Revision as of 14:27, 26 October 2014
Just left you a message on my talk back page
Just left you this message: 22 October 2014 (UTC) Hey horses, how's it going? Why do you get to decide if my post was constructive or not? Sincerely Aurumdog. Forgive me not sure what you mean by sign your posts Aurumdog (talk) 01:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC) Aurumdog (talk) 01:20, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Aurumdog
- I "get to decide" because I've gained experience editing, and trust from the community. --I dream of horses (T) @ 01:36, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry to bother you horses, but I guess that's decided then. So how can I make my post "appear constructive to" you?, thanks aurum Aurumdog :(talk) 12:21, 22 October 2014 (UTC)Aurumdog
- It's fine to "bother" me sometimes. Part of what tipped me off to the fact it may not have been constructive was the word "crap", plus the reference was "check out this other Wikipedia page". Ironically, Wikipedia doesn't consider itself a reliable source, so it was a negative story that was unreliably sourced. --I dream of horses (T) @ 14:37, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hey horses, are you saying I should give it another try and not use the word crap and not cite Wikipedia as a source?. thxs aurum — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aurumdog (talk • contribs) 13:42, October 23, 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, and I should slow down sometimes. :-) I dream of horses (T) @ 19:55, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey horses, thxs for the advice. You are right, more right than you know: time is appreciated more the slower you go. Just remember you are the one dreaming of horses. C ya later, aurum — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aurumdog (talk • contribs) 21:54, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- Of course. I dream of horses (T) @ 22:05, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- hey horses, I did give it another go but the txt ain't on the page no more. Any ideas? As in where did it go? And how do I edit my txt again, because last night I finally came up with a more acceptable term for: "beat the living crap out of it." → "beat the living hell out of it." Aurumdog (talk) 22:01, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- Looking at the edit history of the article, it appears that another editor has deleted it, citing the fact that it's unreferenced. Probably best to let this go. I dream of horses (T) @ 01:58, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hey horses, you are probably right. But I finally was in with a chance ("beat the living hell out of it.") Plus I did cite it. They just didn't like my cite; not technical enough. I know this is a big ask but can you register a complaint saying that deleting an edit without telling the writer is just rude, no matter how big of a wiki editor you are. If you can't just tell me how and I'll give it a shot. Otherwise stick a fork in that edit because it is done. So, am I. Out. all the best, thxs aurum.

- You could ask for a third opinion, if you wish. However, I predict that, at this point, the third opinion will be to not include that in the article. I dream of horses (T) @ 08:35, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
hey horses, I want to take back what I said in my last post. "Rude," I hate being the dumbest person in the room but... Rude is completely wrong: when one editor can remove the edit of another without even saying they have: it is AN ABUSE OF POWER. This just shows us how wiki has gotten away from its roots. Wiki recognizes at heart that all knowledge is evolving, changing. Whatever we now know is different, more complete than in the past, and in the future we will know more than we know now. This is true across all fields of knowledge. Wiki is the only way to meet the constant, changing nature of knowledge. If we allow wiki to be abused by those running it what hope does it have? All a senior editor needs do when removing someone else's edit is inform them (transparency) and at the very least give them a reason (hopefully a reasonable reason) for doing so. What do you think? all the best, aurum -Aurumdog (talk) 09:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
Editing Liam Burrows Page
Dear I Dream of Horses
I’m attempting to make some slight formatting changes to Liam Burrow page, but I don’t know how. Specifically in the Photo Box: How do I get the words “Musical career” to read in Bold Black but Left Justified and as “Musical Career”? Also, how do I get the headings “Genres” and “Labels” to be in black so as to be stylistically consistent with all the other labels? I’d appreciate your help. Thanks. --The Brain Coach (talk) 22:42, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if what you want is possible. --I dream of horses (T) @ 03:37, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
OK. Thanks for responding, if you find anything out, let me know. I have no idea who programs these set dialog box designs. --The Brain Coach (talk) 07:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

RTB2 nominated for delete
Well, that page is useful. I've fixed it, but can you remove the many vandalism and wikilinks? 202.160.16.131 (talk) 10:57, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- Wikilinks are useful, and I don't see any vandalism. I dream of horses (T) @ 19:42, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Regarding edits on List of Comedy Nights with Kapil episodes
Hi. All the edits made by me have been genuine. Looks ike you are new here. The title of every page on Wikipedia must be mentioned in 'bold' in the article's first line and the titles of films, TV series etc. in italics. Also, combining parts under a single column/row instead of repeating the same will only enhance the understanding. Please do not delete. Thank you. Uploader112 (talk) 16:52, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- I think you have the wrong person. I've never edited the article, or at least, I haven't edited it recently. On top of that, I'm nowhere near new. --I dream of horses (T) @ 19:46, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
Oops! Wrong photo!
{{admin-help}}
Hi! I misunderstood what my client was asking and uploaded the wrong image, which they do not have the rights to! It's the only image I've upload: Michael DeFranco Speaks at Bloomberg Government's "Innovators and Entrepreneurs in The New Normal Economy" panel.png
Can you please delete it? Beccamgatesman (talk) 20:51, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I can't help with that, but I changed the tag so I'll attract someone who can.
- Please read our conflict of interest guidelines in the meantime. You may actually be required to disclose that editing Wikipedia is part of your job. I dream of horses (T) @ 20:58, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
- I've tagged the file for deletion, it'll take an admin at Commons, not an ENWIKI admin, to do the deletion, but I suspect it will be uncontroversial.

Evanescence is NOT Goth Rock.
Being a goth, in the culture, and deeply involved within it, I can tell you straight away that Evanescence is NOT a goth band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.122.114.122 (talk) 21:06, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

Croisiere de France Cruises links not updated...
Yes, I don't know how this thing works. But I'll do my best.
Added and updated some external links on the Croisiere de France CDF cruises Wiki. Mostly sample menus and such. The text was updated but the links are still bad. I tried to edit but I did update the links correctly (I think - they look right anyway), but when clicking on the updated/new links I'm taken to an invalid page in some cases (sample dinner menus, as an example).
Not sure what is up.
Regards,
Stockjock1 75.85.176.124 (talk) 19:09, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not sure how to help with that, either. Did you copy and paste? I kept the links there so maybe you can get an accurate link. If that proves impossible, it's best to remove them.
- FYI, I shortened and moved around some of your edits a bit in an effort to improve them.
- Also, you should remember to log in! --I dream of horses (T) @ 06:29, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
