Hello again P199. Is this presentation by ADAGP (Société des Auteurs Dans Les Arts Graphiques et Plastiques) a reliable source, to be used in ADAGP's criticism of FoP and Wikipedia. I'm thinking of adding it to either a section at Freedom of panorama or at Criticism of Wikipedia, but I'm not sure which article is the best choice for this new section. Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 22:59, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @

WP:PRIMARYSOURCE. Thus, the discussion on FOP is naturally written to favor their position. But that doesn't mean that you cannot use it selectively, see the link. Regards, -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply

Article vs. redirect isn't a question of the amount of information present — it's a question of the amount of referencing that is or isn't present to support said information. Bearcat (talk) 14:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bearcat: Patience please... -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not incumbent on me to be the patient one. You used the revert button, which gave me a big red notification that you were slapping me in the face for doing a bad thing — if you want to improve the article to a state where it can stand alone again, you're certainly free to do that, but using the revert function in advance of actually adding any references is not the appropriate way to go about that. Reverting is only for "this was the wrong thing to do, bad Bearcat, smack smack go to your room and think about what you did!", and not for "this was the right thing to do at the time but I'm going to fix the problem later on". Bearcat (talk) 14:32, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you are taking this far too personal! Relax! No one is accusing you of anything. I wanted to write an article about Nakina, and saw in the redirect history that there was a previous article. Instead of writing from scratch, I want to base the article on the previous work (thereby giving credit to all previous contributors). So yes, the way to do that is by clicking "restore this version", and then work on the improvements. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
