Ruben Santiago-Hudson

I've reverted your edit of Ruben Santiago-Hudson's name to Ruben Hudson. Santiago-Hudson is credited as Ruben Santiago-Hudson in the show credits, and although his name is occasionally not hyphenated, he is always credited as Santiago-Hudson. Changing his name to other than the credited form is inaccurate, and further edits may be regarded as vandalism. Drmargi (talk) 20:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

September 2009

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Scrubs (TV series), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 00:53, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Recent edits to U.S. presidential election articles

I have concerns about a number of the edits you have been making lately to articles about U.S. presidential elections. My biggest concern is that on many occasions you have made made significant changes to articles, sometimes contradicting information that was in the article, without any discussion on the talk page or even an edit summary. If you make edits without any sort of comment on their purpose, they are easily confused with vandalism.

Many of the edits I have seen (but not all) are indeed highly questionable. For example, in these edits, you removed the running mate information from the infobox of the 1796 presidential election article, and in this edit you did the same for 1800. While the election structure before the 12th Amendment did not allow for candidates to formally run separately for president and vice-president, they were de facto running mates.

In this edit you doubled the "needed to win" figure for the 1789 presidential election and in this edit you did the same for the 1792 election. In both cases the figures you gave were clearly incorrect.

In this edit, you changed the party affiliation for John Quincy Adams in the 1820 election from Democratic-Republican to Independent. He was certainly a Republican at the time.

In this edit, you changed the party affiliation for Horace Greeley in the 1872 election from Liberal Republican to Democratic. Greeley was one of the chief organizers of the Liberal Republican party. After they nominated him as their candidate for president, the Democrats, hoping to elect anybody but Grant, nominated him also. It would make sense to add the Democratic party to the template after the Liberal Republican party, but I don't think the template can handle that. In any case, removing the Liberal Republican party was wrong.

When you edit an article, you should always provide an edit summary. And if you are going to make changes like some of those above, where you disagree with the content of an article that has stood for some time and appears to be commonly agreed upon, particularly when you are not citing sources for the change, it would be a good idea to discuss the change on the talk page first. You might find that what you think you know is not true.

Thanks — JPMcGrath (talk) 13:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC) Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edits you made to article, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed.

Please use edit summaries

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. -Phoenixrod (talk) 03:32, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Georgetown football

Hi there. I appreciate that someone is putting some work into the Georgetown Hoyas football article. My only concern is why you removed the images. I think the historic one is nice, and unique. And the current one I thought was a given, since it shows the team on its home field. What's up?-- Patrick, _oѺ^∞ 22:29, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Houston Cougars football

I noticed you removed the College Football Performance Awards trophy winner from Houston Cougars football without a rationale. This was already resolved on the talk page as per the many references from the official athletics website of the Houston Cougars. Future removal will constitute vandalism WP:VANDAL and an administrator will be notified. Thank you for using Wikipedia. Obamafan70 (talk) 05:30, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

College football team seasons

Ben76266, I've noticed a lot of your work on college football articles of late, particularly that you created a few articles for Virginia Cavaliers football seasons. Good work! Just wanted to bring a couple formatting issues to your attention, particularly if you plan on creating more football season articles, which I hope you do. First, watch out for capitalization. For example, "football team" as in "2001 Virginia Cavaliers football team" should be lower case. Second, all records and scores should be punctuated with an en dash, not a hyphen. You can make an en dash by entering the following code: –. See Dash and Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Dashes for more on that. Thanks. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Alvin Greene

I've reverted your edits to the Alvin Greene article. (1) He is no longer in the military, so his occupation is not "soldier". (2) A non-incumbent candidate does not have the job title of "politician". (3) The other candidates are credible and newsworthy (Tom Clements, the Green Party candidate, is ahead of Greene in the polls) and deserve to be mentioned in the article. Those are just the changes I caught. I'm happy to discuss this if you want to. JTRH (talk) 13:13, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Clayton Yeutter Revert

