If you know this then you may point to a non-gossip verifyable source confirming this. --Denniss (talk) 18:58, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Scott Weinger

Hi Dennisss! It's E247G (talk). Here's the source to Scott Weigner's birthday (it's non gossip, don't worry) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0918334/

Imdb is considered uneliable for bio data as it's similar to a wiki. --11:09, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hey buddy, changed that one to rotten tomatoes because I've seen it used for other bio data. Also go ahead and just remove IMDB from any person's bio data that you see of. Candace Cameron also has unreliable sources in her bio data so change that too :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by E247G (talk • contribs) 09:27, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Molotov-Ribbentrop pact

Hi Denniss, hope you're well. Thank you for your thoughts. I'm not sure I agree with your thoughts. That kind of commentary is not material to an introductory paragraph of a wikipedia article. What's to say we shouldn't have commentary on what other contemporary politicians think of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact as well? Why are we limiting ourselves to just those two if we're going to have that kind of commentary in an intro paragraph? I think those thoughts are interesting and relevant, but they belong in a separate section of the article, which your certainly welcome to make.

Before you revert again, please go to the article's Talk page. Solicitr (talk) 16:15, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

I revert that comment to you. Discussed to death there. --17:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

Battle of Kursk

Can I read the References sources you're talking about? Furthermore the casualties and losses section of this web page clearly indicated that there were 111132 German casualties during the Soviet counter-offensive. Also, please read this section. Your casualties toll is incoherent with the casualties and losses section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlainDuponDetDupont (talk • contribs) 08:11, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

GDDR SDRAM

Hi, any reason why the lead section in bold should not match the article title? Feudonym (talk) 21:35, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Sorry, that should be GDDR4 SDRAM Feudonym (talk) 21:36, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Look at the reference from JEDEC which specifies it as SGRAM. --Denniss (talk) 23:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

MILO PARKER

Hi Denniss,

Regarding the update on Milo Parker, I was trying to add his birthday from Famous Birthday's, as that's a verified site for birthdays, and it said it was a spam website, I'm new to Wiki so i don't know how to bypass it so it can be added?

We need verifyable and reliable sources for Bio data (especially if minors/youths are involved), that gossip site is neither. --Denniss (talk) 10:31, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

Understood, thanks.

Nicholas Hamilton

The linked tweet from his official twitter in the wiki article contains the following: "Today is the first day of #PrideMonth. I speak on behalf of the whole LGBTQ+ community when I say we stand with our black brothers and sisters. Just because it is the start of our month DOES NOT mean the time for justice has ended #BLM #JusticeForGeorge"

Clearly, claiming to speak on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, saying that the LGBTQ+ community stands with "our black brothers and sisters" and including himself in "our" when he calls Pride Month "our month" is a statement that he is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. There is no way to interpret that tweet in a different way. A reference to his own self-identification belongs in his wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:A000:121F:87E4:610F:230:6F8D:673F (talk) 19:02, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Was indeed sourced, read the article and the references. Revert your reversion.

OP Barbarossa

Hi Denniss

Regarding the edit I did on Operation Barbarossa, what was the reason you undid the edit? (which was the symbols to show the fate of the commanders that died during the war) I'm curious and I would like to know why, so I could learn from my mistakes. SkitMaster34 (talk) 04:41, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Irrelevant information for this broad article. this kind of info may be OK for smaller scale battles but on this broad article it leads to an information overflow. --Denniss (talk) 07:06, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Hetzer/Maresal

Hallo, Denniss.

Wie du bemerkt hast, habe ich in den letzten Tagen angefangen, Informationen zu Panzer-Artikeln hinzuzufügen, die mit Rumänien zu tun haben. So wie du aber auch bemerkt hast, mach ich das nie, ohne vertrauenswürdige Quellen hinzuzufügen. Ich finde also, es wäre besser wenn du Diskussions-Artikel starten würdest, anstatt einfach Edits zu löschen, die von Quellen unterstützt sind.

Bei der Hetzer/Maresal Sache ist es ja ungenau, ob die beiden verwandt sind oder nicht, es wird aber debattiert. Das heißt ja, dass es falsch wäre, diese mögliche Verwandtschaft einfach weg zu löschen.

