== "The" versus "the" when directly quoting a source. ==
==Neutrality of Sound Films==
Hello Kal! Please call me Mike. In response to your reverting my edits, I have specified at least three instances where a speculative, or opinionary comment was present in the article. It seems as if we have a conflict here, and I would prefer to discuss it, and possibly rather than start an edit war. The Dietrich comments on the image are entirely inappropriate for Misplaced Pages, and the mention of Jolson's popularity could perhaps use some re-wording.


Doc, great series of edits on ] article, it is greatly improved due to your efforts. I had a question about however, specifically, changing "the Beatles" to "The Beatles" when the source Wiki is quoting (Harry, 2002, p.753) uses "the Beatles". Shouldn't we be accurate to the source, or brackets should be used to indicate we are changing the case of the "t"? Please, correct me if I am wrong.
I hope you are willing to talk about this issue.

Would you be able to weigh in ] please? The image in question is a ] of ] and Hitler. It is being used in the article ostensibly because it aids readers' understanding of the situation.

Nice work today on the page. ] (]) 19:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)


Hey Doc, hope you are having a great holiday season. I have a question I think you can answer. I bought a first edition copy of: ''The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono'', so I could replace the pageless Sheff 1981 cites in the ] article, as the link appears to be dead now anyway. Here's the question, the book is actually copyrighted to Playboy, not Sheff, and the Library of Congress page at the front of the book actually lists Lennon as the 1st author. Further, while Sheff conducted the interviews, the book was edited by G. Berry Golson. So how should this be cited to, since the interviews were conducted by Sheff, the book was edited by Golson and authored by Lennon? Also, if Lennon is an author, why would Yoko not also be an author?

As of now, the ref section reads like this: Sheff, David; Lennon, John; Ono, Yoko. In: Golson, G. Berry. ''The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.'' Playboy; 1981. {{ISBN|978-0-87223-705-2}}. But as I said, this does not seem to be accurate. How should the cites look? Thanks, Happy New Year, cheers! ] (]) 22:15, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
== conservative/liberal/moderate ==


==My edits on The Clash==
The problem I have with the statement in the United States article is that it is misleading. Yes more people identify as conservative than liberal, but there are so many moderates that lean liberal that if you were to just ask "are you conservative or liberal" , I think most people would say liberal. So if that is the case, someone reading this article could be mislead into thinking that the country is conservative as a whole, and I think if you look at this past election , this is clearly not true.
First of all, I am not whining, despite what you may think. It is valid to complain about reverting an entire edit when there are some improvements in it. It may not be your intention, but you are coming off to me as "snotty" right now. I am sorry if this is not your intent, but I would appreciate it if you spoke to me kindly, because all you want to do is complain about me and/or my edits... --] (]) 16:35, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, if you insist that both NYC and LA images have the same aspect size (which I think is unwarranted for the simple reason that the NYC skyline is so much bigger and more sprawling), then will you please replace the current NYC image with something more visually appealing? I am quite unhappy that you are insisting or even just OK with leaving a poor quality image for NYC while the L.A. image is appropriately beautiful, just on the basis of an illogical size consideration. I believe that my choice actually made sense. And kindly change the moniker back to New York "City" from "New York", whose primary Wikilink is actually to the ] article.

2) Please bear in mind that wikipedia guidlelines state that wikpedia pages are not owned by individuals. Thus you do not own the Ramones page. Agreement on edits on pages in wikipedia are based on consensus rather than one person looking to steamroller there views when there are others making up a majority alternative opinion. There are others who agree that the influence sections needs a tidy up. The tidied up edit I have added is more structured as opposed to the previous version which has no apparent line of structure and just looks amateur and messy.

You may already be familiar with the FAC criteria by now, but in case you aren't, you can check out the ]. Also, the following dispatches are useful for reviewing nominations:

The reasons you have given for reverting these edits have been only your point of view and there has been no wikepedia guidelines brought to the table to support your view. At the moment this appears that you think that you own this page and have the right do on here as you wish. Misplaced Pages states that individuals do not own pages. The reasons put forward by you against the edits I made are poor. The reponse you have given above appears aloof, self important and does not demonstrate any sort of desire or inclination to try to work together with others.

{{Misplaced Pages:Featured article criteria}}
Hi Dockino,

Interesting reply. So let me get this right. If someone makes an edit, its OK for you to undo it. If someone else undoes your edits, its edit warring?