I have reverted your edit on the Clayton Keith Yeutter page. Without explanation you gave precedence to his time as RNC Chairman. Not only was his work as Secretary of Agriculture more notable, but it is the position that best defines his career. Please start a discussion on the talk page if you disagree. ~ Fopam (talk) 01:22, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Joe Paterno's final season

Just wondering why you chose to revert the note that the fall 2011 season was Joe Paterno's final season coaching at Penn State? 46 years is quite an accomplishment and should be noted when the "reign" ended. Bob305 (talk) 04:02, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

ESPN College Football on ABC results

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of ESPN College Football on ABC results, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: College Football on ABC results. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 04:34, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeannine Edwards (sportscaster)

A tag has been placed on Jeannine Edwards (sportscaster) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BusterD (talk) 02:42, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Sam Seaborn

I see you're working on the article on The Counselor to the President, and have added that title to Sam Seaborn of The West Wing (TV series), citing a scene from the pilot. What Sam actually says is that he is a counselor (common noun) to the President, which is not the same thing. He is subordinate to Toby Zigler, who is the WH Communications Director, yet the Counselor (proper noun) oversees Communications along with several other offices according to the WP article, so it can't be Sam because Sam can't be both superior to and subordinate to Toby at the same time. Moreover, it's the only time Sam describes himself that way. The point of the scene was that Sam was talking over the children's heads while trying to impress Leo McGary's daughter, who he believed was one of them. It wasn't establishing his role in the west wing. --Drmargi (talk) 20:50, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Quick note on use of permalinks when linking to Founders.archives.gov

Just a quick note on using permalinks when linking to Founders.archives.gov (for example in editing the George Washington article or in editing the John Adams article).

It's preferable to use the permalink rather than the search result link, because the search result link may get out of date as more documents are added to Founders.archives.gov.

There's more information on the issue here:

https://founders.archives.gov/about/permalinks

So every few weeks I've just been looking for added search result links, and changing them over to permalinks.

Major film studio move

Apparently you did not read the article since you place in the edit summary:

• "Article moved and retitled 'American film studios' as it only covers film studios primarily active in the U.S. and Canada"
• "moved page Major film studio to American film studios: The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject."

There are no non-American major studios, but there are some listed as mini-majors are:

• Gaumont Film Company - France
• Nordisk Film (The Egmont Group) based in Denmark but has operations in various northern European countries
• Clasart Film (Leonine Holding) based in Germany
• Constantin Film (Highlight Communications) Germany

Pathe used to a large production company early on, but its never been called a major studio, nor called part of the (pre=golden age) Trust. Changing it to "America film studio" opens it up to more than just the major and mini-major film studios, opens up the floodgate to list any and all production companies. As there are not any published standard to be one (major and mini-major) except for the media to consider them one. --Spshu (talk) 21:02, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Of the hundreds of film studios mentioned in the article, you mention the 4 that are non-American. The vast majority of film studios listed on this page are based in the United States, which is why the move should be made.

Film production companies are different than film studios. A film studio (like the big five and mini-majors) handle financing and distribution of films, not the actual production. If you look at any film page on Wikipedia, you will notice that production company and distributor are separate lines in info-boxes for this reason. This article in particular deals with film distributors such as Warner Brothers, Paramount, Sony, Disney and Universal.

The published standard for major and mini-major can be found in the market share rankings next to each studio. Any distributor that has less than 1% market share cannot claim to be major or mini-major.

I have moved this discussion to the talk page of the relevant article where it belongs.

Look don't lecture, Me. I know the subject. I know the different between Film production companies are different than film studios, but film production companies and film studios is some what of a synonymous. You don't get to define them. The do get into production else why the actual physical studio that they own. the article deals with MAJOR FILM STUDIOS. Distribution doesn't make the even a mini-major as MGM was still consider a mini-major while not have little if any distribution for a period of this status. But any America studio that produces and distributes could arguable considered an "American film studio". Spshu (talk) 22:54, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
