Hello, your reasoning for reverting my edit makes no sense, as long as it is a source that shows proof, it doesn't matter regardless of website. If a GIF that shows proof of the Saab 35 doing the maneuver, then a link to a YouTube video is also equally as much as a source as well. Along with being a Source for proof of the F-16 VISTA doing the maneuver also a YouTube link that you didn't delete. Duderocks5539 ( talk) 03:20, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Hi @ Magnolia677:, I am new to Wikipedia and would love to improve my edits and contributions. You removed parts of my edit due to the verifiability policy. I am unsure what parts of the contribution were not verifiable. The sources are in Dutch as the University of Groningen is a Dutch institution and finding comparable sources in English is nearly impossible. Could you point me to where I went wrong so I can improve and add some value?
Thank you in advance! ( JoshStev ( talk) 01:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC))
I would also like you to stop deleting my factual posts. If you find them in question, please look them up to verify. Thanks.
@Magnolia677 Each of my sources are factual. Please do not remove information based on your own conservative values. — Preceding

Hi. You reverted an edit I made to the page of the city of Allen Texas, citing that the edit had "unsourced content" and a "dead link;" however, I could not find any dead links in any part of my edit that you reverted. I followed the same citation conventions for city election results that pages for cities like Dallas, Richardson, and Plano use in simply linking to County election result archive pages. All of the data I used to calculate the election result totals could be found in the documents available on that page. Did I format my citation incorrectly? I would like more details regarding why my edits were reverted due to the amount of time it took to gather and analyze the information I used for it. OutlawRun ( talk) 22:12, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have written about a district program that is at the prince of wales secondary school. I have read the guidelines and there is no promotional material. It is the most highly sought after program in the school district and should not be effectively erased from Wikipedia. The program is at risk of being taken away and having it repeatedly removed from Wikipedia is not making the situation any better. Why should the existence of such a program be removed from Wikipedia? The same standards are not being applied to the rest of the article. Gratefulsloth ( talk) 18:41, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Please have the same standards for the rest of the programs offered on the page- every other program cites only the school website. I would consider a program such as the Mini School with 140 students more notable than the program with 8 students (GOLD, on the same page, left untouched by you). Nevertheless, I have added multiple sources. Gratefulsloth ( talk) 23:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello again. Indeed it was. Very clearly you are mistaken in this instance: "Not Notable" -Aosdana is the premier cultural institution in Ireland, the elite of the elite if you like. Inclusion is from election by one's peers only, and membership is strictly limited to 250 members. RUA is one the leading artist organisations in Ireland, of which Seymour has also been elected to it's second tier through a rigorous election and election process. Seymour has shown internationally virtually every year since 1981 in New York, Berlin and Ireland. Highly notable.

Can you explain why you think it's out of scope for the article? Thanks! Amscheip ( talk) 18:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
I went through and added sources to the notable people that you repeatedly deleted that I had added. I also used your standards to delete other unsourced "notable people" for Denton County -- some of which like Gordon McClendon, Sly Stone and Texas Watson I had added personally under another name in the past -- as they did not meet your standards but had somehow escaped your watchful eye. I would recommend their restoration of course. I was born and raised in Denton and am baffled by your selective and un-constructive deletion efforts which are arbitrary (as I demonstrate) and lack due diligence (which I also demonstrate). I appreciate the dedication of volunteers who add information and hope you can be a more constructive member of this community in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XhainXpert ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I have made citations requested. Please review the definition of Overzealous Deletion WP:OVERZEALOUS, specifically WP:POORLY which is called an "invalid reason to delete". Let me cite in its entirety here for your benefit:
"Many newbies will write often short articles that show poor grammar, text, and overall writing and wiki skills. Even the initial creation of a page from a veteran editor (following additional edits to improve it) may not have the tidiest appearance. This does not mean the subject is not worthy of an article.
Articles about subjects that are probably notable, are poorly written, or even those that lack references (unless they are biographies) can be tagged to let others know of the deficiency. This will let others who read the pages in the future know of these problems and potentially be able to fix them."
Also please look at the subcategories for "asserting ownership" of a page and threatening "no edit orders contrary to policy" as forms of WP:BULLY. The Denton, County page and other pages about North Texas are open for everyone to edit.
You seem continue to be struggling with the "invalid reason for deletion" policy. I have made a good faith effort to address your concerns. I am delighted to see that you have stopped your repeatedly deleting the additions I made to the Denton County. Unfortunately, you continue to do so under the Shady Shores entry. As mentioned in the restoration on the Shady Shores page, an appropriate course of action would be to flag "citation needed" and mention it on my page. I would again refer you to the "Overzealous Deletion" and sub-definitions on "asserting ownership" under Wikipedia's Bullying Policy above. A review of these policies could help you to de-escalate. I wish you the best of luck in your further Wiki endeavours.
I am knowledgeable about culture in the Town of Caledon, being a long-time volunteer board member of the non-profit organization Headwaters Arts (HA) and co-founder of the Alton Mill Arts Centre (AMAC). I added some additional information about culture in the Town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada, including about HA and the AMAC, properly referenced to reputable websites. You deleted some of my additions and most of what had been posted by previous editors, with the note "trim promo". But curiously you didn't delete references to HA or AMAC altogether (as you shouldn't as they are the principal cultural agencies in the Town). What you did trim was not promotional and your change turned a factual statement into an incorrect one. Specifically, Caledon is part of the Region of Peel. The Town of Caledon has a dearth of directly municipally-owned cultural facilities (aside from its libraries) but its records are held in, and stories told by the the Regionally-run, Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives(PAMA), which happens to be located in the abutting municipality of Brampton (also part of Peel Region). So the previous editor had rightly said Caledon's records are held and stories told by PAMA in neighbouring Brampton. Your edit now incorrectly states that PAMA is an art gallery in Caledon, which it isn't and eliminated the context. I had also added that PAMA curated an exhibit about the industrial heritage of Alton (a village in Caledon) at the AMAC, which is true and was footnoted back to the PAMA website. Jordan ( talk) 00:03, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
I understand. I have expanded the section to include more cultural facilities and make it more accurate and more complete. I did refrain from restoring the reference to who collaborated to create the Alton Mill Arts Centre, as that is the only thing that I could think of that might have led to your comment about "promo". If there is anything else you think is promotional or inappropriate, please edit more judiciously or better yet, reply to this comment with your specific objections and I will make the edit.
I see your comment on my talk page. I'm fairly new to the back end. Is there another method for me to "reply"? I am not being paid. I am doing this as a volunteer.

