Hey friend, I am trying to figure out what is causing the mass deletion of information on this page. I feel like enough external sources have been added of third party articles to cite information. Let me know how I can improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:59C8:1505:A710:D516:60A:61B2:F90E ( talk) 13:30, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Great work trying to shorten the introduction paragraph to the ITER article, especially citing the relevant guidelines that suggest the four-paragraph standard. The problem is that this paragraph cites work by a journalist who is an ITER sceptic and who is committed to a rival fusion technology, so he is very active about keeping that critical information at the top of the page. I wrote on his talk page that we should transfer it to the Criticism section, but he just deleted my comment. I look forward to seeing how he reacts to your change...

I saw your posting on my Talk page a few months ago. I wanted to respond right away, but had not the time. My schedule has been hectic most of this year. Sorry I could not respond to your welcome request sooner. Good that your writing has been posted.
Today I looked at it, your "California housing shortage" article. It is a very important topic, and an interesting one. Many people are severely affected. Everyone on the coastal metropolitan areas are. I have been on both side of the supply and demand equation, personally and professionally.
I will try to read your article this month. In the meantime, one issue suggests itself to me. The 'Great Recession' quickly stopped new construction. Many construction companies made drastic cut-backs on skilled employees, or went completely out of business. Now that California needs a building boom, the housing supply factor is relatively anemic. It should be robust.
A dramatic increase in housing supply is clearly the long term solution. Ironically, short term fixes like rent control work to reduce future housing supply. Yet in the meantime rent control can alleviate some of the pain of the housing shortage, especially needed for low income renters. It's a difficult zero-sum calculus, at best. Studies have shown that rent control does not effectively lower rents over time for a region, but instead benefits certain tenants (who stay put in rentals in favored locations) and increases the rent for new tenants and those in adjacent locations that are not controlled. It also favors some more prosperous tenants, who would not qualify as low income.
It's difficult for government to intervene in the economy in the interests of a sense of political justice, to challenge the supply and demand reality, without serious unintended consequences. Rent control can alleviate today's housing pain, in exchange for prolonging the shortage. Yet sometimes the short-term realities are so abnormal that such intervention is warranted. Rent control is often a blunt instrument, but part of the political-economic tool kit.
Another major factor driving up the price of real estate in California is foreign investors. Obviously, through the influx of funds. But also, many buy homes as investments (for appreciation of their value) and then let them sit unoccupied. In not a few Los Angeles suburbs 10% of the homes are said to be idle due to absentee investors.
I salute your interest, and your contribution to Wikipedia. Elfelix ( talk) 22:21, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
Per-capita means per person, not per property. I removed "per capita" in my edits. Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy. I have added these relevant facts to the article. I think they help understand that a 0.42% rate does not necessarily imply the locale is getting a giant subsidy. I think that's important for readers of the article to understand--recent money has resulted in SOME people paying much more per property, but longtime residents don't necessarily pay less than the rest of the state does (median property tax in CA is under 3,000 dollars per source 59). Those longtime residents have paid decades of other high taxes that compensated for prop 13 too, and we need an accounting of how much that is (and I don't think this exists).

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Talk:Rent regulation. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you.

Hi Avatar317, I wanted to thank you for all the work you put into the Alex Berenson article and the new article you created about his book, Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence. I heard his perspective on a podcast called The Argument from the New York Times in which 3 NYT opinion writers (one an anti-Trump conservative, one a left-leaning moderate, and the last quite to the left of the other two) debate controversial issues in a rational and factual manner, often times finding common ground on some points and agreeing to disagree on others. It's refreshing to hear such a reasonable debate about real policy and circumstance, but I digress. One of them did an interview with Alex Berenson about cannabis, and I found his arguments and propositions so filled with fallacies and factually incorrect information that I simply had to check how he and his book were characterized in his Wikipedia article, only to find it just briefly mentioned without any mention of the substantial number of criticisms laid against him and his book.
I wanted to make it clear to any readers that his position is not backed by science, and I really appreciate all the effort you put into reworking that article and creating a new article for the book to ensure that all readers of Wikipedia who may stumble upon his page understand that he is not an expert, nor does he defer to the actual experts, and, at least from my perspective, is trying to push an agenda instead of the actual reality of the consequences of cannabis use. Thanks again. Matt18224 ( talk) 02:35, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
In particular, they describe his book as highly problematic because Berenson infers causation from correlation, .... I don't recall how I came across that article, but that sentence caught my attention, and got me interested to read more. (I think a neat feature of Wikipedia is how info in articles can bootstrap better articles in this manner; I hadn't heard anything about his book until I read that Wikipedia article; without your contribution I likely wouldn't have heard about this at all.)

