Sammy Figueroa
He himself thinks that is too much. So I delete it. And also I added a complete section about of his biography.
reference = https://en.wikipedia.org/Anushasana_Parva
this page above is being repeatedly deleted for unknown reasons.
The page is a summary of the anusasana parva. A summary of the book is not vandalism. All the pages and paragraphs have references cited to them. the references are from sacred-texts.com in that website the anusasana parva translation is available. why are these paragraphs being repeatedly deleted. Cluebot only objected to certain phrases which were modified the reply to cluebot has been accepted. the edit is only to say that adding paragraphs with references is not vandalism.
if there is any specific para to which there is an objection, please name it.
thanks

Your message regarding my edits in 1968 World Series.
In response to your first message, it was not allowing me to respond to your first message. I kept trying to "enter" text into the box, but was not allowing me.
Much of the edit/deletion revolved around information that was found in other entries or extraneous or repeat information that made the entry about the 1968 World Series difficult to read. For example, one of the toughest plays for an outfielder is a ball hit directly at them. Curt Flood's initial reaction was a typical one step in before going back on the rocket hit by Northrup. The writer spent undo time and references saying the same thing: he misplayed the ball. We got it the first time that the writer thinks Flood blew the series on that ball. Making four references was overkill.
The other edits involved the summary of the previous (1967) season for both teams, while there was an entry touching on the same subject. Very long, unnecessary copy that can already be found in other Wiki entries. The entry that was edited specifically dealt with the 1968 World Series. That's it. These entries are supposed to be quick and easy reads for a reader. Good detail is not discouraged, however, there has to be a happy median between a one-line summaries and what is written in this summary with overkill information that slows the read down. The "prelude" also details individual game substance, but yet goes into a repeat information in individual game (Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, etc.) details. One entry, for example, spent an entire four line graph detailing innings where the "slow" Tigers got runners on base but didn't score.
As a one-time professional copy editor, I took sports copy and made it more readable for multiple newspapers: Spartanburg (SC) Herald-Journal, the Marion (IN) Chronicle-Tribune, the Williamsport (PA) Gazette, the now defunct Cincinnati Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer. Not trying to harm the Wiki entries but make them more readable.
J.D. Power Page
Thank you for your note. I work in the Communications department of J.D. Power and I'm trying to update some very old content on the site, including the logo that we no longer use. I'll refer to the tutorials and follow the guidelines for any proposed updates or changes. 108.171.135.186 (talk) 22:23, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
- 108.171.135.186 Your welcome. Please remember that paid editing is not allowed, and your edits will only be accepted on the basis of sourced evidence. I'm not sure, but if J.D. Powers has a website that represents the changes you are trying to reflect, it might suffice. Happy editing! Boomer Vial 22:28, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
Category:Dead-end pages from August 2016
FYI: Cfd is not needed. Empty maintenance categories qualify for WP:G6 and are tagged automatically. — JJMC89 (T·C) 07:55, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- JJMC89 Oh, my mistake. Thanks for the heads up. Boomer Vial 06:40, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Hi there from Portugal,
hey, no worries! My edit was indeed a positive one, but my edit summary was downright misleading. All in all, you had more reasons to revert than not to revert.
Attentively, sorry for any inconvenience --193.137.135.2 (talk) 10:14, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
Your message to me
That information came from an episode that aired tonight and ended about five minutes ago.--32.214.195.155 (talk) 02:07, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- 32.214.195.155 Which would constitute a violation of both WP:OR and WP:V. Please provide a source, or it will continue to be reverted. Boomer Vial 02:37, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- How??? It came from me watching the episode itself where the characters stated it. How do I source that???--32.214.195.155 (talk) 05:14, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- 32.214.195.155 Websites such as RottenTomatoes or IMDb would suffice, assuming the reference supports your claim. Boomer Vial 12:22, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Twinkle welcoming templates
 | This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
Hey there. Is there an welcome template for Twinkle for WP:OR? It can be rather confusing to leave templates on the talk pages of new users, when it does not explain exactly how the editor in question was editing outside of guidelines and policies. If not, can you direct me to an area of Misplaced Pages in which I could make such a suggestion? Thank you. Boomer Vial 01:46, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know of any welcoming templates that covers NOR specifically, other than maybe {{Welcome-laws}}. You can use {{uw-nor1}} and the other level templates to warn editors adding original research. If you feel like asking for a NOR welcome template, you might have some luck mentioning it at the WT:Welcoming Committee. Let me know if you have any other questions! --AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 02:14, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- AntiCompositeNumber Will do. Thank you. Boomer Vial 02:15, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
SPI cases and IPs
Hi Boomer Vial, regarding your removal of the semi protected edit request template and the IP's request to move the page on Misplaced Pages talk:Sockpuppet investigations/1832 Heritage. IP users are unable to create pages in the Misplaced Pages namespace so, to open an SPI, that they need to create it in the Misplaced Pages talk namespace and ask that it be moved to the Misplaced Pages: namespace by an autoconfirmed user. Kind regards, Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:21, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- Callanecc Oh, shit. I'm sorry, I had absolutely no idea. Boomer Vial 05:23, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
- No worries, fixed now. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 05:33, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Boomer Vial! I saw your message on the editor's user talk page and wanted to get back to you about it. I must be either stupid or missing something. I don't see how this username is a violation of UPOL; can you explain the username and help me understand why it is? Thanks for the heads up about this, by the way :-) ~Oshwah~ 07:38, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Revert of your edit to Fake news
Heads up, I was checking through citations on Fake news, and have partially reverted your restore & re-word.
The author who removed the claim originally as unsourced was correct: the claim does not correspond to the source. It was actually added before an unrelated citation. Please feel free to check over the citation if you disagree, I don't see any mention of the claim. --Michael Billington (talk) 09:59, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
