The IP's wording may have been poor, but it has basis in fact, and is sourced in the article. There were nine survivors of rosewood who received compensation from the state.

Hello Donald Albury,
It took me awhile to figure out how to communicate with you on here but I was able to find the link. I do not have a good memory but I found the research I needed and the sources I needed as well. They are academically correct but some are conflicted because the records are dated incorrectly so I am not sure how to notify people of something like that. Please realize when you are dealing with "Factual History" that dates and times for certain things may be wrong or incorrect. In addition, I am a historian I am not an academic genius even though I have been in school for 25 years. Thank you for the edits you were able to make or the changes you were able to make as I was pretty sure someone would be able to figure it out if they noticed my poor editing. In addition, I will send you a link so you can learn more about the page I was editing.
https://www.bmsworldmission.org/heritage/jamaica/
Thomas “as in "Thomas Burche", was his slave name. This is seen as offensive to Jamaican people in this era and it is against human rights to dead name a person even if it is factual history but you have permission to write down the facts about Thomas Burche using his real name as Jamaican people would prefer it that way as it is part of and relating to Black History and Black Slavery that happened in the 1700-1930s era. The word Brutal is the real definition that White supremacist used to call Black people during the Dark days. William Knibb is an Honourable persons of Jamaica and is my Great Great Great Grandfather so I would like to restore his image back to what it is suppose to be as I am his ancestor. I'm from foster care so there is no conflict of interest when it comes to the research.
Thomas Knibb is considered a Half Brother but he was adopted by the Knibb family and freed so he is considered family to the Knibb family heritage line. a If you look up or research into Black slavery and the link I provided and read it carefully you will understand that William Knibb adopted "Thomas Burche" as his own brother and he also was able to legally change it so that Thomas Knibb was his real name under United Kingdom Law of the 1800 era. Furthermore, William Knibb and Thomas Knibb are (step-siblings) under William Knibb's fathers' last name as this was necessary to free Thomas from slavery.
Definition of Brutal in 1824 literally means Burche. (Reference: Oxford Dictionary the Hard Copy version of the actual Book as I own the Book myself so I can give you the date the book was published but that is not in this version of the book so you let me know how to proceed with that.
You made the changes and other people have so that William Knibb is connected to the Baptist people as well as mentioned as a Baptist Missionary. Also, this helps historians a lot as I am a family historian that is not related to my family as I am from foster care so I am trying my best to help out with all the old family history of theirs as I am considered an outside source of information. Anyways, have a wonderful day and thank you for your time. Furthermore, you can see that I am actually a pretty good writer so be careful how you address me please. I do not like to be spoken to as if I am some sort of person with low intellect through written communication so please be respectful as I am a human being that is disabled so doing this is not easy for me.
Sincerely,
King Knibb — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingKnibbs ( talk • contribs) 12:25, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Donald Albury, I saw you are an administrator and I need some advices regarding this user Gomes000 ( talk · contribs).
He is constantly putting former Portuguese provinces, like the Estremadura Province (1936–1976) on every article he can find and inserting them on wrong categories in the Category:Municipalities of Portugal. Even reaching as far as putting places, like the underwater Nazaré Canyon, on a region, which is just insane. I warned him about this a few months ago on his talk page but he deleted it. Besides that, none of its edits can be reverted, all he does is this and he doesn't know a thing about grammar (even Portuguese). Don't get me wrong, these provinces have their place and their use, especially in the history section, but not the main intro of the article. There are other (up to date) regions he can use but he strictly uses old provinces.
What can I do? Average Portuguese Joe ( talk) 17:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Donald Albury: I thank you for that, but I feel like he's a user who won't engage in a conversation and my main problem wasn't the other edits he did, but more the edits in which he included old provinces (most of them are from Estremadura) and he stalked my recent edits to include others. He can include them in the History section appropriately all he wants, but not on the header of the article. Even more so because Portugal has districts and intermunicipal communities. Look at Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park for example, it is way more understandable for a reader to say the park is located between the Districts of Leiria and Santarém than to put three large provinces that are not used since 1976 like he did.
I think his edits are disruptive and not constructive at all. And I mean Portugal had a lot of historical provinces along the years, and he puts those from Estado Novo, a time were Angola and Mozambique were part of Portugal. It just doesn't make any sense to put provinces.
I know you can't do much about this, but he's the type of user who will just keep reverting again and again even with warnings. Tha's why I stopped reverting his edits.
I'll try writing him on his talk page, but if he doesn't respond or deletes my comment, then he's just purely vandalizing the articles. Average Portuguese Joe ( talk) 15:31, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi again @ Donald Albury:, as I foresaw earlier, the user continues to edit and revert despite knowing there is someone who disagrees on his edits and writes him on his talk page, proving once more that he doesn't care and does not want to follow Wikipedia rules. In my opinion, this user is better blocked, he is not improving Wikipedia whatsoever, instead, he's making a political statement. For reference, since you are not Portuguese, there are some people (mostly old people) who do not agree with the abolition of the provinces in 1976, almost like there's people who don't believe in the moonlanding, the provinces are still occasionally used when we want to refer to a cultural past (especially Alentejo) or an exact delimited area of distribution that is better expressed as that province, even I use them sometimes. This is the wrong way to use them, in an uncontrollable and not relevant way. I'm sorry that I keep pushing this subject to the surface but I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say. Average Portuguese Joe ( talk) 19:36, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Timothy2b, you undid my edit on the Hollywood, Florida page. The only edit I made was to the abbreviation of its climate type. The climate section states that it has a tropical rainforest climate, which is correct, but it said that the Köppen abbreviation for that climate type was Am. Am is actually the abbreviation used for the tropical monsoon climate, Af is the one used for tropical rainforest climates. You can check yourself on the article about the [Köppen climate classification]]. I only want to change Am to Af, so the abbreviation matches the climate type. Thanks. Timothy2b ( talk) 14:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Donald,
I've taken notice of your attentiveness to detail on the edit I suggested. As a living, breathing descendant who very well practices our way of life from my earliest memories, I can wholeheartedly assure you that my people are not a relic of the past as the colonization of our history teaches. Frankly it is shocking to still have to defend our existence and the magic of our resistance.
For a "credible" source, I kindly invite you to read through coverage from the Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, and data from the 2010 U.S. Census and 2020 U.S. Census. Though I am sure it is enough to simply exist and not need to find a subjectively accredited source to "support" the notion of my reality, I hope that direction can provide you more clarity as to the level of assurance you may have been searching for.

