 * Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and articles on venues should not list arbitrary artists who happened to perform there. It would seem reasonable that if a performance led to a live recording or was deemed notable due to some other factor, including it makes sense.

Sarah McBride
Sorry, I meant to say MOS:GENDERID - which says that avoiding gendered language is against Wikipedia policy. Could you please look at that and then judge the edits to Sarah McBride? 92.10.13.209 (talk) 02:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That is a style guidelines, and also not an official policy. Nevertheless, where does it suggest that "avoiding gendered language is against Wikipedia policy"? -- Zim Zala Bim talk 02:57, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * For example, look at the infobox for Caitlyn Jenner when you try editing her article. This is standard procedure for articles about trans people. 92.10.13.209 (talk) 03:01, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know precisely what you want me to look at on that page, but the practice per MOS:GENDERID is to be sure to use the person's latest expressed gender throughout an article, even when discussing their past when a different gender might have been expressed (or in a source). That's not the question here. Regardless, this conversation needs to be at the article in question. I've posted there. -- Zim Zala Bim talk 03:06, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

The deletion log says you deleted this in 2006, with the unpromising rationale of 'db-nocontent'. I'm planning on recreating this article: before I do, I'd just like to check that there is, in fact, nothing useful in the deleted content. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 19:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Infobox improvements for CZ Biohub
Hi there, I recently tagged you in an edit request on the CZ Biohub Talk page. I'm hoping to improve the organization's infobox by adding a logo and a "Purpose" line to it. Following up with you to see if you had any interest in reviewing that request. Here's a link to my initial post.

Full disclosure: I work for a communications firm that has been contracted by CZ Biohub, so I have to rely on independent editors to judge the quality of my suggested edits. Any help you can provide with this one would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Patricia at GMMB (talk) 14:28, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Removed sources
Hey, firstly, thanks for being dedicated to cleaning up Wikipedia.

I was adding what I thought was valuable information and references to a few psychological biases this morning, linking to non-for-profit research company. Importantly, nothing similar was visible in the articles that I posted content on.

i.e., I added context about Threads' growth that didn't exist, but is historic and accurate.

What did I do wrong here? I thought I added fair resources, cited properly, without breaking any rules. 5.154.184.232 (talk) 12:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

 * I really didn't think they were inappropriate, as they add genuine context. There are no ads or paywalls on these resources, and the links were all different, to different articles about psychology.
 * Are any of them allowed to stay up? I was trying to be helpful. 5.154.184.232 (talk) 14:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest starting a discussion on the relevant article's talk pages to see if there is condenses as to whether the links are helpful.

Encyclopedic value
"Ok, sure, but dating someone isn't inherently of encyclopedic value. With all due respect, I am genuinely confused. If that reason to undo my edit is accurate, then you should inform all the other editors on this encyclopedia who have added information regarding that specific detail in an individual's personal life on their Wikipedia article. However, this is a genuine concern, not a threat of any kind. If you decide to do that, you might accidentally get into an edit war. There are countless Wikipedia articles about entertainers that contain that specific information, so I still do not understand the reason you provided. Bibliophile Dragon (talk) 17:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In my view, someone's dating life doesn't rise to the level of belonging in a biography (short of something notable coming from such activity).

About Keep reverting changes on Temu and PDD
How is adding company's English logo to an international company who operates globally unneccessary as you said by reverting changes, along with some other similar edits? I can see you edited a lot of tech companies in history, you should probably know that. Currently, these two companies, operating globally, only has little and mostly negative information due to continue vandalization from politicians, haters, and competitors; while if you go to Google's Wike page, it's all long and nice and details and images, it is pretty obvious that people are attacking these pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnieYW (talk • contribs) 00:21, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of arXiv reference
Hello, I noticed that you deleted an edit I made on the Kate Crawford page. Note that Wikipedia does allow arXiv as a source and even has a template for the purpose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Cite_arXiv. While arXiv is not peer-reviewed, it is moderated. If you wish to remove all sources from the Wikipedia that are not peer-reviewed I think you will have a rather time consuming task. Good luck with that.

I recommend going through the references on that page and asking yourself which of them are peer-reviewed sources. Many are not even moderated.

