Reverting User:Bfpage's editcs

While mass-reverting User:Bfpage's edits (which I largely agree with) you seem to have reverted more than just categorization at Ureaplasma urealyticum. I'm not an expert on the subject; you may want to double-check that you didn't revert more than you intended on that page. Huon (talk) 01:21, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

@Huon: Thanks you are correct that was unintended and I have restored to the version prior to the addition of the problematic category. Appreciate you pointing that out! Melcous (talk) 01:45, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

HROnboard

Hi Melcous,

Thank you for your feedback on the HROnboard article. As per your suggestions, I have applied to change my username to reflect the individual nature of my user account and also declared a potential conflict of interest on the HROnboard article. The references in the HROnboard article should shed some light on the un-baised nature of the article and the original source of the information written. As can be seen the references provided are all valid, notable and external to the topic of the article. I hope you can take a further look into the page and the references provided and clean the page up.

Regards, Hronboard (talk) 04:12, 4 November 2015 (UTC)


MEF International School Istanbul


Hello, this is Blueberry-BubblyGum. This is about the page MEF International School Istanbul. We have done a lot of changes to this page but we still have a sign saying that we need to improve the page. Would you please double-check and see if we still need to improve it? We have also added more sources.

Thank you, Blueberry-BubblyGum

Reverting Beck's Jonah addition

Please explain why you reverted my addition to the Book of Jonah page. Something about original research? How is a footnote to a site from National Geographic and the Government of Western Australia considered original research? That makes no sense to me. Please don't vandalize contributions without an explanation. Also, consider my addition as balancing the point of view of that professor's point of view on the whale shark.

Mohammed Ansar

Why are you trying to smear Mohammed Ansar . Why are you deleting relevant facts of political alliances of those who have made allegations without any proven fact.

Just because an article has been written it does not mean that is the truth and as far as im aware not one of those quoted have proven beyond doubt any of their allegations. So at the very least one should make a point that these commentators have a political pov that is contrary to Mohammed Ansar and that thus far they have have made allegations that have yet to be substantiated.

If you cannot provide that much of fact then one must assume that your intent is to be part of the smear campaign against Mohammed Ansar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.238.143.70 (talk) 15:39, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

Documentation Robert Lewy

Kingseason (talk) 13:52, 31 May 2015 (UTC)Good morning. I have the documentation for my magna cum laude graduation status from Franklin and Marshall College in 1964 and my Phi Beta Kappa election. Do you wish me to enter these myself as Kingseason or provide them to you. My overall preference would be to revert the first paragraphs back to an earlier version but I will abide by your opinion. I cant find anything better for SNCC than the Wikipedia entry as far as its nature. I was not a member. The training grant is referenced by its number. I have my diploma from the Cardeza Institute but cant find anything on line that lists the fellows. we had no yearbook. I have a transcript from Princeton University school of Graduate Studies in Religion but no on line citation. Finally, the Fulbright runner up interview has no paper or on line trail.

I hope you see Im trying to restore paragraph one given the problems of looking for 40 year old documentation. I hope to keep working with you on this.

thank you Dr. Robert Lewy Kingseason (talk) 13:52, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Frequent edits on Suits

PsychopathicAssassin (talk) 19:54, 8 June 2015 (UTC) Although your will to correct edits are appreciated, the page for Suits is correctly written as per Wikipedia policy, and is in conjunction to other pages (see Breaking Bad and Sons of Anarchy for further details) and follows guidelines, as I manage to enforce as best to my ability. All NEW edits are welcome, but please do not revert any further edits from today on the page.

Thank you and if any questions, see here: PsychopathicAssassin (talk) 19:54, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

- Thanks for the recent contribution but I simply meant to make sure that Suits, like other articles, are completely and correctly followed. Keeping the edits how they are from this date saves confusion, and the structure is correct as per all other pages in which significant additions have occurred. The current structure is correct but all edits are welcome.

Thank you and if any questions, see here: PsychopathicAssassin (talk) 22:40, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Jessie's elimination on MasterChef Australia

Hi there! I just found out Jessie was initially eliminated after the first half on the June 25th episode of MasterChef Australia. She was eliminated in 15th just days after fellow contestant Stephen Rooney sent packing, however, she was stayed back along with the other fourteen competitors and remained in the competition.

Hi Melcous. Did you get the message I left on my talk page? By the way, it seems to me that the last pgrph I inserted has disappeared. Did I forget? Or did you remove it? If so, would you please clarify. Ronny Cohen (talk) 15:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Consistency

Dear fellow educator:
During your removal of a large number of wikilinks (including those for characters, actors, and actresses) from the summaries of the episodes in season 1 of The West Wing, you overlooked at least two of that type.
In the interest of maintaining internal consistency, you may (or, of course, may not) wish to remove also those remaining links.
By the way, I've seen that in Australia you too teach at a college or university.
Which institution?
What do you teach?
Although I retired from full-time work several years ago, I've since returned part-time at a large university in South Bend, Indiana, USA.
Among my courses are both English composition and remedial English.
Best wishes,
Doc – DocRushing (talk) 16:03, 8 July 2015 (UTC).

Dear Melcous, thanks for your message. It looks like no-one else is volunteering an opinion on the matter. Did you get a chance to look at any of David M. Howard's comments on editorial agenda? Ronny Cohen (talk) 10:14, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

External lnk removed

Dear Melcous, the external link is not spam, it meets the Pluralsight standard, since other of it's subsidiaries such as Code School and Smarterer are listed there. HackHands is a Pluralsight company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hackhands (talkcontribs) 11:39, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes!

