Regarding the article "Gait Training"

Do you even bother to check what kind of changes have been made to the entry before reverting to the original matter.

This article has the most ugly format of adding references, which I simply transformed to wikipedia standard format of references using "reflist" parameter keeping the original urls the same.

If you have no idea about a particular text or field kindly let experts on that field handle it properly. Kindly stop your vandalism and only modify articles that you have expertise in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.23.121 (talk) 13:38, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I apologize, I missed that one since unlike all your other edits, it didn't involve adding an self published source as a ref. I fixed it up. --CutOffTies (talk) 15:05, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

I apologize too for being a bit harsh and thanks for fixing it. I agree my edits sometimes do involve self published source, but its only for those pages where the wikipedia content seems too far away to give a layman even a basic outlook towards the topic. I mean some topics go so much close to the tree that one looses sight of the forest. Being an expert in the subject of Orthopedics I request you to read atleast a few lines of the target page before reverting to the original. It is all in good faith to provide a better view to the readers of wikipedia. Wherever possible I try to add information to existing content but it seems simple language is not something that meets wikipedia standards. Just my two cents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.40.59 (talk) 20:58, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Dick Beardsley Foundation

I have the rights to copy from our website. Just leave Dick's wikipedia page alone. The facts about the foundation that I removed were false. I didn't put them there, not sure who did. What I am putting up now is our mission statement. Back off —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.41.234.227 (talk) 21:51, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Again, leave information on Dick's page alone. What was there about the foundation was incorrect and inaccurate, hence I corrected it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Precious2006 (talk • contribs) 22:08, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: my edits to Telluride, CO

Hi CutOffTies, You want editors to leave tacky red, dead links to WP articles? seriously? Why? In any other venue, we publish the article first, then link to it. If it is official WP policy to encourage such ridiculous activity, you are the first to ever complain. Jack B108 (talk) 03:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you have a problem with the editing guideline at wp:redlink. It makes a lot of sense to me, given that we are working on such a fluid and dynamic project. Also, since the term appears in other articles [1], I hope that the redlink encourages another editor to create the article. --CutOffTies (talk) 08:00, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Brilliant edit summary

...an electrical component? [2] Nice work. The Interior(Talk) 08:14, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

hi, I believe the link that i provided is not a blog not even a fansite and not just a personal web page. I am an Orthopedic Surgeon in full capacity and take pride in letting people know about some terms in simple language. And I am not misleading visitors in any manner. If you could take the pains to read and understand the contents of the target pages and then do the revisions, it would be more appropriate to maintain the fluidity of the wikipedia concept. By blindly reverting changes made by people even without knowing the basics of the subject you are preventing valuable additions. Wikipedia is viewed more by normal non-medical people who find it very difficult in terms of the medical jargon used extensively.

So if I provide a link to a simple but authoritative source there shouldnt be a problem. After all its not some random ramblings of a lay person. It comes from an accomplished health writer. Wikipedia is not just about AAOS and all other brandable websites. Its about quality and I feel that you are not in a position to decide the quality because you are not qualified to understand medicine or Orthopedics to be specific. So it is my keen request to let some qualified person in the subject do the judgement and you can continue to edit the page that YOU know personally about. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.183.29.79 (talk) 09:55, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The site is running on wordpress, has entries, and a "blogroll". It sure seems like a blog. Please read #11 of external links to avoid. They must be written by a recognized authority: "...except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc, controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people"?

How are we supposed to know that you are not just a health writer trying to be a webmaster and SEO expert? There is nothing to verify. I will continue to remove these links and if necessary, report your Orthopedic Doctor network of sites to the Spam Wikiproject. This is an encyclopedia, not a web directory. Thank you. --CutOffTies (talk) 14:24, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Olympia

I notice you have removed text I wrote from the Olympia Washington page. The text you took out has regional significance for those of us with interst in visual art, describes a public resource in the Olympia area, it adds to general awareness of what is here to see, and it should be restored. Again. I would appreciate your explaining what motivates the change, and why you remoived it a second time? Seems presumptuous and unwarranted. Your talk page indicates you live in Virginia? I don't know what your relationship to Olympia is, maybe you lived here once....and it looks like your main focus area is music. Please remember, some of us are more interested in visual arts, and you might best keep your editing focused on areas of your real interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wild salmon (talk • contribs) 20:19, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