You may well have some stars added to your history. You also have on there a list of complaints regarding your uncollaborative and dogmatic challenging of other people's work. Further your response above supports the previous comment I added above, namely that your edits are self important and aloof and not geared towards collaborative working. To repeat again, wikipedia guidelines state that no one owns wikipedia pages. You are the only person who has challenged this edit so far despite it being on almost 200 watch lists. Further to repeat again, there has been a comment stating that the influences section needs a tidy up. This means that at present your view is against the consensus so far stated.

I have asked you before and this has been ignored. Please let me ask again. Can you please explain with detail why exactly the edits made are non beneficial? You clearly have a high regard for your abilities, could you please demonstrate how good they are by giving a detailed explanation of why the edit in question is devalueing the section in the article? As stated above, the only change that has been made is to break the content down into three structured sub sections. All of the content and references are exactly as before. However the proposed changes takes away the rambling non structured format, to some degree at least. Regardless of how many stars you have or anything else, you do have any higher authority to allow you to over ride the opinions of others when your view is the minority opinion. Do you honestly believe that you are perfect and nothing you do can be improved upon?

Also could you please explain why my actions have nothing to do with the input of illazilla? Illazilla made a constructive suggestion that one of the sub sections was too small. I have acted upon that and merged a couple of sections together. Its called collaborative working.

Could you please answer the previous question I also asked, namely when you said 'we' in one of your previous talk page updates, who are you speaking for please?

Your repeated undoing of the changes I have attempted to constructively apply with what is currently majority backing represents edit warring on your part.

== Hi, you don't know me ... ==

I've spent quite a while looking through the comments at your RfC/U, and the diffs, and so on, and as I've never interacted with you personally (and also as I just think it's better) I've decided to talk to you here rather than leave or endorse any comments over there. I hope that's OK with you.

I can easily understand the problems that Real Life can cause us, and how it can spill over into WikiLand despite our best intentions. I've found the reverse to be true, as well: WikiStress can affect our ability to deal at our best in Real Life. It can get to be a vicious circle, sometimes. I personally have some health issues (waiting for surgery) which mean I'm in almost constant pain (and regular morphine!) neither of which is really conducive to maintaining a good mood or really thoughtful editing. I'm also full-time carer for a frail, elderly parent with advanced dementia. So, I really do understand what Real Life issues can do to us. I had a really nasty spat on Wikpedia back in December, which I found quite horribly stressful (I almost quit altogether), so I can also appreciate the stress of having the RfC/U going on. You have my sympathy, on both fronts. I'm also an ], which can occasionally complicate matters; My interactions with other people don't always go the way I expected!

I wrote an ], from my own experiences, which I think you might possibly find helpful to read. (Of course, I could be wrong.) You're possibly sick and tired of people talking to you about this subject, but please be assured that my intentions are good, and I mean you nothing but good. I apologise in advance if I'm out of line here; I just thought that maybe a few words from a completely uninvolved editor might help the situation. All the best, ] (]) 08:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

<s>1) : I changed this because in the OS, there are no spaces between the words and the dash, can we alter the punctuation of the OS without a ?</s> I see now, you fixed the error not caused it here, sorry. ] (]) 01:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

2) As far as quote swap: a) Lewisohn is a better source than Norman, who is a better source than Gladwell, b) the Lewisohn quote is more succint, c) we need to add back Gladwell as a source, as I removed the lower-quality sources used for only a cite or two in the article in favor of the more common and higher quality ones used through out. This trimming of obscure, sometimes out-of-print lower quality sources helped me reduce the overall size of the article by more than 13%. Thus, the article is more easily verified by the average editor/reader now that these older, hard to find, lower-quality sources are not relied upon to source basic information the high-quality sources already address, d) there is already a topical article on this subject, so the detail need not be more than the shorter Lewisohn quote IMO.

3) I agree with trimming the "bus incident" details, there is a topical article dedicated to this era as you pointed out, but as far as changing "the" to "The" in the name chronology, well, I am not aware of any consensus to override our sources, and Lewisohn uses "the" throughout.

4) a) You can't do this much in one edit, b) I think you need to build a consensus for anyway, as no one else disliked the edited version as it was TMK, which was better sourced, more succinct and more accurate, c) you introduced numerous errors, you would need to add back the many obscure, out-of-print, and poor quality sources, and d) you can't use rollback for anything but vandalism, and that's essentially what this diff is, a rollback. ] (]) 22:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

5) , why is an Academy Award not notable enough for the lead when grammys and Ivors are? To a US citizen an Oscar is better than five grammys at least, if not ten. I added it back. ] (]) 22:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I trust your editorial instincts and I know the article could use your skills. I do disagree with your page range edits at ] though, my reasoning is that to save one digit, you introduce much more room for error. 191-195 is clear, but 191-95 could be an error for 195, 95; or 195, 295, etectera.

