Comments needed for Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard

Thanks Chisme for your comments on my talk page for the Talk:Bushmaster Firearms International debate. Now your words are needed on the Misplaced Pages:Dispute resolution noticeboard to win this debate. Best wishes, --Zeamays (talk) 13:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I see your new note on my personal talk page. Do you have any suggestions of other articles that need balance? --Zeamays (talk) 00:51, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Infinite Jest

Thank you for catching that deletion in the middle of my editing. I missed it. Glad to know someone else is still paying attention (my edits deserve auditing also). FWIW, the above warning was not personal. You appear to be acting in good faith. I also warned all of the IP editor sockpuppets.

The blanket warning was in the interest of neutrality.

Disambiguation link notification for May 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aaron Peskin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Telegraph Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello Cupcake!

Nick Turse OpEd in the NYT

In your massive deletion edit of 18:14 today, you removed a large amount of content added by User:Readerfix. Perhaps you did this wholesale with a revert not noted in your edit summary. What perhaps you hadn't noticed is that between two sets of consecutive edits by that User, you also deleted the External link I'd added. This was to an OpEd piece by Nick Turse, published in the New York Times online edition of Oct. 9 and in the print edition of the International Herald Tribune on Oct. 11. This is no cherry-picking on my part, even if these two long-established and respected secondary sources have essentially one in the same editorial policy. None of the other External links on that page provide a piece of writing by Nick Turse as this one does. I believe it belongs in Misplaced Pages and am restoring it, also noting this on the article's Talk page. -- Deborahjay (talk) 18:33, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
ETA: I did see the subsequent activity by User:Readerfix reverting your edit (which restores, for now, the Ext. link about which I wrote above), and also the Talk page issue. I'll add my support - hope it helps. And do you know of a WP Style guide for biographies of investigative journalists, that would give proper section headings? I've been meaning to learn the ropes of that, among other things. -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 18:42, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

mulignon

Hi. Can you come up with a better source? I have tried. I know the word is used in English, and have seen both mulignan and mulignon as spellings, but I don't see a god source, and I removed urban dictionary as unreliable. But I will leave the listing, since it's obviously a slur and documented as used in English. Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 22:25, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Jane Kim page

Hi Chisme,

I'd like to add more info to what you posted to round out the entry. Maybe we can collaborate?

Chisme, I agree with basically all of your points on V. S. Naipaul‎ talk - the images and stilted language should go. There is an excess of needless detail for a wikipage, and now dozens of citations to a single work. I haven't worked on the Naipaul page since 2008 or so, and then only briefly, as Naipaul‎ is not one of my primary interests, but I am up for opening a larger discussion on Fowler's behavior, adding canvassing of sympathetic editors to his already questionable comments and insistence that he needs a month to have sole editing control of a BLP. I mentioned an Rfc in the talk, but conflict resolution noticeboard might be a better place to take this. Thoughts?Dialectric (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