As stated in my edit summary, please see the edit and edit summary to the page made on 6 December 2010 for an explanation. View the page history . Also you may want to view information about copyviolations on Wikipedia, given that the text you have inserted appears to be taken straight from this website. Finally, your comments that I should not edit the page due to where I live or what I'm interested is laughable and completely against what Wikipedia is all about. Thank you. --CutOffTies (talk) 20:24, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for directing my attention to your earlier explanation. I don't think there is a need to be insulting "laughable", or threaten me on copyright....I wrote the original text and maybe it got lifted and placed elsewhere-which does not bother me. My question about where you live has to do with local knowledge. While it is true that Ecology is located in Lacey, it is also true that Lacey is in a tri-cities relationship with Olympia. One can walk from the Ecology building to neighboring Olympia territory. People who live in Seattle and Portland, as well as other places further afield, recognize the amalgamation of such urban concentration and naming relationships. If someone were planning a trip to Olympia, and wanted to know about availbale art while here, they should have access to this information. It is unlikely people from elsewhere would do a search for Lacey, which has much less visibility as a Washington city, when looking for art venues. I am firmly convinced it belongs where it was and would appreciate your positive response. By the way, I think you wrote something to me several months ago under a different username, and I didn't see that for a long time-as I do not spend much time on Wikipedia- as you eveidently do. In any case, thanks for your kind words at that time-(if that was you.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wild salmon (talk • contribs) 20:41, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. In addition to the issue regarding location, the text is very promotional and reads like an advertisement. I would suggest bringing this to the article's talk page to get other opinions on this, and/or rewriting it in a more neutral tone. Also, as stated on the external links guideline, "External links should not normally be used in the body of an article"

I apologize if this was not a copyvio. --CutOffTies (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Gibbons

I don't know who you are, or what you're trying to prove, but stop posting Brian Nichols on the Cardinal Gibbons page. You are meerly attempting to stain the image of a closed school, adding more salt to the wound. Nichols did not graduate from Gibbons, that is false. I went to Gibbons, I searched all the records in the school, he never graduated. He may have attended at one point, but was kicked out, following issues at school. So back off. I'm just going to continue to remove the link you add every time I go on the page.

wberkey — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wberkey (talk • contribs) 15:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Well if you're going to throw the book at me, while don't you do a little research yourself. WP:PERP talks about noteriety. In order to be considered, the criminal must be notable for something OTHER then their crime. In this case, Nichols has nothing to his name, besides what he might have done. Therefore by not being notable, he does not qualify to be included in notable alumni. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wberkey (talk • contribs) 16:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

It sounds like you have a problem with the Brian Nichols article itself. It has 44 citations to assert notability. If you are able to get that article deleted on the basis of notability, I'll gladly remove the entry from the CG article. Thank you. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I don't get what you're trying to prove. No one cares that Brian Nichols went to Gibbons. You throw the book at me, but then slip your way through it when its reversed back at you. Get a life. And stop harassing my alma mater. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wberkey (talk • contribs) 17:30, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

I care nothing about Nichols. All I care about is my high school. Which is now closed. All I'm asking is to please refrain from attaching him to the page. There is no validity or reason behind him even being mentioned on the school's page, he is not relevant to the educational value of the school, nor should be included in the notable alumni. Any school would wish to remove someone of his "reputation" from a list of notable alumni. Do you enjoy this stuff or something? Wberkey (talk) 18:53, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Encylcopedia editors should ideally be completely independent of the subject. I have nothing to do with CG. If you want to attempt to have Nicols' article deleted due to a lack of notability, be my guest. Curious, was the Washington Post writer who thought it necessary to include the info about him attending CG "harassing your alma mater" too? --CutOffTies (talk) 17:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you for the notation in his addition. Would you consider taking out rapist and just putting "criminal" as that isn't as much as an eye sore. Also, where did you go to high school... Wberkey (talk) 04:21, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Thought you might be interested to know that the user User:Imagefactory101 whose edits to the article for William Harrison Binnie (a 2010 New Hampshire senatorial candidate) you reverted recently (rightly!), has a few images over at Commons: commons:Special:Contributions/Imagefactory101. They're photos of men who all were in 2010 political races, in Kentucky, Iowa, Virginia, and Nevada, and amazingly enough Imagefactory101 claimed to have taken all of the photos herself or himself.

