ELs edit

I am reviewing your EL edits to TWA Flight 800

  • Removing NTSB links - I am immediately restoring those. LoveUxoxo (formerly Lipstick), no matter how many times that document is linked to as a source, it must be in the External links section at all costs. The investigation reports are so important to the article that they must be prominent in the external links section.
  • Also any press releases released by the airline need to be in the external links section. That one document that you called "not notable" is the only thing written by TWA that was archived on web.archive.org.
  • I am reviewing the Navy and FBI links. When I checked them, they worked. I will look over them and post results to this talk page. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:15, 4 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Community restrictions edit

Yes, I was looking on the Trouble's arbitration page at all the editors who were blocked at one time or another for edit-warring. Sad, isn't it? LoveUxoxo (talk) 18:16, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

1953 coup edit

I'm notifying contributors to the 1953 Iranian coup article about a proposed change in the article posted on the talk page, that adds information about events leading up to the coup. Only a couple of comments so far. Am planning to request comments WP:RfC later. --BoogaLouie (talk) 23:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Egypt Civil Aviation Agency final report edit

The report at http://www.ntsb.gov/events/ea990/docket/ecaa_report.pdf has been taken down by the NTSB, and the NTSB blocked the archive of the website via robots.txt.

Do you have a copy of the report? Do you know where a copy of it is online? WhisperToMe (talk) 19:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for letting me know!
  • The good news is that the NTSB unblocked archive.org, so now we can view the Egyptian report, etc.

Hi your attempt to nominate that article is a bit messy - I will tweak it up for you if you want? If you post here the reason you want to nominate it and I will add it and tweak the report. Off2riorob (talk) 16:27, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • - No worries I see you have sorted it - regards. - Off2riorob (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, only the 2nd time I have done that, however the instruction page WAS clear and helpful. Thanks. LoveUxoxo (talk) 16:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Off topic, but I wanted to say that I agree with you about the Svidersky article, but it's been through AFD several times already. Steven Walling • talk 20:05, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks for pointing out that you were not the one messing with the leading paragraph (which was probably improper anyway). My apologies. I updated my "complaint". Thank you again. --Fayerman (talk) 21:25, 3 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • I appreciate your comments in the Anthony Bologna discussion. I recognize that the WP:GNG guidelines can be ignored in some circumstances (WP:Ignore all rules). I'm frustrated by the attitudes of some editors who are refusing to acknowledge that the WP:GNG guidelines even exist and apply to this subject. I truly believe that the earlier coverage would have been sufficient for a (quite boring) article about the subject to have been written and kept before his recent rise to infamy.

A barnstar for you! edit

  The Original Barnstar
For all of your work with the Anthony Bologna article - it's been a mess, and who knows how it'll end, but so far, you've done an excellent job with it and the AfD. Inks.LWC (talk) 05:15, 6 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Forgive me if I've misinterpreted edit

But it sounded like you "recused" yourself from a discussion simply because everyone else involved in it seemed unfazed by the prospect of using original research to build an article? If that was indeed your intent, please reconsider. Centrify (talk) (contribs) 11:55, 10 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I said what I thought should be said, so I'm done. Honestly, I didn't mean to start editing that article. And hanging out there the next few weeks sounds so "ugh". Have fun! LoveUxoxo (talk) 12:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

AB again edit

I was wondering how you'd feel about changing the CSD criteria to G4? I'd hate to see the speedy declined on a technicality. Just a thought. ScottyBerg (talk) 01:17, 12 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

On second thought, I wonder if perhaps the best solution is not a speedy but a reversion to the redirect, and then protection in that form? ScottyBerg (talk) 01:22, 12 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

OK, I thought I should do *something* quickly, but am in unfamiliar territory. Advice is welcome and appreciated. LoveUxoxo (talk) 01:24, 12 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, will check it out. I'm looking for more references when I can.
