editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Earl Holliman
editI have replaced several citations on the Earl Holliman page, but I have to stop now. I will get back to the page later. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
- I have finished going through the citations for the article. Internet Movie Data Base is not considered reliable for use in Wikipedia articles, and I have added a template to that effect at the top of the article. I suspect that several other sources in the citation list (such as Filmbug and Steve Gilliam's resume) may fall into that same category. I will leave it to someone else who knows more about criteria for reliability to determine that aspect of the citations. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:07, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Gloria Blondell
editI used Refill to replace the bare URL citation in Gloria Blondell, and I consolidated citations from Matthew Kennedy's book. I also added an IMDB template and an "unreliable source" template for Find-a-Grave. I will look at the other three articles as time permits. Eddie Blick (talk) 18:46, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Isabel Jewell
editI used Refill to replace the bare URL citations in Isabel Jewell. One of those turned out to be a blog, which I marked as questionable and so noted on the article's talk page. The original page is unavailable, but the archived copy clearly states that it is a blog. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:31, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Improving references
editWhat is causing problems for you when you try to improve references for articles?
I use reFill initially for bare URLs. That usually takes care of many http-only citations. For the ones that reFill doesn't take care of, it's a matter of copying the URL, going to that place on the web, and creating a new citation. Sometimes even that does not work. If the original web page has changed, and no archive was created for it, we are out of luck. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:14, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
I'm sorry if I'm causing an annoyance (sincerely I don't mean nor intend too). I've been trying to do them myself but the issue I've had is similar to the wording of what you have explained in your message between the second and third sentence, that's what I've been having in terms of "causing problems" and hopefully soon there won't be anymore. That's why I came to you for help.I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 01:33, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Don't worry; it's not an annoyance. I will work on more of the articles that you specified as time permits. Are entertainers of the past a special interest for you? Eddie Blick (talk) 19:12, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, and, yes; despite my username, entertainers of days gone by is very much a thing that I do take a interest in.I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 20:29, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
- Since you are interested in entertainers from the past, let me humbly point you to my list of online resources that might be helpful. I began the list when I was working almost solely on old-time radio articles (thus the title on the page), but as time has gone on I have expanded it with links to resources like Academy Awards, Golden Globes, and Internet Broadway Database. Feel free to use the list if you think any of the items will help you edit or create articles. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Eleanor Parker
editI have made some improvements on Eleanor Parker, including replacing one bare URL. I also reworded the part about her cremation because the text did not match what the source says, and I added citations for the Academy Award nominations and the Volpi Cup. Like many articles about entertainers, this one suffers from use of IMDB. It also uses Rotten Tomatoes, which I think is not reliable, as a source. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
Caught up
editI have looked at Barney Martin, Janice Rule, Ben Gazzara, Dolores Gray, Ellen Drew, Jayne Meadows, Audrey Meadows, Evelyn Keyes, and Anne Francis. I didn't see any bare URLs in Barney Martin's article, but I used reFill to replace bare URLs in the other articles with better-formatted citations. Eddie Blick (talk) 19:20, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Since it appears
editthat you are turning into a serious editor (with a good mentor) I'd like to point out that if you put something, anything, on your user page then your user name will change into a blue link rather than being the red one that it is now. The blue link, as opposed to the red link, suggests to others, or at least to me, that you are not the dead end that red links on wikipedia conotes and that perhaps you are even a serious editor who intends to stay around.

Holliman citations
editI have replaced the bare URL for the Kolin book with a more detailed citation. References from Google Books are the easiest sources to cite. If you use Source Editor, just select the Cite Book template, paste the URL in the appropriate box, and click the magnifying-glass icon beside the box. The title, author, and other information will appear in their appropriate boxes. All you have to add is the page number(s) and the date of access, which can be done by a click.
The "New York Times Movies & TV - Anthony Earl Numkena" citation presents a different problem. I didn't find Holliman's name anywhere on the linked page. I suspect that the cited Times page changes content regularly, so that whatever it had about Holliman in the past was removed at some point. Eddie Blick (talk) 21:43, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Excuse me, I refuse to be blocked by you, or anybody else, for that matter for the following reasons. First, I have several VHS and DVD recordings on interviews that Skip E. Lowe did during the 1980s and 1990s and the one of hers features her admitting both her adherence and political views, therefore that edit was in good faith. Second, with that being said, you'll be good enough to keep your distance, leave me be, those edits were sincere and were not meant to cause any harm, and you'll be good enough not to type anymore comments on my talk page or bother me for any reason again. I am a well-respected editor here and I have not done anything wrong intentionally.

