Green River, Utah

Hi there, I reverted your edit in the Popular Culture section of Green River, Utah. The Monkey Wrench Gang is a very famous work of fiction. You can find it in any major bookstore nationwide, even after being published almost 50 years ago. It is therefore notable and meets wikipedia's requirements. I agree with your removal of the other parts of the section. Have a good day.

Mall images

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ArticleDiscoveries1934 - seems that the person commenting on the mall gallery, the person reinstating the mall gallery, and the person(s) adding images to the mall gallery are all the same person. Or at least that's what I'm alleging. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:12, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

@10mmsocket: Good eye. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 08:33, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

@Magnolia677 @10mmsocket Hello there, but why did all of brought me to sock puppet investigations? Other editors are completely different people and I never did anything terrible or poor to this article, so I do not deserve a check on that. NorthernBladeLights9 (talk) 18:07, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Go read WP:DUCKTEST. I see your post above, and your other protests, but all I hear is "quack, quack, quack, quack..." Wasting good, well-intentioned people's time like this is lame and disrespectful. 10mmsocket (talk) 19:58, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Rockingham, North Carolina

Your recent edit to Rockingham, North Carolina re-introduced a link to the John Hutchinson disambiguation page, which doesn't help the reader as there is no other article that mentions the mayor. The reference that I added to Rockingham, North Carolina was to give proof of his relationship to the town, since there's no article on him and no other mention of him in the Rockingham article. If you wish to include him in the article, perhaps it would be better to use the title John Hutchinson (politician). Leschnei (talk) 23:30, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

@Leschnei: I fixed that less then two minutes later. He was removed from the list of notable people because he does not meet the criteria for inclusion, per WP:USCITIES#Notable people. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:12, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Magnolia677

Saratoga Springs, New York

Hello Magnolia, hope all is well with you. I think Saratoga Springs, New York could use an extra pair of eyes. I've cleaned up some of the promo puffery advertorial content and there may be a COI involved. Netherzone (talk) 00:37, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

@Netherzone: Hi there. Which particular section? The "in popular culture" is enormous. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:52, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the Economics section, and a some clean up of the Gov't, Parks & recreation, Thoroughbred racing, Arts & Culture and History, but there is more to do. If you want to tackle In Popular culture, that would be excellent. Thank you in advance! Netherzone (talk) 15:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

June 2023

Hello, I'm 2600:1009:B004:7211:0:B:5E7B:E01. I noticed that you recently removed content from Dorian Rhea Debussy without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Selected publications Title, topic, and publisher indicate the forthcoming work meetings wiki’s standards; no worries but please review policy on forthcoming publications before future edit here. Re-added book chapter to the list per note on edit. 2600:1009:B004:7211:0:B:5E7B:E01 (talk) 02:16, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

me angry

After all these years I wanna know, why do you keep reverting and removing my article edits ? do you specifically hate me ? Or is it that you are pro-American and hate anybody that tries to correct yours and others' pro-American Wiki articles to reflect the Factual Canadian aspects involved. Today's example - "Augustus Jones (c. 1757 – November 16, 1836) was an American-born Upper Canadian farmer..." -- American born implies born in the U.S. which in 1757 is emphatically impossible, because the U.S. DID NOT EXIST IN 1757 ! I could have changed it to "Canadian" because Canada was noted on maps as existing at the time of his birth. but in deference to factual accuracy, I changed it to say "North American". I see that you received quite a few awards for writing and contributing to the "10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada." I shudder trying to imagine the shear amount of incorrect "Canada" things you contributed. DO NOT REVERT MY AUGUSTUS EDIT, NOR ANY OTHER CANADIAN EDIT BY ME EVER AGAIN.

