Why are you deleting Betty R. King's name? She been on this page for AGES. I didn't just add her for God's sake! Why are you not taking down Lisa Hart Carroll's name, too? She's in the cast... OR is she? She's not the subject of a Wikipedia article either. She doesn't have the classical Wikipedia #'s in [ ]'s citation bearer either. Go ahead, rip her name down, too. Why don't you take down Norman Bennett's, Troy Bishop's, Megan Morris' and Kate Charleston's names down while you're at it, as well. Go on, for they"re not "properly cited" either.
Don't believe these people exist? Go to IMDb.com and find out for yourself, and then delete--or NOT delete--them, too. (Or "cite" each one of them yourself, or, NOT.)
And, after that, you can then go to every Wikipedia page for a film and delete all of the names of all of the actors who don't link to a page on Wikipedia, IMDb.com, or any other online website that proves anyone and everyone exists. When you're through going through those God-knows-how-many-thousands-and-thousands-of-film-articles-and-lists of information, you can then move on to your starting to take down the uncited names of former 1970s Idaho county commissioners, obscure children's book authors, major league baseball players that played only two weeks in a season back in 1952, 19th-Century Catholic prelates who have served in dioceses in Finland, then follow that with every person whoever did voiceover radio work on "Little Orphan Annie" during the Great Depression. Delete them, OR cite them--I don't care.
But, for you to just delete Betty R. King's name off of all of these pages for films she was in? REALLY? You're NOT editing Wikipedia, but you ARE deleting artistic contributions (like Ms. King's), and you're also effectively destroying history, and doing so in a willful, malicious, discriminatory, and almost predatory fashion. Why are you following me around here and tossing out an elderly character actress' name (and actor's, for you, also, apparently, have something against the late British character actor and opera singer Byron Webster, for you deleted a number of his credits, too) and works, out the damned window? I have never had an experience like this before. Why are you being so truculent and extra-judicial with these minor information additions? Why don't just tear down every name of every uncited person or thing on Wikipedia while you're at it, for Pete's sake!
Wikipedia is supposed to be a universe of expanding knowledge, deepening learning, and done so through good-faith altruism, both voluntary and considerate, academic and subjective. So, stop acting like a black hole of history, mutualism, and sharing in this shared-by-all universe, or I will be forced to contact the proper and relevant administrative authorities of this website and deliver the necessary and requisite grievances apropos of this malice, inconsistency, bullying and methodological inconsistency, for it is NOT what Wikipedia is about and for, nor is it for you alone.
I'm simply here to share. Why you're here, I simply don't care.
Equal standards are supposed to apply to all, and what we are dealing with, in terms of expectations (and endearments) here, is possessing neither proportion nor fairness. 2600:1014:B073:93FB:B83D:F433:60A7:3649 ( talk) 02:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
I understand your reversion, though it's sad that I'm apparently the only person on the planet who ever realized the obvious connection to Falstaff. (I've seen elsewhere on Wikipedia where someone is allowed to make an obvious connection between one media production and another, without having a secondary source verify it; but that doesn't always happen, obviously.) Have a pleasant evening. John315 ( talk) 01:32, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your tweaks to my edits of the article. You wrote "one person wrote a column, that doesn't equal 'some' " -- I agree I overreached there. I even agree it was fine to move my comments farther down in the article so they are not as prominent. However, I think that moving them down leads to an awkward transition --
Many indigenous peoples trace their ancestry to “star-people” or the like—extra-terrestrials who as the progenitors of indigenous peoples cannot by definition be white or “Aryan.” [28]
These claims are so outlandish that up until recently, mainstream archaeologists essentially ignored them as absurdities
Did you intentionally mean to imply that indigenous peoples' origin stories are outlandish? Then doesn't that implication just further demonstrate “Indigenous erasure"? There are probably at least some cultural anthropologists who would disagree with the notion that these claims are outlandish. They might not be "factual", but that does not give license to de-value them . Perhaps more measured language is needed here. TPleft ( talk) 19:49, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I have no reason to be contentious, but I would like direction as to why you deleted my link from cat yronwode's Wikipedia web page to her business and research web page (Lucky Mojo Co.). Billfish ( talk) 22:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
I've read that discussion page about why no one is allowed to mention 17 Again was Matthew's final film role all because of Rowing007 you agreed with. I know I had to confirm that it is 100% relevant that the film was his last and several users attempted to put back but Rowing kept removing it. I also tried to confront him but one of the admins Ivanvector tried to escalate me if I continue to make useless threats. Another admin Bsoyka also left me that nothing is allowed and I don't know how. This discussion has to end and confirm it that the film was his last. If not, God won't forgive me. 182.255.41.207 ( talk) 15:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, if you would kindly click on the link in the citation I provided ( linked here for your convenience), you will see that the inscription on the album cover specifically says: "'DON'T DRINK THE ORANGE JUICE' was written and recorded on March 25th - the natal day of Ms. O.J."