Yes, if, for one or more good reasons, I wished to point out that a particular person were a man, I would indeed specify that person as a man.
For example, one of my friends, from my time as a volunteer mariner aboard the Mercy Ships, is a man who is a kindergarten teacher.
When I've referred to him, I've often described him as a "man kindergarten teacher" – because that facet of his identity (the fact of his gender) warranted special attention.
Ainsley is a conservative Southern Republican who happens to be a feisty or spunky (and well qualified) young woman who soundly stomps Sam's tail on nationwide TV.
Sam's defeat by such a young woman is one of the significant comical points during the introduction of Ainsley to the audience.
Indeed, the dialogue itself emphasizes that: Josh cries out to a group of coworkers that "a girl" was in the process of "kicking Sam's ass", and Toby briskly steps to a monitor while he calls, "Ginger, get the popcorn".
Yes, that sentence justifies the word woman, and yes, under similar but different circumstances I would use the word man.
This has nothing to do with gender equality or political correctness; instead it's all about precision, accuracy, and completeness.
Cheers!

Hi i am nee to wikipedia and am not close to the person i have created a page for. Guide me through and i do not have any intentions to praise and all i have done is to add basic facts abt the person — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sai Dharam Tej (talkcontribs) 05:23, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments regarding the edits I made to the page about Cheryl Johnson. I do have a relationship with this person as she is my wife and my name is mentioned in the article. The wikipedia page on her was brought to her attention by a third party and we noted a few factual errors on it such as her place of birth, her place of residence, etc. I simply changed those to be accurate. She had previously sent it a request for correction, or thought she did, yet nothing was done so I tried to correct the errors. This is my first time to try to edit anything on wikipedia and my intention was to make the inaccurate information correct. I added nothing that could be considered controversial, etc., and changed nothing the original submitter had created except for factual errors. I apologize if I did this incorrectly. I'm sure if you deal with wikipedia every day, all the procedures are straightforward and easy to understand, but I have had a heck of a time even figuring out how to reply to your message. I simply wanted the facts concerning her place of birth, etc., to be correct, and my reference is her birth certificate. Again, if you need to revert to the incorrect information due to the fact I did all this incorrectly, that is the way it must be, but as "easy" as all of these edits are supposed to be, for some of us of the older generation, especially, it is more complicated than it seems. Thank you. I don't have a tilde on my keyboard so I am not sure how I am supposed to sign this. greglasley — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greglasley (talkcontribs) 16:51, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

WIKIPEDIA POLICIES

Hi Melcous,

Very confused about how my edit (Richard Bryant photographer) seems to 'have a close connection' with the photographer. Can you please point out which bits i need to clean up and edit as i have been struggling for weeks. Please check my page, I've left a comment

Regards,

A

Dear Editor Melcous

Please can you restore my edit to the Anglian Home Improvements Page.

I or someone else will continue to attempt to edit this page until it is accurate.

How do I have a close connection to the company? I am a member of an advice group helping victims of the company know their legal rights. I have some legal training, worked in a University and have forty years of NGO experience.

I am uploading factual information about this company.

The information is factual. It does not promote the company at all. I am not close to the company.

The information on WIKI merely promotes this company but does not include any information about investigations into its rogue trader by TV companies, legal cases against it, or mention that there is an advice group set up to help customers who have suffered at its hands. The WIKI article was written by someone promoting the company.

Please put back my edit! Removing it merely means that the article tells only the story of the company from the company perspective.

Thabk you.

I trust justice will prevail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anglianaction (talkcontribs) 13:49, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Citation styles

Hi. Re your edit at Peter Norman: I'm not sure you know, but per WP:CITEVAR, Editors should not attempt to change an article's established citation style merely on the grounds of personal preference, to make it match other articles, or without first seeking consensus for the change. As with spelling differences, it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor. I don't have a personal preference, and I'm not the article's first author, so I don't particularly care in this case, but please keep that in mind. Such sweeping changes are often a cause for a conflict. No such user (talk) 12:45, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Melcous, could you explain why you removed my entry from this page? I'm unclear as to what you mean by notability as there are many references on that page that aren't notable in any obvious way.

Please advise as to what makes my contribution to the database for product comparison advertising, any more so than the other 50 listed? Would it be better to have an entry for the company (Sword IT) rather than the product - I see it is done both ways. have I included enough sources and correctly? Thank you very much.

Hello Melcous,

I am a University Undergraduate who is writing an assignment for my Introductory to Communications course. It has come to my attention that my work had been deleted under (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). I wish to tell you that I am not trying to advertise or promote the organization that I am writing about and that I will be citing and referencing all details written in the page. I would like to continue writing my assignment for this class without it having to be deleted. Please let me know if I am making any mistakes at all since I am a new wikipedia writer. Also, my article that I am writing will not be posted on the Wikipedia site it is just to show our Professor our understanding of how to write in our sandboxes.

Vimalraj

Hi there, although I agree that Vimalraj is likely a candidate for speedy deletion, I did want to draw to your attention that tagging an article two minutes after creation is a bit bitey and doesn't really assume good faith. This, of course, doesn't apply to things like adverts or attack pages, but generally giving a new user 10+ minutes is a good rule of thumb. --Non-Dropframe talk 13:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
