Some of us here at the Pekin Public Library reverted a few of your recent edits to the Pekin IL article, including the section on the Native peoples who lived in and near Pekin at and soon after the time when white settlement began in the 1820s that led in a few years to Pekin's founding. Since these peoples were the first to live in what became Pekin, their story is a part of Pekin's story, especially since Pekin's pioneers had dealings with many of them. It is important that those who lived in what became Pekin are acknowledged and not erased from our history.
Our city is now preparing to celebrate a bicentennial in 2024, which is 200 years since the arrival of Jonathan Tharp. Therefore Ia and others hope our city's Wikipedia article can be improved, since it really needs it. I appreciate your interest in our city and in improving the Wikipedia article, but ask that you not delete any chapter of our history, not even Pekin's "prehistory." You are unfortunately mistaken that none of the Native peoples mentions lived within Pekin's geographic boundaries. Some lived just outside or on the boundaries (such as the 1830s camp on the south shores of Pekin Lake, which was on the north edge of Pekin's Lakeside Cemetery, the city's oldest and largest extant cemetery), but the Pottawatomi village on the ridge along Pekin Lake was entirely within Pekin's boundaries, in northwest Pekin. So too was Shabbona's camp circa 1830 which was immediately south of Broadway and near Front Street (alone Pekin's river front).
Hello Magnolia677. I see here that you have a habit of removing relevant, neutrally-phrased, reliably-sourced material from pages, rarely give understandable edit summaries, and many users have asked you to stop. Certainly at no time is it acceptable to refuse to discuss your edits and engage in personal attacks as you did here. Invasive Spices ( talk) 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit on assumption Illinois? I added a source at the bottom under references. The information regarding Canada is incorrect and is listed as such on the city of assumption website, which ai added and you deleted. The city in Canada was not formed until long after the city in Illinois. The parish was founded in 1807. The person who changed the name is buried in Assumption and the rest of his family is buried in Louisiana. Rather than flagging it, you deleted it. Why?

I see where you reverted (basically) every edit I've made to the Cass Scenic Railroad wiki. While some of it was conferred to me by their mechanical team and can be removed in the notes column, you also removed several rows of the table that can easily be seen from Cass's website from a simple web search. These are locomotives that are owned by the railroad and it is listed on multiple sites. It would be nice if I did not have to retype of all of that and remake that table.

Yes, I'm familiar with the Ellwood Oil Field area, so the article is on my watchlist, and Tom Modugno publishes a lot of very good local research on his Goleta History blog. He's correct that the Japanese commander story is a local myth. It's a small town, and longtime residents with an interest in the area often know more than many of the mainstream sources, so it's good to pay attention when folks dispute what's in the Wikipedia articles - and help them rework their contributions to fit Wikipedia's guidelines, instead of rejecting them. I'll help with that part. Dreamyshade ( talk) 18:56, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
You made an edit which was to undo edits on the Walker Art Center page, claiming that they were simply "artistic babble from a primary source of artistic babble" I would argue that both facts that I added made improvements to the page as a whole. There is no reason that there should not be more information about both the 2005 building and the conflict in 2017, this information is relevant and would improve reader's understandings of the history of the Walker as a whole. The sources are reliable and the information is accurate, and placed accurately. I would appreciate if you would undo your edit, and put my facts back in place.

Hello @ Magnolia677. I have a question about the Minneapolis article and the Minnesota article. You seem to be the right person to ask in terms of experience and interest. I am reaching out since I am not a registered editor (who can’t edit protected pages (or their talk pages) for that reason).
For Minneapolis —> the “DFL has held a majority of Council seats there for 50 years” in the 5th paragraph reads very awkwardly and comes across as confusing rather than helpful. Should it be adjusted to talk about the city being known as a national center of progressive politics? (The rest of the state is moderate and Minneapolis has been in the news for its progressive leanings). I was thinking that may be much more informative to readers when talking about politics. It also seems to say it is the largest city twice (but I may be misreading). You do what you think is best for that article opening.
For Minnesota —> unlike other states’ pages, it does not talk about what states and Canadian provinces it is near. Also the part about “more recent decades….” near the end is quite a jumble to read. As a result, its purpose in the opening comes across as lost. Attack that opening section as you see fit.
Very much thanks for your help. I would do it myself if I was a registered editor! —- Grebbgy88 ( talk) 15:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I'm new to this thing, and only really made this account to put up information on a Proposed freeway that eventually resulted in the construction of Welcome Way. The reason I saw it fit was because had the freeway been built, it would have been important, and its direct correlation to the one-way system of Brady St. and Harrison St./Welcome Way. Also the idea of something that could have changed the landscape of Davenport not being mentioned really anywhere online aside from a blurb in a blogpost is just kind of sad. Anyways I won't undo your edit or go against it or anything, just wanted my thoughts out there. Thank you and well wishes!

