Please do not add or change content, as you did at Wolverine, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Airtransat236 (talk &#124; contribs) 01:37, 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The reliable sources are already referenced at the end of the sentence I edited. There are 6 sources there, 5 of which are correct. I simply removed the incorrect one. 2605:59C8:2553:7510:8185:A0C9:ADA2:6F64 (talk) 01:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * agrees with the existing text. Additionally removing https://mnmammals.d.umn.edu/ is incorrect because it is WP:RS. Unless you think it is not RS it should not be removed. WP:VERIFIABILITYNOTTRUTH. — Invasive Spices (talk) 29 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Can't reply to Invasive Spices so replying to myself. 'Reliable' sources are not infallible sources. Any source stating a 60+ lb common max weight figure for a wolverine is objectively incorrect. The Forest Service figures shared by Invasive Spices are based on old, possibly unreliable sources and the only source I was able to access gave an average of 30 lbs for male wolverines. Furthermore, the Wolverine Foundation puts their own maximum at 40 lbs, agreeing with every other modern source AND the FIVE other sources that were already listed as reference for the weights given in this article in the first place.
 * As a mustelid enthusiast I have done my research on wolverines. Obviously none of you other folks have. None of you even bothered to read the references that were ALREADY THERE, yet you all felt a need to mindlessly, reflexively revert my edits. It shouldn't be this hard to correct misinformation on Wikipedia. The very systems you have in place to prevent misinformation are contributing to it. Y'all need to take a good look in the mirror. 2605:59C8:2553:7510:66BC:58FF:FEA6:60C6 (talk) 03:30, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I did verify the UMN and USFS sources. You are arguing that we should take your 'objective' opinion over those. You are correct however that I did not verify with the other sources.


 * I don't know about those and I am indeed not a mustelid enthusiast. However we need wolverine weight sources which everyone can see because this is Wikipedia. If you provide specific quotes from sources you think support your side on Talk:Wolverine then we can resolve this. Invasive Spices (talk) 30 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I debunked the myth in the talk page as you requested and now some other fine gentleman deleted my entire post because it wasn't "constructive". My post and edits were the most constructive thing to happen to article in 16 years. This website is an absolute joke. I can't believe I've wasted hours of my life correcting this misinformation just to have a bunch of laymen delete my work. It's like I'm truly casting pearls before swine. I'm wondering why this same level of scrutiny wasn't levelled to whoever added this misinformation in the first place. I was planning on revamping this article in the future but if it's going to be as difficult as making this one tiny little edit was I'm just going to forget it. Way to drive away the one person that actually gives a damn, wikipedia. Not you, Invasive Spices, you seem alright - it's all the other mindless clowns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:59C8:2553:7510:F024:A227:6054:DDA7 (talk) 21:04, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
