Thanks

I wasn’t quite sure which section to have added the material about the police union in the Shooting of Jacob Blake. Your move was much better, thank you for doing that! - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:20, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

@Chris.sherlock: Hey thanks! Keeping up with this article has been like running a marathon. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 10:22, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Toronto City Council

Hi. At Toronto City Council you objected to my adding this: "By 1891, there were 13 wards, with three aldermen elected per ward: St. Alban's, St. Andrew's, St. David's, St. George's, St. James's, St. John's, St. Lawrence's, St. Mark's, St. Matthew's, St. Patrick's, St. Paul's, St. Stephen's, and St. Thomas's."

I did not add any new information. It's literally a summary of the rest of other parts of that section:

St. Andrew's (named for Saint Andrew)- bounded by Dufferin, King, Queen, and Yonge Streets – St. Andrew's Church (Toronto) is located within the ward

St. David's (named for Saint David) – bounded by Ontario, Don Mills Road (now Broadview Ave), Bloor and Queen

St. George's (named for Saint George) – bounded by King, Yonge, Dufferin Streets and lakefront

St. Lawrence's (named for Lawrence of Rome) – bounded by Queen, Yonge, lakefront, McGee

St. Patrick's (named for Saint Patrick) – bounded by Bloor, Bathurst, Queen and College Streets (now part of Trinity-Spadina) – St. Patrick's Church is located within this ward

St. John's (either for John the Apostle or John the Baptist) – bounded by Yonge, University, Bloor and Queen

St. Stephen's (named for Saint Stephen) – bounded by Bathurst, Bloor, Queen and Dufferin Streets

St. Thomas's (named for Thomas the Apostle) – bounded by Jarvis, Ontario, Bloor, Queen Streets

St. James's (named for James, son of Zebedee) – bounded by Yonge, Jarvis, King and Bloor – Cathedral Church of St. James is located within the ward

When Yorkville was annexed in 1883, it became St. Paul's Ward (named for Paul the Apostle or Saint Paul). When Riverdale was annexed in 1884, it became St. Matthew's Ward (named for Matthew the Apostle or Saint Matthew). Brockton was also annexed in 1884, and it became the ward of St. Mark's (named for Mark the Evangelist or Saint Mark). When Parkdale was annexed in 1889, it became St. Alban's Ward (named for Saint Alban).

The 9 wards are listed first and the paragraph above listed an additional four. I simply added an additional sentence for clarity. Sowny (talk) 17:28, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Sowny: Thank you for writing. Because you did not leave an edit summary, your edit looked liked just more unsourced content. You also mention "with three aldermen elected per ward". What is your source for this? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

That's actually from an 1891 Globe article I was looking at. Sorry, I thought that was already in the Wikipedia article somewhere. I'll add in a citation later today. BTW, I found a site that has an old Ward map that would fit nicely into the article. Do you know how I would be able to add it? It's here: http://www.daveobee.com/resources/toronto1889.html Sowny (talk) 18:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

@Sowny: The map looks like it was created by the author of the webpage, so it is copyrighted. If you are able to find an original I will show you how to upload it. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:28, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Lake Oswego racism

Why do you feel that it's not appropriate for lede? The lede should adequately summarize what's in the article; and the city is receiving significant press attention for the very thing that is under controversy and given this, I feel a sentence in the lead showing racist nature of this city is reasonably balanced. https://pamplinmedia.com/lor/108-education/467711-378701-behind-the-documentary-lake-no-negro https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/08/13/portland-apartment-tenant-says-landlord-is-trying-to-remove-black-lives-matter-signs/ Graywalls (talk) 19:12, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@Graywalls: Thank you for writing. The town's racist nickname is listed in the article along with all the other nicknames. Adding this one particular nickname to the lead seems WP:UNDUE. The best way to get input is to start a discussion on the talk page. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 21:32, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive edits and edit warring

Hello. On my page, you accused me of posting disruptive edits and edit warring on Virginia Minnesota's page. I am honestly confused by your hostility. This is literally my area of expertise, as I stated when making the edits, whereas those questing the information do not appear to have solid grounds for the claims. For example, you said, "Neither of these sources seems reliable." I don't know what you are basing your claim on, but as a criminologist, I chose to provide the secondary rather than primary sources because they are more legible to the public compared to the raw data they analyze. The government specifically produces crime statistics for third parties to analyze. Linking to spreadsheets full of codes and numbers would not be useful for readers, and those who are interested in the source data can find it on the methodology page of the secondary sources. I have explained my edits each time I made them, and I would be glad to talk about how to include the public safety information in the most effective way possible.