Hello, your recent edits to Ottawa Rowing Club constitute a drastic change, and in my opinion they have significantly vandalized/harmed the article. Respectfully, it is clear that you lack information about the subject of the article. For context, I am an active member of the Ottawa Rowing Club.
You cited WP:EL. Per my edit summary here, I had initiated the proper referencing format for the list of names; the rest was going to be added later. As for your removal of the list of names by citing WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I will point to WP:SOURCELIST and WP:LISTPEOPLE to reinforce the following position: the vast majority of the people on that list already have stand-alone articles about them, meaning their notability has already been established. As for those less notable people in the list (e.g., those without an article), they may be included per WP:LISTPEOPLE, which states "In a few cases, such as lists of people holding notable positions, the names of non-notable people may be included in a list that is largely made up of notable people, for the sake of completeness."
As for sources, there exist multiple reliable sources which link the vast majority of the names to the Ottawa Rowing Club, it's just that it's a cumbersome task and will require several hours in order to properly format the sources. For example, Alanna Fogarty, while not notable enough to have her own article, can easily be verified as being part of the ORC by looking here (page 16, 2:30 PM race), and her participation at the 2016 and 2018 World University Rowing Championships can be verified here. This is just one example. The dozens of other names can almost all be verified by similar means as being connected to the Ottawa Rowing Club, and their participation in the international events in question has already been proven using the World Rowing website. Additionally, there is an Alumni Search feature on the Ottawa Rowing Club's website, which can be used to verify the names.
In summary, I request/propose that a consensus be reached regarding the specific inclusion criteria for the list, such as restricting it to alumni only. As well, while I recognize that the article in its state before your edits was far from perfect (and I agree with some of your cleanup edits such as tidying wording and removing overlinking), your edits regarding content removal went too far. For this reason, I believe a more measured approach is warranted; one where consesus is reached before any drastic changes are unilaterally undertaken. You included a userbox on your user page stating that you're polite. I believe I've been courteous in my criticism, per WP:AGF; I'm hoping you will respond in kind. Thank you.

I just thought I'd let you know that I finally replaced everything I had blanked out on the Maine House of Representatives article (the old information was out-of-date with the convening of the new Legislature, and the districts (and particularly the district numbers) had totally changed). You had asked me on December 11 to revert that. I had gotten the names, municipalities of residence and party affiliations added on December 12, but I hadn't gotten the year elected and year term-limited added until this evening. But it's there now. Thanks for not reverting, as there was a lot of stuff I had done in my December 8-9 edits that I'm glad I didn't have to redo or try to go to an old version of the article to salvage. Kevin Lamoreau ( talk) 04:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Prior to colonization, the Northern Paiute people were nomadic, so basically everywhere they stayed was seasonally. That does not take away from its significance. It was returned to year after year and continues to be the site of annual celebrations to this day. It is also just incorrect to say they only inhabited one small part of the area, as my recently-added citations show.
If you still believe that information about this is not relevant for the lead paragraph (not even the lead sentence), please explain why here.

Good morning, Magnolia677,
You recently undid my revision, revision 1131663295, on the page for Raymond, New Hampshire. The revision specifically outlined the New Hampshire Fence Company. Your note asked what the revision had to do with the town of Raymond, and I’d just hope to clarify so I’ll be able to add it back with hopefully no issue.
The New Hampshire Fence Company was, for its entire run, a Raymond-based company, as well as the biggest fence installation company in all of New Hampshire for most of the 1940s-1980s. Specifically, Raymond is where Frank J. Mafera, the inventor of chain link fence weaving, lived and patented his method. Earlier this year, the state of New Hampshire installed an official New Hampshire Historical Marker in Raymond commemorating the importance of the company and Mafera’s invention. Alongside the photographs from my own personal collection that I have added to this revision as sources, I hope this will be a valuable resource for people trying to understand either the history of chain link fencing in America or New Hampshire/Raymond’s industrial and engineering history.
Please let me know if there are any issues related to this revision and I’ll be glad to help amend! BakedintheHole ( talk) 15:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I see you got into a debate with other users over Nina Hartley's contributions, career history and association with sex positive feminism.

Through out the 2nd wave of feminism there was a thing called the feminist porn wars. The focal issue of such debate was whether feminism supported or disapproved of porn and sex work. Nina Hartley was at the forefront of the debate. She was mentioned in several articles and played a role in this debate. She is called a feminist by many people and she considers her self a feminist.