Hey Avatar317, thanks for fixing the Alex Berenson article after it had been maliciously altered. I got my email digest showing the anonymous removal of information and immediately went to revert it, only to pleasantly discover that you had already done so. I geolocated the IP address, and it's suspiciously in the exact same area of New York where Alex Berenson lives. The editor also added information about Berenson's pet, with quite specific, unsourced details and poor following of the Manual of Style. While I have no definitive proof, the anonymous editor's seemingly visceral reaction to the content in the article debunking Berenson's claims, as well as Berenson himself being publicly annoyed by any criticism of his works, leads me to suspect that Berenson himself altered the article. He removed every bit of properly-sourced, reliable information in the article that was critical of his book, while leaving information simply stating what the book is and what he claims in it.
It may be necessary to keep a close eye on this situation, including potentially requesting an IP ban from an admin, if he continues to remove unfavorable, factual information, since this would be a blatant violation of WP:AUTO. I know you've put a lot of work into improving the article (as well as the topic overall), and I wanted you to know I'll staunchly back you up if it ultimately comes to a conflict. I strongly suspect other editors will also support the inclusion of that information in the article, since its inclusion objectively improves the quality and breadth of the article and is not "slanderous" or "partisan" as the anonymous editor claimed.

Semi-protection prevents edits from unregistered users (IP addresses), as well as edits from any account that is not autoconfirmed (is at least four days old and has made at least ten edits to Wikipedia) or confirmed. This level of protection is useful when there is a significant amount of disruption or vandalism from new or unregistered users, or to prevent sock puppets of blocked or banned users from editing, especially when it occurs on biographies of living persons who have had a recent high level of media interest. An alternative to semi-protection is pending changes, which is sometimes favored when an article is being vandalized regularly, but otherwise receives a low amount of editing.

Martin Enserink is Science’s International news editor. Based in Amsterdam, he coordinates and edits news from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. He also writes stories, primarily about infectious diseases, global health, and research policy. Martin received a master’s degree in biology from the University of Groningen and worked for various publications in the Netherlands before joining Science in 1999. He was a reporter at the magazine’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., for 5 years and became the Paris correspondent in 2004. Between 2011 and 2018, he was Science’s European news editor. Fascinated by emerging diseases, he covered outbreaks on four continents, including the 2001 anthrax letters in the United States, the global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003, and the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. He also wrote about basic research, epidemiology, ecology, and drug and vaccine development for diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and influenza. In addition, he has written extensively about research funding, scientific publishing, research ethics, and scientific misconduct. Martin won the Communications Award of the American Society for Microbiology in 2004, 2008, and 2012, each time with a different Science colleague, for stories on SARS, malaria, and a suspected link between a virus and chronic fatigue syndrome. His story on golden rice was included in Best American Science Writing 2009. He was a mentor to four African science journalists in a program run by the World Federation of Science Journalists and wrote an online course, Covering Ebola, with Helen Branswell. In November 2019, Martin's story about the eradication of yaws, a disfiguring bacterial disease, won the Communications Award from the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene.- Seems like a VERY Reliable Source WP:RS written by a very qualified journalist to me, and that's just the first of FIVE sources for that statement. --- Avatar317 (talk) 04:57, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I saw there’s been a lot of back and forth on the Calif. Prop 15 article especially in the lead section. In an effort to avoid stepping on any toes, I'd like to get your input on some minor adjustments. Your most recent change was an improvement to illustrate the "split roll" piece so I agree with you there and I think there could be some additional fine tuning to A) avoid the repetitive language, and B) more clearly define that the underlying change comes from a reassessment of property values:
Current version:
The 2020 California Proposition 15 provides $6.5 billion to $11.5 billion in new funding for public schools, community colleges, and local government services by creating a "split roll" property tax system that increases taxes on large commercial properties by taxing them at market value, without changing property taxes for residential properties.
Suggested changes:
The 2020 California Proposition 15 provides $6.5 billion to $11.5 billion in new funding for public schools, community colleges, and local government services by creating a "split roll" system that increases tax revenue from large commercial properties by assessing them at market value, without changing property taxes for small business owners or residential properties.
Alternatively, we could use "by assessing them at market value instead of their original purchase price" which even more clearly illustrates the change. But the above version also keeps it simple and to the point. Do you have any objections to this modification? Thank you! PureFuLT ( talk) 18:48, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

