Mansa Musa
There are several references to this mans penchant for slaves one is here http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/africanpassageslowcountryadapt/introductionatlanticworld/slaverybeforetrade  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.97.39.126 (talk) 08:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello, 88.97.39.126. Thanks for your message.  I haven't looked really closely yet, but the source that you included above seems fine.  When I reverted this edit to Mansa Musa, it wasn't because the information that you added wasn't necessarily valid; it was simply because there wasn't a source included.  If you want some help with citing sources, I would suggest checking out Wikipedia:Citing sources.  Thanks! TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 17:35, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

A Query concerning guestbooks
Could you please tell me how you created the guestbook. I too wanted to create one. I don't have the necessary skills involved. For that do we have to make a new user ID named 'Username/guestbook'. It's not urgent, reply whenever you get time. Nickjohndoe (talk) 04:00, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hi, . Thanks for your message!


 * You are really close with your guess to create a new user ID named, "Username/guestbook." Since guestbooks are simply subpages of a user's userpage, to create a guestbook we can type what follows in to the search box that is found in the upper right corner of Wikipedia:

User:Username/Subpage name


 * So, for me it would look like this:

User:TheLastClassicist1750/Guestbook


 * (Also, I am pretty sure that the subpage name is case-sensitive; if you want the word, "Guestbook," in the title to be capitalized then I suggest that you capitalize it, just in case, though when you create the page it might just automatically be lowercase. I can't remember what I did, but mine isn't capitalized)


 * When we hit the enter key in the search box, it will bring us to a page with the title we entered, but the page's content is a modest box that starts with, "Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact name." Now, up at the top of the page, just to the left of the search box, where the tabs with options to edit or view the page history usually are, there will be a button that is titled, "Create."  If you click that, the page will be created.  Afterwards, I believe that you will have to click the usual "Edit" button, and then you can fill in the page as you wish.  (And it's a good idea to check out Subpages before creating the page, as the informational box on the un-created guestbook page will also advise you to do; though guestbooks are totally fine by rule number 2 of the "Allowed Uses" that can be found on that page, its always a good idea to check out the guidelines anyway.)


 * And two little tips/ideas for formatting the page:


 * 1. Where the " # " symbol is used, numbers will be filled in by order, like this:

User's Guestbook
 * 1) User
 * 2) User
 * 3) User
 * 4) User
 * 5) User


 * That looks like this:


 * User's Guestbook
 * User
 * User
 * User
 * User
 * User


 * 2. I, personally, think that signing with four tildes ( ~ ) is a nice option for guestpage signing, because then we can find when people signed without having to sort through the page history.


 * Also, once we have a subpage of the userpage (in this case, a guestbook), we will need to make a link to it on the userpage, so that other editors can find it. This is simple; we can just place the exact, full name of the new subpage in a link on the userpage.  For example, for me, I might put this on my own userpage to get to the guestbook:

(on this side of the upright slash, I can put writing for however I want the link to appear


 * I hope that I didn't complicate this too much; really, don't worry! You will find that it is easier than it looks  TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 00:44, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your guidance. I think I know now how to create a guestbook. You explained it so well. Thanks for taking the time to help me. I will let you know when I have created it. Nickjohndoe (talk) 03:18, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 03:37, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

A pie for you!

 * Thanks for the pie, ! Your guestbook looks great!  Also, you really didn't need to give me credit; that's very, very kind of you though.  Nice job! TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 16:28, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

