Attack semantics
Following Nihonjoe's closure link in Talk:2017_Westminster_attack, I was reading Village_pump_(miscellaneous)/Archive_56 and noticed you mentioned July 11:
 * it's only ever articles covering domestic Islamic terrorism that brings about these sorts of accusations of bias. Note the articles above. Never domestic far right, Marxist, or foreign Islamic terrorism

Subsequently, I was involved in an August discussion about an issue which falls outside of domestic Islamic terrorism at Talk:2017_Charlottesville_attack.

Do you know how I might go about re-opening this village pump discussion? Regardless of whatever bias User:Alfred Nemours had (apparently a sockpuppet) I think this is a good discussion to have.

I'd always assumed WP:BLPCRIME protections were actually enforced and that any article titled "attack" already had a criminal conviction, but beginning with Fields' case where I happened to read about an alleged attack still undergoing a trial process, I began to realize that this and then other cases mentioned at vehicle-ramming attack have this problem of deferring to WP:COMMONNAME to call something an "attack" instead of deferring to BLP:CRIME and using neutral vocabulary to describe it as a suspected crime prior to a criminal conviction.

So far I was nominating for moves individually for recent cases where I notice people are still alive and still unconvicted, but now I'm wondering if we could just have a collective discussion like this on it somewhere. ScratchMarshall (talk) 19:55, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Boudica
Thanks for removing Gargoyles (TV series) from the list of depictions in the Boudica article. She is not actually depicted in the series. A "gargoyle beast" (gargoyles with animal intelligence and dog-like bodies) in the series is simply named after her. The character profile is here: https://www.gargwiki.net/Boudicca

Devil May Cry: 3142
For some reason I can't find it anywhere. I only got one scan about Dante and Lucia and some interviews about Bingo Morihashi and the staff in general. What I think something about the franchise is lacking is creation information about Vergil's alterego Nelo Angelo and what was Capcom's attempt to use him in DMC4SE.

A few things on recent Famitsu refs you're adding
First off, thanks for adding the sources because for the most part it's an improvement. I wanted to ask a couple things though.

TarkusAB talk 12:00, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Can you please format the sources better? You'll see on most of these GA articles, all the dates are formatted in the same way, make your your date fields are formatted the same way. Also make sure the website= field is formatted correctly too. In many of the GA articles I wrote, I change that to just be the name of the website, like "IGN, or "GameSpot", so Famitsu should follow in kind and be "Famitsu", not "www.famitsu.com". Just make sure the style matches in the article you're editing.
 * 2) Many times the release date is already sourced, so you don't need to add the famitsu reference.
 * 3) You really don't need to add the phrase "Famitsu reviewed and gave a score of..." to the reception section. In fact this is usually worse, as all the other comments read more smoothly and are about content. Ideally we want to know what they said, and include those comments. The infobox really shouldn't be used as a score aggregator, but in the interest to gather views from Japan, I think it's OK for now.

The King of Fighters '99
I noticed you reorganized the article The King of Fighters '99 and wanted to know for a reason. I don't wanna argue or anything but it just seemed weird to put the sales in the release section of game considering how the manual of style or FA tends to organize sales. Also, do you think the Battle de Paradise information could be moved to gameplay since it's a console gameplay similar to the edit and challenge modes from XI. Since this is a GAN, I want to know your opinion about it. Nevertheless, thanks for the editing. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:32, 15 November 2018 (UTC)


