:A person is capable of putting anything on their website, so we limit what can be cited to things that aren't self-serving -- i.e., there'd be no reason to lie about them.

Stop reverting my edits.

You keep calling my edits opinions. What specifically is an opinion? Can you give an example. Stop abusing this website and reverting the hard work of other editors.

You may want to start looking at Talk:David G. Stork. --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:50, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Age and birth year in Lillian Randolph

Thank you for supporting my removal of the unsourced date of birth in Lillian Randolph. I appreciate your follow-up edit and the comments that you posted on the article's talk page. I don't understand why some editors seem to prefer unsourced dates and ages over what is found in reliable published sources. I'm glad that the changes caught your attention.

EU DisinfoLab - World News Network

In 2020, the EU DisinfoLab found that the World News Network was part of a disinformation campaign that helped Asian News International reproduce negative reports produced in Brussels and Geneva, that were pro-India and negative in iterations against Pakistan and China.[7]

The above sentence was included on both pages. "Big News Network" and "World News Network". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_News_Network and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_News_Network

Seems the sentence has been deleted from "Big news Network" page because they are not at fault.. so same should be the

These links don't talk about World News Network since it is a news aggregator collecting articles from many sources. https://www.voanews.com/south-central-asia/pakistan-demands-un-eu-investigate-fake-pro-india-ngos-media https://www.dawn.com/news/1594928

No, it looks like it was deleted from the Big News Network page because the person adding it did a lot of damage to the article when doing so. That it is not listed on those other articles does not mean that it is not in the EU report, nor that it is not relevant. Indeed, four pages of the 89 page report were devoted to WNN (and more for BNN.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:00, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article

Hey NetGertler, I need your help with something. I’ve been trying to request edit to be removed on the Charles Martinet article, but my request keeps getting declined. Is there any chance you could help out of that’s ok? 97.33.66.176 (talk) 18:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC) 97.33.66.176 (talk) 18:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They were right to turn it down. I can see no reason for the edit that you request. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:51, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It’s ok, I understand. I’m very sorry if I wasted your time on this. I sincerely apologize. 97.33.65.199 (talk) 20:46, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Made | Nous

Hi! Thanks for the heads up on what a "minor edit" is ... I'll keep that in mind.

I don't quite understand the (polite) accusation of COI on the Made / Nous page--I don't work for Canada Media Fund, nor am I Mathieu Chantelois (as was suggested previously)! I think Made | Nous is doing some important work in terms of representation, diversity, etc. in Canadian film and television and thought they should have a better Wikipedia page. I had tried to add the logo, but it was rejected--any advice there? Thanks! Blipblip88 (talk) 00:14, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
