User talk:71.9.59.11

Nicole Shanahan

Hi IP, I reverted you change to the article because such are large removal/change needs consensus so please start a discussion on the talk page (Talk:Nicole Shanahan). You will want to present reliable sources to support your proposal or show the sources cited do not support the content thus should be removed. S0091 (talk) 18:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sources that were allowed through to begin with weren't reliable though. They are opinions cited by opinion articles. I could come up with opinion articles too. It would be an incredibly lengthy page to have to compare and contrast, and then cite science in abundance. I think that would deter from a proper presentation of the person's page.

Thank you for the message. I will join the talk. 71.9.59.11 (talk) 03:34, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I'm S0091, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Although you're free to perform most tasks on Wikipedia without registering, it's highly recommended you create an account as there are many added benefits. It's private and secure and it's also free, simple, and quick to do.

When editing, follow the 3 Core Content Policies:

1. Neutral point of view: represent significant views fairly

2. Verifiability: claims should cite reliable, published sources

3. No original research: no originality; reference published sources

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your IP address linked to your contributions page (however, if you create an account, your IP address will be hidden and you will be able to build a custom signature that can link to your own user page), a link to this (this IP's talk) page, and a timestamp.

Hi again, I responded to you on the Nicole Shanahan talk page with some advice. I also suggest reading the Neutral point of view policy linked above (the intro, "Due and undue weight" section and the ones below it will probably be the most helpful) and another good one not linked above is the Biographies of living people policy. Another tip is if you introduce different sources, stick with mainstream ones. See WP:RSP for some of the major/most discussed sources and consensus regarding their reliability (i.e. NYT ok, Daily Mail nope). S0091 (talk) 16:49, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

This is just for your awareness. S0091 (talk) 16:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