 * By the way, thanks for adding the Famitsu review. If possible, could you add it to the section in prose? I don't understand Japanese.Tintor2 (talk) 23:57, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, my thinking is that the release section should be the release history of the game, including sales, advertisements. Critical reception is kind of different, and is more what critics thought about the series, which is subjective. This is just my thinking. If the FA guidelines are differnet, go with that.
 * Famitsu has an utterly baffling system where they list the review score and what issue it came in, but only list excerpts from the written review. I think it's the first sentence in every paragraph. Thus, what you get from the web-page is less than helpful, and more confusing than anything. So typically, pages just include the famitsu scores. Harizotoh9 (talk) 10:05, 16 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. I'll remove the Famitsu score since there is no material to include in the article.Tintor2 (talk) 15:58, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Made a brief rearrange in regards to how the game can be connected to another KOF game. By the way, once this article is reviewed, can you check the review alongside? I don't consider myself an expert. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:55, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Most articles include as many Japanese review scores as they can for completeness, as we should aim to get as much of an international perspective, and to balance between retrospective and contemporary reviews. But most of the time we just have the numbers, but even with just the score it still has a lot of value. If you check, most GA or FA articles will include the Famitsu review scores. Examples: Parasite_Eve_(video_game), Super Mario World, Clock_Tower_(1995_video_game), Sweet_Home_(video_game), etc.

Later on, we should try to expand to include the actual content of the reviews. People have just started scanning old Weekly Famitsu pages, and we have maybe 20 of them scanned.

As for checking the review, I'm no expert and I'm pretty hazy on a lot of the details of GA or FA guidelines. Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:26, 17 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, the Nintendo reviews deal with a more retrospective point of view. Sadly, we don't know too much about the Famitsu. Since I'm from South America, I'll see if I can find a Spanish review.Tintor2 (talk) 02:50, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Thanks for starting this article with translating the sourced information from Japanese Wikipedia and providing attribution on the talk page. One small suggestion for future articles I have would be to include an infobox. Other than that looks good so far.

I actually own the Nostalgic Famicom Perfect Guide, so I was able to just read the book directly, so those sections weren't really translation. Also, I'm uncertain about how to format refs for some of the books. Nostalgic Perfect Guide is all English loan words spelled out in Japanese, so it's easy to translate. For the other JP books, they are proper Japanese words, so I just left them written in Japanese. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:53, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Did you mean to restore the notability template here? In your edit summary you mentioned third-party sources, but I didn't remove the BLP primary sources tag, just the notability one. Are you arguing that an h-index of 40 and all the rest doesn't mean WP:PROF? Guettarda (talk) 21:02, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes. Nothing about WP:PROF says that having a certain h-index means they automatically get an article. The only reference on the page to h-index in fact is to be cautious with it. If an academic has made significant contributions to their field, then surely third party sources should have mentioned it right? Criteria #1 ends with "as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.". Which has not been done so far. Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:44, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Well obviously nothing about h-index demonstrates anything on its own, but then, I never said "h-index alone", either in my edit summary or my comment here.
 * If an academic has made significant contributions to their field, then surely third party sources should have mentioned it right? Um, no - people don't write about notable academics - instead, they cite their work. That's the whole point of having the subject-specific guideline - so that we can cover serious topics, instead of just writing about celebrities and sport stars. So that we cover people who make actual, important contributions, even if they don't catch the attention of gossip columnists. Or did you miss the whole Donna Strickland issue?

Providence(religious movement)
Hi Harizotoh,

I sent this message to Ravensfire and wanted to send the same to you. I would like to work in good faith on this article, if you do not have the time then I would prefer to work with those who do have time.

I find it troubling that information that is relevant and reliably sourced (i.e. perjury conviction; major media companies admitting to doctoring videos of Jung; and other) are not being added to the page because in the opinion of a few editors that it paints the subject in a more positive light.

Additionally, several sources are currently being used with information that was later retracted by media companies, as well as sources that are sensational/not reliable.

I understand the subject matter sensitive, but that is why I believe it is important to get it right. How do you propose we address these concerns on the page? My thought is that we should delete all controversial or improperly sourced material until information can be properly vetted.

I would like to work with you in good faith on these issues, any help would be much appreciated.

If not, perhaps there are other admins that would be able to assist.

