No suggestions but I'm sure you'll get a good one.

I knew Scott Adams was a right winger in real life, but really liked the strip focused on the universal ironies of bureaucracies. I get a Sunday-only USA Today paper for state and local news but also for access to the chain's nationwide publications. I read just the Dilbert and Doonesbury strips. They've canceled so that means I'm down to one.

All the best.

Secondly, my apologies for the back and forth when it comes to editing that portion of the article, and my apologies if any of my comments came across as rude. That is definitely not my intention and I merely want to organize the article and keep it unbiased. Talk of the critism of the character is valid and definitely noteworthy, but I do find putting it in the Lead Section using the wording you used was a bit inaccurate and unnecessary. Hopefully we can come to an understanding/compromise on how to edit the article! Again my apologies if any stress or upset was caused by this issue, hope you have a wonderful day!

I made an edit on a TV show that has ceased production. Do I need to cite this? AussieDamo (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

reliable sources. If you check those blue links, you can learn a lot more about the Wikipedia policies. Also, if you provide me a link to the article in question, I can provide a more specific response. – notwally (talk) 17:48, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

• You changed it from "{{plainlist|" to "{{Plainlist|", this is pointless and does not cause any formatting errors, but sure.
• While doing this change, you unnecessarily reverted "June 6, 2022" to "2022-06-10", this can cause errors because in some cases YEAR-MONTH-DAY does not work as intended, so the former is actually preferred since the end result is exactly the same.
• You also removed this sourced info for some reason: "Some publications stated that Hereditary has gained a cult following since its release and considered it to be one of the best horror films of the 2010s." If you do not agree with the sources or the text, you should try to change them or discuss before removing them completely, without a valid reason (as this is not even a formatting/style issue).

I don't know what you mean by "years later", but I appreciate your explanation of the edits. – notwally (talk) 22:13, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nemov. This is a courtesy notification - I have no stake in the SPI case. Staraction (talk | contribs) 03:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speaking of sock puppets I assume this user[2] is the the sock of the IP. The editor has attempted to make the same type of edits on that article in April. Nemov (talk) 03:20, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nemov, I get the impression that the IP editor is a long-term editor who has made contentious POV edits in the past, given their knowledge of numerous policies. They may even have had an account in the past that was banned, considering how much they talk about their user talk page for a dynamic, frequently changing IP. However, based on their editing and commenting style, I do not get the impression that they are the same person as the other editor. The citations being the same appears more like lazy work by the logged-in account editor copying the IP editor's citations than probative evidence of sockpuppetry. This tracks with the substanceless sentence they added to the article [3]. I think you may want to withdraw your SPI until you have more evidence. – notwally (talk) 03:40, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    You could be right about the lazy editing but the edit summaries are very similar. Maybe there's an off wiki coordination going on that explains two users suddenly showing up. Nemov (talk) 12:04, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Ah, I didn't see that the IP user had pinged the other editor. I missed that during all the wall of text responses being generated so quickly. Nemov (talk) 14:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this edit [4] because the sources seem to check out. The aim is to cover topics such as the ongoing battle for democracy...[5] He decided to launch a more serious site in December last year while covering Occupy demonstrations in the area.[6] Just letting you know that I'm open to discussion. CurryCity (talk) 11:34, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The content you added is not what the sources actually say, though. Phrases such as "such as" and "as well as reporting on breaking news" cannot be ignored without distorting the meaning. As for the second source, you even say that it "suggests a connection without directly saying it", which would be

WP:OR. Yes, the paper was founded after the 2014 protests, and in many ways in response to the increasing censorship that was seen in response to the protests. That is definitely important to its history. But that is not the same as being founded with one of its primary aims to cover the pro-democracy movement, which is how the language you restored to the lead portrays it. What I find in reviewing the sources are numerous references to its desire to be an independent alternative to the SCMP, with many sources now describing it as the last remaining independent alternative new outlet, e.g., [7]. I moved mention of the pro-democracy movement that you had restored to the lead into the body under "history" since it does seem relevant there. Here is my edit. If you would like to discuss this further, I would request that this discussion be copied over the to article's talk page to continue there in case other editors may be interested in it. – notwally (talk) 23:57, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply

I restored it because the wording was close enough to the sources and had been there for years. Didn't know you feel so strongly about it. CurryCity (talk) 12:46, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone who has a COI is asking for other editors to review an issue in an article, then I think it is important that we take those requests seriously. I don't agree that the wording was close to the sources. – notwally (talk) 04:37, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please be careful about what you say to people. Some remarks can easily be misinterpreted, or viewed as harassment. Wikipedia is a supportive environment, where contributors should feel comfortable and safe while editing. Thank you. It is you is misrepresenting me, and you who appears to be stalking my comments with an attitude to harass me. DO NOT interact. Kingsif (talk) 14:39, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, I noticed that you deleted the edit on Erin Torpey's page. I checked her IMDB page and there are no more acting credits after 2015. By that logic, if an actor's filmography ends at a certain year, doesn't that mean they are retired? 92.30.208.30 (talk) 15:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
