Paco de Lucía
In this edit you say he was named Gomes and not Gomez, but the source write it with a "z". Christian75 (talk) 23:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
No, Paco and Pepe de Lucía's mother, Lucia Gomes, was Portuguese and her surname was Gomes, not Gómez. Evidently I missed something when I was corrected the surname. Thanks.

WP:Italics/Anne Heche article
Hello, Rms125a@hotmail.com. With regard to the Anne Heche article, I can't yet decipher all of what you changed; I'm sure I'll disagree with your definition of "promotion" in this case once I do decipher all of it (though I likely won't revert/raise the matter as an issue). But, with regard to using italics for the entire quotes, that violates WP:Italics (which has a Quotations subsection in addition to the other subsections it has, such as with regard to what is appropriate emphasis). Flyer22 (talk) 16:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Also, if you reply to me about this, I'd prefer that you reply here at your talk page so that the discussion is kept in one place. Flyer22 (talk) 16:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
On a side note: Regarding this, be careful with the word claim; I usually remove that word (plural or not), per WP:CLAIM. The only reason that I did not remove it from the gay father bit (which was there before your edits to that section today) is because Heche is making a serious/heavy claim about a person. But for Heche stating that she was "insane for the first 31 years of her life," the word claims absolutely should not be used. Regarding the messages you left on my talk page, blockquotes are not much better because, per WP:Blockquote, quotes should be a certain length (the length WP:Blockquote specifies) before being put into blockquote. And too many blockquotes can give an article a messy look. As for having split this discussion because you were late to getting my second message above, no worries; I will simply post a WP:Permalink (a second if required) of this discussion there, which will show the complete discussion. I was able to deduce, from seeing your talk page, that you split discussions; that is what propelled to me to request that you don't split this one. Flyer22 (talk) 16:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Flyer22: Oh, good. I don't know how to do Permalinks and stuff like that. No excuses, just never learned. Too lazy, old dog, new tricks, etc. Although I must point out that I wasn't exactly "late to getting my second message above"; if anything I guess I responded too quickly to your first message! Funny, that!
::: Thanks for the advice re WP:CLAIM. Yours, Quis separabit? 16:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)- For documentation, in case you or anyone else reading this section wants quick access to the full discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

