Notice for HiltonWorldwide (now renamed)

You left a notice for User talk:HiltonWorldwide (who I recently renamed to a more appropriate username) warning them about their username. I find your message to not only be WP:BITEY and harsh, but it was also vague for the user, as they didn't seem to understand what part of the policy they violated. In the future, please use a nicer, less harsh tone with WP:AGF in mind, or if you cba to do so, you may use {{Uw-username}} (which Twinkle has in its library). --I am k6ka _{See what I have done} 17:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

• Bullshit. You seem to think that your obvious hat collecting and being a "global renamer" gives you some kind of status here, but it ain't so - at least not with me. Don't post here again. BMK (talk) 19:11, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Theophilus P. Chandler, Jr.

Hey, BMK. I can get rid of the interference with a { {clear} }. What I was trying to do was line up the images of churches, houses, and other buildings with their subheadings. I had lunch yesterday with the woman who curated the Chandler exhibit in Phila 5 years ago, which is why he was on my mind. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 20:04, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Hey. I'm afraid I'm not a big believer in aligning pictures with sections. If we can read books in which all the pictures are gathered together into one or two separate sections, and magazine articles in which images may appear before or after the connected paragraph, depending on the restrictions of layout, I don't see why it is imperative for us to have an image within a section if it's going to wreck havoc with the the article's overall look.That being said, why don't you try using the clear and we'll see what it looks like. Despite my reputation, I have no desire to be unreasonable, especially with reasonable editors such as yourself. Go for it! BMK (talk) 01:14, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I fiddled with it myself. Is the result OK with you? BMK (talk) 01:45, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

That's nice of you, I appreciate it. I should have checked the article myself and noticed the interference. BTW, I've been organizing a lot of Commons images, and noticed the ledes that you've added to a large number of the category pages (especially in architecture). Thank you, it greatly adds to their usefulness. == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 14:15, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Sigh

And people wonder why Misplaced Pages has a difficult time getting good editors to stick around. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 20:03, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Good editors provide sources for their claims when asked to, they don't instead attempt to remove a sourced claim in a fit of pique.Good luck in your future endeavors. BMK (talk) 20:32, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

And wise editors recognize when a source is not reliable enough, and a claim needs to be scaled back or qualified. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 21:10, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Wisdom is the lot of few people, the most the rest of us can hope for is to be smart and judicious. BMK (talk) 21:16, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

Puck Building

• "An historic" is grammatically incorrect. More information: http://grammarist.com/usage/an-historic/
• The verb 'sports' is not encyclopedic.
• The word both in "the building contains both office space as well as ballrooms" is extraneous.
• Typesetters is all one word.
• "Notable amongst the firms' salesmen" is too sibilant and flows better if you knock the 'st' off amongst.
• 'Assistant Secretary of State' is a proper noun and begins with a capital letter.
• BUT... I will concede that 'northwestern' may be acceptable.

Regards, a writer. Firebrace (talk) 04:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Article already says "a historic"; "sports" meh; changed the sentence with "both"; fixed "typsetters"; dropped the "st", not because of "sibilance", but because it's just a silly word, more used by the Brits, and this is an American article; capped the "A", "northwestern" is correct.

5 million!

We've reached five million!!                                                   The English Misplaced Pages now has over 5,000,000 articles! Woo-hoo! Feel free to pass this message on! You can never celebrate too much. Eman235/talk 17:50, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

My language

Wow, your language. Article link was created, and that ref link is no longer live. Thanks for advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andazuma (talk • contribs) 07:42, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

You mean "damn"? Please, be an adult. And while you're at it, instead of deleting my comments from your talk page, how about answering the questions I put to you: do you have a COi in relation to Rubin & Chapelle, or are you a paid editor for them? Ignoring the question will not make them go away. BMK (talk) 07:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Though familiar with them personally, the answer is no. And do you know anything about fashion or design techniques? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andazuma (talk • contribs) 00:34, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it happens I do know a little -- not much, and not in depth, but a little -- however that's irrelevant to editing Misplaced Pages, whereas a WP:COI is very relevant. BMK (talk) 03:38, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

You're My Only Hope

Hi BMK. If you have a moment to review a new proposed update to Benjamin Genocchio, I'd be grateful. Hope all is well. Penelope1114 (talk) 14:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

I will take a look, but probably not until tomorrow evening EST. BMK (talk) 06:56, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

I just took a quick look, but it's going to take longer than I thought, since, at first glance, it doesn't appear to me that some of the references provided support the claims being made -- which means I'm going to have to examine the refs pretty closely. Unfortunately I can't do that tonight for personal reasons, so I'm going to have to try to get to it tomorrow. BMK (talk) 01:46, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Completely understand. I look forward to hearing from you when you have time. Penelope1114 (talk) 03:03, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Reorg Rfc

Hi, I restored the previous format of the RfC because it was confusing to split them when they weren't from the start. It made conditional support cases fall under oppose, which is pretty odd. CFCF 💌 📧 06:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

OK, I just thought it was odd to have been set up that way, but I'm not particularly invested in my change. I assume you preserved my comments when you restored? BMK (talk) 06:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Speaking of language

You may wish to be aware of this. Montanabw 06:50, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I did see it. Of course, it's been obvious from the beginning that he wasn't a new editor. I just wish that CUs would investigate based on such blatamcy (if that's a word). The privacy issue is, in my view, completely overblown. BMK (talk) 06:56, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rubin & Chapelle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Elle (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.

Patrick Leigh Fermor

I see you have removed the photograph of his grave. I went to Dumbleton specifically to get imagery of his grave so I could contribute that to Misplaced Pages. Any suggestions where else a photo of his grave should be used if not in Patrick Leigh Fermor's biography? PicturePrince (talk) 23:16, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Actually, it was your movement of the other images into a gallery that I thought didn't work -- frankly, I didn't see the grave image. I've now restored it. BMK (talk) 23:28, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, much appreciated. PicturePrince (talk) 14:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Irvington, New York

Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Irvington, New York. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ɱ (talk • contribs) 03:03, 6 November 2015‎ (UTC)

<redacted bullshit>

BTW don't post on this page again. I don't accept comments from people who don't have the brains that god gave a gopher. BMK (talk) 08:14, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

<redacted bullshit>

In the words of the poet: fuck you and the horse you rode in on. You're an idiot with not the least bit of a conception whatsoever of what makes an article good. All you can do is follow rules, with no thoughts of your own, or independent judgement. Fuck off, don't post here again. I look forward to the day you find another interest -- bottle cap collecting, ant farms, snow globes of the world, upskirts photography, whatever -- which will take you away from Misplaced Pages, where your baleful influence is detrimental to the project.

My WP:Sockpuppet catching record

I'm stopping by to personally thank you for this comment. It's always nice see that an editor recognizes that I do not make sock accusations lightly. I would reply to this silliness, but you and various others (including Montanabw) know that it isn't true since I only directly accuse people of being socks when I know they are socks. I've also recently already went over this with a lying/bluffing sock. Cebr1979 commenting in that thread is simply sour grapes, as seen by all of the times he's posted on my talk page, and by this and this recent matter. I'm not going to take the WP:Bait. I'm also not going to participate in that thread since I get tired of dealing with the same types of disruptive editors time and time again, especially the ones who get blocked or banned only to return under a new account.

And I thank you too, Cullen328. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 08:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)
