| == How I found a few references inside the Sister Cities website == | |||
| I located the pages inside the website by using Google. Navigation provided by the Sister Cities website is frustrating; however, Google crawls websites (unless asked not to) and will return hits that may be difficult or impossible to reach through the site's navigation. | |||
| Sorry I did not answer more quickly; was waiting for the discussion to develop. Too bad it was impossible at that moment—inevitably there will be a time of less drama. — ] (]) 21:09, 1 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks {{ul|Neonorange}}, I'll keep that in mind in the future. I was hoping to generate more response on the article as well, so I posted it at US Cities. I patrol a few hundred city pages, and after vandalism and NPOV edits, this is probably the third largest problem with these pages. Folks are always adding or subtracting without any referential support. Not sure what put the bee under the other editor's saddle regarding this. Seems pretty straightforward to me. Hopefully a few more editors will chime in (one way or another, I mean, I could be missing something). Right now, it appears to me there is consensus not to include the note. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a few days before making the correction. Again, thanks for sharing your technique on Sister Cities, you're right, their navigation sucks. ] (]) 22:30, 1 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::After further research, I have come across an article in what seems to be a respectable, if perhaps not WP:RS, website that has the current Atlanta city government promising to re-energize their relationships with "estranged" sister cities (my interpretation of that characterization is that no organized volunteer committees exist for the relationship in each of the two cities). For me, the best solution in this case for ] is to leave the sister city and remove the note. An estranged sister is still a sister, and, absent a revocation of the proclamation signed by their respective mayors, ] is still properly sourced as an Atlanta sister city. "Estranged" does not seem a useful note, and the present negative note does not even rise to absence of evidence. — ] (]) 23:11, 1 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Seems like sound reasoning to me. ] (]) 00:06, 2 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Interesting that you've picked a large number of 'Cities' as part of you watch list. How did you come to that? I have a number of American novelists on my watchlist—not so much because of what I know, but rather of what I don't B^€. Do you suppose there's a compilation of vandal ecology? ] seems to attract more than his due of American middle school vandals—as protest of required reading ('']'' or '']'', I guess).— ] (]) 02:49, 2 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: When I first started, I got interested in the Phoenix and Scottsdale articles (where I live). The Phoenix one was in pretty poor shape, and being the sixth largest city in the country I started to work on it. That led me to fixing its structure, which led me to look at other cities. Which then led me to the US City project. After I had gotten Phoenix into decent shape, I started to conform the top 100 US cities (by pop) into the structure suggested by the guidelines of the project. That led me to start keeping watch on them. At some point, I added the next 100, plus another 60 or so which interest me, but aren't necessarily in the top 1000 (e.g. ], where I grew up). The next group I started to watch over were articles I had done major copy edit work on. I've done probably over 500 of those, but only keep watch over about 50 or so. Then there are the film and film bio articles I keep watch over. There are probably 400 or so of those (I've written about 250 of them). It just sort of morphed. Like you, it's not that I know a lot about the subjects of these articles, but that I set out to fill a gap, then it starts to interest me. One of the first articles I wrote was on ], because when I copy-edited the article on ] I saw there wasn't an article on him, and there was a lot of info out there. | |||
| ::::: Regarding your vandal theory... yes, I think there is. For example, Star Wars gets vandalized frequently, but Citizen Kane does not. In non-film articles, the article on moon-walks gets constantly vandalized. Anyway, keep up the good work. ] (]) 04:23, 2 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