Pardon me, Donald Albury, but I did not engage edit-war with Ddum5347. For I reverted his edit only once today, which is 30th Mar, not 26th Mar. I already saw the talk page of Ddum5347, and I think there's been a misunderstanding, for I did not revert or edit the page of gaur in 26th Mar. The page was fine until 27th Mar, where Ddum5347 edited it after he was unblocked. I only notice that today. After he reverted mine, it was Kevmin who reverted his edit. Please check the revision history of gaur again.-- Manwë986 ( talk) 23:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I seen that in the revision history, Donald Albury. And I only seen the 27th Mar edit on 30th Mar, and I reverted it. Yes, the only proofs I have are my words and my eyes. And I use my mobile phone to edit, and I don't visit Wikipedia very often. I don't shrink responsibility for that edit war with Ddum. So far, the only user who have opinions about that article is Ddum. And there's been unpleasant remarks made between him and BhagyaMani on 11th Mar, about edit warring and facts, and the word "dreadful" was included. Also, what I mean in my previous reply is this: Manwe reverted you on 26 March. You reverted Manwe today. Manwe reverted you again today". I didn't do that on 26th Mar. If you are referring to the edit war starting at 11th Mar, I don't object it. In conclusion, the other users have no opinions about that article, and I don't have any conflicts with anyone about the original information within the article. Sorry about the mess.-- Manwë986 ( talk) 00:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Don, I have never previously edited anything on Wikipedia, and have not learned how to add sources as yet. Rebecca Flagerty was my family ancestor and left Sand Key by about 1840 with her second husband, Capt Fredick Neill, who also became the keeper for a period after their marriage in 1834, both later found back in Baltimore in the census records of 1840, 1850, and 1860. Aside from that, there are numerous hard sources on the lighthouse and its keepers noting which one actually died in the 1846 hurricane, Joshua Appleby. Here is one from the USCG Historian's Office online page: https://www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Land/All/Article/1988486/sand-key-lighthouse/ Here is another, a reprint from the US Lighthouse Society: https://uslhs.org/sites/default/files/articles_pdf/sand_key.pdf
I should probably have learned how to add sources, and will go back to do so, but did not want the erroneous info retained on the page as it has been for some time. If you would add one of these sources, and put the correction back in, I would appreciate it why I deal with the learning curve. As long as it is correct, credit or other, is unimportant to me.
Thanks, Allan Garner
Allan Garner ( talk) 17:53, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
I am aware of some discrepancies in some accounts, but I think the noted sources are clear and some individuals simply made some errors. As per some additional documentation, as Rebecca was a family ancestor, I also have her marriage record from Monroe FL in 1934 (married at Sand Key Light), her second husband is then noted as taking over as keeper (also per the list of keepers). He is then recorded as "resigning" prior to 1840, and proof Rebecca was no longer there in 1846, are then census records of 1840 for her and her second husband, her again in 1850, and 1860 in Baltimore.
That would all certainly seem to me to refute any account she died there in 1846, still the keeper, having not remarried and with her first husband's name.
Edit: The noted USCG Historian's site makes an initial statement of Rebecca staying 16 years after her first husband's death, and dying there in 1846, but below that, on the same page, it lists all the subsequent keepers, including her second husband, which contradicts the first statement, also noting the correct keeper dying there in 1846. The reprint from the Lighthouse Society referenced, goes into much greater detail, and is also supported by additional records found.