 * That's been on my to-do list for a while, I just put it off. On the talk page, zero people supported keeping that section. It's pure apologetics for the religion. It's like we had a section on a mormon page that was just mormon apologetics. And the editor never bothers to discuss it. But on the other hand, I was the only one bothering to actually change the page. I think a lot of the other editors were apathetic. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Japanese games
Hi there! :) I remembered the work you put into Boxer's Road, and I see that you seem to have some knowledge of Japanese games in general.  You may be aware that I am working my way through Next Generation magazine, which I am sure you are aware seems to have covered Japanese games more than any other US publication did.  So it is not uncommon for me to find games that appear to have few or no reviews in other English sources.  I have created more than a few such articles, and I was wondering if you could take a look at them?  Another problem I have encountered is that it is not always easy to tell if an article already exists for the game under another name (although in several cases I was able to create a redirect instead of starting a new article when I found this to be the case) so some of them may need to be merged into a duplicate article for the same game.  However, I do prefer not to merge articles about games in a series to the series page if we can find enough sources to build the article. Would you mind taking a look to see what you can do with these? Thanks! BOZ (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

I started by looking at the first four issues of Next Gen, and will go through the rest before long:
 * 1): The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO
 * 2): Real Pinball, Ultraman (video game), Super Afterburner, Super Space Harrier
 * 3): Ghost Hunter (video game), Mazinger Z (video game)
 * 4): Tama: Adventurous Ball in Giddy Labyrinth

That's a maybe. I expanded the Boxer Road page since I'm such a fan of New Corp, and especially their game The Adventure of Little Ralph. Now, if sufficient information can't be found, then it might be better to redirect to the series page, or a list or something. Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:22, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Sources in regards to Metal Black's origins as Darius III
Hey! I really want to improve Taito's Metal Black article but there's one huge roadblock for me in terms of its origins; Its relation with Darius. Metal Black was intended to be the third entry, I know that, but the sources is what i'm looking the most, including Senba Takahatsu's website, which cotainted said info. Can you help me in this regard? Roberth Martinez (talk) 10:07, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No, I don't. For this kind of info, you'll have to check Japanese mags sources. Have you checked Gamest? Since it's an early 90's arcade game, they might have covered it. There's a Gamest Fansite that catalogues all the issues and what was covered in each one. According to this, the game was covered in volumes 66, 67, 68, and 97. The Saturn version was covered in 197.

For the other source, check 90's Saturn mags. The only other source I can think of is Gameside and their Shooting Gameside series. Have you heard of them? I think they were a Japanese gaming magazine, and after the magazine closed they released compilation series of based on genre, with like 12 volumes of "Shooting Gamside" which focused on "stg" or shmups.

Collaboration
Would you like to collaborate and bring an article on an obscure Japanese game to GA status? Cotton: Fantastic Night Dreams might be a good choice since it's getting re-released and will get some attention. I think there might be enough sources to get it there. I'm open to suggestions though. What do you think? TarkusAB talk 19:54, 21 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Just to be upfront, my weaknesses are: 1. Can't read Japanese. 2. My prose and grammar are kind of weak. 3. A bit vague on MOS.


 * For Cotton, that game could work, since I think it's at that critical mass of sources, both contemporary and retrospective. I'm actually not a big STG fan myself, but it's an influential game and I like the retro cutsy stuff. A few other Japan only games that I think are at a critical mass of sources:


 * Adventure of Little Ralph, PS, 2D platformer. Only five in-depth sources, but there might be enough for GA. The dev section relies on interviews from GSLA, which means "mystery box sources". It might make sense to wait until more JP mags are scanned so we can figure out where those interviews are from.
 * Gley Lancer - STG with anime cutscenes, JP only. I added a bunch of reviews. Actually a bland game, and I agree with the low scored reviews.
 * Assault Suit Leynos 2 - JP 2D mecha platformer. Found 9 reviews so far. Can't find anything modern on it.
 * Front Mission Series: Gun Hazard - JP only, but some reviews. Super Play has a 5 page review absolutely trashing the game as a lame Assault Suits Valken rip-off. Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:35, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
 * OK, I'm not particularly interested in working on those other articles, so Cotton it is? You may have weaknesses, but you are really good at tracking down sources and adding obscure information to the articles. We can support each other with our strengths. I can read and translate Japanese (much faster than most but still somewhat slow), my prose and grammar are pretty good, and I'm very familiar with MOS. If you can compile all the sources, either by adding them to the article or listing others on the talk page, I can comb through them all and write and format most of the article.

