Where are your sources? All I see are a couple of recent instances of a reporter or spokesperson getting a name wrong. If you want a source of 'Common Name' then I am a source. I have lived in the East Bay for over 40 years and grew up KNOWING the Macarthur Maze as the Macarthur Maze. I grew up knowing the other interchange as 'The Maze'. EVERYBODY I know calls the Macarthur Maze by it's correct name and calls the Distribution Structure 'the Maze' None of the references in the article, which inaccurately name the interchange date to before 2007. It appears that, as a result of incorrect information on Wikipedia and other sites, some have begun mistaking these interchanges.

Have you perhaps conflated "pejorative" and "perjurious" here? -- Hoary (talk) 05:35, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss your edits at Talk:MacArthur Maze rather than continuing to revert war. --Rschen7754 07:03, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regarding your recent edits: Under Wikipedia's policies regrading articles titles, it is the common name used by most reliable sources, not the official name. If you hear any traffic report by most of the Bay Area news media, they use the phrase "MacArthur Maze" to refer specifically to the 80/580/880 interchange. Thus, that is what the scope of this article should be. What the official name that is used by Caltrans is irrelevant. Any attempt to move it back to the 980/24 interchange will invariably get reverted back, in grounds of the aforementioned Wikipedia policies. Regards.

Sorry, But you are incorrect. NOBODY who lived here called 'The Maze' the Macarthur Maze' prior to the mid 1990's. The recent trend seems to be fueled by articles, such as this wikipedia article.

"I am right and you are wrong" is not a valid response: where's your sources? --Rschen7754 08:32, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sandra Fluke

Your recent edit on Sandra Fluke was in violation of WP:NPOV. Please go to the talk page and discuss such edits.Casprings (talk) 07:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever.. Editing a page to make it neutral and remove bias is apparently a violation of the rules. The article used biased and inaccurate language which was not supported by the sources. It amounted to editorial.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Barack Obama, Sr.. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeilN talk to me 19:56, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The edit was properly sourced. You should check yourself before reverting edits and making false accusations.
