August 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Barbara Mensah, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 10:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I was her room-mate at Millfield School and still consider the edits I tried to make to be relevant to her Wikipedia page. The link is to the school’s list of Old Millfieldians of the Year and was added as supporting evidence, the lack of which you previously gave as the reason for reverting to the previous less complete entry.
This is only the second time I have ever edited a Wikipedia entry and I consider your comments to be offensive and threatening in tone. 81.103.188.4 (talk) 10:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did with this edit to Barbara Mensah. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 10:42, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As already stated, the link is to the school’s list of Old Millfieldians of the Year and was intended as supporting evidence. 81.103.188.4 (talk) 11:02, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Barbara Mensah, you may be blocked from editing. Adakiko (talk) 10:50, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What I tried to add was neither personal analysis nor synthesis, it was simply additional facts. Whoever created this entry is clearly unaware of them.
As already stated, this is only the second time I have ever edited a Wikipedia entry, and I consider your comments to be both offensive and threatening in tone. 81.103.188.4 (talk) 11:06, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You were given links above on how to resolve the problem. My message (which is a wp:template, BTW), asked that you leave a message on my talk page, not here. Why the complaint instead of asking how to do it per wp:policy? I don't see how that first message was "threatening". If you want to get something added to an article and you talk in that sort of tone, why would anyone help you? BTW: People do get wp:blocked for adding unsourced content to wp:BLPs.

I restored your last edit and fixed your wp:BAREURL citation which doesn't meet wp:citing sources guidelines. Normally, the wp:BURDEN is on you to correctly enter data. Adakiko (talk) 20:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