L'Wren Scott
Thanks Robert for developing this crucial page that was incredibly visited by 222,000 viewers just yesterday... http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/L%27Wren_Scott It needed a great revamp though and adding of missing pieces, like her previous marriage, circumstances of her suicide and financial status of her businesses which I now have reworked. Plus some more controversial matters like her name. By the way, I never heard of the name of this designer until today, but somehow her life fascinated me as I made further research on her life and career. So sad though about her fate. werldwayd (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Jack Little (politician)
You claimed that Jack Little was one of two non-Catholics in the ALP (anti-Communist), the original name of the DLP, in the Victorian Parliament, whereas previously it was stated that he was the only one. He was the only non-Catholic. The other non-Catholic parliamentarian was Robert Joshua, the House of Representatives Member for Ballarat, and the leader of the ALP (anti-Communist) in the federal parliament. Joshua was never a member of the Victorian Parliament. The original comment was correct, and should be changed back, or at least qualified with a reference to Joshua's membership of the federal parliament.Noreen45 (talk) 23:00, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Charles Keating
For your information, Charles Keating is a GA article with an active maintainer (me). Please do not remove deadlink sources just because they are no longer immediately accessible. Please see Wikipedia:DEADLINK#Mitigating_a_dead_link: "Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with [dead link] for a long time." Statements like "Keating graduated from St. Xavier in 1941.[4]" should not be replace with "citeneeded" flags just because the URL no longer works. Statements like these are still adequately sourced, it's just harder to get at the source. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:08, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand your comment "I was just trimming in light of Keating's recent death". Just because the subject died doesn't mean the article has to be shortened. The diffs of your edits are very difficult to follow (that's the fault of WP software, not you). Can you tell me what you think is wrong with the article in terms of content? I see comments like "POV", "OR", "cruft" - what exactly? Wasted Time R (talk) 02:26, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- I just restored the deadlink I removed. As far as POV, I would say terms like "Indeed" (not in quotes), or "well known", rather than just "known", depending on the circumstances. Stuff like that. Why don't you compare the diffs and see if the article doesn't look a tad better. If not tell me where I screwed up. Yours, Quis separabit? 02:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- You don't need to put "ISBN needed" on all the short form book cites; its in the long form in each book's first cite. (Better would be to move those books into a bibliography section.) You have eliminated what you think are redundant cites but they are actually needed for me to tell what text goes with what cite. You've put all the quotes in italics; what MoS guideline says to do that? You've taken the life out of some of the wording: "In late 1988, Keating began desperate attempts to sell Lincoln" is based on sources and conveys to the reader much better the feeling of what was happening than "In late 1988, Keating began attempts to sell Lincoln". If the source says it was desperate, why can't we say it was desperate? That's not "POV", that's engaging prose, what articles are supposed to aspire to. And most of what you've changed I won't even be able to figure out without doing a side-by-side walkthrough of the formatted articles before and after - parts of that big diff are completely unmanageable. Sigh. You don't know how many hours I spent researching and writing this one. What can I say. Wasted Time R (talk) 02:50, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
- No I don't want to revert all your edits. I just want a change to the culture here where every article is automatically considered unsatisfactory and unmaintained, in need of cleaning up, rearranging, reformatting, cruft removal, etc, all in sweeping edits with little explanation. And that whenever the subject is in the news it's open season on the article. Some articles are actually pretty good and had people work really hard to make them that way. I've been here a long time and of course I know that in WP you get no credit for work done and no credit for knowing a lot about the subject and no credit for having thought a long time about the article and that everything can be redone by others. But still. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:10, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

ISBNs for DLP article
A heading has been placed above the DLP (historical) article claiming that ISBN numbers should be included for some references. There were no ISBN numbers shown on books before somewhere about 1970. The books shown in the references by Tom Truman and Alan Dalziel I think do not have ISBN numbers shown inside their covers because they were published earlier than 1970. An editor with a keen interest on Hungarian-Australians has inserted reference numbers from the National Library of Australia for some books without ISBN numbers. Perhaps I could do this?
Also two very important references seem to have been removed. These are the book by Paul Reynolds with the title Democratic Labor Party and the book by Robert Murray on The Split. I can restore these later when I'm up to it, as I have been ill lately following surgery. Thank you for your comment on my talk page. You do very good work for WP.Noreen45 (talk) 04:07, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

I reviewed the contributions you made to the David L Cook article. Please contact a contributing editor before you simply start hacking at an article. The sources and the whens and whys are described in the sources that were given. If there is not a source in the location you placed, it was down at the end of the paragraph. If you want to make edits or you have questions I would appreciate that in the future you contact a contributing editor before simply taking those kinds of steps. I understand being bold in your edits, but the ones you made were not helping to improve the article. Please contact me if you have any questions or comments on my talk page.

