Hi there! With this, I'm not quite sure what is wrong with using, say, "plants-related"? Looks perfectly OK to me. Could you, please, clarify? Thanks.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 19:07, May 5, 2009 (UTC)

It's a little odd-sounding. "Plant-related" would be correct. Government and scientific usage are not always the best exemplars for what is stylistically customary. But if you want to run this by the mavens at WT:MOS to see what more stylistically attuned editors think, that'd be fine with me. older ≠ wiser 21:32, 5 May 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-05-05T21:32:00.000Z","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bkonrad-2009-05-05T21:32:00.000Z-SIA","replies":[],"displayName":"older"}}-->

The mavens at WT:MOS? I'd rather jump into a stream of flowing lava, thank you :) Anyway, I don't care all that much if the template simply says "related items"; it's just that I believe that a somewhat odd sounding structure (and I don't find it odd, by the way, but then I am not a native speaker, so I'll trust your judgement on that) is still more useable than a completely generic notice. I'm going to leave the template alone for the time being. If another great idea visits me, I'll try it out, but until then you folks have fun of your own :) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 01:32, May 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hello, my friend. In The Burger King, the words the King are used just as a shorthand way of referring to the character after his full name has been mentioned once, like saying the President for President Obama in second and subsequent references, or the editor for you or me, once we have been properly introduced by our screen names to our vast audience of readers.

Well, yes, sort of. Except that "the king" is a fairly well-known moniker for the mascot. If it were not for the ungrammaticality of referring to the mascot as simply "king", it might merit mentioning on King (disambiguation). But since the form is nearly always as "the king" rather than simply "king", I think it fits better on The King (disambiguation). older ≠ wiser 17:34, 14 May 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-05-14T17:34:00.000Z","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bkonrad-2009-05-14T17:34:00.000Z-GeorgeLouis-2009-05-14T17:17:00.000Z","replies":[],"displayName":"older"}}-->

I think our Edgewater Hotel spammer (see MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist/archives/June 2009#Putinbayonline.com spam) is trying to bait us into blacklisting put-in-bay.com -- that's a Chamber of Commerce domain, not one of his. Certainly his edit summaries seem calculated to goad us into this; see Special:Contributions/65.43.193.9. This behaviour even has a name; it's known as a "Joe job".

I suggest that when he turns back up again with a new IP to spam a Chamber of Commerce link you just let the link stand and ignore him.

I blacklisted every Edgewater-related domain that I could find but I suspect our spammer owns more; I'll be happy to blacklist new ones as they reappear. Just list them at MediaWiki talk:Spam-blacklist with a link to the June archive section above. If you're unsure as to the domain's ownership, let me know and I'll check them.

Why revert NME (disambiguation) to a version that is poorly written, poorly organized, unalphabetized, and doesn't fit with WP:MOSDAB? 12:21, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

How does it not fit with WP:MOSDAB? the current version seems more in line with MOSDAB than the previous version in that 1) leaves only one blue link per entry; 2) removes an entry where the use is unsupported by the linked articles; 3) uses legitimate redirects for the target use. older ≠ wiser 12:27, 9 June 2009 (UTC) Although, I do see where I left a duplicate entry in -- fixed that. older ≠ wiser 12:28, 9 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-09T12:27:00.000Z","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bkonrad-2009-06-09T12:27:00.000Z-NME_(disambiguation)","replies":["c-Edgar181-2009-06-09T12:52:00.000Z-Bkonrad-2009-06-09T12:27:00.000Z"],"displayName":"older"}}-->

I fail to understand why it is that you remove data based on the idea that it is "trivia." If anything outside of demographics and geographical location is considered trivia, then why not strip every other page on Wikipedia that contains anything you deem as "worthless facts." I could visit every page on Wikipedia and cite example after example of data I feel is trivia on 99/100 of those pages. Nick David being a local legend in Vassar is as equally important as the Jersey Devil being a legend in the Pine Barrens or Kimbo Slice being a fight legend in Miami. Do I need to add a section called "local legends" or something to that effect to have this fact stick? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.13.13.91 (talk) 10:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-15T10:49:00.000Z","author":"214.13.13.91","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-214.13.13.91-2009-06-15T10:49:00.000Z-Vassar,_MI","replies":["c-Bkonrad-2009-06-15T10:52:00.000Z-214.13.13.91-2009-06-15T10:49:00.000Z"]}}-->

So far as I can tell, the only change made to the Thumb article was to add Deford to the list of largest cities. [1] It's a little odd, as Deford isn't a city, but then again, Caro is technically a village rather than a city. I'm not that familiar with the Thumb area, so Deford might well be large enough to merit mention.

Deford is considered a large area of population for the Thumb region but right now, Deford, Michigan is looking at for vandalism by Michael herc. The Information provided by Avery_player2011 for the thumb and Deford are mostly true except some of the comments made on the Deford page (Notable Landmarks etc.) Believe me, i live in the area.

The change to the Thumb of Michigan about Deford being one of the largest towns is completely false. It is neither a city nor a village. It is an unincorporated community (in Michigan, called a hamlet). It is only home to 1,611 residents for the entire ZIP code [2]. This does not warrant a large city if you ask me. I would advise that whoever is doing this to the page be looked at for vandalism.

Hello, I am a current Political Science student at WCCCD in Michigan. I am working on an assignment for my Political Science class. For the class assignment I edited the three pages that you changed back on purpose to see how long it takes to get incorrect information deleted or corrected. I do not plan on editing articles just for the fun of it. This was only for my class assignment. I hope this hasn't caused you any trouble, the intent was to see how long misinformation stays on the Wikipedia site. Thank you for your understanding and if I can be of any help, please contact me at [email protected]. By the way, I live in Brownstown Michigan and I have a Black Walnut tree in my next door neighbors' yard.

Are you suggesting that these three CDPs should be listed as CDPs on the county template? Nationwide, all CDPs are linked from county templates, whether they're listed as CDPs or not — there's no good reason to state that a "settled concentration of population that is identifiable by name but is not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which it is located" is not a community.

Personally, I would prefer that there not be a separate category for CDPs. In most cases, CDPs do correspond to some degree to recognizable communities. However, there are some CDPs where the CDP is purely and solely a statistical abstraction and there is no community corresponding to the name of the CDP. In such cases, if you are going to insist on including every CDP on the county templates, then they should go in a distinct category -- these should not be identified as communities. older ≠ wiser 12:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)__DTREPLYBUTTONSCONTENT__-->__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-06-27T12:38:00.000Z","author":"Bkonrad","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Bkonrad-2009-06-27T12:38:00.000Z-Nyttend-2009-06-27T12:33:00.000Z","replies":["c-Nyttend-2009-06-28T01:14:00.000Z-Bkonrad-2009-06-27T12:38:00.000Z"],"displayName":"older"}}-->