I note your recent edit of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was reverted by the same unregistered user. This appears to be a wider issue with this editor, refer my comments at WP:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Undue weight given to Fritz von Opel in various space related articles Ilenart626 ( talk) 00:36, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
I read the section [1] (p. 42-44) as implying he had German ancestry. The passage begins "Many German-speaking Jewish and non-Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution came to southern California, as well as to New York... Although a number returned to Europe after the war, many stayed and made important contributions to the arts and the intellectual life of the region... There are numerous other examples of German contributions to Hollywood and also to Broadway." All persons mentioned in the section were either born in German-speaking Europe, as can be ascertained from their Wikipedia articles: Bertolt Brecht, Lion Feuchtwanger, Thomas Mann, Erich Maria Remarque, Alma Mahler, Franz Werfel, Frederick Loewe, Felix Salten, and Friedrich Gerstäcker, or were descendants of Germans/German-speaking Jews: Walt Disney [2], Gene Kelly [3], Alan Jay Lerner (couldn't find anything about his ancestry, but he had a German/Jewish surname) [4], Richard Rodgers [5], and Oscar Hammerstein II [6]. Now, it would be wierd mentioning Robert Wise in this section which claims "There are numerous other examples of German contributions to Hollywood and also to Broadway", and then goes on to mention exactly that if Wise didn't actually have German ancestry, which he obviously did (his mother's name was Longenecker). Wise's featured IMDB biography states "His parents were both of Pennsylvania Dutch (German) descent." [7]. This claim has been repeated on a few potentially unreliable websites [8] [9] The IMDB biography was written by a Lukas Fichtinger of HTL Braunau . I haven't been able to verify the claim of Wise's Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry. I sent a message to the contact address mentioned in the IMDB biography, but it didn't deliver: Host or domain name not found. I believe the claim might come from the book "Robert Wise: A Bio-Bibliography" [10], though I haven't been able to verify this either. What are your thoughts? Endebyrd ( talk) 00:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
It then goes on to mention the two versions of The Sound of Music. I don't the context is clear enough to assume every name mentioned in that pdf has German ancestry. IMDB is not a reliable source. And please don't ever consider "it's a German name" as evidence of ancestry. If you check that book and find content supporting his various ancestries, great. Schazjmd (talk) 00:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)"The export of Broadway and Hollywood products, especially to Europe, is well known. One of the most interesting examples of this is the Sound of Music phenomenon."

Hello. In Swingin' with My Eyes Closed page I found out that Metro is a tabloid newspaper per WP:RSPSOURCES. Would you remove it? Regards. 2001:D08:2901:1C81:17AD:52FF:66B2:D7C ( talk) 15:48, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I am removing your comment that a reference I cited failed verification. Before adding your comment again, I ask that you please elaborate on why you flagged the following statement in the draft article as having failed verification: "The term "Collective General Intelligence" platform originated in 2018 with behavioral scientist Johannes Castner. failed verification". The reference provided clearly identifies the researcher's use of the term, and a search of the literature on Google Scholar does not reveal any earlier uses of the term within the same context.

