Moncton article

Regarding your reverting my most recent edit to the Moncton article. The Dumont Hospital is operated by the Vitalite Health Authority which does operate in French (providing bilingual service), the Moncton Hospital is operated by the Horizon Health Authority, whose working language is English (but providing bilingual service). However, I will defer to your opinion in this regard. Moncton Hospital in the article. It was formerly included in the article, but was removed by someone. The Moncton Hospital is the larger and busier of the two hospitals in Moncton so I think the picture belongs there. I hope this is acceptable. MonctonRad (talk) 13:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

@MonctonRad: In fact, you reverted my entire edit and added back the unsourced content. I checked the websites for both hospitals, and this one says nothing about being English-only. Also, please add new comments to a talk page at the bottom. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:53, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

@Magnolia677 - please refer to the document in this link http://laws.gnb.ca/en/showpdf/cs/2011-c.217.pdf. It is quite lengthy, but section 19(1) clearly states Regional Health Authority A/Régie régionale de la santé A shall operate in French and Regional Health Authority B/Régie régionale de la santé B shall operate in English." Authority "A" is now known as Vitalite and Authority "B" is now known as "Horizon" MonctonRad (talk) 00:11, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Place title here

Hi most of the edits I considered minor. Some re-organizing of the flow of the content, new headings, spelling corrections.

Can you identify the specific entries that concern you so I can comply? Should I reference the Yamhelas, Sarah Hall Ladd, information even though they have wiki entries? I can cite the City's website for the councilors I added. Anything else? Thanks for your help

Regarding Carlton, Oregon, if you look at what I deleted you will see that much of what was added was unsourced (or unsourced was moved and re-written). In general, when you discuss information found in another Wikipedia article, you should add a source. I've added a welcome message to your talk page which has many helpful links. Feel free to ask if you have questions.Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

User:Agentcru

Hi Magnolia, I made some comments that you left on my talk page - can you please check those out? Is there a better workflow for these discussions then for me to notify you on your page? Agentcru (talk) 00:12, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Spartansburg History

I am a native of Spartansburg along with the other user CaSitterly, but I have to say that history of communities defines their personality. What do you have against my info I added years ago? History is what gives towns . When most people drive from Meadville towards Corry via Route 77 the signs show Spartansburg. The story of Spartansburg must be shared. Back when I first edited and added that history section I didn't learn coding, now I do know. Please allow the History section back. I know that you may not care about us, but consider an offer just assist with sourcing. That's all I'm asking for, please allow me to add my knowledge from the book oz. History of Crawford County, that is my number one source for all lesser known Communities. With Desperation, Joshua J Long aka Largo96 Largo96 (talk) 16:13, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Unsourced Edits

I saw that you undid many of my edits as unsourced. Though I started editing wikipedia several years ago, I stopped for several years, and just got back into helping out. I re-read the documents, but am still a bit unsure - do you mind posting a good link about how often to source? Thanks in advance, sengbe7 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sengbe7 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 20 August 2018 (UTC) I just saw your comment to another reader about the Help Referencing for Beginners. I am going to go through that first. Thanks! Sengbe7 (talk) 22:05, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Magnolia, I noticed that you have reverted the edit on Lil Durk’s wiki but he is signed to Alamo & Interscope Records now. He just released a single under them called Spin The Block Jevon Tompkins (talk) 02:45, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

There is Only one Spartansburg in the USA

The Information you shared I find conflicted is that there's only one Spartansburg. Could you just allow some flexibility? If you insist upon removing "outsource" input I won't back down all I ask just add references, please allow me to have my right to add history of Spartansburg. I support myself and CaSitterly user. Largo96 (talk) 16:43, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@Largo96: Thanks for writing. Spartansburg sounds like a lovely place. I looked back on what I removed and it was mostly unsourced stuff about the town, but it looks like it would be pretty easy to source. Let me look around and see if I can dig up some sources for the edits. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:22, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Am I alone in detecting the scent of foot odor? John from Idegon (talk) 21:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: I does look like a lovely place. There is a little pond with a beach in the middle of the town, and it's right on the edge of the Allegheny National Forest. I love researching these little towns, though my time it limited these days. On another note, I was going to add a "did you know" to the list at WP:WPSCH (see Talk:St. Johns, Ontario), but realized the article isn't about a school. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 08:49, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Ah...yes. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:11, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Mumble rap

