Removal of Controversy section
Hi Bojo, we need to remove the controversy part from Kanika's profile. Also if you can share your email or contact details. Can we connect? Sayali1103 (talk) 14:40, 2 September 2023 (UTC)


 * you can email me if you really want to, but I won't say anything there that I won't say here, and I prefer to keep all communications on the wiki. As I said on my note on your talk page, you need to reach consensus on the article's talk page before removing content that is properly cited. If you have any reliable citations that show that the controversy was inaccurate, mischaracterized, etc. you can mention those in your talk page topic and/or add that to the article (making sure to adhere to a neutral point of view). bojo  &#124; talk 14:49, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Removal
I do think you made a mistake on the sexual obsessions page but never mind. I’ll provide references at some point later on and expect the content to stay unchanged. There really wasn’t any need to revert everything. It doesn’t represent an advance over what I was trying to do. 2A02:C7C:2E9A:F100:F13B:F80:846D:C5A1 (talk) 07:59, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi there. One of Wikipedia's core policies is verifiability. When you add or change content, the burden is on you to prove it, generally by providing an inline citation. Taking a look at your other changes (not just the ones I reverted), it doesn't look like you provided any sources for your additions. It seems you are knowledgeable about this subject, but Wikipedia also has a policy against original research, which includes personal analysis or synthesis and again states the need for citations when adding/changing content. I really hope you are able to provide citations for your additions and improve the article! If you have any questions, you can ask at the Teahouse or reply to me here. Happy editing!

April 13
Hello there. I am confused as to why you said my edit topic was “non-notable” when it involved the leaking of top secret documents from the United States government and it being covered my multiple news networks and organizations earlier this year. Please let me know of you stance on this topic. 68.194.249.1 (talk) 18:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Looking at it again, the event may be notable enough to be added, but you need to include a citation to support the date and the fact that a raid actually happened on that date. The article about the event doesn't seem to specifically mention a raid based on a cursory look (only an arrest on that date), but that's not to say there aren't sources supporting that it happened. (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  18:24, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright. I have found two sources claiming both the raid and arrest occurred on Thursday, April 13, 2023. 68.194.249.1 (talk) 20:16, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Why was my edit useless?
It added significant information about recent controversies in the district. 2601:800:4001:EAF0:2A03:507F:55AC:1A3E (talk) 16:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. The main reason I reverted your change is because you entirely removed the infobox from the article without explanation. Additionally, the tone of the content you added seemed to be less than neutral, to me it read more like a news story than an encyclopedia. Also statements like "The school is already infamous for reports of students using slurs" definitely need citations to reliable sources, and the news article you cited didn't seem to mention that infamousness. In my opinion if you re-add the content without removing the infobox and take another pass at making sure everything you've added is neutral and well-sourced, it will probably be fine to keep in the article. Hope that all makes sense, if you have any questions feel free to ask at the teahouse or reply here! (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  17:06, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Thank you for the lengthy explanation! Is the new edit more appropriate in terms of neutrality? To be honest, I thought I was signed in and on sandbox, as I frequently make mistakes during lengthy edits (hence the infobox removal). I am a journalist, so I apologize for the news worthy tone but I believe that should be taken care of :) . 2601:800:4001:EAF0:2A03:507F:55AC:1A3E (talk) 17:12, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah that looks a lot better! (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  17:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Lauren Haney AKA Betty June Wolfe/Winkleman
I am her first cousin once removed. I just found out she passed away last year from a Family Tree on Ancestry also Wikipedia referenced her passing last year. The family tree is from a cousin on her mother's side.

209.50.1.156 (talk) 03:43, 21 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. Wikipedia has a policy that doesn't allow for original research, meaning that information added needs to include citations to published, reliable sources. Unfortunately a family tree compiled by a family member falls pretty squarely into the definition of original research. If you have any questions, I'd encourage you to ask at the teahouse or you can reply to me here! (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  04:04, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have always thought it was sad that no one knew her roots. Her dad was born Jan Vlcek brother of my grandpa Antonin Vlcek. When they came over here from Bohemia in 1895, the family began to go by Wolfe, which is an Angelized version of Vlcek.
 * It was no surprise to the rest of us that she published in the Czech Republic since she was half Czech.
 * I do not think anyone every published an actual biography about Betty except using her married name. I have her mom and dad's obituaries which mention her by name.
 * I cannot find an obituary for her, because she died alone. She never had children and I think she was estranged from her brother Fred. While Betty always maintained contact until just recently, her brother never had.
 * I have photos of my dad and his parents with her parents, Betty and Fred. Circa 1954 about the time she graduated from Savannah High School.
 * I tried to correct the record, I guess she will go down in history unknown as to her roots. 209.50.1.156 (talk) 04:23, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I am really sympathetic for you, and I hope you are able to find some way to get her story out there, but unfortunately Wikipedia isn't the place for that currently. Best of luck! (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  12:00, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Justin Timberlake "Cry Me A River"
Hey, Bojo.

