User talk:Donner60

Please put comments or questions on new subjects at the very bottom of the page, use a new section heading, refer to the exact title of an article and sign your message with four tildes. That will help me to see that there is something new on the page and will point me to the right article and person to be concerned with. This will allow me to reply faster. Thank you.

Dude you're the worst person ever. You can't spell dominant right and you have no clue who Cooper Rush is.

Stop being such an idiot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BC24:EBE0:2DD8:1D05:C06A:A487 (talk) 03:48, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

New messages, questions, comments: Put at very bottom of page, see text of this section

Please put new messages at the very bottom of the page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 08:39, 13 December 2012 (UTC) To clarify, the new item should not be below this message and not below the repeated message after my introductory paragraphs but at the very bottom of the page after every other item on the page. It will help me to understand what you are talking about to add a section heading, identify the article you are concerned with (if your question or comment refers to a specific article), using a link, probably putting the article title in the heading, and sign your edit with four tildes (~~~~) so I know to whom to reply. Keep an eye on this page because I may just reply here if the answer is simple and does not seem to be time sensitive. When I notice an out of order question or comment, I will move it to the bottom of the page and provide a heading if there is none already. Donner60 (talk) 22:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

User Talk page guidelines

Excerpts Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#User talk pages While the purpose of article talk pages is to discuss the content of articles, the purpose of user talk pages is to draw the attention or discuss the edits of a user. Wikipedia is not a social networking site, and all discussion should ultimately be directed solely toward the improvement of the encyclopedia.

Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages, though archiving is preferred. They may also remove some content in archiving. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. This specifically includes both registered and unregistered users.

There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags. See Wikipedia:User pages#Removal of comments, notices, and warnings for full details.

User talk pages are subject to the general userpage guidelines on handling inappropriate content—see Wikipedia:User pages#Handling inappropriate content.

• Personal talk page cleanup: On your own user talk page, you may archive threads at your discretion. Simply deleting others' comments on your talk page is permitted, but most editors prefer archiving.

From the section Editing comments, Other's comments in Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines:

• Fixing format errors that render material difficult to read. In this case, restrict the edits to formatting changes only and preserve the content as much as possible. Examples include fixing indentation levels, removing bullets from discussions that are not consensus polls or requests for comment (RfC), fixing list markup, using <nowiki> and other technical markup to fix code samples, and providing wikilinks if it helps in better navigation.
• Fixing layout errors: This could include moving a new comment from the top of a page to the bottom, adding a header to a comment not having one, repairing accidental damage by one party to another's comments, correcting unclosed markup tags that mess up the entire page's formatting, accurately replacing HTML table code with a wikitable, etc.
• Sectioning: If a thread has developed new subjects, it may be desirable to split it into separate discussions with their own headings or subheadings. When a topic is split into two topics, rather than sub-sectioned, it is often useful for there to be a link from the new topic to the original and vice versa. A common way of doing this is noting the change at the [then-]end of the original thread, and adding an unobtrusive note under the new heading, e.g., :<small>This topic was split off from [[#FOOBAR]], above.</small>. Some reformatting may be necessary to maintain the sense of the discussion to date and to preserve attribution. It is essential that splitting does not inadvertently alter the meaning of any comments. very long discussions may also be divided into sub-sections.

Note that it is proper to use <nowiki> and other technical markup to fix code samples.

...............................

Please put messages, questions or comments at the very bottom of the page'. If you put them here (immediately before or after this paragraph), as some people have done, I may either not see them or more likely not see them very promptly. That will delay any reply from me to you. To clarify, your message, question or comment should not be immediately below this message but at the very bottom of the page after every other item on the page. It will help me to understand what you are talking about to add a section heading, identify the article you are concerned with, and use a link, (if your question or comment refers to a specific article), probably putting the article name in the heading, and sign your edit with four tildes (~~~~) so I know to whom to reply. Keep an eye on this page because I may just reply here if the answer is simple and does not seem to be time sensitive. Usually I will reply on your talk page and may note that reply on this page. If you do not get a reply on your talk page, check back here. I may put brief replies here, especially if they do not seem urgent. If you have a user name, I will try to remember to ping you if I just leave a return message here. When I notice a question or comment that was not placed at the bottom of the page, I will move it to the bottom of the page and provide a heading if there is not already a heading. Donner60 (talk) 22:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

If you put a question or comment on this page but not at 'the bottom of the page despite the above request, and can not find it, I have moved it to the bottom of the page with an appropriate heading if there was none. If your edit was disruptive, vandalism or abuse, and you do not find the edit, it is because I have deleted it. In most cases, I will also put another warning on your talk page.