It's not about finding sources that say what I want them to say, it's finding an accurate way to summarise the plethora of sources that are out there on the subject without ignoring them. The bottom line is that there are lots of good sources out there showing one way or another that the gap has either stalled or is/could be outright declining in recent years, from here [1] to here [2] to here [3] to here [4] to here [5] to here [6] if you don't want to use the Forbes articles, which I totally understand. But the bottom line is that the sources don't reflect a consensus that COVID-19 is the sole cause of the widening or stagnating gap, and the ones that do link it to COVID don't just link it to daycare centers and schools being closed in particular, hence the wording needs to be more encompassing. I prefer my wording but if you really want to include COVID then perhaps we could combine the two and say something like "Since 2018 however, there are signs that it could be widening again, with the COVID-19 pandemic largely attributed to the reversal." Or something. What do you think? Davefelmer ( talk) 23:55, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't understand your stance on think tank sources from your edits in Minimum wage in the United States. You link to WP:RS, but reading over that it seems to say the exact opposite of your stance. It has no stance on think-tanks in general, but it does have a stance on "biased or opinionated sources" (which would seem to include think-tanks), and states that "Sometimes non-neutral sources are the best possible sources for supporting information about the different viewpoints held on a subject". Seeing that, I have no idea what your justification is for deleting all think tank sources. The only doctrinal page I could find even mentioning think tanks was Wikipedia:Articles with a single source which merely prohibits taking the sources from a think-tank as a way of effectively copying a think-tank.
Considering the article quotes several individual people directly (who are also by no means reliable sources) to present the range of opinion on the topic, singling out think tanks seems like an unjustifiable position.
I'll drop this if it's a doctrinal thing for Wikipedia for some reason, but otherwise I will attempt to/call for reverting all of your deletions following this line, or ask that you revert those deletions yourself. Considering I don't have a Wikipedia account (and am not planning on getting one), I'm not signing this, idk if that's rude, but I'm not trying to be.

Hi Avatar317; regarding your ES here; yes, videos are regarded as "texts" in academic contexts (see Content_analysis#Kinds_of_text). I was trying to avoid using the term "video" to refer to both pieces together since we've defined one as a "video" and the other as a "film". I understand your point though; maybe "productions" would be a better way to collectively refer to them. I'm not too fussed though. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 06:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
Good catch on Minimum Wage in the United States. However, I am still skeptical as to whether it is necessary to include the information in the lead because very few polls show support for a $15.00 minimum wage being that low. I am not familiar with this area of Wikipedia all that much, but I intuitively think it would be best to include more polls in the lead. Scorpions13256 ( talk) 01:58, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
This is regarding the changes that I made in the article Lancet MMR autism fraud calling the published paper fraudulent, that was reverted by you. The paper was fraudulent as stated in the MMR vaccine article. The word fraudulent is defined as "obtained, done by, or involving deception, especially criminal deception." As stated in the article , the lancet editor-in-chief said that the journal had been deceived into publishing the paper and wakefield's conflict of interest and manipulation was undisclosed/unknown.
So the paper was fraudulently published. I did not revert back to my edit because I didn't want to engage in an edit war, and cause any inconvenience. So I thought It would be appropriate to talk to you directly.
So please considered restoring my version.