Once I sort it out, one published master's thesis, Monroe Co. Fl marriage records, and the US census records, may all be quoted in any edits, all reliable sources per the guidelines and not "my original research". Regardless of conflicting comments elsewhere on Rebecca, I hope that will suffice. Thanks Allan Garner ( talk) 22:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Albury,
I am not sure exactly which edit I made on Andrew Young's entry, but I got your message about it. I am not an active Wikipedia editor and while I very much admire the time that you and others put in, I don't feel I have the time myself to become an active participant in this way. I mean no disrespect; it is important work. I simply saw a problem and tried to fix it. And, truth be told, I find the complex system of protocols on Wikipedia for explaining the reasoning too hard to follow. I apologize.
At any rate, I think that the change I made had to do with this sentence just below, and I am going to try to explain why I made it.
On August 10, news of the meeting became public when the Mossad leaked its illegally-acquired transcript of the meeting first to Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and then through his office to Newsweek.[13]
I have one grammatical point and then a series of substantive points.
1. There should be no hyphen in "illegally acquired." When an adverb ending in -ly precedes a participle, no hyphen is used. This is spelled out very clearly in The Chicago Manual of Style, rule 5.91: "A two-word phrasal adjective that begins with an adverb ending in -ly is not hyphenated." And also in rule 7.82: "Compounds formed by an adverb ending in ly plus an adjective or participle (such as largely irrelevant or smartly dressed) are not hyphenated either before or after a noun, since ambiguity is nearly impossible."
2. More important, the sentence in question is poorly sourced and it tendentiously flags and overemphasizes certain claims with unsavory implications.
a) Let's begin with the claim the "Mossad" "leaked" its transcript of the meeting to the Israeli prime minister. This sentence uses the word "leak" incorrectly, falsely imputing or implying conspiratorial wrongdoing. Intelligence services are supposed to share intelligence with their political superiors. The CIA does not "leak" information to the U.S. president. It "provides" him with information. Here, the word "leaked" is used to suggest that some improper or non-routine behavior was occurring this should be fixed.
b) The reference to the "Mossad" should not be there. It is not clear that the Mossad had anything to do with it, and the organization often is invoked to conjure up the specter of illegitimate Jewish or Israeli power or influence.
c) The factual basis of this sentence is weak. It is sourced to a sensational 1990 book of dubious veracity, "By Way of Deception." Here is the New York Times review of that book by the longtime U.S. national security investigative reporter David Wise ( https://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/07/books/what-did-mossad-know-and-when.html). I'll quote a few paragraphs, but the review clearly suggests the book is not to be relied upon:
By Way of Deception, written with Claire Hoy, a Canadian journalist, describes, in minute detail, Mr. Ostrovsky's training as a fledgling case officer. How to detect surveillance, how to meet an Arab agent in a cafe (and how not to), how to recruit an agent and so forth. This portion, the first half of the book, has the ring of a firsthand account.
With some exceptions, the second half of the book discusses operations in which Mr. Ostrovsky did not participate and which, in many cases, had occurred years before he joined Israeli intelligence. Since these operations are also presented in abundant detail, with descriptions of complex events complete with dozens of names and dates, it appears that the authors relied, at least in part, on published sources.
While it is difficult to judge the accuracy of many of these stories, one should bear in mind that although the Government of Israel has validated Mr. Ostrovsky's identity - its lawsuit confirmed that he is who he says he is - it has not validated his information. Avi Pazner, a press adviser to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, has called the book an amalgamation of very few facts and a lot of lies. Isser Harel, a former chief of Mossad, has said in an affidavit that the book, by naming names of intelligence officers, has placed them in a life-threatening situation. ...
Less persuasive is Mr. Ostrovsky's claim that Yitzhak Hofi, the head of Mossad, personally participated in the murder of two minor Palestine Liberation Organization representatives in Athens in the mid-1970's. That the chief of Mossad would risk exposure of himself and Israeli intelligence by serving as a hit man strains credulity, as does much else in the book. ...
Much of By Way of Deceit reads like a supermarket tabloid.
OK, that's all from Wise.
In contrast, read a well-respected history such as Jonathan Alter's recent biography of Jimmy Carter, "His Very Best" ( https://www.google.com/books/edition/His_Very_Best/xbjIDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0), p. 484, which says "Young also made the mistake of telling Yehuda Blum, the Israeli ambassador to the UN, that the meeting [with Terzi] was, in fact, substantive" and that this led the Israelis to make an issue of the Young-Terzi meeting.
So the source for the current Wikipedia language is dubious and unreliable and inaccurately casts the Israeli action -- by invoking the Mossad, the word "illegally" (much intelligence is acquired through illegal surveillance), and the word "leaked" -- in a shadowy, conspiratorial light.
d) The imputation of vast, disproportionate powers to Jews, Zionists, and Israel is a classic anti-Semitic trope. (The use of "the Mossad" as an agent in such anti-Semitic conspiracies -- see, for example, "the Mossad did 9/11" anti-Semitic conspiracies.) In fact, Israel had legitimate reason to object to the Young-Terzi meeting, as did American Jews and other American supporters of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
To review: The statement is not quite true (highly distorted, partial and less than accurate in its account of how the news of the meeting came to be known). It is tendentious (the language used seems to promote a nefarious, conspiratorial interpretation). And, perhaps unintentionally, this misleading, tendentious cast traffics in anti-Semitic tropes.
For all these reasons, I think the sentence should be changed to: a. remove reference to the Mossad (since Young told the Israeli ambassador about it) b. remove "leaked" c. Include information, which can be found in Alter's book and other reputable sources, about why Young held the meeting and why people objected.

