- Although Fanoftheworld is currently an indefinitely blocked user, his references accurately and correctly identify St. Mary's University of Minnesota as an All-Steinway School. Your edit appears to have been made with good intentions, but it introduced inaccurate information into an article and for that reason has been reverted.Brian2357 (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- Removing spam is not the same as introducing inaccuarate information. Whether or not St. Mary's is an All-Steinway or all Pepsi or all whatever University is not the issue. Any assistance in removing Fanoftheworld's spam would be appreciated. Sandcherry (talk) 23:15, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- Sandcherry,
- I agree with your contention regarding spam vs. inappropriate reversion. However, speaking from a strictly third party perspective, I do not see this as an obvious case of spam. I may be suggesting the obvious, but if the problem is not so much with the edit than it is with the existence of the category in the first place, nominate the category for deletion, and make your case so that we can all see it. I am not saying that I doubt you, given Fan's ban, but it does not appear an obvious vandalism case. Could you provide some background? LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:08, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for an excellent suggestion! Please review my logic supporting the category deletion on the All-Steinway Schools talk page.Sandcherry (talk) 02:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- I see your point, Sandcherry. I apologize for my first comment, and agree with you on all your points, including that the category should be deleted. Being an All-Steinway School is a prestigious honor, but it is not a defining feature of the school. I am just saying that while the category exists, it should still include all of the schools with that distinction.Brian2357 (talk) 03:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

The Idiot Cycle
[edit]Hello,
I would like to know why you are deleting citations and content for The Idiot Cycle.
We are the copyright owners of the film, and the facts and citations that you deleted were correct.
We are also curious, have you seen the film? We ask, because it would be good to see the film who's wikipedia entry you have been constantly editing and deleting information from.We also ask if you have seen the film since it has not been screened in the States and the only place to see it is our online system where we've had no users from Texas.
If you are deleting and editing information for purely PR and communications reasons, we will alert wikipedia's editorial staff.
Thank you, JPS Films —Preceding unsigned comment added by CareBear134 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

A useful copyedit. Well done. SilkTork ✔Tea time 23:42, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Re your statement on that talk page, the requested information along with cites had already been added to the article and yet an editor continued to use the talk page as a circular soapbox, repeating posts & repeating thoughts & re-asking questions that had nothing to do with improving the article. Would welcome knowing what was improper about my close of that particular thread. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 02:00, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- Shearonink, although I agree with your comments about Wikitime using the talk page as a soap box, you appear to be an involved editor. Therefore, your use of the “hat” function does not comply with Wikipedia policy as I understand it. Cresix, an uninvolved editor, apparently agreed with you as he/she reverted Wikitime's reversion of your use of the function. If my understanding of this function is incorrect or you do not consider yourself an involved editor in this case, please let me know. Cheers! Sandcherry (talk) 22:17, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
- At that point, Wikipietime was disrupting the talkpage and using it against policy as a WP:SOAPBOX, not having an actual discussion about how to improve the article - their question had been asked and answered repeatedly. Though I appreciate your thoughts on this matter, I can find no guideline that states an editor who has posted on a talkpage cannot close a discussion, so I would appreciate the specific guideline that you think I violated.Shearonink (talk) 16:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
This is from the "hidden archive top" or "hat" template:
"This template should only be used by uninvolved editors or administrators in conjunction with the talk page guidelines and relevant advice at refactoring. It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors."
If you were not an involved editor, your use of the template would be acceptable based on Wikipietime's violation of WP:SOAPBOX IMHO. Although an "involved editor" is not defined, I assume it means editors who have posted comments on the talk page. Sandcherry (talk)
- It's funny, because on the page I found (Wikipedia:Closing discussions) who can/cannot, who should/should not close discussions is very ephemeral, it would have been helpful for that information to have been included on the actual 'Closing discussions' article. I would have thought an involved editor would be someone who was having a dispute with other/s, and that was what was odd about the situation...one editor was arguing, but basically he was only arguing with himself. Oh well, next time, I'll have to hunt up another editor or an administrator and they can then have all the closing fun.Shearonink (talk) 01:08, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean by "closing fun", but enjoy! --Wikipietime (talk) 03:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- I was referring to trying to do the right thing and even though it wasn't exactly wrong maybe it wasn't exactly right either...someone else can do all that the next time a talkpage I have posted on gets stuck in some circular reasoning. Shearonink (talk) 18:48, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
WVU Edit
[edit]User:173.220.216.144 has been blanking sections on a few pages, or just outright edit-warring. Other editors have reverted his "edits", so I did as well. Whether "The Mountaineer Jeffersonian" is no longer in print or not doesn't matter as notablity isn't temporary. That section about "The Mountaineer Jeffersonian" can be altered to show the paper is no longer in print. Though, because a website not renewed, I haven't seen anything that would show this is the case. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:14, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Ethanol Article
[edit]Sandcherry, regarding specifically the lines I have added to the ethanol article, I do not think that they are copyrighted. Honestly, it looks like a preview widely spread on the internet, since similar files are available in several links besides slideshare:
http://pt.scribd.com/doc/151989870/Research-Economics-Green-Ethylene-from-Ethanol http://issuu.com/intratec/docs/rep001a-preview

