Disambiguation link notification for April 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Climate change in California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sierra Nevada (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.

Help Desk

Thanks for your ping at the Help Desk, but I am unable to get involved with whatever this dispute may be. I am going to have very limited computer access for the next few weeks. Besides, as someone pointed out, the Help Desk is not the place for this kind of issue. --MelanieN (talk) 23:48, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Invitation

Resurrection of Southern California Task Force

After moving from Los Angeles County to Kern County to San Luis Obispo County, I am finally realizing that there is life in California outside of L.A. and San Francisco, where I lived and grew up. Oh, I have also lived in San Diego, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, Yolo and Sacramento counties, and I earned my undergraduate degree in Riverside County. I am trying to breathe life into the Southern California Task Force, and I hope you will join me. Could you visit our list of participants at the other end of this link and update your description of what you are interested in doing for us, assuming that you still want to be in the mix, that is.

In recompense, I will buy you a drink during the Wikipedia Welcome Week I am planning for Morro Bay on the Central Coast in July. Yours sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 18:45, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Italian American Article

I am somewhat perplexed concerning the flag you raised in the Culture section of the Italian American article. This quite long section already has 40 references. It would be helpful if you used "reference needed" flags as appropriate in this section, or let me know on my Talk page what you consider the general shortcomings to be. Philantonia (talk) 14:20, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

There are whole paragraphs and sentences lacking reliable source references, thus the tag. Thus IMHO it was an appropriate use of the tag. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, therefore seeing an issue but not having the time at that moment to fix the issue that I saw, I left a tag.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:51, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

I am still quite baffled that someone who has never contributed to the article can make a snap judgment that a major section is "lacking in reliable source references" (when, in fact, there are 40 references incorporated). I think it is incumbent upon you to either be more precise with one or more "citation needed' flags, or remove your tag. Yes, its true anyone can edit an article, but the highest standards of Wikipedia editing should always prevail. Philantonia (talk) 20:42, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Blah, blah, blah. Stop pestering me.
I saw sentences and whole paragraphs missing references. If Philantonia feels that those not normally editing the article shouldn't be noting issues, there is page protection which could be applied for. I don't understand the mountain created out of this mole hill. Either improve the section and remove the tag. Or remove the tag and leave those mulititude of sentences and paragraph subject to possible challenge. I don't care, enough about the subject to continue this convo.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Entries like: "Italian American culture, and transplanted Italian culture, have influenced American culture in a variety of ways, such as: Italian restaurants, foods, coffees and desserts; wine production (in California and elsewhere in the U.S.) and consumption; popular music, starting in the 1940s and 1950s, and continuing into the present; operatic, classical and instrumental music; fashion and design; "Capra-esque" movies (in the style of Frank Capra); Italianate architecture, in homes, churches, and public buildings; Montessori schools; Christmas crèches; fireworks displays; bocce; Columbus Day parades; and the commemoration of Columbus, as reflected in numerous monuments, city names, names of institutions and the poetic name, "Columbia", for the United States itself." are based on a generally recognized part of American culture, and do not require documented proof (however, I will where possible make links to other Wikipedia articles). In other cases, the statement is only an extension of what has been discussed previously in the article. Finally, your response to a legitimately (and politely posed concern on my part) is inconsistent with the highest standard of Wikipedia protocol Philantonia (talk) 22:27, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

LoL, unexplained re-addition of non-verified non-sourced content is high standards. LoL. Stop trolling me.

If that was an IP editing I would consider that vandalism. LoL.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:40, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Uber regulation summary: help needed

Hi RightCowLeftCoast, I'm reaching out to each of the editors who commented on the "Request for Comment" at Talk:Uber (company) re: the Uber article's section on regulation and legal issues. As you might remember, editors were overwhelmingly in favor of splitting off that information into a new article, then summarizing in the Uber article. While the first part happened, there has been no movement on the summarizing and Regulatory opposition continues to grow and grow. To help kickstart that process, I've put forward a draft for everyone to take a look at that aims to cover the key details in a summary form: Summarizing Regulatory opposition

My conflict of interest means that it's best for me not to be bold and move this into the article myself, but I hope that it can at least be a starting point for other editors to work from. Would you mind coming back to the page to have a look? Craig at Uber (talk) 19:52, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
