Milken BLP page

Please explain to me why -- unlike any other BLP on Wikipedia - you feel it is necessary to include the Conviction, Penalty and Federal Prisoner number in the right-side box at the top of Michael Milken's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwimDude (talk • contribs) 22:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

confusion

hello there,

i'm cumminsr and i did a whole bunch of edits on the Sheridan College website. I use to be a student at sheridan and so of course had a sheridan email address. regardless, all my edits have been rolled back and I believe it was by you. Can I please get some clarification as to why? And how do I go about getting the edits put back?

Thank you for your time, Cumminsr (talk) 16:49, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

your edit of David Walsh (art collector)

You took out a link citing WP:ELNEVER "do not link to sites illegally posting copyright material".

The link is to the museum's official web site - who are you to claim they publish this without a license? --QEDquid (talk) 10:11, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

December 2010

This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at User:MissBarkley, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Beyonce Knowles, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MissBarkley (talk) 22:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of List of common misconceptions for deletion

The article List of common misconceptions is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of common misconceptions (3rd nomination) 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 good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Rita Shane

I see you are working on this article. Presumably you've seen the note I left on the talk page about her date of birth. I don't suppose you have any suggestions as to how we could confirm it? It isn't exactly a major issue, but it would be nice to get it right, and I suspect the (supposedly incorrect) 1940 date is liable to find its way back in at some point if we leave things as they are.

Banglapedia

Hi Active Banana,

I fully understand the need to ensure BLP as well as V. However, Banglapedia is actually a reputable print encyclopedia published by the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh. This is a neutral organization which does not reflect the views of the Govt. of Bangladesh. (Note that the Banglapedia was published in 2003, at a time when Nizami was a cabinet minister in the Govt. of Bangladesh.) --Ragib (talk) 20:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding.

Banglapedia's official website is actually www.banglapedia.org ... the banglapedia.search.com.bd is actually an illegal mirror of the site. However, even the official site is not well maintained ... like traditional publishers, the Asiatic society is more focused on the print and CD editions. So, this explains their bad-looking website. --Ragib (talk) 21:27, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Howard King (referee)

Hi Active Banana,~

Would like to know why content and references were removed from this wiki, as it is appropriatelly referenced. I have edited the discussion board supporting the editing, but still you changed it. I think it is clearly referenced and the content supported. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.247.177.182 (talk) 01:40, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

as I told you on your talk page "Please note that just because something hits the newspapers doesnt mean it is worthy of inclusion in a Wikipedia article. We must be especially careful when including content about living people. Your edit to Howard King (referee) has been reverted. King was only "cautioned" and so unless he does something like going on a talkshow spree to gab about it over and over, there is no reason to include this incident in his article.

ActiveBanana. I understand that people like you are too busy and can commit small mistakes here and there like that you did now. Also I beleive guys like you should accept the right thing and neglect the bad, having a rollback rights. I respect you & all who make their sincere efforts to make wiki a reliable place. I go for true/legitimate inclusions and I support it. Small thing that I would wish to tell. Please understand that people like you are almost everytime I login are active and very very busy doing great works. That itself is a very appreciable thing. Because once I started of interest I stayed for hours, but these days bcoz of other works/compulsions I am unable to do so. Always deal each issue on its own merit and circumstances and dont, never inter-relate things. Thats it. Thanks.

regarding deletion of Syed Akbar

hi Mr Syed Akbar is an important journalist in the southern Indian State of Andhra Pradesh.

Drive-by tagging

Is that really something to brag about? ;) You dropped a tag on Prem Rawat before driving away. I've started a thread about it at talk:Prem Rawat#"Extraordinary interest" - too vague?.

Mike Masnick

You have an edit reversal in for an item "sourced from a blog". The problem? Techdirt as a whole is a blog, and pretty much everything in the Bio is "sourced from a blog". The comments regarding "The Masnick Effect" are as valid as pretty much everything else in that bio, and it is a phrase and terminology that traces back at least a year or more. I am not sure why that particular edit is removed, yet other "blog sourced" material in the bio is permitted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.66.173 (talk) 21:01, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I will respond here since you appear to be editing from a very dynamic set of IPs. The edit in question [1] is a selfpromoting, primary soureced claim from a blog for a non-notable phrase failing many Wikipedia content requirements.

