thread_title:  This article confuses two different people 

message: It sure would have been nice for the above contributor to have fixed what he saw was incorrect, but I suppose that beggars can't be choosers.
Anyways, I gone over the article and brought it, at least what was already there, up to what I feel is an encyclopedic standard. Many song and album titles were misspelled or formatted incorrectly, and many were not linked to their respective Wikipedia articles, but I have fixed those issues. I have added inline citations and inline links to other relevant articles, and I have also removed the credits that were incorrectly attributed to Breeden.
I left the "sources/verification" heading, as I was unable to find reliable sources to some of the article's contents. I also corrected the reference to Billboard naming Mr. Breeden's label a "Top Rap Label"...previously it said Top 10, when in reality, it was named #13 - I have cited a source for this as well.

thread_title: September 11, what year?

message: "Dr. Martin claimed that the birth of Jesus happened on the evening of September 11, 3 BCE on the Gregorian calendar, or the first of Tishri on the Jewish calendar which marks Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.[3]" The current version of the article wrongly cites Martin as calculating the birth of Christ on Sep 11 of 3 BC on the Gregorian Calendar.  The source cited makes no reference to the Gregorian calendar, and all astronomy software uses Julian days.  Historians and chronologers use the Julian Calendar for events around the first century, and use the Julian Day to calculate days prior to the Roman Era.  Therefore, I am changing the text of the article to say the Julian Calendar. Cadwallader (talk) 18:07, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Porthcawl

message: If there's a consensus among reputable editors that a place's location relative to Cardiff is relevant and important, then fine. However, I've got two issues:
a. creating a precedent for treating every village and town in Wales the same way - I don't believe there's going to be a consensus for that;
b. adding Cardiff randomly to other articles is simply advertising. If people love their hometown, that's great, but it shouldn't bias Wikipedia. The IP who made the initial edit adding mention of Cardiff wasn't improving this article, he/she was simply promoting (as they said) "the major city Cardiff". Pondle (talk) 17:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not in any way relevant . This look likes classical POV pushing. Resist strongly Velela (talk) 19:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I certainly agree that what had been written here was a major case of POV and PEACOCK (and there's a hell of a lot of that, especially promoting Cariff - this is an encyclopaedia guys, not a tourist board!), but mentioning the town's position relative to other more well-known towns and cities could be helpful to any layman reading this who isn't so familiar with this or any other smaller town. As a random example, the article for Andover, Hampshire mentions the town's location relative to Basingstoke, Winchester and Southampton in order to give it some context. In this case, Porthcawl's location relative to Cardiff AND Swansea might be helpful, as long as no additional descriptions (especially  peacock terms) of the towns are used. Bettia (talk) 09:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location relative to Cardiff 

message: In the discussion above we reached a consensus that Porthcawl's location relative to both Cardiff and Swansea is relevant (and Swansea is actually nearer). In fact, the Penguin Dictionary of Places says: Town in Bridgend on the Bristol Channel, 23km SE of Swansea - Cardiff isn't mentioned, presumably because it's further away. The Encyclopedia of Wales and Brittanica  don't refer to Porthcawl's location relative to any other settlements. Pondle (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Sensation (event)

message: Removed the term "Riot" and replaced it by "Incident". A Riot would indicate that most of the crowd attacked the stage. It was NOT the case (I was there).

I think all the attendees felt pretty safe during the incident (except the performer) : There was no panic at all and the festival went smoothly rightafter.

message: This article has some serious problems, specifically regarding Wikipedia's policies on external links (WP:EL). Wikipedia is not a repository of links. It is not feasible to list every single Jewish community on one page, and listing every single Jewish community website is also outside the scope of the project. This article is also very inconsistent in what it includes. Listing the Israeli embassies for each country is problematic for several reason (not all Israelis are Jewish, for one thing). This is an impressively large collection, but hard work is not enough reason to keep something. It should also be noted that the vast majority of links that have been added to this site have been added by  who has been blocked for sock puppetry and vandalism (sock investigation).

Wikipedia talk:Advice for new administrators

message: In general, I like this a lot. I would make one change, that many people will disagree with me on. 
:"It is true that among these are powers to block users or protect pages, but we should strive never to use these powers based on our own judgment. Instead, as a general rule, administrators should use their powers only when Wikipedia policy makes it an unquestionable and thus practically automatic act, or when there is such a strong consensus that an admin's act is simply executing what is clearly the will of the community (if you ever have doubts, report the matter at the administrator's noticeboard — don't hesitate to draw on the advice or help of more experienced admins.)"
I would say instead that "we should strive never to use these powers based on our own desires rather than what is most in line with Wikipedia's policies and ideals." The rest of the paragraph is difficult also... "the will of the community". "Who is the community?" is actually a really hard question to answer.