Can we talk? You just reverted about 5 hours of my work because you say that I used a blog as a source. I have a masters in library science and a masters in history. I assure you that I did not use a blog. What I did was correct factual errors, found and added citations to unsourced statements, and added a significant amount of content to the history section-all new content was correctly cited using a UNC Press book, a variety of newspaper articles. NCpedia (published by the NC History Museum), an article from the Cary Heritage Museum, etc. I also used CaryFood which is NOT a blog. It is part of CaryCitizen.news which is the enewspaper/ezine that was established with the print newspaper Cary News went out of business. This is an actual e-newspaper with editors and sales/ad staff. If you are truly against that source, I will find another--but please do not remove hours of work, including the bulk of information that has no relationship to FoodCary. Thanks for your consideration. Rublamb ( talk) 21:18, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
@ Magnolia677: This source is credible as it is from a history museum: The Cary Cultural Center and the Page Walker Arts & History Center. I understand that it can be confusing when a corporation is DBA something other than their legal name (Friends of the Page Walker) and then uses the legal name on their website. However, this organization has published several (and the only current) books on the history of Cary. They conduct research and create the museum's exhibits. They conducted oral history interviews that are now part of the collection of Wilson Library at UNC Chapel Hill. They provide guided history tours of Cary and work with teachers. This info is all from their website. I also learned from articles in the News and Observer newspaper that this group has involved scholars, librarians, and researchers from the beginning. Why do I know all of this--because I researched the credibility of this source before I used it. Furthermore, whether or not a author is a volunteer or paid is not the sole determining factor in its credibility, as we must also consider the publisher and the quality of the writing itself. When I was the director of an nonprofit historical society with a staff of two, we had a PhD in history write a book for us to publish as a fundraiser. He wasn't paid. We weren't big and did business as the museum, rather than our legal name. Yet, I think you would agree the resulting book was credible. And, remember, you too are just a volunteer.
I know I added a lot of content, but the guidelines are to discuss rather than delete, unless the content is vandalism or defaming or the like. Even if this source was sketchy, we both know it was over the top for you to remove all edits rather than the one associated with the citation you didn't like. Such aggressive deletion is also against Wikipedia's guidelines--and we have already agreed that you initially deleted the totality of my content in error because you thought a source was a blog. The bottom line is that it is much easier for you to simply undo your delete than for me to reinsert all of that content. I again respectfully ask that you reverse your deletion. I am totally willing to revisit where I use the citation you dislike to see if it can be replaced or removed entirely. I stand by it, but know there are many other sources out there, including something you will agree to. Oh, and am I a beginner? I started in 2016, just never set up my user page until recently....

Magnolia677 As you have seen, I am trying to rebuild the intro for Cary. The other day, I took updated population stats and took out a dated fact since I couldn't fine an update. Then the other person moved stuff and cut until it was too basic. Happy to have your help as it is difficult to know where to start==and I know you have more experience with city pages. I was trying to follow the guidelines. You probably saw that I moved the metro area back to the top with a source. (maybe the other person will leave it there now that there is a source?) I am afraid someone will cut my history in the intro thinking it doesn't belong there. We shall see. Also wanted to let you know that I am fine with your edits to my text. I much prefer an edit or a note that a citation is needed than a delete. So thanks for that approach! A few FYI items. 1) Cary does touch RTP--looks like this is why they annexed into Chatham County. See this map [ [2]]. 2) With the notable businesses, all I did was add two names (with sources and updates to their Wikipedia pages) and turn the list into a paragraph with some text edits. I thought it looked weird having two lists with different formats in the same sections. I actually like it without the corporate descriptions. That was a great edit on your part==I wasn't gusty enough to cut that that existing text. Also, I did not check the existing companies, again trusting the prior content provider. Apparently the companies you removed were fine until I made an edit to that section? Or maybe you had not looked at that section. Hope it was the latter. LOL. I will see if there is anything in the newspapers and update articles if it makes sense. 3) I figured someone would hate a public art list. The list looked awful, so I tried an table. It looked awful too. So I get it, just talk to me first, please. Rublamb ( talk) 13:26, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Magnolia677: I am so confused by your post on my page. You indicate that I am removing your sourced text. I have not removed anything. All I have done is reedit the text that I wrote with the sources that I added. On the other hand, you have removed a bunch of sourced text that lots of people worked on. You want me to respect the edits you make to my text, but seem to lack that same respect for others. Maybe because you have gotten into the groove of editing rather than creating content, you forget how much time and effort is put into finding sources and writing text. But from my perspective, I am the content creator who work is being edited by you, not the other way around. If you want to talk or seek arbitration, I am willing. There has to be better way....

Hi Magnolia677. Hope things are going well. I have a question for you: I recently created an article called Sipe Springs, Comanche County, Texas. I want to add a pronunciation tag to it because in the History section of the article, you can see that it is pronounced as "seep". The sentence "It was named for the nearby springs that appeared to "seep" out of rock formations" can give you an idea. I want to do what was done in articles such as Gnadenhutten, Ohio and Delhi, Texas regarding the pronunciation, if you know what I am talking about. How do I go about doing that? Or should I not add it since it is already mentioned in the article? Thank you for reading, and I hope to get a response from you soon. Colman2000 ( talk) 06:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Although the plaque may not be considered a reputable source, the postcard from Western Connecticut State University's Digital Archives does serve as historical evidence that "Kenosha" was an alternative spelling for the lake. With that said, when looking at the Wiktionary page for "Kenosha," it is defined as "pike" / "pickerel" in two Indigenous languages. This definition matches the plaque that was cited exactly. It is my belief that including the etymology would be very beneficial for the article. How many additional sources will be needed to serve as evidence of the alternative spelling "Kenosha" for that detail to be reverted back? Thank you.