Did you know.... mumble rap is another way to SoundCloud rap. And it is not unsourced, look here .~SML • TP 14:40, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

@Sixty Minute Limit: Thank you for writing. I reverted your edits because you are using circular sourcing. You added the category "mumble rap" to biographical articles, even though "mumble rap" is not mentioned in the article. To support your edit, you state that "mumble rap is another way to SoundCloud rap". According to who? Some Wikipedia article? Have a look at the discussion at Talk:Mumble rap. Merging that article with "SoundCloud rap" was like pulling a tooth. If you intend on adding a category to an article, please be sure the category is mentioned in the article, with a reliable source. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Selma NC logo

Please note that the Town of Selma NC adopted a new logo and motto in their Aug 14, 2018 session: https://selma.civicweb.net/Portal/MeetingInformation.aspx?Org=Cal&Id=125. Please do not revert. Thank you! Ricks99 (talk) 19:44, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

@Ricks99: I can see you are making good faith edits to many articles, but I have been reverting them like a lumberjack with a sharp ax. It's very important you take some time to read Help:Referencing for beginners. Otherwise you will be wasting a lot of time. If you need help just ask. Thanks.

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

Hi Magnolia677,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join the new page reviewing team, and after reviewing your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 07:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

What is Canadian

Please discuss.

American Slave Owner categories

Every edit you have reverted is sourced in the article itself. No need for the block warnings - there were no violations. READ the articles.LumaNatic (talk) 13:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Luke Rockhold

The main bio says record from Sherdog.com. Every fighters record has no extra link diaplayed. I placed both of the references at the bottom. Toeknee44 (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

@Toeknee44: The addition of the template seems to have been reverted by two editors now. It looks like a useful template, unfortunately it was created without a column to add sources. Perhaps it can be fixed. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:37, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

The first editor who reverted it never cited sources. Toeknee44 (talk) 15:38, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

@Toeknee44: Again, it's a useful template. Perhaps you can source the entire template and re-add it to the article. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

If it's a useful template then I don't understand why you're bringing up that it was reverted by two editors. The first editor, CASSIOPEIA, didn't state the sources were the issue. They stated it wasn't constructive although it's the base template that every fighter has. I'm happy to add the sources and if the first editor stated that was their issue I would've immediately done so. Toeknee44 (talk) 16:00, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Daniel Parke

The sourcing for the Category:American slave owners is sourced in the body of the article, particularly under "Governorship:" "A list of grievances was compiled against Parke, including complaints against his personal conduct as well as allegations that he had enriched himself by seizing vessels, concealing wills to buy up supposedly intestate estates, and pressuring others not to contest his bids for lands, slaves, and cattle."LumaNatic (talk) 20:56, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

@LumaNatic: The section in the Daniel Parke article you are referring to is essentially unsourced (there is one large source at the end of the article), and only mentions allegations about his bids for slaves. Concluding from this that he was a "slave owner" is sloppy. Please stop edit warring and find a source to support your edit. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

About the Glendale article

Might I remind you that I did check for sources in the article. Any article of a person that was born, grew up, or lived in Glendale was either listed as such, or, if it wasn't, I cited it with the corresponding sources. Which explains what may seem like a lack of citations.

Of course, these are just my two cents. If you wish to leave the article as such regardless I won't mind. GoAnimateFan199Pro (talk) 14:21, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

@GoAnimateFan199Pro: Thank you for writing. What you describe is called "circular sourcing". I reverted your edit after seeing you had removed the six year-old "unsourced" tag from the section, and Emilio Delgado, Mike Mazurki, Ross O'Donovan, Melissa Pastore, Lupe Vélez and others... were still listed as notable people. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:38, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

@Magnolia677: I see, thank you for clarifying. I might reconsider my edit and improve on it further in the following weeks, so that it abides by the WP:CIRC policy you linked to me. Again, thanks for clarifying. GoAnimateFan199Pro (talk) 23:16, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

your comment on my talk page

can you be specific ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.30.252 (talk) 23:21, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

@97.127.30.252: All your edits are unsourced. I see you've reverted them all too. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:45, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Edition in Kentucky

Why did you reverse my edition in Kentucky? The pages of all states have that information, why cannot the kentucky page have it? Allice Hunter (talk) 21:07, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

@Allice Hunter: My error in citing WP:USCITIES, but why are you getting demographic data for a US state from the Kaiser Family Foundation website? Why don't you use the US Census?