Bernie Wolfe (politician)
Hi, Rms! I see you removed some more from Wolfe's article and asked for clarification on some points. Most of what was added there was by a family member with this edit. As you can see, nothing was sourced. I removed some info before you did, which was also unclear to me. If they clarify, I'm sure it won't be sourced. If Wolfe wasn't so instrumental in developing the cities of Winnipeg and Regina, I would chuck it all and speedy this one. C'est la guerre! — Wyliepedia 05:10, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rms125a@hotmail.com. Your comments at Talk:S. Truett Cathy seem to be randomly indented, making threads difficult to follow. Would you mind properly indenting your comments per WP:INDENT and WP:TPG? All you need to do is count the number of colons in the comment that you're replying to and add one additional colon to it for your own reply. By using the show preview button, you can see if you got it right and adjust as needed. Thanks in advance.- MrX 21:36, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Salem witch trials
I see that back in June you renamed many of the articles on related people to include the suffix "(Salem witch trials)". This does have the merit of consistency, but it goes against the general principle of not unnecessarily dsambiguating. Another editor has chosen, last month, to give that principle priority by renaming Deliverance Dane (Salem witch trials) to the un-disambiguated form. Was the original change to the longer form a result of a discussion somewhere? Colonies Chris (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Please make sure sources match the information you are citing them for
That wasn't the case in your edit here:
- This 1997 newspaper article does not contain information about a 2006 event, or support the notion that they "continue[] to dominate" "today".
- does not name any of the guests.
- This newspaper article does not contain the "of the year" quote. (The other ref that you removed from that sentence supported it, in a somewhat different version.)

Shin Dong-hyuk
Sorry, but I cannot follow your reasoning “you may be right (see talkpage discussions), but you can't just delete sourced text with which you disagree)” to delete my latest revision. So you agree that based on the discussion it may be right to remove the two sentences about Abt. But then you say it cannot be deleted just because it is sourced text? Well, if something does not really make sense, I see no reason to keep it, do you? Furthermore I think Abt’s book is not a source for criticism. He doesn’t know Shin and doesn’t know about the human rights situation in North Korea. He just read the story in the newspaper and made a marginal note in his book. This does not really qualify as a source, at least not for this article. Wikipedia Verifiability says “While information must be verifiable in order to be included in an article, this does not mean that all verifiable information must be included in an article. Consensus may determine that certain information does not improve an article, and that it should be omitted or presented instead in a different article. The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.” Exactly this applies to the two sentences I removed. I think some time ago this was included, as someone thought that there must be a kind of criticism section. But he did not find any better source than Abt’s book (and this fact should tell us something). Anyway now we have the North Korean government as source for criticism and do not need the other poor source anymore. So I do not see any reason to keep the two sentences. -- Gamnamu (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Your question
RE: How am I supposed to know what you are going to write about? Quis separabit? 18:33, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
- Seeing that 179th and 180th New York State Legislature are blue links, there's a good chance that after 180 articles there will be coming more... Besides, the red links of unquestionably notable subjects should not be removed. The "What links here" function shows an editor, at the time of writing an article, where the subject was mentioned already. That helps a lot to dig up facts. Kraxler (talk) 18:44, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
September 1
I have no particular quibble with your recent edits to September 1, etc., but I thought I'd remind you -- assuming you haven't reread the page notice in a while -- that "global notability" is no longer part of the current WP:DOY standard. How exactly you've determined that birth/death days of Japanese actresses aren't notable, Hungarian footballers are, Israeli windsurfers are not, but American comediennes are, quite frankly, mystifies me.
Not being a big believer in astrology, I'd probably be tempted to dump the whole lot, but at the same time there's a column in every major U.S. paper listing major births/deaths "On This Day" so we do have to kind of respect that. It's a good way to get our readers to delve in and learn new things (DOY items are on the main page for just such a reason).
Although I trust your judgement, policy-wise right now discerning birth/death inclusion remains a little up in the air, and I'd be interested to understand your thought process, or to get any feedback on how we could improve the policy as it now stands. -- Kendrick7talk 04:56, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
You know, proof that merely talking something out loud can sometimes lead to new solutions, I think I do have a way forward, should the language at WP:ALMANAC not be a problem.

I have been watching the user Marvellous Spider-Man's (formerly Rainbow Archer) edits because I believe they follow a style similar to a banned editor and I noticed you also pointed that out, more directly, on the Kayla Day afd.

