Hi, can try to explain something? I am very disappointed… I thought that Wikipedia respects the rights of the people - for example the right to privacy. Quoting newspaper articles – unauthorized… It is not fair. Well, in my opinion Craig Parker is gay . But but he never speaks publicly about his private life. We should respekt this. This applies not only to Craig Parker of course!!! Reliable information – yes! But Wikipedia should learn the culture and respect. This is not only my opinion - many people feel the same way. Think about it… I hope that explained everything… Regards :)

Well, Wikipedia believes that everyone is entitled to an opinion, but Wikipedia also believes that every fact added to an article needs to be verifiable. Using the argument "in my opinion..." just says that you're just adding your own stuff and it cannot be verified, thus it was reverted. Your opinion isn't reliable information. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 03:00, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

You wrote: Hello, I'm AbigailAbernathy. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Craig Parker with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, A Wild Abigail Appears! Capture me. Moves. 21:16, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

The quoted article was not authorized by Craig Parker. This man never speaks publicly about his private (sexual) life. We should respect this. It doesn't matter - he is gay or not. Wikipedia should respect the rights of the people - the right to privacy for example . This is not only my opinion - many people feel the same way. Think about it… Wikipedia should not be like another color magazine!

It is unprofessional and… simply rude. I hope everything will be clear now. Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.4.186.52 (talk) 07:14, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I see you fail to understand that Wikipedia is not censored. We do not rely on the majoriy of people's opinions for content. Like I said, stuff must be verifiable, not opinionated. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 19:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Abigail. Finally, I understood! Wikipedia is no longer a professional encyclopedia - it has become another version of the magazines. I wish you many new 'sensational' information from the press – Wikipedia will be more hot ;))) Good luck ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.191.81.135 (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

False, Wikipedia is not a magazine. Magazines have authors who do not reveal their sources, we don't. We're not censored, biased, or just here for the money/popularity/fame. We have strict guidelines about verifiable information, keeping articles with a Neutral POV (point of view), and keeping up on proven facts. Magazines do none of these and just write articles to meet deadlines. I see you fail to understand what I'm trying to write so I'm going to discontinue this debate. Good day. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 18:48, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Colorado Northwestern Community College

Abigail, I included a citation in my revision of this college page. It is the Rio Blanco Herald Times, Thursday, October 11, 2012. This is a small newspaper without an online presence, so I couldn't link to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.47.55.98 (talk) 22:51, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello! First, thanks for leaving me a message. Second, I googled "Rio Blanco Herald Times" and this came up. I only Googled it to make sure there is no online presence, is that the correct website? --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 22:55, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Nice find! Here is the link to the article http://www.theheraldtimes.com/?s=CNCC+takes+root Unfortunatley, you need a subscription. Will that work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.47.55.98 (talk) 23:08, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Bugger, I don't think it'll work because we can't see it :\. Uhmm....well, I say it doesn't because the whole public can't see it, but you should probably ask an administrator about it to get a clear explanation. Feel free to link them to this conversation.

My edit on How I Met Your Mother (Season 8)

Hey AbigailAbernathy,

I added some information which you seem to have taken out. I still believe that the information I contributed belongs there. The waitress calls Krirsten by the wrong name two times, starting off with Cristin, which I highly doubt is a coincidence and is similar to the first name of the actress playing the future wife of Ted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.212.246.90 (talk) 17:20, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

As I recall, you attempted to use YouTube as a source. Wikipedia does not recognize YouTube videos as verifiable sources. Please use something else as a source and re-add your submission, use the format please. Good day.--A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 17:22, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually I didn't use any source at all. I'm not an active editor on Wikipedia and just noticed this in the episode myself. How am I supposed to proof that the waitress says "Cristin" and why? It's only a small detail that most people might not notice the first time they're watching the episode, which I tried to point out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.212.246.90 (talk) 17:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

No source? Then don't add it. We require everyone to use a source when adding specific details, even inactive and non-registered users. Sorry, if you can't prove it then don't add it.--A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 17:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

So actually I have to wait for some person to notice it, put it on a website and use that as a source while any person with working ears can hear it right now by watching the episode? If so... Sorry for wasting your time. But I'm more sorry for wasting my own. I just tried to help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.212.246.90 (talk) 17:40, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