Mr. Albury,
You were the admin that spoke to me and user @A455bcd9 about the edit warring that took place a few week ago.
Well, this user has come back and reverted my edits once again on the “Levantine Arabic” article. I want to point out that he actually re implemented the information that was in dispute while i was gone. When i just came back, i saw it. But i said i was going to make the compromise for the sake of ending the dispute permanently and made ok with it. I simply re-organized the summary and added more specified information of the info already there in the same section , and he came and deleted it.
He has been maintaining a grip over that page for the longest time and as i mentioned before, deletes also the contributions of other users that may not fit his POV pushing. Look at the edits just in the past week alone, you will immediately lose count.
Mr. Albury, he has become a real big problem. You warned that if he were to revert my edits again, you will block him. Please deal with him accordingly.

HI! I recently made some edits to the Page-Ladson page, which you have reverted. These were correct edits... I am not much of a wikipedia editor, so if I did the html wrong or something, I apologize. However, the article talking about IUP archaeologists working at the site is literally the last thing mentioned in the current article about work at the site, and since they were just visitors and it was a general interest paper for IUP, I think having it there is giving it false prominence. Further, reading the talk page and the page history, apparently at least one person thinks Halligan is claiming all credit for the finds at Page-Ladson, which is definitely not the case. All the articles written by her research team clearly give credit to the previous work by Dunbar and Webb and in the supplemental to the 2016 article, there is a great deal of discussion of the previous work at the site, but more importantly, Dunbar is one of the authors of the 2016 article and was co-PI on the 2012 project. One of the editors has linked several popular press articles in which he claims that Dunbar is not being given enough credit. Given that they were written by journalists, and not the research team, this seems patently unfair to the PI's on the project, especially since Dunbar was one of them. This edit was thus made to clarify Dunbar's contribution to the recent research at the site as well. THanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.44.29 ( talk) 20:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

I've asked for PP for the article, as I'm now at 3RR against what adds up to 4 IP s over the last 24-30 hours. Request page is backlogged at this time, so not sure when an admin will get around to applying the protection.

Hello! It's Dak Kirk. Thanks much for the message about my edits to the Sahara Desert article. The section that was edited already contained an internal link to " Negroid," which explains that the term is an outdated racial grouping that is not scientific. But you're right, the Sahara article should include citations as well. I added those citations and reapplied the edits. To try and clarify the issue, the article previously said "The specimen was determined to be that of a 30-month-old child of uncertain sex, who possessed Negroid features." However, scientists have shown that no one can say with any scientific authority that a human's features are "negroid," as such terminology is not based on actual science ( but racist imaginings). It seems like an oversight to note the archeological team's claims but not note that the claims were based on a racist classification system that's not science. Anyways, hopefully my edits make things a little clearer. I'm sure they could be further improved. Best :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dax Kirk ( talk • contribs) 06:22, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

What do you mean "Doesn't belong in a school article"? If you mean the name of the superintendent doesn't belong, fine, delete it. I won't argue that. But don't change it back to the wrong name.
Malcolm Thomas is no longer superintendent. Timothy Smith is.

