== Thanks and a tip == |
|||
Thanks for your contributions. Several of them look quite good to me. However, you might want to be a bit more carful when editing what we call, in Wikilingo, "[[WP:BLP]]s", or articles concerning the biographies of living people. When writing these, we are particularly conservative (in the general, not the political sense of the word). Statements should have good, reliable and secondary sources. I have reverted a couple of your edits where you either gave no sources, the sources were questionable, or primary. As an example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Castle&type=revision&diff=661936889&oldid=661499018 here] you added a statement about a representative voting a particular way on a particular vote. Representatives typically vote on many votes, so by highlighting a subset in this way we can create bias. Therefore we require secondary sources discussing this particular vote, to evaluate if it is important enough to include in a biography. Take a look at [[WP:BLP]] yourself to see the background of these policies. Good luck and have fun! --[[User:Stephan Schulz|Stephan Schulz]] ([[User talk:Stephan Schulz|talk]]) 06:46, 12 May 2015 (UTC) |

::Also, regarding my edit to James Hansen, you said it was "not even remotely true, and unsourced". That's half-right. It was unsourced, which was my bad, [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2007/sep/19/inside-the-beltway-69748548/?page=all my source is right here]. In that article, it's pretty clear Hansen did express concerns about the coming of so-called global cooling, which is why I included it in the article. If it's alright with you, I'd like to add it back, with the source. [[User:SilverSurfingSerpant|SilverSurfingSerpant]] ([[User talk:SilverSurfingSerpant#top|talk]]) 06:54, 12 May 2015 (UTC) |

:::The [[Washington Times]], despite its impressive name, was founded by [[Sun Myung Moon]] and is not always the most reliable source. Even so, the article you linked to does not support the edit- it states: ''James E. Hansen, who has publicly criticized the Bush administration for dragging its feet on climate change and labeled skeptics of man-made global warming as distracting “court jesters,” appears in a 1971 Washington Post article that warns of an impending ice age within 50 years.'' Note that "appears in" is different from "warns of". If you dig a little deeper, you will find that the WaPo in 1971 somewhat sensationalised a paper by Rasool and Schneider that talked about the ''possible'' impact of increasing particulate releases into the atmosphere. Rasool and Schneider applied a program developed by Hansen for analysing scattering in the atmosphere of Venus to Earth's atmosphere and acknowledged that, which the WaPo picked up per "If NASA contributed, it must be true". Hansen back then made no such claim, and even for R&S you need to ignore a lot of conditionals to claim that they made it. The original ''Science'' article is [http://www.sciencemag.org/content/173/3992/138 here], although it requires a log-in. --[[User:Stephan Schulz|Stephan Schulz]] ([[User talk:Stephan Schulz|talk]]) 07:22, 12 May 2015 (UTC) |

== Sources in other languages == |
|||
Hello, thank you for your edits on Wikipedia and your updates at the [[2015 Michoacán shootout]]. I just wanted to let you know that it is OK to use sources in other languages; if you can find a source that backs up the information in English, it's sometimes better to use that one. But using sources in other languages is OK too. In the article I just mentioned, the Spanish sources tend to be more detailed. Thanks!

:Alright, thanks for the advice. Like you said, it's somteimes better to use English sources, so after I removed the Spanish ones, I replaced them with English ones.

Hello SilverSurfingSerpent, Chazghir9 here. Thank you for catching my edit glitch, and so quickly! Here’s what I was trying to remedy, and being a newbie here, didn’t do so quite up to speed. I noted on the wik. page for Idrees Sulieman, jazz trumpet player, that he had played with the Carolina Cotton Pickers. I wondered about this and discovered that this group, the Carolina Cotton Pickers “was the seminal turning band created in the 1920s from the roster of Jenkins Orphanage Band musicians.” I found this at: http://www.charlestonjazz.net/carolina-cotton-pickers/ |
|||
Still curious, I discovered that the list of musicians at this Charleston jazz Initiative site does not included Sulieman. Thus I messaged them about this - and perhaps they’ll be able to confirm if Sulieman was or was not a member of this band. And if he was, they’ll revise their page and include him. Additionally, I did notice as you may have, or certainly will… that in the Sulieman page, the statement that he was with the Carolina Cotton Pickers is not sourced. Hopefully the Charleston Jazz Initiative will respond to my query and these gaps can be properly solved. [[User:Chazghir9|Chazghir9]] ([[User talk:Chazghir9|talk]]) 23:46, 25 May 2015 (UTC) |

== [[History of the Jews in Bulgaria]] == |
|||
You reverted my edit on [[History of the Jews in Bulgaria]]. I had fixed the mistake made by a user back in January, who wrote that Maxim Behar was Bulgarian-Israeli. He is Jewish, but he is not Israeli, or at least it's not written anywhere on the web, including his personal web pages. It's [http://www.maximbehar.com/en/about no secret he has ties with Israel and Israeli/Jewish organizations around the world], but nowhere on the web has been mentioned that he has an Israeli citizenship. I searched on Google for a pretty long time after you reverted my edit, but found nothing that supports the (unsourced!) statement made by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Yogisenact Yogisenact] on 6 January 2015. I am not going to research the correct spelling of Maxim Behar's name in Hebrew and search for him in an Israeli citizens database (if there is one at all). There's no need to be anal about something rather unimportant, and after all let's not forget that [[Evidence of absence|it's pretty hard to prove the nonexistence of something]]. Anyway, even if the guy in question has an Israeli citizenship, that does not truly make him Bulgarian-Israeli - a Bulgarian-Israeli should mean someone who has been born in Bulgaria but lives predominantly in Israel - Behar's main place of residence is Bulgaria, as evidenced by a lot of sources, like the mailing address [http://www.maximbehar.com/en/contacts here]. |
|||
Sorry to say it, but your revert was rather counterproductive - I had included something important about him, namely the fact that he is mainly known for being a PR expert. Is the word "expert" the problem? That's the word we use in Bulgarian, I guess in English it might sound NPOV - I'll replace it with "[PR] professional", which seems to be the preferred wording in the [[Public relations]] article. |
|||
I sort of feel like having been trolled (which I know was not your intention) wasting more than an hour in rather pointless research... But hey! :) At least I learned something more about that guy (about whom I've been somewhat interested previously).

Hello, please be careful when dealing with consecutive vandalism edits; at [[Jennings Michael Burch]], you only undid one of the two edits by [[Special:Contributions/2604:2000:111c:5:d126:667f:29f3:c41|2604:2000:111c:5:d126:667f:29f3:c41]].
