Merrell Twins Wikipedia page.

Thank you for removing some of my comment on the Merrell Twins Wikipedia Page. However, it seems you have removed my comment on Vanessa Merrells current dating life. I have added it back on. This information is correct and proved by Vanessa Merrell herself. With all due respect, please do not delete my work again or I will have you reported. Thank you, Editorsouth.

Please see the guidelines at Wikipedia:Reliable sources. You will see that Instagram is not considered a reliable source. You should also note that primary sources (like Instagram) are often considered unreliable in that they are not indications of notability. In this case, the article is about the twins and their activites on YouTube and other visual media. It draws on sources such as Variety, People, and Seventeen magazines, all respected publications with respect to indicating notability. Posts on Instagram, Facebook and the like may indicate that something is true, but it doesn't indicate that it's important enough or appropriate for an encyclopedia. You might also take a look at the guidelines at WP:NOTGOSSIP. _signed, Willondon (talk) 19:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

6x7 Cubes

Hey mate, why do you keep removing our edits, I mean, does anyone really look at the Sharon Massachusetts Wikipedia page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Labunski13 (talk • contribs) 21:13, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

The added material has no secondary sources, which Wikipedia relies on (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources). That's not just for checking the truth of something, but for determining whether or not it's notable for an encyclopedia. Looking at the stats for the article Sharon, Massachusetts, it has 37 readers who have included it on their watch list [1], and 1,054 page views over the past 30 days [2]. In both cases, more than I would have thought, but there it is. _signed, Willondon (talk) 21:31, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Why did you delete our addtion to Godspell

We added this because we were the first in the Middle East to perform Godspell in Iran. It is pertinent to the rest of the information on that page. We did this in 1974 way before the others in 80's 90's or 2000's.

Why you got to touch my user page for?

You don’t see me deleting your user page LIWProWrestling (talk) 01:18, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

I put the {{db-u5}} template on the page because Wikipedia isn't meant for hosting promotional pages. The account name suggests that it represents a company or organization; accounts are for individual users only. Your user page merely had promotional information on it, for something that didn't go through the draft process to confirm that the subject is notable enough for an encyclopedia article. And the account's only activity on Wikipedia has been to build that page, not improve the Wikipedia project in general. If you read Wikipedia:Drafts, you can learn how, where and why to develop an article for the encyclopedia, if you think the subject is notable enough. Be prepared to provide cites from secondary sources to support that. _signed, Willondon (talk) 01:35, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

I realized you are removing other politically incorrect content. You glow brighter than the sun bitch. Proundly signed 24.51.233.5 (talk) 19:46, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Not sure what this comment has to do with your edits at the politically charged List of mathematical constants (the latest of four being here). But my mum always said I had the potential to be more than just a red dwarf. Thanks again. _signed, Willondon (talk) 19:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Trying to update Abella Danger

Dear Willondon,

I am trying to update Abella Danger, by adding her bio. But you keep reversing it - please stop doing this, I just want to add a biography. If i did something wrong, please let me know.

Tim0492 (talk) 17:04, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, the way you are going about it is wrong. The "article" for Abella Danger is known as a "redirect". It sends the reader to another article, in this case the Winners and nominees section of the article at AVN Award for Female Performer of the Year. This is because there is not enough material for a full article all about her.

The way to create such an article is to go through the draft process. I won't give links here, as I see you've already started this process at Draft:Adriana Chechik. So you need to do the same for Abella Danger, before replacing the redirect with an article.

And be forewarned, the subjects may not meet the standard for notability. And note, IMDb is not considered sufficient for this sort of thing, because anybody can add to that database without any oversight. Thanks. _signed, Willondon (talk) 17:24, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Shenandoah Valley Governor's School page.

I don't understand why you feel you have nothing better to do with your life than to remove comments on the Shenandoah Valley Governor's School page. How do you know the information is false?