Hello Donald Albury,
It took me awhile to figure out how to communicate with you on here but I was able to find the link. I do not have a good memory but I found the research I needed and the sources I needed as well. They are academically correct but some are conflicted because the records are dated incorrectly so I am not sure how to notify people of something like that. Please realize when you are dealing with "Factual History" that dates and times for certain things may be wrong or incorrect. In addition, I am a historian I am not an academic genius even though I have been in school for 25 years. Thank you for the edits you were able to make or the changes you were able to make as I was pretty sure someone would be able to figure it out if they noticed my poor editing. In addition, I will send you a link so you can learn more about the page I was editing.
https://www.bmsworldmission.org/heritage/jamaica/
Thomas “as in "Thomas Burche", was his slave name. This is seen as offensive to Jamaican people in this era and it is against human rights to dead name a person even if it is factual history but you have permission to write down the facts about Thomas Burche using his real name as Jamaican people would prefer it that way as it is part of and relating to Black History and Black Slavery that happened in the 1700-1930s era. The word Brutal is the real definition that White supremacist used to call Black people during the Dark days. William Knibb is an Honourable persons of Jamaica and is my Great Great Great Grandfather so I would like to restore his image back to what it is suppose to be as I am his ancestor. I'm from foster care so there is no conflict of interest when it comes to the research.
Thomas Knibb is considered a Half Brother but he was adopted by the Knibb family and freed so he is considered family to the Knibb family heritage line. a If you look up or research into Black slavery and the link I provided and read it carefully you will understand that William Knibb adopted "Thomas Burche" as his own brother and he also was able to legally change it so that Thomas Knibb was his real name under United Kingdom Law of the 1800 era. Furthermore, William Knibb and Thomas Knibb are (step-siblings) under William Knibb's fathers' last name as this was necessary to free Thomas from slavery.
Definition of Brutal in 1824 literally means Burche. (Reference: Oxford Dictionary the Hard Copy version of the actual Book as I own the Book myself so I can give you the date the book was published but that is not in this version of the book so you let me know how to proceed with that.
You made the changes and other people have so that William Knibb is connected to the Baptist people as well as mentioned as a Baptist Missionary. Also, this helps historians a lot as I am a family historian that is not related to my family as I am from foster care so I am trying my best to help out with all the old family history of theirs as I am considered an outside source of information. Anyways, have a wonderful day and thank you for your time. Furthermore, you can see that I am actually a pretty good writer so be careful how you address me please. I do not like to be spoken to as if I am some sort of person with low intellect through written communication so please be respectful as I am a human being that is disabled so doing this is not easy for me.
Sincerely,
King Knibb — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingKnibbs ( talk • contribs) 12:25, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Donald Albury, I saw you are an administrator and I need some advices regarding this user Gomes000 ( talk · contribs).
He is constantly putting former Portuguese provinces, like the Estremadura Province (1936–1976) on every article he can find and inserting them on wrong categories in the Category:Municipalities of Portugal. Even reaching as far as putting places, like the underwater Nazaré Canyon, on a region, which is just insane. I warned him about this a few months ago on his talk page but he deleted it. Besides that, none of its edits can be reverted, all he does is this and he doesn't know a thing about grammar (even Portuguese). Don't get me wrong, these provinces have their place and their use, especially in the history section, but not the main intro of the article. There are other (up to date) regions he can use but he strictly uses old provinces.
What can I do? Average Portuguese Joe ( talk) 17:33, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
@ Donald Albury: I thank you for that, but I feel like he's a user who won't engage in a conversation and my main problem wasn't the other edits he did, but more the edits in which he included old provinces (most of them are from Estremadura) and he stalked my recent edits to include others. He can include them in the History section appropriately all he wants, but not on the header of the article. Even more so because Portugal has districts and intermunicipal communities. Look at Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park for example, it is way more understandable for a reader to say the park is located between the Districts of Leiria and Santarém than to put three large provinces that are not used since 1976 like he did.
I think his edits are disruptive and not constructive at all. And I mean Portugal had a lot of historical provinces along the years, and he puts those from Estado Novo, a time were Angola and Mozambique were part of Portugal. It just doesn't make any sense to put provinces.
I know you can't do much about this, but he's the type of user who will just keep reverting again and again even with warnings. Tha's why I stopped reverting his edits.
I'll try writing him on his talk page, but if he doesn't respond or deletes my comment, then he's just purely vandalizing the articles. Average Portuguese Joe ( talk) 15:31, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi again @ Donald Albury:, as I foresaw earlier, the user continues to edit and revert despite knowing there is someone who disagrees on his edits and writes him on his talk page, proving once more that he doesn't care and does not want to follow Wikipedia rules. In my opinion, this user is better blocked, he is not improving Wikipedia whatsoever, instead, he's making a political statement. For reference, since you are not Portuguese, there are some people (mostly old people) who do not agree with the abolition of the provinces in 1976, almost like there's people who don't believe in the moonlanding, the provinces are still occasionally used when we want to refer to a cultural past (especially Alentejo) or an exact delimited area of distribution that is better expressed as that province, even I use them sometimes. This is the wrong way to use them, in an uncontrollable and not relevant way. I'm sorry that I keep pushing this subject to the surface but I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.