Review table scores
I've been holding myself back on saying something for a while, but I feel this problem is growing and something needs to be said.

The video game review table is supposed to be supplemental to the text. It is not supposed to be a collection of every review score known. As the template guideline reads: "Every single-site review source should be used within the reception section. The reviews table supports the text. It is not to replicate the function of external review aggregators." This guideline is based on the "Wikipedia is not..." guideline Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

I've noticed a lot of your edits have been adding scores to these tables, without any supplemental text. While it's not so much a problem on underdeveloped articles, it is a concern on high quality articles that are written better, like Good/Featured articles. I think such efforts, while amicable, would be better spent on a website like Sega Retro or NEC Retro. I'm going to go back soon and start to undo some of these changes that were done on those high quality articles. TarkusAB talk 12:07, 8 June 2019 (UTC)


 * I'll explain some of my thought process.
 * The obvious solution is to incorporate the reviews into the text of the body, which I plan on doing just not right away. Some of the articles I've added to are kind of lacking in reviews, and more reviews would be needed to expand the article, especially if they are to be brought to FA status. Also, Wikipedia is meant to represent a WP:WORLDWIDE viewpoint, and it is not meant to be just Americans. Typically a lot of pages are sampling the same 2-4 Anglo-American writers over and over again.


 * Retro reviewers represent one viewpoint, but not the only viewpoint, since they're often big fans of these kinds of games. Contemporary reviews are more varied, and sometimes quite critical. Ideally equal amount to Japanese, import, and retrospective reviews would be paid. We don't have many Japanese sources, so those can be added later, but we do have Euro and Latin reviews now.


 * There's also the issue of notability. As written, the WP:GNG are quite strict, but in practice, it's a lot more lenient, but we should follow the letter of the rules rather than the more lenient defacto practices. As written, Clock Tower (1995 video game) might not have enough sources to justify its own article, and relies a bit too heavily on primary sources. I was totally shocked at how little I found, and I would have assumed N Life would have reviewed it. As the rules are written, that probably means it should be merged into the greater Clock Tower series article. The solution to that would be to find more sources, which I've added to the talk page.


 * Articles also should be future proofed. There's no telling if, say 50 years from now, some editors question why there's so many pages on niche Japanese games that rely on relatively few sources. You could just as easily argue that articles on games never released outside of Japan constitutes WP:INDISCRIMINATE information. No rules dictate that every game should get a page.


 * Also, HG101 is deemed a very situation source, where only Kurt Katala's articles are deemed reliable. There's a general sloppiness to HG101's articles, with lots of little errors. Just for examples, their Cocoron article claims that Akira Kitamura (director of MM1-2) also directed Little Samson. I emailed Kurt about that, and he defended it initially and pointed to fan wikis which list him as having worked on the game. That made me really question that site's quality standards. Their page on Deep Fear also gets major plot points wrong too. These are just two examples, but I could go on.


 * I'd rather not use such a questionable source. Clock Tower would be the perfect example where HG101 can be phased out entirely without much disruption to the page. Harizotoh9 (talk) 19:54, 8 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Alright I think you went a bit off the rails from what my original message was getting to.
 * Anyways, agree on some of your sentiments, disagree on others. However, when we're talking about GA/FA type stuff (and that stuff only), I don't agree with your methods of score collecting. So it goes. TarkusAB talk 03:25, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Archive.org questions
Hey there, I'm hoping you can help me with something since you seem smart with how archive.org work. I recently uploaded a couple Neo Geo magazines to archive.org, my first uploads: Neo Geo World Vol 1 and Neo Geo All Catalog. (Did not scan them myself, they were shared on a neo geo forum) I have two questions: Thank you TarkusAB talk / contrib 03:03, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Do you know how I can move them to another collection? By default, they were uploaded to the "Community texts" collection, but I think they belong in the "Game and Gamer Magazines" collection.
 * 2) Do you know how I can change the image thumbnails to the covers? The thumbnails defaulted to random pages.

