A page you started (1996 Kamianske tram accident) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating 1996 Kamianske tram accident, Undescribed!

Misplaced Pages editor NearEMPTiness just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

This is a very informative article. For me, it looked as if the brakes had only failed at the bottom of the hill, although I assume that the break failure had already occured before, resulting in the excessive speed.

To reply, leave a comment on NearEMPTiness's talk page.

February 2018

Information icon Hello, I'm Toddst1. I noticed that you made a change to an article, August 25, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The statistics you added to that DOY page conflict with those in the article about the hurricane. Toddst1 (talk) 15:20, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm very sorry that you've been templated by this user. You've been around here almost as long as he has, so you've certainly earned the right to be spoken to politely and personally rather than via a patronising template. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:35, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Infobox in Hurricane Harvey says "Fatalities 69 direct, 39 indirect". Your unsourced unsourced edit to September 10 contradicts that saying 146 fatalities. Please fix this contradiction since you've proceeded to edit war on it.
Beyond that, you're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. Toddst1 (talk) 15:58, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
For Harvey on August 25th, 69+39 = 108. For Irma on September 10, 66+80 = 146. Besides this, I don't see why WP:V is only applicable to additions, but not old entries. Why should old entries remain unsourced, but new entries require a source? Also, as stated by User:The Rambling Man, the patronizing isn't appreciated as I have earned my right to be spoken to politely. Cheers Undescribed (talk) 16:11, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
I agree that it's completely hypocritical to start removing items and templating experienced editors while leaving every single other entry in every single article unreferenced, and simply add empty References sections. No use, no help, not beneficial to our readers, and damaging to our editors. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Terrorism in the United States

As you can see in my edit summary, the article is about terrorism by non-state actors, and Sand Creek was a military operation. I love Peter La Farge's song "The Crimson Parson" by the way. Anyway, I see more like it and I've raised the issue of removing those at the talk page. Doug Weller talk 10:56, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Mass shootings in the United States

In your reversion of my edit ,you said "There's nothing wrong with ranking."

I agree. Nothing wrong at all. If you have a reliable source for it.

This has already been discussed at length on the talk page, with no one even suggesting they have a reliable source.

Please self-revert. Thanks. Cinteotl (talk) 10:33, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