Hi, I'm Timothy2b, you undid my edit on the Hollywood, Florida page. The only edit I made was to the abbreviation of its climate type. The climate section states that it has a tropical rainforest climate, which is correct, but it said that the Köppen abbreviation for that climate type was Am. Am is actually the abbreviation used for the tropical monsoon climate, Af is the one used for tropical rainforest climates. You can check yourself on the article about the [Köppen climate classification]]. I only want to change Am to Af, so the abbreviation matches the climate type. Thanks. Timothy2b ( talk) 14:14, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
Donald,
I've taken notice of your attentiveness to detail on the edit I suggested. As a living, breathing descendant who very well practices our way of life from my earliest memories, I can wholeheartedly assure you that my people are not a relic of the past as the colonization of our history teaches. Frankly it is shocking to still have to defend our existence and the magic of our resistance.
For a "credible" source, I kindly invite you to read through coverage from the Smithsonian Magazine, National Geographic, and data from the 2010 U.S. Census and 2020 U.S. Census. Though I am sure it is enough to simply exist and not need to find a subjectively accredited source to "support" the notion of my reality, I hope that direction can provide you more clarity as to the level of assurance you may have been searching for.

Pardon me, Donald Albury, but I did not engage edit-war with Ddum5347. For I reverted his edit only once today, which is 30th Mar, not 26th Mar. I already saw the talk page of Ddum5347, and I think there's been a misunderstanding, for I did not revert or edit the page of gaur in 26th Mar. The page was fine until 27th Mar, where Ddum5347 edited it after he was unblocked. I only notice that today. After he reverted mine, it was Kevmin who reverted his edit. Please check the revision history of gaur again.-- Manwë986 ( talk) 23:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
I seen that in the revision history, Donald Albury. And I only seen the 27th Mar edit on 30th Mar, and I reverted it. Yes, the only proofs I have are my words and my eyes. And I use my mobile phone to edit, and I don't visit Wikipedia very often. I don't shrink responsibility for that edit war with Ddum. So far, the only user who have opinions about that article is Ddum. And there's been unpleasant remarks made between him and BhagyaMani on 11th Mar, about edit warring and facts, and the word "dreadful" was included. Also, what I mean in my previous reply is this: Manwe reverted you on 26 March. You reverted Manwe today. Manwe reverted you again today". I didn't do that on 26th Mar. If you are referring to the edit war starting at 11th Mar, I don't object it. In conclusion, the other users have no opinions about that article, and I don't have any conflicts with anyone about the original information within the article.

Hello, you left a message on my talk page about the edit on Lighthouse. I did use the preview button prior to saving - and it showed the thumbnail correctly. This is how Preview appeared. But the thumbnail still shows as broken after the edit. It currently shows as broken after your edit as well. This is how it currently appears, and how it appeared before my edits. What do you suppose is causing this error? HamEx35 ( talk) 05:37, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
Don, I have never previously edited anything on Wikipedia, and have not learned how to add sources as yet. Rebecca Flagerty was my family ancestor and left Sand Key by about 1840 with her second husband, Capt Fredick Neill, who also became the keeper for a period after their marriage in 1834, both later found back in Baltimore in the census records of 1840, 1850, and 1860. Aside from that, there are numerous hard sources on the lighthouse and its keepers noting which one actually died in the 1846 hurricane, Joshua Appleby. Here is one from the USCG Historian's Office online page: https://www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Land/All/Article/1988486/sand-key-lighthouse/ Here is another, a reprint from the US Lighthouse Society: https://uslhs.org/sites/default/files/articles_pdf/sand_key.pdf
I should probably have learned how to add sources, and will go back to do so, but did not want the erroneous info retained on the page as it has been for some time. If you would add one of these sources, and put the correction back in, I would appreciate it why I deal with the learning curve. As long as it is correct, credit or other, is unimportant to me.
Thanks, Allan Garner
Allan Garner ( talk) 17:53, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
I am aware of some discrepancies in some accounts, but I think the noted sources are clear and some individuals simply made some errors. As per some additional documentation, as Rebecca was a family ancestor, I also have her marriage record from Monroe FL in 1934 (married at Sand Key Light), her second husband is then noted as taking over as keeper (also per the list of keepers). He is then recorded as "resigning" prior to 1840, and proof Rebecca was no longer there in 1846, are then census records of 1840 for her and her second husband, her again in 1850, and 1860 in Baltimore.
That would all certainly seem to me to refute any account she died there in 1846, still the keeper, having not remarried and with her first husband's name.
Edit: The noted USCG Historian's site makes an initial statement of Rebecca staying 16 years after her first husband's death, and dying there in 1846, but below that, on the same page, it lists all the subsequent keepers, including her second husband, which contradicts the first statement, also noting the correct keeper dying there in 1846. The reprint from the Lighthouse Society referenced, goes into much greater detail, and is also supported by additional records found.