This sentence is inaccurate --> '''It was written by Scott Storch with producer Timbaland and was inspired by Timberlake's former relationship with singer Britney Spears. '''

Justin Timberlake was also a co-writer on this song.

If somebody were to quickly to check to see if Justin Timberlake wrote "Cry Me a River"...and they read those first few lines, they would have reason to believe that he didn't.

I have given you one source (of many available) below that IS accurate. I'm only asking to give credit where credit is due. Thank you in advance.

 * Looking at it again, it looks like you're right, though for your future reference, other wikis (especially fan-made ones) are not reliable sources. (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  17:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking another look at it! Much appreciated! Have a nice weekend 😎 2600:6C50:37F:15D0:7442:F932:CC7A:4693 (talk) 21:28, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Luis Miguel Edit
Luis Miguel has sold more than 100 million copies because you deny it or want to demean it greetings Josemi5000 (talk) 18:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I am not denying or "demeaning" the information you added, but all information added to Wikipedia needs a citation to a reliable source, which you didn't provide. A Google search results page is not a reliable source (or really much of a source at all since it is just displaying information from other websites and by its nature will change a lot over time). Hope that makes sense, if you have any questions feel free to ask at the teahouse or reply to me here. (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  18:20, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Mineplex page unexplained edit
Hello @Bojo1498, i've recently made an edit at Mineplex Page but the edit was explained in Spanish, so please take a look this:

Translation: ''Mineplex Games (Mineplex, LLC.) has nothing to be with Mineplex Tech (Mineplex Studios, LLC.) because the recent changes made in the project and new ownership. I suggest to make a new Wiki Page regarding new Mineplex.'' JosGCS (talk) 04:35, 23 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. You can suggest that (I suggest doing so on the article talk page and/or start the process to propose splitting the article, but simply removing the content isn't appropriate. That information is still relevant and removing it doesn't benefit anyone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Teahouse or reply to me here! (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  04:38, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

A kitten for you!
For your anti-vandal work. Cheers!



Trophy article
I didn't make any change in Trophy article. I added just a similar system under the similar systems list. You can check it by given name of the system and the producer. I have done similar additions in the past too which were not denied. 94.121.250.88 (talk) 10:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. The addition you made to the article did not include any citations to reliable sources. All content added to Wikipedia must be verifiable. If you have made other similar changes that weren't reverted, they were likely just missed. If you have any questions, I encourage you to ask at the Teahouse or reply to me here!

BRDM-2 change from insurgents to insurrectionists removed
It's not a term of bias but that insurrection is the more appropriate term to use. Insurgency is intended to bring about change by rebelling against a government, insurrection is generally to bring an actual full change in government, and on top of that is generally considered to involve violence, which an insurgency might not. In that conflict the intention was to change the government in the area described, as happened in other parts of the country.

"Insurgence” refers to a rising up or revolt against an established authority or government ... in order to bring about change. On the other hand, “insurrection” refers specifically to a violent uprising or rebellion, often with the aim of overthrowing a government or other established authority."

Link removal from wordle
Hi Bojo, you have removed a link from the wordle, i have added a link to https://connectionsnytunlimited.com/ as it is a new game tat has been launched after wordle. and its similar to it. 202.163.64.101 (talk) 18:38, 27 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I suggest you review Wikipedia’s policy on external links to avoid. That site seems to be (at best) indirectly related to the article. (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  18:49, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Nothing in that article establishes that he is from or lives in Satellite Beach, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Also if it did, you would need to add a citation to the article itself along with the addition. (bojo)  (they/them)  (talk)  17:07, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