Please take care when describing your actions in edit summaries or within a discussion on Wikipedia that you do not suggest a limit to an editor's editing privileges. In the Troy Newman article, you incorrectly reverted my edit, then told me "You could do minor grammar edits separately, those are acceptable." Wikipedia determines what edits "are acceptable." You do not. As a professional editor for more than 35 years with hundreds of published works, and as a Wikipedia editor for more than 11 years, I am quite familiar with what constitutes an "acceptable" edit. I don't like to mention my professional experience, but since you have sought to restrict the "acceptable" areas in which I may edit, I feel it is important for you to understand that this isn't my first rodeo. To answer a question you asked of me, yes, I did read the article. I am happy to return the language of Newman's removal from Australia and agree with you that it is an appropriate part of the intro. I choose to believe that you mean well in your actions. However, your language is unkind, unprofessional, provocative and does not abide by Wikipedia's principle to "always assume good faith" ( WP:FAITH). Your language also inhibits the collaborative spirit which should be observed in Wikipedia.

Hello! In regards to the edit at Factitious disorder by proxy, my main concern is that the article text says that the neurologist stated that the parents encouraged her to be sick. In the actual article, it's a bit more nuanced than that - he said that he wanted them to not encourage her to be sick, but to act like a normal teenager. As reported in various news sources, other doctors did believe her to have mitochondrial disease, and the actual person involved in the case seems to still believe so as well. I think it is controversial to say with certainty that this is a case of factitious disorder by proxy, especially given the attitude of the person concerned in regards to the matter. Is there a way you can think of to rephrase the section so that it is more accurate to what the neurologist in the source article actually said, and perhaps make it more clear that it is merely suspected rather than confirmed in this case?

I haven't been editing on Wikipedia regularly since before the @-function, so I'm not sure of the ettiquette around it, so I'll add this to your talk page as I added it to the SFZ talkpage.
There are a few points regarding NPOV that I sought to remedy with an I made yesterday in the lede (without being signed in), which was later reverted by @ Avatar317 with the memo "Restored sourced statements".
One is that the lede should specify the time periods and locations that are being discussed in regard to single-family zoning. "Recently" will not have the same meaning in ten years, and "the nation" will not have the same meaning for reader. In my edit I added a {{when}} tag to the "Recently" portion and changed "the nation" to "the United States" in order to support a NPOV. Reverting this part of my edit has nothing to do with restoring sourced statements.
The issue that seems more contentious is the part of the lede which states that single-family zoning "is a form of exclusionary zoning" and "was created as a way to keep minorities out of white neighborhoods". These unqualified statements are supported by sources name the 1916 zoning code of Berkeley, California as the first example of single-family zoning in the United States. Because of placement of these statements in the lede, whose purpose is to introduce and summarize the following content, I find that its use of Wikivoice to attribute intentions of the creators of Berkeley's zoning code to the creation of single-family zoning in general to be inappropriate, especially when other sources used in the article include other motivations for single-family zoning, [8] and when the argument of Berkeley's zoning code being a model for other single-family zoning codes is weakly or never made in the sources in this article. There is also the section of the lede which states that single-family zoning "both increases the cost of housing units and decreases the supply." Though I do not doubt that this is often true, I also find it inappropriate that this statement is offered without qualification in the lede, especially when the source does not provide much direct information on whether single-family zoning increases costs or decreases supply outside of one example in Washington DC. In fact, that the source for this statement is much more careful about its language supports the idea that this article's lede should similarly refrain from making such unsupported and unqualified statements.

References
Even where multifamily buildings are allowed, zoning rules like building height caps and minimum lot sizes often limit the financial feasibility of developing new housing. Single-family houses use more land per home than other housing types. Therefore, in places where land is expensive, building multiple homes on a given lot is the most direct way to reduce housing costs, because it spreads the cost of land across multiple homes.Cite error: The named reference "Brookings_2020" was defined multiple times with different content (see the help page).

