Everyday (Buddy Holly song)

Edits were infrequent before semi-protection, and they are still after that. Lower to "pending changes"? --George Ho (talk) 19:01, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

I would assume/hope that I made it "indefinite" as a mistake. Thanks for catching that. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:53, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Why?

Just wondering why you are going around changing all my edits. just wondering who made you in charge of deciding what was relevant. May I suggest you allow me to get on with what I'm doing and stop nit picking. How would you like it if I said all of your edits were not relevant? Surely you have something better to be doing than going through all my edits.The Cheeky Little Blighter (talk) 19:31, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

If you read the message I left on your talk page, you'll see "why". Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:31, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Not that it's any of your business but I'm trying to find out if anyone has any sources to improve the article.The Cheeky Little Blighter (talk) 19:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Fan mail won't be considered a source, so sorry, that won't work. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 19:34, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

shonda rhimes

The post you are making for the name Shonda Rhimes are correct,but she is not Shonda Rhimes although you have been lead to believe that. I don't know her or her real name,nor her bio. She has committed fraud in the worst way. My name is LaShanda Michele Farmer and I am the creator of Shonda Rhimes. I executive produce and write under the name Shonda Rhimes. Currently I am in continues contact with the F.B.I in Springfield,I'll to straighten out my affairs because of bad advice.That picture of the woman that's calling herself Shonda Rhimes must come down.

Crossfit

I deleted mentions of CrossFit from several bio pages before noticing that they were all added by you. By looking at your contributions I can see that you are a genuine WP contributor and not a CF spammer so I want to take the extra step of pointing out my reasoning.

I have added a section to the CF page about this here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Talk:CrossFit#Mentions_of_.22CrossFit.22_as_random_trivia_in_Bios_of_Living_Persons.

The concern is that for the persons where their only involvement with CF is that they do it for exercise (i.e., not a gym owner, trainer, competitor) the mention isn't more significant than as just their preferred brand name (of exercise, in this case). I am concerned that this would become justification for additions such as "so and so wears Adidas". Arbalest Mike (talk) 14:23, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Fair enough. I don't object. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 16:39, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. The above and your reply leads directly to the following section.

How to be a better WP Contributor

I make edits only when encountering something during normal usage/reading (about 125 so far). Then I come across users like you with thousands of edits and wonder 1) how is it possible 2) where is all of the super-user information - especially the top level that ties it all together 3) what are all of these icons on the top of this talk page 4) What is the significance of those pages I get to when I click those icons (especially the stuff on the admin desktop page) 5) is the dude/dude tag your own 6) where are the various lists or tools that inform you of problems directly, rather than stumbling upon them. 7) and so on.

How do you do it? I learn about a new tool or trick here and there but chasing down explanations in the WP itself always results in me having 10+ tabs open and me scratching my head about how it all goes together, which of similar choices to use, which to work with first (then next). Assuming that everything is here, somewhere, where do you start? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arbalest Mike (talk • contribs) 15:37, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I've done some homework and found a lot that answers (2) above. That might go a long way toward answering (1). I found some lists that answer (6) but not haven't yet looked for tools that might proactively point out problems to me. Arbalest Mike (talk) 18:23, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Percy Harvin, etc.

Jauerback, if you are going to lock the Percy Harvin article with full page protection until there is an "official" announcement, then you need to do the same for David Nelson (American football), which is impacted by the same pending transaction. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 15:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

It's been announced on the Jets website (Seahawks too), so there's your official announcement Jauerback. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 16:47, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
