sayed dynasty -dehli sutanate.

Hi I really need your help. I have been trying to improve and do the obvious thing editing sayed dynasty page for weeks, but this user is preventing me. I presented him all sources primary and secondary but he refuses to cooperate. All i am saying is the mention of afghan in origins where it is obvious. I think he is using his wiki position dis honestly. I tried to talk with him in talk page but he is simply not listening. I ask you to see sayed dynasty page, edit history and talk page, and then decide what to be done ,thank you84.211.44.191 (talk) 22:43, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

Dispute to my recent edit for Augustana...

Hi there. I tried to make an accuracy edit on a band page for Augustana, and you responded with: "I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Augustana (band)—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you.

The edit I made was not for promotional means. It was fact. The current URL on the Augustana Wikipedia page is listed as www.augustanamusic.com, which actually takes the viewer to https://www.danlayus.com/, which is a real estate page. This is clearly not the band's website. The lead singer, Daniel Layus, who is also on Wikipedia, is clearly stated as the lead, and solo, singer of the band Augustana: [[1]]. His website listed for his music is https://danlayusmusic.com/, which is correct.

So my original edit had nothing to do with beingi promotional or using Wikipedia as a soapbox. It had only to do with aligning one Wikipedia accuracy to another that it was linked to. Can you please re-do my edit? Or let me know how it actually violates any rule.

Hi Hpnashville, I think I left you the message accidentally as I didn't actually revert the change you made. Sorry for the confusion. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Didn't realize I wasn't signed in. And uh, no I am not a "vandal", just the guy updating 2020 Census info to NH State Senate districts ahead of redistricting. My sources just weren't saving for whatever reason. No cause for alarm. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrannyDsRevenge (talk • contribs) 03:00, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

• As an IP you didn't bother adding a new source, just changing data and removing the previous. As a registered account, this is the source you've been providing [2]. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 03:02, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

• • @GrannyDsRevenge: When you make a change to an article you need to include a source to support the change. In some of the edits you were simply changing the data and removing the old source. You need to cite the new source when you make the change. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:49, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Golden Rice Article Editing

Hi, I made the changes based on the requirements of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). It is important to deliver them the content as instructed. Proper citations was given and the contents were original. I request you to let me keep the article as given by the IRRI. If you feel necessary, I can provide the contract paper also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nrezoan (talk • contribs) 07:58, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Nrezoan, the content you added has been removed because it is not relevant to the article you're adding it to. Based on your comment above I now believe that you might be engaging in paid editing. I've left a message about that and edit warring on your talk page. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:05, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Full-protection at 2024 United States presidential election

Hi, I'm kinda confused as to your rationale for fully protecting 2024 United States presidential election. Thomascampbell123 removed some state polls to move them to individual state articles (such as 2024 United States presidential election in Florida. Admittedly, they did not indicate where they moved the polls in their edit summary. Sthubertliege undid this, seemingly due to not knowing where the polls went. They then self-reverted, considering moving the polls to a different article.

I fail to see how in any way this is a content dispute worthy of full protection. This could've easily been resolved on the article's talk-page - I don't even see a dispute here, just a misunderstanding. Elli (talk | contribs) 14:19, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I moved those polls to the state presidential election articles. Thomascampbell123 (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

I've reverted it back to semi since it appears that the issue is resolved. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Changes to Jonathan Crombie article

Hiya! I'd like to discuss the Personal Life section of the Jonathan Crombie article and the temporary lock that's been put on the article.

From what I understand, footnote 12, which was cited for the sentence, "Crombie never married and had no children," was expanded by a user the other day to include a quote from Crombie's sister confirming that Crombie was gay but did not come out until his 40s. The headline of the article cited in footnote 12 reads, "Jonathan Crombie Was Gay Says Sister Robin. Posted on 7 July, 2015" and links to https://web.archive.org/web/20180414014250/http://eatbloganddie.tumblr.com/post/123474812185/jonathan-crombie-was-gay-says-sister-robin.

Earlier today, you protected this article for "Violations of the biographies of living persons policy" and changed protection status on the page for "Addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content."

Could you help me understand how these changes represent "violations of the biographies of living persons policy" when Jonathan Crombie has been deceased for six years? And was the change for "addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content" related to the edit that simply reiterated the headline of the linked source?

If the fact that the cited source is an archived Tumblr post, and doesn't pass a quality standard, I'd like to propose citing this source, a 2015 tweet by Steve Paikin, instead: https://twitter.com/spaikin/status/610232878216159232

My understanding is that these changes were meant to improve the quality of this section of the article, which before the edit, represented the He never married journalistic trope that has erased public figures' homosexual identities for decades.

Thank you!

Wonderlode (talk) 18:47, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Wonderlode I've removed the semi protection and the 'quote' from the subject's sister as it's from a self-published source as you indicated. The Tweet you referred to is also not a reliable source for this content for the same reason. If it was from his sister herself there'd be a stronger reliability argument in favour of allowing it but a hearsay quote is not sufficient. I've removed the semi protection but unless there is a reliable source that can be provided it shouldn't be added to the article (nor should anything that suggests Crombie's sister says he's gay since we don't have a reliable source for that either. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:21, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Callanecc Thank you for explaining. It's obviously disappointing to those of us who looked up to Jonathan as a queer mentor later in his life, to see that part of his life erased here, but I also understand the need for a rigorous citation. · Wonderlode (talk) 17:44, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

With respect, journalist-of-record Steve Paikin livetweeting a memorial isn't the same as "just a tweet". I'd suggest a journalist described as "the Queen's Park journalist with the most Twitter influence" is arguably reliable on his Twitter feed. Tweeting bullshit would be no less damaging to his career than saying it on-air and being forced to retract. 

Also, WP:BLP is hardly relevant to someone who died 6 years ago. — OwenBlacker (he/him; Talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 18:13, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Re BLP, that's why I changed the reason, I hit the wrong button. There's probably enough scope in WP:SPS and at WP:RSPTWITTER (for the reason you said) to have a discussion about it in this specific situation, the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard is probably the best place.

Golden rice page editing

Hello, I have added my employer and client information on my user page, as you mentioned. Please let me know if I need to do something more before further editing on the "Golden rice" page.

Firstly, when you post on talk pages you should 'sign' your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) after your post that will put in your username and the date and time.

Regarding the edits you want to add, as you have a conflict of interest you need to follow the conflict of interest guideline which states that those with a conflict of interest, including paid editors, are very strongly discouraged from directly editing affected articles, but should post content proposals on the talk pages of existing articles. Given that your edits to the page have been reverted as they are believed to be irrelevant advertising you should not add the content to that Wikipedia article and it's unlikely that others will add it for you.

Augustus

On the wikipedia page of Augustus, the first Emperor of Rome, it says that he was born on 23 Sept 63 B.C. and died on 19 Aug 14 A.D. It also says that he was aged 75 at the time of his death. He was 76. Please can you change that or find someone to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hfw420 (talk • contribs) 06:01, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

Warnings issued on my account.

Good day! My account has been warned by you that I shouldn't violate Wikipedia's neutrality, and introduced unsourced or poorly-sourced content. I would like an explanation on how my revisions were such in any manner. I would like to think that "Is terrorist" is more biased then "Is accused of being terrorist".
