Vandalism on Corey Graves article

It's that same person who vandalized the page 14 months ago, and you issued a final warning to this person, so I thought I'd let you know he did it yet again.--Hmdwgf (talk) 08:05, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit?

I noticed you reverted my edit on this article, Disease, but why did you revert it? 2603:8000:F400:FCEA:8C0A:C582:420A:E119 (talk) 16:13, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Because the article Disease has not been reviewed under the Good Article nomination process, and therefore your edit was inappropriate and the {{good article}} template is not appropriate to place on that article. General Ization Talk 00:00, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Re: February 2022

I'm sorry, I thought I cited the source but then realized I didn't. I was just about to go back and add the source when I received your message. :P ARoyalPrincess (talk) 01:49, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Answer

Tell me, what source did Seabass715 use to make the change? There is no source. But you only relate to me because I did not present the source. Why? Isn't that discrimination? In addition, from government sources, I only took information about the composition of the government, not the propaganda I know how to avoid. There is no more reliable source for the composition of government. I can cite other sources https://rulers.org/ and https://www.worldstatesmen.org/ that I have checked for a long time and in terms of archontology they are impeccable but I don't know who from Wikipedia he decreed that he was not trustworthy for some reason, which I only suspect. However, there should be more flexibility and each case analyzed separately and not from a rigid position, a source decreed that it is not reliable to remain so regardless of the circumstances. However, from what I have seen in your contributions, archontology is not a concern, so you should refrain from intervening in a field that you do not know. and generally have constructive, not destructive contributions and apply the same criteria to everyone. Don't be afraid, I'm totally against Putin and his war against Ukraine, as well as against the secessionists in Donetsk and Lugansk, but objective information takes precedence over sympathy and dislike. on the other hand you must know with threats you don't solve anything and I'm not afraid of such a thing. If threats, obtuseness, discrimination and stubbornness are the only arguments, I have clarified your status as a contributor to Wikipedia. Bogdan Uleia (talk) 05:22, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

@Bogdan Uleia: It has nothing to do with "archontology", the quality or accuracy of the content you are replacing, or the Russo-Ukraine war. The Wikipedia policies I linked in the message I left on your Talk page are not negotiable. Read them, please. Your edits require cited sources, inline with the content, not in your edit summary. You did not do so. If you fail to cite your sources, the content you add can and should be removed, and if you repeatedly add content without citations, you will be blocked from editing. It's that simple. General Ization Talk 12:15, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
@Bogdan Uleia: Also, since you seem to be have the notion that I am treating you unfairly because of some prejudice against you or your subject matter, read Assume good faith. General Ization Talk 12:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
This is my final answer. That's it, be happy! You won. I give up fighting with the windmills, because the wisest gives up first. In Romanian we have a little poetry Easily you convince a dunderhead//Even easier on a wise man//Neither you heavenly father nor all the gods in heaven//Can't convince a half-learned.// If the formal issues regarding the source take precedence over the accuracy of the information, I am completely clear. However, you confirm what I have already said, you continue to discriminate against me and harass me. And you also confirm the assessments I made about your character. You already won, forget me and stop watching all my posts. I already forgot about you, you're just an insignificant incident in my Wikioedia contributor activity.Bogdan Uleia (talk) 22:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
@Bogdan Uleia: I assure you that I will be watching your edits (not "posts", as posts are not what we do here) for some time to come, not because I am interested in a fight (I am not, and Wikipedia is not a battleground), but because it is clear that you still do not understand, and apparently do not care to try to understand, our policies. General Ization Talk 23:45, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Boy, I'm starving. You became obsessed with me. It's already psychiatric. Try a check-up at a specialist, you may have a chance to heal. Good thing you don't know my personal data because I should call the police for protection. Do you really want to remove me from Wikipedia? I don't lose anything by that anyway. Will only the accuracy of the information suffer? When do you change my contributions, do you at least check if they are correct or not? I don't think so because the field of archontology is beyond you. You are just an obsessed person who has nothing else to do but follow me in particular, because there are so many people who give no source anywhere but leave them alone. For you, it is not the substance that matters, but the form. another symptom of psychiatric illness. It seems that it is not a matter of character but of a more serious one. Don't bother answering me. I was wrong when I got into a conversation with a mentally ill person. Although I'm not religious, I make a cross and say "God forbid!"Bogdan Uleia (talk) 20:44, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Standard Time

How is it unsourced — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blue Wave Studios (talk • contribs) 19:37, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

