Hey. Welcome to my talk page. It's a place where you can leave me messages. Please do not leave templates unless it is absolutely necessary. See also the essay WP:TEMPLAR. I am a lady, so please do use female pronouns, but I won't fault you for not doing so accidentally. (I can be a bit masculine sometimes!) But anywho, don't hesitate to give me some critiques, invoke some discussion, or anything like it! Thanks.

Funding Abortion in China

Hi, Tutelary, I disagree with your assessment of the Coat Rack status you used to justify removing my post to the Hobby Lobby page. I would totally agree if they had not made abortion a key issue to their business operations- I think it is hard to disagree that a topic that you take to the Supreme Court is key it a key issue. With it being such a key issue than all the facts should be on the table. And they should support that if, as they told the Supreme Court, abortion is the real issue. If the real issue is politics and abortion is just a way to get at their political ends than it is especially important to have this fact well known.

If you have concern with the wording I am fine with it being improved. If you are just acting politically because you think it is an uncomplimentary fact than I think you should put the paragraph back.OneHandClap (talk)

It's taking sources which are only tangentially related to the company and trying to make a paragraph about them. For example, Google no longer has their search engine in China due to censorship concerns. Now, could we make the connection (let's say some Huffington Post blog) said that Google supports Chinese censorship due to them retracting out of China? We can't make that connection because it's simply a coatrack. At least three other editors (including myself) have a problem with the material you continue adding, maybe it's time to listen to their concerns. Tutelary (talk) 15:40, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Pan

Pan was obviously having sex with a goat in the caption I edited. Why did you delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.110.0.95 (talk) 23:49, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

I have reverted, as it appears you are right. It appeared to me (while patrolling) that it was vandalism, as sexual edits are often used by bored people looking to vandalize. In this context, it was appropriate. Apologies. Tutelary (talk) 23:58, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Edit

I do apologize for being new to editing on Misplaced Pages but all the information I entered was accurate simply by actually listening to the cd. For that I am not sorry for being a fan and correctly entering the production credits. Thanks though. I will not waste my time trying to help fellow fans get accurate information — Preceding unsigned comment added by 913Zill (talk • contribs)

I'll apologize but when I reverted via Huggle, with names like 'Drumma Boy' and '808 Mafia' it seemed like it was vandalism. I have reverted and removed the warning, though you should really add sources to verify that these are indeed the artists. Tutelary (talk) 00:07, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Second Life

I have tried to start a conversation on the talk page regards my edit of users copyrights on second life, sorry its a bit basic cut and paste due to a little headache I have. I think Linden Lab has replied to concerns and declared they are not taking away creators copyright.Tallsally (talk) 21:21, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

United States, Canada & Mexico History

I have reviewed several sections of Counties in California which have no reference to the Native people who "own" the land. Or, owned the land. I have been warned thai I must cite references and do wish to "adhere" to a cohesive organized method of referencing citations. I do apologize for the two post where I do not do so. Kind Regards,

So then you can't add it again if you don't have a reference. Additionally, 'We should give it back' is a violation of WP:NPOV as it's attributing it in Misplaced Pages's voice. However, if you have a ref that says it, we could do, "Media Source says 'We should give the land back'" would be OK. Tutelary (talk) 23:46, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Revert

Please be careful: I realize that this reversion was probably a mistake, but it put back some flagrant BLP violation that has had to be revision deleted, and the original creator, an IP and a sockpuppet were blocked for edit-warring and inserting defamatory essays.

Apologies, I didn't really look at the context and I should've, was just patrolling with Huggle--but that's no excuse. I'll be more careful next time. Tutelary (talk) 02:12, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

No problem, happy editing! Acroterion (talk) 02:27, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Lejeune

The discovery of Trisomy 21 is the principle discovery on which he built his career and his principle claim to fame. The fact that his version has now be credibly challenged and that there is a decent claim that he flat out lied and claimed credit for a discovery that was not his is far too important not to feature in the lead.

I have, once again, restored this important fact to the lead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JackAidley (talk • contribs) 20:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

CodeCore Developer Bootcamp

I'm accustomed to making minor edits and authoring new sections, but new to improving the quality of Misplaced Pages. Just wanted to say thanks for editing my AfD and demonstrating how to appropriately flag a page for deletion. -Orun Bhuiyan (talk) 04:00, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Re: this, she is creating emphasis with a point-y edit summary. This is what she does and she does it frequently. She is an absolute pest with no sense of etiquette and little sense of doing the right thing. - Sitush (talk) 17:17, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
