Thanks for this fix at Black Tom, that's a hard one to catch. Herostratus (talk) 04:11, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sro23. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Sro23 (talk) 08:12, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure this will work, I don't usually edit. I didn't add the "Filipino," I just linked Filipino to the Filipino people. I didn't add the original content, I just noticed all the other races were hyperlinked but that. I'm for taking it down or writing "says who?" Or "needs citation," but I'm not sure how to do that, and I'm not super concerned.

Thank you!

Yes. Mea culpa, I misread what you were trying to do. This is awkward. Sro23 (talk) 08:43, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

haha - no problem. I'm not going to touch it again. Thanks again!

An extended welcome

Hi Fastforward88. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 15:36, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for your note! I created the page on Ben Kissel per his request to over 100,000 of his fans. I'm not sure if someone has already tried, but I know how to do it (not as well as you, but adequately) and plan to update it in the future. If there is anything I should do to make it better, please advise and I will adjust it. I want to make it the best it can be but it will take some time as it's my first page I've created from scratch. I sincerely appreciate your advice and I'd like any other advice you have. Thank you!

Proposed deletion of Ben Kissel

The article Ben Kissel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable individual lacking non-notable, in-depth coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 16:58, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect argument for deletion

Ben Kissel reaches over 100,000 listeners per week on his podcast and several millions more on news stations as a political representative and speaker.

His reach goes from UW and Brooklyn and he js in fact a notable person. I will add several more aources from IMDB and various news articles but it needs to get posted first. It’s my first article because it’s the first person I’ve known to need a page who didn’t have one yet. I don’t know why Wikipedia users seem opposed to any changes they didn’t personally make.

It needs to stay and I’m open to your reasoning for proposed deletion, because I can prove it should be left.

Nomination of Ben Kissel for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ben Kissel is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Kissel until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. reddogsix (talk) 13:30, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

I’ll address it in the correct forum. Please note, I deleted the banner recommending deletion based off your initial note here and I did the steps you recommended. Fastforward88 (talk) 15:41, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Putting “convicted sex offender” as the last line in a long paragraph buries a pretty important part of an article. It makes me wonder what these mods are hiding. Fastforward88 (talk) 04:08, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