Archive is a powerful tool but kind of annoying to use, which is why I don't bother. It's mostly trained on public domain files and has more difficulties with 20th century material.

1. A bot will come along to guess which collection it belongs to based on topics and descriptions. Otherwise you will have to email archive directly to tell them to move it to the right collection.

2. Archive tries to guess the title page and it was trained on books from the 18th to 19th century in the public domain. To change it manually you have to edit the scandata.xml file.

3. For many Japanese magazines and books they will have to be made to read right to left. Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:27, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * DUDE!!! That is one rare Nee Geo magazine you found out (next to Neo Geo Tsūshin) Roberth Martinez (talk) 04:00, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Really? Glad I was able to help. Someone uploaded them to the neo-geo.com forums recently. I rarely browse there but stumbled upon it and I took it upon myself to upload to archive....and thanks Harizotoh, I was able to fix the thumbnails and will wait for the bot to fix the collections. And thanks for the tip on changing the page progression! TarkusAB talk / contrib 04:17, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

Reviews for NamCollection
Hey there. I've been meaning to patch up NamCollection for some time now, and I'm having trouble finding any reviews for it. You seem really good at finding obscure sources, so maybe you could take a crack at it? Right now its notability is very shakey and I'm skeptical if it's even notable enough to have an article. Thanks! Namcokid 47  17:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * My gut says that compilation games aren't interesting or notable enough for their own page and should probably just have a sub-section on the page for the series. The gameplay and stories are going to be the same, and the reviews will mostly just be whether it's a good enough ports or not. A bit boring. As for reviews, dig through archive, or German-French-Brazillian reviews and see what you can find. Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Woodroar. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on LowTierGod, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Woodroar (talk) 19:54, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes, I'm aware of these policies. His name is Dale Emanuel Wilson. "Dalauan Sparrow" is a fake online name he uses. Similarly, there's no citation for "Dalauan Sparrow" either. Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * That name is used in all of his social media accounts. It is not in question. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  20:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

His birth name is Dale Emanuel Wilson and "Dalauan Sparrow" is a fake name he uses online because he doesn't want his real name out there. Yes, I'm aware he uses it on all his social media, but it's not his real name. I'm in the gaming scene so I've been following this guy for years. The fact that there's no reliable sources that cover his actual birth name suggests he isn't notable enough at all. The page should probably be sent to WP:AFD. He's only notable for one event (WP:ONEEVENT), which is being banned from Evo. The rest are trivial mentions. This should be covered in a few sentences in the history of evo article.Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If you're aware of our policies and you also think he's not notable, then why do you keep adding his full name all over Wikipedia? WP:BLPPRIVACY is clear that we don't do that, and BLP applies everywhere on the site. Woodroar (talk) 21:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Tagging pages for deletion
Hello, Harizotoh9,

When you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/TFD/CFD/etc.), you need to leave an accurate edit summary stating this. For instance, should an editor remove your PROD tag from LowTierGod, we need to be able to see that it had already been PROD'd once and we see that by looking at edit summaries. Also, any time you tag a page, you must post a notice on the talk page of the page creator. If you make use of Twinkle, the program will do this automatically for you once you set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator" so this makes it easy. I recommend using it if you think you'll do more tagging of pages for deletion. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 06:18, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

What's wrong? The Dallas Observer article says: " and their ovens are hand-built in Venice.". Is it wrong to characterize the ovens as Venice made? Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:46, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * This sentence "00 flour from Naples, get their tomatoes from Campania and their ovens are hand-built in Venice. Pizzas are baked in custom-made black steel pans also imported from Italy" is out of place, seems like a copy error. <b style="color:black">Vaseline</b><b style="color:lightgrey">eeeeeee</b>★★★ 21:25, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Huh? You don't copy text on Wikipeida. Text is copyrighted but facts are not. Is it factually inaccurate? The order doesn't matter.

