unsourced material in biographies

I have removed unsourced material from Preston Likely because it violates our [[policy on policy on biographies of living persons.Please do not re-insert unsourced text. As the policy explains: "Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

Hello, I'm Skingo12. I noticed that in this edit to Red Guitars, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Skingo12 (talk) 16:33, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Polly Kiersten! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Kingston upon Hull that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

@TheLongTone:

Hello there.

Thanks for commenting on my article.

I don't understand the remark: 'Not enough good articles on street artists'.

Thanks,

Polly Polly Kiersten (talk) 17:48, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

I meant that there are not enough decent articles on street artists...& hence your effort is very welcomeTheLongTone (talk) 15:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Did you know that there is a scientific journal dedicated to this topic? Street Art & Urban Creativity. Peer-reviewed, Open Access, pretty much perfect for us. Vexations (talk) 19:41, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind words.

Daily Mail reference at Athirty4

Hi. Please do not use the Daily Mail as you did at Athirty4. It is not a reliable source. See WP:DAILYMAIL. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 10:53, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I was unaware that the Dail Mail, one of the UK's largest newspapers- in terms of its website popularity and physical papers sold- was on some sort of red list. Polly Kiersten (talk) 14:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

No problem. The Daily Mail's very poor quality doesn't seem to keep people from reading it. Its readership does not infer reliability or whether it's suitable for building an encyclopaedia. Generally, WP:RSP is a good place to check a source's reliability. Robby.is.on (talk) 15:06, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Preston Likely

Hello, Polly Kiersten. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Preston Likely".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Yellow Day in Hull

Hi Polly Kiersten, I have changed a sentence of yours about Yellow Day in Kingston_upon_Hull#Festivals. It was just back to front, and started with a lower-case letter. We all make little mistakes sometimes, but it is a good idea to choose Show preview (next to the Publish changes button) to check your work before publishing. Cheers, and best wishes. 💛 - Frans Fowler (talk) 12:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
