I am new to this Wiki process and not familiar with sandboxes or talk pages, etc. I do not intend to make it my job to review Wiki articles. When I was doing family research the other night, I happened to notice the typo on Wikipedia— or perhaps the intentional misspelling of a great ancestor of mine, Samuel Goldwyn on my father’s side of the family. In a number of cases, whoever wrote the article misspelled “Goldish” as “Goldfish” (putting an ‘F’ in the middle of the name). I was merely trying to correct all of those incorrect occurrences in the article. I do not keep a genealogy of family history, so I can’t show you a family tree. Perhaps someone else in my family can. I just know that Mr. Goldwyn and I are from the same family and lineage. The name “Goldish” has often been mistyped and mispronounced as “Goldfish”. Furthermore, all Goldishes across the country are related, as it is a unique name.

The way I heard about my relation to ancestor Samuel Goldwyn was from my father, Samuel I. Goldish and my grandmother, Sadie L. Goldish, both originally from Ohio. They used to mention that an ancestry of Goldishes emigrated from somewhere in Eastern Europe, sometime in the 1800’s, I believe. When they arrived at Ellis Island, an immigration officer asked what their surname was. In my family, it is said that our last name was originally either “Goldas” or “Goldis”, and that the immigration officer recorded for the record, “Goldish”. Many of the family from there settled in Minnesota, while others made their home in Ohio.

If you feel that your article (or whoever wrote it) is correct, could you please send me the documentation you have on file that supports your claim that Samuel Goldwyn was also referred to as Samuel “Goldfish” (with an ‘F).

My intent in the editing was not to cause any “warring”, but merely to correct the article.

Yours truly, David Goldish Dgoldish@aol.com

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Samuel Goldwyn. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Ifnord (talk) 14:39, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
