My changes.

I dont care if you change the biography. Even when I read it the news and dates were all off. You can do what you want, these living people have poor biography citations. It is not wise to trust them.

change on "red mercury"

i put that there as an alert to a moderator that there is misleading and incorrect data there. the sentence talks about mercury iodide, a known compound and describes it after the first part of the sentence misleads about it being a hoax compound red mercury.

see vvv

"According to the hoax, mercuric iodide is a poisonous, odorless, tasteless, water-insoluble scarlet-red powder that becomes yellow when heated above 126 °C, due to a thermochromatic change in crystalline structure."

no, it is not a hoax, it is a real compound called mercury iodide that has those properties. this is wrong and the compound/substance in question is red mercury, whatever it may be.

You have been accused (I'm not sure if that's the right word) on the General sanctions page

here as far as I can tell you haven't been alerted. HalfHat 11:36, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

@Halfhat: Sigh, was already making a statement while you were notifying me. I sometimes wonder If this drama is worth the effort Avono (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, after ArbCom, I might just call it quits and move on. HalfHat 12:17, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Ulmus minor subspecies sarniensis.

Hello. The source I cited at the end of these two sentences that you deleted -

Its clonal origin is (to date) suspected rather than proved, but the uniformity of this taxon makes it virtually certain to be a clone. Arguing in a 2002 paper that there was no clear distinction between species and subspecies, and suggesting that known or suspected clones of U. minor, once cultivated and named, should be treated as cultivars, Dr Max Coleman of Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh preferred the designation U. minor 'Sarniensis'.

- supports the second sentence; the first sentence was the same author's response to my query about the second sentence. The two go together. But I'm happy to add "apparent". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.32.51.236 (talk) 11:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

@194.32.51.236: Thanks for replying, I have no further objections. Feel free to continue with said changes. Avono (talk) 12:07, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

German Broadcasting Company

Thanks for your input at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/German Broadcasting Company (GBC). While Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft isn't one of my primary areas of interest, the article would certainly benefit from improvements. NorthAmerica 10:47, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

yeah, might finally be my excuse for getting that library pass from my local university. Will be firstly making a resource request for the recommended reading mentioned in the German version of the article. Avono (talk) 11:00, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Cool to follow up. If you'd like, I can provide you with a list of a few hundred additional articles that would benefit from the addition of book and journal sources that are not available online. NorthAmerica 11:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
