Mo Tae-Bum

Although I appreciate the copyediting you are doing on Mo Tae-Bum, I have a couple of questions.

1. To me, although you have done copyediting you have also removed information, that although not phrased terribly well, should be included. Why did you remove it.
2. Why did you tag it for cleanup. After talking to numerous editors, they thought that after mild referencing improvements which I made, it should be promoted to B class.

the Dick Van Dyke show

hey - Bonnie Meadow Road is an actual street located in the north-end of New Rochelle. It is where the shows director, Carl Reiner, lived with his family for years. The house number (#148) doesn't exist in reality however the street/location are real. Perhaps you can reword the information so it reads more clearly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.173.213 (talk) 23:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

For the record,

Shaff and Shaff in their book Six Wars at a Time: The Life and Times of Gutzon Borglum state "By joining and trying to mold the Klan, Gutzon was not seeking personal power." (p. 197) However tossing the fact that he was a member of the Klan out in the opening part of the article is not (opinion) a good idea and I support your recent edit - rather than restoring the former one and adding a reference. At the time that GB was a member of the KKK the Klan was not what it was to become, he saw it as a grass roots funding source for his mountain carving project. Life is complicated, wikipedia too and we all get to draw the lines where we see fit. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 23:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:14, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Contradictory Articles

Hi! I see you tagged César Chávez as contradictory a couple of months ago in the immigration section. I've read it a couple of times, and I can't see what's contradictory. I've removed the tag, but if the contradicton is still there, please put it back, and put a note on the talk page. Cheers! Worm 11:39, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Similarly for Sole Survivor Policy, not exactly sure what's contradictory there. Cheers Worm 11:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Merge proposals

Hi, you added the {{mergewith}} template to Euan and Ewen, but did not add any parameters, so the "Discuss" links on each page go to the separate talk pages. May I suggest you either use {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} in future, or add parameters such as {{merge|discuss=Talk:Euan}}?

The guidance notes at Template:Merge explain these options. They also request, After adding the merge template, please create a section on the talkpage explaining your rationale for the merge proposal.

Hope this helps – please keep up the good work! – Fayenatic L (talk) 16:55, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

List of English monarchs

I am posting this notice here to advise that on the talk page of an article to which you have made substantial edits I have asked a question concerning the validity of the article. The question has been there for some time but received no replies so I am giving my question wider distribution by notifying selected editors who have been involved with the article and giving them an opportunity to respond. Please do not reply here on your talk page or on my talk page but on the talk page of the article where other editors can easily see your comments so that hopefully we can have a constructive debate. The article is List of English monarchs. Thank you. Cottonshirtτ 07:35, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your thoughts on wholesale deletion but it is, in fact, Wikipedia policy. Material without sources must be removed in any article - especially if there is no possibility of getting a reliable source about people who never existed. I like the TV show but we must remember that is is completely fictionalCatherinejarvis (talk) 17:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Catherinejarvis and The West Wing characters

She has removed biographical information from the articles of C.J. Cregg and Josh Lyman as well. Not sure what her misunderstanding is; I tried to explain, but that didn't seem to work. Go Phightins! 02:59, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

It is not "biographical" information when the characters don't exist. There can be an article, naturally, but articles on fictional people and events should not be longer than articles on the real people who play the character. Please see the Wikipedia article on "What Wikipedia is Not" for discussion of in-universe style and indiscriminate information.Catherinejarvis (talk) 17:04, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm MisterShiney. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Star Trek Into Darkness, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Please note, per WP:BRD Your next step should be to take the discussion to the talk page with your appropriate sources as you are the one making/proposing the changes against an established consensus.

Siri Thesis and Papal conclave, 1958

I totally removed the AP article that was quoted because it was a copyright violation and it wasn't accurate.

Thank you for the edit request you answered on Charlie Sheen.
