  • Are you interested in working on it?

Ping!

Hey did you get my ping a few days ago? I recently got motivated to create Dennis H. Carter and got several tags put on it. I've spent over a week fixing it and kind of need objective editors to see if I've addressed all the concerns. I'd apprecate your input and if you know any editors who work in the Architecture project that would be of help too.ZarhanFastfire (talk)

WVWF

Good Evening-

I am attempting to remove things that we do not wish to be public information such as officers of our company, transaction prices, etc. Also, there are grossly incorrect pieces of information about simulcasts, sister stations, etc. This page has caused me enormous issues to iron out, including vendors reaching out to me in reference to contracts as it relates to simulcasting,etc.

All of our information that we want or desire to have public is on our websites, but that has been removed. I tried one last final time tonight to rectify it.

WVWF does not simulcast with any stations.

WVWF is in Clarksville, TN

Ownership Is the Corporation.

We would like for it to be totally removed if possible.

Thank you so much for your time and assistance.

Thank you, Bryan K. Fowler President, Consolidated Media, LLC and Fowler Media Partners

About 2018 Quebec election

Hi Bearcat!

Stop putting August 29 as the date MNAs stopped being MNAs because of the 2018 Quebec election. August 29 isn't the good date under any standard. The writ of the election was dropped on August 23. Even there, it doesn't matter, as it is known convention that a dissolution of the National Assembly doesn't strip MNAs of their title. They stay on as MNA until the general election. That's why we refer to them as "sitting MNAs" during the election.

Your interpretation would be absurd, as long-standing MNAs would keep being on and off MNA since they were first elected. If you look at all other MNA pages, or federally or for other provinces, your flawed interpretation isn't used anywhere for previous elections.

Today's reply and apology

Hi, I am sorry for confusing other users for the "break" question. I have already drop the break question and I am nearly not mental. I will be fine from now on and I will continue doing some edits on COVID-19 related articles during the COVID-19 period. I will continue but only I will be ready to continue. And again, I have apologize to you and to everyone for the "break" question and my confusion. I have already drop the "break" question any my difficult time. I will be fine from now on. I will continue doing edits on COVID-19 related articles during the coronavirus period. I will be back to continue editing but only when I will be ready. OK? Thanks for you time. Before I go, I will say on a quote from Jerry Springer's closing catchphrase "Take care of yourself and each other." Steam5 (talk) 13:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Looking for an admin's advice

I used this tool to find you. If you have the chance, could you take a look at Clay Jenkins and its talk page? There is a WP:BLP dispute going on there and I don't want it to keep going back and forth. If you're busy, could you let me know so I can find someone else? Thanks.  Bait30   18:36, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but could you take a look again? Cladeal added the information back anyways.  Bait30   20:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. Eagles247 helped out. Thanks for helping out earlier !  Bait30   21:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

List of comedy television series with LGBT characters

Hello, Bearcat. As someone who has contributed to the LGBT characters in television series lists, I think you should be aware of this situation.

Misplaced Pages Editing Brush Up Course

Hello Bearcat.

I am writing to find out if there is a Misplaced Pages editing brush up course that I can take. Sofiabrampton2 (talk) 18:57, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

If there is not a Misplaced Pages brush up course, how can I get help with adding references to an existing page? I haven't done it for awhile and am nervous. Thanks. Sofiabrampton2 (talk) 17:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Will try your leads. Very much appreciated. Sofiabrampton2 (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Just wanted to bring this user to your attention. You blocked them a year ago for making unsourced changes to competition tables. They seemingly have continued this behavior over the last couple of months. Nihlus 16:06, 6 April 2020 (UTC)

Let It Snow (2019 film)

I edited this film article in late 2019 and by chance today discovered that, at some point between then and now, it was gutted. What does Misplaced Pages do when something like this is done to an article? Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:39, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Cunningham Drug (Canada)

Hey there, thought I'd draw your attention to the Cunningham Drug (Canada) article by pointing out a logo for that chain recently added at the Logopedia site, depicting the logo (along with its source ) as it looked from about the mid-1960s until Shoppers Drug Mart bought and absorbed it in 1971. I can't add the file to the article myself since I'm not registered, but if you'd be able to, that'd be great. 2001:569:BD1A:CD00:5C88:B324:C202:CB90 (talk) 14:01, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

IMDb as an only source

I am amazed at how many articles, both biographies and articles on films, have IMDb as the only source. I have nominated several for proposed deletion but keep having the proposed deletion be removed and was even threatened with being taken to ANI for nominated articles that have as their one and only source IMDb. In some cases these are not so much articles as one sentence plus a long and involved filmmography. The whole situation is incredibly frustrating. It convinces me we should require all new articles to go through the article for creation process, but I do not know how to fix the problem we already have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:19, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:Getrichmusicinc/sandbox

Hello, Bearcat. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Misplaced Pages is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Misplaced Pages! UnitedStatesian (talk) 01:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I didn't start this AFC submission at all; the only thing I ever did to it was move a misplaced draft that had been submitted by somebody else from its original title to a more appropriate one. So I'm incredibly unclear on why I'm getting this notification at all, because I didn't "create" the proposed title. Bearcat (talk) 04:51, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Eaton's

Hey Bearcat. While commenting on Template:Did you know nominations/Horizon (store), I took a quick look at Eaton's as it was linked from the DYK hook subject. I noticed that it was indefinitely semi-protected in 2014 (incidentally its first protection), and looking at the history it was due to IPs making some unconstructive edits dating back to around 2012 or so. Given that it's been almost six years since the article was protected and from what I can tell the IP has since stopped, would it be a good idea to lift the protection or downgrade it to PC now, or is it better to leave the protection in place? Thanks and happy editing. Narutolovehinata5 10:42, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Draft: Braden Paes

Hey there bearcat! I hope you are well. Just reading over your comments on the page as to why it was declined. I was hoping you could tell me how a page like this Philip D'souza with very little referencing gets accepted but a page like I've created cannot seem to make it through. Thanks in advance!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Expertwiki6250 (talkcontribs) 00:53, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Overuse of IMDb

I have come to realize that IMDb is over used to create links. In the recent Lillian Knight discussion it was shown that IMDb had conflated two actresses. Despite this, I have been denounced for even having put that article to deletion, although without the deletion nomination no inprovement would occur. I am quite disturbed also at the defense of long often even lacking role names cast lists that in some cases have lead to false postives. This is why I was removing red links from cast lists, and yet I have been attacked for doing that. The fact that some of these articles have languished with IMDb as the only source for 14 years is more discouraging. Maybe writing this message will get me in trouble and labeled as "canvassing". I will see.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:25, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
