Reversions, Saint Ann's School

Hello, I'm writing to you regarding various changes I made to the wikipedia page for Saint Ann's School (New York City), on the basis that my edits "did not appear constructive." However, I can't help but disagree -- many of the changes I made added numerous notable graduates of Saint Ann's School, who have Wikipedia pages themselves, and I don't understand why those edits are not constructive. I respect your decision to revert changes that were unsourced; however, many edits I made that WERE sourced were reverted, which frankly, I find to be unreasonable. Second, I'd like to point out that if you're going to hold this particular Wikipedia page to a certain level of standards in terms of sourcing, I'd suggest you apply similar guidelines to other pages, which is not, at the moment, the case. Consider the Ethical Culture Fieldston School's page, another New York City private school, in which a vast majority of those listed as "notable alumni" are unsourced. Thank you -- I appreciate it!

First, the school wikilink you provided was incorrect, and so misdirected readers; I have corrected this. Second, I concur with M moreno's edits (reversions): You provide no sources for your edits. (Wikilinks are not sources, see WP:VERIFY.) If you enter names with published articles indicating that an individual is an alum of this school, then experienced editors here will not revert you. Add content without, editors should, and will. The fact that many articles are worse is immaterial; it is no one editors to maintain quality at all articles, and not doing so cannot be a criticism of an effort to maintain compliance with WP:VERIFY at this one. 73.211.138.148 (talk) 05:42, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tmnh07. Thanks for your comments. I do hundreds of edits per day, and I do admit that I make errors. I have double checked the reversions, and it appears I might have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Yes there are people which should be added, but there are also people who are either unsourced or do not have a Wikipedia article. To be notable, they need at least a Wikipedia article. I apologise for any inconvenience. I would recommend that you make small edits, a bit at a time, which gives other editors time to verify and then if a revert is required, only a small amount is reverted. Keep up the good work.

Am I reverted just because IP

Why was I reverted at the Eckler major edit—all edits had clear edit summaries, and all the citations were improved to template and complete status. Was it just that I was editing from IP address? Note, in reverting these clear, good edits, you returned the word "infancy" to the lede, which was clearly a misspelling. What was the point? 73.211.138.148 (talk) 05:32, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi IP. Thanks for your comments. I have reviewed the reversion and I can't see why I reverted. I use a tool called Huggle and I might have simply pressed the wrong button. It certainly wasn't because you are an IP. My reversion was reverted shortly afterwards so it's rather moot anyway. Sorry for the inconvenience. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

reliable resources a first time wiki editing

Need help I just started editing wiki first time. And I've received a message about "reliable resources." I hope I've added reliable resources as it explained, and deleted notification. Please let me know, if I did it right. If I didn't, please help me how to do it right. Thank you. Muso1student (talk) 08:34, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso1student. I've removed all the unreferenced info. If you want to add a date of birth for example, you will need to provide a reliable source that actually gives his birthdate. If he has published a book, it will have an ISBN, etc, etc. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. Cheers. David.moreno72 (talk) 09:13, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fast response. Do you consider as "reliable source" as Japanese Wikipedia? If so, please refer it. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%B0%E5%9E%A3%E6%B8%85 Thank you. Muso1student (talk) 10:27, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso1student. Per WP:WINARS, the answer is no. Cheers. David.moreno72 (talk) 10:34, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So, does wiki need reference/resource in every detail? Does books prove his existence and other information? Thank you for your help. Muso1student (talk) 10:48, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just provide reliable sources. If he has a book published it will have an ISBN. If there is no ISBN then it shouldn't be added. David.moreno72 (talk) 10:54, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How about his direct words? Does wiki accept them? Thank you for your help. Muso1student (talk) 11:50, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso1student. Sure, if they have been published in a reliable source. If you can link to them that would be great. Cheers David.moreno72 (talk) 11:52, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick response. So, if I edit his profile in wiki and attach a reference, that is OK then? When I edited first time, I put his profile from his book. At that point, I didn't understand wiki system of editing. Sorry about that. So, I can put back his profile in wiki and put that recourse info, right? Thank you. Muso1student (talk) 12:04, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Muso1student. That should be OK. Cheers David.moreno72 (talk) 12:32, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help

Thank you for your help. Appreciated. Muso1student (talk) 12:48, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disha Patani DOB

Hi David,

Disha Patani participated in Miss Indore 2013 contest where every contestant has to reveal their age. She turned 20 in 2012. Her official facebook page has a video of HERSELF on her Birthday thanking fans (13 June, 2016). https://www.facebook.com/DishaToabh/videos/604453726391043/

This is her video where she won Pantaloon Fresh Face in 2012 and she HERSELF confirms she is from Bareilly and a student of BTech in Lucknow University - 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1iQ2o1ilk8

What more can be reliable than the actor herself confirming details in videos? She made a special video to thank fans on her birthday and her fans know 13 June is her birthday. Her d.ob is 100% confirmed as 13 June, 1992.

As for birth year, I dont why her fans on wikipedia are ashamed of revealing it but here is the video from 2012 where she was the first runner up confirming her as 19 and she turned 20 the same year. All her interviews given since 2012, confirm her birth year as 1992.

If there is still hesitation, she can be contacted on her official facebook page to confirm 1992 as her birth year. It was visible for a long time till Dec 2015 when her birth year started going missing. I don't understand the references used are also from internet pages then why are these not considered valid? References calling her "Tiger Shroff's girlfriend" are not reliable as Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani have NEVER confirmed their relationship. These need to be removed if internet pages are unreliable! "MS Dhoni - The Untold Story: Tiger Shroff's girlfriend Disha Patani bags a role in the biopic". indiatoday.com. 6 January 2016.