I just noticed a photo of a bank in the BNC Bank and the history says you added it. Considering the bank that the article is about was started in 1991, a photo from 1974 surely is irrelevant. However, there are two options. You could find out if there is enough information on the bank that the photo represents for Wikipedia to have an article on that bank, or perhaps the bank in the photo was taken over by another bank which has an article and maybe that information could go there.
I was going to suggest discussing the addition of details of that other bank to the article where the photo was, but the title of that article is BNC Bank, so even if there could be consensus, it wouldn't work there.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
To Magnolia677,
Why are you reverting my edits that included more historical US presidential election results for some New York State counties? The sources for the figures are provided within the "self-published source" that I gave in the edit description (not self-published by me, I might add), including source links to historical newspapers of the time at nyshistoricnewspapers.org. Most US states on the spreadsheet lack such detailed electoral results information from around the time of the civil war and before, and so no figures are included on the list. However, New York State's counties are all included in the spreadsheet dating back to 1828.
I don't understand why you revert my edits that include these election results, which would have broadened the list of results that was already included on the wikipedia pages. Really strange. 79.66.109.207 ( talk) 22:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi Magnolia677, I wanted to stop by to check-in as to why you have deleted the section I have been working on for the past few hours in relation to the artistic installations at Claridge's? I believe I had well sourced my contributions and now see that you have chosen to delete without discussion. I'm sure you can imagine why a fellow contributor might appreciate being notified of such a large deletion. I see the edit summary was written as "done" which doesn't indicate summarise the edit very well. I'd appreciate understanding why the decision was taken to remove the work to better my contributions in future. Happy editing! Jo Jc Jo Talk💬 Edits📝 16:30, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello. The edit that I made was just reverting the article to the previous edit since someone deleted accurate information. The major transportation information that was deleted from "Detroit" and "Chicago" is also listed in the Wikipedia infoboxes of "New York City", "Los Angeles", etc. and appears to have been there for years. I didn't originally add that information. So I believe that my editing was constructive. Where does it say that information shouldn't be there? T Yorke ( talk) 04:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Magnolia677!
With regard to your editing of Maganese, Minnesota, understand this is a Feature Article, having gone through multiple review processes. I know Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, and I have no way of knowing whether or not you have written any Featured Articles, but Wikipedia defines them as such: No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible.
My goal in writing articles about ghost towns is two-fold: First, to honor those people who lived in the community, and second, to ensure ALL of the available information can be sourced in one place. Much information related to the (former) communities I write about are not available online: they require trips to the state archives at the Minnesota Historical Society, trips to county historical societies (in this case, Crow Wing County, Minnesota) in addition to regional historical societies (like the Cuyuna Iron Range Heritage Network), public libraries, university libraries and site visits. It takes years before I have all of the available information.
In reviewing your user profile, I can see you are very active with over 129,000 edits since you joined Wikipedia in 2012, so you must have ample time on your hands. I have a business to run and other non-profits I am involved with, so time for me is a luxury. I compose my articles in the sandbox until I feel the article is ready to be migrated to the main page (so it goes out as one big edit) and once there, request a copy edit from Jonesey 95 before placing them out for peer review. The paragraph about the Cuyuna Iron Range stratigraphy was written based on previous comments by Finetooth during the FAR for a different featured article: you learn a lot by going through the rigorous review process, and I was proactive in providing a paragraph on stratigraphy here. Mining is a big deal in Minnesota, so apparently the reviewers felt that a discussion of stratigraphy to be relevant. During the peer review process for this article, Ruhrfisch requested the inclusion of both a photograph for the Geology section as well as a stratigraphic map (which I had released to the public domain from the Minnesota Geological Survey just for this artcile). Ruhrfisch also had a previous working relationship with the late Brianboulton, who had assisted me previously in FAR.
When you gut an article like this, your are depriving the reader who may be looking for the comprehensive information previously stated by removing reliably sourced information as well. You are also removing content that had been requested by previous reviewers who helped elevate the article to this level (which suggests to me you are blindly editing without reviewing the previous reviewers comments). Ironically, when I first put this article out for peer review, I contacted my original mentor John from Idegon to ask him what had happened to his very capable friend, Coal town guy since I valued his opinion. The response I recieved was that CTG had left Wikipedia over the same issue: a bunch of his articles were gutted. I hope it was not you, but he did mention on his talk page that both he and CTG were familiar with who you were. It seems at this point John from Idegon has been permanently banned from Wikipedia as well: I don't know why and I'm not privy to such information. I know he was having health issues, but I'm sure the Admins had reasons they found it necessary to take such a drastic step.
At this point I am debating on whether or not the article should be locked and reassessed since your deletions of material suggested by previous reviewers (in potentially wanting to make this an edit war) may no lonqer qualify Maganese, Minnesota as a Featured Article. In reviewing you CURRENT talk page, there seem to be many issues with your "habit of removing relevant, neutrally-phrased, reliably-sourced material" cited by other users, in addition to four requests for dispute resolution. I have been too busy writing my next article Withrow, Minnesota to deal with your previous edits to Manganese, Minnesota until now. If you want to make yourself useful, please, by all means, go out to Peer Review and make suggestions, and I will either comply with your requests or defend my position, but leave the copy editing to Jonesey 95. Otherwise, if you want your name associated with a Featured Article, may I suggest, with no disrespect intended, that you go out there and promote one for yourself.

Hello Magnolia, hope all is well with you and yours. I think you may have made a mistake on the Cochiti, New Mexico article by removing the native name for Cochiti. Several of the Pueblos in New Mexico are reverting to the native names, and I think we should respect their traditions. (For example, Santo Domingo Pueblo is known as Kewa, and San Juan Pueblo is now known as Ohkay Owingeh, etc.) On the Cochiti Pueblo's official website, it states the native name is: ko-tyīt' in Keresan (which is the language spoken by the Cochiti people along with English and some Spanish). See here: [2]. Let me know what you think. Netherzone ( talk) 22:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

The Yorkdale-Glen Park neighbourhood boundaries only enscapulate part of the "Glen Park neighbourhood" (west of the Allen Expressway). The "neighbourhood" itself is not recognized by its locals (myself included) and other Torontonians unlike nearby [Lawrence Manor], [Lawrence Heights], or [Forest Hill]. Due to [WP:NOR], we can't make up a neighbourhood uncorroborated by secondary sources.
If we used relatively obscure official neighbourhoods, the well-known Lawrence Heights would have to be deleted. In conclusion, we are in quandary. The information about the area should be kept, but the question is where.
Please note this is my first deletion nomination. If I'm unaware of a certain solution, please propose it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FortUser ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
The definition of what constitutes a ghost town has been a subject of debate:
The definition of a ghost town varies between individuals, and between cultures. Some writers discount settlements that were abandoned as a result of a natural or human-made disaster or other causes using the term only to describe settlements that were deserted because they were no longer economically viable; T. Lindsey Baker, author of Ghost Towns of Texas, defines a ghost town as "a town for which the reason for being no longer exists". Some believe that any settlement with visible tangible remains should not be called a ghost town; others say, conversely, that a ghost town should contain the tangible remains of buildings. Whether or not the settlement must be completely deserted, or may contain a small population, is also a matter for debate. Generally, though, the term is used in a looser sense, encompassing any and all of these definitions. American author Lambert Florin's defined a ghost town as "a shadowy semblance of a former self".
Also, at least one reference refers to Withrow as a ghost town: [1]
Because the definition as to what constitutes a ghost town is a subject of debate (in my view it fits the description), I am willing to let this one go. Thank you for looking at it, though. We'll get back to Manganese, Minnesota when I have the time to devote to it (I see you've gutted that even further). DrGregMN ( talk) 14:59, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

While some reverts you made kind of make sense, you gave no reason as to why you removed the interactive map that I added. And your reasons are extremely vague. The "One of the photos you added was of a ship in the middle of Long Island Sound.' is quite literally the iconic Bridgeport-Port Jefferson ferry. Please have some consideration to how Bridgeporters can feel about boats in their respective city as I could have recognized it from a mile away. You may also want to question New York City's infobox with a similar image of a ferry. This kind of pushing on straws illustrates a sense of over-exerting yourself in this situation.