Not helpful - "Not to be confused with Charles Town"
[edit]Sandcherry,
Why did you undo my undo of AnalogueKid's unnecessary addition
"Not to be confused with Charles Town"
at the Charleston, West Virginia page?
The disclaimer is not needed, is not applicable to Charleston (it is Charles Town that is confused with Charleston, not the other way around), and it muddies the top of the page of a US capital city.
Charles Town's population is approx. 5,300. Charleston--the capital of West Virginia--is a little over 50,000.
Please stick to editing pages the subject of which you are familiar with.
Thank you,

- It is customary to state a reason for removing content. Please do so in the future to avoid having your revisions reverted. Also, assume good faith as the editor may know more about the subject than you. If you are from Charleston, you are probably aware that Charleston and Charles Town along with Charleston, SC are sometimes mixed up by the geographically challenged. Not unlike Moorestown and Morris Town, NJ. Cheers! Sandcherry (talk)
- I provided two reasons: the disambiguation does not belong to Charleston, it belongs to Charles Town, WV, and it is itself an addition of confusion to the page. I have lived in Charleston, West Virginia my entire life. In this case, I offer that I know more about the subject than you, unless you, too, have spent 40+ years as a resident of Charleston, West Virginia. Assume good faith that I know the subject at hand better than you. Cheers! Johnwstreet (talk) 23:43, 14 August 2013 (UTC)johnwstreet
- Mr. Street, in your first two days editing Wikipedia, you edit-warred with editor Neutrality, accused him (or her) and me of bad faith, and claimed to have provided reasons for content deletion when you did not. Quite a start. Be that as it may, welcome to Wikipedia. As Neutrality pointed out to you, no one "owns" any Wiki page no matter how much expertise they possess or think they possess. Reasonable people differ which makes Wikipedia interesting and sometimes frustrating. And yes, I have more than a passing acquaintance with Charlie West. Sandcherry (talk)

Quotation
[edit]I restored the quotation in Native American mascot controversy, since it is short quote in comparison to the length of the source, needed the original language in order to convey the meaning, and is well within standard practice for fair use. The article contains other examples of such usage.FriendlyFred (talk) 04:10, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Phil Jackson
[edit]I think my addition of the "see also" entry Sports in New York's Capital District for Phil Jackson is relevant, since, according to that article "Jackson won his first championship ring when he guided the Albany Patroons to the 1984 CBA championship." However, if you don't agree, then so be it. Peter Flass (talk) 21:14, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
- I take your point about the Albany Patroons being relevant and just added them to Phil's list of head coaching positions. The "see also" would be lengthy if similar articles like the one you added were included due to the breadth of his career. However, if you think it has significant relevance, please add it again. Cheers! Sandcherry (talk) 21:32, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Lutefisk edit
[edit]Hey, is there a particular reason my edit adding a hatnote was "not needed"? Because if people are looking for the band, they might need it to point them there if they just searched for "Lutefisk". Jinkinson talk to me 01:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- There are two lutefisk articles that show up in a wiki search - lutefisk for the fish and lutefisk (band) for the band. Therefore, the hat note seems unneeded as it is unlikely someone would confuse a fish with a band. Cheers! Sandcherry (talk) 23:05, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Minneapolis-St. Paul
[edit]I would like you to please stop reverting the information I have added to the article Minneapolis–Saint Paul. This is information is valuable to the article and I have spent countless hours trying to find this information. The reasons I have added this information is I believe the article as a whole fails to address is the metropolitan aspect, Minneapolis-St. Paul as you know is not just made up of the two cities but other suburbs too which is what my information provides and explains that sort of information. If you look at similar articles such as Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex or Atlanta metropolitan area they have the exact same information in them and other metropolitan related articles also. You such added a source, now it wouldn't be very encyclopedic to put "If you want a list of suburbs, please visit here." This is site is made to provide people the information they are looking for, not to be redirected to another website that may not even provide the information they are looking for.

Archer Daniels Midland History
[edit]Hi Sandcherry,
You reverted my removal of unreferenced history about a week ago. I didn't respond then because I hoped you would add a ref for the content. If, as you said in your edit summary, the material is copied verbatim from ADM website,' this is a possible WP:copyvio, and independent sources are typically preferred over company sources in any case. Do you have a ref for the content? Dialectric (talk) 13:49, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Dialectric, All good points. I revised the entry to remove WP:copyvio and added a reference. The reference source is from the ADM website until I can find an independent source. Cheers! Sandcherry (talk) 01:09, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