| == Technicolor accuracy == | |||
| Hi Onel5969. It may be true that the term "two-strip Technicolor" is sometimes ''mis''used by notable historians, such as AFI and UCLA film archives, but it is in fact '''''inaccurate'''''. And one of the pillars of Misplaced Pages is accuracy. That is why I believe the term "two-color Technicolor" (or something equally accurate) should be substituted for it in the article. Before I start a section about this on the article's talk page, do you believe there is any room for compromise between us?<br>] (]) 21:05, 5 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi {{ul|Richard27182}} - I think the difference is that you want the description of the process to be accurate, while I want the name of the process to be accurate. While the name is a misnomer, it is still the name. Sources of the time all refer to it as two-strip, and many film historians still use the term. Their use of the term is not incorrect, since they are not describing the process, but simply calling the process by its common name. Sort of like we say peanuts, even though they are not nuts, but legumes (peas/beans). Or calling a Koala bear a bear (they're not). The two-strip process was what it was called at the time, and the name stuck. The fact that it is no longer an extant process makes changing it's name a bit superfluous at this point, particularly since all the historical data uses that term. ] (]) 23:46, 5 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| == Canvassing charge == | |||
| Hi Onel5969 . I had never heard of "canvassing" before. The reason I contacted a few editors was to try to at least get a few people involved in the discussion because it did not seem to be going anywhere. I didn't base my choice of whom to contact on any expectation of their agreeing with me. (I would have had no way of knowing which side they would take on the issue in question.). They were simply editors I'd had contact with before and I felt comfortable contacting them (as opposed to contacting people out of the blue). Please remember that, being a novice, it's inevitable that I ''am'' going to be making mistakes here and there. But I am always acting in good faith.<br>] (]) 10:03, 7 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi {{ul|Richard27182}} - That's what I figured... no worries. I just wanted to make you aware of the principle. Probably every editor has made that mistake (I know I have). Thanks for taking the time to talk to me about it here. Take care. ] (]) 12:41, 7 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| == https://en.wikipedia.org/Mnemonic == | |||
| Good morning (It is 2:33am in Melbourne, Australia. I am from Wellington, New Zealand). | |||
| Regarding the Mnemonic article. | |||
| https://en.wikipedia.org/Mnemonic | |||
| I am new to editing (first article edit). However I have read thousands of articles. | |||
| I checked the revision history. Your alias was stated as reversing in good faith. | |||
| My entry required to be entered line by line to break down Pi for ease of reading. | |||
| I checked my entry. I accept I made a mistake with the line "592 Symmetry". | |||
| Was this the reason you reversed my entry? | |||

| : Hi {{ul|Gedium}} - and welcome to Misplaced Pages! No, that wasn't the reason. Simply, there seem to be two issues with your edit. First, it doesn't seem to fit the article, as there are no explanation for any of the entries in your list. If that were the only issue, I simply would have sent you a message. However, second, if they are examples of mnemonics, than they should be included in the ], not on the mnemonics page. There is a link provided earlier in the article, and therefore if these are valid examples, they are redundant. Hope that makes sense. ] (]) 18:39, 7 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :: Hi Onel5969 - You are correct about there being a ] page it is located under the heading "Applications". I created the Pi mnemonic myself yesterday so there are no references to cite (or how should I go about citing myself?). I believe that the ] should be included in the contents section at the top of the page. I strongly argue this point because, first I missed this ] link because my attention was drawn to the heading "Some common examples for first letter mnemonics" which infers that it is not easy to find or easy to miss when the visitor is scanning the page for a list of examples, second when the public visit the Mnemonic page; being able to take advantage of the mnemonic devices is of high importance. The contents section appears to be dynamically created. How do we go about adding the List of Mnemonics link to the contents section?

It's been agreed that the 20 cities listed in the AP's stylebook don't need states in their titles, and so according to the more general guidelines the infobox should be the same as the title.

