i am touching up plot points that are in error and/or out of sequence -- i DO know the article is long, but i have deleted about as much as i have added -- if you have not seen the film, please leave mine "as is" - i just watched it today. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.243.98.103 ( talk) 03:30, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
i had already reverted, so i will revert again -- looks like i added, net, about 1300 bytes, -- but it's either take out a LOT of what's wrong, or fix and touch up --
i know there are guidelines, but i know there are always exceptions -- i've seen articles that make a doctoral thesis look like a comic book, and other entries that leave almost all to the imagination, so why bother at all ?
i figure if someone is truthful, and invests the time, a few bytes more or less can't hurt, especially when clarifying/correcting the entry. This article did not even have the cat in the cast, for heavens sake -- a MAJOR role !
If you check through the list of admins, she was already desysopped for inactivity. If an admin has been inactive for one calendar year, you can guarantee they will be on the list, much less the six years she's been gone. :) Regards, — Moe Epsilon 07:00, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Crazynas, would it be possible to delete the tags on scientific method? I could, but do not want to act yet, as I believe there will be resolution, fairly soon, unlike some tags still on other pages since 2008. Arc de Ciel requested this already. I did not act until Battybot expanded the tag beyond Essay-like, which is acceptable for a single phrase. But for a single bot to expand the tag beyond existing bounds on the article is asking a lot. Thanks, I can watch your page. -- Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 22:49, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
If you are uncomfortable about responding, I will wait a little longer, and the remove the bot expansion. I will replace the article level tag with a request to tag disputed points inline. __ Ancheta Wis (talk | contribs) 06:03, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I declined the request for unprotection given the rocky history of the subject over the years, edit wars, banned users, topic bans, ArbCom cases, and so forth. That article is far from a low profile page. Please use more caution. Thanks Secret account 22:04, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
With the climate change article, the topic is under ArbCom sanctions. Look at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Climate change for more details, unprotection of that page would lead to more problems and drama. As for Cunningham, there has been serious BLP issues in the past and I'm a bit weary of PC here as the subject complained about the article before. I also declined Arroyo for rather obvious reasons.

Request reason:
This appears to be a hard (possibly range) block on my school IP I would like to request IP-blockexempt (if appropriate)
Accept reason:
See below. J.delanoy gabs adds 05:48, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.
Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.
Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Wikipedia via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator.
Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).
I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. J.delanoy gabs adds 05:48, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for bringing the concerns of the article to our attention. I just wanted to leave a note and offer a suggestion for you. In situations where there's a posting of non-public information (such as the one you mentioned), these edits should be suppressed by the oversight team. (Don't worry, I already sent an email to them and the edit has been taken care of.) In instances where there are edits that that may need to be rev-deleted, it may actually be better to contact an active admin privately via email or IRC (or send an email to the oversight team for suppression). This helps out because it ensures that we draw less attention to the edit. Again, thanks for your help lately and let me know if you have any questions! Mike V • Talk 09:43, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Just a friendly reminder that it is always better to inform users that you are hiding their posts. You recently did this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Odd_IP_edits and Wikipedia would run a whole lot smoother if you would just let people know you plan to violate their post (especially in a discussion that you had absolutely no part in previously). I will let you away with it this time and won't revert. Thanks LalaLAND ( talk) 13:32, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
This is turning into a giant clusterfudge. Ah well, NEnt opened an arbitration case, so it might get sorted out there. Otherwise I am going to open up discussion at the outing policy. This silliness has gone on too long. Only in death does duty end ( talk) 09:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
You're right that I probably shouldn't have reverted for a second time, but I disagree that saying the IP had "no right" (your phrasing, not mine) was uncivil - 99.99% of threads are the threads at the Admin noticeboards should be, and indeed are, closed by Admins. I would therefore argue that this falls as an inappropriate NAC by the IP. Giant Snowman 22:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gerald V. (Vic) Hurley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zamboanga ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
