Lynn Frederick

Hi Material, you have restored false information regarding this lady's name, and deleted the true information. She was Lynn (no "e", no "Maria") Wagner Harding Frederick. You can obtain her birth certificate here: www.gro.gov.uk certificate number 5f/179 of Uxbridge registration district. Or you can see her details on www.freebmd.org.uk dob Sep Qtr 1954, mother's maiden name Sullivan. Material whatever you may think of yourself, to replace true data with false data is Vandalism.

Hello IP editor. I was about to redact these sources as a BLP violation, but fortunately I checked the article first to see that this person doesn't fall under BLP policy anymore. That would have been a big mistake. That said, we can't really use birth certificates even for people who are long dead. They're primary sources, and those are what newspapers and magazines use. It's called original research, and we have policies against it. We use the newspapers and magazines as our sources.
That said, I'll give you a little lesson in how to fix this problem the right way.
First, check the sources. The first source is to the https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk . Simply go there and pull up the article in question to verify what it says. If it doesn't say what our article says, then you have good grounds to remove it per WP:Verifiability.
Then, check the article's history. You'll notice that the article began as "Lynne Frederick" in 2006, and in October of that year an IP editor added the name "Maria", with no source (mind you, the article had zero sources at that time). It stayed like that until June of this year, when another IP added the "Wagner Harding" in this edit here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lynne_Frederick&diff=1090075801&oldid=1090075614
Two edits later a major contributor to the article removed the name "Maria", which was immediately put back by the IP editor.
My suggestion is to bring this up on the article's talk page, and give all these reasons why the name should be removed, and give people some time to respond. If you edit the article then give a good reason why in the edit summary at the bottom so others will know that it's a legitimate good-faith edit and not just some vandalism, or else they might revert you. I hope that helps. Zaereth (talk) 02:03, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Gertz

Hi, I noticed you undid my editing on the books published by Bill Gertz. Wikipedia is not a catalog WP:NOTCATALOG and it therefore isn't in line with the rules to list every single one of his books.

Tshibaka image

Hi, I noticed that you deleted an image that I had uploaded here. I thought it had a good rationale, but I’m no expert. Is there a deletion discussion anywhere? If the free use rationale was insufficient, then it would be helpful for me to understand why. The video of which the image was a screenshot had been the subject of sourced commentary, and it was not replaceable by a free image. Anythingyouwant (talk) 16:16, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t see any discussion about this image at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Why not? Anythingyouwant (talk) 06:08, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Addie293

You had warned him before but it is clear that this is disruption only account with nearly all of his edits reverted.

He is engaging in rampant disruption by falsely claiming that "none of the citations say",[1] "there is not citation calling Nehru a “Hindu Agnostic”,"[2] on another page now when the cited source clearly supports the information.[3]

Can you block him this time? Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 17:03, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy

Don't accuse me of "unexplained content removal". Anyone can see that I explained my edit; I consider your false accusation a personal attack. And even if I had not, in fact, explained why I removed what I did, you would still need to believe that the text I took out was worthwhile content. Did you even look at it? Ponymouse (talk) 06:38, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is no accusation. I just think that the content you remove is notable and referenced, and should stay in the article. Materialscientist (talk) 07:59, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Accusing me of unexplained content removal is rude enough. Claiming that you didn't even make the accusation is just pathetic. Do you think you are being funny or something? Ponymouse (talk) 10:27, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that you're new to Wikipedia, so please see WP:Assume good faith and WP:No personal attacks. You'll find that Wikipedia is not like social media or website comment sections, and the community as a whole greatly frowns on such hostile responses. It may just be that one person's explanation is quite often another's "WTF is that supposed to mean?" Zaereth (talk) 10:48, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This editor has been hostile to me, and made personal attacks against me. If they had said "I don't agree with the reason you gave for removing that content" or "could you elaborate on the reason you gave?", I would have found that obviously reasonable and I am sure we could have had a sensible discussion. But they did not say that. They said "unexplained content removal", which was obviously a lie, and then "there is no accusation", which was another simple lie. What basis is there for sensible discussion when that's their starting position? Ponymouse (talk) 11:18, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit summary, "removed trivia", was inadequate for removing sourced and notable content. Materialscientist (talk) 11:24, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But you didn't say that, did you? You lied, claiming "unexplained content removal". You lied again, claiming you had not made that accusation. From the section right below, it is clear that it is your habit to lie like this. Ponymouse (talk) 19:16, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just took a look at their edit history, look at the things they've been saying when they revert/make edits. The only thing I have to say about it is WP:HA. Zekerocks11 (talk) 22:28, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly: "removed trivia" says what you did, not why you did it. WP:TRIVIA say, This guideline does not suggest removing trivia sections, or moving them to the talk page. If information is otherwise suitable, it is better that it be poorly presented than not presented at all.
Another useful page for you know is WP:BRD. --Hob Gadling (talk)
"removed trivia" says what I did, and why. Ponymouse (talk) 19:16, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bandy Lee

I gave a full explanation why I removed this material - on the talk page, and also repeated that explanation in my edit summary. In short - this is tangential material that does not belong in a biography, but may have place in an article about the book. Please participate in the discussion if you think otherwise, and remove the material you mistakenly restored. Red Slapper (talk) 22:20, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that this is tangential, but if others disagree with me, then please feel free to revert me. Materialscientist (talk) 22:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't say you disagreed with me, you said I didn't give an explanation, which is false. And you left a similarly worded false warning on my talk page.