Assume good faith please and don’t auto revert IPs please
I changed a single street name and it appears you assumed it’s vandalism since you called it non constructive...I’m here to tell you that you made a mistake. You obviously didn’t bother to check the recent article history and automatically assumed an edit by an IP was vandalism when it was not. If you did you would have seen that I wrote the section I was supposedly vandalizing and if you read the reference, it will show that it is correct. Please don’t automatically assume bad faith. Big headed users like you are what discourages new contributors from editing and gives the community a bad and unwelcoming reputation. Please assume assume good faith and be do your due diligence when you revert others contributions and leave them undeserved angry messsages. I will revert your edit now and correct the mistake you put back in the article. Ty 2001:5B0:4FC1:D268:8B0:B1B9:C2F:AC8B (talk) 06:29, 16 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, 2001:5B0:4FC1:D268:8B0:B1B9:C2F:AC8B. Thank you for your message, and I hope that you are very well.  You are right, and I will admit that I did not review the page history well enough.  When I reverted this edit of yours, I made a foolish mistake, and for that, I sincerely apologize.  I will have you know though, that I did not assume bad faith, and that I really, honestly, did not intend for my message on your talk page to sound angry.  Once again, thanks for notifying me of my error, and I am glad that we are able to get this cleared up.  If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to leave me another message.  Thanks!

 * No prob, it happens, I probably got more riled up about it than I should have. You seem like a nice person.2001:5B0:4FC1:D268:6DB3:E953:4C0A:33D1 (talk) 00:21, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I do try to be a nice person, as I'm sure we all do. Thank you for your kind words.  Once again, my apologies, and please don't worry about getting a little riled up about it; as you said, it happens.  TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 00:53, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Response to TheLastClassicist on the Nicolas Chauvin page. Response to incorrect accusations of bias.
Edit: I cannot deleted this because it instantly gets flagged as vandalism trying to remove that much text, but everything below is wrong. I misunderstood the notification I got and realized the "talk" link was not directed at me but at another user who was not signed in and actually vandalized the page. Thank you for the work you do and I apologize for my misunderstanding with the editing system. I now realize the only reason my username was associated with your edit was because I was the last one to make a revision before you. Now to clean the egg off my face...

Hello TheLastClassicist1750, I noticed you marked my edit saying it "seemed less than neutral and has been removed." Firstly, what you said isn't true, because you didn't undo my edit, the bitcoin conversion is gone as it should be. This was the only thing I ever changed. You absolutely did not "remove" anything as you state, because I didn't add anything to the article, I simply removed completely irrelevant and inaccurate information. Secondly, how can deleting objectively irrelevant currency conversions possibly be seen as being biased? It absolutely is not. You seemed to have an issue with the comment associated with the edit and not the edit itself. Ignoring the comment, my edit served to make the page both objectively more accurate (because any conversion to BTC will be completely inaccurate within a day), while also removing a conversion to a random currency that makes no sense to covert to in the context of the article. His pension should not be listed in BTC, nor rupees, nor Yuan, because that would make no sense in the context of the article and add nothing. BTC is particularly egregious to use in this article because it didn't exist during the relevant period. If anything, inserting BTC into this article (referring to a time when BTC did not exist) makes the article less neutral. My removal of this information, such that only the most relevant currency is listed, served to make the article both more accurate and unbiased.

When you moderate these pages, please refrain from saying one thing and doing another. I would also ask that you do not mark an edit as being biased and then not revert those edits, perhaps because you realized the edit was not biased at all. Why even mark my edit, only to do nothing? Finally, I will ask that you not flag users using RedWarn when no violations or vandalism occurred. What I did was the complete opposite; I was simply improving the page and making sure biased, irrelevant information was excluded. Thank you.


 * Hello TheLastClassicist1750, I must sincerely apologize because I am new to wikipedia editing and I incorrectly assumed that your message was directed at me. Clearly it was not, and I am sorry for my misguided and unnecessary rebuttal. Enjoy the rest of your day and I apologize again for my misunderstanding. - Dylan


 * Hey there, . Thanks for your messages.  It's totally alright that there was a misunderstanding in the page history at Nicolas Chauvin.  We all make mistakes sometimes, and thanks for the additional messages to clear it up.  Likewise, you enjoy the rest of your day too!  Don't feel badly, please.  It's not a problem at all!


 * PS: I must say that I did chuckle a little when I saw that the edit before yours was adding a conversion between bitcoins and the francs of revolutionary France! Thanks for fixing that.  TheLastClassicist1750 (talk) 23:16, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
