10/1/19 I just NOW received notice from Wiki that I have msgs. (!!!) I have NO IDEA about WHAT edit you are referring to from waaaaay back on May 19, 2019. Because you have the audacity to accuse me of VANDALISM, a hint would be nice. A link would be even better & more professional. I make A LOT of edits - mostly grammatical - so, it's impossible for me to remember what I did on Wiki in May! Please send me the specifics so I can review what horrible infraction I did that displeased you. LMilagros5472 ( talk) 00:27, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/EVALUATIONRESEARCH/DEATHWITHDIGNITYACT/Pages/faqs.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Oregon Death with Dignity. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Oregon Death with Dignity Act. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Oregon Death with Dignity Act. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. b uidh e 22:56, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
2/3/20 The article you directed me to is NOT THE PAGE I CREATED! This page was already in place. It is NOT about the DWDA itself - Death With Dignity Act - in the state of Oregon. This page is solely about the BALLOT MEASURE, LISTING IT'S BALLOT NUMBER. BTW, that ballot was from ... 1997. It passed. The page *I* created does NOT deal with the passing or failing of this measure but, instead, the 23 year old law itself & the RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES it contains. LMilagros5472 ( talk) 13:31, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
2/3/20 If you object to my page ... I strongly object to the TITLE of the "1994 Ballot" title. Whoever created that desperately needs to UPDATE it. As I said, the measure passed in 1997 & has been a state law in OR for 23 years. To not confuse readers from around the world, he title should read: The Death With Dignity Act - Oregon State Law.

2/3/20 The page I created no longer exists & is apparently UNRETREIVABLE. I wasnt even given the chance to even copy what I posted.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.

9/6/20 Blah, blah, Mr Know It All. Ive copied the critique you linked, it reads: "Have you ever noticed that the most indignant complainers never offer any sources to back up their positions? It must be an awful burden to walk around thinking you are the sole bastion of truth. John from Idegon ( talk) 15:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)" // Well, isnt THAT the pot calling the kettle black! I went to college, wrote a "zillion" research papers, all manuallydone WITHOUT COMPUTERS, btw. Very tedious. So, Im well aware that it is "forbidden" to write statements without "citing your sources." However, this fool, "John- Whatever" did EXACTKY WHAT HE ACCUSED ME OF DOING! - He "never offer(ed) any sources to back up (HIS) positions." So, I have no clue as to what either one of you is bitching & complaining about. He didnt take the time, as any TEACHER WORTH HIS/HER SALT SHOULD DO, to point out my so-called errors & WHY they are errors. As Ive stated, I was taught to read everything from the view of an ESL person, a non-American AND someone with only 4th grade reading skills. In reading the Wiki page from THOSE viewpoints on both Ham & REV. DR. MLK, Jr., I was confused as f***. I know about those 2 subjects. Most ppl dont. Too many unexplained assumptions were found in them. All I try to do when I edit is correct errors & misinformation where I see it & make the info easier to understand for ppl of ALL backgrounds, ALL ages, ALL levels of English language skills, ALL educational leves & knowledge of American hx & culture.

To Sundayclose: Your warning to me & the blank reply box keep popping up every time I go to my page. I guess Im mandated to reply? FYI: All issues have not only been discussed ad nauseum ... they were resolved several hours ago. :-) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiVampire and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers LMilagros5472 ( talk) 16:30, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Please do not ever, under any circumstances, change words used within cited quotations because you happen not to like them. This edit of yours to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was unacceptable and disruptive, and was reverted by Factfanatic1. Your aggressive edit summary suggests you think you know better than the cited source. If you can't be bothered to check the quotation, please don't bother us with your views on the correct use of words. We permit incorrect word spelling, grammar and word usage within quotations for reasons that should be blindingly obvious to anyone. Your changes to the lead sentence were also unhelpful.
Please treat this as warning not to edit so aggressively and disruptively, and to listen when other experienced editors tell you not to do something. You came a bit close to a possible block tonight, having been reported for 'vandalism' at WP:AIV, though that was an error of judgement on the other editor's part. But I do sense a failure on your part sometimes to listen, understand and to follow our requirements (explained at WP:MOS and elsewhere) So, I am spending time writing this in the hope you will listen to these and previous concerns expressed to you above. Failure to work collaboratively tends to result in editing privileges being withdrawn, either temporarily or permanently. Please be civil and not accuse other editors of being trolls, and please don't use CAPS as this is deemed as rather aggressive shouting. You may have age and knowledge on your side, but you also need a willingness to listen, read and understand Wikipedia's ways of doing things collaboratively. Kind regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:05, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

