I just want to note that Puerto Ricans are US Citizens which should be noted in the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/Rafael_Trujillo

Almost impossible to make such a note on the page.

{{csref}}

Please can you avoid using this template for countries that do not have a completed link in the template (open it up for editing and you'll see what I mean). For countries like Hungary, when you use it, it doesn't state which work (Hungary: A Country Study etc) is being referred to. As it stands, the refs fail WP:V at first look, as many editors will not be able to check what source is being used.

You can either directly link directly to the relevant page on countrystudies.us or to the pdf version of the book and cite a specific page. In fact these referencing methods are better than using csref, as you can specify a page or section, as opposed to just a whole chapter in csref. You've also not been setting pd=n, which means it appears part of the article is copied wholesale from the books, which isn't the case. Cheers, Number 57 20:52, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Rudolf Hess: Importance of 'annual'

Just for your information, the article on Rudolf Hess cites a source that the cost of running the Spandau Prison with him as its lone prisoner for 20+ years was estimated at 800,000 DM. Intrigued by this low number I looked into it a bit closer. It turns out that the cited cost is annual, but that this information was lost back in 2013 due to this edit: .

Inserting false information (again)

I've just found out that the unsourced claim you added to 2018 Barbadian general election (that Freundel Stuart was the first sitting PM to lose his seat) was untrue (as Harold Bernard St. John lost his seat in the 1986 election).

I've asked multiple times over the years that you source your additions. Please take this as a notice that I will be reverting any unsourced additions you make that appear on my watchlist. Number 57 12:00, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Carowinds

Please do not revert the location of Carowinds to include the South Carolina boundaries. It has been extensively discussed and decided that because both Carowinds and Cedar Fair list the official address in solely Charlotte, this is the appropriate location to list. The park being located in both states is discussed numerous times throughout the article. StatsFreak (talk) 06:58, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

WWJ-TV

The reason why I reverted your edits to WWJ-TV is because they don't fit the context of the article. Sammi Brie and I redid WWJ-TV to be a proper retelling of the station's history with ample citations, including many of the reasons why WGPR-TV struggled to get competitive programming (and some of it was because of the wishes of Dr. William V. Banks and his associates and successors, who were indeed selective about the shows that were available to them). Plus defining CBET as " Windsor, Ontario-based CBC owned-and-operated station CBET (channel 9)" is unnecessary when you only need to just say " —five licensed to Detroit proper and two in Windsor, Ontario— ".

Plus, stuff like " It did not help that it was located near the top of the UHF dial; prior to the advent of cable television, most Detroit-area viewers never tuned past WTVS, the local PBS station on channel 56" is largely unsourceable and I interpreted it as conjecture. It might have happened, but I'd rather take chances and not include it... and prevent the promulgation of a possible urban legend.

If you have Discord, me and Sammi would be interested in talking with you over there. (WP:DISCORD) ;) Nathan Obral • he/him • t • c • 01:45, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Side note: reviewed your edits and noticed you removed the trailing comma in ...WCTV in Tallahassee, Florida, and... This is actually in the Manual of Style: see MOS:GEOCOMMA. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 23:25, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

I am very disappointed to see you making edits with the exact same issues that led to that ANI discussion. By this point you know very well that adding an unsourced paragraph to a GA candidate is going to get reverted. You also know better than to add a citation that doesn't actually support the claim, and I hope you know better than to introduce MOS errors. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:40, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

This is disappointing for me to hear about, @Pi.1415926535. Is there a diff you can point me to? Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:10, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

@Sammi Brie: first edit including unsourced paragraph is here, second edit with claim unsupported by source is here, and MOS error is here.

HangingCurve: re your post on my talk page, the article being a GA candidate is only relevant in that such articles tend to be actively watched and poor edits immediately noticed. Adding unsourced claims is not acceptable on any article. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mvcg66b3r. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, WDAY-TV, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 14:33, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