Hey man, iv'e noticed a pattern in which you seem to be trying to revert various edits iv'e made, nearly all of them about lead images. It almost feels targeted, since no one else has seemed to revert my edits over similar reasons this continuously for nearly a year.

It appears that awhile back you edited several Kansas city/town articles. Problem is that you erroneously added "ref name="GNIS"/" to the FIPS Code section.

Thanks, Vsmith ( talk) 20:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
1) Per this , at the following I haven't seen any discussion or mandate for the removal of FIPS codes from every community infobox. Even if FIPS codes are going obsolete, it doesn't mean the number will be removed from historical documents, archives, or from the entire internet.
2) Per this , I haven't seen any discussions or mandates that all GNIS codes must be changed from "populated place" to "civil". A benefit of the "populated place" entries is they include the FIPS number, which means it can be used as a reference for the FIPS field too. I think originally all commmunity articles used the "populated place entries from the GNIS.
3) Per this , I haven't seen any discussions or mandates that must use " Template:GNIS" instead of " Template:cite gnis2".
4) Per this , I haven't seen anything that suggests that uppercase "GNIS" is an invalid reference name.
5) Per this other , I'm haven't seen discussions or mandates that "Census Designated Place" must be used instead of "Unincorporated community" in the settlement_type field and intro. A CDP isn't the same as an Unincorporated Community, thus it was a major failure on whom ever first started using this as the primary way to describe these communities. If you look at CDP census maps, they are almost always much larger than their tiny CDP communities... some CDP maps are 1 or 2 miles wide, but the communities were never that big. The demographics section at Harris,_Kansas#Demographics had a sentence about CDP thus the topic was covered. I agree the my wording in the demographics section should be expanded to clarify it, but that is a side issue.
6) An side note, another user is plowing through articles removing states from the infobox name field, which is also wrong, see this .

@ Sbmeirow: I'm dealing with a similar issue at Madison (town), Wisconsin, where an editor has been adding "Town of" to articles and the infoboxes. Is there a consensus someplace that "Placename, State" must be added to US city infoboxes? WP:USPLACE says to use "Placename, State", and WP:COMMONNAME says to use the common name...but both these policies deal with article titles.
Also, Template:Infobox settlement suggests avoiding the "official_name" parameter, and instead add the "usual name in English" to the "name" parameter. But nearly every article uses the official name parameter. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 17:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, you just reversed (again) new edits to the El Cerrito, CA page. I have tried twice to update the Government section with both relevant information that pertains to the Government (similar to other city pages that describe the government structure of the city) as well as update information on the City's State Audit report to replace out-of-date information that no longer reflects the current situation of the City. All information was sourced and cited with documentation from the State Auditor and the City's independent auditor to back up the text. The text currently under this section a) does not describe the government of the City and only references one issue; and b) the State Auditor information as written was accurate two years ago, but does not reflect the current position of the City. The information that was revised is directly from City staff and again is backed by documentation. Please reverse the reverted edits and leave the new, accurate, sourced information in place so that the page reflects the current situation of the City.

It makes the other editors very uncomfortable and makes the site unfair to them, like just be a little more lenient to other editors and make them feel welcome, because you just remove content because it's unsourced.

I am curious what specifically you found objection to in my edits. The links to the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Washington-on-the-Brazos Historical Site?

Magnolia 677, the relevant information about Miles City's September 1972 snowfall is in the second sentence under the Precipitation heading, below the map on Page 1.

Miles City has only about a 50% chance of a September freeze, but when winter does strike early or strike back late it can deal nasty surprises to those who aren't ready.

Some of us here at the Pekin Public Library reverted a few of your recent edits to the Pekin IL article, including the section on the Native peoples who lived in and near Pekin at and soon after the time when white settlement began in the 1820s that led in a few years to Pekin's founding. Since these peoples were the first to live in what became Pekin, their story is a part of Pekin's story, especially since Pekin's pioneers had dealings with many of them. It is important that those who lived in what became Pekin are acknowledged and not erased from our history.
Our city is now preparing to celebrate a bicentennial in 2024, which is 200 years since the arrival of Jonathan Tharp. Therefore Ia and others hope our city's Wikipedia article can be improved, since it really needs it. I appreciate your interest in our city and in improving the Wikipedia article, but ask that you not delete any chapter of our history, not even Pekin's "prehistory." You are unfortunately mistaken that none of the Native peoples mentions lived within Pekin's geographic boundaries. Some lived just outside or on the boundaries (such as the 1830s camp on the south shores of Pekin Lake, which was on the north edge of Pekin's Lakeside Cemetery, the city's oldest and largest extant cemetery), but the Pottawatomi village on the ridge along Pekin Lake was entirely within Pekin's boundaries, in northwest Pekin. So too was Shabbona's camp circa 1830 which was immediately south of Broadway and near Front Street (alone Pekin's river front).

Please consider reading the edits of the IP to Oakville Trafalgar High School. It was blatant vandalism calling the teacher a “man” and saying the backlash was deserved.

Hi Magnolia677, I saw that you removed an image from Randolph, New Hampshire, saying "none of this is located in Randolph". I did not create that image, but I think that both the viewpoint (Mt. Crescent) and everything shown between there and the bottom parts of the mountains (including the stretch of Rt. 2) is officially in the town of Randolph. Do you agree? Thank you for your other edits of this page. Ebony Jackson ( talk) 18:39, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
Why did you revert my edit on assumption Illinois? I added a source at the bottom under references. The information regarding Canada is incorrect and is listed as such on the city of assumption website, which ai added and you deleted. The city in Canada was not formed until long after the city in Illinois. The parish was founded in 1807. The person who changed the name is buried in Assumption and the rest of his family is buried in Louisiana. Rather than flagging it, you deleted it. Why?