Also, multiple articles and Franzese himself keep talking about "15 million" in restitution, not 15+ 3 = 18. My guess is that the 3 million is bundled in the 14.7 the other sources talk about, thus its' double counting. Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:07, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Georgia Guidestones
You changed the text I added to add a dangling modifier. I wrote: The remaining stones were dismantled by authorities later in the day with a backhoe. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) reported the demolition was done for for safety reasons. which you changed to: The remaining stones were dismantled by authorities later in the day with a backhoe for safety reasons according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. I tried to put it in one sentence but the problem is that it is unclear. Is it according to the GBI that it was done for safety reasons? Or that it was demolished with a backhoe? Or that it was demolished at all. The least awkward way to word it to be unambiguous is to use two sentences. Shorter is not always better. Note that if you read, for example, the New York Times article it puts "for safety reasons" in quotes (presumably because they don't have other sources to verify that) but says it was demolished without quotes.

Also note that the GBI uses the word "demolished" not "dismantled". something that's been dismantled might possibly be re-assembled; something that's been demolished generally can't be (see https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/demolish vs https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dismantle). Looking at photos of the demolition, demolished does seem more accurate.

Can you please restore the text to unambiguous wording?

Your revert of my edit to Georgia Guidestones
You reverted my edit clarifying the statement that the guidestones were demolished for "safety reasons." I wrote "I cannot find any independent reporting of this as fact" and you responded saying "The source of reporting is reuters." True and not my point. Yes, Reuters did report it and as responsible journalists they said this was what the GBI said. They did not independently vet this as fact nor did they cite any other sources to substantiate it.

As the text is now it has a dangling phrase in it: "The remaining stones were dismantled by authorities for safety reasons later in the day with a backhoe, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation." It is impossible to understand what part of the sentence before the comma is "according to the GBI." Is it that it was dismantled by authorities, that it was done for safety reasons, or that it was done with a backhoe? The reader can't tell. That's why I split it into two sentences.

Here's a rewording that fixes that.

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the remaining stones were dismantled by authorities for safety reasons later with a backhoe in the day.

2024 Varzaqan helicopter crash
You are engaging in edit warring. If your edit has been reverted, you are supposed to start a discussion about it on the talk page, not add it back again.

TASS is not on the list of deprecated sources. All media twist facts to favor their owners and sponsors, there's nothing unusual about that—that's why multiple sources should always be consulted. In this particular case, there's no reason for TASS to misreport. All they did here anyway was reporting what Iran's Deputy FM told an Iranian TV channel. If you suspect they have misquoted him or mistranslated him, you can visit IRIB's website and try to find the video yourself. Dismissing TASS's report out of hand because you dislike TASS is not appropriate for a Wikipedian. — UnladenSwallow (talk) 08:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Not all sources are made equal, and TASS is near the bottom of the barrel. It's a government media source from an authoritarian government, which makes it by definition unreliable. And yes, there's likelihood for mistranslation (From Persian, to Russian, then back to English), which is more reason to NOT use this. A source with better journalistic integrity that I could trust would ensure that the translation is accurate first before running it. So for these kind of details, we should hold off until high quality gold standard sources like AP or Reuters discuss it. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:24, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Sexual assault allegations regarding Morgan Spurlock
These are contained in part in the New York Times article. The Times article in turn contains a link to Spurling's own statement, not only cause the Times linked to it but also cause it is Spurlock's own words and statement; http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqc244 Was unsure how to add it, but hoping you might help me.Cathradgenations

Double spaces
Hi -- I reverted a couple of your edits because they removed double spaces -- on The Spider (magazine) and Munsey's Magazine. For The Spider I restored the infobox, but I haven't used the bot you used to archive links on Munsey's, so perhaps you could redo that edit? Please don't remove double spaces at the end of sentences in general -- it's a cosmetic edit (which is discouraged anyway) because it has no effect on the displayed version of the article, and it's usually there because it's the preference of the main editor of that article -- some editors just prefer it. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:45, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

TFA nom?
Hi, you have listed Segundo Romance for TFA at pending for August. I have tentatively reserved a date for it, but if you would still like it be considered you will need to nominate it at Today's featured article/requests, which is now open. Cheers. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:36, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page 2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 00:17, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
