Hello, I'm AgisdeSparte. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. AgisdeSparte (talk) 01:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I have added the reference. Thank you for your rigor. Best, Francois Lalonde 70.53.242.125 (talk) 02:26, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Actually, there is also an article in French in Wikipedia that supports the same information. I just cited the article in English since it is very close to the French version (with same title). 70.53.242.125 (talk) 02:29, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As you see, the reference is very explicite about the origin of the name Ritz-Carlton. Actually, as you may see in the reference that I cited, it was a negociation between the Montrealers and Cesar Ritz that led to the name Ritz-Carlton. Ritz had a number of conditions in order to give his name to the first Ritz-Carlton hotel in the world. Actually, the first one opened in NYC a year before, but the conditions with Ritz had been expressed much before in Montreal, in 1908.

 * I do not see why I was blocked. I gave two references coming from Wikipedia that clearly support what I wrote. Then either these two references are contested by an administrator, or otherwise I should be unblocked. 70.53.242.125 (talk) 23:34, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The article specifically for the Montreal hotel on the French Wikipedia does contain this information that you have attempting to add. If you ask me, this entire thing appears to be a big misunderstanding. You don't know how to add references the way that is supposed to be done on Wikipedia and received warnings and then a block. I suggest you appeal the block and read up on how to add inline citations on wikipedia. Find the sources used on the French montreal hotel page and re-add them to the English wikipedia page. Interestingly enough, the article for the Ritz-Carlton on the French Wikipedia doesn't cite any sources itself but that's an issue for the Wikipedia en francais. --  Cosmic6811  🍁 ( T ·  C ) 00:02, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi Ad Orientem, I don't think there are grounds for a block in this situation as after being given warnings and having their edits reverted, this editor did attempt to cite the information. This shows that they understand what was done wrong and are now trying to edit correctly which makes the block pointless according to WP:BP as it is now a punishment rather than a means to halt disruption. --  Cosmic6811  🍁 ( T ·  C ) 00:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Cosmic6811 unblocked per your observations. Merry Christmas. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