I restored the the Lake's being largest in Essex County that you had reverted, but with an unimpeachable source where previously the "largest" assertion was unsourced. Perhaps that's why you reverted. Larry Koenigsberg ( talk) 16:06, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
I see where you reverted (basically) every edit I've made to the Cass Scenic Railroad wiki. While some of it was conferred to me by their mechanical team and can be removed in the notes column, you also removed several rows of the table that can easily be seen from Cass's website from a simple web search. These are locomotives that are owned by the railroad and it is listed on multiple sites. It would be nice if I did not have to retype of all of that and remake that table.

Can you explain why you felt it necessary to move the historical census data to the History section instead of Demographics? Nearly every other US city has a single-column right-justified table of the decennial census in the Demographics section. But you're insisting on a 5 column version in the History section for Providence? I'm confused by your reasoning, because you haven't left any.

Yes, I'm familiar with the Ellwood Oil Field area, so the article is on my watchlist, and Tom Modugno publishes a lot of very good local research on his Goleta History blog. He's correct that the Japanese commander story is a local myth. It's a small town, and longtime residents with an interest in the area often know more than many of the mainstream sources, so it's good to pay attention when folks dispute what's in the Wikipedia articles - and help them rework their contributions to fit Wikipedia's guidelines, instead of rejecting them. I'll help with that part. Dreamyshade ( talk) 18:56, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
You made an edit which was to undo edits on the Walker Art Center page, claiming that they were simply "artistic babble from a primary source of artistic babble" I would argue that both facts that I added made improvements to the page as a whole. There is no reason that there should not be more information about both the 2005 building and the conflict in 2017, this information is relevant and would improve reader's understandings of the history of the Walker as a whole. The sources are reliable and the information is accurate, and placed accurately. I would appreciate if you would undo your edit, and put my facts back in place.

Hello @ Magnolia677. I have a question about the Minneapolis article and the Minnesota article. You seem to be the right person to ask in terms of experience and interest. I am reaching out since I am not a registered editor (who can’t edit protected pages (or their talk pages) for that reason).
For Minneapolis —> the “DFL has held a majority of Council seats there for 50 years” in the 5th paragraph reads very awkwardly and comes across as confusing rather than helpful. Should it be adjusted to talk about the city being known as a national center of progressive politics? (The rest of the state is moderate and Minneapolis has been in the news for its progressive leanings). I was thinking that may be much more informative to readers when talking about politics. It also seems to say it is the largest city twice (but I may be misreading). You do what you think is best for that article opening.
For Minnesota —> unlike other states’ pages, it does not talk about what states and Canadian provinces it is near. Also the part about “more recent decades….” near the end is quite a jumble to read. As a result, its purpose in the opening comes across as lost. Attack that opening section as you see fit.
Very much thanks for your help. I would do it myself if I was a registered editor! —- Grebbgy88 ( talk) 15:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I'm new to this thing, and only really made this account to put up information on a Proposed freeway that eventually resulted in the construction of Welcome Way. The reason I saw it fit was because had the freeway been built, it would have been important, and its direct correlation to the one-way system of Brady St. and Harrison St./Welcome Way. Also the idea of something that could have changed the landscape of Davenport not being mentioned really anywhere online aside from a blurb in a blogpost is just kind of sad. Anyways I won't undo your edit or go against it or anything, just wanted my thoughts out there. Thank you and well wishes!

Hello, your recent edits to Ottawa Rowing Club constitute a drastic change, and in my opinion they have significantly vandalized/harmed the article. Respectfully, it is clear that you lack information about the subject of the article. For context, I am an active member of the Ottawa Rowing Club.
You cited WP:EL. Per my edit summary here, I had initiated the proper referencing format for the list of names; the rest was going to be added later. As for your removal of the list of names by citing WP:NOTDIRECTORY, I will point to WP:SOURCELIST and WP:LISTPEOPLE to reinforce the following position: the vast majority of the people on that list already have stand-alone articles about them, meaning their notability has already been established. As for those less notable people in the list (e.g., those without an article), they may be included per WP:LISTPEOPLE, which states "In a few cases, such as lists of people holding notable positions, the names of non-notable people may be included in a list that is largely made up of notable people, for the sake of completeness."
As for sources, there exist multiple reliable sources which link the vast majority of the names to the Ottawa Rowing Club, it's just that it's a cumbersome task and will require several hours in order to properly format the sources. For example, Alanna Fogarty, while not notable enough to have her own article, can easily be verified as being part of the ORC by looking here (page 16, 2:30 PM race), and her participation at the 2016 and 2018 World University Rowing Championships can be verified here. This is just one example. The dozens of other names can almost all be verified by similar means as being connected to the Ottawa Rowing Club, and their participation in the international events in question has already been proven using the World Rowing website. Additionally, there is an Alumni Search feature on the Ottawa Rowing Club's website, which can be used to verify the names.
In summary, I request/propose that a consensus be reached regarding the specific inclusion criteria for the list, such as restricting it to alumni only. As well, while I recognize that the article in its state before your edits was far from perfect (and I agree with some of your cleanup edits such as tidying wording and removing overlinking), your edits regarding content removal went too far. For this reason, I believe a more measured approach is warranted; one where consesus is reached before any drastic changes are unilaterally undertaken. You included a userbox on your user page stating that you're polite. I believe I've been courteous in my criticism, per WP:AGF; I'm hoping you will respond in kind. Thank you.

The Crossroads gay bar was an integral part of rural gay life in east central Mississippi and one of the only prominent businesses in Savoy. I have given the only web source I could find, along with a link to a wiki page for the literal movie that was made about the bar. Your continuous editing on pages that I, myself, have created is feeling a bit targeted; according to your talk page, I'm not the only one thinking that.

