Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Oldest people. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. '' Please confine comments about improving the article to the talk page. Otherwise, be bold & fix it yourself. Snarkily putting in a end date is akin to vandalism.'' Peaceray (talk) 15:18, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Peaceray I did not add commentary to the article, nor was I snarkily committing vandalism. I made it more accurate. The list is not to the present; it is only up until the death date of the last man listed. You restored an inaccuracy. I would have fixed it myself, but when I tried to find out who was the current oldest man, there was a computer snafu and I couldn't. I hope someone else will. I put my comments on how to improve the article on the talk page, not into the article, so I don't understand what you're complaining about. If you can make the link work, please do fix the problem instead of reverting to an inaccuracy. WordwizardW (talk) 17:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Please go peruse the citations. You will see many current citations. For instance, the citation for Saturnino de la Fuente García is dated 8 February 2021. Therefore your edit summary that "The list is NOT up to the present" is at minimum partially incorrect.
 * IMHO, you failed to do your homework. Please check the sources next time before making a blanket inaccurate statement. If there are portions that are out of date, please do the legwork to find the citations to update it. Peaceray (talk) 18:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

 * If you encounter an out-of-date source, it is better to tag it with a template. Please see Update inline. Note that you can include a reason. Peaceray (talk) 19:16, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't understand how to tag with a template. I don't understand half of what you're saying. Peruse the citations? If the most recent oldest man is dead, with no live man after him, then OBVIOUSLY the list is not up to date to the present. The list must have the current oldest man at the bottom to be up to date. Period. If you can fix it, do so, and more power to you, rather than complaining about my best attempts. WordwizardW (talk) 21:30, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

October 2022
Hello, I'm EchidnaLives. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Public hearings of the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, 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. echidnaLives (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2022 (UTC)


 * What change are you referring to? WordwizardW (talk) 00:17, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
