Greetings! I noticed you added Find A Grave as a source to Margaret Hamilton (actress). In case you weren't aware of its status as a source, I figured I'd point you here. Cheers, and happy editing! 🖖ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 04:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The headteacher has recently changed in our school (JHGS) and I would like to make this change. His name is Cameron Phillips so you can Change it if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:3B68:9500:FDE0:803B:C9AD:60F4 (talk) 21:11, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It will be changed when there is a reliable, published source that makes the change verifiable – and not before. General Ization ^Talk 21:13, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to add correct information but you reverted it several times. I did use one as a joke but the rest where valid. After all I go to this school and you live in America 2A02:C7D:3B68:9500:FDE0:803B:C9AD:60F4 (talk) 21:27, 9 May 2016 (UTC)Anonymous[reply]

Yes, it's a shame; when you establish a reputation for yourself by making unsourced, false and/or "joke" edits, other folks will stop taking you seriously as a Wikipedia editor. Once again, we rely on published sources, not on unsourced editing by individual students of a school. General Ization ^Talk 21:30, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to seem stupid but I just wanted to update the information but the change happened last week I don't know where a cite for this information would be and I doubt there is one, but this is incorrect information on Wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:3B68:9500:FDE0:803B:C9AD:60F4 (talk) 21:39, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When the information is published, it can be updated here with a citation that shows where the change can be verified. See the links in my comments above. General Ization ^Talk 22:10, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Minnie Driver expressed frustration, through twitter, that her place of birth as shown on Wiki was incorrect. She provided me with the correct information: Middlesex Hospital, on Mortimer St in Fitzrovia, London. I was attempting to edit the page with the correct information. Please allow me to do so Regards Ian — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herrbartlet (talk • contribs) 21:16, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Herrbartlet: I rather doubt that Minnie Driver has spent a moment agonizing about how her birthplace appears on Wikipedia, but if Minnie would like to submit a request that her article be changed (along with sufficient information to establish that it is actually her), she can do so here. In the mean time, we will continue to rely on published sources for the information that appears in the article; those cited sources (in this case the UK Office for National Statistics) state she was born at Middlesex Hospital in St. Marylebone. General Ization ^Talk 21:20, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No place for me to respond to your wholly flawed and conceited assumption that the subject did not want place of birth corrected. Just review her recent timeline on twitter. Horse's mouth,so to speak. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herrbartlet (talk • contribs) 21:42, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to mine, I have read your talks and you seem to have a history of getting reverts wrong and having arguments about them. Just because you think you are right, doesn't mean you are. It is not me vandalising Wikipedia, but you preventing information from reaching the thousands of people who use it.2.120.170.235 (talk) 21:44, 9 May 2016 (UTC)anonymous[reply]

Since you have made no other edits on Wikipedia using this IP, I have no idea what reverts you're referring to, so will not respond. General Ization ^Talk 22:12, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking generally, I have "a history" of getting into arguments about content here on my Talk page because that is part of my function as a rollbacker. Nobody likes being corrected, but it is necessary sometimes. As for "getting reverts wrong", that has happened from time to time in more than 50,000 edits on Wikipedia, but far less than you seem to think. General Ization ^Talk 00:09, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I wanted to make sure that we haven't gotten off on the wrong foot or anything here - I was the one who wrote the satirical analysis of the vandalism article a few days ago. If I recall correctly, it was "Admins died in a fire 2". That being said, I'd like to extend an apology if anything I did annoyed you; that is not my intention, by any means. Thank you! Zia224 (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Zia224: I thought at the time your attempt at humor by adding a bogus historical narrative to an attack page by a sockpuppet was ill-considered and less than helpful. I honestly haven't given it much thought since, but now that you've asked, I still find it evidence of remarkably poor judgment on your part. I appreciate your friendly effort to make amends, but I'm fairly certain nothing you could do at this point would change my impression. General Ization ^Talk 01:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@General Ization: You're right about that. I'm actually quite new to Wikipedia, and didn't think it would cause many issues. Thanks for your response; everyone has their issues and I'm glad I know what to work on. Zia224 (talk) 01:51, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for deleting the entry on Peg Entwistle by Starhistorian68 (talk). This person is actually the Lisa Sinkko to whom the paragraphs refer! I know this because I have had many untoward dealings with her in public and private. I am the author of the Peg Entwistle biography referenced in the "Further reading" section of the Entwistle article. Starhistorian68 has stalked me on social media, and even used contrived accounts on FaceBook to hide her identity while trolling me. As you saw, she immediately challenged your deletion of her entry. It's likely she will try again.HollywoodSignGuy (talk) 03:57, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy, nakon-bot01 (talk · contribs) is mine. Thanks for your vigilance. Nakon 04:00, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, You wrote on my talk page about how I changed the style of the article for Babadook. The only thing I edited was a few quotation marks and their punctuation; a.k.a. I moved the periods (full stops) inside the quotation marks where they belong. You directed me to read the article on style in Wikipedia articles, which I did just refresh on. In the article, it states:

Punctuation before quotations The use of a comma before a quotation embedded within a sentence is optional: Eve said "He ate the apple." Eve said, "He ate the apple." Many editors prefer a colon in this position if the quotation forms one or more complete sentences: Eve said: "He ate the apple."

However, notice how each and every period is placed inside the quotation marks. It is proper English grammar to do so.

Please let me know if you meant something different or if I am mistaken on something.

--Soccerfray (talk) 23:04, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Soccerfray: I directed you to read MOS:LQ concerning the logical quotation style used here on Wikipedia. It states in part: "On the English Wikipedia, use the 'logical quotation' style in all articles, regardless of the variety of English in which they are written. Include terminal punctuation within the quotation marks only if it was present in the original material, and otherwise place it after the closing quotation mark." General Ization ^Talk 23:14, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the example you give above is a complete sentence, but each of the cases where you moved the period in the article is not, is rather a fragment; in such cases, we do not place the terminal punctuation inside the quotation marks. General Ization ^Talk 23:22, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you. Can I ask why this is done on Wikipedia? Is it not more logical to follow proper English grammar style? --Soccerfray (talk) 00:00, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Soccerfray: See Quotation marks in English#British practice. There is no such thing as a single "proper English grammar style", and the decision was made by consensus here some time ago that we will use the logical quotation style in the encyclopedia. Not having been a party to that discussion, I cannot tell you what the arguments were for and against. General Ization ^Talk 00:05, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not encourage users who try to use wikipedia to spread their own theories about the accident's cause by actually discussing their theories. Wikipedia is no forum and the only appropriate action when you see such a discussion/talk page post is to ignore the content and to wrap an archive box around it.

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes! May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography. Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.