I just thought I'd let you know that I finally replaced everything I had blanked out on the Maine House of Representatives article (the old information was out-of-date with the convening of the new Legislature, and the districts (and particularly the district numbers) had totally changed). You had asked me on December 11 to revert that. I had gotten the names, municipalities of residence and party affiliations added on December 12, but I hadn't gotten the year elected and year term-limited added until this evening. But it's there now. Thanks for not reverting, as there was a lot of stuff I had done in my December 8-9 edits that I'm glad I didn't have to redo or try to go to an old version of the article to salvage. Kevin Lamoreau ( talk) 04:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
Prior to colonization, the Northern Paiute people were nomadic, so basically everywhere they stayed was seasonally. That does not take away from its significance. It was returned to year after year and continues to be the site of annual celebrations to this day. It is also just incorrect to say they only inhabited one small part of the area, as my recently-added citations show.
If you still believe that information about this is not relevant for the lead paragraph (not even the lead sentence), please explain why here.

Good morning, Magnolia677,
You recently undid my revision, revision 1131663295, on the page for Raymond, New Hampshire. The revision specifically outlined the New Hampshire Fence Company. Your note asked what the revision had to do with the town of Raymond, and I’d just hope to clarify so I’ll be able to add it back with hopefully no issue.
The New Hampshire Fence Company was, for its entire run, a Raymond-based company, as well as the biggest fence installation company in all of New Hampshire for most of the 1940s-1980s. Specifically, Raymond is where Frank J. Mafera, the inventor of chain link fence weaving, lived and patented his method. Earlier this year, the state of New Hampshire installed an official New Hampshire Historical Marker in Raymond commemorating the importance of the company and Mafera’s invention. Alongside the photographs from my own personal collection that I have added to this revision as sources, I hope this will be a valuable resource for people trying to understand either the history of chain link fencing in America or New Hampshire/Raymond’s industrial and engineering history.
Please let me know if there are any issues related to this revision and I’ll be glad to help amend! BakedintheHole ( talk) 15:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

I see you got into a debate with other users over Nina Hartley's contributions, career history and association with sex positive feminism.

Through out the 2nd wave of feminism there was a thing called the feminist porn wars. The focal issue of such debate was whether feminism supported or disapproved of porn and sex work. Nina Hartley was at the forefront of the debate. She was mentioned in several articles and played a role in this debate. She is called a feminist by many people and she considers her self a feminist. Her porn is different than the likes of Sasha Grey or PinkXXX. She wrote several books and supports sex education. When it comes to sex positive feminism or the feminist porn wars Nina Hartley has an opinion that is valued higher than your average American woman. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moderateasneeded ( talk • contribs) 21:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
I just noticed a photo of a bank in the BNC Bank and the history says you added it. Considering the bank that the article is about was started in 1991, a photo from 1974 surely is irrelevant. However, there are two options. You could find out if there is enough information on the bank that the photo represents for Wikipedia to have an article on that bank, or perhaps the bank in the photo was taken over by another bank which has an article and maybe that information could go there.
I was going to suggest discussing the addition of details of that other bank to the article where the photo was, but the title of that article is BNC Bank, so even if there could be consensus, it wouldn't work there.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
To Magnolia677,
Why are you reverting my edits that included more historical US presidential election results for some New York State counties? The sources for the figures are provided within the "self-published source" that I gave in the edit description (not self-published by me, I might add), including source links to historical newspapers of the time at nyshistoricnewspapers.org. Most US states on the spreadsheet lack such detailed electoral results information from around the time of the civil war and before, and so no figures are included on the list. However, New York State's counties are all included in the spreadsheet dating back to 1828.
I don't understand why you revert my edits that include these election results, which would have broadened the list of results that was already included on the wikipedia pages. Really strange. 79.66.109.207 ( talk) 22:54, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. The edit that I made was just reverting the article to the previous edit since someone deleted accurate information. The major transportation information that was deleted from "Detroit" and "Chicago" is also listed in the Wikipedia infoboxes of "New York City", "Los Angeles", etc. and appears to have been there for years. I didn't originally add that information. So I believe that my editing was constructive. Where does it say that information shouldn't be there? T Yorke ( talk) 04:32, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Magnolia677!
With regard to your editing of Maganese, Minnesota, understand this is a Feature Article, having gone through multiple review processes. I know Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, and I have no way of knowing whether or not you have written any Featured Articles, but Wikipedia defines them as such: No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible.
My goal in writing articles about ghost towns is two-fold: First, to honor those people who lived in the community, and second, to ensure ALL of the available information can be sourced in one place. Much information related to the (former) communities I write about are not available online: they require trips to the state archives at the Minnesota Historical Society, trips to county historical societies (in this case, Crow Wing County, Minnesota) in addition to regional historical societies (like the Cuyuna Iron Range Heritage Network), public libraries, university libraries and site visits. It takes years before I have all of the available information.
In reviewing your user profile, I can see you are very active with over 129,000 edits since you joined Wikipedia in 2012, so you must have ample time on your hands. I have a business to run and other non-profits I am involved with, so time for me is a luxury. I compose my articles in the sandbox until I feel the article is ready to be migrated to the main page (so it goes out as one big edit) and once there, request a copy edit from Jonesey 95 before placing them out for peer review. The paragraph about the Cuyuna Iron Range stratigraphy was written based on previous comments by Finetooth during the FAR for a different featured article: you learn a lot by going through the rigorous review process, and I was proactive in providing a paragraph on stratigraphy here. Mining is a big deal in Minnesota, so apparently the reviewers felt that a discussion of stratigraphy to be relevant. During the peer review process for this article, Ruhrfisch requested the inclusion of both a photograph for the Geology section as well as a stratigraphic map (which I had released to the public domain from the Minnesota Geological Survey just for this artcile). Ruhrfisch also had a previous working relationship with the late Brianboulton, who had assisted me previously in FAR.
When you gut an article like this, your are depriving the reader who may be looking for the comprehensive information previously stated by removing reliably sourced information as well. You are also removing content that had been requested by previous reviewers who helped elevate the article to this level (which suggests to me you are blindly editing without reviewing the previous reviewers comments). Ironically, when I first put this article out for peer review, I contacted my original mentor John from Idegon to ask him what had happened to his very capable friend, Coal town guy since I valued his opinion. The response I recieved was that CTG had left Wikipedia over the same issue: a bunch of his articles were gutted. I hope it was not you, but he did mention on his talk page that both he and CTG were familiar with who you were. It seems at this point John from Idegon has been permanently banned from Wikipedia as well: I don't know why and I'm not privy to such information. I know he was having health issues, but I'm sure the Admins had reasons they found it necessary to take such a drastic step.
At this point I am debating on whether or not the article should be locked and reassessed since your deletions of material suggested by previous reviewers (in potentially wanting to make this an edit war) may no lonqer qualify Maganese, Minnesota as a Featured Article. In reviewing you CURRENT talk page, there seem to be many issues with your "habit of removing relevant, neutrally-phrased, reliably-sourced material" cited by other users, in addition to four requests for dispute resolution. I have been too busy writing my next article Withrow, Minnesota to deal with your previous edits to Manganese, Minnesota until now. If you want to make yourself useful, please, by all means, go out to Peer Review and make suggestions, and I will either comply with your requests or defend my position, but leave the copy editing to Jonesey 95. Otherwise, if you want your name associated with a Featured Article, may I suggest, with no disrespect intended, that you go out there and promote one for yourself.

