Thanks for the approval on Talk:Tulsi Gabbard

Looking at your edit history, I get the impression you're also interested in ensuring 2ary sources and WP in turn accurately portray the 1ary.

On a related matter, of the 11 candidates in the 2020 Dem primary with a separate page that details their political positions, only 4 (Buttigieg, Harris, Sanders, Gabbard) have corresponding sub-§§ on their bio pages. Of those, Gabbard's is the one that most severely under-represents the full suite of what appears on those separate political positions pages. Buttigieg has almost as many sub-§§ on his bio page as on his political positions page — 12 vs 15, whereas Gabbard has only 6 out of 44. Harris and Sanders have on the order of 20 position §§ spread over their tenures in different elected offices.

One way to address this would be to bring over a reduced version of the material from Gabbard's pol pos page.

I was hoping you could take a look at that page. Any feedback you could provide on how that might best be done would be appreciated. Humanengr ( talk) 06:04, 1 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Artwork of the monastic community of Mount Athos

Hi, I saw your edits on TPUSA and visited your user page, only to discover you have overlapping interests in Christianity and art. Which reminds me, I’ve been meaning to find someone like you for some time to ask a question. You may be familiar with the monastic community of Mount Athos. I watched a unique documentary about them many years ago, and there was a moment in the film where the monks revealed a treasure trove of Christian art that few people had ever seen. It was frankly amazing, but it’s been difficult to impossible to find anything else about this. I’ve always been interested in creating an article about this artwork "gallery" of sorts, so I was wondering if you had any other sources to work from to create an article. Thanks. Viriditas ( talk) 22:37, 29 May 2022 (UTC) reply

Hi, Viriditas , I would definitely like to collaborate on something pertaining to this particular subject. Let me do some research and ask my family and friends where I might find some good source on this topic. Also happen to remember the name of the documentary? Eruditess ( talk) 14:58, 1 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Thanks, it’s been so long since I watched the documentary that I don’t recall the name, however it should be easy to find. Again, thanks for looking into this. Viriditas ( talk) 00:00, 2 June 2022 (UTC) reply
Update: looks like the article in question cites Graham Speake, Mount Athos: Renewal in Paradise, New Haven, CT, Yale University Press, 2002, and links to at least one documentary on the subject. There’s a YouTube account by the name of "C14radioactiv" that links to two documentaries, an English and French one. If you speak French, you’re in luck, as it documents many of the artworks.

Warning

You've been notified of discretionary sanctions in certain topic areas--it's still on the top of this page, a notification placed there by Doug Weller. This is an edit that might be invoked to topic-ban you from editing articles within the American Politics area. I am a bit baffled. It's nice that you add sources, but "In a statement from the University, witnesses reported Antifa contributed to the fighting as well as pepper spraying" is not OK. First of all the grammar is just absolutely tortured (no witness was likely to report something inside some statement, and the relationship between "pepper spraying" and "fighting" is unclear), and while it is true that ONE of the sources says that the university report said "Some witnesses reported antifa contributed to the fighting and pepper spraying", it is also true that BOTH sources said that among the fighters were people who reportedly were Proud Boys outfits. So, you include Antifa, mentioned in only one source, but not the Proud Boys, mentioned in both: that's the kind of thing that these discretionary sanctions were designed to prevent. Please be more careful. Drmies ( talk) 01:56, 17 December 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you @ Drmies for clarifying that. As always I appreciate constructive criticism and will strive to uphold Wikipedia standards. I will be honest, The discretionary sanctions post Doug Weller posted isn't very clear. It is a generic notification that explicitly states that:
"... This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date ...".
With no actual specific reference included in these "discretionary sanctions" notifications, how is an editor suppose to know when/how they committed an infraction? I couldn't honestly tell you what edit Doug Weller was referring to.
Upon reviewing of the WP:RS that was cited, both Proud boys and Antifa should be mentioned in the edit. That I agree upon 100%. This was an error on my part. Now if you would have come on to my talk page and politely and civilly asked me to self revert or amend my edit to include "Proud Boys".( Which is what the 4th pillar of Wikipedia encourages - WP:5P4) I happily would have abided. Or via WP:PRESERVE, perhaps add/insert "Proud Boys" into the edit and fix the grammar rather than remove it entirely. I do believe that collaboration is the key to making great articles and appreciate you drawing my attention to ways I can improve my own editing.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kathy Wakile, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bravo.
