Michael Vaughn's birthplace
I stand corrected, though if France hasn't actually been mentioned in an episode, it might be worth noting the source for the information, since it's always possible a future episode might contradict it. (I don't know what Abram's standing is re:canon; Star Trek, for example, discounts everything that isn't mentioned on screen, even official profiles. According to the official profile for Jack Bristow, he was born in Canada, but I don't think this has ever been confirmed on screen, either. 23skidoo 04:20, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
GRider and the Great LucasCruft Purge
Might I ask what the hell could GRider be doing by making all of these articles Vfds. I can agree that some could be merged, but others like the Repulsorlift article that I created, should not suffer the wave of Vfd that he has been applying. This is utter nonsense, and its forces me to defend all SW articles like I'm Everyking with his little Ashlee Simpson fetish. Comments? -- Riffsyphon1024 03:18, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
::Well, you could talk to him. I don't know why he wants to nominate all these at once, instead of only a couple. But I guess we have little choice but to go to VfD and do a search of all instances of "Star Wars" on the page, and plead their cases. Is there a guideline/rule regarding someone's deletion requests per topic per day? If not, there should be. You could complain to an administrater about his completely unfair methods, but I'm content to just thwart them. I'll contact Shadowtrooper, and let him know the situation.-LtNOWIS 03:29, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The Star Wars Wiki is now up and running at [Removed Wikicities link OCT 2013]. -- Riffsyphon1024 11:06, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
- I dunno. I'd really like to preserve the interlinkability and quality of having Star Wars stuff on Wikipedia. Like when you research the LAAT and there's a link to helicopter gunship. I guess we could use mirroring a lot. We'd be allowed to copy content back and forth freely, right?-LtNOWIS 16:35, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Supposedly, but all the minor stuff that is being Vfd'd in the Great Lucascruft Purge needs to be transwikied to the Wookieepedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:50, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
VfD
Hi LtNOWIS,
Please don't take down the VfD header from an article (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Trade Federation PAC) while it's still being debated.
Cheers, dbenbenn | talk 18:02, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC). (P.S. I grew up in Reston!)
- And now its gone. I wanted this to be transwikied to the Star Wars Wiki [Removed Wikicities link OCT 2013]. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:20, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I thought the debating was done. How long does it usually last for, like a week? 10 days?-LtNOWIS 16:35, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter now. The admin temporarily reinstated it so I could copy the text and repost it at SWW. He doesn't like them to redirect however. He explained that the list of vehicles would be the place to direct to these articles at SWW. -- Riffsyphon1024 17:19, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

Mace Windu's death
The official site is not the top authority on canon. Only the movies are. Adamwankenobi 20:25, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
- Well, it's not top, but it's pretty far up there. It doesn't contradict the films, but rather confirms what they imply. Mace dies, according to Star Wars canon.-LtNOWIS 06:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Stub placement
Hi there,
Tank you for your work stubsorting. I just wanted to tell you that it is customary to place the stug tagged at the bottom on the page, usually underneath the categories and the other languages, not in the body of the article unless its an expand section tag. Thanks--Thomas.macmillan 20:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Tim bridgewater]]
Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg A tag has been placed on :Tim bridgewater requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tl|hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Reviewer permission
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:57, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

- Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
- Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
- Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
- Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
- You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback

Just letting you know that your edit of the above article this morning went wrong.

AIV and a question
Thanks for the AIV report on {{vandal|75.93.198.139}}. On the subject of number changing, this is something I see a lot when huggling. Do you have any advice or techniques for identifying number-changing vandalism and distinguishing it from legitimate edits? I often find plausible-looking number changing edits by IPs, such as changing the population of a city, and find myself wondering what is the best way to handle it. --causa sui (talk) 22:07, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- In this case, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Taylor_Swift_%28album%29&action=historysubmit&diff=436042094&oldid=435931015 these two edits]. I knew they were wrong based on knowledge of the singer, but even if I didn't, the new quote wouldn't make any sense, and it's a big change. So the edit was definitely suspicious enough that I would recommend checking the reference, which is linked right there. If it wasn't hyperlinked, than checking the Taylor Swift article would be really easy. Changing a direct quote is automatically suspect. The vandal's other edits were mostly the release dates of past albums and birthdates, which again are automatically suspect, because those figures should never change. Populations and sales figures are a bit trickier than that, but common sense helps. Ridiculous numbers or big changes should stand out. Checking the citation or the rest of the article helps. If an uncited number gets changed from one thing to another, then it was never really verifiable in the first place, and you can add a
{{Cite}} tag. For some things, like for me sports statistics, it's easiest to accept that you have no idea what the numbers mean, and defer to editors with more knowledge in the field. -LtNOWIS (talk) 23:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi - I made some removals after investigation. Please have a look at what I have left and let me know if you think it is now npov and not undue,thanks - Youreallycan (talk) 20:11, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again - there has been some more of a similar pattern of undue weight additions to the Ellen Corbett article. As you are more local would you have a look at the recent edit history of this BLP and let me know what you think, the article is now semi protected for a little while - regards - Youreallycan 20:59, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
- You made the right call in simply reverting those edits. SPAs using biography articles as political attack pages is pretty much a textbook case of POV-pushing, even it it wasn't a BLP article. The word choice in those edits was simply egregious, with the bill being "gutted" and taxpayers being "shocked." But I think the POV and sourcing issues were secondary to the fact that it was a clear case of WP:SYNTH. There's no source that connects Corbett with Solyndra, but the editor draws these separate threads together to create a narrative. That would be great for a blog or newspaper, but we don't do original research here. So yeah, you made the right call. Let me know if you ever need me to look at it again. -LtNOWIS (talk) 02:29, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Or rather, there is a source that indirectly connects Corbett with Solyndra, but the stuff about the one bill's language going into another bill is all OR. -LtNOWIS (talk) 02:37, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

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.

Have time on Saturday?
I'm sorry for the last-minute notice, but on Saturday, June 8, from 3 to 6 PM, Wikimedia DC and the Cato Institute are hosting a Legislative Data Meetup. We will discuss the work done so far by WikiProject U.S. Federal Government Legislative Data to put data from Congress onto Wikipedia, as well as what more needs to be done. If you have ideas you'd like to contribute, or if you're just curious and feel like meeting up with other Wikipedians, you are welcome to come! Be sure to RSVP here if you're interested.
I hope to see you there!