I'm pretty sure TV.com (as well as IMDb) is strongly discouraged as a reliable source since it allows users to submit information to the website (much like Misplaced Pages does).

== Main page appearance: Tender Mercies ==
First of all, as you were giving me the 3RR warning, you reverted me for the 3rd time today, thus bringing yourself to the verge of violating it as well. I have already listed my explanation as for the grammatical correctness (or the lack thereof) of DCGeist's addition: the word combination ''what one scholar calls this'' is garbled and though not entirely incorrect, such phrases are better reworded for Misplaced Pages's aesthetic quality. Moreover, as I have been telling DCGeist from the beginning, this addition puts the unduly weight on the fact that '''one scholar and one scholar alone said these words''', hence inadvertently promoting a non-], skeptical outlook on the subject matter of the quote by using ]. Is there a good reason for you to insist on that version, other than siding with DCGeist? Did they email you asking for help? (By the way, this is one of the reasons I don't have an account.)

"The" versus "the" when directly quoting a source.

Doc, great series of edits on The Beatles article, it is greatly improved due to your efforts. I had a question about this edit however, specifically, changing "the Beatles" to "The Beatles" when the source Wiki is quoting (Harry, 2002, p.753) uses "the Beatles". Shouldn't we be accurate to the source, or brackets should be used to indicate we are changing the case of the "t"? Please, correct me if I am wrong.

P.S., If I have an en dash on my keboard where would it be? Thanks, cheers! — GabeMc (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Doc, for the speedy reply, and the advice on finding the en dash. I will defer to you and Tony in this instance, it does make logical sense to me. Thanks for your time, cheers! — GabeMc (talk)

The King

Hi. I've restored the most important parts of what I'd done to Elvis Presley. I'd seen the discussion at TFA/R and should point out to you that Sandy doesn't know what she's talking about. I scrunched the whitespace as a sop to poor ways of thinking about article load time and edibility. The result was 'smaller'. Alarbus (talk) 11:47, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

Sourcing question

Hey Doc, hope you are having a great holiday season. I have a question I think you can answer. I bought a first edition copy of: The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, so I could replace the pageless Sheff 1981 cites in the John Lennon article, as the link appears to be dead now anyway. Here's the question, the book is actually copyrighted to Playboy, not Sheff, and the Library of Congress page at the front of the book actually lists Lennon as the 1st author. Further, while Sheff conducted the interviews, the book was edited by G. Berry Golson. So how should this be cited to, since the interviews were conducted by Sheff, the book was edited by Golson and authored by Lennon? Also, if Lennon is an author, why would Yoko not also be an author?

As of now, the ref section reads like this: Sheff, David; Lennon, John; Ono, Yoko. In: Golson, G. Berry. The Playboy Interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Playboy; 1981. ISBN 978-0-87223-705-2 Parameter error in {{ISBN}}: checksum. But as I said, this does not seem to be accurate. How should the cites look? Thanks, Happy New Year, cheers! — GabeMc (talk) 22:15, 31 December 2011 (UTC)

My edits on The Clash

Template:Largest Metropolitan Areas of the United States

OK, if you insist that both NYC and LA images have the same aspect size (which I think is unwarranted for the simple reason that the NYC skyline is so much bigger and more sprawling), then will you please replace the current NYC image with something more visually appealing? I am quite unhappy that you are insisting or even just OK with leaving a poor quality image for NYC while the L.A. image is appropriately beautiful, just on the basis of an illogical size consideration.

Ramones

Hi Dockino,

Re your comment in reverting edits on the Ramones page as follows:-

'Revert. Sorry, but we are not allowing the Influence section to be turned into a sloppy trivia bank.'

Some comments:-

1) When you say we, could you please clarify who it is that you are speaking for on top of yourself? I don't see on there that anyone has stated that they are giving you authority to speak for them

2) Please bear in mind that wikipedia guidlelines state that wikpedia pages are not owned by individuals. Thus you do not own the Ramones page. Agreement on edits on pages in wikipedia are based on consensus rather than one person looking to steamroller there views when there are others making up a majority alternative opinion. There are others who agree that the influence sections needs a tidy up. The tidied up edit I have added is more structured as opposed to the previous version which has no apparent line of structure and just looks amateur and messy.

