Revision as of 17:09, 23 July 2018

If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Sorry what? Where? I'm confused. Why an only warning? unsigned comment by AmberPétursson 14 July 2018

Hi, I am sorry you are currently blocked. I saw your first edit on your user talk which was offensive ,then I saw you make a big change to an important article but you didn't cite it, I saw some other edits which 5 albert square cited in your unblock request. Together I thought you weren't there but I had doubts so I let other editors/admins deal with it. Thank you for your commentsJC7V7DC5768 (talk) 20:57, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Eric Foster White

Hi there! I noticed you removed the notability tag on the article Eric Foster White. I disagree that enough improvements have been made to justify the removal of the tag. Instead of re-adding it, and causing an edit war, I wanted to check with you to get a better idea of how this person satisfies WP:NMUSIC. Thanks! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 16:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bob Glauber, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bill Walsh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

July 19

My edit was not a test. 2604:6000:CC80:EB00:79E5:3AD7:BDA6:F78 (talk) 18:42, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Constructive Edits

Explain to me why they are not constructive edits. I am trying to include a reference to the importance of Seth to the religious tradition of Mandaeanism which only has one other mention elsewhere. How is it not constructive? 2604:6000:CC80:EB00:79E5:3AD7:BDA6:F78 (talk) 18:48, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Exact edits you made today were reverted by an administrator just a few days ago (another ip made the same edits). So obviously if he thinks they are unconstructive they are. If you want to make the edits, phrase it better and get a good source. JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 18:51, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Coquille River Falls location

Hi, my correction on the location of Coquille River Falls was not a mistake. Coquille River Falls is at the confluence of Drowned Out Creek and Sru Creek. Squaw Creek was renamed to Sru Creek (meaning grandmother in Oregon Dene), presumably because "Squaw" is a racist epitaph.

Well you didn't provide a source ,Misplaced Pages requires sources. Find a source for the info and add it. thank you JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 05:22, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

Making reports at WP:COIN

Thank you for your interest in Conflict of interest matters. However, your two recent posts at the noticeboard are not very helpful for a couple of reasons.

1. You have not included links to the articles you are talking about, making it more difficult for other editors to find them, nor have you linked the relevant editors, as instructed when you click the "Create Discussion" button at the top of the page
2. At the top of the noticeboard, it is made clear that this noticeboard should be used after other avenues of discussion have been attempted, which you have not done. It is far better to leave a note on the user's talk page or on the article talk page to raise your concern and engage them in discussion before reporting them. You can use the Template:Uw-coi on an editor's talk page as a simple way to start
3. It is also made clear on the noticeboard, in red no less, that you are required to notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion.

Please take some time to understand how the noticeboard works before adding to it. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 05:35, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, I will reread the guidelines for the noticeboard and follow the advice above. Thank you. JC7V7DC5768 (talk) 05:37, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