- You are making my point. Including individual chain stores because someone wrote about them would unreasonably lower the inclusion bar IMO.Sandcherry (talk) 04:31, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- "Because someone wrote about it" is more or less the inclusion bar on here. Wikipedia's purpose is to be a tertiary source: documenting what other people write about related to a subject. One other thing: remember Wikipedia:Notability is not talking about internal article content, but whether a topic should have its own article. "The notability guideline does not determine the content of articles, but only whether the topic should have its own article." WhisperToMe (talk) 04:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, what I did is put something a little bit different - the new paragraph talks about the general state of the supermarket market, what it meant (gentrification), and fears from residents (closings of older stores, loss of neighborhood character, increased traffic). It uses new sources and instead of focusing on one supermarket it focuses upon Montrose itself. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:26, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

nothing notable about this stabbing. there are lots of reported stabbings in Houston, none have passed the threshold for inclusion.. This is not true: the stabbing actually meets Wikipedia's notability criteria for a standalone article in terms of its reliable source coverage (I wrote it here: Gabriel Granillo). It got attention because Benton was white and because it happened in Montrose (not a gang ridden area). Also a novel (which meets Wikipedia's notability criteria for a standalone article because of the multiple book reviews) was based off of the stabbing: The Knife and the Butterfly. I feel trying to remove mentions of the stabbing is removing something negative about Montrose. Wikipedia is supposed to cover the good, the bad, and the ugly of any subject and trying to remove negative information with a lasting impact/extensively covered in reliable sources over a number of years (not a one-off thing, in other words not WP:ROUTINE) isn't good for the article. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:49, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
- Even though the history page needs to mention the stabbing, I also want to make it clear that it's very unusual for this kind of thing to happen in Montrose (that was one of the reasons why it was notable to begin with) WhisperToMe (talk) 06:27, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Montrose v. Neartown
[edit]Gosh... I actually don't know whether the merger should happen (and I'm a Houston native!). I think what might help is to see if there are published articles discussing the definition of "Montrose" and overlap with "Neartown". They can come from the Houston Chronicle, Houston Business Journal, Houstonia, Houston Press, Texas Monthly, or anywhere. An example of definition info may be found at: Third_Ward,_Houston#Boundaries - There isn't even an agreed definition of that!
I'm not opposed to a merger. However I think that if it's done it would be good to get ironclad information on the definition of Montrose from published sources so we have some to cover our butts. There's also Montrose District, Houston as that in and of itself is a doozy! The Chronicle had a map that defined Montrose as a far smaller area than Neartown and I had used that the basis for Montrose's boundaies.
As for the usage of Neartown that can be tracked in newspapers: the Houston Public Library has a database of newspapers which can be accessed with your library card. Once you log into the Chronicle 1985-present section you can search "Neartown" and "Montrose" and compare the results. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:52, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Sandcherry! Regarding your revert here: is there any reason to keep the double use of "and"? As far as I know, it isn't really common in English to have two instances of "and" in an enumeration? ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 20:42, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
- I reverted my mistake. I got it exactly backwards. Sorry for the inconvenience! Sandcherry (talk) 01:35, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Damages from ARCO Chemical Channelview explosion
[edit]Hey Sandcherry, regarding the $100 million damages claim made in the lede of the article 1990 ARCO explosion, that statement is reiterated in the body of the article and is cited here ("The 100 million dollar tragedy...") and here ("The explosion killed 17 people, and damages were estimated to be $100 million."). -JJonahJackalope (talk) 16:48, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Sandcherry,
If you are going to tag pages for deletion, in this case a Proposed deletion, please do two things in the future. Leave a descriptive edit summary. This is just a good practice with all of your editing but is especially in the case of a PROD because if the tag is removed, for any reason, admins have to be able to see that the article has already been PROD'd because an article can't be PROD'd twice. This is seen by an admin by looking at the edit summaries in the page history.
Also, you need to post a notification on the talk page of the page creator any time you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/CFD/RFD/etc.). This is does easily if you start using Twinkle, an editing tool used by most page patrollers and many administrators. It has a lot of great features, it remembers all of the appropriate templates so you don't need to search for them, and it will both leave a helpful edit summary and post these notices on your behalf. Just be sure that your Twinkle Preferences has "Notify page creator" box checked off. Twinkle will also maintain deletion logs for you, you can use it to report vandals, you can use it to tag articles when there are problems, it's a very useful tool to make use of. Thank you.

Hydrogen
[edit]Why the undo? RemotelyInterested (talk) 06:01, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- You added "Specific Heat is constant pressure (Cp)" to the hydrogen article with no explanation. Why? Sandcherry (talk) 15:39, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
- Because the specific heat column listed is the constant pressure version, and not the constant volume version. Why no explanation of the revert? RemotelyInterested (talk) 03:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- I should have noted your addition was redundant in the edit summary. The sentence above the table states the values are at a constant pressure of 1 atmosphere. Sandcherry (talk) 03:55, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Because the specific heat column listed is the constant pressure version, and not the constant volume version. Why no explanation of the revert? RemotelyInterested (talk) 03:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to touch base regarding the recent changes made to [w:Alcoholic beverage]. I noticed that some of the work I had put in was reverted without prior discussion. I understand that we all have different perspectives and approaches, and I value collaboration and open communication in our team. In the future, I kindly request that we discuss any significant changes before implementing them to ensure alignment and avoid any unintentional setbacks. Clear communication is key to our success, and I believe that by working together and sharing our thoughts, we can achieve even better results. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to discussing this further with you. Thank you for your attention to this matter. --94.255.152.53 (talk) 03:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
