Please stop removing the Chairmanship of the United States House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming from Ed Markey's infobox. Chairmanship of Committees are regularly included in article infoboxes, please see John Dingell, Paul Ryan, and Barney Frank; just to name a very few.

Just to add to the above, showing respect for your fellow Wikipedians, Jerzeykydd, means providing an explanation when you are reverting their work. "Not necessary" is not an explanation. You know what's "not necessary"? Wikipedia. After all, humans survived for millennia without it. But that doesn't mean Wikipedia is not USEFUL. If you can find the time to undo what others are doing, you can find the time to explain why that undoing makes the article more useful for readers looking to be informed.--Brian Dell (talk) 06:38, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Steve Stockman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Steve Pearce (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.

I notice that in one of your recent edits to Deb Fischer, you added several citations in the form of bare URLs. This is discouraged, for reasons discussed at Template:Cleanup-link rot.

I'll expand and/or change the citations at the Fischer article; but could I ask you to take care of any other recent citations you might've added in bare-URL form, and to avoid doing so in the future? Thanks. Ammodramus (talk) 03:51, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Steve Stockman has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder.

Consistency is nice but it's not the only thing that matters. The stubs you're using as models are unreferenced, unbalanced, poorly written horse shit. For an actual biography, the committee assignment list looks good as a float, as it complements the narrative of the person's tenure without interrupting or calling too much attention to itself. Same argument for cabinet assignments in presidential biographies, or album reviews in music articles. For some horribly written stub it doesn't make technical sense to float it, so it might as well be a list. You've misidentified the problem: the problem the abundance of worthless stubs, not the failure of real biographies to comply with a stub format.

I don't mean to be uncivil but you're not doing any meaningful work on these articles, and you keep reverting legitimate changes just to prove a point. It's disruptive. Edit warring over subjective stylistic decisions is not a good practice.

If you really want consistency, get a newspaper account and comb through the archives and write some GAs on legislators so they're all up to Wikipedia standards. It's a lot more satisfying than trying to impose your stylistic opinions on other people's hard work. Open an encyclopedia and see if they have a perfect paragraph-to-paragraph correlation between each major political figure, with a matching bold heading for every sentence. It's not a real practice, and we shouldn't try it. The better written a biography is, the less it's going to fit into a strict granular heading structure. That's not as bad as you think. —Designate (talk) 16:38, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ted Kaufman may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s.

Can I ask why you felt it necessary to revert my edit at Sean Patrick Maloney? I added information, citations, and to the comprehensiveness. You however felt everything I added was "totally unnecessary," I would really like to hear your reasoning behind this? Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 01:28, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Sean Patrick Maloney. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. While you have not outright said you "own the page," you have continually reverted my edits and and undermined community input. I warn you that continuing down this path may lead to blocking.

Please have a look at WP:NOTE. 99.106.241.160 (talk) 03:58, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Jerzeykydd. Thank you. Erpert ^{Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it?} 06:23, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Given the fact that you have shown that you know how to nominate articles for deletion, I am reverting all of your "not notable" blankings as vandalism. Feel free to nominate the pages for deletion if you think they are not notable. --Guy Macon (talk) 10:29, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jerzeykydd, speaking as a sysop, your actions here are not acceptable. I would advise you to more thoroughly read the deletion policies and standards (WP:GNG should do it) before working in this area again. If you continue doing this sort of thing, I can and will block you from editing. Ironholds (talk) 10:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay; everyone makes mistakes :). Just take it a bit slower in future and you'll be fine - your good intentions are much appreciated! Ironholds (talk) 16:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You would be well-advised to discuss your concerns on the article Talk page. Several editors, including myself, have concerns with the material as previously presented, and have discussed several of them on the talk page. Blindly reverting and removing significant improvements is not productive. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 05:40, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ample dab run confirms the impression I brought with me from James Comey, that is, of an editor in a hurry. That's fine. I think the Comey article was better off with your additions, even glad to see you started with "cleaning up" since that (same or differently) was what I felt I'd been doing after you. That's fine, too. Just came here to let you know my cleanup of naked urls was only partial; you may prefer more thorough and aesthetic completion. All considered, I would ... but I don't have it in me at the moment. Other stuff more important, you know.

While I'm here: Have you corrected all those disambig. notifications? I shudder to think. Don't you wish there was a step in the Show preview moment that mimicked the Dab Solver step? I do. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 12:13, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: Checked Richard J. Berry just above here, and the Anderson link looked to have been fixed. See that it was not you who fixed it. Ah, well. To each their own. ... Derek Kilmer had not been fixed. I've done it, just delinked "public affairs", no good match. Learned that "check to confirm" gives one a negative result if the problem's been fixed; and it gives the easy, beautifully designed course to correction, if it's not been fixed. I could not take on all the naked urls at RJBerry. Back to ... the world, right? person in hurry. Ever notice the man with shovel after the elephant or horses in parade? I clean up a lot of litter in analog world. Saw another "clean up" from you, in passing here. (Perhaps needless to say, this is also the end for now of checking on your Dab problems.) Nice to make yr acquaintance (conditionally, cautiously). Swliv (talk) 12:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