UConn

Hey. I was looking at the Randy Edsall edit history and I saw you reverted edits by User talk:137.99.252.122. Keep in mind, however, that the 137.99.xxx.xxx block is granted to the University of Connecticut and could be assigned to anyone who connects to the network at any given time. A vandal using the IP address could easily obtain a new one simply by disconnecting from the network, waiting a few minutes, then reconnecting and getting issued a new IP. So please take care when posting vandalism notices/bans on this IP. Thanks. Smartyllama (talk) 00:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Notice how it says at the bottom of the message, "If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices." I'll post a shared IP notice --CutOffTies (talk) 01:13, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Great. Is there any way you could put it on the whole 137.99.xxx.xxx block? Or at least post some notice somewhere that they're all University IPs and should be handled accordingly? I'm not with UITS, so I don't know entirely how the IP structure works and can't help you much more with this, but I'm sure you have some policy. Smartyllama (talk) 01:21, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, but as far as I know, education IPs aren't handled any different than other IPs. If a lot of vandalism occurs over a short period of time, they will get blocked. The notice is just a courtesy FYI. --CutOffTies (talk) 01:36, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Ok fair enough. Would registered users still be able to log on to that IP though? Because the IP would be reassigned eventually. Smartyllama (talk) 01:47, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm currently volunteering by teaching a bunch of Georgetown students how to edit Wikipedia as part of their class. We're sending an assignment to create a user account, and I just came across this, which I believe addresses your concerns Wikipedia:Creating_an_account#Blocked.3F

Again, I'm not an admin, but my guess is that your average college IP will not be blocked. I know high schools are bad with repeated vandalism and sometimes they may get a year long block, but I haven't seen a long-term block at colleges, and I would think colleges have many more IPs. Bottom line is that it is unlikely that their IP will be blocked, and if you are a good faith editor (or, also unfortunately a bad faith editor), it's easy to get around the block by creating a user account. --CutOffTies (talk) 01:50, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Okay, my edit summary was incorrect, I apologize. I don't see why it should be in the section "Cancelled attacks", since from your content it seems nothing more than a suggestion that wasn't followed. That said, I'm not going to remove it. Thanks --CutOffTies (talk) 02:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Stephen Thomas Erlewine birthday

Just so you know, the refs you deleted were instrumental to discovering his birthdate. Sometimes you have to use pay sites like USA People Search because, in this case, there's no handy free birth records database for Michigan (like there is for California 1905-1995 in Family Tree Legends) "Why would anyone question his birth?" Well, I'm flattered that you have such confidence in my researching abilities (as you should in this case), but I left the refs there so people could follow my train of thought. The first ref was used to establish that he was 15 years old in 1988 - which means he was born in 1972-73 (likely '73 as people tend to give the age they turn), but this was only enough info to offer "ca. 1973" as his year of birth. After an exhaustive online search, I decided to try USA People Search (the cleanest pay site I could find, presentation-wise). Right off the bat I could see I was on the right track with ca. 1973 (check it out today - the age matches up) and Ann Arbor, Michigan (his alma mater and AMG headquarters) was in place, so I paid the 95 cents or whatever to find: June 18, 1973. And I'm even more confident in this date after visiting his facebook wall (which is just as entertaining as his AllMusic reviews, btw) and accidentally stumbling across a slew of birthday messages marked "June 18". Cheers, Wikkitywack (talk) 21:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I suggest you read reliable sources to find out why a site like usa-people-search.com should not be in an article. Also, references are to support information that one may question. I don't think there's really much reason to question STE's dob. If you look around other blp's you'll see that it's rare to reference a dob. Thank you. --CutOffTies (talk) 21:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I think it's very reasonable to reference birthdays that can be found no place other than Wikipedia (for free). Wikkitywack (talk) 21:32, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

If it is spelled out in a reliable source, I still don't think it's necessary to cite it, but wouldn't remove the citation either. --CutOffTies (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Don DeLillo - External links edit

I am writing in regard to an edit you made on the Don DeLillo page, which removed a number of items from the list of External Links, and in particular removed two links to a site I run. The edit is listed like so: 12:35, 1 January 2011 CutOffTies (talk | contribs) (49,780 bytes) (→External links: per WP:ELNO.. some could be used as refs, but not as ext links)

I created the site Don DeLillo's America in 1996, and for 15 years now have been gathering relevant information about Don DeLillo and adding it to the site. To the best of my knowledge, it is all factually correct. KSU English Professor Phil Nel and I created an extensive bibliography page on the site in about 1997. Also to the best of my knowledge, it provided easy access to information used to build much of the Wikipedia entry on DeLillo and his novels. While I have not been active in the creation of the DeLillo information at Wikipedia, I have done occasional edits over the years.