This was an era when lots of reformist types also supported eugenics, and the role of similar bigotry in the rise of zoning can't be denied. But it was also driven by comparatively innocent beliefs that just happen to have been totally wrong. Zoning advocates argued, for example, that channeling residential development into neighborhoods of detached single-family houses far removed from shops and offices would be a boon to Americans' health, while in fact the extreme dependence on automobiles that often resulted has been the opposite."

I did read the section about the price gouging concern. If you read the section yourself, fully, you'll notice that we only have the opinion of one economist saying that inflation is not from price gouging and not consumer demand. Meanwhile, the other sources in that section state that price gouging is a factor affecting inflation.
Our job as wikipedians is to only assert what is stated by reliable sources. Sources make the claim that price gouging is, and isn't, a factor in inflation. The fact that there is an entire section in the article devoted to this topic means it probably should be mentioned in the lead. If you want to add some qualifier to the statement, like "it is debated" "unproven" "contested", etc then that would be fine. But to ignore price gouging entirely in the lead is a mistake. 71.11.5.2 ( talk) 14:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
I see what you're trying to do, and it is appreciated. Usually, on Wikipedia, any criticism of something like greedflation would be wiped, despite the consensus from economists that you've been pointing out. So that you've accomplished this much is a testament to your tenacity, but I think the tone of the recent edits may be a little rough, and a place to concede to try to get some middle ground here. Fephisto ( talk) 13:38, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

WP:GNG only requires 2 sources with significant coverage. Stochastic parrot has three times that. They are all specifically about the term and the concept it refers to. Despite its relatively recent coinage, the term is already being used in textbooks, with several pages of coverage. If you've got a problem with that, take it to what you think is the most relevant noticeboard. I didn't write the article, and the topic is certainly notable.

I have some questions about this statement: "Hickel argues in The Divide that pre-colonial societies were not poor, challenging notions of a Great Divergence. He writes that precolonial agricultural societies in Africa and India were “quite content” with a “subsistence lifestyle,” and that it was colonialism that made them worse off.[15]" (1) The cited source does not mention the Great Divergence. I checked The Divide and found that Hickel affirms the Great Divergence, citing Pomeranz, and argues it was caused by colonialism. (2) I could not find a statement in The Divide PDF saying pre-colonial societies were not poor... only that they were not worse off than Europe in the 1500s. In the World Development article mentioned earlier in the bio, Hickel does say that in pre-colonial societies “extreme poverty was not a normal condition”. Maybe better to use this statement instead? (3) I searched "quite content" and "subsistence lifestyle" in The Divide and found it refers specifically to South Africa in the 1800s (not "Africa and India"), where he says Dutch and British settlers could not attract enough labour for colonial plantations and mines because the local population was “quite content” with a “subsistence lifestyle” (the section says "under traditional tenure arrangements, most people had access to land on which to graze their cattle and grow food for their families. They didn’t see why they should leave their homes for back-breaking labour on plantations and in mines") and so colonisers resorted to taxation and dispossession to push people into wage labour. This makes me think footnote 15 is not a RS? Do you agree? Should we clarify with additional detail or just remove the statement? AnaGuterres ( talk) 10:16, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
The same source [15] is cited late to say "As a consequence of population growth, the absolute number of people living under this threshold has increased from 3.2 billion in 1981 to 4.2 billion in 2015, according to World Bank data." But in that source it is the author who says it is a consequence of population growth, while Hickel says this view assumes extreme poverty is a natural condition, which he disputes. Suggest removing the phrase "As a consequence of population growth".
Source [15] is also cited to say "Additionally, Shaohua Chen and Martin Ravallion's research shows that no matter where the poverty threshold is defined, the percentage of the world's residents who live below it declined from 1981 to 2008." But in that source Hickel agrees that proportions are declining (the section on Chen and Ravallion is preceded by saying "as Hickel himself concedes". He is also cited as writing "The proportion of people living under $1.90 per day has declined significantly, but poverty as measured by $7.40/day has declined more slowly, from 70.8 percent in 1981 to 58.1 percent in 2013.” It seems his main contention is just that the $1.90 line is too low to capture the scale of poverty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnaGuterres ( talk • contribs) 10:47, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
The sixth quoted source in this article that gives an estimated 6 cents per kWh generation cost may be from a reliable source (the San Francisco Chronicle), but the newspaper quotes a potentially bias source with a financial interest in keeping the plant open by portraying it as cheaper than other forms of electricity generation. The price per kWh is not given any justification or clarification whether it includes the cost of building/decommissioning the plant, or just the cost of the fuel. Looking deeper, the price of nuclear at 6 cents per kWh is not borne out by other reputable sources, and the cost of wind and solar are comparable or less in many cases. This statement should be deleted as biased.
There are many instances in this article that make it appear to be written by individuals with a particular bias towards the safety and continued operation of the plant. 2605:59C8:50F5:6910:8078:7B3A:763B:4232 ( talk) 00:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Gavin Newsom shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Re: "The sources you have found only talk about emergency contraception" - Well, of course. I'd have happily put that in the article text myself except that every time I made an edit, even if it was a single word, it got pushback. The most recent pushback was based entirely on questions of sourcing, so I just focused on that. However, the article is about a controversy, and the controversy isn't about BC in a global sense but about EC specifically. SalClements ( talk) 08:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