Übrigens, ich plane in den nächsten Tagen einen Artikel zum "Cega" Panzer zu schreiben. Das war angeblich ein rumänisches Panzer-Projekt aus dem Kalten Krieg, das mit dem Leopard 1 verwandt war. Ich will also im Artikel des Leopard 1 den Cega im "See also" Abschnitt einfügen. Ich mach also keinen langen Aufschrieb über ihn, da er ja für den Leopard 1-Artikel nicht relevant genug ist, sondern füge ihn nur bei "See also" hinzu. Hoffentlich hast du nichts dagegen (ich sehe nicht, was einer dagegen hätte, solang es eine Verbindung zwischen den beiden Panzern gibt). Lupishor (talk) 15:58, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Repeated reversion of edits

Please discontinue this harassment. It serves no purpose.Brucelucier (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC).

You have absolutely no idea of what you are writing about in this article and you introduced factual errors without need. that borders vandalism. --Denniss (talk) 16:23, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Raffey Cassidy

Hi @Denniss: If you want to take the content those references refer to, then please do so, but don't put those junk references back in. Raw search urls are never allowed to be used on Wikipedia at any time. They are junk. scope_creep^Talk 22:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

If you believe those refs are bad (have no opinion on this) and choose to remove them then you are responsible to fix the fallout caused by the removal. --Denniss (talk) 23:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

VDM propeller

Hi Dennis, in this edit, a user linked to VDM, which is a DAB page. However, there doesn't seem to be an obvious target article on the DAB page. Do you know if VDM is the name of a company, or is it a German abbreviation for something else, like a type of propeller? Thanks. BilCat (talk) 10:01, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Prop and prop hub manufacturer Vereinigte Deutsche Metallwerke --Denniss (talk) 13:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

OK, thanks. BilCat (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Sophia Lillis

Hi, I saw you reverted my edit on Sophia Lillis. Can you kindly show me where IMDb is excluded as a reliable BLP source? I tried searching myself but could not find any - only that biographical articles which rely primarily or entirely on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), then a template can be added so that references can be improved.[1] Nowhere could I find that even a single statement which has been sourced from IMDb should be removed entirely, but I'm happy to be corrected.

May I also state, although I'm aware that it's not a good argument for doing so, that many articles, maybe even the majority, on actors, actresses, or people in film industry, especially Filmographies, have been sourced entirely from IMDb. There is even an External Link to IMDb at the bottom of every actor, actress and director's Wikipedia article, including Sophia Lillis. If it is unreliable then should they be removed also?

I also notice you mention "gossip sites" in the same reasoning for removing my edit - I'm not sure how mentioning this is relevant? Are you trying to imply that IMDb is equal in reliability to gossip sites? That seems disingenuous.

Thanks. Feudonym (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

Does Rotten Tomatoes count as a reliable source? If so, please be aware that this information has also most likely been sourced from IMDb, when you look at the birth place also.

If it helps, her birthday must be between 25 November and 25 February, going by these two interviews and the ages mentioned in each (18 and 19 respectively). Feudonym (talk) 19:24, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

imdb and possible RT are user-based content so not consiered reliable (like any other Wiki or wiki-like site). Please open a discussion at the article talk page stating the interview links, those may be usable but don't know how to best add them. See also WP:BLPRS--Denniss (talk) 20:08, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

"E-mail this user"

Does anyone to e-mail this user for English Wikipedia? --Frontman830 (talk) 01:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

why should I answer this nonsense you sent me? --Denniss (talk) 11:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

I meant your "e-mail this user" is located on German Wikipedia and on Meta Wikimedia, but some other projects on Wikimedia wikis, doesn't have one either. --Frontman830 (talk) 03:26, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

WP:COMPUNITS

Hi, please stop re-adding IEC units, from WP:COMPUNITS:

The IEC prefixes kibi- (symbol Ki), mebi- (Mi), gibi- (Gi), etc., are generally not to be used except:

• when the majority of cited sources on the article topic use IEC prefixes;
• in a direct quote using the IEC prefixes;
• when explicitly discussing the IEC prefixes; or
• in articles in which both types of prefix are used with neither clearly primary, or in which converting all quantities to one or the other type would be misleading or lose necessary precision, or declaring the actual meaning of a unit on each use would be impractical.

If you'd like to change the manual of style, you can start a discussion at WT:MOSNUM. Very few sources use the IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc) with the vast majority using the classic metric units (KB, MB, GB, etc). Our articles reflect what our sources say, not original research. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:47, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

I read a lot of Blah Blah in your post above. The articles I reverted your man-on-a-mission changes should be very specific in the units they use as RAM is and has always been using multiples of 8 for sizes, not like data storages with their odd usage. --Denniss (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