Hello Magnolia, hope all is well with you and yours. I think you may have made a mistake on the Cochiti, New Mexico article by removing the native name for Cochiti. Several of the Pueblos in New Mexico are reverting to the native names, and I think we should respect their traditions. (For example, Santo Domingo Pueblo is known as Kewa, and San Juan Pueblo is now known as Ohkay Owingeh, etc.) On the Cochiti Pueblo's official website, it states the native name is: ko-tyīt' in Keresan (which is the language spoken by the Cochiti people along with English and some Spanish). See here: [2]. Let me know what you think. Netherzone ( talk) 22:28, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
California's recently redrew the state's congressional districts and San Ramon is NOT represented by Nancy Pelosi. The average person would easily know that Pelosi represents San Francisco which is quite a hike from San Ramon, so I don't know where "Pelosi representing San Ramon" comes from. Thanks, and please like, look at the most recent congressional district to find out. Txu139 ( talk) 01:16, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
The Yorkdale-Glen Park neighbourhood boundaries only enscapulate part of the "Glen Park neighbourhood" (west of the Allen Expressway). The "neighbourhood" itself is not recognized by its locals (myself included) and other Torontonians unlike nearby [Lawrence Manor], [Lawrence Heights], or [Forest Hill]. Due to [WP:NOR], we can't make up a neighbourhood uncorroborated by secondary sources.
If we used relatively obscure official neighbourhoods, the well-known Lawrence Heights would have to be deleted. In conclusion, we are in quandary. The information about the area should be kept, but the question is where.
Please note this is my first deletion nomination. If I'm unaware of a certain solution, please propose it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FortUser ( talk • contribs) 15:44, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
The definition of what constitutes a ghost town has been a subject of debate:
The definition of a ghost town varies between individuals, and between cultures. Some writers discount settlements that were abandoned as a result of a natural or human-made disaster or other causes using the term only to describe settlements that were deserted because they were no longer economically viable; T. Lindsey Baker, author of Ghost Towns of Texas, defines a ghost town as "a town for which the reason for being no longer exists". Some believe that any settlement with visible tangible remains should not be called a ghost town; others say, conversely, that a ghost town should contain the tangible remains of buildings. Whether or not the settlement must be completely deserted, or may contain a small population, is also a matter for debate. Generally, though, the term is used in a looser sense, encompassing any and all of these definitions. American author Lambert Florin's defined a ghost town as "a shadowy semblance of a former self".
Also, at least one reference refers to Withrow as a ghost town: [1]
Because the definition as to what constitutes a ghost town is a subject of debate (in my view it fits the description), I am willing to let this one go. Thank you for looking at it, though. We'll get back to Manganese, Minnesota when I have the time to devote to it (I see you've gutted that even further). DrGregMN ( talk) 14:59, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

22:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)Kia ora Magnolia677, I'm happy to add sources, but typically for discography sections sources are seen as unnecessary if any content has its own page (and all these albums/singles have pages). -- Prosperosity ( talk) 22:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
While some reverts you made kind of make sense, you gave no reason as to why you removed the interactive map that I added. And your reasons are extremely vague. The "One of the photos you added was of a ship in the middle of Long Island Sound.' is quite literally the iconic Bridgeport-Port Jefferson ferry. Please have some consideration to how Bridgeporters can feel about boats in their respective city as I could have recognized it from a mile away. You may also want to question New York City's infobox with a similar image of a ferry. This kind of pushing on straws illustrates a sense of over-exerting yourself in this situation.

Hey. I added Jerry Lee Lewis to Nesbit, Mississippi based on sources I had seen, then looked at the history and noticed you had previously removed that from the article. I see a lot of sources that say it was in Nesbit, but you obviously disagree, so I thought I would check in to see your rationale. Thanks in advance. — Jacona ( talk) 16:44, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Hi
I received a message from you saying one/some of my edit(s) have been removed for lacking citation. Which edits are you referring to? Only edits I'm aware of are adding specific names to some radio websites. I was either a listener or en employee at this station(s), so my edit(s) is/are factually based. I'm afraid the link you provided on how to provide a citation was confusing. I'm simply trying to enhance the content on this/these page(s)by providing new and factual information. I was under the impression that this is one of the core foundations of Wiki.