For your information, my message above is NOT a threat; that is a very straightforward cease and desist message. I never bothered this person and therefore, that person is not within the right to bother me when he started his reversions due to my good faith edits.

editYou may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Conchata Ferrell. - FlightTime (open channel) 21:12, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
Ms. Ferrell has been deceased since October 12, 2020, not only did I have legit source of her faith and political views which she cited herself per a collection of Skip E. Lowe's interviews that I have (which I am going to be added back in because they are valid!) secondary, there are quite a number of biographies of other deceased people who mention Find a Grave either as a source of they make mention of them in the external links so perhaps somebody out there ought to tidy those up a bit. I would appreciate if you did not take up my time and threaten me with blockage, my edits were in good faith and I am a very legit and upstanding editor here as well. I did not mean any kind of disruption in my edits and I will thank you withdraw very kindly to withdraw this warning as I, again, know that I have not done anything wrong on purpose. Let's be civil and be big boys and girls here, shall we? Thanks!--I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 21:48, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

editBefore adding a category to an article, as you did to Laura Linney, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. Binksternet (talk) 17:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
In the article, it clearly states that she supported former president Barack Obama on more than one occasion, if she were not a Democrat that would not have been the cast. Those categories were most accurate and appropriate, and I fail to see why you are wasting my precious time when I did something was sincerely true having noticed that on her page. I will re-add the categories and going forth I will please and thank you to not disturb me again.--I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 18:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Laura Linney, you may be blocked from editing. Edit warring, violating WP:BLPPRIVACY. Binksternet (talk) 18:22, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- My editing is NOT disruptive, it is good faith! YOU ARE THE ONE BEING DISRUPTIVE AND DISREPSECTFUL!! Ms. Linney is a well-known liberal-minded Democrat and the township in Connecticut where she lives if you access her voter records online (WHICH I DID BEFORE YOU REVERTED THAT ALSO) you will find that she is factually a registered Democrat and that all was true! I suggest you revert back what you did and leave me be per my suggestion. I am a very well-respected and regarded editor on here and I know right down to a science what I am doing. I did nothing wrong and you are being not only very uncooperative but also extremely rude towards me and I do not appreciate that. You do not need to threaten me with blockage for I have done nothing wrong and quite frankly if you're going to jump on somebody right away when they know what there doing is factual you yourself should be blocked and furthermore should not be on here at all because that is not what this platform is for. Be good enough to act your age versus your shoesize and, again, please leave me be and never contact me again nor revert my good faith edits! That's my final word! I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 18:38, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Laura Linney. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet (talk) 19:23, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- You need to find a WP:SECONDARY source talking about how Democratic Party politics are important to Laura Linney. Don't use voter records. Binksternet (talk) 19:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
An edit war with a moron like you!? MY LEFT FOOT!! You think you're the best thing since slice bread, than you can freely edit Ms. Linney's page as much as you want to in order to re-add her political affiliation in those categories (which, AGAIN, was correct in the first place because anybody who knows her offscreen knows that's how she is! I've even seen interviews of her where she verbally admits herself that she is a Democrat!) since you feel the need to be so strong in editing the fact I keep adding in. I will NOT, 100% absolutely NOT, be blocked by anybody on here and that goes DOUBLE for a brainless baboon like you!! I REFUSE to let that happen nor further be treated in a way as distasteful as this! I am done doing editing on her page with this and I am not going to argue with you any further nor take a swim in the pool of your evident nonsense! Going forth, you will NEVER contact me again and don't even think of replying to this comment as I have nothing left to say to someone who has proven to be such a infantile little nothing like you who apparently has nothing else better to do with your life than disrupt others for no valid reason at all. I know you more than likely won't like what was said here but after how you treated me today, I don't give two squats about you at all. Enjoy the rest of your life and try to develop of a braincell with a sense of direction along the way "wee one".--I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 21:29, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
- I'll take that as a "No, I couldn't find any reliable sources to support my preferred version." Binksternet (talk) 22:31, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
Get bent you little troll, there are thousands of reliable sources out there you're just to stupid and incompetent to get off your dunk and dig a little yourself. Stop talking to me and when you're finished reading this you know what you can do to yourself (of course, somebody would have to draw you a picture on how just because you've proven today that you are just that "special kind of person").--I'm Listening to 80s Music (talk) 23:02, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
