Fleetwood Mac
Hi, I altered Fleetwood Mac's album sales as the figure previously stated was incorrect. I cannot find a specific reference but I can easily identify each album sales which altogether total at least 120 million which is why I changed it from 100 million. I am a fan of theirs and I think it's only right that their accomplishments are correctly shown on their Wikipedia page. Please understand my concern. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.157.138 (talk) 19:07, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Comment?Hi. Would you care to weigh in at this talk page post regarding genre changes at the article Led Zeppelin IV? It would be greatly appreciated if an edit war could be avoided there.

Feel free to remove this once you do. —Josh3580talk/hist 22:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC) Just wondering, are you or other administrators/CheckUsers still available to clerk around the long-term abuse page, or is that a practically abandoned project alongside the Wikipedia:Abuse response page? AFAICS, most of the LTA cases are dealt with through global locks and blocks and Meta now, so much of the workpile has shifted to the Stewards responsibility, which probably accounts for the low maintenance we have on that page now. Anyway, I wanted to ask to propose the removal of one of the long-term abuse cases from that page, specifically Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/General Tojo as he has been inactive since 2011, and there seems to be no further need to keep tabs on him on this page, due to the above mentioned reasons. I might go through some more abandoned cases and try to get the main long-term abuse page cleaned up more properly, so we can focus on the more current LTA sockpuppetry cases. In short, this project probably needs a restart of some sort. TeleComNasSprVen (talk • contribs) 03:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
NNNNNOOOOO! The Signpost: 12 February 2014As reported in various media outlets this week, including The Next Web and The Daily Dot, this past week, Wikimedia Commons and various language Wikipedias are working together to encourage subjects of Wikipedia articles to record a 10-second clip of their voice to be appended to their Wikipedia article.
Software evolution does not always mean that features are being added. It also means that old fat is being trimmed. It is no different for MediaWiki.
In a bold move, the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees has announced a major change in policy concerning affiliated groups in the worldwide movement, and FDC funding levels to eligible chapters and thematic organizations over the next two years. Both decisions were published last Tuesday after considerable post-meeting consultation with the FDC and the Affiliations Committee (AffCom). The core of the first decision is
Thirteen articles, three lists, and twenty-five images were promoted to "featured" status on the English Wikipedia from 19 January to 1 February.
Two great sporting events, the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics, collide in one week, transforming the top ten into a festival of flying feet, a carnival of colliding caraniums and a bacchanal of bouncing balls, combined to influence Wikipedia's most popular articles last week.
In celebration of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, we revisited the team at WikiProject Russia to learn how the project has changed since our first interview in 2011.

The annual Wikimedia Conference wound up last Sunday, 13 April—a four-day meeting costing several hundred thousand dollars, hosted in Berlin by Wikimedia Germany and attended by more than 100 Wikimedians.
Hey you—yeah you, the Wikipedian! Do you want to help a museum, a library, a university, or other organization explore ways to engage with Wikipedia? Great—you should offer your expertise as a Wikipedian in residence!
Cynthia Ashley-Nelson, who edited as "Cindamuse" on the Wikimedia projects, passed away in her sleep at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin on 10 April.
This week, we visited WikiProject Catholicism.
After just over a month of deliberation, the Wikimania jury has selected Wikimedia Mexico's bid to host Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City, with a proposed date of 15–19 July.
If I were the kind of person who made snap judgments based on flimsy evidence, I'd say our readership is in a funk.
Fourteen articles, four lists, seven pictures, and one topic attained "featured" status on the English Wikipedia over the last two weeks.