| You are receiving this message because a technical change may affect a bot, gadget, or user script you have been using. The breaking change involves API calls. This change has been planned for two years. The WMF will start making this change on '''30 June 2015'''. A partial list of affected bots can be seen here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2015-June/081931.html This includes all bots that are using pywikibot compat. Some of these bots have already been fixed. However, if you write user scripts or operate a bot that uses the ], then you should check your code, to make sure that it will not break. | |||
| What, exactly, is breaking? The "default continuation mode" for action=query requests to api.php will be changing to be easier for new coders to use correctly. To find out whether your script or bot may be affected, then search the source code (including any frameworks or libraries) for the string "query-continue". If that is not present, then the script or bot is ''not'' affected. In a few cases, the code will be present but not used. In that case, the script or bot will continue working. | |||
| This change will be part of 1.26wmf12. It will be deployed to test wikis (including mediawiki.org) on 30 June, to non-Wikipedias (such as Wiktionary) on 1 July, and to all Wikipedias on 2 July 2015. | |||
| If your bot or script is receiving the warning about this upcoming change (as seen at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages ), it's time to fix your code! | |||
| * The simple solution is to simply include the "rawcontinue" parameter with your request to continue receiving the raw continuation data (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&rawcontinue=1>). No other code changes should be necessary. | |||
| * Or you could update your code to use the simplified continuation documented at https://www.mediawiki.org/API:Query#Continuing_queries (example <https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=allpages&continue=>), which is much easier for clients to implement correctly. | |||
| Either of the above solutions may be tested immediately, you'll know it works because you stop seeing the warning. | |||
| Do you need help with your own bot or script? Ask questions in e-mail on the ] or ] mailing lists. Volunteers at ] or ] or ] may also be able to help you. | |||
| Are you using someone else's gadgets or user scripts? Most scripts are not affected. To find out if a script you use needs to be updated, then post a note at the discussion page for the gadget or the talk page of the user who originally made the script. ] (]) 19:03, 17 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

| Your revert of my edit will remain unchallenged by me, but I would invite you to read the book to see if it needed to be supported to make the revert necessary. Erickson's own synopsis of the adaptation being "remarkably faithful" to the novel contains two major plot changes right off the bat (Marlowe was not suspected of Marriott's murder; Anne was not only not the Grayle daughter, she was also not a "misunderstood good girl"). I would also look askance at any source that has so much trouble with three character's names in one paragraph, Velma's most of all. ("Velda" as a typo is a stretch). | |||
| While the alterations of plot details are numerous, and significant to an enjoyment of the novel, they are not significant enough to me to find a source somewhere to support the addition. Erickson's point about it being "pure Chandler" is accurate enough, even if he was not saying it as praise. Cheers.--] (]) 22:58, 19 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi {{ul|Reedmalloy}} - I don't have a problem with the content, simply the lack of citation. The citation which is currently in that paragraph, as you point out, says that it is remarkably faithful. To read the book and then insert that into the article is ], and one of the few things actually forbidden on Misplaced Pages. I thought your other edits on the plot were well-done. Again, not trying to argue with you, but that type of comment definitely needs a reliable independent source.

Article review
Hi Onel5969: Please take a look at the resubmission for this article. Past submissions had numerous independent external reviews, but the remaining defect was that there was no report in the mass media about this project. This has now been remedied. Notice that the last section at the very bottom was edited: instead of "Commentary and Controversy" it's now "In the News". Most of the entries were deleted and a new one added: interview with Matt Hansen in The Week, June 2015. Here is the link to the article: http://theweek.com/articles/563549/future-americas-endangeredlanguages

