Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Mister Jalopy, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 21:32, 21 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I added a citation to an article that names his store. I'm not sure what citation to use to make it clear that he goes by Mister Jalopy instead of Mr. Jalopy though. Would this New York Times article suffice? https://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/opinion/25mon4.html Althea 3f67fdb1 (talk) 22:15, 21 August 2022 (UTC)


 * I don't understand that second sentence about the store name citation. I don't see any mention of "Coco's Variety Bike and Prop" on Wikipedia. Other sources use "Mr. Jalopy". The article title is "Mister Jalopy", not sure why. Here the article was created with "Mr." Not sure that a citation is needed given the article is titled Mister. Does he have a website where he uses that? Might be the best you have wp:reliable sources where he calls himself either Mr. or Mister? Not sure what the policy on that is. There is wp:Manual of Style/Biography, specifically MOS:NAME. You wp:piped "Mister Jalopy" to "Mr. Jalopy" as "Mr. Jalopy" is a wp:redirect, you should just use "Mister Jalopy" without the pipe.

 * This link: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/kuar/.artsmain/article/11/1029/1489103/Radio/Mister.Jalopy/ repeatedly returns a "The connection was reset". I looked for an archive on Wayback Machine - 404s only. and Archive.today without any luck. https://www.npr.org/2008/07/14/92508461/are-you-sure-you-own-your-stuff works. Any ideas? I did find a more recent makezine archive and updated Mister Jalopy. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 05:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
