Your thread has been archived

Hi Wes sideman! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, "fixed bare ref" ?, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to create a new thread.

The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} here on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Direct, reliable sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages now require direct reliable sources for additions. For details see the content guideline, the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide or the edit notice on any DOY page. Almost all new additions without references are now being reverted on-sight.

Please do not add new additions to these pages without direct sources as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Expecting others to provide them for you is considered tendentious.

Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 14:48, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It might have been nice of the guy that took out the name to have left me this message instead though. Wes sideman (talk) 14:51, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And also, it's not like I added something that wasn't factual. It was already on the dead guy's page that he died, and that had a source. That's way different than somebody just adding something random and demanding that someone else find a source, isn't it? Wes sideman (talk) 14:52, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No answer, I guess this is how Wikipedia works, make an accusation and then take off. Wes sideman (talk) 17:55, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020

Hello! I see that you have been edit warring at the article Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot. I am glad to see that you are now discussing your differences at the article talk page. Be careful not to edit war again, because you have already passed the WP:3RR limit. -- MelanieN (talk) 18:35, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Teahouse edit

I've recently reverted one of your edits on WP:Teahouse. It was an accident and I apologize. Best, Isabelle ^🔔 19:43, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited South African farm attacks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page South African. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:28, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

K2

Hello! I think that this sentence should be changed to be clear. My understanding of the first part of the sentence: In January 2021, K2 became the final eight-thousander to be summited in the winter is the same as the following sentence: K2 became the final eight-thousender, that will be summited this winter in January 2021. Is it correct? I agree with the second part of the sentence, that has been added by you. I would make it simple as it is repeated almost the same in the chapter Winter expeditions, 2021: The summiting group consisted entirely of indigenous climbers from Nepal. If you decide to leave the sentence as it is I think the letter "a" shoud be added in front of "group". Please let me know what you think about simplifying the entire sentence. Best regards Szelma W (talk) 21:53, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, I forgot the "a". Thanks for pointing that out.

The second part, when it was shorter, was a little unclear before, in that it could be taken to mean that "it was the final 8000er to be summited by a team of Nepalese climbers, in January 2021." I agree that my version is clunkier, and I would be open to changing it to something simpler - but the previous version was too simple, and just a little bit ambiguous.

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. This is regarding the Chad Johnson article that you reported at the Teahouse.-- P-K3 (talk) 19:34, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zeta Psi

I noted your edit comment that the content of Zeta Psi was "likely plagiarized." The reason the content appears similar between the Zeta Psi website and Wiki is that I authored much of the text appearing in the Zeta Psi website content, and I agreed with the Zeta Psi organization that my use of that text of Wikipedia for the betterment of knowledge could continue to appear on Wiki even as I continued to allow use of it to Zeta Psi. I could hardly be called to plagiarize my own words. I would be happy to discuss whether by reply here or on my own talk page. Best, Citizen Sunshine (talk) 04:11, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

well okay. But how would anyone know that in advance? Wes sideman (talk) 12:24, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I meant no blame, of course; I just wanted to confirm to you my revert was based on personal authorship rather than disagreement with your diligence on plagiarism reversions. I hope you agree we can let alone the Zeta Psi content henceforth. Citizen Sunshine (talk) 03:23, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tick tock Wesley. Times running FranklinNiz (talk) 17:04, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you are referring to. Wes sideman (talk) 17:05, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chad Johnson (television personality)

You seem to have an interest in American reality TV especially of the 'finding love'/'dating'/'hookup' variety. My interest is close to zero. I'm confident that Chad Johnson (television personality) is not notable for either his arrest or his pornographic career after it. I assumed since the article had existed since 2017 and seemed to have a fair level of coverage of the various reality shows he had been in, that Chad Johnson was notable for that career. If you're confident he's not, please let me know and I will send the article to AfD safe in the knowledge I'm not going to be yelled at because of some arcane (probably excessive) notability criteria for reality TV stars that I have zero interest in learning about.

Whoops sorry Nil Einne (talk), looks like we posted on each other's talk pages at the same time. Wes sideman (talk) 15:04, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
