Ray Boyle died

I saw an obituary indicating that he passed away on January 11. So I edited his page but haven’t sourced it yet. How do I do that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.228.199 (talk) 21:14, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The most complete how to guide is at WP:REFB, I would suggest watching the video to learn. If you have any questions or need help with this, please don't hesitate to ask me. Cheers! Sea Cow (talk) 22:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

First Monday in October

If you are referring to the 'apocryphal' quote "critics = crickets", it has now 'entered the mainstream' to the extent that it doesn't really need direct 'attribution'. I think it was first used by Peter Cook (I may be wrong), but I have found references to it by (amongst others) Mel Brooks and David Mamet.

If, however, you wish to know whose 'ideas' those were, they were mine, having just seen the film.

What now, Sea Cow ? ! 188.30.169.98 (talk) 05:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please read Wikipedia:No original research, your original "ideas" that you constructed are not allowed on the English Wikipedia. They must come from a reliable source. Cheers! Sea Cow (talk) 05:24, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Re: Reverted Edits to Columbia, Louisiana

Hello, Sea Cow. I noticed that you reverted my edits on the grounds that I didn't provide sources or citations. While you're correct that I didn't provide sources or citations, the information I had written is both more accurate and more informative than the previous revision which you reverted the page back to. I wrote that information as a native and lifelong resident of Caldwell Parish. That information is common knowledge to local residents, is easily verifiable by a quick Google search, and is information that likely doesn't need sources or citations, but I will include citations when I re-add that information to the page. Please refrain from reverting edits based solely on the lack of citations.24.48.169.112 (talk) 05:51, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please read Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:No original research. Those two outline that you must have reliable sources in your article, that prove the given topic. You cannot have original research, such as the info you have gathered by being a "lifelong" resident. I see that you have added back your edit, with sources. In that regard, any issues should be solved. Cheers! Sea Cow (talk) 12:57, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit change

Thanks.

Matthau is always 'reliable' (even when 'riled' by Jack Lemmon ! ), and the 'romance' with Clayburgh is well handled (given the 'constraints' of 'life pre-empting art' - Reagan appointing a female Justice necessitating the rushed release). I didn't want the film to end (a bit like 'a good book'); perhaps a bit 'late' (as are both Matthau and Clayburgh - groan.. [I mean they're dead]) for a 'sequel', but "you never know". Perhaps I'll make one some time ! 188.30.169.98 (talk) 05:52, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You made a mistake

You made a mistake on my edits on Imran Khan. I backed up my claims with authentic sources. Please go ahead and show me one source that was incorrect, i'll wait. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittensarereallycute (talk • contribs) 05:19, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I reverted it because you said in one of your edit summaries, "indian sources were cited, which obviously means the allegations are void". I see no consensus on the talk page that this is the case, if there has been consensus to establish this, please point me in the direction and I will have no issue with your edit. Cheers! Sea Cow (talk) 05:23, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You didn't have to revert the whole thing you could've just reverted that one part manually. Everything else was backed by authentic sources like "one of the greatest all rounders in cricket".. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittensarereallycute (talk • contribs) 05:28, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the reversion back to the version prior to the issue I had with it. Sea Cow (talk) 05:31, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

German equivalents for US grades

en.Wikipedia had already the information that eighth grade is equivalent to "8. Klasse". Germany has 16 different school systems - for each state a different one - but how we count the classes (beginning by one and adding one for each year) is the same in all 16 states. Sorry for trying to get the mess in these pages smaller - every grade has a different list of Countries with / without equivalents to the actual grade. I will certainly not try to better en.wikipedia again.Andreas von Stackelberg (talk) 04:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The fundamental issue with all of your edits is that you didn't add a source, in all of these articles, other portions have a source, for each country. Just provide it, but please don't leave the En wikipedia, just add sources next time. Sea Cow (talk) 04:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As I said before: The pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_grade#Europe , and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_grade#Germany have all the information needed. If eigth grade equals "Achte Klasse" and ninth grade equals "Neunte Klasse" then it is clear to anybody (obviously but you), that 1=1, 2=2, 3=3, 4=4, 5=5, 6=6, 7=7, 10=10, 11=11 in any language. If you need a proof from a book that seven minus one is six - then this is a lost case. You can certainly insist on stupidity - and obviously this is your right to do so. But my time is too short for this kind of obvious nonsense. There would be one chance to keep me collaborating in english Wikipedia - and that would be to accept that you were wrong in the first place and did not act according to basic logic - and add the information you erased yourself again. I am sure this will not happen - so: bye!Andreas von Stackelberg (talk) 23:18, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is that you didn't provide a source that says that. There's nothing that you provided that says that that is the case. The warning at the top of the article says "This article needs additional citations for verification". By adding something without a source, you don't help the article. Just add a source that nationally says that 9th grade is 9. Klasse. There should be some national education office that lists the grades. Sea Cow (talk) 23:42, 2 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nederland Independant School district

I'm a little confused on how the citations work, I'd like to have this information added (and I tried doing it again by my citation didn't work). Let me know what I need to do to make it happen!