Why did you undo my edit on the Moose Jaw page? Whitebro ( talk) 03:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
About the Third Opinion request: The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance. If an editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which are made here. But a couple of notes: First, Magnolia677 has the right to remove material from this, their user talk page. That right is one of the reasons that discussion about a dispute with an article should take place at the article talk page where no such right exists. On the other hand, removal of material from a user talk page is an acknowledgment that the page's owner has read the material. Second, I express no opinion as to whether Magnolia677's reasoning for removal is sound, but I would note that Whitebro's objection ( in the material removed from this talk page) that if his addition is to be removed due to being unsourced then all of the unsourced material should be removed is specious. The existence of improper material is never a justification to add additional improper material. Perhaps the rest of the material should be removed (or not, I express no opinion about that), but if it should, it is not Magnolia677's obligation to do it in order to remove additional improper material. To conclude, I'd recommend that Whitebro make a proposal for changing the page on the article talk page and if no one objects, then implement it; if someone objects then discuss it and attempt to achieve consensus. — TransporterMan ( TALK) 19:32, 21 March 2022 (UTC) (Not watching this page)

Hi Magnolia677. This editor has responded to your post at c:COM:VPC#New Flickr account and is asking for assistance. Another editor has already them information that helps explains what they need to do, but Commons doesn’t really care about WP:COI and the creating of articles on any of the various Wikipedias. Advising them of such things is probably best done on their Wikipedia user talk page. Since you’ve already posted something, perhaps you should also be the one to explain to them about COI editing and what things are going to be expected of them. If you’re not sure how to do so, then try taking a look at WP:COI#How to handle conflicts of interest. An important thing to remember is that more leeway is usually given to COI editors working in the draft namespace than in the article namespace, and things should be OK as long as they submit drafts via AfC. They should be made aware, however, that the situation does change once a draft is approved and they will then be expected to more closely follow established policies and guidelines. If you already know all of what I’m posting about above, then my apologies for assuming otherwise. — Marchjuly ( talk) 22:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

I was reading some articles on the upcoming governor election in Minnesota. The Scott Jensen (Minnesota politician) article seemed very sorrowful looking and I think could use some work especially in the lead.

Hi Magnolia677, Regarding your reverts. I was replacing this https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html with https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/decade.html The latter is more precise since it gives tabs by year to obtain all the data back to 1790; the former is just a generic census page.

I understand where some of your edits are coming from to make the page more concise and less cumbersome, however most of them are unnecessary and seem self-serving in that you would just rather not see the information or pictures provided. At the very least do a better job of explaining or justifying these removals since you are unwilling or unable to actually contribute anything of value to the the page. As an area government representative I know how many people look at this page before making decisions about visiting or moving here, and they deserve to see the whole picture, not just your point of view.

Hello, the exports images Alex Sterck added were actually quite useful. Can you explain your rationale to remove them? I can only understand the low-quality aspect - it's hard to read on the file page - but - these are SVGs, meaning they render to an infinite size.

I see that my photo of a Graham Brothers truck was removed from the Evansville, Indiana page. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on your part. This truck is on display at a museum in Iowa, but the vehicle was built by Graham Brothers of Evansville. As I wrote on the Evansville page, Graham Brothers started building trucks in Evansville. That's why I believe my photo is relevant. BTW, I drove to the Truck Museum in Iowa specifically to take the photo which you removed. I took the photo myself so that there wouldn't be a copyright issue with it. It is discouraging to spend the time and effort to contribute to the Wikipedia project, only to have one's work deleted. I would hope that my photo could be added back to the Evansville page. Thank you. Realist1948 ( talk) 15:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Made sure to place the note about Hispanics/Latinos in my race table at the top of the page in a few recent edits. And that's what i'm gonna do from now on...thankfully, i keep a template Notepad file on my computer (which explains why i was able to update so many towns and cities as fast as i used to). You may have also noticed that my racial tables have seen a couple of updates over time, and credit to Patapsco913 for the one that i use currently.
As for making the Hispanics/Latinos note a footnote...well, i didn't really grab it off of any particular website. I saw Patapsco doing that with some of his tables, and i decided to follow suit. So i don't really know if that would count as a source, but i want to get that figured out, as there's still plenty of places in Florida and Texas i do want to update the racial data of.

Added footnotes on more than a few recent edits, and it was actually much easier than i thought it'd be in regards to finding a link.

