Do not remove wayback machine links
Hi! I saw this edit and reversed it

It's necessary to have Wayback Machine links as they provide a further resource for historical/antiquated topics. If you remove these links, readers will have no idea how to get to the former websites as these sites do not show up on Google. Not everyone is computer literate or savvy.

Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 04:19, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
 * There is NO website shown, the archive Wayback Machine shows only a calendar, indicating, how often someone has asked for this site. I don't understand you.--Eisbaer44 (talk) 06:59, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Edna Alford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CBC ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Edna_Alford check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Edna_Alford?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Tomson Highway
Just to let you know, the external link you added to Tomson Highway's article earlier today is the kind of link that we should be using as a footnoted reference for the article's content, rather than simply listing as a straight external link — it's not his own website about himself (the only thing an external links section should normally contain), but coverage about him in a media source which is perfectly appropriate for use as a footnoted reference. So I've converted it from an external link into a reference (ref name "skallerup", for the author's name) that I've added as a footnote to a few pieces of information in the article that were supported by it but didn't have footnotes on them yet. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 17:01, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Citations should cite content
Your citation, in the external links section, reformatted the page to break the WP:MOS format, and added extensive commentary into the External Links section. The commentary looks like it could use a rewrite for NPOV and then it could possibly be used in either INM or the White savior narrative in film article. I haven't vetted the source, so I'm not evaluating whether it's WP:RS, just explaining why I didn't accept your changes on on Idle No More. - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 17:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

May 2019
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The Revenant (2015 film). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. if it's not yet published, it is clearly not citing content in the article or available for "further reading" and adding it to articles is promotional. - CorbieV  ☊ ☼ 18:10, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Your edit of Bryan Sterling's mother's name
Hi, Eisbaer44. Members of Bryan Sterling's family have been having quite an external conversation about your change of his mother's name to Klara. We are unaware that she ever had this name. Could you tell us where you found this, please? Thank you. Loiswingerson (talk) 19:48, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

 * USHMM: Herrman (sic) *1893, Käthe (sic) *1895 and Bruno Zwerling, born 1922. I suppose, Käthe has been a sister of Hermann (in German only these two readings are usual: Herrmann OR Hermann)--Eisbaer44 (talk) 20:41, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Bruno, end of school year 1932/1933, pupil at Maximiliangymnasium Wien; at the end of school year 1933/1934 Jahresbericht des k.k. Maximiliangymnasiums in Wien (k.k. = kaiserlich-königlich = imperial & royal);Eisbaer44 (talk) 07:50, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

"Herman": 1931 at Wiener Zeitung, 1. 11. 1931, firm "Zwerling & Grob" in Vienna is liquidated (="Gewerbeauflösung"); Wiener Zeitung, 20. 7. 1928, "up to this date": "Herman Zwerling, Gemischtwarenhandel" (=general store; "im großen" = wholesale); new name: "Zwerling & Grob", Salomon Grob entered the business.Eisbaer44 (talk) 08:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation, which clarifies everything. Kathe (with umlaut) is the German form of "Katie" and short for Katherine. This was Herrman's wife and Bryan's mother--not Bryan's aunt nor Hermann's sister. I personally heard his mother refer to herself as "Katie" many times, most often quoting others as saying "Katie makes a good cup of tea." In other contexts I have seen her named as Ketherine. I suppose we could change it to the German word, but Katherine (the English form) might be just as good. Your other changes are fine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loiswingerson (talk • contribs) 15:14, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Rip-Off (film)
While your help is welcome, please try to check that you don't end up introducing format errors into an article, and f.y.i. "eligible" does not mean "available". ZarhanFastfire (talk) 03:09, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