Disambiguation link and bracket bot notifications

I occasionally get one of these notices. I fix the link or bracket, then delete the message, as the messages state is permissible, instead of further cluttering up these pages. Donner60 (talk) 05:13, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Ina Ray Hutton

I'm updating the Ina Ray Hutton page. You removed my edits, but I have documentation for these edits from various state and county recorders. Thank you, BombshellMel

They are not listed in the Internet Movie Database. If you are going to include them, you will need to cite a reliable, verifiable, third-party source. Since there is public information to the contrary, you will need to provide public information to support your addition - not just your own assertion. Donner60 (talk) 03:53, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

You're correct, they're not listed in IMDB. Ina's career was well established before IMDB, and I don't believe IMDB is the most reliable research area to verify a celebrity from the 1930's - 1950's. I've done extensive research work on Ina Ray Hutton and her history/family history. You can find out more at www.BombshellOfRhythm.com My research comes from ancestry, genealogy, newspaper, and county/state records, as well as personal interviews with her family members. Regards and thank you, BombshellMel

You are correct that IMDB is not necessarily the best source but it is referred to by many people. If you have independent reliable, verifiable sources which support the edits, you need to cite them. I don't question your personal interviews, but as far as Wikipedia guidelines are concerned, in the absence of other third-party sources, this simply amounts to your claim versus any other sources, including IMDB.

Suvarnabhumi

Sorry for late respond, I want to explain why I did removing Philippines theory part on those article. Those editing are done by user: Jasper0070 which I assumed he is a Filipino. He provide references in the part of article that has been edited by him, but when I check there's no mention at all about relation between Philippines and Suvarnabhumi. Those article just mention about importance of Cebu as trading point in the past, and artifacts that have been found in Cebu. You can read it by yourself in this URL [1]. Finally, I hope you can consider my opinion and suggestion, and sorry if I am the person that must be corrected, and for my English too. Thanks -Lyndonbaines (talk) 09:16, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

then why you will exclude the Philippine part since Cebu is a part of Philippines too? and other parts of Philippine islands are often called Suwarnaphumi sometimes Chryse or golden one "Golden Peninsula,", so refrain from reverting and i will restore it (if so) thank you! (Jasper0070 (talk) 10:36, 7 July 2017 (UTC))

Sorry for the late reply. Please edit the article to say what the sources show. If there are two versions, and each is supported by sources, please include them both. If the source does not support inclusion of Suvarnabhumi and no other source can be provided which supports that, then it should remain excluded. Since the fact has now been questioned, and the source has been shown not to include this point, Wikipedia guidelines require that a source be provided. If the island is often called Suvarnabhumi, some source should exist to support it. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 08:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

New question

..................…http://pib.nic.in/newsite/accred_index.aspx?Sel=3&PSel=1

I am new at this and found it very confusing to respond to your comments. Is there a better way to tackle this...may be by using email.

ML Kotru is a very senior journalist who also happens to be a Kashmiri. I have provided a link to all the accredited journalists published by Govt. Of India above. If you still have questions...please email me at mkotru@gmail.com. Thanks. Mark Kotru (talk) 04:32, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello D. I had a hard time finding where this had been placed on your talk page so I've moved it to try and save you some hunting. Best regards and enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 04:39, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

@MarnetteD: Good to hear from you; I hope you are doing well. Thanks for putting this where I could find it more easily. I might have missed this for some time otherwise. While I think there should always be a notice at the top of the page, I am sure that I am found a few out of place messages days later and just by chance. The notices at the top of the page don't always make an impression. Donner60 (talk) 05:02, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

I'm hanging in there. A bit too hot where I live but we are supposed to cool down for the weekend. Cheers! MarnetteD|Talk 05:06, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Replied to Mr. Kotru at length on his talk page. Donner60 (talk) 05:32, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

It's hard to find a citation, however as a professional musician I am amazed there was no law suit involved. All you have to do is listen to "Shattered" then listen to "Gunslinger" by Mink Deville and you will know that someone stole it from the other. Since Deville's album came out in 77 and the Stones came out in 78, well there you go!

Joao vicents page

How come u keep putting down my update on his page? Claudiusrocha (talk) 03:22, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Your update is not supported by any citations. In fact, it is obviously false. I have explained in more detail on your talk page. Donner60 (talk) 03:23, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Removed vandalism

Removed vandalism by Croncle and item by disruptive editor Huronn. Donner60 (talk) 04:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

"Vandalism"

I did not vandalise the Sebastian Buemi page, I just merely added content, which is true. Please go to www.autosport.com or www.motorsport.com to verify the information. He missed New York and only came back for Montreal, crashing in practice, then ranting at fellow drivers post-race, as well as being disqualified for an underweight car. Tonight is the season finale and he is 2nd in the championship to Di Grassi. So I did not vandalise anything, I merely added content to the page. Umsunu Wabo —Preceding undated comment added 04:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

You have removed the prior messages on your page so I cannot strike the last one as I was about to agree that your edit does not deserve a "final warning." These pages still remain in your history. Also, I continue to think the edit to which the last warning referred is still inappropriate as phrased and does not take into consideration the guidelines in the pages that I cited above. It is not up to the reader or editor to find and cite sources that support controversial edits, especially those that may disparage a living person or put them in a bad light. See the links I cite above concerning biographies of living persons and verifiability. The procedure to cite sources can be found in citing sources or help footnotes also linked above. Please also be careful not to use text from a copyrighted source unless you use a small number of words and identify it as a quotation (fair use). Your edit also uses slang and has a speculative ending. Again, see the links above and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch. If your deletion of the guideline pages means you do not intend to follow the guidelines, you are likely to find your further edits will be reverted and you seriously risk being blocked from editing.