I am surprised that you removed the entire photo gallery. For an article about a city that used to be a center for butchering cattle and is a fishing port, at least the photos related to those industries seem very relevant to the article. Also, the public fishing pier is a main landmark, often with hundreds of people a day fishing from it. I think a gallery of photos, possibly a reduced set of them, is helpful in understanding this city. Irenically, Pete unseth ( talk) 23:32, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I know you like the word "Washington" and a lot of people hear it on the news all the time, but there is no City of Washington. Have a look at /info/en/?search=District_of_Columbia_Organic_Act_of_1871 , when the city charter was revoked, leaving only a District of Columbia.
Using "Washington" as a metonym for "The District" makes the page confusing, especially in segments that cover history and the transition from the City to the District.
The DC code does refer to a City of Washington, stating that it is the area within the bounds of the original city. I expect this is partly because they didn't want to rewrite the Code, and they want historic niceties in that area. For example, there's a law that specifies no above-ground wires anywhere in the City, but allows them elsewhere in the District. So using "Washington" to mean "The District" is in opposition to what DC itself specifies, and again, using the two names interchangeably creates confusion.
But maybe you still really think "Washington" and "The District" are 100% interchangeable. Then...why care when people use "The District"? If they're equivalent, why bother changing "The District" to what you seem to be defining as equivalent? Let what is arguably the more accurate term stet.
PS: I don't know where you are, but I live here in DC (And the City of Washington, where the power line to the house is buried), and I want to assure you that the great majority of people here in DC know the difference. In DC, "Washington" means the federal government, and "DC" means the 700,000 people who live here (I know you can find counterexamples; no need to cite them). Part of what bothers me about this topic is that Wikipedia insists that the people who make up the District are all wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by B k ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I have noticed your removal of the mentioning of James Anderton, owner of Anderton Brewery (and many smaller breweries). Seeing as he was not only a pioneer of the brewery industry in Barrie and the cities largest employer for decades (facts mentioned on numerous easily accessible sources- see 'Brewed in Canada: The Untold Story of Canada's 300-Year-Old Brewing History,' or articles on him found in Barrie Today, or even the plaque dedicated to him and his family found at Victoria Street and Lakeshore Drive in Barrie itself!!), I find this quite irregular. The fact that you mark him as "not notable" perhaps speaks to your unfamiliarity with this history. Unfortunately, as I am sure you are aware, Canadian history is sadly under-documented and lacks the robust system of record keeping as our friends to the south. James Anderton's death (his death is the main reason I even seek to add him to the article, though he is an important figure in his own right) is a crucial event to understanding the toppling of the largest brewery and employer in Barrie, making way for the Molson buyouts and forever transforming the working landscape of the city. Adding these fine details helps sketch a picture of a rapidly transforming city in such an interesting period- I hope you agree!
I have linked a particularly interesting article on his death which may help illuminate! https://www.barrietoday.com/columns/remember-this/the-mysterious-death-of-james-anderton-part-1-4-photos-1015628

Hello! I undid your reverting of my edits of the Nova Scotia page. There were several edits I made, most of which were cited (I did not cite some of the Peace and Friendship Treaty history as I just took it from the linked Wiki pages themselves, and I was being lazy). As such, I humbly ask that you make your edits accordingly. For example, the inclusion of Mi'kmawi'simk as the First Language of Nova Scotia should either remain as it or with a note that it goes from a bill to a law come royal assent on Treaty Day this year (1 Oct). Another is the necessity of maintaining the inclusion of Mi'kmaw history on equal terms with French and British histories in the introduction. Anything short of that is writing the Mi'kmaq and their country† out of history. If the Treaty of Paris (1763) is named, the Peace and Friendship Treaties (1725–1779) ought to be as well. So, again, please please make edits where necessary rather than blanket reverting all the work done.
(Mid-script note †: The use of the term "country" is both apparent on the Mi'kma'ki page and on the country page, and it is akin to Basque Country or Catalan Countries, just for information)
I freely admit I was lazy with some, and perhaps (part of) the Mi'kmaw creation history ought be better versed. For this, I apologize. For my case, I will say that a) much of the unsourced materials can be found elsewhere on Wikipedia, and, especially in the intro, I kept the sourcing to the same levels of citations for Mi'kmaw history as done with Acadian history; and b) that I believe at the very least mentioning Mi'kmaw law (like Common law or Civil code) warrants a space on this page, and an important way to frame it is to introduce the roots on it in Kluskap's learnings and teachings on interbeing. Otherwise, please correct and edit where necessary, but please be mindful of the tendency for Indigenous histories, contributions, and roles to be written out of North American histories (and especially pages on Wikipedia).

Hello, you reverted an edit about Caswell County High School in addition to contextual information in the other texts that were not necessarily in any abstract (where one may of existed, for in the case of a book, they do not). I cannot log into my account. Yet each text served an important purpose to put together the history of the county. Again, you'd have to read the whole text to find what I found. I actually put the time in. It took countless hours. The point of a works cited section is to put that information there so the reader can quickly get to it and see the texts up-close.

Hi, I can see that you reverted my edits from the previous night as you deemed them not accurate due to a lack of inline citations. Well, I followed up on it this morning and I have now "half" reverted your edits. I'll let the "50th year" thing slide, as you were probably right about that, but the rest of my edits were completely accurate, and were supported by a media packet published by the organization that runs the Street Fair. Not really sure how that could be seen as inaccurate, but from my experience, it isn't. Thanks for your help editing the article, and all your effort.

First, thank you for taking an interest in the page. I noticed you have over 100,000 edits, which is amazing. Obviously you have been an editor for many years. I have as well, though have just 3,000 plus edits. Anyway, the revert you just did neglected to see the sources I painstakingly put there above referencing what Yanceyville has to offer. When we say Yanceyville, it should include areas that have a Yanceyville address. I feel it would be ok to say there what is available in Yanceyville and the immediate area (considered Yanceyville) as an intro than just Yanceyville, so this battle of semantics need not be. The fact is human beings do recreation in their areas where they live and have access to the immediate area that is still considered essentially what they call home. In Yanceyville's case, it all has been assigned a Yanceyville address by USPS. I put the sources there and please read them carefully, thanks.

I am contacting you about a revert you did to changes done by user Morganraider72 on Chisholm, Minnesota. Two of their edits to the page were fine and helped the page. However it appears they made an unattended third change. They added a comma to the word Native American (Na,tive American). While reverting is well within guidelines it appears to be heavy-handed and the typo could have just been removed instead of all the work being reverted (see list item #3). Additionally your response on the editor's talk page could have been handled more neutrally and less threatening. How it is currently written might be seen as browbeating newbies.

However, I do recognise the mistakes and faults I have made, and I am truly sorry for not meeting the standards. As someone who would like to contribute to Wikipedia, I would prefer to add the informations back to those pages in some form, since, on most of them, there is no data regarding, for instance, the languages spoken at home in the Census Designated Places located in various Native American Reservations. I would be honoured if you could suggest a way to re-add the statistics regarding the statistics about the linguistic compostition of those places and point out what mistakes should I avoid in future, so that I will be able to enrich this great Encyclopedia.

Hello, your reasoning for reverting my edit makes no sense, as long as it is a source that shows proof, it doesn't matter regardless of website.