9/62020 20:27 CA TIME. Im hoping this message gets to EVERYONE (Ive lost count!) who has "bagged" on me today, & not just this particuar person. All this drama has not made for a pleasant, relaxing Sunday, that's for sure. All I can say is .. my, my ... what a stink my editing has caused. I have 3 rebuttals to all 5 or 6 of you re my Joanne Whalley additions. 1) Someone removed the DATE I ADDED of 2003 for her work with Blink 182. Why did I add that? Bc I found it to be a pain in the a** to STOP what I was reading & look it up! I find *THAT* to be disruptive. I was curious to know WHEN that song was recorded. I felt adding the yr would help future readers to not have stop in mid page when they could CONVENIENTLY have the date for them right there. 2) The original author, who did a nice job, btw, forgot to add the "the" to Matrix Theatre. IT HAS IT'S OWN WIKI PAGE, hello! When I changed it to The Matrix Theatre everybody who is NOT from LA can quickly read about it, if interested. I do NOT feel something with it's own Wiki page is an "unsourced reference." So, I "sourced" it. 3) The original article says nothing about Ms. Whalley's career after 2018. I was curious to know if she had any current projects. So, again, I had to stop reading the article & do a net search. Guess what? SHE DOES. A movie. And, guess what? It just happens to finally debut TOMORROW, Mon, 9/7, after a 5-month Covid delay. And ... guess what? That movie has it's own Wiki page, too! I believe it's called "Love Is Love Is." I didnt make any of that stuff up. I just conveniently added what what already there, for those interested. Yes, this 2020 movie is buried in the table provided ... if anyone takes the time to go through all of that. Again, how that paragraph referring a movie to its own Wiki page is considered "unsourced" is beyond me. LMilagros5472 ( talk) As for the Jackie O debacle, I dont remember CHANGING someone else's quote. If I did ... "my bad," obviously. I will have to re-read the article again. As for my comments to "Fact-Whatever" to "knockit off" - he/she REALLY aggravated me because not just 2 seconds after I changed/added things, he/she REPEATEDLY came right behind me & undid them all. My changes/additions to that page did have a connection to the Whalley page bc the movie in which she played Jackie O was listed twice & yet when I'd click on BOTH links I was sent to 2 ... 2 ... different sites. I couldnt find the error & thought maybe it was due to the MANY names Jackie O was known by. That's a moot point, at this stage. LMilagros5472 ( talk) I dont know how all of this works or how any of you immediately know when & what I edit. There must be at least a MILLION ppl who change stuff on Wiki each day! So, I can only guess that you have the ability to "red flag" my name & are notified each time I'm even LOOKING at a Wiki page. I may not only stop editing Wiki pages I feel are innacurate, poorly written or missing current info, I may stop READING anything on Wiki. I dont need or want the drama or the attacks & it's really annoying when certain ppl act like they are the "King of Wiki." There are much more serious issues on this planet that need my attention. That's all I have to say. Thank you to all who even bother to read this. Laura Milagros5472 (Im not a "him" as someone inferred)

9/6/2020 22:07 CA TIME To @ian.thompson (talk). So, you think the 3 or 4 Wiki pages I referenced in Ms. Whalley's page are bogus and not relevant & "vandalism"? Plz explain & validate?