Because the same reference is used on the other states' page (for example: New York, Wisconsin, etc...), I just copied from there, if it is wrong then we should remove it from all pages! Allice Hunter (talk) 21:48, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

@Allice Hunter: I cited WP:USCITIES in my edit summary without realizing I was editing a state, but at WP:USCITIES there was a consensus to use US Census data for demographic information: "The US Census should be the primary source of demographic data. If census estimates or other reliable sources of demographic data are included, the additional data should supplement – not replace – the most recent available data from the decennial census". I haven't looked for a similar consensus regarding US states, but the US Census would probably be a more reliable source. Sometimes stuff just gets done a certain way until someone questions it (two editors now). Regarding that...when I have spare time (which lately is never) I look for Wiki articles that use the phrase "first opened its doors", and I remove the "its doors". There are literally thousands of articles that use this idiom. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 22:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Lil Durk

Magnolia, I noticed that you have reverted the edit on Lil Durk’s wiki but he is signed to Alamo & Interscope Records now. He just released a single under them called Spin The Block. Jevon Tompkins (talk) 02:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

Question

Do you have any notion where I might find guidence on where to point the geocoordinates for a US county? Particularly, Porter County, Indiana. Right now, they point to a location in Lake Michigan that appears to actually be in Illinois. It extends roughly 25 miles south of Lake Michigan, and the county seat is on the west edge of the county about 10 miles from the lake. It's a bit over a minute NS by about 30 seconds EW. Center it? The county seat doesn't seem to be a good choice. John from Idegon (talk) 02:58, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: Good question. The county GIS doesn't help. Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. counties doesn't specify either. While GNIS lists several coordinates for the county, if you click on "USGS The National Map" (right corner) it centers on this location. I used GeoLocator to capture the coordinates, and got 41.508838°N 87.073319°W / 41.508838; -87.073319. Probably not how it's supposed to be done though. Cheers!

6ix9ine edit

Good lord, get a grip on yourself and calm down with the threats. It has already been officially announced who that 6ix9ine single is with. Oddly, you aren't demanding sources on every other single on there. Get to work on fixing all those! Udar55 (talk) 02:27, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

@Udar55: Thank you for writing. One of the cornerstones of Wikipedia is that personal experience and original research are not permitted. Except for "the sky is blue" examples, adding information without the support of a source makes Wikipedia less reliable to its readers, and undermines the hard work of other editors. I see you've been cautioned numerous times about this already. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:28, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

RMA

Please email info@riversidemilitary.biz with your contact information. The school would like to know your identity and why you are taking it upon yourself to edit the school's page.You are removing legitimate edits unilaterally without permission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:64B0:5E40:31B2:D7CB:2258:7DAA (talk) 18:18, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

That's funny. I stubbed the article as a totally unsourced puff piece on the school. I started working thru the alumni list and the only one I found that had a reliable source reference to attendance was Pres. Carter's dad. Unfortunately I lost my work on the alumni and don't have time now to go back. I also noticed the vast majority of those I looked at were only marginally notable. I'll look for NCES data next, but is there a chance you'd run the alumni? Also, the descriptions need to be edited substantially on any we keep. Grad dates are not endorsed by guidelines, nor is any CV info. Wikilinks and primary notability only. And no Anon editor, you are not getting any contact info about either me or Magnolia, although I'm curious as to why you want it. John from Idegon (talk) 20:40, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: That Wiki article looked like a second school webpage. Thanks for the cleanup. I couldn't help peeking at campus on satellite and street view, and the grounds are spectacular, set back from the Chattahoochee River in the middle of cottage country. Sweet.