William Sly death
I noticed you removed the 16th August link for the death of William Sly, without giving any explanation or reason. The burial date is entirely correct, and is frequently used in place of date-of-death for individuals of that antiquity. Everyone is welcome of course to query dates, but it's churlish and unwarranted to simply remove without any reason given. Please explain, in the meantime the edit is reinstated. Bwcajp (talk) 13:32, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
- @Bwcajp: The 16th August was the date he was buried (what's "interned", btw?); this is not the day he died. Simple as that. And I will remove any other "death" dates which are actually the burial dates. It's not personal. Quis separabit? 18:31, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
Okey, date of burial (internment includes addition to family vaults so is a more encompassing term) is not the same as date of death, clearly. Provided this rule is consistently implemented with other entries I've no qualms with removal. The problem is however that there are very many other historical entries that use date of internment/burial in lieu of date of death when records for such are lacking. Note especially dates pre-AD1500, where for most people very few dates of death (or birth) can be accurately determined, in England parish registers before 1700 often only record burials, not dates of death.

Deprecation
I'm out of my depth here but your removal of a Template:CongLinks as 'deprecated' I can't find any backing for. Looking here there's no mention of deprecation; nor here, of CongLinks. Can you help? Linda McMahon is the page on which you did the removal that I noticed. Maybe it's one of the sources -- your 'links' -- listed in the CongLinks that's 'deprecated'? Is there a list of deprecated sources? ... From this next discovery -- Wikipedia:Deprecated and orphaned templates -- I see further how little I know of this terrain. Some guidance would be appreciated if you can give it.
But I probed yet further. First I decided to find what CongLinks does/do. And found several useful links under External links that you'd eliminated with your edit; and one dead link, the 2012 campaign website (redirected to an unrelated niacin site). I changed course and reverted your edit, labeling the dead link and promising this discussion here to come. As I previewed my reversion I saw this block of warnings:
- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "ontheissues" (this message is shown only in preview).
- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "imdb" (this message is shown only in preview).
- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "washpo" (this message is shown only in preview).
- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "worldcat" (this message is shown only in preview).

- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "ballot" (this message is shown only in preview).
- Warning: Page using Template:CongLinks with unknown parameter "c-span" (this message is shown only in preview).
Now I expect they have something to do with your initial reversion; though I will note there's nothing about deprecation there .... So after one false ending to this query, I hope the query's still clear enough and, again, you can guide me. I'm sorry if I was premature in reverting yours but it is a story in the news and I didn't like seeing seemingly good info lost to the article. (One further note: C-Span, somehow, does appear in the for-the-moment restored links on the page, seemingly working fine.) Thanks. Swliv (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Swliv -- Now I expect 'they' have something to do with your initial reversion; though I will note there's nothing about deprecation there As Ed McMahon used to say to Johnny Carson, "You are correct, sir". In the instant case, that of Linda McMahon, she was never elected to office despite her two Senate tries so I see no reason to keep a[n outdated] cocktail of links which are meant only for elected US congresspersons. In general, I observed the same thing you did, i.e. that the template in question ("CongLinks" ...) is chock full of now firecracker red "unknown parameters", which, in my book, means they have been deprecated somehow, either via a discussion consensus or technological updates by this encyclopaedia itself. Quis separabit? 16:54, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Swliv -- Now I expect 'they' have something to do with your initial reversion; though I will note there's nothing about deprecation there
- Quis separabit? With deference I've worked more on the CongLinks (removing all deprecated-s) and restored the two other actives of them to the section that have real, if overlapping, info in them. Yes, it was ultimately an unsuccessful campaign but I think there was a successful nominating race; and it was perhaps crass but I noted there that an apparent $50M campaign even if unsuccessful is still something even in this day and age. ... Powerful motto. ... I do see now that the template is in fact meant only for members of Congress; but it does seem to work appropriately (and invisibly as to the misuse) here. One person's 'outdated' is another person's 'history' and this encyclopaedia does traffic in the latter also. Probably it should better be integrated into the text as with most External links; or disentangled completely from CongLinks (you'll tell me that by your next action(s)) but I'm hoping for a pass on these small variances here. ... Your tweaking & trimming across the whole article is certainly impressive and beyond me even to review so far but I trust it's not 'excessive'. I was glad to see you (and the IP editor) so far retained both the 'head-hitting with chair' (+/-) text and the restored-by-me perfectly illustrative pic -- which the IP ed. had elided on false ('not directly ... related'), I'd say, pretext); ed. at same IP# also removed another pic on similarly apparently false ('composite'; Harriers do look weird taking off but the pic and its sourcing looked genuine to me) grounds at the same time. 'Excessive' trimming by another, for example if necessary at all, in those instances. On! Thanks again. ... Saw Doc sitting in for Ed today (on mute; I forget the guest(s)) ....

