Please do not add or change content, as you did at Return to Never Land, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

In particular, please don't add unsourced countries to film infoboxes. This needs to be cited to a reliable source. See this guide for help. You might want to check this list of sources from WikiProject Film to find good sources to check. Typically, people use Allmovie, the British Film Institute (which catalogs almost everything that shows the UK), and the American Film Institute (which is generally limited to theatrically-released American films). Lumiere is also a very good source to check, but I think it only catalogs films that play in a European country. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:10, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Attack on Pearl Harbor

Hi. I have reverted an edit of yours on this article, and would like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached (see WP:STATUSQUO).

Please remember that as the person attempting to make a change to the article, the WP:ONUS is on you to justify the change, and to get a consensus if it is disputed; and again, please do not edit war.

To help move things along, I have started a discussion on the article talk page about the disputed edit, which you will find Talk:Attack on Pearl Harbor#Anti-Americanism category. Please take the opportunity to make your views known there. It is best not to restore the material you added until there is a consensus among the editors there to do so. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Priests

Thank you for adding more detail to priest articles. I left some points, mentioned in detail in the changes for Werner Bardenhewer and Christof May, overview:

• I think for Catholic priests, we don't need to fill Religion, and Church could be just Catholic (avoiding a redirect, and not repeating "Church"
• I believe that parishes where a person was only for a short time, or at a location without article, should not be included in favour of where the person really had impact
• an abbey is not a parish --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:32, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Categories

Hi. I reverted your addition of religious categories to Caoimhe Butterly. Please read WP:BLPCAT and WP:CAT/R. In essence, there are two criteria which must both be met in order for a religion or sexuality category to be added to a BLP: the subject must identify as a member of the religion (or lack thereof) or sexuality; and their notability must derive from it. Neither applies in this case - you say she says she is a Catholic (though I can't find that anywhere) but even then the second criteria isn't met. Even the category page for the organisation she was in says not all members are Catholics. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 11:07, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Guy Sebastian

Can you add a reference of him having Anglo-Indian ancestry in his article? 'Eurasian' has a different meaning, it's usually refer to the people of mixed European and Central/East/South East Asian people. We can't add an ethnic category to a person solely on the basis of probability and speculation, unless we have the reference about their ethnicity. — Hemant Dabral (📞 • ✒) 10:13, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

The Link for the words English and Portuguese in the article (regarding his mother's ancestry) link to Anglo-Indian and Luso-Indian, indicating he is a mix. BevantheMenace (talk) 00:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
