Peter Thiel

All due respect, you could be more courteous in your edit summaries. Prezbo (talk) 03:19, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

James Gordon Meek

I'm surprised an experienced editor like you backs up an IP vandal by deleting the content that makes him notable. Find better sources? Go for it, but don't remove what all RS say about him. I'm off to bed. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 03:57, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

@Valjean:. None of the sources are reliable. Rolling Stone culture issues and Raw Story are both red at WP:RSPS. Sleep well. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:01, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Toy Reid

I just created a draft for Draft:Toy Reid. He is central to a major news story that has just come out. I assume there will be more about him as the days go on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 06:39, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Re: BLP noticeboard

We clearly can't risk portraying Democrats in a bad light. This is Wikipedia! We must maintain a unified narrative that always frames the actions of the left as morally superior to those on the right.

I know you were joking in your own way, but your POV interests me in several different ways. I’ve spent the last seven years discussing these and other ideas with conservatives off wiki to try and understand them. I admit, I haven’t made much progress. If you would like to continue this discussion either here or on my talk page, feel free. I’m particularly interested in your conception of moral superiority, which I feel you are projecting on to others. Viriditas (talk) 08:30, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Hillpost

Thanks for your detailed comment at this discussion. The vast majority of editors who encourage a "merge" in AFDs don't offer any detail on what or how much should be merged in. When people take the time to enter their thoughts in some detail, it makes a quality merge much easier. Joyous! | Talk 04:43, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Redirects

Hi, I just noticed your edit to Nicholas Gurewitch. Did you know it is now possible to add sitelinks to redirects without first breaking the redirect? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:15, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

HB Brown

It is not trivia. It very directly reflects on his reputation. Knockanar (talk) 20:53, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

@Knockanar: Welcome to Wikipedia. "Perhaps the public nadir of Brown's legacy.... "? Did you write this? It sounds incredibly like the personal musings of a Wikipedian (i.e. original research), and in any case appears plucked out of a primary transcript, suggesting it's given undue weight. We don't include facts merely because they are true or interesting or useful, per WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:PROPORTION. We summarize what secondary sources have published giving aspects proportional coverage to their prominence in the published literature. And we don't editorialize facts with words like "Perhaps" or "interestingly, or "it should be noted". Other problems with he article include the "Absence of memorials" section: "there are no known statues, named schools or buildings or institutions, or any other memorials to Brown. There has been no book-length biography published about him." This uncited statement may be true, but unless scholars have commented on it, it is WP:OR. --Animalparty!

OK thanks for your explanation; your reasoning makes sense. Thanks for catching it. Best regards, Knockanar (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