I have added one peer-reviewed source and an article written by a technology journalist to support the statement. 2A00:23C8:6784:4701:684A:1A3F:7D0A:B5DD (talk) 22:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:ARXIV. Yes, sometimes published, peer-reviewed articles are also on arxiv and thus there is a means to cite that archive. But this essay doesn't fit that case. -- Zim <b style="color:darkgreen">Zala</b> Bim <sup style="color:black">talk 22:37, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Fewer than 50% of the references in that Wikipedia article are peer-reviewed.
 * It reads like a combination resume and fan club website. 2A00:23C8:6784:4701:684A:1A3F:7D0A:B5DD (talk) 01:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Arguments centered on WP:OTHERCONTENT aren't convincing.

 * The statement is sufficiently supported by reference 45, which is a definitive source on good practices for AI in art, a topic of important to the section itself.

 * Likewise you have not understood the purpose of this edit. You keep describing the primary source as a critique. It is not an art critique. It is criticism that the exhibition used images without obtaining permission or the informed consent of the persons depicted in those images.It is a simple fact that one of the official parties responsible for managing image permissions criticised Crawford for unauthorised and unethical use of images in a public exhibition.The Disena review reports that fact and acknowledges its importance. This is a sufficient source for the point being made. 2A00:23C8:6784:4701:3987:14E0:327E:14AC (talk) 15:13, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

A few days ago you made this revision at Knicks–Nuggets brawl, with the edit reason since this didn't happen, why is it even being mentioned? Well, the answer is simple: since the event in question didn't happen, the situation didn't escalate to the levels of the Malice at the Palace, and the lack of escalation was the point the original writer of the sentence wanted to make when they (whoever they were) wrote said sentence. 100.7.34.111 (talk) 05:02, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Armed Forces of Ukraine
Hello ZimZalaBim You changed my edit of the term "Russian Aggression" into "pro-russian turmoils". I have read your "philosophy" here and think your change is not according to it. In delicate topics as ongoing conflicts, its even more important to use a value-free, neutral language, above all in a dictionary. The term "russian aggression" expresses the perception of one side of the conflict and is not even used in well-searched conflicts of the past. In political science, there are only a few articles what even use those terms (" Language of Political Aggression" by David Matsumoto, 2013) and are in another context. The text itself goes further to the blame of pro-russian separatists and the month may 2014 is coined by the Odesa clashes, independent scientific based historical research of the events, the involvement of foreign powers, have to be done in the upcoming decades. When it comes to the invasion in 2022, the use of the term "russian aggression" can be argueably used (should be avoided as outlined), but clearly not in 2014. I think this is not how Wiki should handle it and hope you understand my change better now.

Belarus
By writing people's names in Russian in articles about Belarus, you are acting as if there is no such language as Belarusian.

We do not have to write in Russian just because government officials introduce themselves with Russian names, not Belarusian. For example, the fact that Łukašenka calls himself Lukashenko does not change that he is Belarusian and therefore his name is Łukašenka.

If we write "Aleksandr Lukashenko" instead of "Aliaksandar Łukašenka", should we write "Vladimir Zelensky" instead of "Volodymyr Zelenskyy"?? 81.215.233.216 (talk) 16:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Response to sneezing
Hope you're having a good day. You edited Response to sneezing recently with the comment " trying to remove aggregious unsourced commentary/original research". One part of that was the Icelandic one. Where I did leave a source, the Visindavefur citation which is an article by Professor Guðrún Kvaran at the Institute for Icelandic Studies. In that article, it starts with "Fyrr á tímum" or "In earlier times" which applies to the entire act of using "Guð hjálpi þér" and then especially the 2 other following sentences.

I'm just wondering how I could have cited that better or set up the sentences better so they would not have been changed by you and called "aggregious" and "unsourced".

The Influential Books Game, Ross Douthat
You reverted my edit to Douthat's page, where I added a list of books he says influenced him ("The Influential Books Game", Ross Douthaut, New York Times.) You called my edit "irrelevant here." I disagree; what could be more relevant to the life of a writer than the books which influenced them? I think it's a valuable edit.

No interest in starting an edit war; I just think it's very much worth noting the works someone cited as formative, especially for a writer who often writes about literature, as Douthat does. I welcome your thoughts on the matter. Charlie Faust (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