Change of username requestOn 18th May, you left a message on my talk page saying that my request for a change of username had been rejected. You said to leave any query here, which I did, did not look for the reply here (didn't get notification of a reply) and now it has been erased. I tracked it down in "View history", but after clicking on the "here" link in your message, I'm still not clear what I did wrong. Can you clarify, please? My request was to change my username from "P123cat1" to P123ct", which I checked was still available; then following the instructions I filled in current user name, proposed new name and reason for change, leaving no gaps anywhere, and not putting in a heading. --P123cat1 (talk) 14:52, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I know all I needed to do was reapply, but wanted to check with you whether I had made a mistake when filling in the form the first time. If you say what I did looks OK, I can't see how they can have rejected it. I have done exactly the same thing this time, so it will be interesting to see what they make of it this time! --P123cat1 (talk) 19:14, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Your recent warnings on User talk:MetalicMadnessRegarding the recent warnings you have given User:MetalicMadness, MetalicMadness is correct in removing two of those genres: "dream pop" and "space rock". Neither is sourced in the article, and per WP:V, information like that should be sourced somewhere in the article (though not necessarily in the infobox itself). The boilerplate messages you keep leaving on MetalicMadness's talk page even talk about requiring sources, which these genres do not have. Heck, in one of your edit summaries, you ask for sources, even though none exist in the article supporting those two genres. "Psychedelic Rock" is sourced, and should stay, but giving MetalicMadness warnings for correctly removing unsourced opinions from an article, especially after MetalicMadness explained their actions, is not proper. You should remove those unsourced genres right away, or find reliable sources supporting those genres (WP:ALBUM/SOURCES is a good place to start looking). MrMoustacheMM (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Recent warnings?I was wondering about some recent warnings of yours to MetalicMadness. I was just looking for clarification of why you have been ignoring their questions. Do you believe they were asked in bad faith? I don't quite understand, ignoring him/her isn't going to make them stop editing like that. Thanks, Lixxx235 (talk) 20:24, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Star Trek, Season Three, Original SeriesDear Sir/Madam: I have read your note to me, that you reverted changes in the main Star Trek article. I did, however, make some subsequent comments in the talk pages for the same article. (...) I believe that the initial script is simply in error, and for the reasons I have written. That the veteran work of Art Director Walter M. Jeffries, and the high script quality, with perhaps a good aesthetic sense from Frieberger himself, kept season three at the same, or slightly higher quality (ironically), than the first two years. This ... idea that the Fred Frieberger season - season three - was a dip... is a common perception, but one that is simply mistaken. And you are talking to a ST fan for some 40 years. One might make a better argument that season 1 was the worst, because they had as yet to resolve some ideational and consistency issues regarding future technology and travel. But the truth is... that season three held its own, despite the cuts, and that all seasons are of roughly the same quality, though there are some conceptual and design differences. And no source is needed: it is patently obvious to the true Star Trek affectionado; you're mistaken. (John G. Lewis (talk) 22:10, 2 June 2014 (UTC))
Foss Leach articleThank you for this suggestion so add links. I have added as many links to other Wikipedia articles that I can find. I hope this is not satisfactory. If you are happy with these changes, may I please ask you to now remove the banner at the top of my article which makes this suggestion. with thanks Janet DavidsonNukuoro2 (talk) 20:41, 31 May 2014 (UTC) Thank you for removing that. I also see that this banner appears: "This article needs more links to other articles to help integrate it into the encyclopedia."

Can I ask you to remove this banner too please? regards Janet Davidson Nukuoro2 (talk) 22:35, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
When I wrote the article about Foss Leach, two banners appeared at the top which appear to be duplicates. They are: 1: This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014) and further down 2:This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014) When I wrote this article I took great care to document everything as closely as possible, with references to authoritative citations, avoiding any grey literature. There are 46 citations, each footnoted, and the references occur at the end of the article. I am left wondering what else I could cite, as I felt this was perfectly adequate. However, I assume you must have come across at least two items in the article which you felt required additional documentation. I would therefore be grateful if you could point to the particular items that you were concerned about, so I can attend to the matter. Sincerely Janet Davidson Nukuoro2 (talk) 03:10, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Question about Larry Linville reversionHi. What changes did I make that need citations?

Black Sabbath (album)You certainly do appear to be one of those bothersome editors who goes around reverting constructive edits haphazardly. The recommended manner of proceeding in instances such as this is to simply correct the fragment of the edit you disagree with, rather than initiating conflict by reverting the entire thing repeatedly and needlessly. Nobody likes to put in the effort to improve the project only to have an imprudent colleague repeatedly undo their work. Please explain yourself. Caper454 (talk) 23:46, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
