September 2020

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tanana, Alaska, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:19, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Questions

Why did you remove the birth date and add a nowiki here? What does your edit summary "spch" mean? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:23, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 20:37, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Discretionary Sanctions Notice - American Politics

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Don't misuse edit requests

Edit requests are only allowed for totally uncontroversial edits, IOW get a consensus on the talk page first. Other options are to just create a regular section and ask for clarification. -- Valjean (talk) 23:10, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, people ignore talk pages. I posted on there and was asking a few things. You're helpful, I mean it's silly how things are going on this site. I know there are some interesting or competent people on here. However there is so much controversy (see Larry Sanger). Howdoesitgo1 (talk) 23:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I follow him on Twitter. That is a truly sad situation. He has completely abandoned reliance on RS and now traffics in conspiracy theories and debunked falsehoods. -- Valjean (talk) 23:50, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

I'll mention some of the very problematic things on here. Weather related articles, particularly typhoons, hurricanes, earthquakes draw some hotheads. I can't even edit these words, "school release days". Take a look at Tina Turner. People are trying to scrub mentions of things that are historical on there and in other places. I know some of this is due to there are not that many editors on here now. There is a substantial percentage of international editors who have their biases. Also general incompetence is easily found. It's disheartening, I mean I am really trying. The way the "principles" of the site are tossed around is stupid. They wouldn't understand said principles if they were smacked by them. This site has no official statement furthermore. The abuse of what the site stands for must stop. Howdoesitgo1 (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

Valjean, could you help? Howdoesitgo1 (talk) 03:51, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
