Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to The InBetween, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Tom Thumb (disambiguation) are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add an entry if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 01:42, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are other "Tom Thumb" entries that themselves 'do not link to articles!!!

However, in some of those entries there are links to related existing articles.

My entry had such a link.

And it was apropos to the "Tom Thumb" calculator in my disambiguation entry.

By your reasoning, the "Tom Thumb" entries in which "Tom Thumb" is not a link should all be removed.

In short, I strongly disagree not only with your logic, but the removal of my entry. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 02:19, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your entry linked to Salt Lake City; there is no mention of 'Tom Thumb', 'Summit International Corp', or 'calculator' in that article. If a reader clicked on the link hoping for more information on the calculators, they would be disappointed. That's why it was removed. If the calculator or the company is notable, you could add the information to an existing article or write a new article.

I also removed other articles that didn't mention Tom Thumb. If there are still inappropriate entries on Tom Thumb (disambiguation), feel free to remove them.

Finally, when responding to someone on your talk page, you need to ping them by starting the message with something like {{ping|Leschnei}}. Otherwise they will have no idea that you have responded. I ran across your reply by chance. Leschnei (talk) 22:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies about the link, I was probably thinking of another edit/correction I did.

I am also not familiar with this form of communiqué and do not understand the concept of "to ping them."

I have also noticed some changes in what, and how, information is being handled here at Wikipedia. As a result, I am no longer making changes nor edits. And I'm not sure about even doing any "Talk" pages. I've gotten tired about having to haggle over or defrnd corrections/edits. It seems people here are not that concerned about facts nor sentence structure nor grammar. And many arguments on the "Talk" pages also seem more about ego than keeping/making Wikipedia encyclopedic.

Good bye and good riddance. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 23:04, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think translations of foreign movie titles should be included in any actors film list. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 00:28, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rich Rundles

Firstly, you ask why your original entry was deleted. I'm guessing it's because they don't like the term "natural causes" for some reason, and I'm speaking from personal experience. You also say that you find it hard to believe that he died from natural causes so young. The best way I can explain it is although it's rare in younger people it can happen at ANY age. It's usually because of a genetic abnormality that is not detected until it's too late i.e. after death (autopsy). Editrite! (talk) 08:44, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know "death" can occur at any age; however, according to medical definitions, "natural causes" is a "manner of death" not a "specific cause." It is also defined as "a result of the aging process" implying 'old age.' And I'm probably not the only one who doesn't consider 38 years of age to be "old age."

If an autopsy finds, like you said, even a "genetic abnormality" as either the cause or being a contributing factor, then that should be listed as COD --- it's more specific and factual.

Also, I, too, speak from personal experience not only based on the deaths of my parents, but also on the fact that my father taught medical and nursing courses at the collegiate level for nearly 25 years.

Plus, it seems to me that Wikipedia has undergone a change this past year (2019). And I don't feel it's a positive change. That's why I stopped editing and only 'do' the "Talk" page. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 09:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Too Many Walls are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Barbara Ruick, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. A a s i m 04:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree ! ! !

The section title of just "Filmography" strongly indicates, infers, and implies that the titles listed are the only movies/series that Barbara Ruick appeared in.

And that is simply NOT the case ! ! !

Barbara Ruick appeared in nearly three times the number of movies/series that are listed.

As such, it is NOT a complete filmography which the section title indicates.

And, as such, I firmly think that my correction should stand.

In fact, I've made the EXACT SAME changes at other actor/actress pages and have NEVER been "scolded" for it.

It surprises me that Wikipedia editors don't like facts or things being factual.

'Nuff said. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 05:11, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
