==Nondropframe, My name is Bill Thomas. I am the brother of Cathleen Thomas,who together with her friend Rebecca Dowski were the first two victims in the so called Colonial Parkway Murders. Please don't remove my edits-- I worked very hard to update the case in terms of new articles and new developments. I actually worked on the edits and new links for hours over the weekend. The page desparately needed an update.
I am not very experienced with Wiki, so I may not have known how to sign in, but I can assure you that I made all of the edits with the best of intentions. You can reach me via e-mail at billthom56@aol.com, or on my cell at 917-434-2525. I live in Los Angeles, so there may be a time zone difference. If I made a mistake or two, please help me edit the changes rather than delete them. Best regards, Bill Thomas

Additional note from Bill Thomas. I found my Wikipedia username, which is billthom56, very similar to my e-mail above.
I am the guy who is often the family spokesman in the stories linked about the Colonial Parkway Murders.
Many thanks for your understanding from the brother of a murder victim and a Wiki rookie.
Bill Thomas

You undid more than just the change to "'illegal' immigrants" to "undocumented Americans". What was wrong with my other edits? And would "undocumented immigrants" be okay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.34.197.60 (talk) 18:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
- 93.34.197.60 you're quite right in saying that I shouldn't have reverted your first edit -- that was my mistake. And yes, according to the Manual of Style, "undocumented immigrants" is the ideal terminology. I've restored your first edit and made the appropriate change to the terminology. Thanks, --Non-Dropframe talk 18:39, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Stephen Gorton
I tried to add to my brother Stephen Gorton's page as he passed away last week. I couldn't see where to add a citation of the source, but the sources are myself and Stephen's (and my)older brother, Clive Gorton. Regards, Peter G. Gorton Pete12gen (talk) 16:44, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- talk:Pete12gen, first, I want to express my sincerest condolences in regards to your loss as well as a heartfelt thanks for your willingness to contribute to Wikipedia. However. guidelines require verifiable sources for such major changes to biographies of living or recently deceased people and for this reason I reverted your edit. --Non-Dropframe talk 18:37, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Publications update
I manage publications at the New Bedford Whaling Museum. I was in the process of updating our publications list and you reverted to the old page. Why did you do that, what rule was I not following? User:Michael_Lapides
- Michael Lapides as you did not include an edit summary, all I saw was a large amount of content being removed without reason. Therefore I reverted the edit. However, now that I'm aware that you are associated with the subject, I'd ask that you review the conflict of interest guidelines. Thanks --Non-Dropframe talk 18:31, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Michael Lapides (talk) 13:12, 29 October 2015 (UTC)OK, thanks for help. Will use edit summary field now on

Hello. I see that you undid my editing at Hell in a Cell 2015 because it was disruptive. It was not. That last sentence was a joke, but the rest wasn't. I cited the quote, which means that it is not disruptive. If you go to the link, you can see that Larry actually said "bullshit." Thatwweguy 619 (talk) 02:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Your edit
Your change was not actually needed, the giant tortoise has an abnormally sized reproductive organ. Thus I would appreciate if you would allow my to complete my changes to the article. The Giant Penile Tortoise as it we're was going to be a larger edit to the article and I would appreciate if I could make my changes in increments to allow for proper time to be given to add needed links citations etc. Thank you. ZanesyPoodle (talk) 17:07, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- ZanesyPoodle the animal is known most widely as the "Giant tortoise" and the title of the article should remain that per WP:COMMONNAME. Further, per Template:Infobox animal, "The given name of the animal. Use the common name, typically name of article, if multiple names are used." Finally, your edit broke the displayed image. Thanks, --Non-Dropframe talk 20:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

you reverted that 2 MINUTES after I edited it, how did you find it so quickly — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.104.217 (talk) 20:34, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- 86.156.104.217 Two minutes you say? A bit slow on my part then. Your edit was reverted as it did not seem constructive. In the future, please be sure to explain your edits in the edit summary. --Non-Dropframe talk 20:47, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

- 86.156.104.217, to learn how to edit constructively, please consider going on the Wikipedia Adventure. It's fun and takes less than an hour. --Non-Dropframe talk 00:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the advice. I will learn this in the future. JamesChen2003 (talk) 16:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- JamesChen2003, very glad to help! I always love welcoming a new user! If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know! --Non-Dropframe talk 16:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

This user is vandalizing Triple Crown Championship by adding his imaginary wrestler Christopher "The Killer" Killer. He even made a page for his wrestler. Can you help me?--Keith Okamoto (talk) 18:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keith Okamoto, I've reverted the edits in question as "any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed" per WP:VERIFY. You may do the same but please be aware of WP:3RR. --Non-Dropframe talk 18:08, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- That was one the main reasons why I asked you for help as he appeared to bait me into an edit war with him. I really didn't want to get blocked because of a vandal.--Keith Okamoto (talk) 18:11, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- Keith Okamoto, you're quite right. After looking at the edit history for that page, I would caution you against editing much further. Although your edits aren't "reverts" in the traditional sense, they are reverts in effect. In the future, issuing the user cautions on their talk page and making good use of edit summaries will keep you on the right side of any disputes and will aid in having the user blocked, if needed. --Non-Dropframe talk 18:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
