It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like: "What about lunch?" — A. A. Milne

Anne Edwards[edit]

es. I am Anne Edwards' daughter, Catherine Edwards Sadler.

She died on Saturday, January 20, 2024 in Beverly Hills at 7:30 am. https://www.instagram.com/p/C2Yobspp1QqGzzP7SfftW350BLtwk-yxomucH80/?img_index=1 If I am not a reliable source, I don't know who is. We are filing an obituary with the LA Times and perhaps this update has to wait until then. I know my brother, Michael Edwards https://www.instagram.com/p/C2acdWcR1B6/ tried to add the death date as well, given she is a public figure and felt it important for it to reflect her passing. I have been told by the funeral home that the city of Los Angeles takes a good 5-6 weeks week for the death certificate and that seems like a long time to have incorrect information about her on Wikepedia. 76.170.48.250 (talk) 23:50, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

76.170.48.250 — I am very sorry for your loss, you have my deepest sympathy. Per our policies, we do require a published reliable source for confirmation on the date of death. Your mother appears to be a well known biographer, so I checked with some major newspapers like The New York Times and The Washington Post, etc. and they are not reporting her passing away yet. As soon as you are able to get a obituary published, please reach out and let me know, and I will assist you in updating her article. In the meantime, I will keep checking the newspapers to see if they have reported it. I understand this is a difficult time for you and your brother, but our policy is really strict on reporting deaths. Thank your for reaching out, I appreciate it.

Changes to Death of Eleanor de Freitas[edit]

Hello, Isaidnoway. You recently reverted back some changes to "The Death of Eleanor de Freitas". Please could you change it back on the following basis. The Copyright of the Court of Appeal belongs to the Crown. The bailii website whom you state owns the copyright, in fact copied the judgement themselves onto their website, they are not the copyright owner, so there are no infringements to them. Court of Appeal Judgements in England are subject to an "open licence" when it comes to Copyright, which means anyone can copy them. Which is why bailii can copy it, and why wikipedia or anyone else can copy it. A court judgement is a public document, it is not w work of literature of a commercial work. So please could you change this back, on the basis there is no copyright infringement. 217.44.67.79 (talk) 16:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, even if the content is not copyrighted, we don't copy/past entire paragraphs from court documents. We use reliable secondary sources to analyze and interpret those documents, and then report what they publish. Isaidnoway (talk) 16:25, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current status of this wikipedia page is 80% in favour of de Freitas. It is not in balence. Most of the references are from feminists of people who had absolutely no connection to the case other than speculating. The actual facts in court documents are mostly committed and replaced with opinion. This is about court cases, yet the material from court documents is not allowed. This is absurd. An interview with Economou is not allowed because he was interviewed by a right wing newspaper, the Daily Mail? Really. An actual interview is dismissed? Yet de Freitas allegations are quoted word for word. Wikipedia is a load of old rubbish. It is people like you who cause problems and create fake news. 90.255.71.4 (talk) 22:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is your connection to Alexander Economou? Do you have a conflict of interest in regards to this article? Isaidnoway (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join New pages patrol[edit]

Hello Isaidnoway!

The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

List-defined reference?[edit]

I saw your edit/comment on the Quad Inc. page and wasn't sure what it meant. Would you mind explaining further? I was just publishing citations as I have on other Wikipedia pages and am curious if I should be doing something different. TIA. Kikosays (talk) 16:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the edits you made to the article, you removed list-defined references, as seen here. See the help page for further information, so in the future, you can fix these citation errors yourself. Please also see show preview - below the edit box is a "Show preview" button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually implementing your edits. It is strongly recommended that you use this before hitting "Publish changes", that way, if your edit(s) created a citation error, you can fix it before you publish your edit. Thanks.

Kids Magazine![edit]

Hi @Isaidnoway, I just want to say I really appreciate the new information you added about the 1970s KIDS Magazine! I own issues 1-21 and 23 and really loved it when I was a kid. Do you happen to know what the final issue was? I’m always on the lookout on eBay! Keithgreenfan (talk) 22:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Keithgreenfan, when I first came across that article during the WikiProject Unreferenced articles's FEB24 backlog drive, I had never heard of that magazine, and was worried it was so obscure that I wouldn't be able to find any sources for it. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of coverage it had actually received in its heyday. And then of course later on it received coverage because of Jenette Kahns initial involvement. But to answer your question, no, I don't actually know when the last issue came out, but eBay and other commerce sites are your best best, as you mentioned. Good luck. Isaidnoway (talk) 01:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks @Isaidnoway! I’m glad you beefed up the references for the article! Keithgreenfan (talk) 10:39, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A message from Villkomoses[edit]

Hi! can you recheck Heibai Wuchang entry under 2020s list as based on citation and sources was aired before 2020s so I moved it to 2016s ,since its gone should be moved to 2010s? ,also  this article is about Chinese Animations and not the historical ,mythical origins of the same Title, see "In popular culture" section of Heibai Wuchang and follow the citations I made there to see what I mean, this asides awesome thanks for the assist in making the page better.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/33562/Heibai_Wushang/pics Villkomoses (talk) 14:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the citation errors for you, and I think myanimelist.net is probably an unreliable source, since it appears to be user-generated content, I wouldn't use it, look for a better source. Isaidnoway (talk) 17:38, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania Railroad class T1[edit]

Hello I noticed you and Shadow311 recently reverted an IP user(s) edits to Pennsylvania Railroad class T1. I just noticed that large number of edits have occurred again by an IP editor(s). You might want to give it a review.

Also, have you noticed any vandalism trends on Pennsylvania railroad articles? Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 02:02, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Classicwiki - my guess it is the same user judging by the proximity of their geolocations and the same pattern of editing behavior. I only ran across the article because it was listed in a category where I was doing clean up of citation errors. I'll have a look though and review their edits. And no, I have not noticed a pattern of vandalism on Pennsylvania railroad articles. Thanks for reaching out. Isaidnoway (talk) 09:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