9/6/2020 22:23 CA TIME To @ian.thompson (talk). I've read EVERYONE'S msgs VERY carefully. Im not deliberately ignoring them. But, from my perspective, everyone seems to be ignoring my very simple, clear questions. So, I will ask one more time: Do you believe that the 3 or 4 Wiki page links I added to Ms. Whalley's page are bogus, not relevant, "not sourced" & using the Wiki-only term, actual malicious "vandalism"? In a previous post Ive listed all the WIKI LINKS to WIKI PAGES which @Sundayclose promptly obliterated. I think this does a great disservice to Ms. Whalley, The Matrix Theatre in LA & the new movie by Eleanor Copppla - MRS Francis Ford Coppola, btw! Plz explain & validate why these Wiki links to Wiki pages are forbidden.

at the end of your post. This automatically adds a date/timestamp which causes the system to send the notification when you publish. Indent your reply on a new line with one extra colon.9/7/20 5:39CA time From my perspective, the way the Wiki msgs are configured are VERY confusing to me. I really cant tell who is sending what. But ... I really the appreciated the 2 most recent msgs, one from Nick Moyes and the msg & notice to "unblock" from 331dot. If I am wrong as to who sent the msgs, PLEASE accept my apology! "My bad!" Thank you for SHOWING me how to do, for lack of a better term, Wiki "hashtags." I saw the @so-and-so in several msgs over the weeks & also tonight, so I thought that was "how it was done." Obviously, I was wrong. I hope I get this right: @ Nick Moyes: & 331dot. You stated I need to "sign (my) posts on talk pages by typing 4 ... tildes..." So, why does "it" say right underneath the reply box, "...your reply will be automatically signed w/your username." Has "it" not been doing that? I thought Ive seen my name listed at least twice per reply. So, I will close this msg with the 4 tildes. I wish address several issues in order & then I'll shut up. lol. You called one thing I did "stupid" - ouch!- but there's a reason for that. I did TEMPORARILY put a sentence to not "remove this, I'm coming back to add detail later'. In my defence, I wrote that bc ppl were coming behind me deleting things faster than I could add them & I had to leave the Wiki page to do copying & pasting of he concept I wanted to add & I was "saving my place." I think I was gone from the Wiki page for less than 2 minutes. I normally would NEVER do that, but last night was a nightmare & an exception. -- Re the "gender mistake," ansolutely no offense taken. Your edited comment, "Most ppl exhibiting your style of *behaviour* tend to be ...*blokes* who aren't too hot on collaborat(ion)." That comment actually made me laugh. And the words encased in **, including *recognise* & *encyclopaedia* made me smile bc I'm pretty sure Im speaking w/someone from one of these great countries: GB, or one of the other countries in the UK or AU or NZ. -Cheers, mate!- Re the Onasis edit: I wrote an apology about my misread,but I obviously sent it to the wrong person. I said I would NEVER deliberately change a quote, bc I was taught very well & I know better than that! For some reason, I didnt see the quotation marks. So,that was totally "my bad." In conclusion, Im going to try finishing my edits on the Joanne Whalley page again later this week, using the same Wiki links I did before. In my prior edits that were accepted, the links to Wiki pages were ALSO accepted. So, I still dont understand why some were accepted & others were rejected, thus causing the huge commotion. If my final edit & these Wiki links to the info I add are not permitted, or are unacceptable, rejected, etc, then I would hope someone will clearly explain WHY. Ever since I was a little kid when told, "NO!", I always demanded to know the reason WHY. "Cheeky." lol. If my edits & Wiki links for Joanne Whalley are once again rejected, I think it wise, think it best, to cease editing on Wiki ... no matter how strong the pull will be to correct or update something I see in the future. I like to do things that are fun, positive & productive. I also like to make ppl happy, not miserable. And, believe it, or not, I DONT like to fight or argue. I must add that all the edits I've done were done in good faith ... so, all the stress I've been put through as a result is just not worth it. So, with that being said .. I will now try to sign off correctly LMilagros5472 ( talk) 13:47, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I reverted your edits to the lead section of Five Little Pigs, beginning here, as the lead is not the place for a lengthy plot summary. The plot summary is in the body of the article, and is not that long, either. Now the plot summary comes in just under 800 words. The title of that section is Plot or Plot summary, not the longer title you added. The opinions about the book are highlighted in the third paragraph, all taken from the reviews of the book by others which document the notability of the book, in newspapers or books. See WP:PLOTSUM and WP:WAF for more discussion of writing about fiction on Wikipedia. The lead section is discussed at WP:MOSLEAD. For fiction, another editor long ago advised me to be concise in the lead, and suggested highlighting the reviews of a novel as a third paragraph. You see this article's lead follows that format. Further, all the articles about books by Agatha Christie open in the same way, establishing the title, as some books had one title in the UK and another in the US, the year of publication, and the publishers and the prices. Those data were gathered years ago by editors with access to the soruce book with the UK information on original publisher and prices. I maintain that pattern, set long before I began editing any of the articles on books by Agatha Christie. This particular article needs work in the References and allusions section, as some editor in 2017 marked the section as not having sufficient references. There are inline citations there now, but I do not know if they are strong enough to support all the points made. The source that is a collection of 5 stories has an introduction by Robert Barnard on pages 7-8 that can perhaps be put to better use. When you click on that reference, you will be connected to a copy of the book, and can thus read that introduction on the screen. That is a topic worth your effort. The secondary sources are the basis for the notability of the book, and keep us editors from doing Original Research. -- Prairieplant ( talk) 07:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet ( talk) 02:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
10/28/22 2:11am PDT To Binksternet: Wow! I've actually encountered the God of Rock n Roll. I'm humbled & honored. Apparently you own or you **think** you own this page & must have it flagged when someone attempts to edit. Have you READ the articles in RS & others you cited? I have. I have the hard copies of them - i.e., good ole fashioned paper! Are you a R n Roll/music historian & professor of the subject? Are you even over 50? There has been a long raging controversy as to when & who started R n R, but I DO know it was NOT a genre in the 1940s. It was GESTATING in the 40s & early 50s. Ike Turner & others were tinkering with it's prototype, but nothing solid happened until 1951 with "Rocket88". The first true R n R hit was in 1955 with Chuck Berry's "Maybeline" - *THAT* is when R n R was "born". Are you an English teacher or English major? I attempted to correct grammatical errors & improve the flow of the info. You rejected it - twice. I don't see what most ppl see when they edit a Wiki page bc I do so on an Android & not a PC, not an easy task. So, you win. I'm not going to waste any more of my precious time correcting your mistakes on this page bc you insist on being a Wiki Nazi.If you don't care that ppl all over the world are reading poor English grammar AND misinformation about Rock Music in the area "above the fold" - the section that is read the most - well, that's on you. I do strongly suggest that my edit to the final paragraph at least be accepted for continuity's sake. It's very poor writing to sum things up in the middle of an article. (The sentence pointing out Rock's demise as of 2010.) That type of error in a paper would get a "D" if submitted in a uni class. LMilagros5472 ( talk) 09:42, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Oregon Death with Dignity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/EVALUATIONRESEARCH/DEATHWITHDIGNITYACT/Pages/faqs.aspx. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Oregon Death with Dignity. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Oregon Death with Dignity Act. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Oregon Death with Dignity Act. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia.

