Dwight LauderdaleI removed most of the quotes because it was started to read like an interview. Yes it feels more dry, but that's what an encyclopedia is. Check out WP:Quote. Quotes should be used sparatically. You did a good job of starting the article, but it looked like you were essentially took your sources and pulled things direct. It's much better to summarize the quotes. Also, the overall tone of the article felt (and still does to a lesser extent) like it was praise. The tone should feel less biased. heat_fan1 (talk) 20:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC) Don't remove other's comments at ACE2008ST47's comments were neither uncivil or BITE-y. He was simply clerking, and properly indented an ineligible editor's vote. Remnoval of such comments could be considered vandalism. D.D.J.Jameson 21:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Kyle JustinMy apologies on the MySpace revert, friend. Please don't take offense. Obviously, I'm new to this. If I would have fully read the Wiki policy's article I would have understood what it meant. When I saw "links to avoid" I thought it didn't necessary mean these links should not be used, yet they should be used with caution (hence, avoid), because they could violate copyright or some other rights. I understand why MySpace links are links to be avoided (not used). I disagree with this, however, so I will try to bring it up on that policy's talk page. My question for you is, for a group whose website is their MySpace page (this is not uncommon, I know of many bands who do this) what do they do? If their MySpace page is an offical band site and it is their copyright, there is no foul in my eyes. What do you think? I say this because, in regards to the Dirty Barby link you removed, that is the only official Dirty Barby website--they have no other offical sites. In the spirit of editing MySpace out of Misplaced Pages altogether... here are some other pages I found with links to MySpace accounts on them, have at it! :) Scarling., Jack Off Jill, The Breeders, My Bloody Valentine (band), Sing-Sing (band), Explosions in the Sky, Spiritualized, Spacemen 3, Marilyn Manson (band), Tool (band), Puscifer, Audioslave, Jucifer, Interpol, A Place to Bury Strangers, Eulogies (band), Dangerbird Records, Silversun Pickups, Sea Wolf There is much more where that came from. Perhaps we should start an anti-MySpace Misplaced Pages campaign. Talk soon my friend. :) M. W. Eilers 03:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC) CayleeSorry- you're right, I missed the footnote in the middle because of the speculation at the end which I'm glad you removed. I know the reports came in, but think we should proceed with caution about reporting minute-by-minute breaking news. Plenty of time to add material when it's really verified. But I was wrong when I said it was unsourced. Thanks for catching that. I'll leave it in, as I don't feel that strongly about it, but let's please keep speculation out.Tvoz/talk 21:20, 11 December 2008 (UTC) Threshold (online game)Hello, I'm writing because you were at one time a significant contributor to Threshold (online game). Some issues have come up regarding the article's contents, and I'm at an impasse with a possibly-COI affected editor. I would greatly appreciate your participation at Talk:Threshold (online game). —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 02:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi.Hi. Do not remove my comments from talk pages, as you did here and here. I believe you can be blocked for that. And try to be more civil when leaving comments on my talk page (that is, avoid this). Back to discussing the content, can you please double check that reference you mentioned on the Dwight Lauderdal article? It gives me a 404 error. Also, the sentence saying that Lauderdale "had a passion to "get the story right"" can not be sourced by an interview where a co-worker says he "works hard to see that we get the story right". That just someones opinion, and not a fact. Likewise, we should avoid press-release language like "After working in news since he was 17, he wanted to have choices and work at his own pace". This is unnecessarily praising. Oh, and please watch out your attacks on edit summaries. --Damiens.rf 13:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC) |
