This user is aware of the designation of the following topics as contentious topics: articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles They should not be given alerts for those areas.

Hi. Would you kindly fix the indenting at the bottom of the Talk page so we can see who is speaking? I'm afraid to do it, since I have been accused of various things on the Talk page. I don't want to be accused of improperly moving people's comments around. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:00, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ssilvers, oh, I assumed that's how it should be done since I was not responding to the comment right above me but to Nemov's comment. I.e. when there are multiple editors responding to a single comment, all of them should be on the same level of indentation so to speak. At least that's how I've seen most talk pages formatted. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 20:06, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer for each response to be indented chronologically, so it is easy to see who spoke, and in what order, but some people do it your way, so OK, if you so prefer it. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:44, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article says that he met Ballinger when he was 13, and she sent the gift to him when he was 15, just to illustrate how these "sources" are just repeating stuff they see on social media. BTW, I have never found Insider to be a bastion of fact-checking. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:37, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ssilvers, yikes! Misrepresentation of the facts would be an argument to discard that particular Insider article. Then again, I'm not sure we should take The Sun at their word either. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 23:53, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Right, none of these gossip sources has actually looked into the story. They are just looking at the videos posted and sloppily summarizing them. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:10, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with your deletion of the brackets.

The BLP exemption is never guaranteed, and that's why it's better to get others involved. Morbidthoughts (talk) 20:48, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm well familiar with 3RR and trust my judgment regarding exemptions. Thank you. I don't care to participate in frivolous discussions that paint me as biased right from the outset. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 20:53, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may restore the edit yourself. If you need help citing sources, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 15:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the page for Rainbow flag you removed my edit. I edited the text because the cited "source" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag#cite_note-Fotw-IncaEmpire-18) does neither state that Tupac Amaru used the rainbow flag nor can be even called a "reliable" source since it is a collection of flags posted by users. In all the wikipedia articles about Tupac Amaru you can see this flag: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bandera_de_la_rebeli%C3%B3n_de_1780.svg The wikipedia article about the Flag of Cusco also confirms that the rainbow flag was only associated with the Incan Empire in the 1970s without any evidence. (Flag of Cusco) So Tupac Amaru did most certainly not use the Rainbow Flag for his rebellion. Therearesusamongus (talk) 20:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Therearesusamongus, if the source cited does not support the text, the correct course of action should be to either correct the text to conform with what the source says or to remove both the text and the source entirely. You should never change cited text in such a way that introduces new information not supported by the source that's already there. In that case you should replace the source with one that does. Regarding the bottom half of your message, note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 17:29, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you're an uninvolved editor, I request you to look at the articles

Wormholexx, so sorry for not responding sooner, I've been preoccupied and must have forgotten your message. I assume the conflict has been resolved? Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 16:46, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like to take a look at Template talk:Infobox film#‎Should we change "Distributor" to "Presented by"? and Talk:Mission: Impossible – Fallout#Production company/Distributor? If you have time, your comments are always appreciated. 2001:D08:2900:B820:17AC:6FB2:C5DE:206A (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also there's another recent discussion for track listing template. 2001:D08:2910:B7EF:17AC:F77F:AFB:708D (talk) 11:48, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too familiar with track list conventions, so I don't think I'm going to chime in. Throast ^{{{ping}} me!} (talk | contribs) 15:26, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the revisions to Lee Hardcastle - what's the difference in how he's still attributed as an artist on Tranz, but can't be on his own page? 24.125.26.243 (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I applaud you for your continued commitment to the truth. I am so sorry that a particular someone has been threatening and shit-talking you for doing your job. I support you and I love you <3 2605:A601:A9E2:E000:CC63:43A7:EAB9:364D (talk) 18:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I know I'm going out on a limb here by just asking you to let me edit Kanye's Wikipedia article. But I've noticed that the people in charge on editing have left out a lot of information in the sections about 2016, which was a pivotal moment in his life. If we can work together to come to an agreement then that'd be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tronfa (talk • contribs) 19:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tronfa, nobody is in charge of any article on Wikipedia. It so happens that some editors who probably have the article on their watchlist are more willing to respond to edit requests than others. That said, if you'd like to add anything specific to the article and don't yet have the necessary user rights to edit it directly, feel free to make a request on Talk:Kanye West following the steps here and using this template.