While I suppose I could edit the page and replace the links, I'd rather try to resolve any possible dispute about it. Here's my position: 1. I believe Don DeLillo's America (at http://www.perival.com/delillo/delillo.html) is a unique resource that pre-dates Wikipedia, and is still updated regularly, and includes images, links, and information of great interest to people researching Don DeLillo. 2. I try very hard to ensure it is all factually accurate. 3. My site is the second Google result for "DeLillo" after the Wikipedia entry, and the site and my work has been cited by a number of litcrit books on DeLillo.

So I'd ask that you restore the links to both the general site and the bibliography page. If you still believe that an External Link to my site is inappropriate, I'd like to better understand why - I think it would be a disservice to the Wikipedia community.

Thanks for your time and work on Wikipedia. Perival (talk) 22:08, 12 February 2011 (UTC) Feb. 12, 2011

Mike Hill

Mike Hill of ESPN is trying to make changes to his Wikipedia page to correct some inaccuracies. Please let us know your concerns outside the brief comments made on your edits.

Tranghamm (talk) 14:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

The content of this encyclopedia details a subject's notability reflected by citations in third party reliable sources. Wikipedia is not a place to host a résumé, or otherwise promotional material. I encourage you to read what Wikipedia is not.

Furthermore, as evident by a simple web search, there seems to be a clear conflict of interest involved in your editing of the page.http://www.tranghamm.com/portfolio That explains the message I left on your talk page.

Thank you --CutOffTies (talk) 14:29, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: the recent ANI thing

I'll say it: thanks. :) I appreciate you keeping an eye out for people. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:39, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I appreciate it. I'm not looking for a pat on the back, but the condescension and general negative attitude in situations like that irks me. --CutOffTies (talk) 18:44, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Understood. Sometimes people seem to forget that it's a large wiki with a lot of different areas to work. No matter how experienced we are, there's always going to be something we've not encountered. :/ --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:52, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Basia Bulat photo

Hello.

Do you mind explaining why you deleted the Basia Bulat picture I had uploaded (other than a reason like "her eyes are closed" which doesn't convince me). did you not see the license terms here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeddian (talk • contribs) 18:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

• You didn't upload any image, but the file you linked to is under a non-commercial license, which isn't free enough for Wikipedia (see the image use policy). - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I didn't delete the image, but it is explained why it was deleted. As far as the eyes closed, yes, I prefer the original photo, mainly due to it's more of a closeup, and I would think it's always better to have a subject's eyes open. Perhaps if you ever sort out the right license, then the image could be added to the body of the article. Or if you really want to add it in to the infobox, we could get another opinion. --CutOffTies (talk) 18:44, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

I thought you deleted it, apologies.

As for the eyes however I can't agree with you. common sense says that it's normal for an artist to have their eyes closed while performing music. it's not necessarily supposed to be like the picture of the US president or the mugshot of a serial killer! thankfully there's no pre-written rule about this so we can move on...

zobbel.de

I am not sure how Zobbel fits in to all this but it seems like a perfectly reliable source of UK chart information, how can one assume otherwise without doubting every website out there. Are you suspicious that the website is not reliable, or what is the problem here? Officially Mr X (talk) 16:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

It's a self published source. Please read the link and What counts as a reliable source on the same page to have a better understanding of what websites to use as references (especially when adding to a bunch of articles at once). Thank you. --CutOffTies (talk) 16:35, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Harisch

I'm not a big fan of one sentence intros, which is why I included the anxiety disorder in Pete Harnisch's. I rephrased the lead to a way that I thought you would find agreeable. I took out the "He may be best remembered..." and left it with the simple fact that he suffered an anxiety disorder. The fact of the matter is that if you google Pete Harnisch, you'll find 100 articles about his anxiety disorder. It is the most notable thing about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.3.18.26 (talk) 10:10, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

See my comment on the talk page. --CutOffTies (talk) 10:18, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

For me, it way a simple matter of writing style. I like to include more than "he played baseball" in the lead. For Harnisch, the most notable thing about him is the disorder he suffered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.3.18.26 (talk) 10:00, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

The "most notable thing about him" is your opinion that is not backed by reliable sources. More important, the "nearly crippled his career" is not verified, and violates the biography of living persons policy.