The sources are in Dutch as the University of Groningen is a Dutch institution and finding comparable sources in English is nearly impossible. Could you point me to where I went wrong so I can improve and add some value?
Thank you in advance! ( JoshStev ( talk) 01:05, 1 December 2021 (UTC))
I would also like you to stop deleting my factual posts. If you find them in question, please look them up to verify. Thanks.
@Magnolia677 Each of my sources are factual. Please do not remove information based on your own conservative values. — Preceding

Hi. You reverted an edit I made to the page of the city of Allen Texas, citing that the edit had "unsourced content" and a "dead link;" however, I could not find any dead links in any part of my edit that you reverted. I followed the same citation conventions for city election results that pages for cities like Dallas, Richardson, and Plano use in simply linking to County election result archive pages. All of the data I used to calculate the election result totals could be found in the documents available on that page. Did I format my citation incorrectly? I would like more details regarding why my edits were reverted due to the amount of time it took to gather and analyze the information I used for it. OutlawRun ( talk) 22:12, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for monitoring the Longview, TX page so closely. It's a big help.
I undid your revision removing the listing of directors. It's totally a judgement call, but without that information the entire section is lacking.
Thanks again. Your edits make the City of Longview's presence on Wikipedia better!

I went back to the list at Quincy University and should have added back the dates (after having ENSURED that the source is fully verifiable WITHIN the LEAD of the article being pulled from). Please take another look if you'd like. Also, I didn't notice a prior edit from you on Quincy University, what brought you to that page? Thanks for the feedback regardless, I am getting the hang of this whole process you were asking for finally, it may add several steps, but I think it is best in the end... ♥ Th78blue (They/Them/Their • talk)♥ 23:48, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have written about a district program that is at the prince of wales secondary school. I have read the guidelines and there is no promotional material. It is the most highly sought after program in the school district and should not be effectively erased from Wikipedia. The program is at risk of being taken away and having it repeatedly removed from Wikipedia is not making the situation any better. Why should the existence of such a program be removed from Wikipedia? The same standards are not being applied to the rest of the article. Gratefulsloth ( talk) 18:41, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Please have the same standards for the rest of the programs offered on the page- every other program cites only the school website. I would consider a program such as the Mini School with 140 students more notable than the program with 8 students (GOLD, on the same page, left untouched by you). Nevertheless, I have added multiple sources. Gratefulsloth ( talk) 23:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello again. Indeed it was. Very clearly you are mistaken in this instance: "Not Notable" -Aosdana is the premier cultural institution in Ireland, the elite of the elite if you like. Inclusion is from election by one's peers only, and membership is strictly limited to 250 members. RUA is one the leading artist organisations in Ireland, of which Seymour has also been elected to it's second tier through a rigorous election and election process. Seymour has shown internationally virtually every year since 1981 in New York, Berlin and Ireland. Highly notable.

Hello ! I saw that you reverted my edit for Venice, Florida where I added more detail about the Higel family. They were one of the earliest pioneers to the area.

Can you explain why you think it's out of scope for the article? Thanks! Amscheip ( talk) 18:58, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
I went through and added sources to the notable people that you repeatedly deleted that I had added. I also used your standards to delete other unsourced "notable people" for Denton County -- some of which like Gordon McClendon, Sly Stone and Texas Watson I had added personally under another name in the past -- as they did not meet your standards but had somehow escaped your watchful eye. I would recommend their restoration of course. I was born and raised in Denton and am baffled by your selective and un-constructive deletion efforts which are arbitrary (as I demonstrate) and lack due diligence (which I also demonstrate). I appreciate the dedication of volunteers who add information and hope you can be a more constructive member of this community in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by XhainXpert ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
I have made citations requested. Please review the definition of Overzealous Deletion WP:OVERZEALOUS, specifically WP:POORLY which is called an "invalid reason to delete". Let me cite in its entirety here for your benefit:
"Many newbies will write often short articles that show poor grammar, text, and overall writing and wiki skills. Even the initial creation of a page from a veteran editor (following additional edits to improve it) may not have the tidiest appearance. This does not mean the subject is not worthy of an article.
Articles about subjects that are probably notable, are poorly written, or even those that lack references (unless they are biographies) can be tagged to let others know of the deficiency. This will let others who read the pages in the future know of these problems and potentially be able to fix them."
Also please look at the subcategories for "asserting ownership" of a page and threatening "no edit orders contrary to policy" as forms of WP:BULLY. The Denton, County page and other pages about North Texas are open for everyone to edit.
You seem continue to be struggling with the "invalid reason for deletion" policy. I have made a good faith effort to address your concerns. I am delighted to see that you have stopped your repeatedly deleting the additions I made to the Denton County. Unfortunately, you continue to do so under the Shady Shores entry. As mentioned in the restoration on the Shady Shores page, an appropriate course of action would be to flag "citation needed" and mention it on my page. I would again refer you to the "Overzealous Deletion" and sub-definitions on "asserting ownership" under Wikipedia's Bullying Policy above. A review of these policies could help you to de-escalate. I wish you the best of luck in your further Wiki endeavours.
I am knowledgeable about culture in the Town of Caledon, being a long-time volunteer board member of the non-profit organization Headwaters Arts (HA) and co-founder of the Alton Mill Arts Centre (AMAC). I added some additional information about culture in the Town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada, including about HA and the AMAC, properly referenced to reputable websites. You deleted some of my additions and most of what had been posted by previous editors, with the note "trim promo". But curiously you didn't delete references to HA or AMAC altogether (as you shouldn't as they are the principal cultural agencies in the Town). What you did trim was not promotional and your change turned a factual statement into an incorrect one. Specifically, Caledon is part of the Region of Peel. The Town of Caledon has a dearth of directly municipally-owned cultural facilities (aside from its libraries) but its records are held in, and stories told by the the Regionally-run, Peel Art Gallery Museum and Archives(PAMA), which happens to be located in the abutting municipality of Brampton (also part of Peel Region). So the previous editor had rightly said Caledon's records are held and stories told by PAMA in neighbouring Brampton. Your edit now incorrectly states that PAMA is an art gallery in Caledon, which it isn't and eliminated the context. I had also added that PAMA curated an exhibit about the industrial heritage of Alton (a village in Caledon) at the AMAC, which is true and was footnoted back to the PAMA website. Jordan ( talk) 00:03, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
I understand. I have expanded the section to include more cultural facilities and make it more accurate and more complete. I did refrain from restoring the reference to who collaborated to create the Alton Mill Arts Centre, as that is the only thing that I could think of that might have led to your comment about "promo". If there is anything else you think is promotional or inappropriate, please edit more judiciously or better yet, reply to this comment with your specific objections and I will make the edit.
I see your comment on my talk page. I'm fairly new to the back end. Is there another method for me to "reply"? I am not being paid. I am doing this as a volunteer.

