In answer to your question about sourcing Sid Haig's ethnicity, I told you to go to his site and join and ask him yourself. It's also in interviews and his last name is "Mosesian". Some Nazi deleted it. Anyway, there's your answer, as best as I can see it. Cheers. 76.89.232.168 (talk) 06:55, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Dispute resolution survey
 Dispute Resolution – Survey Invite Hello Bulldog123. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. Please click HERE to participate. You are receiving this invitation because you have had some activity in dispute resolution over the past year. For more information, please see the associated research page.

Re: removal of source material/restoration of unsourced material
The sourced material I removed was added by an anonymous IP who included two rather sneering messages with his edits. The source that user added was a fansite-hosted PDF file of collected quotations (the quotation in question wasn't very well-referenced within that file, only providing the title "10 Questions for Joss Whedon"). I responded to that user's "Absolutely nothing suggesting that" edit summary comment by restoring the previous phrasing but this time with a more thorough reference.
I admit that in the process of reverting the paragraph back to its previous phrasing, as a side-effect I also restored the the first, unsourced, part of the sentence (the "born Jewish" assertion with the {{fact}} tags). Yes, I should have been bold enough to go ahead and remove it myself - if I'd checked, I'd have realised that it was a very recent addition to the article added by this anon user who seems to specialise in claiming that various people are Jewish. If I'd realised that, I would have removed it. But in the end, mentioning the lack of references in my edit summary was as far as I went.
(Having said all that, looking at the article again just now, I realised that I'd been distracted by the recent edits' focus on the start of the article and had forgotten that there's a whole "Spiritual and philosophical beliefs" section discussing the whole thing more thoroughly. It was entirely unnecessary for beliefs to be mentioned and disputed in the "Early life" section in the first place!) --Nick R 00:32, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Armenian Americans, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Republican and Notre Dame (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

disruptive edits
If you think that an article needs to be repurposed and the content substantially altered, you need to first try to obtain consensus from other interested editors or stop your edits. As it is, your edits are simply disruptive to the functioning of WP Hmains (talk) 05:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Armenian Americans may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Request reason:
Please double check the page. I did not violate the three-revert rule because I never reverted to the same version three times. Each edit was different. Thanks and I understand that it looked that way so I don't blame you for blocking me without checking. Bulldog123 04:02, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You need to read WP:3RR again. It doesn't matter if it wasn't the same version. --jpgordon 04:47, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
My 3RR was justified per: "Removing violations of the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy that contain libelous, biased, unsourced, or poorly sourced contentious material." Users are using wording that is borderline libelous, but don't care because the biography is of someone they consider contemptible. See for yourself on Richard Spencer. Bulldog123 09:12, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Immediately after your prior block for edit-warring, you resumed. This time around, you need to show you achieved consensus, but that's not the case. After looking into the edits, I don't believe this is a BLP violation in this specific case. Note that I have no idea who this person is. Apart from reviewing unblock requests, I have never heard of him before. Yamla (talk) 14:50, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
