Captain EO
[edit]I didn't make the last edit, the last edit I made had the links proving reference.- YU559
- I wasn't talking about the last edit. You restored the POV content in the Renewed Interest section at least seven times, a direct violation of WP:3RR. Please stop.--Edgewise (talk) 14:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Walter Baldwin
[edit]Thanks for adding the Walter Baldwin info on the Floyd Lawson page. I didn't even know that. Wavy G 07:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
Otoliths
[edit]Thanks for adding the otolith picture. What was the length of the fish that they came from? Nerwen (talk) 08:27, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- I do not know, as they were acquired at a processing plant in Alaska. They were among hundreds that collected in a drain under the machine that removed the heads. Edgewise 17:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Edgewise, I deleted the article Jesus Horse. While I encourage and thank you for your effort in writing an article, I'm afraid that certain guidelines are imposed on Wikipedia articles to make it have the scope of an actual encyclopedia. In this case, this was a neologism, and so was not kept. I encourage you to read our guideline on notability before creating a new article. Cheers.

blueback
[edit]Blueback is a common term for an immature coho salmon, but I have never heard it used for a sockeye. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willisda (talk • contribs) 21:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- As noted in the Encyclopedia Britannica, "blueback" is a synonym for adult sockeye salmon.--Edgewise (talk) 00:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
OSU
[edit]I had only noticed the back and forth edits, I had not noticed till yesterday the continued retardation of the image and captions, both going against the WP:MOS. So I guess we will have to keep an eye on it, and if it gets to bad get it semi-protected. That would at least prevent the unregistered users, which we force AgentOrange to edit directly, which we could then move towards an RFC on the article or user for a more permanent fix. But unless it is a daily thing I doubt we could get semi-protection. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Please do not revert his edits. I agree that you are correct in "revered" being a weasel word, but revert warring will only get the page fully protected and that just sucks all around. Regards. Thingg⊕⊗ 18:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
3RR
[edit]It looks like a clear violation of WP:3RR. I have a final in 1 hour, so I don't have time to report him/her, but feel free to yourself, but I would not revert again. Hopefully a 24 hour block will get their attention. I'll eventually file an RFC on the article, unless someone beats me to it. Aboutmovies (talk) 19:01, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Protest song: Paul Robeson
[edit]Do you have any references that confirm that the concerts Robeson played following the HUAC incident were specifically protest songs? Otherwise, I'm not sure why Robeson is in this article. There were many people unfairly persecuted by HUAC, but that of itself does not make them relevant to an article about protest songs.--Edgewise (talk) 20:07, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
- There's the recording of Paul Robeson The Peace Arch Concerts (link), recorded at the the event mentioned in the article. If you look at the list of songs, you will see that Robeson performs "Joe Hill", which is a protest song if there ever was a protest song. The "notes" at the external link previously provided state the following: "In the early fifties, forbidden by the U.S. government to travel abroad - even to Canada - Paul Robeson appeared at the Peace Arch Park on the U.S. and Canadian border and sang and spoke to 30,000-40,000 people, proving to the world that his voice and his beliefs could not be stifled."

Orphaned non-free media (File:BennyBeaver.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:BennyBeaver.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Lucille Bliss as Princess Daphne?
[edit]Hello. Can you tell me how you know Lucille Bliss voiced Daphne in the Dragon's Lair spinoff TV Show? I can't find any references to confirm this. IMDB credits Ellen Gerstell. Thanks. --Rrand (talk) 03:53, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- I have no cite, so I would not change the article. It is something I read somewhere. I may have been misinformed.--Edgewise (talk) 13:40, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Benny Beaver "Historical Connection"
[edit]Please do not revert this page to it's old format, removing my newly added section. This information is relevant to the topic and hostile reverts are seen as vandalism. To this point, you have not provided a legitimate reason for doing so.
- Your Historical Connection section goes into minute detail about the fur trade in Oregon, which is unecessary in an article about a university mascot. You have even added a picture of Abraham Lincoln, presumably because he wore a beaver hat. This is just not relevant to the topic.
- Your good faith edits are damaging an otherwise informative article. Please do not engage in an edit war to defend changes that degrade the quality of the article.--Edgewise (talk) 13:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
- I added some comments. We have been down this road before. I restored more of the talk page to provide context. --Esprqii (talk) 18:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Yes we have and here we are again. Why? You are acting much too quickly on complete revisions without proper discussions involving outside contributors. Your actions do not show good faith. If you were sincere in your efforts, you would allow comment from many others. Not just yourself and VegaDark each time. Very suspicious actions. Working as a team?
