User talk:LEGALEAGLE55

November 2017
Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Jeff Nady, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   20:27, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Two points about that message.


 * 1) It is difficult to see how you can expect anyone to provide a source for content which they are removing. LEGALEAGLE55 never added any content to the article, and so cannot be required to provide sources.
 * 2) You should not have restored the content which LEGALEAGLE55 had removed. The edit summary said "Lawsuit pending", and if you checked the cited source you will have seen that indeed it reports only an arrest, not a conviction. Under most circumstances Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons requires that we do not report allegations of criminal acts unless there has been a conviction.

 * JamesBWatson - Ummmm... that's.... weird.... something obviously went wrong somewhere, because I definitely did not intentionally revert this user's edit. For the record, YES... your reasons are absolutely correct and I'd obviously be a borderline ridiculous editor to revert this user's removal of content here and tell them that they added unsourced content. Thanks for fixing this and for letting me know. I'm a bit puzzled as to what happened, but I'll make sure to keep an eye on this. Hopefully this doesn't happen again....  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   21:41, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I was very surprised to see this from you, since my experience is that you normally know what you are doing, so it makes more sense to learn that it was a mistake. I see that you were using Huggle, which from my own experience I know can sometimes do unexpected things if you don't keep a very careful eye on it.

 * Hi JamesBWatson - HA! I'm happy to hear that your reaction here was of surprise; I would have been quite disappointed in myself if you had instead said, "Oh, this screw-up again...." :-). Yes, you are correct; I've lately been noticing on somewhat rare occasions that pressing a hotkey within Huggle will result in it taking the action twice (reverting the edit I intended, as well doing so again on the next edit in the queue). You'll see where I've sometimes had to go back and undo what it did. Huggle is an awesome tool, but it definitively has it's occasional drawbacks in very specific situations. I try my best to catch it when it tries to pull away from me, but inevitably, edits like this can fall through my "'wtf, Huggle!' radar". Thanks again for alerting me to what happened here. I definitely like to be informed aware of any events such as this, so that I can attempt to resolve them and figure out what caused it to happen.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:07, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I just reverted another of his edits on the grounds that he was removing content he felt was inaccurate. Was that pretty much the gist of the conversation here? sixty nine   • whaddya want? •  17:57, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Beemer69 - In a nutshell: I accidentally reverted an edit made by this user without knowing it, and JamesBWatson asked me about it because of how out-of-place it was (I warned the user for not citing a source when the user wasn't adding content but was removing content, and the summary the user added with his edit looked to be trying to state that the charges were pending and that this should be removed). I didn't think of the edit summary as a legal threat, but simply an attempt to state that there was an issue with the content and just not using the correct term. Please let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:50, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