In addition to this mishandling of a sensitive topic, you failed to read and apply the clear and simple documentation on Template:By-- I suggest you slow down and ensure your edits are following policy and guidelines before hitting the save button. Perhaps you should be using talk pages more before making edits you're unsure of. --CutOffTies (talk) 12:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

I've done a lot of work on Wikipedia in the last 2 years. You were the first person to ever give me a Barnstar. Thanks (though I still like my intro to Pete Harnisch better). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.3.18.26 (talk) 10:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

BIlly Joels

Sorry Mister. I thought I was just adding some inofmation to make the wiki more clearer. I said that he aint bound by gendered namiing conventions. That be why he named his little girl "Ray."

The fact that Rick Mercer is a homosexual is widely known. It is even mentioned later in the article, and Rick Mercer's domestic partner is his producer, Gerry Luntz. --174.95.190.13 (talk) 07:45, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

Paul Revere controversy

Hello,

Have you guys considered redirecting users from "Paul Revere" to "Israel Bissell" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Bissell)? Or, more pragmatically, at least to include mention of him in the Revere article? In HBO's "Assume the Position," Robert Wuhl claims that Paul Revere only went 19 miles from Boston to Cambridge, and that "the only person he could have warned was the dean of Harvard." Don't know if that can be confirmed, but it seems worth noting.

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of this site!

guinness nigeria

Hi cutoffties,

You have removed my link on the article for "guinness nigeria"

I do not understand your action. I have read the guidelines for external links and i am sure that my link was not spam so i cannot understand why you deleted it?

I added the following link.

http://www.easykobo.com/Getquotes.aspx?s=GUINNESS

or

http://www.easykobo.com/News.aspx?id=269

If you follow the link, you can see that the link covers Guiness stock and news. Much the same way as does google finance. but this link goes much deeper because it is actually based in Nigeria and i came across it while browsing facebook, then i came here to share it.

So i think you should really reinstate the link. readers will benefit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ombuguys (talk • contribs) 14:03, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for reading the guidelines and inquiring through discussion. To be completely honest with you, any time there is an apparent single purpose account that is doing nothing but adding links to various articles, it gives the impression that the user is interested more in promoting a website rather than improving the encyclopedia.

If you do believe that the site is a useful, unique resource that merits links in articles, I would inquire about it at the External Links Noticeboard. Perhaps you can gain consensus there to add it to many articles. Thank you --CutOffTies (talk) 14:17, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

hello again cutoffties,

I have added the link for discussion like you said. so that more people can help the community decide whether that link was a genuine link. I am open to editing other pages too so that it does not look like i am here to promote a website. Let me know if i can help you in any way in editing pages from Nigeria. it is just that i am a business student in Lagos and check these pages regularly. i thought i would be improving the page and providing more info to readers by adding a very useful and popular link down here in Lagos, Nigeria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ombuguys (talk • contribs) 16:18, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Digital Journal Article

Hi CutOffTies

I'm writing a follow up article on the recent events of the editing of the Paul Revere article for Digital Journal. I was hoping that I could chat with you about it. Send me an e-mail at if you're interested, and we can go from there.

Thank you,

RE: George W. Auch Page

I am an employee of George W. Auch, which I can verify. I am attempting to edit this page for accuracy. This page has been reccomended for deletion since 2009, and for the past two years it has had the heading before the content of our page that this page is up for deletion. All we want is a clean looking page that does not have the statement "reccomended for deletion" at the top. Please help me as I am trying to increase the accuracy of this page and make it look more attractive. Please review the page and either delet it or remove the comments at the top of the page so we can have a standard, clean looking wiki page. I appreciate the help. Please contact us for further questions at Thank You, Matt Kramer

Hi,

I guess you have a prejudice against us. so have you way. good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ombuguys (talk • contribs) 18:25, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
