Not sure if you saw my question over at the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CFPP-FM|CFPP AfD]] or not. Just wanted to give you a heads up. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #FF7518;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;">Neutralhomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;">Talk</span>]] • 17:51 on February 22, 2018 (UTC)</small> |

Please post new comments at the bottom of this page, not at the top.
09:21:00, 19 June 2017 review of submission by NeenKaler
Hi Bearcat,
Thank you for taking the time to review my first full submission. Apologies for it not being up to scratch - I'm still learning :) I hope you can help with a few queries over why the Userbenchmark submission was declined.
Firstly, you made a comment that many of the sources linked were glancing name references. The ZDnet and Sapphire Nation articles (section 4 of this article is dedicated to UserBenchmark - so not such a small reference) specifically and with reasonable depth, illustrate to me that professional PC users recommend Userbenchmark. I would like to understand better why this doesn't indicate notoriety.
Secondly, I can see that there are many more online software reviews of Userbenchmark, similar to Softpedia e.g. http://userbenchmark.findmysoft.com/. Would you reccommend that I add more of these?
And lastly, personally, I use and love this website and was surprised that there was no Wiki article on the topic yet. I know that a large proportion of the PC Master Race Reddit community also use and write about this site on Reddit. And I'm not alone if the Alexa website rankings are anything to go by: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/userbenchmark.com where Userbenchmark is currently ranked at 4716th globally and 2624th in the US. I was wondering if you recommended any way to incorporate this info into the Wiki article?
Once again, thanks for your time. And I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Bearcat, While I don't think you created this article, I did see where you made a major contribution,so I wanted to let you know.
Deletion of Matt Flynn
Hi Bearcat! I recently requested and was going to make a page for Matt Flynn but just found out that his page was deleted today. He is currently running for Governor of Wisconsin: http://forwardwithflynn.com/ and polling at #1: http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/investigations/daniel-bice/2017/08/08/bice-judge-david-borowski-weighs-possible-challenge-u-s-rep-gwen-moore/514977001/ . Please advise! Thank you!!!
But two other Wisconsin chairs also have pages even though they haven't been in office as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Laning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Tate

Daniel Richler and the New Hegelians
Hi Bearcat, I noticed you sourced the idea that Daniel Richler was a member of a biker gang called the New Hegelians to the Montreal Gazette.[1] I haven't been able to find that article; do you have a copy? The whole thing seems unlikely.--Thomas B (talk) 20:16, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, please, I'd love to see it. (I couldn't find it through my library here in Denmark.)--Thomas B (talk) 21:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Chad McNamara
Hi Bearcat, If you go thru his Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/chadmcnamara/ you can see that he lives with his partner. And in a post from November 4, 2017, He captioned a photo with "@chadmcnamara: My man making me an end table. That's love. #fall #woodworking #saturday #imwatchingfigureskating" and one user commented "@32whatismylife: @chadmcnamara not trying to be mean? are you gay" and Chad replied "@chadmcnamara: @32whatismylife was it 'my man' or figure skating that gave it away." Clearly he's gay. I do my research. Add the category back if you want, I provided with enough, If you want to go thru his account be my guess. Also in a more recent post from January 2, 2018, He caption a photo with "@chadmcnamara: Happy 2018 from our family to yours. Now get me to a beach." The photo pictures Chad with his partner and their 2 dogs.
External Links
I am trying to follow the format used by many band members and many bands to post links to articles or interviews that feature them. If not "External Links" -- where would you place this link for interested parties to find their way to these feature interviews?
Thanks in advance -- still new to Wiki editing (although I am a long time user/supporter of Wikipedia) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Majoza416 (talk • contribs) 17:50, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Majoza416, if you're talking about links to the band itself, I would put them in the "External links" section and use {{official website}}. If you want to link to interviews and other information that might be worth including (but don't have any inline section to add them to) I've seen articles with a "Further reading" section (a lvl 3/=== header) that would then be nested under the References section (so it would be ==References== and ===Further reading===). If the addition of that content is controversial, it's best to discuss it further on the article's talk page. Primefac (talk) 17:55, 23 January 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
OK -- but these are audio interviews, not further "reading" -- would that apply? Furthermore -- if interesting, pertinent information gleaned from the interview were included in the body of the article, and then referenced to the interview itself, would that be more appropriate. I do think that the people reading these articles (many of them stubs) will find the interviews useful, and many of them would want to hear them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Majoza416 (talk • contribs) 17:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- Interviews really aren't the best source of information out there, mainly because they're not fact-checked by anyone. People can claim just about anything in an interview, and while it's likely they're not all-out lying, they could be stretching the truth, misremembering, etc (I've seen interviews where the person gave the wrong year for when an event happened). Interviews should really only be used for uncontroversial things (birthdays, company headquarter locations, etc). Primefac (talk) 18:28, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Draft categories
Could you restore those categories and then comment them out instead? Abyssal (talk) 16:51, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
- The Alabama categories are placeholders that will be corrected to the subject of the article title with a bot. Abyssal (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Berlin
Hi Bearcat. Hope you're well. Most of the films have been named for the 68th Berlin International Film Festival and I've started to create stubs for most of them. Do you know which ones would come in scope for the List of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender-related films of 2018? Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

CKOO-FM Move Discussion
Thanks for the "head's up" that pages being the subject of a "move" request should have the "_(defunct)" modifier added to them, and not the "_(old)" one that I used for CKOO-FM_(Old). I noticed that you didn't bother renaming that one, guessing that's just because it's the subject of a deletion request. I didn't realize that stations that never make it on the air don't get a Wikipedia page (perhaps just a mention as part of its radio station owner's page, at best?). Sorry about moving the old CKOO-FM page at first as part of my "move request" for CJUI-FM but I'm pleased to see you've supported my "move request". Sounds like the original CKOO-FM page just slipped through the cracks, eh? --Doug Mehus (talk) 03:41, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Upcoming Wiki Edit-a-thon
Hi Bearcat, I'm organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Canadian Writers' Summit in Toronto in June 2018 with some help from Art+Feminism. I was wondering if you might be interested in helping out since you're such an expert user and are into the CanLit scene. For example, I'm now putting together a list of stubs/missing articles for our workshop participants to start with, and would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Please let me know if you would be interested in helping out in any way. Thanks! Kaparica (talk) 20:31, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

bumf?
i agree with the sentiment here, but i am curious - what is a "bumf"? Jytdog (talk) 20:56, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Odd
This, which you have worked on in the early days, looks strange, don't you think? A lot of it is simply a letter from an official. --2604:2000:E016:A700:E847:240F:9BE:AC5B (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
CBC Radio 2 vs. CBC Music
Hi Bearcat, my apologies for jumping the gun on the changes that we need for our CBC pages -
Attached below is our official FAQ regarding the name change.
Would it be possible to change the name of the categories:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CBC_Radio_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CBC_Radio_2_programs to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CBC_Music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CBC_Music_programs
And merge these two pages:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Radio_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Music
Please let me know, I also have a new logo that needs to be updated on the CBC Music page.
Please let me know if I need to attach a reference to each of the frequency pages, as I will need to make those changes again once the above updates are complete.
Thank you!

I want a new discussion for Marie K. Newman.
She founded and runs a NATIONAL nonprofit organization and authored a book on the subject of bullying before announcing her run for Congress. Her candidacy has attracted NATIONAL attention, and was even covered by a UK newspaper. On what planet does that constitute non-notability? I'm seeing either a lack of common sense here or political bias. --MopTop (talk) 17:20, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