Stevehartwell (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

@Stevehartwell: You're madder than a mosquito in a mannequin factory. I've never edited Augustus Jones. Look at the edit history. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

I believe the editor is referring to something that happened in 2018. Take a look at their Talk page - you'll also see my warning.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:10, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

High Point

Remember that you're at 3RR now. I've left a note for the other editor, so they are appropriately warned if they revert again. Acroterion (talk) 22:26, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

@Acroterion: I removed unsourced content. I'm not sure how to have a discussion about original research falsely cited to a source. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:42, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Just keep in mind that it's not an exemption to 3RR. That doesn't mean it can't be reported as disruptive editing, or referred to AN3. Acroterion (talk) 00:44, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Tactics to change title at article:Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory

It makes it very difficult to WP:AGF with editors that have been around a long time but seemingly make questionable claims in their edit summaries. This seems very questionable. I would prefer to discuss it here rather than the article page because it is off topic from discussing the actual article. DN (talk) 04:03, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

@Darknipples: I believed that my edit summary was accurate, but I see you have since reverted the edit, so I'll just wait for a clearer consensus to emerge. My apology if I misinterpreted the discussion. Thanks for writing. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Be fair and equitable

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grass_Valley%2C_California&diff=1161268403&oldid=1161223657

explain that to me, you removed as "unsourced content" when all but three of the people in that list have no refs. So why don't you go back remove the dozens of other unsourced people there? 70.161.8.90 (talk) 19:20, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

There is no source at Erika Flores to support the she lives in Grass Valley, and you also failed to add a source when you added her at Grass Valley. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

"Edit is a tad biased"?

"A tad"? The edit is a BLP violation as it asserts a serious crime against someone who hasn't been charged. This is further proof, as with the above paragraphs that members of Democrat party are partisan hacks that do not believe what they say and are only in search of complete power. The IP didn't even bother to put a Fox News or Breitbart source behind that whopper. And please keep your personal commentary out of edit summaries. The New York Post may have been founded by Alexander Hamilton, but now it's owned by Rupert Murdoch. Much like how Republicans were the anti-slavery party in the 1850s-1860s, and then they were the ones opposing civil rights in the 1950s-1960s. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:31, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

@Muboshgu: What are you talking about? The New York Post won a Pulitzer in 2018 for exposing the hoax that Russia collaborated with the Trump campaign to interfere with the 2016 election!! Wait a minute, I'm confused. Maybe it was the New York Times...for something Russia related. Anyway, the Post steadfastly reported that the Hunter Biden laptop was definitely Russian disinformation! Wait a minute...I'm confused again...well, it was one of those New York papers. Muboshgu, don't get angry with those who offend you with the truth, get angry with those who comfort you with lies. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Your edit summary was inappropriate and this comment is too. You've been around here long enough that you should know better than this. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:21, 24 June 2023 (UTC)

Please explain the revert

Hello, Magnolia. I noticed that you reverted my edit on the page Titusville, Florida because it was "unsourced." However, I was only looking at the census box because it was literally showing the 2020 census population. This also happened a few months ago in 2022 once I saw my edit on Michigan City, Indiana reverted. When you get the chance, please explain how it was unsourced and I will reply ASAP. Thank you.

Sahas P. (talk) 15:44, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@Sahas P.: Thank you for writing. The source accompanying your edit did not support your edit, and the source supporting the census box edit did not support that edit either. Census data for 2022 cannot be supported by a dead link accessed eight years ago. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:52, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

So does that mean basically I have to change the source so that it supports the edit? Sahas P. (talk) 15:54, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

@Sahas P.: A consensus of editors at WP:CITEWEB have agreed that editors must link to the "URL of the specific web page where the referenced content can be found". Also, updating the access date tells others the source has been updated. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

You didn't update & cleanup the reference, per your edit. The old reference wasn't an exact link for the city, because lazy editors long ago used "census.gov" as the source. The correct way to reference it requires a lot more effort. I manually did it for every city in Kansas, thus no one can complain to me that it can't be done properly. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

For example, here is the census reference for Wichita, Kansas that created about 1.5 years ago: <ref name="Census-2020-Profile">{{cite web |title=Profile of Wichita, Kansas in 2020 |url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US2079000 |publisher=United States Census Bureau |access-date=November 14, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211115012419/https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=1600000US2079000 |archive-date=November 14, 2021 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Here is my 2020 census edit for Titusville, Florida. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:42, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Undone edits by me

Sorry for restoring some edits that were not properly sourced (that you had removed). Thanks for catching that and reverting it again. Poketama (talk) 02:29, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