• Mansicks own writings cannot be the source to claim he "invented" something
• The "something" that he is supposedly responsible for inventing is not important enough for its own article, and there is no indiction that it is a widely used phrase, so why would we mention that?. Pretty much every writer has come up with a unique turn of phrase and we dont include them in articles.

Active Banana (^bananaphone 21:27, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Yet, the article refers to his own "Streisand Effect", which is his own turn of a phrase. By your basis, that part of the article should also be removed. The only external reference is the subject himself discussing his own ideas on a radio program. Are we to suggest that the discussions on his blog are somehow not "media", but NPR is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.66.173 (talk) 23:19, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes they are two completely different situations. 1) The "phrase" under question is in fairly wide use and has been discussed by third parties so that it has its own article. 2) And the attribution of the phrase being on a third party source that has a reputation for fact checking and accuracy. Active Banana (^bananaphone 14:33, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Again, there is no fact checking on the NPR piece, it is only an interview with the man who coined the phrase. You have no significant third party usage, no usage really at all outside of the blog or the person in question in interview. I am unable to find third party usage of the phrase outside of techdirt.com except where Mike Masnick is either the topic of discussion or being interviewed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.66.173 (talk) 15:18, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

On what basis do you make a claim that there was no fact checking related to that interview? I doubt that you will convince me, but this discussion should be taking place on the article talk page and you may be able to generate a consensus to remove the claim. Active Banana (^bananaphone 15:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

And please, sign your posts. And even if you are not going to create an account, since you are editing from such dynamic IPs it would help if you used some type of "screen name" (LisaInAmerica or Not_A_Fan_Of_Self_Promotion) to link your discussion comments together.

RE: Welcome

Hey there and thanks for the welcome (even though I have been here for a while!). This might sound a bit weird, but did I do something wrong to merit the welcome? Or was it just a good-natured message (which I'm sure it was). Sorry about this, it's just that I'm always keen to know if I've made a mistake. Thanks, AndrewvdBK (talk) 23:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

I just saw that you had had several templates tagged on to your page, but no "official" welcoming. Many newer users have run afoul of Wikipedia standards without ever having been introduced to the "way things work around here," and so I like to make sure that people have had an opportunity to get acquainted with some of the basic tennants.

its a modern world

Hi, regarding your edit, diff here imo we can show a little leeway in this modern world there are a few massive media connections and we would be foolish to reject that position completely, readers benefit from a little of that and as I understand it, unless its excessive its not rejected. Off2riorob (talk) 23:55, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

"Minimize the number of links If the subject of the article has more than one official website, then more than one link may be appropriate. However, Wikipedia does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website. Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites. Complete directories lead to clutter and to placing undue emphasis on what the subject says." I dont think we need to be encouraging linkfarms of any sort.

A thanks and other things

Hello, I would just like to thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia. On a somewhat unrelated note, I noticed that, soon after my edit to the page Teen Top, you removed a sizable amount of content from that aforementioned page. Overlooking my extreme confusion over the seeming coincidence that you edited the same page I did and welcomed me in a short timespan, I was just wondering what the problem was with that information. Thanks again, cheers, Jinmohl (talk) 01:16, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

It appears I may have said that incorrectly. I was not trying to suggest you had done something wrong, if that's what it came off as, I apologize. As for the article itself, if I found a source with that information, how exactly would I add such a source to the article? I think that the information that was there, or information of its type, would be quite useful on that article if, I suppose, sources were found. Jinmohl (talk) 01:25, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

This may be a stupid question, but would the band's official website be suitable for such purposes? Jinmohl (talk) 01:36, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

