User talk:Popart1999

Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like it here! Here are a few important links for new-ish editors:

Reliable sources, CITE, WP:V and WP:NPOV How to edit a page; How to develop articles; Editing tutorial Manual of Style; Writing better articles The five pillars of Wikipedia Editing by consensus – working well with other Wikipedians

If you'd like some help with editing or otherwise, you can sign up at the new users log, post a question at the Help Desk, or ask me on my talk page.

It is a good idea to read the most recent entries at the bottom of the Talk page of an existing article before making major changes to it, to see if your proposed change has been discussed before. Before I make a major change to an article, I often make a proposal on the Talk page to see if anyone minds.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. If you add or change a fact in a Wikipedia article, please cite the source where you got your information. For more information, please see WP:V. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:09, 20 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Yeah, sorry, the source is already cited at the end of the sentence, it just says "nursing home", not "mental hospital". I was expecting to say that in the small popup where I can write a short comment, but it didn't pop up. Not sure why. I don't do this often. Popart1999 (talk) 17:18, 20 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Not sure why.  There should always be a way to leave an edit summary.  Ganzl says that her husband spent his final years in an asylum.  I'm sure Ganzl is right.  I'll fix the ref.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That was a naïve move by me, basing it just on the one cited source. I should have opened a comment on the talk page I guess, asking someone knowledgeable to look into it? Popart1999 (talk) 17:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)


 * No, it's fine to WP:BEBOLD and make the change based on the cited WP:RS. The only thing you need to do is add an edit summary like "the ref at the end of the senence says x." I guess if you cannot leave an edit summary or forget to do so, you could then drop a quick note on the Talk page.  But you did a good job noticing the issue, and now we have added a better ref for this fact, so thank you!  Good to meet you!  If you are interested in G&S, please do look in on some of our other articles. -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * That's very kind, thanks. I'll be totally frank, my interest is mainly in Topsy-Turvy the 1999 film, which I've rewatched many times. Popart1999 (talk) 18:31, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries. But if you live in the UK, check out https://gsfestivals.org/  They have an awesome professional G&S repertory company that will give numerous performances in Buxton in early August.  They might convert you into a real G&S fan!  -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:46, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
