Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Survivor: San Juan del Sur, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Adam Klein. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Bagumba. 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 Los Angeles Lakers 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. Thank you. —Bagumba (talk) 04:00, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note that I reverted your edit on

Hello, I'm Le Marteau. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jimmy Dore, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Le Marteau (talk) 06:31, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Froskurinn. Thank you. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 05:18, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Ss112. I noticed that you made one or more edits to an article, What My World Spins Around, concerning the updates of review statistics, box office numbers, sports statistics, or some other frequently updated data with a fixed web address, but you did not update the |access-date= parameter in the citation template. The |access-date= parameter is the full date when the content pointed to by the URL was last verified to be working and supporting the text being cited in the article. This means that the parameter needs to be updated whenever the content is updated. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, regarding the Fictional scientists category on the Spider-Man article, I removed the category because the subcategory Category:Marvel Comics scientists is already present, and it is always preferable to use subcategories for a topic as opposed to broader main categories. Therefore, I felt it was necessary to remove Category:Fictional scientists from the article.The Editor 155 (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add that section? Are you referencing an edit I made? Shamus248 (talk) 16:31, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can see from the page history that you reinserted Category:Fictional scientists to the Spider-Man article after I removed it yesterday, so I explained my rationale for removing it in the first place.The Editor 155 (talk) 18:26, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I reverted a previous edit of mine that another user had previously undone, which I guess reinserted the fictional scientists category from a prior edit I didn't do myself. Shamus248 (talk) 06:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I will now remove the Fictional scientists category from the page.

Ummm.....what did i do? Shamus248 (talk) 04:13, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I've noticed that you kept removing my change to the main photo for the NSYNC article. I've only been changing it because I thought an actual group photo would look better than a collage of the members. I know what I missed the first time and I thought I corrected it with adding the photo author and license, but I guess I missed something. If you could tell me what I missed, I would be willing to fix my mistake and properly replace the photo. Hulkeroni (talk) 11:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you can replace the photo, I strongly encourage you to do so. Whenever a collage of the members or the pic of them at the 2013 VMAs gets removed from the info box, I try to undo those edits. The "Image Removal Bot" deleted the 2013 VMA pic so I can't undo that. My edits had nothing to do with your specific edits, I sadly can't control what users or bots delete pics, nor do I know what compels them to do so. I think it's silly that a page of an artist that notable can't have a pic in their infobox without it being a problem. Again, my edits had nothing to do with yours, just merely trying to undo edits by other users/bots that I thought should be undone. Thanks for your time. Shamus248 (talk) 05:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I completely understand then. I just assumed it was you because it was under your name when I checked the history, so I thought it was you the whole time. I actually never heard of the Image Removal Bot until you brought it up, so thanks for informing me about that. And looking back, it makes sense that it was a bot this whole time. The only problem now is trying to figure out how to replace it with ensuring that the bot won't act up. If you have any ideas, let me know so I could try to implement them. Thanks again. Hulkeroni (talk) 01:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I wish I had some ideas. The collage of the 5 members is up for now. Hopefully you or someone can upload a group photo without it being a problem. Shamus248 (talk) 19:53, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sorry, but I've had to remove a lot of content you've added to

Again, sorry. If I had noticed sooner I would've said something sooner and saved you a lot of work. Grayfell (talk) 06:16, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Admittedly, I am no fan of the subject in question, though my various edits were with the intention to catalog what I believe to be pertinent information. With that being said, is it possible for some of the content to be restored, specifically the court documents and the content therein? I believe it to be very pertinent to the subject. It probably looked like I had labored to put all of that on there, but I honestly didn't mind. Again, it was with the purpose of cataloging things that could get deleted w/o being archived, etc. Let me know if anything can be restored. Thanks for your time. Shamus248 (talk) 06:22, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I sympathize. Citing court documents often leads to disputes in situations like these. From past experience, my understanding is that the legal action or lawsuit first needs to be supported by an independent source. For any detail not in a a reliable, independent source, there needs to be a clear reason to dip into court documents. Unambiguously important details which the independent source left out for some reason can be added with a court document, for example. I don't really see that here, but I could easily be missing something. The specific details of the accusations will probably need an IS which will also hopefully provide some context. I would accept that a verdict would be slightly easier to summarize than a plaintiff's accusations, but it would still be much, much better to use an independent source even then.

Additionally, Rolling Stone's reputation as a reliable sources is complicated per

WP:ROLLINGSTONEPOLITICS

, so using that as the IS starts off on shaky ground.

Some of these incidents are recent enough that reliable sources could be in the works, but that' just a guess. Grayfell (talk) 06:42, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at my most recent (and what will be my last for a while if not for good) edit and tell me if that looks okay. I avoided court docs or anything of that sort, and kept it succinct, but again put in what I believed to be important info. Sorry for any trouble. I know I probably looked like a frothing NPC with too much time on his hands. Again, I won't pretend I'm impartial when it comes to Onision, and to be honest I was motivated by a view (in my estimation at least) that his Wikipedia page was generally too sanitized in relation to the allegations made against him, and wanted to catalog them in more explicit detail.

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
