Why was the Curt Wootton reference on the Notable People section removed on the Greensburg, Pennsylvania page? He is a well known actor in the region and has a large fanbase. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 01:47, 3 November 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Salesianum School page == |
|
|
|
|

John, I am new to this, but trying to make some needed edits to the Salesianum School page which I started last evening. Some of them are very obvious, such as the misspelling of the President's name and some recent athletic updates. Also, the school has a diverse and acclaimed academic program which is not mentioned, as well as long and rich history in the state of Delaware which currently is limited to a single unfortunate part of our history. I would like to take this on as a project, but this morning I saw that even a few modest attempts have been reset to the previous copy. How does one proceed? Thank you. ] (]) 11:51, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Chris |

:I have corrected the President's name as per the school website. I've also removed an unnecessary sub-heading in the "History" section. I haven't done anything with the sporting statistics, as I don't see any benefit in a secondary school article having lists of statistics like these that will need updating every year and don't have independent reliable sources to support them. |

|
:Some things to bear in mind: |
|
|
:* ] gives guidelines for editing school articles. |
|
|
:* ] and ] are Featured Articles about secondary schools; these show how a school article should look at its best. |
|
|
:* Your use of the first person suggests you have a ], something to be aware of. |
|
|
:* Using ], and/or creating a ], often helps to avoid being speedily reverted. (The vast majority of edits without edit summaries from unregistered accounts on school articles are vandalism from school pupils, and thus such edits tend to be treated as suspect.) |

Hey friend. We've chatted before about Wiki policy on US cities. I'm having an issue with a recent edit to ]. I've always used "unincorporated community" as the identifying characteristic, but the community is indeed a populated place. I've also expressed my concerns here ].

== Copyright checks when performing AfC reviews == |
|
|
|
|

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to ''you'' in particular.<p>The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when ] in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.<p>If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied ''from the draft'', rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the is very useful for sussing that out.)<p>If you do find a copyright violation, please ''do not'' decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Misplaced Pages to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using <nowiki>{{db-g12|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with <nowiki>{{subst:copyvio|url=</nowiki><tt>URL of source</tt>}}.<p>Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with ]; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.<p> I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--] (]) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).<p> Sent via--] (]) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC) |

I more than appreciate your concerns about the edits being made to the article for ], especially as they relate to COI issues among other concerns. However, removed significant amounts of useful changes, corrections and sources that had been added to the article. While there are clear issues with formatting and unencyclopedic material, the additions were made in clear good faith and are overwhelmingly positive improvements to the article. I had assumed that I would wait until the editor was finished with changes to the article before I was going to jump in, but if we more experienced editors are going to be undoing any of the changes this editor had made, we should do it with as light a touch as possible. ] (]) 21:18, 19 November 2014 (UTC) |
