes. I also added an article on Joan's on Third that's been tagged for possible deletion. I would really appreciate it if you could have a look. Thanks! ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:21, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- This article is somewhat different, as the sources you provided are all either press releases or restaurant reviews. Press releases are not considered reliable sources, as there is an obvious conflict of interest, and restaurant reviews are not generally considered to qualify as "non-trivial coverage". The sources for the LaBrea article mentioned multiple locations and had substantial coverage about them taking the unusual step of publicly offering stock in such a small operation, whereas Joan's is a single location and not noted for anything other than food. Individual eating establishments are generally not considered automatically notable. Beeblebrox (talk) 07:37, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
- I appreciate your concerns. I stubbified it, hopefully correctly. Joan's also has a major catering business. They are a major LA institution. I will find more and better references if necessary. I'm not trying to hype random restaurants. But please see Dean & DeLuca and Zabar's for comparison. It's a major restaurant, a gourmet food store, and a caterer. And it really is an LA institution. Thank you for your time and consideration. I need to go to sleep so I hope I'll have an opportunity to address your concerns tomorrow. I chose Joan's for the same reason I chose LaBrea, it's a big deal in LA. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
