Hey Lenny Marks. I see you are interested in NYC Subway, in South Brooklyn, that's where I am from. I know these places. I live here for 29 years, and I've made a lot of photos of it. Also I prepare Russian version, since my native language is Russian. I see you know Hebrew. Unfortunately I don't. So if you can, can you put my (and not my) photos and videos of Brighton Line into Hebrew wiki? Thanks. GK tramrunner ( talk) 00:38, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi GK tramrunner, thank you for reaching out to me. As far as I can tell, there is no Hebrew Wikipedia page that currently exists for the BMT Brighton Line, and it is therefore impossible for me to add anything to it. If you have a specific article in Hebrew Wikipedia that you think can benefit from an image that you took, please let me know and I'd be happy to take a look. (There is an article about the whole B Line, for example)-- Lenny Marks ( talk) 11:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Lenny Marks I guess, you can use my photos, in Hebrew version of Q (New York City Subway service). As well as in similar articles. GK tramrunner ( talk) 03:28, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I have zero problem with your edit, and would be happy for you to make it, other than the fact that you did not cite any source. Your language towards me in this comment, however, is rude and slightly offensive and I do not think it was called for.

Hello, I would like to kindly ask you to un-revert the clarifying changes I made to the Nemours Mansion and Gardens page. These changes were clarifying names and updating information about the mansion and gardens themselves such as the incorrectly listed size of the ground and the incorrect number of floors in the house itself, also the name changes for statues and gardens are taken directly from the Estates maps themselves and are not incorrect. All of these changes are not opinionated at all and are simple clarifications, especially the size and floor number changes. Thank you for your time Matthew C123 ( talk) 14:02, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
- @ Matthew C123 Hi there! I understand that the edits you have made may be innocuous, however I strongly advise you to consult the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, or to read the sections How to disclose a COI and COI editing in the conflict of interest policy. I understand that you may be merely trying to add accurate information but you must disclose conflicts of interest on a given article. I would suggest that in the meantime, you request that the edits you was are made by other users, as explained in the guide. As a side point, another issue with the edits was that they did not cite sources in the article, which is always preferable. I know this is a lot of information do please feel free to ask me, or the more expirienced users at WP:Teahouse any questions. Best, -- Lenny Marks ( talk) 14:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello, So to clarify in order for it to be changed I have to go to the talk page and request edits and cannot correct any information myself? Also you seem to have forgotten to sign your last talk edit on my page. Thank you for your time. Matthew C123 ( talk) 14:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

If you have more questions you can ask me, but there are also forums on Wikipedia for policy questions, such as: WP:Teahouse for new users, and WP:Reference desk.-- Lenny Marks ( talk) 14:26, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
You made a mistake. You accidentally reverted an edit that says that Audra McDonald is German. She was born in West Berlin, which is in Germany and anyone born in Germany is German. 2603:6080:A700:1C39:9938:A072:8D7:C819 ( talk) 18:54, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi! Thank you for telling me, but I actually noticed before. If you check the page you'll see that the edit was restored (though I changed the wording slightly). The problem was that the citation for the source which confirmed the edit was at the start of the sentence instead of after the statement, so I didn't notice it. Sorry about the confusion. By the way, I noticed your IP has made quite a few edits; Have you considered making an account to edit from? Thanks, and sorry again, -- Lenny Marks ( talk) 19:41, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Lenny, I looked at this article and then did some searching. For starters, I found this. [1] Also, Google Books turned up multiple articles which are mostly bound newspaper articles, not actual books.
I think Mr. Nader is likely notable so I'm removing the PROD tag. I believe deleting an article which is possibly notable should be discussed before deletion. (I don't think that's an official rule - just my opinion).

- I am not opposed to that, however you seem to be reposting stuff and ignoring what others have written on this subject. What would you suggest I do if you base part of your opinion regarding this club (which I happen to be a member of) when your cited reference(s) are full of gross errors, falsehoods, and lies? Furthermore, you don't reference things that are true such as charitable works, community efforts, etc.