But if, say, the entertainment company the band is signed to is the one that writes the information on the website, then it would be okay? And for concrete, indisputable things like birthdates, even if the band itself kept the site, would that be okay to use? Jinmohl (talk) 01:46, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Alright thanks. And as for the birthdates, I suppose it's true that they're not exactly needed on the band's page itself, but until sufficient information is gathered to create pages for the band members, having a little background data on those people couldn't hurt, no? And I don't think the validity of including the birthdate in a bio of the person themselves is in question. (Now I might create those pages too, but I'm not sure how I'd go about doing that either... ha~) Jinmohl (talk) 01:59, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Well, I suppose I better not do anything then, ha~. Too dangerous. Somebody might get angry. I guess I can just find some sources then. Is that an ok on placing band members' birthdates on the band page until/if separate pages are created? Jinmohl (talk) 02:06, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Alrighty. :). Thanks for the advice and help, and I apologize for asking you all of these questions. xP. Jinmohl (talk) 02:10, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Shreya Ghoshal

It was not a POV edit. The last edit I made was the one suggested by the other user. Anyway, can you provide your comments here - Talk:Shreya Ghoshal#Awards -- Arfaz (talk) 21:28, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Russell Goldencloud Weiner

I think you have removed "Goldencloud" in error. Do a search and you will find plenty of substantiating info that is not derived from Wikipedia. I found an article in "Bloomberg Businessweek", another on www.sfweekly.com, another on www.examiner.com. Here's a link from a NY Times article (page 2): http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/04/dining/04well.html?_r=1&pagewanted=2

So I think you should check out the credibility of these and other references before you go deleting this part of his name because you don't believe it. You may be a good faith editor, but unless you can repudiate this evidence, it looks like you have inadvertently lost real information. 206.54.220.113 (talk) 02:10, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

thank you for providing the source. however, even if sourced, the inclusion in his father's article is irrel and not supported by the manual of style and has been removed from there.Active Banana (^bananaphone 15:20, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I disagree that it is irrelevant. You are deleting information that is of interest to me, and perhaps many others. That such a conservative personality had named his some "Goldencloud" is unusual and worth knowing. Why you are bothered by this escapes me, and your vague citation of MOS is irrelevant. Bring a senior editor in on this to resolve our dispute. I don't believe in deleting real info about a person.206.54.220.113 (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Without any third party discussion or analysis of why a "conservative personality had named his some "Goldencloud"" you or any other reader does not have any gain of information or knowledge, all you have is trivia. Since the actual article name does NOT include the middle name, we should not include it. Active Banana (^bananaphone 22:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

You won! Although I disagree with that deletion, I respect your tenacity. I agree with you about deleting articles on trivial topics. Wikipedia has some great content, but way too much fanboy rubbish. I support your proposal for removal of the Russell Weiner article. If only more people sought to make WP more like a real encyclopedia than a cultural rubbish repository... As for the Michael Weiner article, there is a lot of gossip and innuendo on it. I will not be editing it, for I plan to get banned by the cowardly anonymous bureaucratic pussy who threatened to ban me for my part in an "edit war".

Policy Regarding Unsourced Material

"If a claim is doubtful but not harmful, use the tag, which will add "citation needed," but remember to go back and remove the claim if no source is produced within a reasonable time." Please add the fact tag in the future, instead of simply undoing the changes that have been made.

You can choose to do otherwise, but the policy does suggest that you add fact tags for information that is not harmful. You're free to believe what you want, but it's hard for me to believe that being listed as an associated act is harmful to the article when the article already references that association.

Reason put by u was wrong

This is in response to ur message osted on 8th october. i had no time to reply.

by the way i have no obsession with the "nickname" and moreover superstar is not a nickname but a title conferred out of respect and admiration for his varied performances given by critics.

its u who had unnecessarily edited and written he is called a superstar cause of he had maddest fan following among female fans.

the entertainment one india article is actually talking about why he still remains the biggest superstar-- for that that was cited as the reason.Read the lines from the artcile ---"Why since four long decades 'Kakaji's' superstar status is still not passed on? Because he had the biggest and the maddest fan following, especially his female fans."---http://entertainment.oneindia.in/bollywood/interviews/2009/rajesh-khanna-interview-100609.html.

but why superstar he is called for that the reason is he was called as superstar by critics for his performances beginning with aradhana and giving consecutive 15 hits, then giving critically acclaimed box office hits continuously and consistently if not consecutively!!these reasons needent be mentioned as they are covered at various places.it need not be repeated so stop raising this issue. the artcile didnt need that wrong reson as put by u. infact i had no problems with the artcile untill 8th october ....as article looks pretty good.