Once I sort it out, one published master's thesis, Monroe Co. Fl marriage records, and the US census records, may all be quoted in any edits, all reliable sources per the guidelines and not "my original research". Regardless of conflicting comments elsewhere on Rebecca, I hope that will suffice. Thanks Allan Garner ( talk) 22:59, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I've come across an editor who is adding a significant number of towns Category:Sundown towns in the United States when they already exist in sub categories. I've undone the edits. But it occurred as well that there might be a need to scan these articles for verification and either remove them from those categories entirely or add {{ Uncited category}}. My first task though was to remove the redundant categories. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 12:50, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
Dear Mr. Albury,
I am not sure exactly which edit I made on Andrew Young's entry, but I got your message about it. I am not an active Wikipedia editor and while I very much admire the time that you and others put in, I don't feel I have the time myself to become an active participant in this way. I mean no disrespect; it is important work. I simply saw a problem and tried to fix it. And, truth be told, I find the complex system of protocols on Wikipedia for explaining the reasoning too hard to follow. I apologize.
At any rate, I think that the change I made had to do with this sentence just below, and I am going to try to explain why I made it.
On August 10, news of the meeting became public when the Mossad leaked its illegally-acquired transcript of the meeting first to Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and then through his office to Newsweek.[13]
I have one grammatical point and then a series of substantive points.
1. There should be no hyphen in "illegally acquired." When an adverb ending in -ly precedes a participle, no hyphen is used. This is spelled out very clearly in The Chicago Manual of Style, rule 5.91: "A two-word phrasal adjective that begins with an adverb ending in -ly is not hyphenated." And also in rule 7.82: "Compounds formed by an adverb ending in ly plus an adjective or participle (such as largely irrelevant or smartly dressed) are not hyphenated either before or after a noun, since ambiguity is nearly impossible."
2. More important, the sentence in question is poorly sourced and it tendentiously flags and overemphasizes certain claims with unsavory implications.
a) Let's begin with the claim the "Mossad" "leaked" its transcript of the meeting to the Israeli prime minister. This sentence uses the word "leak" incorrectly, falsely imputing or implying conspiratorial wrongdoing. Intelligence services are supposed to share intelligence with their political superiors. The CIA does not "leak" information to the U.S. president. It "provides" him with information. Here, the word "leaked" is used to suggest that some improper or non-routine behavior was occurring this should be fixed.
b) The reference to the "Mossad" should not be there. It is not clear that the Mossad had anything to do with it, and the organization often is invoked to conjure up the specter of illegitimate Jewish or Israeli power or influence.
c) The factual basis of this sentence is weak. It is sourced to a sensational 1990 book of dubious veracity, "By Way of Deception." Here is the New York Times review of that book by the longtime U.S. national security investigative reporter David Wise ( https://www.nytimes.com/1990/10/07/books/what-did-mossad-know-and-when.html). I'll quote a few paragraphs, but the review clearly suggests the book is not to be relied upon:
By Way of Deception, written with Claire Hoy, a Canadian journalist, describes, in minute detail, Mr. Ostrovsky's training as a fledgling case officer. How to detect surveillance, how to meet an Arab agent in a cafe (and how not to), how to recruit an agent and so forth. This portion, the first half of the book, has the ring of a firsthand account.
With some exceptions, the second half of the book discusses operations in which Mr. Ostrovsky did not participate and which, in many cases, had occurred years before he joined Israeli intelligence. Since these operations are also presented in abundant detail, with descriptions of complex events complete with dozens of names and dates, it appears that the authors relied, at least in part, on published sources.
While it is difficult to judge the accuracy of many of these stories, one should bear in mind that although the Government of Israel has validated Mr. Ostrovsky's identity - its lawsuit confirmed that he is who he says he is - it has not validated his information. Avi Pazner, a press adviser to Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, has called the book an amalgamation of very few facts and a lot of lies. Isser Harel, a former chief of Mossad, has said in an affidavit that the book, by naming names of intelligence officers, has placed them in a life-threatening situation. ...
Less persuasive is Mr. Ostrovsky's claim that Yitzhak Hofi, the head of Mossad, personally participated in the murder of two minor Palestine Liberation Organization representatives in Athens in the mid-1970's. That the chief of Mossad would risk exposure of himself and Israeli intelligence by serving as a hit man strains credulity, as does much else in the book. ...
Much of By Way of Deceit reads like a supermarket tabloid.
OK, that's all from Wise.
In contrast, read a well-respected history such as Jonathan Alter's recent biography of Jimmy Carter, "His Very Best" ( https://www.google.com/books/edition/His_Very_Best/xbjIDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0), p. 484, which says "Young also made the mistake of telling Yehuda Blum, the Israeli ambassador to the UN, that the meeting [with Terzi] was, in fact, substantive" and that this led the Israelis to make an issue of the Young-Terzi meeting.
So the source for the current Wikipedia language is dubious and unreliable and inaccurately casts the Israeli action -- by invoking the Mossad, the word "illegally" (much intelligence is acquired through illegal surveillance), and the word "leaked" -- in a shadowy, conspiratorial light.
d) The imputation of vast, disproportionate powers to Jews, Zionists, and Israel is a classic anti-Semitic trope. (The use of "the Mossad" as an agent in such anti-Semitic conspiracies -- see, for example, "the Mossad did 9/11" anti-Semitic conspiracies.) In fact, Israel had legitimate reason to object to the Young-Terzi meeting, as did American Jews and other American supporters of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
To review: The statement is not quite true (highly distorted, partial and less than accurate in its account of how the news of the meeting came to be known). It is tendentious (the language used seems to promote a nefarious, conspiratorial interpretation). And, perhaps unintentionally, this misleading, tendentious cast traffics in anti-Semitic tropes.
For all these reasons, I think the sentence should be changed to: a. remove reference to the Mossad (since Young told the Israeli ambassador about it) b. remove "leaked" c. Include information, which can be found in Alter's book and other reputable sources, about why Young held the meeting and why people objected.

