Hello, a few weeks ago I added a section to the J&J page in regards to the impact they are having on climate change. You removed this with the note "addition of essay-written section that needs work/discussion before mainspace". I was wondering if you could explain what exactly you would like me to change. I would also like to inform you that this contribution is part of a college class I am taking. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Frog231 ( talk) 22:21, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello, in the past few days you've undone multiple WP:GOODFAITH edits on the Nikki Haley page. I am leaving a note on your talk page because I'm wondering why you've done this. Imo this discussion should be happening on the Nikki Haley talk page as you yourself suggested (that way others can see and contribute as needed), so please continue this discussion there if you think this discussion will continue longer than a quick reply.
Anyway, the revision you've undone multiple times was the following sentence: "On January 16, 2024, Haley stated "the US has never been a racist country." The fact that Haley said this is not controversial -- it was widely reported in the news and there is not even the slightest doubt that Haley actually said this. Of course every statement ideally should have a source, so I spent some time deciding which of many possible sources to include -- ended up going with a Fox source whose headline was basically the quote as well as a cnn article from a couple of days later, I feel this combination gives a decent top level of context for anyone who might be interested.
On that note, why did you undo the edit? I legitimately don't understand how someone would or could conclude, multiple times, that the two sources provided don't support the statement that "On January 16, 2024, Haley stated "the US has never been a racist country." I've provided the sources below so you can take another look if needed. Anyway, if you want to continue the discussion with more than just a quick reply please respond on the Nikki Haley talk page, that way others can contribute as well. Thanks!

When reading the WikiProject advice page, it seems more appropriate to use ranges in paragraphs. Ranges are inconsistent with the rankings infobox in other articles and cause clutter.
WP:UNIGUIDE also states 1) "do not exclude or re-factor rankings" and 2) "attempt to include every ranking" in the Academics (or Academic profile) section. The advice appears to support using "unranked" in the infobox.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this. Redraiderengineer ( talk) 21:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi. You recently reverted the hatnotes I added to the NASCAR, IMSA and Champ Car World Series pages. Is there actually a convention to not include hatnotes if the subject is linked in the lead section? WP:HATNOTERULES states that "if a notable topic X is commonly referred to as 'Foo', but the article 'Foo' is not about X, there must be a hatnote linking to the article on X". I think this seems to apply to both NASCAR and IMSA since their premier series are commonly referred to simply by the name of the sanctioning body, and someone who is not familiar with the topic and is searching for the article on the premier series but instead ends up at the sanctioning body article might not initially realise the difference even if the premier series are linked somewhere in the lead section. The IndyCar article also has a similar hatnote. As for the Champ Car hatnote, I think it is needed given that there are many "Champ Car" links that incorrectly direct to the CCWS article instead of CART since the two topics were originally covered at the same article; see this discussion.

Please forgive me, glman. I'm a graduate of Presbyterian College and thought the intro for my alma mater was sub-par. I heard that the Pomona College Wikipedia entry is a gold standard for higher education institutions and modeled the intro after it. This is my first time trying to make an edit on Wikipedia. Please advise regarding how to improve the Presbyterian College Wikipedia page. Thank you. Dyerwriter ( talk) 19:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Glman,
Can you please explain your edit on the 2024 Xfinity Series season article where you deleted the info I added about it being The CW's first year broadcasting the series leading into them being the full season TV broadcaster of the series in 2025? The new NASCAR TV contract in 2025 is mentioned in the intro in the 2024 Cup Series season article so I don't see a reason why it can't be the same way in the Xfinity Series season article. If you still don't think we should add it in the intro, could we add info about that in the schedule section where the TV channels are listed?
Thanks,

Hello, I currently work at The Alligator and have for the past 26 years. I am in charge of alumni information. The list of past editors has been on this page as long as I can remember. I don't know why it was removed but I put it back. I have 118 years worth of publications listing the editors for those years. I don't know how to add citations so I can't do that. Please assist me by replacing the data and adding a citation if you want one. Thank you. - Ellen 64.238.191.228 ( talk) 18:33, 15 May 2024 (UTC) I just made an account here - User name is Ellen Light

You state that Penn first played Cornell in 1876. The University of Pennsylvania website, via the 2023 Penn Football factbook, states that the Cornell - Penn series did not begin until 1893.
See page 122 of the Fact Book: https://pennathletics.com/documents/2023/9/13/2023_Penn_FB_Fact_Book.pdf
With regard to the Penn vs Navy game in 1986, that same source on page 137 states that the final score was 30 to 26. Please provide your sources to back up what appears to errored edits.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wa3frp ( talk • contribs)
Hello, you reverted my edit on Suzanne Collins page. I had added Fire Proof (book 11 in The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo series), which is one of her books. Suzanne worked for Nickelodeon and one of the shows she worked on was The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo (This is on her wiki page with a reference.) This is the book that was written by Suzanne Collins, author of the Hunger Games: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/782592.Fire_Proof
I have the book in hand and there's an 'about the author' section at the end of the book. I don't know if you can get this book at your local library perhaps to corroborate. I don't know if we are allowed to post pictures here. I can type the info here, this is verbatim from inside the book: "Suzanne Collins has been on the writing staff of the Nickelodeon television show The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo since the first season. She also worked on staff for Clarissa Explains It All and Hi, Honey, I'm Home and wrote eight scripts for the Nick Jr. series Little Bear. Other credits include development work for Sunbow Entertainment and Rankin/Bass. Suzanne lives in New York with her husband, Cap, and her son, Charlie." The ISBN10 of my copy is 067102695X.
I assure you this book was written by Suzanne Collins author of The Hunger Games. Lostinshadows ( talk) 20:39, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
