I'll leave it to other editors whether this source meets the stanards of WP:EXPERTSPS Graywalls (talk) 23:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Greg, why do you continue to make requests with WP:RS failing sources hoping that someone bites? You (should) know better than this. It's a waste of everyone's time. Graywalls (talk) 01:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

I had no idea it was not a reliable source. I have replaced it with a primary source that should pass WP:RS. Greg Henderson (talk) 02:02, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

What other editors have been asking you repeatedly is to knock it off with your sloppy hasty poor quality edits that focuses churning out volume of articles at the expense of quality. But why the rush? Why do you feel the need to push volume rather than produce quality? Graywalls (talk) 02:14, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

To clarify this was regarding such various other edit requests made by Greghenderson2006 asking to insert contents citing blogs and personal websites, similar to the request that was made here. Graywalls (talk) 15:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

@Graywalls: I appreciate your feedback and concerns regarding the quality of my edits. For me quaility is important.

Regarding your critique of what you perceive as "sloppy, hasty, poor quality edits," I acknowledge the recent incident involving the use of a blog as a source for the Cornish College of the Arts article. If I had been aware that it was a blog, I would not have utilized it. Additionally, I've had discussions with Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, a community-elected Wikimedia Foundation Trustee, about the use of FamilySearch.org as a citation in her article Miriam O'Leary Collins. She said, "Don't use familysearch.org if it doesn't include a link to a WP:RS for what you want to cite. When it does include it, e.g., census page, death certificate, etc. that is a reliable source."

I strive to adhere to these guidelines diligently and remove unreliable sources whenever necessary. While your approach is characterized by the motto "I write stuff and I erase stuff on Wikipedia," I believe that constructive feedback and encouragement can be more beneficial in fostering improvement.

My recent article Draft:Fairglen Additions tries to follow the Wikipedia rules of a "good article." Your feedback is important to me, and I am committed to improving my editing practices.