3) Please refrain from edit warring. As mentioned above, individuals do not own wikipedia pages. Please work with others in a constructive manner rather than edit warring with abrupt, point of view comments that often give no indication of any wikipedia guidelines supporting the view point.

Thank you for any constructive and consensusly agreed work you can bring to wikipedia.

Socheid (talk) 10:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)


Hi Dockino,

This is an attempt at humour on your part surely? The only person who has objected to this change is you. As well as me, there is another person if you go through the hist who has agreed that this section of this page needs to be improved.

The reasons you have given for reverting these edits have been only your point of view and there has been no wikepedia guidelines brought to the table to support your view. At the moment this appears that you think that you own this page and have the right do on here as you wish. Misplaced Pages states that individuals do not own pages. The reasons put forward by you against the edits I made are poor. The reponse you have given above appears aloof, self important and does not demonstrate any sort of desire or inclination to try to work together with others.

Again, please do not edit war. Socheid (talk) 12:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

PS Please see the update above by IllaZilla (talk) 19:04, 20 December 2011 (UTC), stating that the influences section needs a tidy up.


Hi Dockino,

Interesting reply. So let me get this right. If someone makes an edit, its OK for you to undo it. If someone else undoes your edits, its edit warring?

You may well have some stars added to your history. You also have on there a list of complaints regarding your uncollaborative and dogmatic challenging of other people's work. Further your response above supports the previous comment I added above, namely that your edits are self important and aloof and not geared towards collaborative working. To repeat again, wikipedia guidelines state that no one owns wikipedia pages. You are the only person who has challenged this edit so far despite it being on almost 200 watch lists. Further to repeat again, there has been a comment stating that the influences section needs a tidy up. This means that at present your view is against the consensus so far stated.

I have asked you before and this has been ignored. Please let me ask again. Can you please explain with detail why exactly the edits made are non beneficial? You clearly have a high regard for your abilities, could you please demonstrate how good they are by giving a detailed explanation of why the edit in question is devalueing the section in the article? As stated above, the only change that has been made is to break the content down into three structured sub sections. All of the content and references are exactly as before. However the proposed changes takes away the rambling non structured format, to some degree at least. Regardless of how many stars you have or anything else, you do have any higher authority to allow you to over ride the opinions of others when your view is the minority opinion. Do you honestly believe that you are perfect and nothing you do can be improved upon?

Also could you please explain why my actions have nothing to do with the input of illazilla? Illazilla made a constructive suggestion that one of the sub sections was too small. I have acted upon that and merged a couple of sections together. Its called collaborative working.

Could you please answer the previous question I also asked, namely when you said 'we' in one of your previous talk page updates, who are you speaking for please?

Your repeated undoing of the changes I have attempted to constructively apply with what is currently majority backing represents edit warring on your part.

Socheid (talk) 13:53, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, you don't know me ...

I've spent quite a while looking through the comments at your RfC/U, and the diffs, and so on, and as I've never interacted with you personally (and also as I just think it's better) I've decided to talk to you here rather than leave or endorse any comments over there. I hope that's OK with you.

I can easily understand the problems that Real Life can cause us, and how it can spill over into WikiLand despite our best intentions. I've found the reverse to be true, as well: WikiStress can affect our ability to deal at our best in Real Life. It can get to be a vicious circle, sometimes. I personally have some health issues (waiting for surgery) which mean I'm in almost constant pain (and regular morphine!) neither of which is really conducive to maintaining a good mood or really thoughtful editing. I'm also full-time carer for a frail, elderly parent with advanced dementia. So, I really do understand what Real Life issues can do to us. I had a really nasty spat on Wikpedia back in December, which I found quite horribly stressful (I almost quit altogether), so I can also appreciate the stress of having the RfC/U going on. You have my sympathy, on both fronts. I'm also an HFA, which can occasionally complicate matters; My interactions with other people don't always go the way I expected!

I wrote an essay on civility, from my own experiences, which I think you might possibly find helpful to read. (Of course, I could be wrong.) You're possibly sick and tired of people talking to you about this subject, but please be assured that my intentions are good, and I mean you nothing but good. I apologise in advance if I'm out of line here; I just thought that maybe a few words from a completely uninvolved editor might help the situation. All the best, Pesky (talk) 08:10, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Recent edits at The Beatles

Hope you had a great wiki holiday but its good to have you back Doc! I had a couple of questions about your recent series of edits at the Beatles.

