Traditional medicine
I undid the reference that you recently added to Traditional medicine as far as I can tell the statement you were adding the citation to is correct but a better reference should be located. Also when citing a book such as this it would be helpful to include a page number Thanks! Unconventional2 (talk) 21:44, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Much better sources! Thanks for finding them! Unconventional2 (talk) 01:30, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem, Unconventional2. Thanks for the advice. ABF99 (talk) 14:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Reiki
Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Reiki. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 16:19, 28 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello, Ronz. While I appreciate your contacting me, what I added to the Reiki article was clearly not personal commentary, but referenced information from the Washington Post: "Despite its criticisms, in the United States in 2014 Reiki was being offered as a complementary treatment  at more than 60 hospitals and Reiki education was offered at 800 hospitals."Brianna Sacks, "Reiki Goes Mainstream", Washington Post, May 16, 2014 After reflecting on it,  I agree with you that this information probably doesn't belong in the lede.  However, I do think that information on current Reiki usage would improve the article.  That it is being used in so many hospitals is significant, regardless of the scientific support or lack thereof of this practice.  Documenting the extent of the practice of a health-related technique, even if "pseudoscience", is encyclopedic, not personal commentary.  Perhaps a section on Usage could be created, with  appropriately referenced  NPOV discussions and criticisms included.  What do you think?
 * Thanks for responding.
 * I'd prefer a better source with more context, but it seems like the source could justify mention of the number of hospitals offering Reiki.
 * I'm not sure we have sources for an entire "Usage" section. There are economic and social pressures on hospitals (and in medical education), but we'd have to track down sources.
 * The juxtaposition, "Despite its criticisms", is completely your own, unless I'm overlooking something in the source. --Ronz (talk) 01:20, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * My two cents
 * My concern is that specific information like this gets quickly outdated and needs to be checked and updated frequently.  If  this gets included in the article I would suggest leaving out specific numbers. And just using the fact that some hospitals are using unproven treatments.

Nice article, looks very good! could use a few more references. Hope you like my addition(s) and cleanup. Unconventional2 (talk) 20:42, 2 March 2016 (UTC)


 * ABF99
 * Sorry for not responding sooner. Yes I think that it was ok for you to remove the Citations Needed template. Glad to see you went ahead and removed it.
 * P.S. how did you like the photo I took of the Monument in Father Dickson Cemetery?
 * Unconventional2 (talk) 18:01, 1 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Glad you liked it! If you are looking for any new projects Father Dixon cemetery could use a page of its own. I have several more photos of it I am planning on uploading soon. Thanks for adding all the pages on these forgotten historical figures! Unconventional2 (talk) 19:42, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

Charlotte L. Brown
thanks, ill add her to the next group of DYK's, this one is sort of packed. thanks for appreciating the Portal, it was a labor of love, and honestly no other portal comes close. its probably TOO MUCH PORTAL. i also added her to the year events for 1863, and will add gay games and other items i just looked up by going to your homepage. thanks for the excellent work in documenting important but lesser known people and events/places.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:17, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Attack pages
I just bumped a couple of your G3 hoax speedies up to G10 attack pages - if it's a named person and is clearly abusive (two you flagged were describing people as "ugly half horse half human" and having "useless opinions"), it should be flagged as db-attack and blanked. Articles can hang around in Google for a few days even after they're deleted sometimes, and the subjects of these attacks obviously wouldn't appreciate these being the top results for their name. --McGeddon (talk) 14:26, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
 * McGeddon (talk) Okay, thanks, good information to know!

 * MoazzamBegKhans I have left a welcome message on your talk page which should be helpful to read in creating your first article.

Any unknown user (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/81.157.92.84) delete all lines and ref in my article Sheikh Tauseef ur-Rehman Rashdi, why i am provide strongest links news links also so why he delete.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by MoazzamBegKhans (talk • contribs) 05:08, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
 * MoazzamBegKhans You can often read why an editor did what they did in the edit summary, which appears in the "view history" section of the article.  That editor stated in their summary that your references were not Reliable Sources.  Sources cannot be websites that appear to be promoting the subject or are in any way connected to the subject.  Also read about copyright violations and Neutral Point of View.  You can't just copy and paste material from websites into Wikipedia websites, even if you are the editor of the website, and you can't state opinions or use promotional language in a Wikipedia article.

Finding your (my) barnstar
was a great way to begin the day. I was told a decade or so ago that humor has no place in wikipedia so I did stop using it in my editing of articles but to remove it entirely would make wikipedia a grim place indeed. Which it sometimes can be but you have definitely made it less so for me. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:17, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Another person today gave me a barnstar for my user name - Here was my note to him explaining it. In case you are interested.  If not, please recycle.
 * Many years ago, around the year 2000, perhaps a bit before, I was very actively involved in a Detroit based web site called ‘The Fabulous Ruins of Detroit” which I believe is still active, though perhaps the name has been changed. Most of the folks who posted there, including myself, posted under their real names. At one point one of the posters, a woman who was finding that posting under her real name was causing issues in her “real” life, suggested that the regulars there adopt internet names, which I did, choosing “Carpé Mañana” as mine. Then, finding that using the "é & ñ" was a bit cumbersome, I shortened my name to “carpman". Later I moved to New Mexico, though it was not a well known fact at the site, and moved into a trailer. Shortly thereafter at Ruins a long discussion ensued including all sorts of references to “trailer trash” so I changed my name again, this time to “carptrash”, as a sort of trailer solidarity thing. 15 years later I still use it. I started editing wikipedia in about 2004 and just used that as my name since I am not inclined to use a bunch of different names. Thus should you run into a “carptrash” somewhere else it is probably me. Carptrash (talk) 05:44, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * If you check out "carp" as a verb you get further insights into my character. Carptrash (talk) 17:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Michael Shiner
Please excuse my interruption of your good work on the Shiner article - I think we had an edit conflict or two. I'm done there. Just wanted to combine those references. I think you can see how it's done. Happy editing. Toddst1 (talk) 21:38, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 21
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of American print journalists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Liberator. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:54, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

You need to fix the sources you added to the article as follows: 1. WP:BAREURLS : "" 2. WP:CITEVAR: "" 3. Refname rules: Refnames ""

 * Thanks Pyxis Solitary, I will fix these urls later today. I had not intended to leave them like that, but got sidetracked. Edit: Looks like someone beat me to it: urls have been filled in.
 * Yes. Thank goodness for the awesome editors that jump at problems right away. I usually take on citation fixes but sometimes juggle too many things at once and couldn't do it. Pyxis Solitary   (yak)  06:33, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