Look, I get it - you are using some kind of automated tool to make these edits - as many as 10 per minute, so when you only spend 6 seconds per edit, you can't examine every one in detail, and you're bound to miss some stuff - as you did in this case. The proper thing to do when this is pointed out to you is to undo your actions, not double down while moving the goalposts.

Kindly remove the material you restored relying on an incorrect explanation, then we can debate the merits of including this statement on the article's talk page. Red Slapper (talk) 23:41, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Negative. I pause for a time sufficient for evaluating each edit. That said, I used a standard edit summary, which was clumsy in this case. Materialscientist (talk) 04:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user is still vandalizing on their talk page following your block. It may be wise to remove TPA. LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 08:22, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did I goof?

Was trying to report an IP and you near-immediately reverted. Did I mess the report up? DarkAudit (talk) 08:43, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've blocked the IP, and reverted you because your report flooded AIV board by transcluding the {{Wikipedia:NOTHERE}} page. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 08:46, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that. I {'d when I should've ['d. 😊 DarkAudit (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually my revert was an impulsive reaction to a weird text on AIV board. I could just block the IP and wait for a bot to clean up the page :-). Materialscientist (talk) 08:49, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns about possible paid editing

Hello, I'd like to draw something to your attention, it might possibly be a case of paid editing, but I'm not sure and don't want to bite the newcomer if I'm wrong. Hopefully you can give a second opinion. The page in question is Draft:Authena AG.

It appears to contain many of the red flags listed in WP:NPPCOI: all done in one edit, new account creator, inappropriate tone (such as having an awards section), odd style of referencing (the retrieved dates listed in the ref list say 2021, not 2022), and it pretty much fits "Articles That Look Too Good To Be True".

What do you think? Styx (talk) 08:48, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking for myself, I try not to judge such matters from one-few edits. Experience tells that it is easy to make a silly mistake. Draft pages are not crucial anyway. Materialscientist (talk) 08:52, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks. Styx (talk) 08:52, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you perhaps...

Look in on the three edits I performed at John Stankey, making any further changes you think necessary? (I see that you have edited there before.) The edits were autotagged as possible addition of unsourced material to this BLP article, but as you will see, what was done could not be further from this (automated) conclusion. Material was identified that did not appear in the sources presented, and so that material was separated out and given inline tags to note the need for sources. The addition of the lead rewrite tag was also ID'd as the possible addition of unsourced material. (!) In short, the article will need an experienced set of eyes to ensure it is not knee-jerk reverted, because the bot mistakenly declared something amiss. Cheers. 2601:240:CD08:B0A0:E155:91AE:506F:29F6 (talk) 23:09, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of sources

You changed an edit I've made due to a lack of source, however I'm referencing a primary source (oral), how do I cite that on Wikipedia? I believe this is important as much of the information regarding this clan is in oral history, and due to colonialism and civil war there aren't traditional sources to cite, but the information is still important so how do I do this?

Could you block this IP?

Hi Materialscientist. I have been building this article for a few days and have everything referenced in it (facts, quotes, locations etc.). I have done several articles in my time to GA standard (I only edit infrequently now) and understand the requirements.

Vandal blocked for one edit

In all good faith and some curiosity, may I ask what exactly qualified this lone edit for an instant block?

I really don’t see what your point is in defending wannabe rappers that try to boost their numbers by hacking into regular people’s Spotify accounts, but I’m sure you have a fantastic reason for that. If the rapper can edit his page, defending his robbing and beating a Florida barber by saying “I was protecting my family”, why can I not point out that he is actively and pathetically trying to make money criminally by violating probably thousands’ of people’s privacy? Have some sense of decency.

Regarding your recent reverting of IP edit at Tseung Kwan O station

Hello Materialscientist. I have noticed your recent reverting at Tseung Kwan O station of an edit made by an IP user. This is just a heads up that the latest IP user edit reverting another IP user was doing the right thing, reverting unconfirmed crystal ball future extensions of a metro line for the current-day station layout table diagram. I'd wish you would've noticed that the version you reverted to clearly has a wikitext syntax mistake in the form of internal links. Not blaming it on you, just a heads up for the mistakingly-made revert. With best regards, LuciferianThomas 03:57, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oahu...

Hello. The pronunciation of Oahu may not be as apparent to readers as the pronunciation guide on the Oahu page. Since it is pronounced "uh-wah-hoo," I thought adding that would make it clearer as to how to pronounce the word. However, I did not know how to add it into the pronunciation guide. I would be grateful if it could be added--perhaps in parentheses--to give a clearer understanding of how to pronounce the word. Thank you!