@Blue Wave Studios: Because you did not cite any source, much less a reliable source. See your Talk page for more information. General Ization Talk 20:17, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
@Blue Wave Studios: Also, your edit is factually incorrect. A bill that passed in the U.S. Senate has not been passed by "Congress", and the bill would not mean that "Americans would no longer need to change their clocks in favor of (DST) Daylight Savings Time", if by that you mean that unadjusted Standard Time would remain in effect year-round. The bill would make the time scheme otherwise known as Daylight Saving Time effective year-round. Your wording of this is ambiguous, if not completely wrong. General Ization Talk 20:23, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Reversion on Talk:COVID-19 pandemic

Your recent revert doesn't make sense. You wrote "unexplained supression of a reference in the explanation of consensus". My edit neither suppressed a reference, nor was it used in the explanation of consensus as far as I am aware. Could you explain why you reverted? Pabsoluterince (talk) 00:26, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

@Pabsoluterince: Your edit added HTML comment directives around a reference for the explanation of consensus (linked to three of the elements described in that consensus). Your edit summary was "Not dead yet," which did not explain your reasoning for the edit (hence it was unexplained). The net effect of your edit was to suppress the appearance of those references in three locations in the reflist associated with those items in the explanation of concensus, and to replace them with an empty "^". Thus: you performed the unexplained suppression of a reference in the explanation of consensus. Not sure how I could have been any clearer in my edit summary, and I still don't understand the purpose of your edit. General Ization Talk 00:34, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
OK, maybe not. Hang on a moment. In the meantime, can you explain what you were intending to do? General Ization Talk 00:38, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
So, I misunderstood the location of your edit (in the {{press}} template), and its effect. However, I'm still unclear why you were suppressing (preventing the display of) that item (the New Republic article) in the {{press}} template of the Talk page header. Care to explain? General Ization Talk 00:43, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
The reason I did it is because the first link to the article is to the archived version of the page when the link to the original article isn't dead yet. I did not suppressed the item. The article was still there after my edit. Pabsoluterince (talk) 00:47, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
So it is, and was. My apologies. I've restored your edit. General Ization Talk 00:50, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
No worries . Thank you. Pabsoluterince (talk) 00:52, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Internet Archive Scholar vs. JSTOR

Hello, I see on your user page that you use JSTOR and I'd like to know more about your experience. By my calculations, a good 70 % of the main JSTOR content is now available for everyone at Internet Archive Scholar, with full text search provided e.g. at https://scholar.archive.org/ . The service is still in beta, but I've used it for some source-finding and it seems quite usable to me; I wonder whether that's just my experience. If you have a chance, the next time you'd be looking for a source on Google Scholar or JSTOR or similar, to perform the same search on IA scholar instead, I'd be curious to hear how it ends up. Thanks, Nemo 19:06, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

English literature

Regarding your reversion here [2], the page on English studies begins by saying it is usually simply called English”. I don’t oppose your revision as I agree “English literature” is more specific, however by the article’s own admission, it is common to call it “English”. dizzyflamingo (talk) 04:03, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dizzyflamingo: A little unclear why what English studies says is significant, since the source makes clear that English literature was Thomas's major. General Ization Talk 04:06, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Are those not the same thing? English studies is the study of English literature dizzyflamingo (talk) 04:27, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
@Dizzyflamingo: English studies include: the study of literature (especially novels, plays, short stories, and poetry), the majority of which comes from Britain, the United States, and Ireland (although English-language literature from any country may be studied, and local or national literature is usually emphasized in any given country); English composition, including writing essays, short stories, and poetry; English language arts, including the study of grammar, usage, and style; and English sociolinguistics, including discourse analysis of written and spoken texts in the English language, the history of the English language, English language learning and teaching, and the study of World Englishes, as reported at English studies. In any case, when there is any doubt, we use the language our sources use, and our source says he majored in English literature; therefore, so shall we. General Ization Talk 04:30, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough, cheers dizzyflamingo (talk) 04:35, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Steve Wilhite

On 26 March 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Steve Wilhite, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:56, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi there....

It is reliable. It's on his Official IG. Without sounding like a *nickname for richard* please tell me how I should've done it. I'm still leaning how WiKi works and I want to do it right. -KK KillingKiddo (talk) 05:44, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@KillingKiddo: See WP:BURDEN. You must provide citations of reliable sources for any content that you add that is likely to be challenged, especially if it involves the biography of a living person. If you do not do so, the content you add can and should be removed, and if you persistently do so you can be blocked from editing. Merely saying "it's reliable" does not make it verifiable. Most of this is already stated (and the policies linked) in the message I left on your Talk page, and I note that this is not your first warning concerning this issue.
