Could you explain the revert of Haystack (software)?

I admit that I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles, but I couldn't find an explanation for the reversion of my recent changes to the Haystack article.

If I understand Wikipedia:Reverting correctly, I think that my changes were a good-faith attempt to update the article to reflect notable events which have been widely reported in Newsweek, The Guardian, Slate and Wired. I think I cited them correctly.

If you could explain what the problem was with my edits, I'd be willing to improve them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.191.200.223 (talk) 07:45, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Adding a Criticism was unnecessary as more NPOV was could have been done The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 19:01, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Tea party tag

The mid-term elections section is being deliberately put in list format for ease of reading and because there is no need for additional commentary. The section is designed to just show the outcomes.Malke 2010 (talk) 18:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

makes sense doing a self revert. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 19:14, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Saw it. Thanks.Malke 2010 (talk) 06:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

2010 Stewart-Colbert Rallies merge

Hey, thanks for doing the merge; it probably needed to be done but I wasn't feeling WP:BOLD enough to pull the trigger :-) It would be nice if you could expand the "origins" section with some of the content from the old Keep Fear Alive page--I probably won't have time to get to it for at least a couple days. (see my comment at Talk:2010 Stewart-Colbert Rallies). Thanks, MildlyMad^T_C 18:26, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Why did you speedy close this AFD? Also, if you want to get rid of it, you can probably tag it with {{db-author}}. Mind if I do that? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 03:59, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

No delete it, I saw obvious spam and sent it to AFD only to find that it was the third such AFD.The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 12:44, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Beena Sarwar

I have removed the prod you placed on Beena Sarwar, as the article was undeleted on 7 September 2010 and therefore cannot be deleted via prod. Compliance with policy/procedure is the only reason I did this; I have no prejudice to opening an AfD. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Rick Ross (consultant)

You suggested we should discuss changes I've made here, rather than there. However, I don't really have anything to say - it sounds like an article I'd best keep away from. Best wishes Pol098 (talk) 18:47, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

oops I didnt mean here but on the article talk page The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 18:49, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I am currently on Lexis Nexus currently formating some citations, CIrt has takes seriously his charge to protect the article after the AFD and bit you. He probably should have taken a less aggressive stance but after WP:ARBSCI its hard to blame him. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 19:05, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't feel particularly bitten (or that I made a Wikipedia mistake as such - in an uncontroversial article my edits would have been appropriate), no problem. Have responded on article's talk page. Pol098 (talk) 19:18, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Inviting Will Beback is guaranteed to produce the following result: because Rick Ross is a critic of Lyndon LaRouche, Will Beback will advise a course of action that will make the Rick Ross bio as flattering as possible, and remove any information that would call his expertise into question.

Re:Confused

In addition to answering your question at the Help Desk, I thought I might let you in on how I found the answer. I first went to the {{Notability}} template and hit the "What links here" link. I pulled up one of the articles at random and looked at the categories. Because I have "hidden categories" turned on, I saw the "Articles lacking notability since September 2010" category or whatever it was. I went there and then there was a link to the parent cat.

If you don't have hidden categories turned on, you can do that in your preferences under the Appearance tab. Dismas|^(talk) 23:44, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

I figured it was something like that. I just remembered finding goofing off. SO when the organized me tried to find it was nowhere to found The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