Regional dialects vary considerably. For example, most people from the Lower 48 see the word "Denali" and pronounce it Den-alley. Here in Alaska, most (but not all) people say Duh-naw-lee. Alaska Natives, on the other hand, tend to drop the first vowel entirely, and say D'naw-lee. I usually say Oahu like the OP does. Zaereth (talk) 22:19, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking users

Hello, I just wanted to check in about some of the IP users you have blocked recently due to vandalism. Many have only been warned once or have not been warned at all, and I do not believe it is appropriate to block them without giving them four warnings. Take 14.0.164.235 as an example, they only vandalized once and were not given any warnings, potentially too soon to block them. Thanks, Redtree21 (talk) 10:44, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for feedback. I understand your point, but this, combined with its edit summary, is not an innocent test. Materialscientist (talk) 10:51, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mass BLP violations at Cal Kern

Hi Material, perhaps you can protect this and do the rev/deletion thing before it gets any worse. Thanks, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:57, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Materialscientist (talk · contribs). Thanks for reviewing this article. I was about to add references for my summary. I will take your suggestions for the future edits. If you have a right to restore the contents, could you kindly do it? Then I can continue to work on the references right after that. Thank you. Tea18450 (talk) 06:07, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored much of your changes. You can always find each edit in the article history. Best regards. Materialscientist (talk) 06:16, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Materialscientist (talk · contribs). Thanks for restoring my edits. Hope to work with you more in the future. Tea18450 (talk) 06:24, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Foreign Function Interface, Naming

The Foreign Function Interface article currently contains an unsourced (and likely incorrect) claim about the origin of the term. (Well, there is a citation link, but it is irrelevant for the issue at hand.) See the talk page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Foreign_function_interface#Origin_of_the_term_%22Foreign_Function_Interface%22 for details. I tried to improve the article and remove the wrong citation, but you reverted the edit for not being "constructive". What can I do to get this incorrect claim removed?

"If you came here because I reverted your unsourced change, cite your references in the article you edited" is all good and well, but how do you cite the removal of something? And how do you "constructively" delete bad information? 84.149.130.33 (talk) 11:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thin Lizzy album genres

Hi, the edits I make on albums are not based on my personal views but they are the the small knowledge of me about rock and its subgenres, there are not always sources to label an album's genre correctly so what's wrong if someone with their own knowledge of rock music try to help here? And another question, what's exactly blues rock on Thin Lizzy's first 2 albums? Progrock70s (talk) 11:38, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Madrid (Spain)

Hi, in all biographies of each language it's indicated that Morata was born in Madrid (Spain). The IP address before me improperly edited the biography, I corrected it. JackkBrown (talk) 12:35, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Materialscientist! Thank-you for correcting my mistake. I'm still getting a feel for working with Wikipedia as a paid contributor (wolfSSL employee), so wanted to make sure I understood the reason for the removal... Was the link to the wolfSSH Github repo removed because it was 1) a link to source-code/repo (i.e. source-code in general not considered a reference), 2) a link to the source-code of the subject of the change (i.e. considered advertising / COI), or both? I appreciate your time and guidance! Tim-Weller-wolfSSL (talk) 14:34, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Islam Nusantara

I apologize for the previous inconvenience. You were probably mistaken sir.

I just want to added some information about the first muslim kingdom in Nusantara. Nothing more, no vandalic intention. But, as i re-read it. I realised it's quite irrelevant to the topic. About the information that i have deleted. It was purely my theory.

But, i won't bother about the delet you made. Mine was quite irrelevant though. GabutersMls (talk) 02:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That range you blocked has been vandalizing their talk pages. Could you revoke its TPA, please? LilianaUwU (talk / contribs) 08:08, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Catherine Leroy (Birthplace : Sannois, not Paris) with source from the french administration

Hi Materialscientist, you may check Wikidata for the 2 sources. Catherine Leroy was born in Sannois, a suburb near Paris, not Paris --> Source INSEE (French administration) --> [[7]] That's the most accurate source for french people born in France.

Non-free rationale for File:Del fontaine&hilda meek.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Del fontaine&hilda meek.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Felix QW (talk) 16:08, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May I please understand your motives?

Hello there, hope you're doing well.

I know you are busy but I was wondering what you meant by "3.4.10" in Paul Le Jeune? My intention was not malicious nor was it something that needed a reference as far as I'm concerned, it was simply to change a link to avoid confusion between two similarly named political entities in the introduction paragraph, one being a modern still existing country established in 1867 with a capital in Ottawa and another, a french colony of the 17th and 18th century. That was it. I kinda feel like this being the result of an accidental little bad faith here because of IP status. If it was a sentence in the main body of the page with unsourced claims, then you'd be right, but it's not the case here. It is one thing to patrol pages against saboteurs of all kinds but I'm not one of them and I'd at least like an explanation that isn't some number, it would be appreciated greatly.

Take care. 96.22.228.193 (talk) 02:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This has nothing to do with your IP status, but we usually capitalize French in English. I an neutral to your changes. Materialscientist (talk) 02:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So, may I put them back, with capitalization this time? Perhaps just a correction edit would be less overkill than a revert, it helps making it easier to see the problem and course-correct for the future, just sayin'. In any case, thanks for answering so quickly. 96.22.228.193 (talk) 02:52, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
