I partially reverted your edit on the climate data because the values should be from daily/monthly normals from the NWS source, not the ones from monthly avgs. The reason is that this is more accurate (states that it excludes stations where temperatures have not been routinely recorded). On the other hand, the monthly avgs might include stations where temperatures have not been routinely recorded and calculates it (not as accurate). Ssbbplayer ( talk) 13:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi, the section "Faculty and staff" is entirely sourced to http://lcm.touro.edu/faculty/ linked in footnote [7]. Per WP:SELFPUB, self-published sources are accepted under five conditions, which this case meets. I have not seen a guideline that forbids such listings, but please let me know if one exists.
I agree with you that much of the article, including this section, uses promotional, Peacocky language, which you are more than welcome to fix. Thanks, Ypnypn ( talk) 02:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
This article already cites both Newsweek and the University of California at Berkeley as sources. What more is expected? User:GRUBBXDN
It's too big a job for me. We almost need to delete the whole thing and start over. Kendall-K1 ( talk) 01:12, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
I was in the middle of adding links and sources for info on that page. Why did you just delete what I was doing? I was also putting info in chronological order. This is a major composer, why did you just reduce his article to totally unsourced stuff? Who the heck are you to delete somebody's hours of work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iful ( talk • contribs) 01:24, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
You deleted almost the entire page. If you had an issue with a specific part of it you should have edited that. The article said at the top that it needed citations, I was adding those. I didn't add copyrighted material, I added links to quotes from the New York Times, the New Yorker, etc, the quotes were already there, I expanded a couple of them so that they were more clear, but the quotes were already there I just posted links. I was putting the page in chronological order and was in the middle of working on it when you deleted almost the whole thing so now there's almost no source for anything there. Who would look up 2 year old Wikipedia issues in order to edit an article? This is a major composer and there's almost nothing written about him here now. I spent hours on this. Why should I add anything to Wikipedia in the future? If you had an issue with the info in this article before I started trying to add links well maybe you should have fixed it before and not just deleted someone's work. I have nothing to do with this composer and have nothing to do with advertising or promotion and I have nothing to do with what was previously posted in this article before today, so I don't know what you're talking about. Why should anyone post on Wikipedia? This is ridiculous. Iful ( talk) 02:10, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
I tried to post on the article talk page before but it didn't work and you probably wouldn't have seen it. I'm offended that you posted on my talk page that I posted copyrighted material and I would like you to delete that. If the page already contained copyrighted material how would I know that? I didn't post it. The page asked and still asked for sources which I was providing. It would be one thing if it said it was scheduled for deletion, but it didn't say that. Please delete that statement from my talk page along with the threat to block me. Thank you. And if anybody thinks that quotes from good music reviewers don't belong in a review of an opera composer, that's unrealistic. Classical reviewers like Alex Ross of the New Yorker are tough, if you get a good review from them that's like an Oscar. There are no Oscars or Tonys for opera composers, the only way you know somebody is good is if they get good reviews from tough reviewers. Iful ( talk) 03:56, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
I tried to answer his questions over at the article talk page. I can understand his frustration and hope we can get him engaged in the right way. As for DJ JT, what a mess! Where do you find these things? Kendall-K1 ( talk) 15:44, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I was a bit snippy with you on my talk page. For some bizarre reason, I attributed your post to Fact Reporter1. -- NeilN talk to me 20:25, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
I have removed the refimprove template you added to Slow Club. I believe that you'll agree that the page is now sufficiently referenced. (I think it's over-referenced, but that's for someone else to decide and select references.) Ross-c ( talk) 09:05, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
