Hi, I take issue with this edit, whose edit summary included "Removed unsourced cat tag; information is on Wiliam's webpage." It is not sufficient for a fact to be confirmed on a website if that website is cited to confirm the fact. You should not have removed the tag without resolving the problem. Wikipedia:Categorization#Articles says that categories should be used only for defining characteristics. This guideline is often ignored, but if a fact is insufficiently important to mention in an article then it is too insignificant to use for categorisation. I have resolved the problem by adding a paragraph on Wiliam's education, sourced to his webpage. Verbcatcher ( talk) 00:31, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the information! There is a newspaper article saying the last Adak district student left in 1994 as the base closed, though the district itself didn't close until 1996. - If some article says directly that the closure killed the district, that would be lovely.
I went ahead and archived my 2015 messages. Yes, I've been a bad boy and neglected my archiving :( WhisperToMe ( talk) 22:13, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Why are you putting a MEXICAN place into a UNTED STATES box? Are there any secret plans i do not know? Royalrec ( talk) 09:25, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
Heh, Royalrec, if there are any secret plans I think they'd be the other way round and involve a large wall. I reverted several of your changes to the Tijuana Municipality navbox, as it wasn't working; there's no such thing as a MEX county navigation box, so it results in a red link and no navbox. Then I removed the words "United States" which appeared in earlier revisions and changed the format so it once again displayed the boroughs and cities. If somehow I missed a mention of the US in the current version, please point it out so I can fix it. Cheers, BlackcurrantTea ( talk) 10:14, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Dear Sir,
I am constantly editing the page Alavi Bohras. To be frank I am not fully acquainted with the editing rules. And it is difficult to remember it all the times. I thank you for cleaning up the matter.

Dear BlackcurrantTea , i just want to answer about your question about multiple account. No i have only 1 account as under my name. but the images i gave away could come from any source such as my brother my mom my dad my friend or person who request me to photograph something they want to and i am agreed to photograph for them but under my copyright and usage term. if they use for education and knowledge it ok but when ever they use it for commercial use without my permission or release for image then that would be case of next step of law. i also gave away a lot of thing not just pictures for others. So dont give a conclusion until you get an answer about what you have question about me from me. if there are any other question please feel free to do so. have a good day. -- Trisorn Triboon ( talk) 09:45, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, BlackcurrantTea. Thank you for your message on my talk page.
I am aware of the policy on verifiability, and my changes to serious articles almost always include a reference. I admit that I was a tad idle in not including a reference on Ulster Protestants. I felt that it was wrong that the Methodists were not mentioned in the main body of the article and that, given that the infobox did mention Methodists, my edit was simply bringing alignment. I should really have done some searching on Google Books to find some reference to how Methodism came to Northern Ireland.
With the edits to Fleabag and Johnny B Goode, it is worth pointing out that most articles on popular culture do not have many references. Wikipedia has an article on virtually every TV series, radio series, band and film - and most of these articles are light on references. This is also true of many of the articles on hobbies; for example, there is a lengthy article on knitting with hardly any references and not even a warning tag to say that the article needs more references. I've been on Wikipedia for many years and this just seems like an established custom now. No one seems to be making any effort to police those articles for verifiability.
Part of the issue is that reliable sources (as usually defined on the serious articles in Wikipedia) do not normally discuss subjects such as TV series or knitting. If administrators were to be strict in enforcing the line "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it", a lot of articles would have to be deleted entirely.
I hope that you understand me here. I understand the importance of verifiability as a policy on Wikipedia, but I was just following a long-standing custom that this policy is not enforced much on the less serious subjects. Best wishes Epa101 ( talk) 07:41, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

I see you recently accepted a pending change to March 8 that did not include a direct source.
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 edit notice on that page, the content guideline and/or the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. All new additions without references are now being either reverted on-sight or in some cases where the patroller is especially motivated, immediately sourced. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.
All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you and please keep up your good work!

The neutral part of that, in an encyclopedic tone, could be "The news spread quickly." Not "like a wild fire", and not "bringing joy and happiness to everyone". If the source mentions particular celebrations, you might write something like, "According to (author's name), in (city name), 5,000 people celebrated with feasts lasting three days", making it clear where the information comes from.It quick spread everywhere like a wild fire, bringing joy and happiness to everyone.
Try to sound calm and unemotional, not like you want to convince readers of anything. You're telling them what these books say about the subject, that's all.
I hope this makes things clearer for you. Writing about religion and spiritual matters can be tricky, and it's not an area of expertise for me. People at WikiProject Religion and WikiProject Buddhism may be able to help you. You might also want to request copy editing for your writing; the Guild of Copy Editors is the place for that.
