  Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to USS Enterprise (CVN-65), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - wolf 05:18, 22 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you User:Thewolfchild I have added a reference. As an R.P. at K2 I was well aware the the original date stated of 1978 was incorrect. (unless Enterprise had a Final Countdown of it's own) Unfortunately no-one had been as quick as yourself to demand refs for the other 3 paragraphs in the 'Eighth and ninth deployments' stanza. so who knows how long the incorrect information has been there?

Just for future reference, when I reverted your edit, using the 'undo' link, it was to send the page back to the previous version. When you made the next edit, you also used the 'undo' link, but you weren't reverting back to the previous version, you added a ref which means you created a new version. You don't use undo for that. It sends the previous editor a notification that you've reverted them when really you haven't. Some people do it deliberately just to be obnoxious, but I'm sure that was not your intent. Just know that going forward and thank you for improving the article. - wolf 15:08, 22 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Notable alumni of James Ruse Agricultural High School

edit

Hello Theirishslave, you restored a name to the list of notable alumni without providing a citation confirming that person did attend the school. Names in the list must be (1) notable and (2) an alumnus. The name you restored fails #2. I've again removed the name. Feel free to put it pack if you can provide the required citation that confirms their attendance. 'Other things exist' is not a justification for not meeting the requirements. If you see other names that don't belong in the list you have the opportunity to remove them. Gab4gab (talk) 13:40, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello Gab4gab. I again restored the name to Notable Alumni/sports with sources. My point about other entries in this section which also fail your point 2 (or even without a source of any kind), is that the swift deletion of a particular name by an active editor, without applying the same criteria to the other names listed, gives an impression (rightly or wrongly) that the editor is being selective and may have an agenda of some kind. Whilst I am positive of the accuracy of my entry, I believe it would be a little presumptuous of me to remove those of who I have no knowledge. I believe this article is different to the vast majority of Wiki's in that as an esteemed place of learning, the school would (or should) periodically monitor these entries and delete any found to be fictitious.Theirishslave (talk) 22:38, 25 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Your recent edit to Balmain, New South Wales appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline.

  Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Balmain, New South Wales. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Your edit summaries on this page are personal attacks. Meters (talk) 06:42, 13 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Coll

edit

I undid your entry there. A lengthy obituary about a clansman may be important information in an article about that individual, perhaps also in an article about the clan. It is however quite unnecessary in an article about the island he was associated with - per WP:UNDUE. Ben MacDui 11:58, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I undid your deletion of my entry. I completely disagree with your assessment. It is included because it pertains to the last resident Laird of Coll after 600 years rule of the island by his family, not per say because he happens to be a clansman. I am also of the opinion that the information is valuable and important because the obituary appeared in a colonial Tasmanian publication and doesn't seem to be available from any other U.K. source.