Mr. Albury,
You were the admin that spoke to me and user @A455bcd9 about the edit warring that took place a few week ago.
Well, this user has come back and reverted my edits once again on the “Levantine Arabic” article. I want to point out that he actually re implemented the information that was in dispute while i was gone. When i just came back, i saw it. But i said i was going to make the compromise for the sake of ending the dispute permanently and made ok with it. I simply re-organized the summary and added more specified information of the info already there in the same section , and he came and deleted it.
He has been maintaining a grip over that page for the longest time and as i mentioned before, deletes also the contributions of other users that may not fit his POV pushing. Look at the edits just in the past week alone, you will immediately lose count.
Mr. Albury, he has become a real big problem. You warned that if he were to revert my edits again, you will block him. Please deal with him accordingly.
He has opened up yet another case on me in the admin board also. The previous one is the one you managed. He is making every attempt to try and get me in trouble so he can go back on that page and delete factually accurate information to suit his agenda. thanks.

HI! I recently made some edits to the Page-Ladson page, which you have reverted. These were correct edits... I am not much of a wikipedia editor, so if I did the html wrong or something, I apologize. However, the article talking about IUP archaeologists working at the site is literally the last thing mentioned in the current article about work at the site, and since they were just visitors and it was a general interest paper for IUP, I think having it there is giving it false prominence. Further, reading the talk page and the page history, apparently at least one person thinks Halligan is claiming all credit for the finds at Page-Ladson, which is definitely not the case. All the articles written by her research team clearly give credit to the previous work by Dunbar and Webb and in the supplemental to the 2016 article, there is a great deal of discussion of the previous work at the site, but more importantly, Dunbar is one of the authors of the 2016 article and was co-PI on the 2012 project. One of the editors has linked several popular press articles in which he claims that Dunbar is not being given enough credit. Given that they were written by journalists, and not the research team, this seems patently unfair to the PI's on the project, especially since Dunbar was one of them. This edit was thus made to clarify Dunbar's contribution to the recent research at the site as well. THanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.220.44.29 ( talk) 20:05, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! It's Dak Kirk. Thanks much for the message about my edits to the Sahara Desert article. The section that was edited already contained an internal link to " Negroid," which explains that the term is an outdated racial grouping that is not scientific. But you're right, the Sahara article should include citations as well. I added those citations and reapplied the edits. To try and clarify the issue, the article previously said "The specimen was determined to be that of a 30-month-old child of uncertain sex, who possessed Negroid features." However, scientists have shown that no one can say with any scientific authority that a human's features are "negroid," as such terminology is not based on actual science ( but racist imaginings). It seems like an oversight to note the archeological team's claims but not note that the claims were based on a racist classification system that's not science. Anyways, hopefully my edits make things a little clearer. I'm sure they could be further improved.