United Herzlia Schools neutral tone proof reading

Thank you for your message on the sources I was coming back to do those later. I would like to ask if the article I added to the page is compliant in your opinion of a neutral tone. I hope you get back to me thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotJeffcohen123 (talk • contribs) 23:56, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

I will have time to take a better look after dinner (my turn to make). At first glance, I see challenges could come from Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, in the section on Due and undue weight, especially the section under Balancing aspects. The sheer volume of text overwhelms the article as a whole. You could trust me to do some trimming when I have time, or you could trim some yourself. Either way, I'll come back to the article later to have a look. _signed, Willondon (talk) 00:10, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

United Herzlia Schools requesting review

HI I have substantially edited my contribution to the page and would like your help again to evaluate the page kind regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotJeffcohen123 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Yes, very good. It outlines the controversy very concisely, without throwing the article's balance off. I made some further copyedits to introduce the tradition of anthems first, and some punctuation, etc. If you are aware of a source that has reported on the reaction to the alumni's “Herzlia Alumni Support Freedom of Thought and Peaceful Expression of Dissent”, that would be a useful addition. Cheers. _signed, Willondon (talk) 22:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

P.S. If you put four tildes, ~~~~ after talk page comments, it will automatically add your signature, which is encouraged. Otherwise, a bot comes along later and adds it with "— Preceding unsigned comment added by...". _signed, Willondon (talk) 22:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Power to weight ratio

I added some data but it was deleted and marked as spam. I just wanted to add that infos, not to spamming. Diez 90 (talk) 23:29, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to the edits you made as IP 79.112.120.115, starting with [7]. I will review what I deleted there. _signed, Willondon (talk) 23:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

I see what you did there. (Sorry, it took me a bit, until I relealized the text I was searching for was in collapsed tables that I had to "[show]" first.) I took it as spam, because the site linked to is a commercial site, and it has been included five times in different Wikipedia articles. Looking at how the information fits in with the other content on those pages, I see no reason for me to revert any other such additions made. Sorry for your inconvenience, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. Cheers. _signed, Willondon (talk) 00:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

It's ok. I don't know very well how to make edits on wiki. Sorry for inconvenience and thank you very much! :) Diez 90 (talk) 00:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. Don't know how I managed to misread that one, but I did. Meters (talk) 06:42, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I can't figure it. I looked at his article. I even checked the reference in his article, and I still didn't notice that the school was wrong. Must be too late for me. Meters (talk) 06:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Did admin scoreboard and mentioned you

I found your edits cramped my desire to be part of Wikipedia. I question if you have a conflict of interest. I also put on my talk page times that your edits simply weren't based on verifiability at Katherine Delmar Burke's.2601:645:8300:C6D0:356C:E335:9D83:E990 (talk) 15:05, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I assume you refer to this post [8]. I have no connection to Katherine Delmar Burke School outside of Wikipedia. This version of the talk page [9] is the last before it was edit-protected. For the brave and patient explorer, it illustrates the dominant themes: what is original research on Wikipedia, tradition and how to use talk pages, and the definition of censorship. There's nothing more to be said. It's time for all to sit back and reflect, or just move on. _signed, Willondon (talk) 15:36, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation on the relation to the school. I made another reference in the lesser version they suggested. The way you wholesale edited good info didn't work for me. Factsforsure44 (talk) 16:17, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

I can't see any obvious problem with your editing, but there appears to be a competence issue on the part of the IP. At present the ANI report is so confused that I couldn't take any action even if I wanted to. Deb (talk) 16:18, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Wow, Wikipedia editors are unwelcoming. My issue is that there were wholesale deletions for no real reason. In the "We Run the Tides" situation the book is BASED on Burke's and Willondon said that it probably didn't mention it. That's why I provided the npr link. Wiki-competence isn't easy to get. And you all make it easy not to try.Factsforsure44 (talk) 16:26, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

This is one of the few cases where I speculated. In small part because the link was to a Google Books listing, so I had no way to examine the contents, and in large, huge, humongous part because of the exhaustive amount of time I've spent checking all your sources, to be ultra-fair to you ([10],[11],[12],[13],[14],[15]), only to find that Burke's was not mentioned in any of them (the most often case), or had some weak "six degrees of freedom" connection to the school.