No surname pun intended? Ha! Always on one's toes! Swliv (talk) 04:05, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Swliv - the free access non-cable adjuncts in NYC include COZI (NBC - old TV shows), Decades (CBS - you know what it's got), and Buzzr (like Game Show Network but with fewer options - Fox affiliate Channel 9/NYC). Quis separabit? 06:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

- @Swliv -- OK, do as you wish. I won't interfere. Where do you watch old episodes of Carson? OMG -- just realized that Ed and Linda share same surname. Brainfreeze. Quis separabit? 03:03, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
Notability of Hins Cheung
I believe I've updated the article on Hins Cheung sufficiently to establish notability. If you agree, please remove the notability template you added. If you disagree, please respond to my thread on the Hins Cheung talk page. Thisisnotatest (talk) 11:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- The Wall Street Journal article appears to be behind the WSJ paywall when accessed from Wikipedia, although I got to read the full article when I accessed it from Google News. Hins Cheung gets three paragraphs in the article. That said, Wikipedia does not require that the article be accessible on the web. Thisisnotatest (talk) 11:20, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Thisisnotatest -- I looked it over, retagged, and removed what was pretty clearly OR and POV text. Yours, Quis separabit? 17:01, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

RE: Seeberville Murders
Though I deny claiming ownership over the Seeberville Murders article, I do intend to revert the article as I had put quite a lot of effort into several new sections within said article. If you have any objection to that please let me know as the content that will be reverted consisted of fully-sourced claims backed up by historians, local news sources of the time and other contemporary historical documents. Furthermore, I was unable to attend the initial discussion of the report as I am currently within shelter care and have time restrictions on the internet as a result of my schedule here.

I did not, as you said, "copy and paste" from other web sites. However, I have been using several books as well as a variety of recycled sources. I rephrase most of the wording and the books that I do use no longer have copyright status. The Copper Miner (talk) 16:18, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
Anna Wintour's citizenship
Per this edit: I would refer you to this discussion on the talk page. While a lot of her activities suggest she's been naturalized, or somehow perhaps inherited her U.S. citizenship from her mother, I've never found a clear source stating that she is a U.S. citizen. So if it isn't explicitly in the article, we shouldn't have it as a category. Daniel Case (talk) 02:44, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Um ... unfortunately, that's a Daily Mail article, and because of that upstanding publication's admitted history of making stuff up sometimes to drive traffic to their website, there is considerable resistance to treating them as a reliable source for anything besides sports. And I agree ... if the Mail says your mother loves you, turn around because she's probably behind you with a knife. Can you find another, less dubious source? Daniel Case (talk) 21:55, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Daniel Case --Oh. I am a Yank. Didn't realize the Daily Mail was held in such low esteem. Quis separabit? 21:56, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Me too. Daniel Case (talk) 23:53, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that ancestry.com link isn't coming through. Intriguing, though ... do we know if the "Anna Wintour" mentioned is indeed the current Vogue editor? Daniel Case (talk) 00:40, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Why did you undo this edit? It seems like an irrelevant factoid in a seemingly random area of the article. — k_scheik talk to me! 02:19, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
- @K scheik -- you're right re (, ) -- I screwed up. Someone else has fixed it since then, anyway. Yours, Quis separabit? 16:27, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
