Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Inukshuk. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Bob9999999's Reply to "April 2010"

I doubt that you will return to my page later, but if you do (Mr. Cambridgebayweather), I would like to apologize if I angered you by my changing of the page. The part I changed was the rote of a link, not deleting parts of the article. In the contex of the Inukshuk,the article was saying where Canadian Inukshuks were brought to other countries as a means of a gift. One of these places was to Washington D.C.. Rather than the link for D.C. to go to the D.C. page, I thought it more fit to redirect the link to go to the Canadian Embassy in D.C., where the actual statue is located. I did not delete any of the actual words on the article, as you wrote that I did on the Inukshuk history page. Again, sorry for any inconveniences. Alos, please be more specific with your concern of what I did wrong next time. Thanks

                                                                                                          -Bob9999999

Sorry I must have forgotten to come and mention what the problem was. Here's the edit you made. It's actually easier to see without the page comparison. What happened was that in updating the Washington link the section titled Modern usage was duplicated, the first one links to the embassy and the second one links to the capital. At the same time the first "Modern usage" section accidentally overwrote the Inukshuk#Name section. It's one of those editing mishaps that sometimes happens and I should have come and explained it to you rather than just leaving a templated message. something lame from CBW 05:32, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Danbury page

Hi there! I don't have too much time right now, but I did notice you added the John Oliver story to Danbury's wikipedia page - if you look at the history of the page, those sections have been created and reverted multiple times. I'd look over which edits got reverted and make sure you're not doing the same thing. Thanks! OfficerCow (talk) 22:10, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Yes, I did notice the previous edits - in those instances I think they were rightfully removed; they included way too much unnecessary information (who said what, awards John Oliver has won, details about the sewage plant, etc) and were flagged for being "irrelevant". In my edit I focused on the unique relationship between Danbury and Oliver. I think it can be reasonably accepted that the reference overall is meaningful and noteworthy using the the bulleted guidelines from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%22In_popular_culture%22_content

1) Has [John Oliver] acknowledged the existence of the reference? Yes, in multiple segments of his show, and in interviews after he received an Emmy.
2) Have multiple reliable sources pointed out the reference? Yes, including major news networks and the mayor of Danbury.
3) Did any real-world event occur because of the cultural element covered by the reference? Yes, $55,000 in charitable donations and a sewage plant renaming.
4) Did the referencing material significantly depend on the specific subject? Yes, Oliver was very explicit when talking about Danbury.

Absolutely! That seems like a fine edit to put in. What I'd say is that relying on secondary sources for comedy shows like Last Week Tonight and/or The Late Show is usually just a restatement of the primary source - a "journalist" strapped for articles knows it'll get clicks but nobody wants to actually read it. Other than that, perfect! OfficerCow (talk) 03:00, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Small comment(s)

Per MOS:FILMCAST, do NOT add actors' names in parentheses in the plot section (that is what #Cast is for).

Also, do NOT use MOS:CONTRACTIONS. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 03:20, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
