Spacing comments in articles
If you've come here to inquire about the spacing comments I've added to certain articles, please see User:Ed Fitzgerald/spacing for an explanation of their purpose. Thanks. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 20:12, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
James Cagney
Hi there! I seem to have forgotten to ask you for your opinion, bad me! Anyway, I've pretty much done the James Cagney article, so i'd really appreciate your opinion. I know the lead needs quite a bit of work, if not a complete rewrite, but at least the content is there to base it on now! So comments gratefully received, either on my talk page, or preferably, the article's talk page! Cheers, and Happy New Year :) --Ged UK (talk) 20:38, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
- I've been watching, with approval and great respect, what you've been doing with the article as you've been working, so I know that it's in good shape. I will take a look at it in toto sometime this weekend, and post whatever comments I may have. Thank you for asking, I appreciate it. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 01:54, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
IP Editors
For what it's worth, I agree with you. I know that part of the spirit and culture of Misplaced Pages are wrapped up in the concept of "anyone can edit". But at the same time, consider the huge amount of time that is soaked up every day in repetitive tasks that would not be required (or at least not as badly) if everyone had to have an email verified account to edit Misplaced Pages. I for one, would love to be able to find time to work on the article that has sat and gathered dust in my sandbox for more than a year now while I spend day in and day out cleaning up vandalism and blocking it's offenders.

- Yes, it takes up so much of my time just going through my watchlist for vandalism etc., that I haven't done any substantive work on an article for months -- and that's the part I enjoy, and with which I think I can make a real contribution to the project.
Personally, I don't think the requirement of registering is such an onerous burden that it contradicts the "anyone can edit" trope. People are used to registering for all sorts of sites, it goes with the territory for being online these days. Perhaps one day, the lingering remnants of libertarian culture will loosen up enough to allow this to happen here, but I'm not holding my breath. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 09:07, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- I know I'm not your favorite guy in the world, but I'm with you on that. I also agree that the indignant IP from earlier has spent a lot of time playing the martyr, and (even though I think his edits were valid) for all the time he's spent moaning about being put-upon, he may as well have registered an account.

Discussion
I just wanted to check to make sure that you were aware of this discussion which I started, as you have been involved in previous discussions on the subject. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 02:17, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Guest: I've been somewhat peripherally aware of the conversation going on, but haven't delved into it at all. I start rehearsal for a new project tomorrow, and have been doing mostly mechanical editing lately as I prep for it, rather than anything requiring any brain power. I hope that in a day or so, I'll be able to contribute something. Thanks very much for the notice. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 05:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Ida Lupino
Your reversion of my edit without giving valid rationale was very disappointing. Do you have ownership of this article? Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 05:22, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Take it to the talk page, not here. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 05:34, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- I commented here on your page about an action you took, not content. I also asked a question about you. Your evasion is noted. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 08:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- No evasion. Explanation on the article talk page, where it belongs. Goodbye. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 20:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