Can we talk? You just reverted about 5 hours of my work because you say that I used a blog as a source. I have a masters in library science and a masters in history. I assure you that I did not use a blog. What I did was correct factual errors, found and added citations to unsourced statements, and added a significant amount of content to the history section-all new content was correctly cited using a UNC Press book, a variety of newspaper articles. NCpedia (published by the NC History Museum), an article from the Cary Heritage Museum, etc. I also used CaryFood which is NOT a blog. It is part of CaryCitizen.news which is the enewspaper/ezine that was established with the print newspaper Cary News went out of business. This is an actual e-newspaper with editors and sales/ad staff. If you are truly against that source, I will find another--but please do not remove hours of work, including the bulk of information that has no relationship to FoodCary. Thanks for your consideration. Rublamb ( talk) 21:18, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
@ Magnolia677: This source is credible as it is from a history museum: The Cary Cultural Center and the Page Walker Arts & History Center. I understand that it can be confusing when a corporation is DBA something other than their legal name (Friends of the Page Walker) and then uses the legal name on their website. However, this organization has published several (and the only current) books on the history of Cary. They conduct research and create the museum's exhibits. They conducted oral history interviews that are now part of the collection of Wilson Library at UNC Chapel Hill. They provide guided history tours of Cary and work with teachers. This info is all from their website. I also learned from articles in the News and Observer newspaper that this group has involved scholars, librarians, and researchers from the beginning. Why do I know all of this--because I researched the credibility of this source before I used it. Furthermore, whether or not a author is a volunteer or paid is not the sole determining factor in its credibility, as we must also consider the publisher and the quality of the writing itself. When I was the director of an nonprofit historical society with a staff of two, we had a PhD in history write a book for us to publish as a fundraiser. He wasn't paid. We weren't big and did business as the museum, rather than our legal name. Yet, I think you would agree the resulting book was credible. And, remember, you too are just a volunteer.
I know I added a lot of content, but the guidelines are to discuss rather than delete, unless the content is vandalism or defaming or the like. Even if this source was sketchy, we both know it was over the top for you to remove all edits rather than the one associated with the citation you didn't like. Such aggressive deletion is also against Wikipedia's guidelines--and we have already agreed that you initially deleted the totality of my content in error because you thought a source was a blog. The bottom line is that it is much easier for you to simply undo your delete than for me to reinsert all of that content. I again respectfully ask that you reverse your deletion. I am totally willing to revisit where I use the citation you dislike to see if it can be replaced or removed entirely. I stand by it, but know there are many other sources out there, including something you will agree to. Oh, and am I a beginner? I started in 2016, just never set up my user page until recently....

Magnolia677 As you have seen, I am trying to rebuild the intro for Cary. The other day, I took updated population stats and took out a dated fact since I couldn't fine an update. Then the other person moved stuff and cut until it was too basic. Happy to have your help as it is difficult to know where to start==and I know you have more experience with city pages. I was trying to follow the guidelines. You probably saw that I moved the metro area back to the top with a source. (maybe the other person will leave it there now that there is a source?) I am afraid someone will cut my history in the intro thinking it doesn't belong there. We shall see. Also wanted to let you know that I am fine with your edits to my text. I much prefer an edit or a note that a citation is needed than a delete. So thanks for that approach! A few FYI items. 1) Cary does touch RTP--looks like this is why they annexed into Chatham County. See this map [ [2]]. 2) With the notable businesses, all I did was add two names (with sources and updates to their Wikipedia pages) and turn the list into a paragraph with some text edits. I thought it looked weird having two lists with different formats in the same sections. I actually like it without the corporate descriptions. That was a great edit on your part==I wasn't gusty enough to cut that that existing text. Also, I did not check the existing companies, again trusting the prior content provider. Apparently the companies you removed were fine until I made an edit to that section? Or maybe you had not looked at that section. Hope it was the latter. LOL. I will see if there is anything in the newspapers and update articles if it makes sense. 3) I figured someone would hate a public art list. The list looked awful, so I tried an table. It looked awful too. So I get it, just talk to me first, please. Rublamb ( talk) 13:26, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Magnolia677: I am so confused by your post on my page. You indicate that I am removing your sourced text. I have not removed anything. All I have done is reedit the text that I wrote with the sources that I added. On the other hand, you have removed a bunch of sourced text that lots of people worked on. You want me to respect the edits you make to my text, but seem to lack that same respect for others. Maybe because you have gotten into the groove of editing rather than creating content, you forget how much time and effort is put into finding sources and writing text. But from my perspective, I am the content creator who work is being edited by you, not the other way around. If you want to talk or seek arbitration, I am willing. There has to be better way....