2/3/20 The article you directed me to is NOT THE PAGE I CREATED! This page was already in place. It is NOT about the DWDA itself - Death With Dignity Act - in the state of Oregon. This page is solely about the BALLOT MEASURE, LISTING IT'S BALLOT NUMBER. BTW, that ballot was from ... 1997. It passed. The page *I* created does NOT deal with the passing or failing of this measure but, instead, the 23 year old law itself & the RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES it contains.

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them.) WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN.
We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia.

9/6/20 Blah, blah, Mr Know It All. Ive copied the critique you linked, it reads: "Have you ever noticed that the most indignant complainers never offer any sources to back up their positions? It must be an awful burden to walk around thinking you are the sole bastion of truth. John from Idegon ( talk) 15:32, 30 August 2020 (UTC)" // Well, isnt THAT the pot calling the kettle black! I went to college, wrote a "zillion" research papers, all manuallydone WITHOUT COMPUTERS, btw. Very tedious. So, Im well aware that it is "forbidden" to write statements without "citing your sources." However, this fool, "John- Whatever" did EXACTKY WHAT HE ACCUSED ME OF DOING! - He "never offer(ed) any sources to back up (HIS) positions." So, I have no clue as to what either one of you is bitching & complaining about. He didnt take the time, as any TEACHER WORTH HIS/HER SALT SHOULD DO, to point out my so-called errors & WHY they are errors. As Ive stated, I was taught to read everything from the view of an ESL person, a non-American AND someone with only 4th grade reading skills. In reading the Wiki page from THOSE viewpoints on both Ham & REV. DR. MLK, Jr., I was confused as f***. I know about those 2 subjects. Most ppl dont. Too many unexplained assumptions were found in them. All I try to do when I edit is correct errors & misinformation where I see it & make the info easier to understand for ppl of ALL backgrounds, ALL ages, ALL levels of English language skills, ALL educational leves & knowledge of American hx & culture.

