The Daily Caller
Hi, I didn't understand that the Daily Caller was not considered a reliable or verifiable source, and THAT was the reason I kept getting reverted. I actually agree with that assessment. But did not understand. So I was being reverted for that reason? Thanks! Sorry, new to much of this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathradgenations (talk • contribs)
- @Cathradgenations: I'm not sure why the previous editors reverted, but I reverted because at first you didn't have a source. And then, when you added a source, it was an unreliable source. Also, when other editors are asking you to do things on your talk page, you should try to listen to their advice, especially since you say you are new. For example you don't follow talk page etiquette by signing your talk page messages per WP:TALK and WP:SIGNHERE. Since you are new, I'm going to go ahead and leave a welcome message/template on your talk page. It would really be a good idea for you to read it so you won't have as many problems in the future with the more experienced editors reverting your stuff. Bait30 23:09, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, understood. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathradgenations (talk • contribs)
- @Cathradgenations: I'm not sure you actually are understanding though. You've been asked before to WP:INDENT and I literally just told you that signing talk page messages is a guideline and you still didn't do it. Bait30 23:15, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Dell Loy Hansen
Hi, I accepted your review as a QPQ because you did a review. Often other editors come by afterwards to question the approval and bring up new issues, and often you will see several editors doing reviews and then being overridden by other editors. Each editor can still claim it as a QPQ because they did a review.
Now, are you asking me to check the review itself, or just its eligibility as a QPQ? Yoninah (talk) 13:05, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Well I was asking to check the review itself because I thought it would have an effect on me being able to claim it as a QPQ. Now I know it’s not the case, my request is moot. Thanks! Bait30 16:11, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Specifico
Thank you for your messages. But I think I would rather be left alone completely at this point. If you have an issue with an edit, I of course, am happy for anyone to weigh in on the comments for the article page, but please no longer contact me directly under any circumstances. I am not an expert at all of Misplaced Pages's rules, n so not always sure I am indenting correctly or commenting in the right venue.
That said, I don't wish to get any more messages from you nor your friend SPECIFICO again, except if it relates to an edit and nothing else, and that communication be left on the article's comment page, instead of a DM to me.
I do not mean to disparage anyone, but some of Specifico's behavior has upset me, and I would hope since I don't edit on pages he is normally interested in. I have noticed that he has edited pages he has never edited before, except for the fact that I have contributed or edited that page. And that he then goes to that page for the very firs time to revert everything I have contributed, even though many of my edits are mundane, and despite the fact that I have made thousands of edits, have never had someone act this manner.
As to formally complaining, that is my right and choice, and I don't think it is right that people keep "warning" me not to. That is intimidating.
As to disparagement, it is not a disparagement for someone like myself to say they are concerned about someones behavior towards them. And it is not disparagement to simply quote Misplaced Pages's own formal findings about SPECIFICO acting inappropriately to other women on more than one occasion. I've reiterated Misplaced Pages's findings in their bans of SPECIFICO, word for word, exactly what they said, just below. If that is disparagement, maybe he and his friends should take it up with Misplaced Pages... which they already did, although Misplaced Pages ruled against him.
This is what Misplaced Pages's administrators found, THEIR EXACT WORDS: 1. No evidence has been presented that Carol is hounding Specifico. It looks like she wants to disengage from the interactions with Specifico but can't do it because Specifico keeps initiating contact. In the unlikely case that Carol starts hounding or baiting Specifico, the interaction should be extended to her as well. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 20:46, 12 September 2014 (UTC) "SPECIFICO continues to WikiHound Carolmooredc.
2. Here is the latest example. Carolmooredc has never edited our article on September 11 attacks until now. SPECIFICO has never edited this article before until now. Despite these two editors having never edited this article before, after Carolmooredc makes her first edit on 20:27, September 10, 2014, SPECIFICO show up hours later,12:13, September 11, 2014 to complain about Carolmooredc's edit and then subsequently reverts Carolmooredc's edit.18:13, September 11, 2014. At this point, like the others I simply want to go about my business without being molested further.Cathradgenations (talk) 00:28, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
Please do not contact me again, and please do not have SPECIFICO bother me again. If someone disagrees with an edit, they can always post on the comments page of the article. In that I don't edit on pages SPECIFICO does, I would hope he stops bothering me. He has edited numerous pages for the very first time ever-- only after I have edited them. That is the same type of behavior that Misplaced Pages formally concluded that in the past he continued towards another woman even though the administrators concluded "she wants to disengage from... Speicifco" and that only "Specifico keeps initiating contact."
Again, if either you or him continue to bother me I will formally complain. Leave me alone now, all is good. There the matter rests. Please, no more messages from Specifico or anyone associated with him. And not indenting properly or signing right is not a reason that you can ban someone from Misplaced Pages. Threats like that are inappropriate as well.Cathradgenations (talk) 03:36, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