I feel obligated to point out that I'm pretty sure you went over 3 reverts on this article, although I haven't bothered checking.

I think it was two or more edits attempting to bring the article into a version that more closely meets Wikipedia standards and reprsenting what the sources actually stated, and then 2 times to bring it back to that state and remove Copyright violations. But yeah, it was close. Although I would probably also argue that removal of the copyright violation materials does not count in 3RR. Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:19, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Kudos

Nice work at Aaahh!!! Real Monsters — blending the cast into the "Storyline" section reads very nicely and avoids a redundant list. My compliments!

And, man, that was such a great animated series. I can't imagine why on earth, with all the crap that's on DVD, that this particular children's series, along with Ka-Blam!, aren't on video. (Don't even get me started on the missing third season of the brilliantly surreal, incredibly well-cast The Adventures of Pete and Pete.) Children's shows do particularly well in that medium, since kids often watch them over and over. *Sigh* --Tenebrae (talk) 03:37, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Still looking for your considered, point-by-point ack or response

Still looking for your considered, point-by-point acknowledgment or response at Talk:List of common misconceptions, where you attempt to discredit the new inclusion criteria. Your questions and assertions were all answered - every single one. It would be polite for you to acknowledge that fact, and continue discussion. It is not civil to merely gainsay, claim TLDR, or repeatedly vaguely claim "failure to meet" criteria in multipage multitopic policy/guideline/essays without linking to specific sections. You vaguely claim multiple failures, but were only specific about one ("don't reference Wikipedia" - which cannot apply to inclusion criteria if you think about it. Be sensible; even FA reference Wikipedia all the time - ever seen "Main article" hatnotes?). I'm not trying to split discussion - discussion should continue at Talk:List of common misconceptions - this is just a poke. --Lexein (talk) 03:06, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Weeds (TV series)

Hi Active Banana,
my original proposal [2] discusses how I wanted to change "comedy-drama" to "black comedy-drama."
Although, black is sometimes substituted for dark, it is important to note that Wikipedia wants articles to be an easy read as the average person does not know the meaning for "black."
My point is I think it is easier to change it to say:
Weeds is a dark comedic television drama or Weeds is a dark dramedy.
I will put this up on the discussion page as someone wrote in the article the following:
black (Click edit to review the hidden text.)
Please reply with your opinion on the talk page.

Urban fantasy

Hi. First of all, please avoid throwing around terms such as "crap." Relax and keep it civil. Secondly, the statements in the opening paragraph are supported by the sources. No one is trying to "promote" anything; the sources are used for descriptive purposes because they describe works of urban fantasy. Note that I used reviews as opposed to the publisher Websites because I thought they would be more neutral. Also, I removed the "anime" section which you seem to have missed.

Anyway, there's a discussion on the Talk Page. Instead of simply deleting stuff right away, please share your thoughts on how the article might improve. If you can make it a better article, or provide better sources, your contributions are obviously welcome. -- James26 (talk) 21:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Ponniyin selvan (2012 film)

