CNN[edit]

Majora, hello how are you? You gave consensus as the sole reason for reverting my edit. I almost never revert another edit. Consensus is supposed to work by editing and re-editing. That's how you improve an article. Reverts are just a way of saying I don't like a particular topic or editor. Also it says on WP: consensus that lead summaries should include criticisms as well. That's all I was doing was trying to improve an article in good faith. Here is a good example for you: Foxnews. There is a criticisms paragraph in the lead. No one asked for "permission" to put it there. It just appeared recently and has been edited and re-edited many times always with reliable sources.Aceruss (talk) 05:16, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

@Aceruss: Reverts are certainly not just a way to say you don't like a particular topic. It is a critical step to start the process towards consensus. Unfortunately, the discussion on President Trump's "feelings" towards CNN has been discussed numerous times. The President is not a reliable source by our definition of the phrase and his personal animus towards the media should be taken with a grain of salt. Leads are summaries of what is in the article. If you want to include that you can discuss it on the talk page and put it in an appropriate section. Then the lead can summarize that. Since you brought up Fox News there is an entire, large, well referenced section on bias in the main body of the article. The lead then summaries that. That is how the flow of content works on Wikipedia. Previous consensus has also landed on keeping such things, for the most part, on CNN controversies. There is already a section there regarding the retraction story.

As for your actual edit there was some problems with the references. The New York Times article does not verify the content. It does not say that CNN is bias or that there is public skepticism. The Washington Post article is from their blog section. Blogs aren't considered reliable. And I'm not even going to touch The Blaze. Just like I wouldn't trust what MSNBC says about Fox News.

The second part of your edit could also fit in the main controversies article. The main article is for major things regarding the network. If they lose the court battle that could be discussed but people and organizations get sued all the time. Being sued is not a major incident. --Majora (talk) 20:47, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello Majora as you say there is plenty of criticisms of CNN in the article itself. This should be summarized in the lead. WHY summarize criticisms in lead of Fox news AND NOT CNN? Also your first revert was made a mere 25 minutes after my post, hardly enough time for you to read all my sources articles, and that's assuming you came upon my edit just when I posted it. This is why I said you reverted because you didn't like it. Also the public skepticism was mentioned in the Yahoo-Newsweek piece. Let's not argue let's work together.Aceruss (talk) 06:43, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

July 10 2017[edit]

Why did you tag a deletion on the picture Fernbus Simulator? Its from steam and other photos from steam are not being reported. So I suggest you to fuck off bukkake-conducive jerk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TravisGTAGamer (talk • contribs) 03:57, July 10, 2017 (UTC)

And now they have been reported for deletion. Cheers! --Majora (talk) 04:39, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Sam Amidon new artist picture[edit]

Hi Majora, thanks for bringing this to my attention - I have the written permission of the photographer who took this picture to use it on Wikipedia. I was unsure how to properly upload it (as was a bit confused by the different Creative Commons licence wordings!), but thought I had uploaded it correctly stating that it was not a copyright violation? I will request undeletion. Please could you let me know if there's anything else I could do to prove that I have her permission? Many thanks. (Kpendleton1 (talk) 09:04, 10 July 2017 (UTC))

Help with Woven Digital / Uproxx Media Group[edit]

Hi there! I've been looking around at articles for digital media companies and saw that you've previously contributed to the articles for CNN and Vox, so I wanted to see if you'd be interested to look at an edit request for Uproxx Media Group (formerly Woven Digital), which owns sites including Uproxx and BroBible. On behalf of the company, I've written a new draft to improve the article and in my edit request, I've also proposed moving the article to the company's new name, Uproxx Media Group. I have a conflict of interest, so I'm looking for neutral editors to review the draft and discuss the name change suggestion. Would you be able to help? Thanks in advance. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 15:00, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

@16912 Rhiannon: I should have time to go over this tonight. I will let you know when I am done. --Majora (talk) 22:15, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any questions as you're looking at it. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 18:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
@16912 Rhiannon: Sorry for the delay. Time got away from me yesterday. I've started to go over it now and will let you know. It might take me a little bit to go over the entire draft but I have started. --Majora (talk) 00:49, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

I may not like that you keep removing my threads[edit]

But I have to at least give you props for drinking your coffee black. That may be the one thing we have in common. Some degree of transparency (talk) 19:45, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
