Hi @

WP:COI

, and I wanted to note for the record:

• My internship with the CoH is unpaid
• I'm not editing about CoH, I'm editing about Homelessness. I would hope that being involved in the field wouldn't disallow someone to edit Wikipedia, as most subject matter experts would be involved in the field.

Thanks again,

I didn't mean that as in any way a warning or chastisement: Just a heads up about a potential risk. Pathawi (talk) 20:51, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@

Your long-standing pattern of behaviour in interactions with users you even think have relationships with homeless organisations certainly falls under

WP:DELETEOTHER on absolutely bollocks grounds. Glass houses, friend. Pathawi (talk) 13:11, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply

Actually I address promotionalism issues on different groups/companies. Notable example was Anti-Defamation League. When I see such a pattern, I certainly look at the user's page. This page was on my watch list as I've worked on it before and new changes occur, and I go back and review. Graywalls (talk) 14:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Graywalls. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Homelessness seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I understand from participation with another user that your internship with Coalition of Homelessness is unpaid. I also understand that WRAP is closely associated with the corporation that you intern for. The introduction of contents referencing is a COI concern. This specifically Anderson, M., Boden, P., Callahan-Kapoor, M., Dahmann, N., Dennison, B., Friedenback, J., ... & Winterborn, B. (2010). Without Housing: Decades of Federal Housing Cutbacks, Massive Homelessness, and Policy Failures. https://wraphome.org//wp-content/uploads/2008/09/WRAPWithoutHousingfederalcutbacks2007report.pdf'' Graywalls (talk) 07:09, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Graywalls, thank you for your note. I don't consider myself affiliated with WRAP, however I appreciate that their reports are self published, and maybe not the best thing to cite. I think the point that I was trying to make is important for historical context, so I've added it back in, this time citing the actual government budget instead of the WRAP report. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Homelessness&type=revision&diff=1055273217&oldid=1055093720 Ruthgrace (talk) 22:49, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ruthgrace! Your additions to

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double
  inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners
  , for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images.
  non-free content criteria
  in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 15:52, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Diannaa for letting me know! I wasn't aware of this and will try the edit again without quoting. Ruthgrace (talk) 16:18, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas to you too, WILDSTAR! I am actually spending my Christmas in Ontario with family, which is why I felt it so fitting to read about Cornwall Electric. :) Appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, and hope you get some time to relax with loved ones this holiday season. Ruthgrace (talk) 04:07, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ruthgrace, I wanted to let you know (no pun intended) that Cornwall Electric is scheduled to appear in the Did You Know section of Wikipedia's Main Page on January 5th at 12:00 UTC. The hook for Did You Know... that during the January 1998 North American ice storm, an employee at Cornwall Electric used a bow and arrow to provide power to a city? was inspired by the closing comments you made during the article's GAR... about the employee saving the day with his bow and arrow. It's actually incredible and hard to believe that 24 years have already come to pass since that event!

P.S. Knowing that the lights probably stayed on, I hope your time in Ontario with your family during the holidays was relaxing and very enjoyable! :-) All the best! — WILDSTAR^TALK 14:50, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's fantastic!! Congratulations! Actually the power did go out due to high winds during my trip, but it was only for a few hours -- very impressive considering the number of trees that fell down. We got to take out the candles, and the kids had a blast. We aren't with Cornwall Electric, unfortunately, but it did remind me of your article, and how infrastructure workers are so important!

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article

criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Mujinga -- Mujinga (talk) 17:41, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply

The article Effective altruism you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Effective altruism for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

Sorry to quickfail but I think the article needs a lot of work, which would definitely be putting since it's a great topic. Best of luck with it in future. Mujinga (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On 29 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Supply-side progressivism, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.
