Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Doss, Texas: you may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. —DoRD (talk) 16:48, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Rollback
I've granted you rollback rights. This lets you undo multiple edits by the same editor in one step. It will revert the most recent edits by the last editor. For example, if user A makes an edit that is vandalism, then user B makes a good edit, and user A makes 2 more vandalism edits, rollback would remove the two most recent edits of A, but not A's first edit. Please be careful to just use rollback for vandalism purposes. The link is pretty easy to click by mistake! Let me know if you have any questions. Karanacs (talk) 16:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Poncie Ponce
Aloha. Thanks for your good work on Poncie Ponce. Unfortunately, we have a problem with the sources per WP:RS. I would like to discuss this with you before I bring this to the attention of the reliable source noticeboard. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 03:04, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- I think you're reading too much into the above, and since this is text not speech, it's best to take things at face value, so no need for any "excuse me". I want to discuss the use of reliable sources with you, and how we can improve the sourcing in the articles you created. Since we are now discussing this on two different pages, I'm going to use the article talk pages and contact you at that time. Viriditas (talk) 19:08, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Article assessment
I've assessed many of your articles as "Start" class, however, I would like to go over each one with you so we can get them to at least C and B class. Let me know if you have the time. Viriditas (talk) 03:50, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Your interest?
Is your interest regarding Hawaii mostly concerned with music? Can you talk a bit about it? Viriditas (talk) 04:01, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Living people and tags
I copied the bio tag over from another article you wrote, which must have had the living person flagged, so sorry about that. I'm not aware of adding any maintenance tags, so I'm not clear what your message was referring to on my talk page. Could you explain? Viriditas (talk) 19:13, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- I was not referring to your tags, if you have any out there. I was just venting about tags in general. In the long run, they don't serve much purpose. Maile66 (talk)
- No worries, but you had me confused. My questions for you boil down to two things: 1) improvng the assesment rating of your articles by improving the sources, and 2) understanding what your interest in Hawaii is here. If it's Hawaiian music and musicians, I would like to know if you could help me organize and maintain that side of the project, as I have some ideas for improving it and handing it off to someone who feels they are an expert in that area. Viriditas (talk) 19:26, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
- Got it.
- 1) I am no expert on Hawaiian music, so I wouldn't be the kind of help you need.
- 2) I welcome whatever suggestions you can offer for improving the assessment rating of articles. However, I was being candid in that I have exhausted every avenue available to me for sources. Finding information on the subjects I picked has been difficult.

- Ok, I just left you the first message on Talk:Poncie Ponce. I can help you fix these articles and improve their ratings. Viriditas (talk) 19:47, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

How funny. I know exactly of whom you speak - User:Jack Merridew, am I right? He can be something else. He's the only person I've ever seen who brags about having been blocked previously as a sock puppet. And I apologize, he wikistalks me and he followed me to the page. I've complained about it in the past but he persists. One of the things he does at the moment is ignore adding the template because he detests the color, although by not inserting it and making a few edits, he circumvents the consensus to use that template. I would still use the template I mentioned: {{Filmography table begin|Year|Film|Role|Notes}}
, put the episodes in the notes column and separate the filmography into two tables - television and films, and lose the TV/Cinema column altogether. Yes, I would support moving the tables to a separate page, but as two separate ones. If you need to, use the email link on my talk page to send any questions.
