[edit] Elvis article

Hello Jaye9. Thanks for your question. Yes, 141 put the Sight and Sound quote in the article. I don't think it is good or appropriate, but 141 has thwarted all attempts to remove it. It's really good that you can check out things like this. Please feel free to ask me anything; I may want your help too! Rikstar (talk) 17:34, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

The Arbcom case has been filed. [1] Steve Pastor (talk) 16:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jaye9. I posted a reply to your recent Jailhouse Rock comments. I must apologise too, for slightly editing a few gaps and things here and there; it was bit tricky to read in my browser, and I do think people should get the point you were making because all contributions are important in editing what is in some ways a very problematic article. Best wishes. Rikstar (talk) 10:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Jaye9. Do you have the source details for the Marty Lacker comment about the London visit? This would be very useful to prevent people doubting what you have written. I will then delete the stuff about the London visit from the article because the Lacker quote is evidence that the story is 'bullshit'. Rikstar (talk) 09:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
You're doing fine, J. It's all coming together. I've added a link to EIN. I will soon delete the London visit bit. Rikstar (talk) 11:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Would love to help, and appreciate your help in improving the main article. The articles you refer to are not well known or easily available - which makes me wonder how/why they could or should be relevant in a general, encyclopedic article about Elvis. My source material is limited to other, well-known (but up-to-date) works. Bear in mind that other parties can easily see and get involved soon or later with our discussion/concerns. I'm sure 141 appreciates (and it's a fact, as far as I'm concerned) that we only have the best intentions i.e improving the main article to achieve Featured Article status. There may well be accusations of fan bias, but we should, unfortunately, get used to that. Rikstar (talk) 19:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Your "Gay Writer..." is a good addition. I like the "overtly heterosexual" reference, for obvious reasons. Keep up the good work! Much appreciate you staying with this article. Rikstar (talk) 18:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get to see your recent posts sooner. 141 has now quoted them in his response of May 18, so it would not be right to change them. Rikstar (talk) 00:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Jay9, I think we need to work together on what you think should be added or removed from the main Elvis article. You're spending hours responding to 141 just in the talk pages and I don't want you to end up angry or frustrated. Try not to spend hours responding to him if it won't make much, if any difference, to the main article. 141 seems to get pleasure from 'proving' his point at others' expense, in this and other articles. Try to keep any personal comments (compliments or otherwise) about other editors out of the talk pages - there are plenty already from others, which all (rightly, in my view) reflect how we feel about some of 141's contributions. Your time is precious. You've got good source material which may be very useful. We need to stick to the facts and reliable sources. The problem is that responding to an edit which 141 stubbornly refuses to be deleted by adding another edit that redresses the balance means the article may grow to rather needless lengths, but don't worry about that now. Don't forget 141 can read everything, including what you write here, and he will use that against you, me and anyone else if he wants to. He will of course make accusations that he knows will annoy you.
I've got little time lately and a few connections problems since Microsoft's SP3 update, but I'll do what I can. I do think we can accept that Presley was not a 'Casanova' i.e. had actual sex with hundreds of women, but what do you think about that? Rikstar (talk) 14:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Citing

Are you referring to citations, like this?[1] See WP:CITE for more information with those, and if you need any help I can help you set them up as I'm fairly good with them. Also, to edit under another user's comments from before, just click the "edit" button to the right of the screen, over the section header; this will let you edit that section alone. Hope that helps, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! 22:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I sympathize with your struggle to learn how to edit - I'm still learning! I have found it useful to click on 'edit this page' whenever I see something I like or want to copy. That way you often see exactly which keys a user has pressed to achieve a particular effect. It would be good for you to take the time to study the wiki help pages, etc. Many users are also very helpful and patient when you ask for advice. I am hoping to help edit the Elvis article again, but it will depend on who else is involved. Editing has been very difficult because of one particular user, so I just keep an eye on things for now.

[edit] Signing in

Hey! Hmm, that's strange; do you mean your computer signed you out by itself? In that case, your internet connection may have reset itself while you were looking at a page, and Wikipedia automatically signed you out because you don't have the "keep me signed in" button checked (it's on the log in screen). Otherwise, I'm not sure. I'll go sign your comment, though. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! 13:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I'm just really happy I could help! Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! 04:25, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
