Re:Jim Moran

How is it at all encyclopedic to include attack sites on a biography of a living person?~BLM (talk) 00:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Murray victory is still there... ~BLM (talk) 01:00, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick Murray

I listed you as possibly personally connected to the subject of the article on Talk:Patrick Murray (politician), due to your uploading a portrait of Murray as your "Own Work"; this indicates that either you are Patrick Murray, or you work for the Murray campaign. If it is not either of those two then the portrait is obviously not your own work and you should not have uploaded it as such. ~BLM (talk) 13:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just because Commons requirements are hard to follow, does not mean that they are not requirements. Images have to be either fair use or free. If you were to email the Murray campaign to ask for a picture, they would most likely oblige, as Murray's Wikipedia page is probably one of the first things that shows up when you Google his name, and the publicity they would get would be there own gain. I am not "gunning" for you; I do not approach editing with any sort of agenda, but when somebody posts a portrait of a politician and claims it is their own work, you can hardly blame me for assuming that the uploader may be associated with that politician. If you are not affiliated with the Murray campaign then I will remove the talk page notice. ~BLM (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The recent edit you made to Keith Fimian constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content from articles without explanation. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 02:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fimian

Hi, I have done some work on the article today and removed the templates II think you may have put on the article, I think it is not so bad now and lots of templates can make the article appear worse than it is and make it dissficult for readers to understand what is going on. You can of course replace them if you still think they would be beneficial to the article or if you have specific issues with any content we could discuss on the talkpage. I have the article watchlisted, so let me know if there are any remaining issues, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 13:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

Your edits have messed a couple of citations, don't worry I will correct them for you now, ok? Off2riorob (talk) 16:47, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citing sources

Please do not just stuff in citations with out knowing how to format them, I spent two hours tidying them up earlier. It does not take long to cite your content correctly, try like this is quite easy when you try it a couple of times. Off2riorob (talk) 16:55, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

<ref>{{cite web|url= add the url here|title= add the title here|publisher= add the publisher here|date= add the date the article was published here|accessdate= add the date you viewed the content here}}</ref>

Use this method, just cut and copy it and add the correct details. Off2riorob (talk) 16:58, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To use a citation to support content at multiple locations in an article, we can give a citation a name and then use it throughout the article which is much better than ibid, If you want to add any more citations please use the template I have provided and it you have any problems or if you want to use a citation at more than one location please let me know if you need any help with that, thanks.

If you use <ref name="xxx">.........</ref> for the first ref, you can use <ref name="xxx" /> to place the same reference at another place in the article. Off2riorob (talk) 17:29, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the "go to the sandbox" template

Thanks for templating my talk page. Was that really necessary? I'll have to take a look at the specifics of which of my well-sourced edits on the Keith Fimian article you disliked. CriticalChris 00:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fimian

I want this article in a decent state, I did not spend hours of my time formating the citations to have it all messed up. I don't like this partisan toing and froing and if it continues it is likely to end badly for someones editing privileges, personally I don't think Critical cris should edit the article any more, and I have told him that. Off2riorob (talk) 16:27, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 16:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"It is likely to end badly for someone's editing privileges." To whom are you referring? Also, if that's some sort of thinly veiled bullshit WikiBullying or a backhanded framing of a "no edit" order, I categorically reject that with prejudice and would like you to explain yourself. CriticalChris 05:45, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First you espouse ludicrious conspiracy theories to accuse me of a WP:COI violation...and now vandalism! My edits aren't vandalism! They are good faith edits, and you are the one who is destroying Washington Post, and Virginia Gazette citations. "Born in Harlem" What's wrong with being born in Harlem? Do you somehow think that's funny? It's right in the infobox, and has been there for quite a while, and I've also heard that from an unnamed source here in the 11th district. Perhaps we shouldn't sloppily omit taking that out of the infobox for now until we can better source that. Of course you're quite busy pointing the finger at me as a vandal with a conflict of interest to be that careful, but where is your proof? I'm just getting started with strongly shining light into the dark corners of your accusations of COI and Vandalism. I will be opening an RFQ on this issue later, and no I will not refrain from making responsible edits to the article. I will match you at 3RR for weeks on end if needed to deter you from suppressing relevant and notable encyclopedic facts. Are you sure you want to get this invested in this article, while simultaneously staking your Wikipedia reputation on bullshit vandalism and COI claims?

Templates on talk pages

Have you read Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars? Engaging in discussions, using your own words, is much more constructive. Binksternet (talk) 00:02, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User talk:Binksternet‎ may be offensive or unwelcome. In general, it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Please refer to Wikipedia:User page for more information on User page etiquette. Thank you. Jrod2 (talk) 18:30, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure that you use edit summaries to describe your changes without injecting your opinion about particular editors or particular edits. Especially in an article where views are strong, this type of behavior could be construed as antagonistic. God bless. — Mike : tlk 04:56, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
