Abusive IP

A suggestion, I would ignore as reverting that many times on his page may lead to your own block. WCM_email 10:49, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. Next time I encounter this user, I won't do it, but I've already reverted him many times, something I already regret. Epicgenius (talk) 12:24, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

• Yes. Look, first of all I don't think that their message was trolling. They have something to say. You (and many others) may not like it, but it's not for the lolz. Besides, we typically give users leeway on their own talk pages, and there is no reason not to do so in this case. I've heard far, far worse from blocked editors (with accounts!), and blanking talk page content should really only be done for clear vandalism or messing with others' words, for instance. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:13, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
  • Drmies, thank you for adding your opinion. I admit I may have been wrong, but I had removed the content because it contained personal attacks, not just because I disagreed.

    However, I politely disagree with you on the point of their trolling; they made edit summaries like "Grow up", "this surely is the best way to build an encyclopaeida ", "What a productive Wikipedian you are", "do you think you're being just a tiny bit disruptive", and "I loved your failure to post at WP:AIV by the way", to name a few. These edit summaries seem inflammatory to some, and they fall under the purview of trolling, even if only marginally.

    In any case, I won't do it again because it's pointless, and I apologize if you or anyone else has found fault with my actions. Epicgenius (talk) 14:52, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

    • Oh, I'm not saying they're a paragon of good manners... Drmies (talk) 15:51, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
      • With that I definitely agree... – Epicgenius (talk) 16:13, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Selena, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cameo. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Brittany Maynard: "Her death, from barbiturates, was confirmed by her husband, Daniel Diaz, who noted that in accordance with Oregon law her death certificate listed a brain tumor as the cause." http://www.nytimes.com/2014/11/04/us/brittany-maynard-death-with-dignity-ally-dies-at-29.html

Please leave brain tumor as cause of death. This is what is on her death certificate. A lung cancer patient may get pneumonia but in the end it's lung cancer that killed him. The article explains that it was assisted suicide. As Brittany preferred, it was death with dignity and it was the brain tumor that killed her, she just assisted in letting death happen sooner. She would not have taken the barbituates if she didn't have cancer that was going to make her suffering far worse before it killed her.

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.105.132.130 (talk) 21:40, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
