Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted this pending change to February 2. I looked for a source for this date of birth in the Jackie Burroughs article so I could add it to February 2 and it was unsupported by any source there either.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

Please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 23:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

MicroProse Software Edits by the Co Founder, Wild Bill Stealey

Hello from Wild Bill,

I am the Co-Founder and former CEO of MicroProse Software of Hunt Valley Md.

My linedin profile is here:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jw-wild-bill-stealey-47b25/

You can reach me at jwstealey@ient.com or on SKYPE at ientcustservice.

I was trying to put correct information in the page. It was all rejected and I am not sure why?

It is all true and the facts.

How do I get those edits back?

Thanks, JW Wild Bill Stealey — Preceding unsigned comment added by JWStealey (talk • contribs) 16:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

@JWStealey:The content you added was so unencyclopedic - "We also sold", "When we had any real money", "I have to go back to real work now but back later to fix some more things below that are very wrong." that it is considered vandalism. An encyclopedic way of saying it would be more like "the company also sold", rather than "We also sold". You are welcome to improve that page, but remember to use a formal style and supply your text with good sources to reference your claims. Thanks, L293D (✉ ) 16:41, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Dylan Howard

Why did you revert me? His role in trying to discredit HW's accusers is confirmed by top RS (NYT, the New Yorker) and is not disputed. ANother thing: Why are the dozen or so accusations of sexual harassment against Howard being removed from the article? 128.135.96.210 (talk) 20:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

hi 128.135.96.210 and L293D, chiming in here to provide some thoughts.

while the information you provided is indeed confirmed by top RS, it seems as if you didn't fully read through the articles as many of the facts were different than you'd included in the article. you mentioned that weinstein offered to pay howard $20,000 a month, but the article states that weinstein offered to pay A. J. Benza that money. see this quote:

"He said Mr. Weinstein suggested that Mr. Benza pose as an author “writing a hit job,’’ so he could call potential sources to learn what they were saying about the producer. Mr. Weinstein discussed paying Mr. Benza up to $20,000 a month and providing a list of contacts, Mr. Benza said, though the producer never followed through. Mr. Weinstein’s spokeswoman denied that he had proposed the scheme."

as such, i removed this mention from the page, and will be adding it into A. J. Benza's page.

your paragraph sounded like howard was conspiring with weinstein, but each article states that howard helped while he was under the impression that weinstein had not done anything wrong. added clarification surrounding that.

a few additional notes:

you're right that sexual harassment claims seem to have been deleted from his page in the past. however, articles state that it was only one accusation, not dozens. i've re-added in this information with proper sourcing.

the verbatim repetition of unwanted material in the lead and the controversy section is unnecessary, as per MOS:LEADCITE. other individuals who are facing similar controversy, such as Aziz Ansari, Mario Batali, and Oliver Stone don't duplicate this material in the lead, at least not at the time of this post.

i cleaned up your sourcing and provided further information such as author names and titles. there's a button when you edit that says "cite" and you can easily add this information in there. also, i saw you used your references numerous times. rather than re-sourcing each time, you can provide a reference name and just include that in any additional sources. that keeps the reference section looking clean without duplication.

hope this helps. going to cross-post this on the talk page for dylan howard, too. looking forward to any other feedback you may have. feel free to respond here, on his talk page, or on my own talk page. thanks. CanoeUnlined (talk) 00:00, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Template that might be of interest

Hi, I was inspired by your user page styling. I created the template User:Bellezzasolo/UserPage based off it. In particular, it is quite easy to maintain - for example, try

{{User:Bellezzasolo/UserPage|border=navy|background_normal=lightgreen|
text_normal=navy|text_highlight=lightgreen|background_select=navy|user_title_color=green}}

I thought that might be of interest. ∰Bellezzasolo✡ Discuss 02:03, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks great! I am impressed by your wikisyntax skill -- with all those {{BASEPAGENAME}}s, I am completely lost. Besides, I claim no ownership of my userpage -- I stole different parts of it from different users. Also, I noticed that on your userpage, you have a userbox saying that you would like to have your own operation system and that funny because actually am editing on my own homemade browser.