If you find Wikipedia unwelcoming, like you're running into one brick wall after another, it's because you fail to appreciate what is wrong with your additions: you cannot take sources' statements about private schools in general, assume that they are appropriate to an article on Burke's because (your original research modus operandum) Burke's is a private school just like them, and then put in your own conclusions in an article about Burke's. This has been explained to you many times, in many ways, by different editors. Wikipedia has been way more than fair and patient with you. _signed, Willondon (talk) 17:16, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello willondon ... on Kpando article

Basically I see there is very little info on most the towns and villages in Ghana... kpando is a very historically significant place and will like to add much more relevant info

I will appreciate some guidance, still getting used to the system because i am pretty new to it... thought i have a extensive background in tech.

So going to retry some new details in own words like you suggested with some sources

OK. I was going to wait for the admins to clear up the text under copyright, and then add a summary, like:

The founders of Kpando were from the Aja people, including the Ewe peoples of Ghana and Togo. Around the middle of the 18th century, Tthey migrated from the state of Notsie to present day Togo. They encountered the river Dayi, known for taking the lives of those who tried to cross, because of its dense waters. Proper equipment was needed. When they had crossed the river, the Aja people were so thankful that they created the festival of Danyigbakak. Every three years, they celebrate by pouring a libation into the river.

I would wait until the edit history is cleared up, then you can add something yourself, or just take the text above. Cheers. _signed, Willondon (talk) 23:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

David Melnick's passing

Hello, Willondon. Sorry to say that David Melnick passed away yesterday, 2/15/2022, at age 83, just short of his 84th birthday, at a nursing home in S.F. Source: I'm his nephew and caretaker of his affairs since he entered the nursing home two years back. But if you prefer, we can wait to update until an obit is published. As David was a longtime editor at the S.F. Chronicle, we're going to try to get something published there. Rmelca (talk) 23:15, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear of it. That would be good: an obit, or something in the Chronicle. Especially for passings, Wikipedia really needs something official in print. "The encyclopedia anybody can edit!" As you can imagine, that has its good and bad points. _signed, Willondon (talk) 23:25, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Wow me feeling hurt all the time I scared

(Note: I moved this post, misplaced at User talk:Willondon/Accolades, to the talk page here. I'm not sure what it means, but they seem to have something important to say, so I didn't want to just delete it.)

Get a life how I wondered on someone who takes time to make up lies on this is crazy but wow you are absolutely crazy sorry man it's a democracy your worse then a CNN or fox news reporter just changing things to lies on one side of the political spectrum.. wow 2603:6080:DD40:120:248F:793A:3B99:DF28 (talk) 01:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Shealeigh

Darlin by shealeigh is still important to include in her discography, you wouldn’t go removing releases from a-list musicians I don’t understand why this is any different. It was removed from iTunes and Spotify but it was officially released, the canceled Ep wasn’t released but this song was. not to mention it’s still available to steam on Napster, another music service. As far as removing the citation linking the Napster page, I don’t know why . Other songs on that page have citations of iTunes links, if a Napster link isn’t good, then neither should the iTunes citations that have Been on the page for over a decade 76.182.48.225 (talk) 04:31, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

Now that you brought the iTunes links to my attention, I've removed those, too. The problem isn't with listing the albums or singles, the problem is with including direct links to them. They're what's known as a primary source, and generally not useful for verifying information. Adding such links is strongly discouraged, and applies to A-list artists, too. You can have a look at the article on Taylor Swift. There aren't generally direct links added to mentions and lists of her songs and albums. You might find direct links like this on some music-related pages. If you do, they shouldn't be there.

If I removed the actual listing, that was wrong. Feel free to add them again, without the links. When I reverted, I did a comparison of how the article was before and after all the edits you made. I may have overlooked that, and thrown out the baby with the bath water there. _signed, Willondon (talk) 04:59, 21 February 2022 (UTC)

(later) Yes, I checked the edit history, and that's what I did. Sorry about that. _signed, Willondon (talk) 05:01, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
