Hello, I'm
Rdp060707. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of
your recent contributions—specifically
this edit to
Diep.io—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the
Help desk. Thanks. ----

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to
Black Lives Matter. Doing so violates Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.

- Please explain to me how adding the name of the officer is adding my own point of view? It is adding more context and correct information to the already provided information. BBG On YT ( talk) 18:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

- The fact that Harry Dunn is black is the whole point of that bit. Don't remove "African-American" as a descriptor.

- That the source used has
Dunn stating, "I got called a [N-word] a couple dozen times today" is good enough sourcing to describe him as African America.

- Being called the "N-Word" does not mean that you're black. Anyone can be called the "N-Word". If you have ever played any game with voice chat, you would understand what I'm saying. He was not described by the news agency as being black. As I said before, provide a source for him being black or African American. Wikipedia is not for assumptions of someone's race. It is for factual information. Do not add back "African American" or "Black" until you provide a source for it.

- Yours is an indefensible stance, seeing as how Dunn's autobiography goes deep into his feelings about his African American heritage, and about how Blacks like himself are treated in the US. "Our government has an even greater special significance for some of us. For African Americans, our belief in its promise has been almost like a religion. We needed to believe." Standing My Ground, page 13.

- Good. Now use that source in the article to show that he is African American. BBG On YT ( talk) 23:14, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Looks like you already did. Good. My point was not him being African American or black. My point was you not using correct sources to show that he was. Him being African American is a big part in that and should be sourced. You cannot just use assumption without any context. I suggest you add a bit more about his story to further prove your point.

Please do not add
original research or
novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to
Mansa Musa. Please cite a
reliable source for all of your contributions. That celebritynetworth.com "is the first instance of mass popularization of this theory" needs a source. You cannot cite the celebritynetworth.com page itself as evidence for it, nor an NPR story that merely mentions the website's claim with no wider context.

- How should I go about explaining that the Mansa Musa information is false? Should it just get removed instead? The information and sources provided are not viable for Mansa Musa being the "richest man" in the world. It is a completely false story with all sources leading back to the celebritynetworth.com source (which is false on so many levels).

- The article already has a full section about the questionable modern claims of his riches at
Mansa Musa#Wealth, and the article lead clearly says
but the extent of his actual wealth is not known with any certainty
. - If a reliable source has written about how the wealth claim definitely originates from celebritynetworth.com, then by all means cite that source.
- If it's your own personal theory, though, it's not appropriate for Wikipedia. It may be that the claim originates from some other source and celebritynetworth.com happened to quote it along the way. Belbury ( talk) 09:12, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
