Hello, I've had to revert part of your edit to List of fatal dog attacks in the United States, specifically this incident: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2019/03/20/tennessee-woman-mauled-death-six-german-shepherds/3223436002/ where you listed the breed as 'Mixed breed' despite the article clearly stating German Shepherds.

Wikipedia does not allow original research/speculation and your edits must report what WP:Reliable sources say. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:16, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Recent addition to list of fatal dog attacks in the US.

edit

Hello, I undid your last edit where you cited https://www.fatalpitbullattacks.com/children-killed-by-pit-bulls.php Wikipedia requires all information and there are guidelines on how to identify sources that are reliable and those that aren't (see WP:V and WP:RS). Fatalpitbullattacks.com just republishes information from dogsbite.org, also an unreliable source as they are both self-published and don't have any reputation for fact checking compared to something like a newspaper or a book published by a reputable company.

The news articles listed in the dogsbite articles are usually good enough to be used as a reliable source, just make sure you're reading them and taking the information from the articles themselves and not dogsbite.org. If you're unsure about a source you can ask on Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard and Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources has information on some commonly used/well known sources.

You can cite reliable sources such as the news articles linked by dogsbite.org, just make sure you report what the news report has stated and not anything from dogsbite.org itself. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your contributed article, List of fatalities in the United States

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, List of fatalities in the United States. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2024 deaths in the United States. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2024 deaths in the United States. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. IgnatiusofLondon (he/him☎️) 23:47, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Recent addition to List of fatal dog attacks in the US

edit

Today, you re-added content to this article that is not backed by the sources, specifically the names of the victims. It would be very helpful if you stopped making these types of edits, especially while the article is undergoing an AfD. These types of edits only serve to support the claims of those who want to delete this article. In addition, you added a new attack indicating that the breed was unknown and that the attack included two dogs; the article clearly says the dogs were German shepherds and that 3 dogs were involved in the attack. You made similar additions the other day, with details that did not match the source. This is especially problematic when details such as the dog breed do not match the source, making it seem like you have a bias or agenda. Please make sure that your additions use the cited sources for information and that you cite all sources used. Thanks. Rublamb (talk) 02:44, 17 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
