Visit the Teahouse We hope to see you there! Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 16:03, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

December 2018

Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Elk Grove High School (Elk Grove Village, Illinois), 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. We don't consider www.wikia.com a reliable source because it's content, like Misplaced Pages, is contributed by users. In addition, the source says she grew up in Elk Grove. It does not say she attended Elk Grove High School. Gab4gab (talk) 19:07, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Nolan. I noticed you have been adding some citations to articles where they have been requested. That is great news! Many of your sources are solid: book-based or reputable news outlets. Others are not so much: IMDb is not a RS for biographical information (see WP:RS/IMDb). Also, "madmonarchs.guusbeltman.nl" appears to be run by one guy, and has no "reputation for fact-checking or editorial oversight" per WP:RS. So I would ask you to use caution as you continue to add good sources. Thank you! Elizium23 (talk) 04:18, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Again... revolvy.com is actually a Misplaced Pages mirror! There is no way you can use this as a reliable secondary source. Consider yourself formally warned three times now. Elizium23 (talk) 05:09, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Hernán Cortés

Why the addition of "see also"s? You added Cuernavaca, Morelos, Palace of Cortés, Tenochtilán. I can see maybe adding the last (he did conquer and destroy that city - but it's already linked in the text referencing that), but the first three? He happened to live in Cuernavaca, Morelos for a while. That doesn't mean we need a "See also" entry for those locations. That's like saying an article about GW Bush needs a "see also" for Texas, which is pretty absurd.

A "See Also" section should be articles which have notable chunks of information on the subject of this article, not already covered in this article. Not simply be a laundry list of things the article subject touched on. Tarl N. (discuss) 05:03, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

I would say he didn't simply live in Cuernavaca for a while--it was the center of his operation after he was turned down for Viceroy. He built two haciendas in the city (including the first sugar mill in Nueva Espana), what is said to be the first church on the continent, and the first civil building (Palace of Cortes) in Nueva Espana--which is where his wife lived and his legitimate children were born and lived until adulthood.

Battles in Cuauhnahuac (Cuernavaca) and Huaxtepex (Oaxtepec), both in Morelos, were key to the conquest of Tenochtitlan.

Since Tenochtitlan is referenced elsewhere, I'll remove it from the "See also" list; I'll also remove the Cuernavaca and Morelos references since they I can see your point about things that are touched upon in the article. However, the palace does seem to be important to the story of Cortes, and the article gives a fairly extensive description of why, when, and how it was built.Michael E Nolan (talk) 05:46, 4 January 2019 (UTC)Michael E Nolan

John Steinbeck

Hello, Michael E Nolan,

The Misplaced Pages article on John Steinbeck is on my watchlist, so I noticed your recent edits. Since you have further edited the ariticle, I am sure you have noticed mine. You are an enthuastic and productive Misplaced Pages editor; I hope you will enjoy your time here.

I left a summary for each recent edit I made. Perhaps I should explain further. Reliable sources are the most important aspect of a Misplaced Pages article. John Steinbeck is an important American author and a Nobel Laureate for Literature. Scholarly Biographies exist. These should be the first sources to check. Scholarly journals are also reliable sources. Please read the Misplaced Pages policy on verifiability and the guideline on reliable sources. Newspaper and television reports can also be reliable sources, as long as the organizations have a reputation for rigorous fact-checking. Blogs, unless by a recognized subject expert are not reliable sources; neither are student study guides.

Once a reliable source is found, use the Misplaced Pages guidelne WP:Citing sources for the proper way to build an in-line citation. There are several systems of citation in use in Wikipeda; each is equally valid, but the style should be consistent within an article.

If you have further questions, I will be happy to help. You may reply here. Just place a colon on the line after my signature and begin typing (the colon as a first character on a line forces an indent—this keeps a conversation on track). I will reply using two colons to indent further.

Teahouse query

Hi there, just saw your post at the teahouse- does this help for your 404 ? https://web.archive.org/web/20170104171150/http://www.cuernavaca.gob.mx/turismo/?page_id=2621 - The wayback machine had an older version cached. BTW, it would be better to rewrite that section of your article; the wording appears to be a direct WP:COPYPASTE of the google translated version of this one, and that could get your article deleted; Misplaced Pages is very strict about copyvio, and it extends to translated versions too. Curdle (talk) 22:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I believe the article you linked to is an earlier version of what I wrote since it is actually dated 2013-2015, and one point in particular is different. I will rewrite the parts that may be seen as plagiarism.Michael E Nolan (talk) 15:41, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Michael E Nolan

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to Covington Catholic High School. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. MPS1992 (talk) 15:57, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

1960 in mexico moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, 1960 in mexico, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Misplaced Pages). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Misplaced Pages's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Famousbirthdays.com as a source

Hi Michael E Nolan. I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for biographical information in 1960. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Misplaced Pages:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

2019 Dayton shooting

Please pay attention to the notices displayed to you when you edit an article. You just violated a Discretionary Sanction notice at this article. See its Talk page and Template:Editnotices/Page/2019 Dayton shooting. General Ization 20:50, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

• What unreliable source are you talking about? CNN? Huffington Post?Michael E Nolan (talk) 20:58, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

• I'm not talking about sources, I'm talking about Template:Editnotices/Page/2019 El Paso shooting which I have applied to the article. El_C 21:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2019 El Paso shooting, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. General Ization 20:55, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

If by your comment above you are referring to this warning, you cited no source for your addition of an alias for the shooter. You must do so. General Ization 21:00, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Misplaced Pages page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Misplaced Pages policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. . I'm not adding the further diffs. I hope it's clear enough. --Ronz (talk) 16:39, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

• In what way is adding a birthdate inflammatory? Two of the citations you complain about were from one of the most prestigious newspapers in Mexico?Michael E Nolan (talk) 22:32, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

See WP:DOB

You changed the date of birth by choosing an unreliable source over an apparently reliable one .

I didn't indicate any problems with newspapers, but then there were so very many problems that maybe I made a mistake somewhere in either identifying a proper diff of your using an unreliable source, or reverting such edits. If you'll point them out, I'm happy to look them over.

Meanwhile, if you're uncertain about the reliability of a source, don't use it. You can check Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Perennial sources for frequently discussed sources, search Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources/Noticeboard for discussions on many other sources, or ask at the noticeboard. --Ronz (talk) 02:10, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I will check that list. However, the whole idea of reliable vs. unreliable sources is highly subject. One would expect the White House to be reliable, yet Donald Trump has been accused of telling over 10,000 lies since he was elected. The Pentagon, which should be reliable, led the US. into wars in 1964 and 2003 based on what they knew were lies. On the other hand, Donald Trump insists that neither the NY Times, Washington Post, NBC, or CNN is reliable--he regularly calls them fake news.

WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources". This isn't a matter of debate. --Ronz (talk) 16:01, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