By claiming the article is only about the "surge" and therefore should not include the disinflation period, then since any news articles that come about later in time will be about how the inflation stopped, then that means that they'll be able to claim that those articles are irrelevant to the current article, thereby keeping their narrative on the article intact.

Hi! First, thanks for your edits to that page, which, among other things, have caught some deficiencies in my edits and fixed them. I do have a question about the sentence "The most common reason women report for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing
". Isn't that always the reason for an abortion, that is, doesn't it include all the other reasons given? Perhaps that reason is intended to include only not being ready to have a child (rather than reasons such as a deformed fetus or danger to the health of the woman), but that's not clear and it would also would include several of the other reasons given. So I'm questioning the logic of referring to postponing or stopping childbearing as the most common reason.
NightHeron (
talk) 11:16, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
I see that the sentence I questioned is taken directly from the Guttmacher source. But I still don't see the logic of it. Postponing or stopping childbearing is what an abortion does. Saying that that's the most common reason for abortion is like saying that the most common reason employees call in sick is to not go to work that day. Maybe the sentence could be paraphrased, or it could be omitted, and then for the other reasons we could say "Among the most common..." NightHeron ( talk) 01:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
the decision to have an abortion is usually motivated by more than one factor.
Worldwide, the most commonly reported reason women cite for having an abortion is to postpone or stop childbearing. The second most common reason—socioeconomic concerns
Timing births and controlling family size. The desire to postpone a birth or to stop childbearing is a very common reason given by women seeking abortion. In almost half of the 23 studies (in 20 countries) with this information, about 50% or more of women gave the birth-timing and family-size control cluster of reasons as their most important reason.

Also, if you prefer, you could combine all those sources in 1 footnote, so that the article just shows a single [a] with the templates {{ efn}} and {{ notelist}} Polygnotus ( talk) 11:58, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there. I know this is ironic as my username is not a robot, but I can vouch for DaniaHernandez, Abigail Kingston, and Kedmon 10. You may be right that they didn't cite well (I don't know because I can't see what they did), but they are real people. We're in a digital writing class together and we were assigned a project where each group has to edit a Wikipedia page based around a social justice issue. Bear with them as they learn the editing process, most of us have never done this before. Thanks, friend :) NotaRobot5000 ( talk) 04:18, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for thankyou. I guess the article is drawing to a close now as the dams come down, but the restoration is worth following. The people on the Yurok Tribe condor cam message board (where I became involved with condors' plight) liked it as it shows their efforts to save the salmon that their society is so tied to. I will try to keep an up-to-date section on habitat restoration on their article page which I have started working on and especially the food culture section.
