Hi, would like to know why my edit of Kai Campos was removed. All information provided was pertinent and referenced. Rmenon18 ( talk) 09:11, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Apologies, it seems that I made a mistake. I will remove the warning on your page, thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 23:15, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi SunDawn,

You just sent a message to 108.29.18.127. That was my old IP address. The person I believe you want is the one above mine on that revision page, 69.130.165.18 I also saw that they deleted something for no reason. I'm guessing I should revert it, not sure what the person was thinking.

Any problems, please let me know. I may log out soon.

Regards, John Bringingthewood ( talk) 05:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Yes, it seems that I send the message to the wrong IP. I don't know why it happened, the message is correct about removing maintenance template, but somehow I send it to the wrong IP. Thanks for the correction. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 06:10, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem at all. I reverted it, and hopefully they'll leave it alone.

Well, maybe we'll meet up again. Bye for now. Bringingthewood ( talk) 06:21, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Everyculture.com/Russia-Eurasia-China/Kurds-Religion-and-Expressive-Culture.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by LionAjk ( talk • contribs) 23:08, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello LionAjk, as you are the one that is changing the status quo, the first thing is that the onus is on you to provide the source that the material is incorrect. On the other hand, as I didn't find the sourcing for the original material, I propose to remove the religion info, as it seems that there is no reliable source for that. The source that you provided didn't have any information regarding the Kurds in Germany, not to mention that it is listed on Wikipedia global blacklist. What do you think? ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 23:13, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Sure either remove it or find a source but it makes sense kurds in germany to be muslim and yazidism as its mostly the faith they follow — Preceding unsigned comment added by LionAjk ( talk • contribs) 23:15, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Understandable, we expected that diasporas would have similar religion makeup with their origin, but it can't be verified and it should not be on Wikipedia. Per our consensus, I will remove the whole mention of religion. Thanks ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 23:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello 120.21.39.247!

How would you like me to verify this information? 120.21.39.247 ( talk) 14:17, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello Breakingbattlegrounds! Hopefully you have a nice day today. External links to sites that are not adding much knowledge to the topic on hand are considered inappropriate, and the link to your site is such link, thus it is inappropriate. If you want to read further guidelines about external links, the guideline is WP:EL. Furthermore, if you are editing with a conflict of interest, you must declare your conflict of interest per WP:COI. If you have any more questions, please do ask!

Will you vote for Trump in 2024? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.120.64.25 ( talk) 14:41, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I am here to ask for advice.

You are one of the people who has accepted the articles I have been creating in the last few months under the Metropolitan Routes in Pretoria Category, such as the M10 (Pretoria) article. Now, I have been adding "Route" sections to each and every article but on some (not all) articles, the Route section would be totally erased by a different editor because the content is "Uncited Material".

If I have to cite each & every paragraph describing a route from start to finish, which websites would be best to use? Would it be alright to use websites such as OpenStreetMap and Google Maps?

I have noticed this tendency of some editors to remove the "Route" section from recently-created road articles (such as the M6 (Pretoria) article) because it constitutes "Uncited Material" while leaving older articles which are in the same situation (such as the M11 (Johannesburg) article) untouched! Is this fair?

Thanks. Chils Kemptonian ( talk) 20:32, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

The best source I can think of is using your state's transportation maps such as this one or this one. I don't think that Google Maps or OpenStreet Map could be used as a reliable source. Thanks. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 20:40, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm really sorry but Korolov is Ukrainian, I can send you proofs about it (card for entering Kyiv Polytechnic Institute written by his hand) so we should translate his name with Ukrainian transliteration. Now we have a war with russians and this war is also cultural. We, Ukrainians, are trying to save not only our lives but also our culture, language and so on. So, please, stop correct his page in Wikipedia with russian transliteration. I know it was written in his biography by Harvard scientist but it was in 1997 so it isn't up-to-date now. Ana Serhiivna ( talk) 22:38, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@ Ana Serhiivna: First of all, this discussion belongs in Talk:Sergei Korolev, not here. Second, Wikipedia has rules which you can't just buck against without discussion. Please click on and read the blue links in my next paragraph.

If what you say is true, Wikipedia has standards of WP:VERIFIABILITY which we achieve by citing WP:RELIABLE SOURCES in the articles. Your personal knowledge, or documents in your posession, aren't good enough; they must be published. (We call this WP:No original research.) If the state of art of Korolev's biography has changed and it is academically accepted that he is Ukranian not Russian, you should be able to find and cite such sources. You need to discuss changes this radical to get WP:CONSENSUS. If consensus to change is reached, then logically the article should be moved to the Ukranian name. But this has to be widely accepted academically (should be neutral, non-Ukranian or Russian).

Ukrane is getting a raw deal from Russia's war crimes and you have our sympathy, but please do not fight your civil war on the pages of Wikipedia. JustinTime55 ( talk) 23:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello! As what JustinTime55 has stated, this discussion is better to be had on Talk:Sergei Korolev and not on here. And I agreed with him that any sources must be verified using reliable sources. I support Ukraine's fight for their independence and freedom, but Wikipedia is not the battleground to fight on. If you can provide a source to point out that he is Ukrainian, I am sure any editors here would be glad to change it. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 00:24, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

The trend didn't start on Tiktok, but on Twitter on the 15th of September. KingGhostIV ( talk) 03:55, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello KingGhostIV! The problem is that the material you added are unsourced. Do you have sources that the trend started on Twitter? If you do not have a reliable source per WP:RS, it can't be inserted in the article. Thank you and have a great day! ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 03:57, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

I think there was most likely earlier but sadly on Twitter I don't think we can see times. KingGhostIV ( talk) 04:01, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