Hello Active Banana. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ponniyin selvan (2012 film), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The issues raised in the AfD discussion, lacking sources, has been adressed with new sources. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 19:04, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello Active Banana hey quick question i attempted to do an update to the current status of the page seeing that of the AI9 finalist she was the "only" finalist with no current verifiable update but from my reading has been just as active if not more active then other finalist from that season ..i used sources from CNN..and Also Naples news and as i understood it read from the Reliable Sources verification of blogs,newspapers etc it stated "Several newspapers host columns they call blogs. These are acceptable as sources if the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control" the writer of each story is a professional writer and writes Entertanment stories for several establishments and also alot of the same coverage can be found on several cites Aside from CNN.Com so checking against other finalist update pages which list more smaller entities be it blogs,newsletters..etc i just wanted to get youre thoughts on what exactly didnt qualify before attempting to re edit the Page...thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by AGJM (talk • contribs) 17:21, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Active Banana: I have just revamped the entire article, and given the controversial nature of much of it, I look foward to have your feedback. All changes were explained by me, point-to-point, in the article's talk pageCerme (talk) 14:19, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

In February you PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to take it to AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:56, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Please could you use them, eg: at Cactus Garden. It will be going to AfD anyway unless you find some non-SPS/trivial references, but edit summaries are always good (as I am sure you know!). Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 20:08, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure what you have done here. You have removed the PROD, added a ref and then added back the notability concerns that it was PRODed for & a minor copyvio. It is a bit of a mixture. - Sitush (talk) 20:11, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I did not remove the PROD, that was gone before I got there. Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:14, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

It appears that you removed it [3] Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

It that there may be a source in india today that supports a claim of "largest cactus garden in Asia" which would make me lean towards keeping, but the actual text is not visible in the snipped view [4] The remaining sources appear to be only trivial and so I would not object to the AfD. Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:18, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Darn it! It is reflinks that removed it - the bot for converting bare refs. Sorry about that, and I have not seen it happen before. Now I wonder if that is a known bug? I thought it was odd for someone who has been around for as long as you have to do what appeared to have happened.

The problem with the India Today article, even if it can be seen, is that it almost certainly is regurgitated from a press release or similar. India Today is not the greatest of news sources in that country. Anyway, sorry to have messed you about. I've spent most of the last four or five days firefighting the antics of the person who created that article, along with a few other editors (& we're all feeling the strain a bit now). Although the bot was in fully automated state, my brain is obviously fuddled. - Sitush (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I understand your frustration - and my lack of edit summaries did not help. (incidentally, I ended up at Cactus Gardens because that user's page is on my watchlist from an earlier period of similar disruption back in Jan/Feb) Good luck! Active Banana (^bananaphone 20:44, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Jersey Shore Relationships

Can you please explain why you've undone my edits on this page? They had been up for many weeks and provided useful analysis of the very unhealthy relationships on the show. I know you say they weren't reliably sourced but that is the only source for this information and the website I cite is written by experts who use scientific information. Unfortunately people watch Jersey Shore, but by demonstrating how bad the relationships are people who visit the wikipedia page have a chance to learn about the show and perhaps their own bad relationship. My edit frankly seemed more beneficial and supported than most of the information on the page. I've run into trouble with previous edits (some because it is from this website, though others have been deleted and they were citations of journal articles), but many of the other cites on the Jersey Shore page are from websites so I'm not sure why this one would be singled out. If the goal is to have factual, accurate, and beneficial information for users of the Wikipedia project, my edits meet that criteria. Gpwhld (talk) 04:17, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

THANK YOU - BUT

I have no idea what you are talking about

Regarding deletion of content

I think it is not necessary to remove unsourced content from articles. It would be better instead to place the citation needed template so that other users will be able to find out what needs to be cited. - Windows72106 (talk) 11:01, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

If I had seen instances where editors had actually provided sources to the flagged content, I might agree with you. But in my experience, all that happens is that the questionable content stays in the article forever with no sources ever provided. Active Banana (^bananaphone 11:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

And it seems that the items that you are concerned about fall under entirely differrent categories:

• • • potentially controversial content about a living person and losing their job MUST be properly sourced WP:BLP
    • fancruft about every segment that ever appeared in a show doesnt belong EVEN IF it had proper sourcing WP:IINFO

