Words of wisdom from a cherished source

Robert - feel free to blank this again, as is your right, but can I just ask you to slow down for a minute and step back from this? You're fast approaching old territory again. I know you mean well here, and I've supported you in the past. Just ... chill, take it easy, and careful with the comments about others - Alison ^❤ 22:02, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

REGARDING MY USERNAME

To anyone who has a question about my username please read the following. I have no intention of changing the username. It makes no sense since so far several editors (including admins, who should know better, whom I call "administraitors") have gone to the trouble of unearthing past history which had nothing to do with whatever was going on at the moment. As I am never to be allowed to put my past behind me without it being brought up like a weapon to assail me for others' tactical or rhetorical advantage, I have decided to follow the advice I received from another editor and "embrace" it.

Robert is one of the few editors who is not obliged to change his username, as his account was created many years before the rules were changed - Alison ^❤ 02:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Liz Smith

Hi, in this edit you indicate that Liz Smith was born in 1922 indicating the findmypast index has the birth in 1922. As she was born in December and the birth was registered in the March quarter of 1922 then the birth must have taken place in 1921 and registered the following year in 1922.

Your edit

Regarding this edit, please notice that you reverted quite a bit of edits other people made. You must have gotten an edit conflict and you shouldn't proceed to save your version when you get it, because it will remove other people's legitimate edits. In general, when you edit a busy article it is a good idea to edit just one section at a time to reduce the likelihood of edit conflicts. --BorgQueen (talk) 18:37, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

I won't go into semantic arguments about the definition of "cruft" or "quite a bit of", but please see Wikipedia:EDITCONFLICT#Resolving_an_edit_conflict: "Bob should not just post his changes over the top of Alice's. We assume good faith – mistakes are occasionally made, and newcomers may not understand the edit conflict window. However, Bob must not routinely ignore edit conflicts. It is absolutely not acceptable for Bob to overwrite Alice out of laziness. We encourage contributors to double-check their merges by using the diff feature." --BorgQueen (talk) 05:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Maurice Buckley

I do not understand why you removed the references to this fellow's history of venereal disease. It is silly to put these blokes on a pedestal in this way. Aside from his gallantry his army records show him to be quite a larrikin. The truth is what we aim to have here not some half baked beatification application. However I am open to contrary argument and am interested to find out your thinking. That is I won't edit the page peremptorily. You can reply here as I am watching. Cheers Silent Billy (talk) 07:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

You said I rv it (9 months ago) because there is no mention of any STDS in Buckley's biodata at ADB and I questioned the legitimacy of such allegations. If you have valid sources that confirm what you are saying then do what you have to do.

It's clearly in his service records held at the NAA - there's an external link to the digitised record. I want to be careful about this - there is some sensitivity about this sort of stuff but on the other hand not talking about it perpetuates the Bean myth that Anzacs were all wholesome clean limbed 6 foot sun bronzed celibate sons of Austral when they were far from that. I would like to know what you think before doing anything - or nothing. Silent Billy (talk) 01:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Habsburg

Short Version: "After his graduation he fought against the Nazis and the Anschluss of Austria to the German Reich. In 1938 he wrote a letter to Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg in which he asked him to resist the Nazis. After the Anschluss he published an appeal supporting an international intervention. Throughout the war he lived in American exile."

That's just a short and "fast" translation, I'll try to expand that section in the next days. HerkusMonte (talk) 19:02, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

En not em dashes for page and year ranges

Hi, I noticed at Alfred Burke, and possibly elsewhere, you've added — em dashes between years or full dates. Please note that an – en dash is required (WP:MOSDASH). There's a very good script you can easily click on to change a hyphen to the correct en dash, if that helps. Buzz me if you want the details? Tony (talk) 11:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Jolie and Magda Gabor

Your insistence on making unexplained edits to watchlisted pages and reverting and ignoring other editors' comments and talk page discussions is not an auspicious way to edit Wikipedia. It will cause others to view you with suspicion for violating WP:AGF and will likely at some point lead to your being blocked for WP:3RR. Please reconsider how you do business on Wikipedia. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 15:06, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

All DoBs I provided are well known on ALL major Biography sites concerning the Gabor's and have been verified be Zsa Zsa Gabor herself. Even a site such such as imdb has all the information correct. Maybe I'm just tired of seeing blatant erroneous information on Wikipedia from individuals who are less than expert on given matters.

Page abbreviations, username.

Re [1] and [2], please undo your changing of "p." and "pp." to "pg." and "pgs." per for example Template:Cite book. Also please change your username from an email address to a normal username. -- Jeandré, 2011-07-24t20:51z