1) Here: I changed this because in the OS, there are no spaces between the words and the dash, can we alter the punctuation of the OS without a ? I see now, you fixed the error not caused it here, sorry. — GabeMc (talk) 01:34, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

2) As far as this quote swap: a) Lewisohn is a better source than Norman, who is a better source than Gladwell, b) the Lewisohn quote is more succint, c) we need to add back Gladwell as a source, as I removed the lower-quality sources used for only a cite or two in the article in favor of the more common and higher quality ones used through out. This trimming of obscure, sometimes out-of-print lower quality sources helped me reduce the overall size of the article by more than 13%. Thus, the article is more easily verified by the average editor/reader now that these older, hard to find, lower-quality sources are not relied upon to source basic information the high-quality sources already address, d) there is already a topical article on this subject, so the detail need not be more than the shorter Lewisohn quote IMO.

3) Here I agree with trimming the "bus incident" details, there is a topical article dedicated to this era as you pointed out, but as far as changing "the" to "The" in the name chronology, well, I am not aware of any consensus to override our sources, and Lewisohn uses "the" throughout.

4) a) You can't do this much in one edit, b) I think you need to build a consensus for this diff anyway, as no one else disliked the edited version as it was TMK, which was better sourced, more succinct and more accurate, c) you introduced numerous errors, you would need to add back the many obscure, out-of-print, and poor quality sources, and d) you can't use rollback for anything but vandalism, and that's essentially what this diff is, a rollback. — GabeMc (talk) 22:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

5) Here, why is an Academy Award not notable enough for the lead when grammys and Ivors are? To a US citizen an Oscar is better than five grammys at least, if not ten. I added it back. — GabeMc (talk) 22:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Greetings Doc

Having imposed a ban on myself having anything to do with Misplaced Pages for several months, largely for the good of my health, I've only just seen your request regarding the RfC back in January. Please don't think I ignored this. I am pleased that there have been such positive comments about your edits and I would surely have added to them. Misplaced Pages is definitely a finer place for you being a part of it. Rikstar 04:02, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I assume you saw the responses on my talk page, but really, just edit it the best you know how. I'm sure if there is anything I disagree with we can either talk about it, or I'll just change it back, lol. Don't worry, I trust your editorial instincts and I know the article could use your skills. I do disagree with your page range edits at The Beatles though, my reasoning is that to save one digit, you introduce much more room for error. 191-195 is clear, but 191-95 could be an error for 195, 95; or 195, 295, etectera. Just my opinion. — GabeMc (talk) 01:56, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Last revert

The last revert which you have made on Elvis Presley's page, i think i agree but, still such name should be added somewhere on the page, like they have been added on the pages of Stevie Wonder, Little Richard, Michael Jackson and so on, people go ask on internet "Who Elvis has influenced except beatles, dylan" as we have put only such influences on Elvis's page.

Best wishes for the New Year!
Here's wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013!

Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year.

Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, thanks to many dedicated Wikipedians!

Main page appearance: Tender Mercies

This is a note to let the main editors of Tender Mercies know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 19, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/March 19, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Tender Mercies is a 1983 American drama film. Robert Duvall plays Mac Sledge, a recovering alcoholic country music singer who seeks to turn his life around through his relationship with a young widow and her son in rural Texas. Duvall, who sang his own songs in the film, drove more than 600 miles (966 km) throughout the state, tape recording local accents and playing in country music bands to prepare for the role. He and director Bruce Beresford repeatedly clashed during production, at one point prompting Beresford to walk off the set and reportedly consider quitting. Themes include the importance of love and family, the possibility of spiritual resurrection amid death, and the concept of redemption through Mac Sledge's conversion to Christianity. Following poor test screening results, distributor Universal Pictures made little effort to publicize Tender Mercies, which Duvall attributed to the studio's lack of understanding of country music. Although unsuccessful at the box office, it was critically acclaimed and earned five Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Picture. Tender Mercies won Oscars for Best Original Screenplay for Horton Foote and Best Actor for Duvall. (Full article...)

Template talk:Non-free review

An RfC about the use of the {{fairusereview}} tag on mainspace pages is in progress here. From 2005 until recently, this template was added to file pages when the non-free status of the file was being discussed. In May this year it was edited so that it could be added to articles. The RfC question is: "Should the template be reverted to the pre-May 2013 version, and retained only for use on file pages?"
