The feedback request service is asking for participation in this request for comment on Talk:Political views of American academics. Legobot (talk) 04:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Huawei edit

I am not sure how you came to the conclusion that my edit was not constructive. Information posted should survive the test of rigorous validation. Otherwise it is just hear say. The reference sources are newspapers which lack academic credence and are usually bias without references made to validate their claims. You are more than welcome to perpetuate lazy internet content. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.218.76 (talk) 12:47, 10 August 2018‎ {UTC)

Ok, so by that you mean Reuters, Yahoo News, Telegraph, The Guardian, NY Times, and The Verge are all unreliable and "lack academic credence"? And that it's you that I should believe over all those news outlets when you say [they] are usually bias without references made to validate their claims? Yeah, I'll just keep on perpetuat[ing] lazy internet content then I guess. Thanks. -- ChamithN (talk) 12:55, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I'd like to know more about the version of the test of rigorous validation you employed when you discredited all the those media. -- ChamithN (talk) 12:59, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Elon Musk is a business magnet, not magnate.

Elon Musk has explicitly stated that he is a "business magnet", not a "business magnate". See his tweet here: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1037976743963840512

During the full interview, he was quite clear that he doesn't consider himself a "business magnate" and that he wants his Wikipedia page changed to reach "business magnet" instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtOfWarfare (talkcontribs) 16:58, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed on Talk:Elon Musk. So, I am not going to waste my time and clarify it further here. You can refer to WP:BLPSELFPUB. -- ChamithN (talk) 18:23, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I´m sorry

It's alright. It takes time to get used to multitude of policies Wikipedia has in place. Make sure to read up on WP:ELNO before you go ahead and add more external links. -- ChamithN (talk) 15:48, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