Hi Magnolia677. Hope things are going well. I have a question for you: I recently created an article called Sipe Springs, Comanche County, Texas. I want to add a pronunciation tag to it because in the History section of the article, you can see that it is pronounced as "seep". The sentence "It was named for the nearby springs that appeared to "seep" out of rock formations" can give you an idea. I want to do what was done in articles such as Gnadenhutten, Ohio and Delhi, Texas regarding the pronunciation, if you know what I am talking about. How do I go about doing that? Or should I not add it since it is already mentioned in the article? Thank you for reading, and I hope to get a response from you soon. Colman2000 ( talk) 06:53, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Although the plaque may not be considered a reputable source, the postcard from Western Connecticut State University's Digital Archives does serve as historical evidence that "Kenosha" was an alternative spelling for the lake. With that said, when looking at the Wiktionary page for "Kenosha," it is defined as "pike" / "pickerel" in two Indigenous languages. This definition matches the plaque that was cited exactly. It is my belief that including the etymology would be very beneficial for the article. How many additional sources will be needed to serve as evidence of the alternative spelling "Kenosha" for that detail to be reverted back? Thank you.

Why did you undo my edit on the Moose Jaw page? Whitebro ( talk) 03:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
About the Third Opinion request: The request made at Third Opinion has been removed (i.e. declined). Like all other moderated content dispute resolution venues at Wikipedia, Third Opinion requires thorough talk page discussion before seeking assistance. If an editor will not discuss, consider the recommendations which are made here. But a couple of notes: First, Magnolia677 has the right to remove material from this, their user talk page. That right is one of the reasons that discussion about a dispute with an article should take place at the article talk page where no such right exists. On the other hand, removal of material from a user talk page is an acknowledgment that the page's owner has read the material. Second, I express no opinion as to whether Magnolia677's reasoning for removal is sound, but I would note that Whitebro's objection ( in the material removed from this talk page) that if his addition is to be removed due to being unsourced then all of the unsourced material should be removed is specious. The existence of improper material is never a justification to add additional improper material. Perhaps the rest of the material should be removed (or not, I express no opinion about that), but if it should, it is not Magnolia677's obligation to do it in order to remove additional improper material. To conclude, I'd recommend that Whitebro make a proposal for changing the page on the article talk page and if no one objects, then implement it; if someone objects then discuss it and attempt to achieve consensus. — TransporterMan ( TALK) 19:32, 21 March 2022 (UTC) (Not watching this page)

Hi Magnolia677. This editor has responded to your post at c:COM:VPC#New Flickr account and is asking for assistance. Another editor has already them information that helps explains what they need to do, but Commons doesn’t really care about WP:COI and the creating of articles on any of the various Wikipedias. Advising them of such things is probably best done on their Wikipedia user talk page. Since you’ve already posted something, perhaps you should also be the one to explain to them about COI editing and what things are going to be expected of them. If you’re not sure how to do so, then try taking a look at WP:COI#How to handle conflicts of interest. An important thing to remember is that more leeway is usually given to COI editors working in the draft namespace than in the article namespace, and things should be OK as long as they submit drafts via AfC. They should be made aware, however, that the situation does change once a draft is approved and they will then be expected to more closely follow established policies and guidelines. If you already know all of what I’m posting about above, then my apologies for assuming otherwise. — Marchjuly ( talk) 22:26, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

I was reading some articles on the upcoming governor election in Minnesota. The Scott Jensen (Minnesota politician) article seemed very sorrowful looking and I think could use some work especially in the lead.

Hi Magnolia677, Regarding your reverts. I was replacing this https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html with https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census/decade.html The latter is more precise since it gives tabs by year to obtain all the data back to 1790; the former is just a generic census page.

I understand where some of your edits are coming from to make the page more concise and less cumbersome, however most of them are unnecessary and seem self-serving in that you would just rather not see the information or pictures provided. At the very least do a better job of explaining or justifying these removals since you are unwilling or unable to actually contribute anything of value to the the page. As an area government representative I know how many people look at this page before making decisions about visiting or moving here, and they deserve to see the whole picture, not just your point of view.

I see that my photo of a Graham Brothers truck was removed from the Evansville, Indiana page. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding on your part. This truck is on display at a museum in Iowa, but the vehicle was built by Graham Brothers of Evansville. As I wrote on the Evansville page, Graham Brothers started building trucks in Evansville. That's why I believe my photo is relevant. BTW, I drove to the Truck Museum in Iowa specifically to take the photo which you removed. I took the photo myself so that there wouldn't be a copyright issue with it. It is discouraging to spend the time and effort to contribute to the Wikipedia project, only to have one's work deleted. I would hope that my photo could be added back to the Evansville page. Thank you. Realist1948 ( talk) 15:17, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
Made sure to place the note about Hispanics/Latinos in my race table at the top of the page in a few recent edits. And that's what i'm gonna do from now on...thankfully, i keep a template Notepad file on my computer (which explains why i was able to update so many towns and cities as fast as i used to). You may have also noticed that my racial tables have seen a couple of updates over time, and credit to Patapsco913 for the one that i use currently.
As for making the Hispanics/Latinos note a footnote...well, i didn't really grab it off of any particular website. I saw Patapsco doing that with some of his tables, and i decided to follow suit. So i don't really know if that would count as a source, but i want to get that figured out, as there's still plenty of places in Florida and Texas i do want to update the racial data of.