If the fact is on the How I Met Your Mother wikia or IMDB, feel free to retrieve the page, put it in as a source, and re-add your addition. I didn't mean to upset you, but I wanted to make you aware of our Verifiable Content policy. Everyone who decides to edit Wikipedia must follow our guidelines. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 17:43, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Actually, you are both wrong :-) The problem here is not the lack of a source. Like the entire plot summary, the fact that the hostess in the restaurant says the name "Kristin" is sourced by the primary source - the episode itself. The real problem with including this tidbit in the article is that it is trivia. It would not be trivia if there were a source confirming that the name of the character and the joke about getting it wrong were connected to the actual name of the actress playing the mother, but without that sort of relevance the name similarity is of no significance and should be left out. 99.192.53.72 (talk) 22:09, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

To be honest, I think the name misspelling would be suited for the Trivia section on the How I Met Your Mother Wikia instead of Wikipedia, since Wikia's are designed for one specific thing in pop culture, and other topics. I think 94.212.246.90 should go to the Wikia and add it there. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 04:09, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Judith Chalmers

You sent me a message that I had made an unconstructive edit on Judith Chalmers wiki page, but I didn't. I think some of you wiki edit freaks need to realise that with dynamic IP addresses, a person can make an edit, log off the net, and that same IP address be assigned to a new user moments later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.140.14 (talk) 16:44, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

I just checked your talk page, I made the edit 2 years ago and you're bringing it up now by calling me a freak? Nice approach. --A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 16:55, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Removal

Would you kindly explain this removal? Thanks in advance. Fideliosr (talk) 20:17, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Well seeing as the words "you" and "kill yourself" were in the same sentence classifies under personal attacks....--A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me. Moves.} 20:19, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Actually statements like "I might kill myself" and "Shoot Me Now" had been made by this editor. Secondly I believe what I wrote is taken out of context. I only asked him about the validity of his rather strange assertion of self-immolation. Cheers. Fideliosr (talk) 20:25, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool update

Hey AbigailAbernathy. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles.

We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article.

Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) 22:03, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

NFL Draft Edit

The edit I made was to remove "Evan "Evangelos" Gentis was selected in the 3rd round by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Evan, a diehard steelers junkie, was selected as the team looks to rebuild the games "steel curtain". Evan is a physical specimen and will teach Troy Polamalu a thing or two about broing out." from the top of the page; there is no such player by this name and the Steelers did not select him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.241.185.180 (talk) 20:30, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Madison Rising "About" edit

Why did you remove this? I added a POSITIVE entry to their page. I'm a fan of the band and have every right to post and make their page better. Thoughts?TheGr8Gonzo (talk) 20:07, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Well that may be true, but what you posted was extremely biased. You need to maintain a Neutral Point of View when it comes to articles. Yes, you like them, but there are people out there who do not share your opinions. Also I saw in that entire entry you put one reference at the very bottom. Here at Wikipedia, it is not the "add one thing and it stays forever regardless of it is" people think it is. We rely on verifiable sources to make sure articles are as accurate as possible with minimal bias. You do have the right to post, but you also have to know our guidelines. You can write all the positivity all you want, if it's all from your head and you can't prove any of it besides saying "I like the band and they deserve some positive notes on their page," then it's not going to stay.--A Wild Abigail Appears! _{Capture me.

Edits for 'Hsinchu County'

Hi! Thanks for messaging me about your changes. I've undone your changes because there is nothing inappropriate about my changes: the Wade-Giles system always include a tone number at the end of each 'word' to indicate its pronunciation but such tone numbers were missing in the article; also, it is common for Wikipedia to include more than one romanisation for Chinese phrases/words. Douglas the Comeback Kid (talk) 20:16, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Texas 4000 Article

Hi there,

I am genuinely trying to update the Texas 4000 for Cancer Wikipedia article to reflect an accurate portrayal of the organization. The current page is woefully inaccurate. You said I needed sources, which I totally understand, but I work for Texas 4000 and we are in the midst of revamping our website. I am trying to link where I can, but most of this is hard copy in our info packets, etc.

I understand you don't want advertising (I tried to remove that tone where I could), but I'm finding it really hard to comply with the guidelines. I just don't want inaccurate info on the page. If we aren't allowed to update it, can it please be deleted as it is inaccurate? I just don't want this information to incorrectly inform people about our organization.

I'm happy to fix it, too, just finding it difficult to do so under Wikipedia guidelines (this is my first time editing an article).

Thanks,

Kathryn

Kathryn,

I'm sorry but unless anything you put is verifiable by published sources that can be found and linked to on the internet, your entry cannot be allowed. I saw you used one source, you can add that addition. The other bits you cannot. If it were up to me, you'd be able to save it all there and be done with it, but it is against the rules and I can't allow that.

I could propose the article be set for speedy deletion based on the lack of sources I think. I'll look into that. In the meantime, I suggest you create an account and remake the article in your sandbox that you can save later and revise as many times as you like. Let me know and I can give you all the links you need in order to do so.
