Talk:Crissy

message: Fellow editors, in an attempt to cut down on external editors potentially abusing references and external links section for linkspam, (see edit version 14:30, 10 April 2006.) I am ushering in the following change that I hope you will all assist me in keeping accurate: I will be alphabetizing the references and links page by order of insert alpha criteria here, whether by author name, domain name or title of page.  I hope this will work to cut down on potential abuses, and your assistance in this matter is appreciated.  Thanks.Sgc0513 16:47, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Dear editors – Your contributions are much appreciated. Those editing under IP’s might
want to consider registering with Wikipedia for access to enhanced features such as using the
edit summary. 
Important: please understand that removal of an article’s text should be explained in an edit summary or on the article’s talk page. As the goal is to ADD TO and enrich the article, editors should take caution and be accountable.Sgc0513 20:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Welcome new editors 

message: Of particular interest is the non-word “pullstring”. Editors might agree that this best describes
a string you have to pull to make a doll talk, etc… So, for the purposes of this doll article the hyphenated
form “pull-string” is probably the most correct method to make the description. Also let’s strive for
consistency – if “black” is used to describe a dark-skinned doll, use that in all instances
and avoid any entry of other wordings. Sgc0513 20:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pullstring discussion 

message: Attachment or Device? Both are proper, but attachment gives a better visual picture
to the reader of the function and position.  Reverted, as changing to “device” did not seem to enhance or add to the article. 
Actuate vs. Activated –  Editors, the dictionary is your friend, and there are online resources you can use to check definitions. The word “actuate” means: 1 : to put into mechanical action or motion
2 : to move to action – while “activated” is commonly used in the chemical sense - to make (as molecules) reactive or more reactive.  The goal is not to simply change things but produce the most accurate and informative article possible for readers. Please do the research before editing.  Reverted to: actuate. 
Removal of “non-mechanical” – as no Crissy dolls were produced of a mechanical nature BEFORE the Movin
Groovin model the implications of the doll’s feature is clear to the reader. Hint: A picture could help to illustrate the feature.
Misc. – if Baby Crissy is the size of a nine month old then she could not wear baby clothes from 0-9 months the former text was more and accurate and this was reverted. Sgc0513 20:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Rita, 
Thanks for your questions. All Wikipedia articles belong to the whole community, however there are certain guidelines to observe. Suggesting you both read What Wikipedia is not and also The Five Pillars. The more you read the better you will understand the purpose of the Wikipedia, and thus all will benefit from your contributions. 
 
Be cautious that any editing you do will not be be in violation of WP Spam. Past revisions of this doll article pointed only to one website and one Crissy publication, when there were a host of other information sources online and in print. Some of us Wikipedians took thought about this and by our actions the article now is improved and better meets guidelines and the Manual of Style. Generally, external links should be placed in the under the External links heading and creating a heading just to place a link in it is a form of "linkspam". This community generally agrees that Wikipedia is not a "soapbox", nor a place in cyberspace to attempt to commercially advertise. All the best. Sgc0513 22:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Changed verbage in the interest of removing any POV from the article. Since everyone
does not agree totally on the subject this action improves the article. If any editors
have further suggestions please note them here in the disscussion page. Sgc0513 19:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Tara, Tressy & Cricket - Crissy "family" dolls T or F?

message: Flagged the article for clean-up, however no other editor(s) took notice. None of the external links met the Wiki guildlines as they either pointed to webpages/sites offering merchandise for sell, or pages that do not meet the test of providing additional detailed information (not covered by the article) or the pages could primarily exist for profit (Ad banners present). Editors please learn & observe the rules, thanks! Sgc0513 (talk) 01:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