I am surprised that you removed the entire photo gallery. For an article about a city that used to be a center for butchering cattle and is a fishing port, at least the photos related to those industries seem very relevant to the article. Also, the public fishing pier is a main landmark, often with hundreds of people a day fishing from it. I think a gallery of photos, possibly a reduced set of them, is helpful in understanding this city. Irenically, Pete unseth ( talk) 23:32, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I know you like the word "Washington" and a lot of people hear it on the news all the time, but there is no City of Washington. Have a look at /info/en/?search=District_of_Columbia_Organic_Act_of_1871 , when the city charter was revoked, leaving only a District of Columbia.
Using "Washington" as a metonym for "The District" makes the page confusing, especially in segments that cover history and the transition from the City to the District.
The DC code does refer to a City of Washington, stating that it is the area within the bounds of the original city. I expect this is partly because they didn't want to rewrite the Code, and they want historic niceties in that area. For example, there's a law that specifies no above-ground wires anywhere in the City, but allows them elsewhere in the District. So using "Washington" to mean "The District" is in opposition to what DC itself specifies, and again, using the two names interchangeably creates confusion.
But maybe you still really think "Washington" and "The District" are 100% interchangeable. Then...why care when people use "The District"? If they're equivalent, why bother changing "The District" to what you seem to be defining as equivalent? Let what is arguably the more accurate term stet.
PS: I don't know where you are, but I live here in DC (And the City of Washington, where the power line to the house is buried), and I want to assure you that the great majority of people here in DC know the difference. In DC, "Washington" means the federal government, and "DC" means the 700,000 people who live here (I know you can find counterexamples; no need to cite them). Part of what bothers me about this topic is that Wikipedia insists that the people who make up the District are all wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by B k ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, I have noticed your removal of the mentioning of James Anderton, owner of Anderton Brewery (and many smaller breweries). Seeing as he was not only a pioneer of the brewery industry in Barrie and the cities largest employer for decades (facts mentioned on numerous easily accessible sources- see 'Brewed in Canada: The Untold Story of Canada's 300-Year-Old Brewing History,' or articles on him found in Barrie Today, or even the plaque dedicated to him and his family found at Victoria Street and Lakeshore Drive in Barrie itself!!), I find this quite irregular. The fact that you mark him as "not notable" perhaps speaks to your unfamiliarity with this history. Unfortunately, as I am sure you are aware, Canadian history is sadly under-documented and lacks the robust system of record keeping as our friends to the south. James Anderton's death (his death is the main reason I even seek to add him to the article, though he is an important figure in his own right) is a crucial event to understanding the toppling of the largest brewery and employer in Barrie, making way for the Molson buyouts and forever transforming the working landscape of the city. Adding these fine details helps sketch a picture of a rapidly transforming city in such an interesting period- I hope you agree!
I have linked a particularly interesting article on his death which may help illuminate! https://www.barrietoday.com/columns/remember-this/the-mysterious-death-of-james-anderton-part-1-4-photos-1015628

Hello! I undid your reverting of my edits of the Nova Scotia page. There were several edits I made, most of which were cited (I did not cite some of the Peace and Friendship Treaty history as I just took it from the linked Wiki pages themselves, and I was being lazy). As such, I humbly ask that you make your edits accordingly. For example, the inclusion of Mi'kmawi'simk as the First Language of Nova Scotia should either remain as it or with a note that it goes from a bill to a law come royal assent on Treaty Day this year (1 Oct). Another is the necessity of maintaining the inclusion of Mi'kmaw history on equal terms with French and British histories in the introduction. Anything short of that is writing the Mi'kmaq and their country† out of history. If the Treaty of Paris (1763) is named, the Peace and Friendship Treaties (1725–1779) ought to be as well. So, again, please please make edits where necessary rather than blanket reverting all the work done.
(Mid-script note †: The use of the term "country" is both apparent on the Mi'kma'ki page and on the country page, and it is akin to Basque Country or Catalan Countries, just for information)
I freely admit I was lazy with some, and perhaps (part of) the Mi'kmaw creation history ought be better versed. For this, I apologize. For my case, I will say that a) much of the unsourced materials can be found elsewhere on Wikipedia, and, especially in the intro, I kept the sourcing to the same levels of citations for Mi'kmaw history as done with Acadian history; and b) that I believe at the very least mentioning Mi'kmaw law (like Common law or Civil code) warrants a space on this page, and an important way to frame it is to introduce the roots on it in Kluskap's learnings and teachings on interbeing. Otherwise, please correct and edit where necessary, but please be mindful of the tendency for Indigenous histories, contributions, and roles to be written out of North American histories (and especially pages on Wikipedia).

Hello, you reverted an edit about Caswell County High School in addition to contextual information in the other texts that were not necessarily in any abstract (where one may of existed, for in the case of a book, they do not). I cannot log into my account. Yet each text served an important purpose to put together the history of the county. Again, you'd have to read the whole text to find what I found. I actually put the time in. It took countless hours. The point of a works cited section is to put that information there so the reader can quickly get to it and see the texts up-close.

Well, I followed up on it this morning and I have now "half" reverted your edits. I'll let the "50th year" thing slide, as you were probably right about that, but the rest of my edits were completely accurate, and were supported by a media packet published by the organization that runs the Street Fair. Not really sure how that could be seen as inaccurate, but from my experience, it isn't. Thanks for your help editing the article, and all your effort.

First, thank you for taking an interest in the page. I noticed you have over 100,000 edits, which is amazing. Obviously you have been an editor for many years. I have as well, though have just 3,000 plus edits. Anyway, the revert you just did neglected to see the sources I painstakingly put there above referencing what Yanceyville has to offer. When we say Yanceyville, it should include areas that have a Yanceyville address. I feel it would be ok to say there what is available in Yanceyville and the immediate area (considered Yanceyville) as an intro than just Yanceyville, so this battle of semantics need not be. The fact is human beings do recreation in their areas where they live and have access to the immediate area that is still considered essentially what they call home. In Yanceyville's case, it all has been assigned a Yanceyville address by USPS. I put the sources there and please read them carefully, thanks.

I am contacting you about a revert you did to changes done by user Morganraider72 on Chisholm, Minnesota. Two of their edits to the page were fine and helped the page. However it appears they made an unattended third change. They added a comma to the word Native American (Na,tive American). While reverting is well within guidelines it appears to be heavy-handed and the typo could have just been removed instead of all the work being reverted (see list item #3). Additionally your response on the editor's talk page could have been handled more neutrally and less threatening. How it is currently written might be seen as browbeating newbies.

However, I do recognise the mistakes and faults I have made, and I am truly sorry for not meeting the standards. As someone who would like to contribute to Wikipedia, I would prefer to add the informations back to those pages in some form, since, on most of them, there is no data regarding, for instance, the languages spoken at home in the Census Designated Places located in various Native American Reservations. I would be honoured if you could suggest a way to re-add the statistics regarding the statistics about the linguistic compostition of those places and point out what mistakes should I avoid in future, so that I will be able to enrich this great Encyclopedia.