Hey man, iv'e noticed a pattern in which you seem to be trying to revert various edits iv'e made, nearly all of them about lead images. It almost feels targeted, since no one else has seemed to revert my edits over similar reasons this continuously for nearly a year. Also, the reasons tend to be kinda nitpicky from what ive gathered, usually boiling down to things like "too much (blank)".
Could we talk about this? I want to resolve this. Thanks

Hey Magnolia677, I noticed you have removed my cited source's multiple times. Is this a personal issue because you have also pretty much went through the rest of my edits and reverted them. Please inform me why and also what is a "reliable" source since their own website is not. I do not want to be rude in this so do not take it that way, I am just tired of mostly you specifically reverting all of my edits. I understand the ones that are not necessary, but why my cited ones.

It appears that awhile back you edited several Kansas city/town articles. Problem is that you erroneously added "ref name="GNIS"/" to the FIPS Code section. I've fixed the error in the Garnett, Kansas article, but there are several others. Could you review your edits of other articles of that part of Kansas? Thanks, Vsmith ( talk) 20:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
1) Per this , at the following I haven't seen any discussion or mandate for the removal of FIPS codes from every community infobox. Even if FIPS codes are going obsolete, it doesn't mean the number will be removed from historical documents, archives, or from the entire internet.
2) Per this , I haven't seen any discussions or mandates that all GNIS codes must be changed from "populated place" to "civil". A benefit of the "populated place" entries is they include the FIPS number, which means it can be used as a reference for the FIPS field too. I think originally all commmunity articles used the "populated place entries from the GNIS.
3) Per this , I haven't seen any discussions or mandates that must use " Template:GNIS" instead of " Template:cite gnis2".
4) Per this , I haven't seen anything that suggests that uppercase "GNIS" is an invalid reference name.
5) Per this other , I'm haven't seen discussions or mandates that "Census Designated Place" must be used instead of "Unincorporated community" in the settlement_type field and intro. A CDP isn't the same as an Unincorporated Community, thus it was a major failure on whom ever first started using this as the primary way to describe these communities. If you look at CDP census maps, they are almost always much larger than their tiny CDP communities... some CDP maps are 1 or 2 miles wide, but the communities were never that big. The demographics section at Harris,_Kansas#Demographics had a sentence about CDP thus the topic was covered. I agree the my wording in the demographics section should be expanded to clarify it, but that is a side issue.
6) An side note, another user is plowing through articles removing states from the infobox name field, which is also wrong, see this .

@ Sbmeirow: I'm dealing with a similar issue at Madison (town), Wisconsin, where an editor has been adding "Town of" to articles and the infoboxes. Is there a consensus someplace that "Placename, State" must be added to US city infoboxes? WP:USPLACE says to use "Placename, State", and WP:COMMONNAME says to use the common name...but both these policies deal with article titles.
Also, Template:Infobox settlement suggests avoiding the "official_name" parameter, and instead add the "usual name in English" to the "name" parameter. But nearly every article uses the official name parameter. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 17:10, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, you just reversed (again) new edits to the El Cerrito, CA page. I have tried twice to update the Government section with both relevant information that pertains to the Government (similar to other city pages that describe the government structure of the city) as well as update information on the City's State Audit report to replace out-of-date information that no longer reflects the current situation of the City. All information was sourced and cited with documentation from the State Auditor and the City's independent auditor to back up the text. The text currently under this section a) does not describe the government of the City and only references one issue; and b) the State Auditor information as written was accurate two years ago, but does not reflect the current position of the City. The information that was revised is directly from City staff and again is backed by documentation. Please reverse the reverted edits and leave the new, accurate, sourced information in place so that the page reflects the current situation of the City.

Not trying to give you a hard time, but someone who wrestles for the main promotion in the U.S. and is seen on a major network in prime time every week is notable just via the nature of the beast.

I notice that you are WAY too strict on Wikipedia. It makes the other editors very uncomfortable and makes the site unfair to them, like just be a little more lenient to other editors and make them feel welcome, because you just remove content because it's unsourced. Not everything has to be sourced, and people are welcome to use their own words. It's completely ridiculous that you do this. Good day. DENBRO1995 ( talk) 21:29, 12 April 2023 (UTC) I agree 100%.

I made the edits I did to the Brenham, Texas article for a couple of reasons. The main one is that while it is true that the county that Brenham, Texas is the seat of is famous for being the place where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed, the city itself was not known for this.
I am curious what specifically you found objection to in my edits. The links to the Texas Declaration of Independence and the Washington-on-the-Brazos Historical Site? The removal of the word "also" from what Brenham is famous for. Did I make it too wordy? Thank you for your time. 2013creek ( talk) 23:29, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Magnolia 677, the relevant information about Miles City's September 1972 snowfall is in the second sentence under the Precipitation heading, below the map on Page 1. The information I added does not bloat the article and should be included. Miles City has only about a 50% chance of a September freeze, but when winter does strike early or strike back late it can deal nasty surprises to those who aren't ready. Persons who use Wikipedia as an information source in preparation for a Miles City move should have information about the potential for disruptive spring and fall weather.

Hello, we have collaborated together in the past on a few articles, and I have a favor to ask. If you could please take a quick look at Sugarmill Woods, Florida for me, as a "semi peer review"? The editor that added a large amount of the content does not believe in WP:RS (or many of the other policies here, it seems) has previously stated that (paraphrasing) part of the goal of the article is to provide information to prospective residents, and I have tried to clean it up, but I'm afraid half of it looks like promotional material to me. I would appreciate it if someone a little more knowledgeable on CITIES could give it a once over to see just how much is encyclopedic, and how much is just extraneous trivial content.
