"The Taming of Chance" was nominated for the Modern Library's top 100 best non-fiction books - it clearly meets the threshold for a work important enough to have on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.81.129.193 (talk) 13:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing that out, but a link to verify the information would also have been helpful. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 09:25, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Insulting edit summaries

Hello, Bueller 007. Would you please not gratuitously insult me in edit summaries, as you did here? Your comment "you are completely clueless" is unacceptable. Such insults are contrary to Wikipedia's rules, can potentially lead to you being blocked, and they certainly are not going to change my mind. I reverted your recent edits because they unconstructively and inappropriately removed EBSCO attribution. I added EBSCO attribution for a reason, which is that I am supposed to add it per rules under which I gained EBSCO access in the first place. I do not agree to its removal.

Stop using all caps and taking ownership of articles. You have duly been reported for your rude edit warring. Regards. Bueller 007 (talk) 21:50, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you insult me gratuitously ("you are completely clueless") in a way that violates Wikipedia's rules and then you complain that I am being rude? Really? Can you please stop such nonsense and actually discuss the article instead? I will be quite happy to change the citation style of the article; I'm sure we can reach agreement on that (but note that per WP:CITE, "If an article already has citations, preserve consistency by using that method or seek consensus on the talk page before changing it" and per WP:CITEVAR, "it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor"; the first "major contributor" in this case is me). I do not agree to removal of EBSCO attribution for content added from EBSCO. For you to remove it was inappropriate and unconstructive. Please don't repeat that.