I completely stand behind those removals. Active Banana (^bananaphone 11:18, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. I shall be removing the section (Discontinued segments) from every television show (as per your rationale.) - Windows72106 (talk) 11:24, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

stop teaching me here - I have corrected the info - further, im not a fool to just use peacock terms like multifaceted - few months back I have actually edited this girija shettar article but some how, the article happened to be maintained by girija shettar her self, as one of administrator indicated it to me- that is why until several months I did not touch this article, now i touched this article - Associate director for a film and info connected to him comes under technical information only. Further, untill i receive confirmation from admin that IMDB is only used for technical info, I am not going to stope reverting ur disruptive edits in film career section of girija shettar

Okay, this guy basically admits to being a sock puppet of the guy that is stalking Shshshsh. See point number 6 in this edit on my page. Can we go through the process to get him blocked yet again? BollyJeff || talk 13:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Certainly disruptive and certainly at this point not willing to listen to anything coming from any of us- but it doesnt have quite the same feel as my past encounters with the Shshshsh stalker, although that was some time ago and the MO may have changed. Active Banana (^bananaphone 13:23, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Diego Gomes

Hi, just wondering why you redirected Diego Gomes to The Next Star page.... it was perfectly fine the way it was if you had just left it. Please clarify this to me. Monkeys 9711 (talk) 20:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

MONA FOMA

You made MONA FOMA this a redirect to MONA without any discussion on it's relevance and importance. The MONA FOMA article is not well-written but it is a notable event and with time and effort I am sure will raise to the standard required. The fact the instituion ties in with MONA does not preclude the article from being independently important and notable. I recommend discussing issues in the discussion page before such a rash move. This way it allows other users to be involved particularly when they are likely to know more about the topic concerned.--TinTin (talk) 03:10, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

reference

http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article2032058.ece says Though “Aakhri Khat” is my first film, I received my first break as a leading actor in Ravindra Dave's, “Raaz” in 1967. My heroine was Babita, already a popular actress then. Though I had lots of confidence, I was shy in facing the camera initially. In my first three shots, I had to perform with stress on my body language and dialogue delivery. Though I was right with my dialogues, my movements were not up to the mark. Ravindra Dave explained me my scenes and movements very clearly correcting my way of walking.

in two places same reference needs to be used.Paglakahinka (talk) 16:14, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Auteur Theory Comments

Hello! And thank you for the comments on the current dispute going on in Auteur Theory. If you have time could you also point me in the right direction for reading up on how to better handle situations like this one? I've read Wikipedia for so long, but now that I've just started editing, it would be an understatement to say that I'm overwhelmed by the protocols, etiquette, tag use, html, and pretty much everything else. I don't even think I have a page for myself yet and I have no idea how to do that. I apologize if this type of request is too menial. I just honestly don't know where to turn and you were the first to seem to respond to my initial request for assistance. Thanks again!

Cat Behaviour

Thanks, AB, however there is enough additional supporting information in the public domain that agrees with my edit without really needing to go publish a new book. In fact, there is more emperical evidence to support my edit than there is for global warming, right now. My last reference had content that was extremely detailed and seemingly provides a far better resource for the subject matter - I'm only trying to improve the content on this page. Addtionally, you already have uncited paragraphs on here which would also fall under the category of common knowledge.

If you feel the references provided have content that is disputable, then perhaps mark it as 'further citations needed' rather than removing it.. or if you do agree with the content, perhaps you could help track down a citation that you feel is more reliable than the 4 I listed from the thousands of pages that offer the same information? ... http://www.google.com.au/search?q=cat+blinking&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3Aen-au&sa=2

Here are 2 that I found to informative and accurate, the former being one of the original references: http://www.messybeast.com/cat_talk2.htm http://www.catsinternational.org/articles/senses_and_features/tail_ear_eye_signals.html

Felisa Wolfe-Simon edits

Hi Banana. Just to explain why I had to use a live article for my test: There was a problem with that particular article not showing the latest version (at least in the UK), so I was testing if there was a problem with new edits (which there was). I tried to keep it discreet, but the live test couldn't be helped in this case. The problem seems to be resolved now, and I reverted the edit immediately.

Salman Khan

Mr. Banana I've a question please. Why does this Salman Khan article still need citation verification tag, if there's no citation needed anymore?