Zsick (talk) 16:33, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

@Zsick: Thank you for writing. May I ask, will you expect to receive any compensation for your edits to Virginia, Minnesota? Do you have a personal connection to this article? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:42, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I didn't know it was possible to receive compensation for edits, and I'm not sure what you mean by "personal connection." In any case, you are the one taking down accurate information, so can I ask whether you are being compensated in any way, or have some personal connection that you haven't disclosed? You appear to be an experienced editor, but I have struggled to understand your motives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zsick (talk • contribs) 16:50, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

@Zsick: Four other editors besides myself, User:North114, User:Reedlander, User:Donner60, and User:173.21.172.232, have reverted your edit. You also said in more than one edit summary that Virginia, Minnesota is your "hometown". Now you are saying you are a "criminologist". What is your connection to this place, and will you expect to receive any compensation for your edits? Magnolia677 (talk) 17:22, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Truth is not a popularity contest. I have provided sources for the information I contributed. Your personal questions and attacks are inappropriate and violate Wikipedia's policy on dispute resolution. Please let me know if you would like to talk about the content. Zsick (talk) 17:35, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

@Zsick: All but one of your edits in the past two years have been to Virginia, Minnesota, where you add the same information to the lead section about how dangerous this place is. This does not seem appropriate, per MOS:LEAD. And because you are a single-purpose account, I am concerned that your edits transgress Wikipedia's Arbitration Committee ruling that: "Single purpose accounts and editors who hold a strong personal viewpoint on a particular topic covered within Wikipedia are expected to contribute neutrally instead of following their own agenda and, in particular, should take care to avoid creating the impression that their focus on one topic is non-neutral, which could strongly suggest that their editing is not compatible with the goals of this project". This is why I'm wondering if you are editing this way because you have a conflict of interest. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:57, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Again, if you have specific concerns about the content, please state them. I do not wish to engage in a personal dispute with you, and I do not have to explain why I am posting accurate and appropriately sourced information. I have justified and supported my content. Please refrain from personal attacks.

Zsick (talk) 18:40, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

I've replied at WP:ANI, but I messed the ping up. This is a courtesy post to let you know. Mjroots (talk) 18:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

New section

TennesseeHistoryBuff (talk)Not exactly sure how to use the Talk pages yet. You removed by additions. The citations are in the Central High Yearbook of 1943.

@TennesseeHistoryBuff: Thank you for writing. Primary sources like high school yearbooks are not the best, as typically they list a photo and a name, with nothing to confirm it is the person you think it may be. Sites like find-a-grave and genealogy sites use user generated content, and are not reliable sources, per WP:UGC. If someone is notable, there will likely be much published about them in reliable secondary sources. I hope this helps. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:09, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

About the Disruptive Editing

Good day, you have told me that I have been posting disruptive edits on the Jeepney page, I do not have the sources to those words but they are pretty much self-explained sentences. I do have the source that inspired me to edit the page. If you could just let me add the reference and undo the whole thing. Please don't think the whole section was a lie, those were just poor explanations by me. https://www.autoindustriya.com/features/the-auv-in-the-service-of-the-filipino.html

Yes, after the Dodge Dart edit made me seem all unbelievable due to messing up pages, please do not think the fact that I am full of lies that and reverting edits that I have somehow worked for. Yes, I will admit that I have made a mistake as I wasn't reading that much. If I couldn't do it, Can you? please? https://www.allpar.com/history/chrysler-years/1966.php https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/musclecarsphfr/local-muscle-t765.html#.U7msX7Hly2d

Wikipedia does not acknowledge forums as reliable sources, but here is the evidence that they were made there somehow.

For the Asia section on the Dodge page, those were pretty much self-explained, again, but they were deeply researched for about who distributed Dodges in that country. If you could let me add the distributor's name, hopefully we can add it. Here are the evidences: http://myk384.blogspot.com/2014/08/used-car-review-dodge-durango-2000-2004.html http://myk384.blogspot.com/2012/09/used-car-of-week-dodge-durango-2005-2009.html http://myk384.blogspot.com/2014/03/car-profiles-dodge-caravan-1998-2002.html

The Toyota Alphard, in my opinion, does not explanation, the Alphard was pretty much the highest in it's line-up just below it is the Toyota Previa. Though there are not any articles to show this, those were just pretty much self-explained

Due to these events, I have now been deemed untrustworthy but hopefully you can change your point of view and think that I am not vandalizing pages. But please don't blame, but we all humans make mistakes at some point, but please do.

I really apologize for the mistakes that made Wiki pages ruined.

A removal you made

Curious as to why Wesley Jansen was removed from Whittier notable people? He is an actor. Referenced IMDB. Also located in other portions of Wikipedia and google. D8675309E (talk) 15:53, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

• (talk page watcher)The requirements to be in a notable persons list is as follows: either a Wikipedia biography article or proof in a single reliable source that proves the person meets either WP:GNG or an WP:SNG; and a reliable source that proves his connection to the subject of the article containing the list. IMDB is not a reliable source. Please read all the links contained in this message, D8675309E, plus WP:NLIST. If after reading the links, you are still confused,  please enquire at WP:TEA, a Q&A forum just for new new editors. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 17:53, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