Please do not ever, under any circumstances, change words used within cited quotations because you happen not to like them. This edit of yours to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was unacceptable and disruptive, and was reverted by Factfanatic1. Your aggressive edit summary suggests you think you know better than the cited source. If you can't be bothered to check the quotation, please don't bother us with your views on the correct use of words. We permit incorrect word spelling, grammar and word usage within quotations for reasons that should be blindingly obvious to anyone. Your changes to the lead sentence were also unhelpful.
Please treat this as warning not to edit so aggressively and disruptively, and to listen when other experienced editors tell you not to do something. You came a bit close to a possible block tonight, having been reported for 'vandalism' at WP:AIV, though that was an error of judgement on the other editor's part. But I do sense a failure on your part sometimes to listen, understand and to follow our requirements (explained at WP:MOS and elsewhere) So, I am spending time writing this in the hope you will listen to these and previous concerns expressed to you above. Failure to work collaboratively tends to result in editing privileges being withdrawn, either temporarily or permanently. Please be civil and not accuse other editors of being trolls, and please don't use CAPS as this is deemed as rather aggressive shouting. You may have age and knowledge on your side, but you also need a willingness to listen, read and understand Wikipedia's ways of doing things collaboratively. Kind regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:05, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

9/62020 20:27 CA TIME. Im hoping this message gets to EVERYONE (Ive lost count!) who has "bagged" on me today, & not just this particuar person. All this drama has not made for a pleasant, relaxing Sunday, that's for sure. All I can say is .. my, my ... what a stink my editing has caused. I have 3 rebuttals to all 5 or 6 of you re my Joanne Whalley additions. 1) Someone removed the DATE I ADDED of 2003 for her work with Blink 182. Why did I add that? Bc I found it to be a pain in the a** to STOP what I was reading & look it up! I find *THAT* to be disruptive. I was curious to know WHEN that song was recorded. I felt adding the yr would help future readers to not have stop in mid page when they could CONVENIENTLY have the date for them right there. 2) The original author, who did a nice job, btw, forgot to add the "the" to Matrix Theatre. IT HAS IT'S OWN WIKI PAGE, hello! When I changed it to The Matrix Theatre everybody who is NOT from LA can quickly read about it, if interested. I do NOT feel something with it's own Wiki page is an "unsourced reference." So, I "sourced" it. 3) The original article says nothing about Ms. Whalley's career after 2018. I was curious to know if she had any current projects. So, again, I had to stop reading the article & do a net search. Guess what? SHE DOES. A movie. And, guess what? It just happens to finally debut TOMORROW, Mon, 9/7, after a 5-month Covid delay. And ... guess what? That movie has it's own Wiki page, too! I believe it's called "Love Is Love Is." I didnt make any of that stuff up. I just conveniently added what what already there, for those interested. Yes, this 2020 movie is buried in the table provided ... if anyone takes the time to go through all of that. Again, how that paragraph referring a movie to its own Wiki page is considered "unsourced" is beyond me. LMilagros5472 ( talk) As for the Jackie O debacle, I dont remember CHANGING someone else's quote. If I did ... "my bad," obviously. I will have to re-read the article again. As for my comments to "Fact-Whatever" to "knockit off" - he/she REALLY aggravated me because not just 2 seconds after I changed/added things, he/she REPEATEDLY came right behind me & undid them all. My changes/additions to that page did have a connection to the Whalley page bc the movie in which she played Jackie O was listed twice & yet when I'd click on BOTH links I was sent to 2 ... 2 ... different sites. I couldnt find the error & thought maybe it was due to the MANY names Jackie O was known by. That's a moot point, at this stage. LMilagros5472 ( talk) I dont know how all of this works or how any of you immediately know when & what I edit. There must be at least a MILLION ppl who change stuff on Wiki each day! So, I can only guess that you have the ability to "red flag" my name & are notified each time I'm even LOOKING at a Wiki page. I may not only stop editing Wiki pages I feel are innacurate, poorly written or missing current info, I may stop READING anything on Wiki. I dont need or want the drama or the attacks & it's really annoying when certain ppl act like they are the "King of Wiki." There are much more serious issues on this planet that need my attention. That's all I have to say. Thank you to all who even bother to read this. Laura Milagros5472 (Im not a "him" as someone inferred)

