 * Hey VikingDrummer, many thanks for your greetings. I will try to learn how to write in the englisch Wiki und looking at the pecularities/differences to the german Wiki. If I will make mistakes, please correct them. Don't by angry. Thanks and greetings. KaliNala (talk) 13:41, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, e (mathematical constant), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a reliable citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello DVdm, what*s wrong with the source ? Why is it not reliable. In the german Wiki it would be. Is https://www.intmath.com/blog/mathematics/today-is-e-day-4133] a reliable source ? Please tell me what to do. I want a serious contribution to the article.--KaliNala (talk) 15:19, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Please stop and think for a moment: is it possible that this trivial joke is one of the absolutely most important things that would merit it being included in the lead section (the section whose role is to summarize the whole article) of an article about e? The answer is "obviously not", and you absolutely must stop adding it there.  I am skeptical that it merits any mention anywhere in the article, but if you would like to make that case, you should go to the article talk-page and include the absolutely strongest sources you can find that support it, and editors of the page can discuss whether it would be appropriate for inclusion.  (For reference, you may find it useful to compare with the treatment of Pi day in the article Pi: the sourcing there includes a national US newspaper, a national UK newspaper, and Math Horizons, and it gets four sentences buried in an "in popular culture" section.  Since e-day is a nearly unknown riff on this already niche joke, the prominence of e-day will necessarily be considerably less, if it is mentioned at all.) --JBL (talk) 16:38, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , I'll add to what user JBL said, that (1) blogs are not reliable sources —see the policy wp:BLOGS— and (2) it is not because something is accepted in the German language Wikipedia, it can be accepted here—see the essay wp:otherstuffexists. Cheers. - DVdm (talk) 16:50, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , Please stop and think for a moment : It's no joke, its very serious. There are Universities in Germany und in the USA celebrating this day to make mathematics - not only facts about e - more popular. There could be another place to write something about e-day, ok, i don't say it must be the entrance section. But you don't want some sentences about e-day, ok, i don't try it again next time. I feel i am not welcome here. Cheers. --KaliNala (talk) 19:12, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You are welcome here, but blogs as sources are not . - DVdm (talk) 19:19, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
