Re: Autism

Hello Frood. I'm sure that some autistic people are disobedient and stubborn, they know that it's not correct to do this, but they continue anyway. 138.229.19.202 (talk) 17:27, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Cool. You need to provide citation before making such a bold claim though. – Frood (talk) 17:29, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Some autistic people have obsessions, no matter what it's good or bad, they want to keep the same habit, no change ! 138.229.19.202 (talk) 17:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Tom Malinowski's Page

I deleted the section titled "Controversies" on Congressman Malinowski's page because the "Controversies" listed were simply people disagreeing with his beliefs. The section was seemingly posted with political motives, and people shouldn't be able to influence elections by creating fake controversies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NJFactChecker (talk • contribs) 18:15, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering you, but...

New Page Patrol needs experienced volunteers

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions and review our instructions page. You can apply for the user-right HERE. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)}_{(click me!)} 19:56, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Sugar Maple

I want anyone who has an answer to this question "What is the name on offer of the indigenous sugar maple species, and which one is used for real Canadian maple syrup?" to have the answer on the page instead of my question. If the editors can't see my question, this information won't be found. I don't know if it could be solved, if you do, please forward my question as it should! But I've been trying to find the answer for a year. I would like to find it on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gyulánk (talk • contribs) 01:55, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