RfC of interest
Hello! This is to let you know that there is a current Request for Comment on a topic which you previously commented on. The RfC is at Talk:List of European cities by population. The question is, "In articles which rank European cities or countries in order by population or area, should the entire city or country be counted, or only the portion which is in Europe?" Your input there would be appreciated. MelanieN (talk) 15:34, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Greensboro, North Carolina
I this was kind of funny , when you reverted the material back IN, after you and talked about leaving it out last November on the talk page. Again, it really is contentious, no one has argued to keep it, so it needs to be left out unless a consensus comes in and argues otherwise. I did break off a new article, List of people from Greensboro, North Carolina because that section was looking kind of, sad and braggish like a lot of mid sized town articles. You might want to watchlist the new article. It still lacks sources, of course, but at least the main article looks better. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:29, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- That is funny, Dennis Brown, in a sad pathetic sort of way on my part. I had forgotten about that discussion last November, and I guess I had the same impulse this time regarding reverting cited material. I watch about 250 city articles, and sometimes its difficult to remember what was discussed when. Thanks for pointing it out, and I will put your new list article on my watchlist. It's funny, creating that was on my list of things to do as well. So much to do, so little time. Right now I'm working on Timeline of Arizona, and after that, I'll flesh out the History of Arizona page. Then on to more housekeeping tasks. Take care. Onel5969 00:39, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Ironic that is your interest as well as mine. I lived in Phoenix in the 1980s, and live near Greensboro now. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:44, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
I have problems
Hello Onel5969
I see that you changed my changes on Cara Delevingne's wiki page. But the things I said on there was true. Cara Delevingne was actually born in 1892 and is 122 years old. She was a spawn of Satan. Because Satan is her parent she has demonic powers. Her grandfather was a Jew but really liked the Nazis and started to worship Satan. Satan asked her grandfather for a child to rule the world so her grandfather sacrificed his 22 year old daughter Johanna Hiedler/Pandora Delevingne for Satan to mate with. Once he mated with her he revived her and erased her memories up to her death. With Cara's demonic powers she time travailed to 1888 and had sex with Alois Hitler and gave birth to Adolf Hitler. She married Alois Hitler and went by the name of Klara Hitler for about 47 years. Because she was the daughter of Satan she hated Jews because they were God's chosen people. And because Hitler was Cara's (or Klara's, notice how similar their names are?) son he was demonic and hated Jews too. Hitler had a gift with words given by Cara and Satan. People want you to think she won the "Model of the Year’" award but really it was the "Mom of the Year" award gifted to her in Germany because she was the mother of Hitler. Between December 21, 1907 and 12 August 1992 she roamed the earth, invisible, stirring up people to murder and steal. In 12 August 1992 She reformed herself into Cara. Her last name Delevingne, if you switch up the letters, is Devilnegen. Obviously the first part is "Devil" which is another name for Satan. The "Negen" is is Old Dutch for nine. We do not know what nine might mean, but it's probably important. You might ask, "What about Charles Hamar Delevingne?" he is the reincarnation on Benito Mussolini. Satan saw that Cara didn't have a father for the public to see, so he reincarnated Benito Mussolini into Charles Hamar Delevingne. Charles Hamar Delevingne is laying low but soon should rise with Cara. Thank you for reading this and I hope you will realize the truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houresbob (talk • contribs) 09:17, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
DYK for Adeline De Walt Reynolds
 | On 5 July 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Adeline De Walt Reynolds, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that in 1930, Adeline De Walt Reynolds graduated from college at the age of 68 and made her film debut eleven years later? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
your deleting my work on the "welfare state"
I confess I am fairly new at this, and that my explain why I cannot find any explanation for why you deleted my work--twice. Your page suggests you try to be kind and nice to people, and I certainly try to as well. But I cannot see any reason for your action. I hope and trust you are not just deleting text that you do not find politically agreeable. What exactly is wrong with my text? I would like to resolve your problem in a friendly way. Please explain. What is the problem?
thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Academie21st (talk • contribs) 19:38, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Academie21st - Thanks for talking about this. I posted on the talk page of the article (and noted that (I think) in the edit summary). That's where you can take discussions of a particular article. If you want to alert another editor that you're talking about something they are involved with you can always use the
{{ul|Academie21st}}tag (where you insert the user name of the editor you wish to alert - which I probably should have done when I posted on the article's talk page, but I thought my comment in the edit summary would suffice).
- But taking it to the talk page of the editor is also totally acceptable. Here's my issue with your edit: it creates a non-neutral viewpoint to the article. Take a look at WP:NPOV. Since there are opposing views to the academic you included, to maintain the neutrality of the article, if you insert your referenced material, other referenced material showing the other viewpoint should be included. This is especially critical in articles which are potentially politically charged, like this one. I hope this makes sense.
- If your edit had been the opposing viewpoint I would have reverted it as well, for the same reason. I hope this makes sense. And don't hesitate to ask questions, that's one of the best ways to get to know stuff. Happy editing. Onel5969 19:49, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