It is good that you have done the thing of making the changes, I recognize and will not discuss what could have been given as speculation on my part, however you are not being impartial. On the Internet there are hundreds of memes echoing that situation, also on YouTube, millions of views on the videos where he states without arguments or evidence, and only because his grandmother said it, that no matter what others said (just as the quote ) Cleopatra was black, even though she herself says that they do not know the queen's race, I will reissue the correct wording with greater seriousness and more effort and with another quote. It is not a direct attack on her, it is a part of what was made known, as I said there are thousands of videos with millions of views of her comments, which surpass her works, therefore it is a situation that must be commented on, and therefore I will not stop, I am not speaking without evidence, I am arguing and presenting references.

Memes have become part of popular culture and Wikipedia has also allowed them. A great example is the case of Natalia Poklonskaya, where she has a whole section about it on Wikipedia. Now the clip is conclusive proof, it is not invented, she appears in that video and her words are literal without interpretations, she is not putting herself out of place, because part of what is explained about her participation in the program from Netflix Dericiana ( talk) 22:31, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
I've been on an "editing war" with Adam Cuerden he insists that his off center image be on Theodore Roosevelt's bio template. When I asked him to fix it he did not. So I removed the image and added a centered one. He then removed it again. I need an administrator to block his use of Theodore Roosevelt's wiki page since he adamantly will not cooperate. Please help resolve this issue. Thanks Simmons1998 ( talk) 00:38, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the change on Wizkid's article. But I didn't misqoute, the Vanguard article qoutes he was honoured based on 'his achievements in music which has inspired Minnesotans and fans from all over the world, and his role as one of the biggest cultural influencers ever.' About the case study thing, I'm sorry I didn't check whether the University was mentioned, cuz I've heard about it before. Thanks. Yotrages ( talk) 16:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
@ Yotrages, @ DollysOnMyMind, both of you need to read WP:EW and WP:BRD. When you make an edit that is reverted by another editor, start a discussion on the article talk page. This applies to all articles, but I noticed it most recently at Chris Brown. Schazjmd (talk) 15:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I think that with these edits ( 1, 2) by Nigerian IPs, Yotrages Is voluntarily abusing of multiple accounts. I would like to have your opinion on this. To me it's an unacceptable behavior DollysOnMyMind ( talk) 19:09, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
I think both of you need to reconsider your approaches to editing on wikipedia. My advice: @ Yotrages:, you need to pay closer attention to what sources actually say, summarize them fairly and accurately, and discuss calmly and civilly on article talk pages when another editor disagrees. @ DollysOnMyMind:, you need to stop personalizing these disputes; your "dummy" edit just to snipe at Yotrages in the edit summary is not constructive. Stay off each other's talk pages; stick to content- and source-based discussions on article talk pages so other editors can participate.
Sometimes, even when you're sure that you're correct, other editors are going to disagree. You won't always get your way in content disputes. You need to find constructive ways to deal with that.

Hi Schazjmd. I'm really sorry to bother you, but I didn't fully understand your comment on the Grover Furr thread. I don't fully understand what text should be taken out. Sorry again and thank you for your time. Stix1776 ( talk) 06:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
My suggestion at RSN was:Grover Carr Furr III (born April 3, 1944) is an American professor of Medieval English literature at Montclair State University who is best known for his revisionist views regarding the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. Furr has written books, papers, and articles about Soviet history,...
However, I see that there is an active discussion at Talk:Grover Furr about the lead, so the editors more familiar with the article and already involved in that discussion should reach consensus on what to do.

Are you sure about this closure? The editor has, so far, been non-responsive. They've been invited to ANI, and then blocked from editing the article to further encourage them to communicate. And you've shut down the thread very quickly, discouraging them from communicating. That seems sub-optimal to me. 81.187.192.168 ( talk) 19:15, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

You need a high-quality source that explicitly connects Pitt with ephebophilia. Schazjmd (talk) 13:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Take extra care to use high-quality sources. Material about living persons should not be added when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism; see more information on sources. Never use self-published sources about a living person unless written or published by the subject; see WP:BLPSPS and WP:BLPSELFPUB.
Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard. If you are connected to one of the subjects of this article and need help, see this page.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:
