What's goin' on...

Serena Williams

Why do you keep re-editing Serena Williams' biographical article in a disruptive and negative manner?? Most of the wording and grammar doesn't make any sense and you are putting her Grand Slam achievements at the bottom of the page. Achievements of an athlete should follow immediately after the name introduction, as it with most tennis players, but you have decided to put Serena's achievements on a lower paragraph where users cannot see it, which only makes me conclude that you are a racist! And you NEED to get your facts right -- Serena Williams is WIDELY regarded as the greatest female tennis player of all time. Not just by "some" commentators and sports writers, as you would like. So get your facts right on that!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aries009 (talkcontribs) 21:36, 22 July 2016 (UTC) :[reply]

I invite you to take a deep breath and have a cup of tea. Click on the tab on the top of the Serena Williams page that says, "history." If you peruse this, you will see that I made no changes to the text on that page. What I did was perform an administrative action and semi-protect the page to stop the new and logged-out users from endlessly edit-warring over the same word order and word choice. I have no opinion on which version is WP:The Wrong Version. Take it to the talk page of the article, and discuss with the actual people who are working on the content how the article should read. When you reach consensus, one of the more experienced editors on the team can make those changes. May I also suggest these helpful tips? Peace. - CorbieV 15:23, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RFPP request for Kolkata festival

Howdy, The use of extendedconfirmed protection for Kolkata festival does not appear to fall under either of the two required criteria for protection. Please modify the protection level you have used for this article. Thanks, Nakon 01:08, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it. OK, I'm thinking we might have to go full rather than semi, as even though it's a new account doing this, and they're blocked now, they seem determined enough to me to edit up to autoconfirmed just to recreate. I'm going to full indef and make them go to AFC. If anyone feels that's too much I'll take it back down to semi, or I won't be offended if someone else wants to move it back down to semi after a while. I'm flexible on this one. :) - CorbieV 15:05, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Missouri River, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Buffalo (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.

Talk:Kenny Klein - could you please comment?

Hi!

I've been posting status of the court proceedings in the Kenny Klein article's talk page. I believe I am not violating any WP guidelines but as you are an admin and have been involved in this discussion, could you look in, comment, and if needed delete what I have written? Thanks so much! --BenBurch (talk) 21:25, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
