→Roberto: you removed full citations and replaced them with a bare link. Why? This is certainly not appropriate Wikipedia footnoting |

:::You additionally removed full citations, inserting instead footnotes that simply lead to a number and a link. Despite what your colleague, the anonymous IP, wrote, Wikipedia does indeed have standards for footnotes and citations, and leaving a bare number and a link is certainly not one of them. I would respectfully ask that you temper your comments, behave more collegially, and, as a new user, read up on Wikipedia citation guidelines. --[[User:Tenebrae|Tenebrae]] ([[User talk:Tenebrae|talk]]) 12:55, 27 May 2011 (UTC) |

:You did not do that. Fixing the footnotes is fine, please do it some more. But (1) the requests for citations were incorrect because you didn't read the text, the citation was already there. If you had looked before your vandalism you would have seen that yesterday a citation was put for every entry as you wanted. (2) Note the required policies. If you didn't see the reference to the Pittsburgh interview re:'''son of diplomat''', you should have put in a {{fact}} and someone would have pointed out your error, not slandered the editor. (3) The admin agreement to protect was an error, I wasn't going to make an issue about it, but do you want one? (4) I don't recall how many years I have been registered with WP, but I don't see that makes a difference, except that such things as learning how to complain takes more time which I don't wish to do. (5) The vandalism I was referring to is wholesale removal of text which had nothing to do with your complaint about format- it was only because you didn’t like the editor. You can change footnotes all you want; I just asked you to on the page. (6) “In addition, we don't say "Mr. Aguirre-Sacasa,"...” In what English class is an article with every line begining He. He, He. acceptable? Please point out the WP style page regarding this issue. (7) Removal of citations? I put the review citations in the visible text from their hidden location in the former text, with the express notation, which you apparently didn’t bother to read, that they were “preliminary”, so you could fix them. If you had edited those versions properly, it would have been done. [[User:Boringbob4wk|Boringbob4wk]] ([[User talk:Boringbob4wk#top|talk]]) 13:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC) |

Welcome

Roberto
I'm afraid I find your remarks puzzling, as an admin agreed to semi-protect Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa because an anonymous IP was consistently adding non-MOS footnoting, removing citation requests, WP:PEACOCK terms, and most seriously inserting uncited personal material in violation of WP:BLP — doing so by inserting them within footnoted passages to make them appear to be cited. Given the vague and non-specific claims you made in your post at my talk page, I don't believe your charges are valid, and perhaps we need to seek an RfC or other third-party mediation. --Tenebrae (talk) 12:23, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- I've just gone to the page and I'm afraid that your calling my good-faith fully edit-summarized edits, which included restoring citation requests from uncited claims, and adding titles, bylines and dates to footnotes, as vandalism, is inaccurate and slanderous. I understand you are a new user who has only been on since April, but that is no excuse for such behavior. --Tenebrae (talk) 12:31, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- For example, Metro Weekly is a periodical. They are italicized. By changing the field from "work" to "publisher", you remove the italics. That is an example of the changes you made to my so-called vandalism. Your intemperate actions and accusations are inaccurate and uncalled for. I hope you don't mind, but I'm afraid I must italicize that periodical. I will also add bylines to the Playbill footnotes. In addition, we don't say "Mr. Aguirre-Sacasa," which I will remove. I don't believe an admin would consider this vandalism, and in fact, at this point, I believe a Wiki etiquette filing would not be out of order. --Tenebrae (talk) 12:40, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

If you had looked before your vandalism you would have seen that yesterday a citation was put for every entry as you wanted. (2) Note the required policies.
