joseph mccarthy was disgraced, this is a fact that no one disputes
my edit was perfectly constructive. Everyone knows mccarthy was disgraced and was a disgrace. His own descendants certainly know it. He died a disgraced person. The article itself includes a dozen examples of his disgraceful conduct, and the Senate vote to censure is further evidence that this was the consensus opinion. mccarthy's disgrace is the lede headline of his life. Before his death, mccarthy himself knew he was a disgrace. he expressed his self-hatred through alcoholism and substance abuse. Ultimately, his own disgrace is, in effect, what killed him. An intro that misses this explicit point is itself unconstructive. 73.72.206.144 (talk) 19:26, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Battle of Byshek
Hello! You asked me for more quotes for the battle of Byshek. I gave 4 visible sources, I think they will be sufficient, why do you think they are inadequate or what else do you want? If these do not satisfy you, I can collect more resources. Thank you for your edits and contributions to the page. Keremmaarda (talk) 19:15, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi. The article is cited, but per Wikipedia:Notability, you need multiple independent sources for verifiability. Around 10 would suffice IMO. More citations from reliable sources can help your cause. Also, kindly keep in mind the paraphrasing. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 05:02, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

- I believe you. But here in Wikipedia, you cannot put your own views which are not backed up by reliable sources. You must provide citations to validate your claims and should not remove already well referenced sections from an article. Thank you and happy editing.

Please do not undo my work on blowjob
hey, you just reverted my edit to blowjob. At the moment it just directs to fellatio a slang definition. It should have its own page as the origins of the word blowjob dating to the 1950's or earlier are very different to the latin for fellatio.
There are many supporting references and my edits are just a start. Please do not block me for vandalism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.168.185.43 (talk) 17:02, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
- Kindly consider WP:AFC for the creation of new article. Currently, replacing the redirect page with content that is not properly cited constitute as vandalism. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:17, 8 October 2023 (UTC)

On 9 October 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Kelvin Kiptum, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 03:55, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
Ayodhya dispute
There are some {{convert}} errors at Ayodhya dispute due to your recent script-assisted edits. Please check what you intended and fix where the wikitext refers to $2 and $3 and possibly other problems. Johnuniq (talk) 00:00, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, sure thing. Thanks a lot. Looks like the script is doing it a lot now. I'm cross check my edits once again. Thank you. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 09:49, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Question about notability and draft page rejection
Hi there, I was hoping you would help me out by sharing your specific concern/s with this draft article you declined recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Decriminalize_Sex_Work It's only the second page I've created, so I would really appreciate your help as I improve my Wikipedia skillset. I figured since the subject was referenced recently in the Washington Post as well as half a dozen other publications including the NYT over a 4 year period, that it was notable enough for a page. I've read the full Wiki:Notability page and my best guess is that maybe one of the major publications needs to be specifically 'about' the subject rather than just using the subject as a source and explaining what its mission is. If that is the case then I guess I just have to wait until that happens, but if the concern is something else, I'd hate to just wait around when I could actually improve the page and fix the issue. For example, if the problem is that there are not enough citations, then I could easily dig up another dozen articles to include, but nothing like the NYT of course. In any case, thank you in advance for any additional details you can offer about your concerns. Best - Chaotikgood (talk) 00:33, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
- User:The Herald/AfC Essentialities might throw some light on the reasons for declining the draft. If you could add more reliable independent citations, then it might come under mainspace worthy draft and then you can resubmit it. Also give WP:MOS a go to see the manual of style we use here. Thanks and happy editing. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 12:59, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
