By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Accuracy
You provided the source, but you apparently didn’t look at it very closely. Accuracy next time. See discussion --Avoinlähde (talk) 20:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- There's no need to repeat things on my user talk. Keep it on the article talk where it belongs. MrOllie (talk) 20:23, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
Solitaire card games
To respect your preference to keep discussions unfragmented, I've responded to your comments about solitaire card games on my talk page. Gregorytopov (talk) 00:36, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- See further interaction on this issue on my Talk page from Bermicourt, whom I didn't invite to comment, yet has expressed similar concerns as mine, and an additional point for your consideration. Gregorytopov (talk) 09:10, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
Artificial Nails
Hello, I added to an article about artificial nails, discussing another type of artificial nails for an academic project. I provided reliable sources, and with my mother being a licensed nail technician, I made sure to have her read through it to make sure all of the information was correct. Please refrain from taking this down at least for the next week as this happens to be an assignment for one of my college courses. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brooke.domingues (talk • contribs) 01:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has minimum sourcing standards, which you can find at WP:RS. The citations you are using do not even come close to meeting them - they are not reliable as you claim. Since you are making claims about health, WP:MEDRS also applies, and those standards are quite stringent - peer-reviewed medical journals and the like, not websites of nail salons or popular magazines. If your professor has assigned you an assignment that requires you to edit war to keep something in an article they are the one who is on the wrong - please point them to Wikipedia:Education_program/Educators - MrOllie (talk) 01:31, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Understandable, please allow it to be up for about 2 weeks and I will take it down. It is all accurate and not opinionated. Brooke.domingues (talk) 01:37, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- No, we can't leave up badly sourced content, that violates one of Wikipedia's core policies. Especially not the borderline advertising that you're putting up. MrOllie (talk) 01:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- If I change the sources, will you leave it up? Brooke.domingues (talk) 01:48, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think there's any combination of available sources or any way you could write a section like that about a single company's product and have it be appropriate for a Wikipedia article. MrOllie (talk) 01:51, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- The negativity you are having towards my possible improvements are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. I am genuinely trying to improve this so that it can be left up. I am asking if you are going to continue to spam taking it down if I improve it, I was not asking for what you think my writing skills can or cannot do. Brooke.domingues (talk) 01:57, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- The problem is I don't think your addition is an improvement. And I won't have to 'spam taking it down' (I'm not the only person who has reverted you, by the way) because if you keep on as you have been your account will almost certainly be blocked. MrOllie (talk) 01:57, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- I am not sure if you are familiar with artificial nails, as your name is Mr. Ollie, but those methods listed are out of date. Therefore, I added one of the most commonly used methods of today. How is adding a new modern method not an improvement? Brooke.domingues (talk) 02:00, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- I am not meaning this in any disrespect, just want to make a post that can stay up and wondering how you specifically will let me do that? Brooke.domingues (talk) 02:02, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia isn't for advertising, so no, adding a section about a specific brand and cut and pasting in promotional statements such as "world's first dip powder nails system to give women a healthier alternative to traditional manicure methods" is not an improvement. It runs directly counter to what the Wikipedia project is trying to accomplish. Your other problem is the citation links to resellers and vendors - these are clearly unreliable. If you want to start over and write something that meets our standards, take a look at the 'health risks' section, which cites things like peer-reviewed journals, NIOSH, the USDA, and so on. Do a literature search on MEDLINE and come up with something to add based on what you find in the sources - not whatever turns up on google. If you have further questions about how to write on Wikipedia in general, WP:TEAHOUSE is the place to ask. MrOllie (talk) 02:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Indiegogo
My opinion related to Indigoego is factual. I feel it’s fair to state the fraud and scams that have been allowed by Indiegogo in addition to the successful projects listed on the Wikipedia page. Consumers should be able to read the negative as well as the positive. Investing in Indiegogo can lead to a loss. I would like to repost with less passion regarding this company. Many have been hurt by them. 76.238.230.181 (talk) 12:34, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
Consensus
Do not make me fool with your company. I think my text is "You need consensus". --5.43.84.70 (talk) 18:34, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
