Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living person, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 06:40, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Me and Earl and the Dying Girl (film), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.--Jockzain (talk) 01:35, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Hello, thanks for talking on me on my talk page regarding this issue. First of all, you should watch your tone when talking to other editors at Wikipedia, writing in rude tone and accusing of me "Anti-Semitism" was not fair. You don't know me personally. Coming back to the topic, I was trying to find reliable sources to show that the character of Rachel Kushner was Jew in the film, because you didn't mention from the start that you have seen the film already and making the edits based on that. So I have no idea about you already seen the film which I haven't yet and was trying the find the reliable sources which can support your edit and finally found one here. So I have already changed wake to Shiva in the article.--Jockzain (talk) 11:12, 8 July 2015 (UTC) First of all, sorry if you had the impression I was accusing YOU of anti-semitism, because that was not my intent, and if anything, it was a reflection of the original author's article, because the film (which I had not only seen, but also mentioned that fact in my original post/attempted edit) It is more a reflection of my frustration at both the intellectual laziness of the original article's author - because it was so plainly, patently obvious that the character was in fact Jewish, as well as his/her notion that the term "wake" can be something of an world-wide, acceptable term for the post-funeral gathering, given both the character's clearly described religious beliefs, as well as the fact that a Menorah can be seen in various scenes in the film, including the memorial service. Another bit of frustration is the technically challenging, if nearly impossible process the whole Wikiepedia system is set up for editing. I do not consider myself any type of technophobe, but it was also very frustrating to try to edit what I thought was such a clear-cut, simple and factual part of an article. Again, no personal offense intended, but the entire Wikipedia system is extremely frustrating to utilize. Just a suggestion for future changes. Philaguy (talk) 20:43, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