So, I will ask one more time: Do you believe that the 3 or 4 Wiki page links I added to Ms. Whalley's page are bogus, not relevant, "not sourced" & using the Wiki-only term, actual malicious "vandalism"? In a previous post Ive listed all the WIKI LINKS to WIKI PAGES which @Sundayclose promptly obliterated.

Indent your reply on a new line with one extra colon.9/7/20 5:39CA time From my perspective, the way the Wiki msgs are configured are VERY confusing to me. I really cant tell who is sending what. But ... I really the appreciated the 2 most recent msgs, one from Nick Moyes and the msg & notice to "unblock" from 331dot. If I am wrong as to who sent the msgs, PLEASE accept my apology! "My bad!" Thank you for SHOWING me how to do, for lack of a better term, Wiki "hashtags." I saw the @so-and-so in several msgs over the weeks & also tonight, so I thought that was "how it was done." Obviously, I was wrong. I hope I get this right: @ Nick Moyes: & 331dot. You stated I need to "sign (my) posts on talk pages by typing 4 ... tildes..." So, why does "it" say right underneath the reply box, "...your reply will be automatically signed w/your username." Has "it" not been doing that? I thought Ive seen my name listed at least twice per reply. So, I will close this msg with the 4 tildes. I wish address several issues in order & then I'll shut up. lol. You called one thing I did "stupid" - ouch!- but there's a reason for that. I did TEMPORARILY put a sentence to not "remove this, I'm coming back to add detail later'. In my defence, I wrote that bc ppl were coming behind me deleting things faster than I could add them & I had to leave the Wiki page to do copying & pasting of he concept I wanted to add & I was "saving my place." I think I was gone from the Wiki page for less than 2 minutes. I normally would NEVER do that, but last night was a nightmare & an exception. -- Re the "gender mistake," ansolutely no offense taken. Your edited comment, "Most ppl exhibiting your style of *behaviour* tend to be ...*blokes* who aren't too hot on collaborat(ion)." That comment actually made me laugh. And the words encased in **, including *recognise* & *encyclopaedia* made me smile bc I'm pretty sure Im speaking w/someone from one of these great countries: GB, or one of the other countries in the UK or AU or NZ. -Cheers, mate!- Re the Onasis edit: I wrote an apology about my misread,but I obviously sent it to the wrong person. I said I would NEVER deliberately change a quote, bc I was taught very well & I know better than that! For some reason, I didnt see the quotation marks. So,that was totally "my bad." In conclusion, Im going to try finishing my edits on the Joanne Whalley page again later this week, using the same Wiki links I did before. In my prior edits that were accepted, the links to Wiki pages were ALSO accepted. So, I still dont understand why some were accepted & others were rejected, thus causing the huge commotion. If my final edit & these Wiki links to the info I add are not permitted, or are unacceptable, rejected, etc, then I would hope someone will clearly explain WHY. Ever since I was a little kid when told, "NO!", I always demanded to know the reason WHY. "Cheeky." lol. If my edits & Wiki links for Joanne Whalley are once again rejected, I think it wise, think it best, to cease editing on Wiki ... no matter how strong the pull will be to correct or update something I see in the future. I like to do things that are fun, positive & productive. I also like to make ppl happy, not miserable. And, believe it, or not, I DONT like to fight or argue. I must add that all the edits I've done were done in good faith ... so, all the stress I've been put through as a result is just not worth it. So, with that being said .. I will now try to sign off correctly LMilagros5472 ( talk) 13:47, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

