Happy editing! Drmies (talk) 02:22, 8 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Drmies!
 * Thank you!
 * Please note that I think I'm dealing with some vandalism from the same user (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:My_very_best_wishes), who removed my last edits without any argument. Karson Paisley (talk) 02:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Membrane protein, you may be blocked from editing. ''You need to stop edit warring: you may discuss your proposed edits on the relevant article talk page. Also, "vandalism" is described in WP:VANDAL; please do not make false accusations of vandalism.'' Drmies (talk) 02:32, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * "Disruptive editing is a pattern of editing that disrupts progress toward improving an article or building the encyclopedia."
 * I don't understand: I made a change that I thought was improving the article, by replacing a static image by a dynamic view of the 3D structure. It has been removed without any discussion.
 * But OK, I'll go on the talk page. Karson Paisley (talk) 02:41, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, in both cases the other editor provided an argument. At that moment it becomes the original editor's burden to argue the point, in a cycle called WP:BRD; good luck convincing the other editor. Oh, that other editor has been here a while; they are not a vandal. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:24, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I apologize for my behavior. I should have learned the rules first. Karson Paisley (talk) 10:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Birth dates
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Robin Antin. In, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware that many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases or genealogical websites (which are also typically user-generated, as above). This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like The New York Times or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:32, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thank you for your message.
 * Every single Robin Antin's Wikipedia page other than the English one (15 pages, in the following languages: العربية ,مصرى, 日本語, 한국어, Русский, Dansk, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Latviešu, Lietuvių, Polski, Suomi, Svenska, and עברית) mention that her birth date is July 6, 1961.
 * That's why I felt pretty confident adding this data to the English version.
 * Can't we consider it as common knowledge? Do I still need to use a reference? Karson Paisley (talk) 21:15, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