El Salvador Edit

Hi! I'm pretty sure I undid your revision to my edit on the El Salvador page and wanted to clarify that it was not my intention. I meant to use the citation for a fact stated in another paragraph and got super confused when trying to fix my mistake. I am super new to editing on Wiki so my apologies if that came across as anything other than a mistake. Russovidal (talk) 04:46, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

User:Demoreasimpson

Just a heads up, I mentioned you in this ANI thread. You are not the subject of the thread, you were just mentioned because you warned the user who is the subject of the thread. Just wanted to make you aware. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:59 on February 3, 2018 (UTC)

My (in)famous sense of humor

I realize you're probably joking, but just in case =) I can't undo those edits automatically, and I'm too lazy to do it manually. BytEfLUSh _Talk 03:27, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

@BytEfLUSh: I actually really thought you had written this, but now I see, ha ha ha. I guess 2600:1017:B80D:43B0:413E:3D16:7761:F558 really has a sense of humor. Still, I really laughed when I saw your 'warning'. :-) L293D (✉ ) 03:34, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Did you get mixed up with your cap lock when creating your account? There is absolutely no logic in your capitalizing certain letters and not others. L293D (✉ ) 03:37, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

It does sound like something I would write (bar a few words), so I'll give him the credit for that. =D

Ah, no... And I hate that question. =) I was a teen, thinking I'll be the next Kevin Mitnick, just needed a cool, broken caps name. And so it stuck for the past 18 years or so. =) I also hate changing usernames, no matter how stupid they are, and I had this one on Wiki for the past 12 years.

February 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Per the Manual of Style, Wikipedia gives precedence to gender self-identification as reported by reliable sources. This includes the use of appropriate pronouns corresponding to the identity (e.g., trans women typically use she/her and trans men typically use he/him). Further, per this part of the Manual of Style, birth names should be included in the lead sentence only when the person was notable prior to coming out. Your edits were counter to the one or both of these aspects of the Manual of Style and have been reverted or removed. Repeated vandalism like this can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. EvergreenFir (talk) 06:17, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes I see, and I humbly apologize. I had not read that section of the manual of style. For a bioligical male to become bioligically female would require changing the DNA and chromosomes of every one of his body cells, but I understand that to become socially female, hair transplant and a few other treatments are enough. Sorry for dirupting. L293D (✉) 14:37, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

55th Army

Hi, the blue division bent under pressure from the 55th army in the battle of krasny bor, but the division did not break, which is why I made the change. --2001:8003:548A:5600:BD2F:662B:69B1:9637 (talk) 02:20, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Forczyk states that Massed Soviet artillery fire pulverized many of the forward Spanish positions, creating gaps into which tank-infantry assault groups quickly rushed. In a few hours, the 63rd Guards Rifle Division had fought its way into Krasny Bor and Mishkino, where Spanish rear-area troops and engineers desperately fought to fend off encroaching T-34 tanks. That sounds like a breakthrough to me. He also states While the Spanish troops fought tenaciously, they suffered 3,645 casualties, which effectively destroyed one of the division's three regiments and wrecked their morale. Afterwards, Lindemann told Kuchler that 'I don't trust the Spaniards any longer', and requested that they be replaced.Kges1901 (talk) 02:44, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Vandalism Accusation Interpro Stradalli Cycling team

I think you are incorrect saying my changes on that page were vandalism and reverting it. I did fail to update the date accessed for the source at the bottom of the page but if you had chosen to do so you might have learned that the changes made reflected that the team changed its name and changed its roster which were the same changes I made. I feel that when you take the step to accuse someone of vandalism you should try and get that right. I apologize for not updating the source access date to reflect that but you might have gone a tad too far. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shermanm365 (talk • contribs) 00:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Claim that my edit was disruptive

I disagree that my edit to the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center page was disruptive. I added examples of the aversive used and had a citation. It is not vandalization when sourced and posted in good faith. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cpotisch (talk • contribs) 16:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

First, you replaced 'The' with 'IopThe' on the top line, wich IS disruptive, and second, the content you added lower was not sourced. L293D (✉) 16:29, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

well; you made a mistake

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Well, I think you did make a mistake, concerning your revert of my edits in Murder (German law), which were quite constructive. For one, the article had previously left out the systematically rather important battery-with-deadly-outcome. For another, it had said that it's not a with-deadly-outcome crime if there was murderous intent, which simply is not true (and which would mean that a pirate [for non-greedy reasons] who unintentionally kills would get at least ten years, while a pirate who intentionally kills without fulfilling one of the aggravating circumstances of Mord could theoretically get off with five.--131.159.76.38 (talk) 18:06, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Buddy Roemer edits

The two additions were constructive. The first was about very effective TV ads by Roemer. The second gave context as to another reason why Edwards left the race. At the time, it was discussed more than the point already made in the article, that Edwards dropped out to deny Roemer the chance to build a coalition.

Reverting just one of multiple vandalism edits

Hi! Thanks for your anti-vandalism efforts. Just letting you know that on the HTTPS Everywhere page, you reverted just one of two vandalism edits. This is dangerous because it leaves other watchers with the impression that the vandalism has been dealt with and thus evades detection. I've seen such lingering vandalism persist for years. In this case thankfully it was caught by an IP editor. -- intgr [talk] 22:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
