Hi there. You've been adding a lot of International Debutante Ball entries to articles where, as far as I can see, they have no place being. I've reverted the adds on articles that I was previously involved with, but thought I should ask you what your position was before I reviewed the others. Cheers, Bromley86 (talk) 01:19, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ebenezer Lutheran Church (Greensboro, North Carolina) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ssт✈14:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
As was explained before on this article, you do not need to convert to be received into the Anglican church. You just turn up at the service and join in. It is not the same as more Catholic Christian denominations. DrKay (talk) 16:35, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
As I explained, that is not the case. People can and do convert to the Anglican Church from other denominations, as seen by many categories established on wikipedia. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 01:03, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
You can self-identify as a convert, but you do not have to officially convert. That is the point. DrKay (talk) 06:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. You have performed four reverts within 24 hours on a biography of a living person. DrKay (talk) 16:50, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Cozart-Coley House
Hello Willthacheerleader18,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cozart-Coley House for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
2016 Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director Search Community Survey
The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has appointed a committee to lead the search for the foundation’s next Executive Director. One of our first tasks is to write the job description of the executive director position, and we are asking for input from the Wikimedia community. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey to help us better understand community and staff expectations for the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director.
Thank you for starting this article. I hope you don't mind, but I added the article to Misplaced Pages:Wiki Loves Pride 2016/Results, which tracks new and improved LGBT-related content as part of an ongoing Wiki Loves Pride campaign. If you create or improve other LGBT articles between now and the end of June, feel free to update this page with your contributions. Thanks again! ---Another Believer(Talk)00:20, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
Order of the Dannebrog
Hello Willthacheerleader18,
I was wondering if you could help me figure out some particulars concerning the Danish honour system, Order of the Dannebrog. According to its Misplaced Pages page, the class "Grand Commander" is reserved to "persons of princely origin", namely "Royals with close family ties with the Danish Royal House." However, I've found a source for the Danish vice admiralA. H. Vedel that lists him as a "Knight Grand Commander." I have not found anything explaining such a title. Could you help me research this end? It's possible the the actually title Vedel held was simply lost in translation by the producer of the source. Thank you for hearing me out!

Invitation to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hi there. I couldn't help but notice that you appear to be going through articles about US towns to see if they mention the name of the person they are named after, then you're adding the name to the infobox. The problem is, often the name listed in the article is unsourced, and could be incorrect. I reverted your edits to Hillsborough, North Carolina and Zebulon, North Carolina. Before continuing, could I suggest you go back and check all the edits you've made to be sure they are in fact correct and properly sourced? Thanks a lot. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:08, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
The information I added to the infobox was already sourced in the article, but per your request I have copied the (already provided) links and used them again as references in the infobox. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 23:44, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Robvanvee. Willthacheerleader18, thanks for creating Ballet Zürich!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. It could use a few more footnotes in the history section. Otherwise nice work!
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Robvanvee13:44, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
I see that you reverted my change to the infobox on the Delta Chi Xi page. The reason that I removed them is that an entry with a free label will not be properly displayed if there is not a label to go with it. So if a free_label value is added to indicate what those three things are, I'm just fine with it.Naraht (talk) 20:30, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
House of Cavendish
Hi I saw that you reverted my edit. The use of "House of" is exclusively reserved for Royal dynasties in English. I am in the middle of correcting a certain number of pages including the Cavendish family. Please read House of for more information. The term "House of" has unfortunately been made popular by the series game of Thrones. On my mother's side the family is descended from a certain number of aristocratic families and none use the term "House of". Once I have managed to move the Cavendish family page to its correct title I will correct this page. --Domdeparis (talk) 09:12, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Indermaur, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tyrol and Mauer. 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.

Welcome to Women in Red's July 2017 worldwide online editathons.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
Regarding your recent edit at Greensboro massacre. Thought you might wish to see a discussion involving that subject. It took place on my Talk page, so it's unlikely you would know that it was being discussed.
Per your revert, stating that I "want to develop the idea that white juries inherently favor Nazis and the Klan" is a mistaken view on your part... just like I might be mistaken to say that you are attempting to whitewash the article. -Location (talk) 22:15, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
I assume good intentions on your part, which is why I said IF you wanted to develop that line of reasoning, it should be done in the body of the text. I do not assume good intentions on the part of the Chicago newspaper writer. He went out of his way to try to paint the jury decision (if not also the jury members) as racist. It is an inflammatory bit of writing. More yellow journalism than professional journalism. But you were only citing words from the article, which is quite fair in our world. But it does misrepresent the events. The "journalist" had only one reason to mention an all-white jury... to infer some form of racial prejudice. The article was rife with that innuendo, but came up short when it came to supporting facts. Both the jurors and the prosecutor who carried the case for the State support the contention that politics was the deciding factor. If you wanted to say that a Southern jury decided against communists, I think you would be on solid ground, with a good bit of supporting evidence. But all-white...? Why? Gulbenk (talk) 23:40, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for your thoughtful response. I re-read the Chicago Tribune article more carefully and while I don't believe it to be be yellow journalism, it is clearly an opinion piece and you are correct that it should not be cited the way I placed it in the article. (I did not notice the first time about that it was in the "Perspective" section.) It looks like Charles Madigan, who typically does have a left-of-center POV, thought that the jury should have decided the case differently and he drew attention to the view that many blacks - in context with other contemporary cases - viewed the system of justice as racist. And you are correct that the unnamed author for The New York Times used described the jury that way without any context leaving the reader in infer something from innuendo. I imagine a lot could be written on the various POVs regarding the jury and the verdit (e.g. it does appear as though jury may have disliked communists more than any like or dislike for the Klan). Anyway, my apologies. -Location (talk) 02:39, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
The reason I reverted your edits are 1)a very low level minor league hockey team's cheerleaders are not notable for the introduction (the team has not played yet, hence the lack of a body) and 2)your source is an dance class website that makes no mention of the cheer squad. The Thunderbirds' own website makes no mention of a cheer squad so I see no reason for it to be included here, even if you citation was better. (It would also be odd for as even most NHL/AHL/ECHL teams do not have a cheer team, they typically have "ice girls" which can be a dance team but often just come out at intermissions and sweep the ice and interact with fans.) I should also note that based on your edit content, region-based edits, and user name, if you have any affiliation with the organizations you are editing, you absolutely MUST read WP:COI. Yosemiter (talk) 02:48, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
I did not contest your removel the second time, so I see no reason for this post. The website I used did indeed reference the team. However, I understand that it is not considered notable enough for an article. My username is from when I created this account over seven years ago. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 19:48, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
Usually if I remove info twice, I try to explain why per WP:BRD, so this post was as much for me as it was for you. The source/dance class website had one mention for the Thunderbirds, but as I said, there was nothing there about the squad. A news article or a team article about the cheerleaders would have been better. Yosemiter (talk) 21:12, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lady Mary Charteris, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Lady (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