(It helps if you can ping me if you add to them.) Nick Moyes ( talk) 19:36, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for all these tips! Much appreciated! LMilagros5472 ( talk) 18:19, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you'd not edit since the above conversations, and I was hoping this hadn't put you off permanently. Drop by my talk page if you need any help, or are unsure of anything (or you could ask at the Teahouse if you need a really quick reply). I was pleased to note that another admin has restored your edits to Joanne Whalley, which is good news, and added some supporting citations, too. All the very best, and come back soon!

I reverted your edits to the lead section of Five Little Pigs, beginning here, as the lead is not the place for a lengthy plot summary. The plot summary is in the body of the article, and is not that long, either. Now the plot summary comes in just under 800 words. The title of that section is Plot or Plot summary, not the longer title you added. The opinions about the book are highlighted in the third paragraph, all taken from the reviews of the book by others which document the notability of the book, in newspapers or books. See WP:PLOTSUM and WP:WAF for more discussion of writing about fiction on Wikipedia. The lead section is discussed at WP:MOSLEAD. For fiction, another editor long ago advised me to be concise in the lead, and suggested highlighting the reviews of a novel as a third paragraph. You see this article's lead follows that format. Further, all the articles about books by Agatha Christie open in the same way, establishing the title, as some books had one title in the UK and another in the US, the year of publication, and the publishers and the prices. Those data were gathered years ago by editors with access to the soruce book with the UK information on original publisher and prices. I maintain that pattern, set long before I began editing any of the articles on books by Agatha Christie. This particular article needs work in the References and allusions section, as some editor in 2017 marked the section as not having sufficient references. There are inline citations there now, but I do not know if they are strong enough to support all the points made. The source that is a collection of 5 stories has an introduction by Robert Barnard on pages 7-8 that can perhaps be put to better use. When you click on that reference, you will be connected to a copy of the book, and can thus read that introduction on the screen. That is a topic worth your effort. The secondary sources are the basis for the notability of the book, and keep us editors from doing Original Research. -- Prairieplant ( talk) 07:33, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
Your 31 October 2021 edit of the plot summary is not in accordance with MOS:FILM. Before your edit, the total wordage of the summary (639 words) complied with WP:FILMPLOT. You turned the summary into 970 words. Please see topic regarding your edit in article's Talk page: "Plot summary increased beyond allowable wordage". Pyxis Solitary (yak).

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Rock music. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Binksternet ( talk) 02:16, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
10/28/22 2:11am PDT To Binksternet: Wow! I've actually encountered the God of Rock n Roll. I'm humbled & honored. Apparently you own or you **think** you own this page & must have it flagged when someone attempts to edit. Have you READ the articles in RS & others you cited? I have. I have the hard copies of them - i.e., good ole fashioned paper! Are you a R n Roll/music historian & professor of the subject? Are you even over 50? There has been a long raging controversy as to when & who started R n R, but I DO know it was NOT a genre in the 1940s. It was GESTATING in the 40s & early 50s. Ike Turner & others were tinkering with it's prototype, but nothing solid happened until 1951 with "Rocket88". The first true R n R hit was in 1955 with Chuck Berry's "Maybeline" - *THAT* is when R n R was "born". Are you an English teacher or English major? I attempted to correct grammatical errors & improve the flow of the info. You rejected it - twice. I don't see what most ppl see when they edit a Wiki page bc I do so on an Android & not a PC, not an easy task. So, you win. I'm not going to waste any more of my precious time correcting your mistakes on this page bc you insist on being a Wiki Nazi.If you don't care that ppl all over the world are reading poor English grammar AND misinformation about Rock Music in the area "above the fold" - the section that is read the most - well, that's on you. I do strongly suggest that my edit to the final paragraph at least be accepted for continuity's sake. It's very poor writing to sum things up in the middle of an article. (The sentence pointing out Rock's demise as of 2010.) That type of error in a paper would get a "D" if submitted in a uni class. LMilagros5472 ( talk) 09:42, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
