My Draft

Hey Magnolia, was hoping if you had some time you could take a look over at my draft, Draft:James Kall. It got declined but i fixed the problem and then added more citations. Wanted to get your thoughts, talk to you soon! Elvisisalive95 (talk) 22:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Elvisisalive95: Sorry I haven't had time. I'll look soon. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 15:57, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat Mag, thank you! Elvisisalive95 (talk) 16:27, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Half Barnstar
	You have no idea how much I appreciate you reverting the closing of that discussion. You have renewed my faith in the process and earned my respect. Thank you! Mkstokes (talk) 14:11, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mkstokes: Hey thanks! You want to edit these US politics articles? You need to eat a bowl of nails for breakfast...without milk! Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:20, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need some advice. The administrator's edits that you reverted, TarnishedPath, is now threatening me with adverse action after I warned him that his suppression/closing of the discussion was not appropriate. Is there any other action I can take beyond the warning? Mkstokes (talk) 15:35, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mkstokes: That editor is not an administrator, see here and WP:LA. I haven't looked at the discussions you've had, but my general advice is chill, do your own edits, keep off their talk page, don't engage, and be as civil as possible. And once you report another editor's behavior, your own will also be scrutinized, so always best to not engage. I hope this helps. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 15:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Yes, this helps very much. Long story short, I had a past interaction with that editor that got me topic banned and them warned to remain civil and to refrain from future edit warring. I'll take your advice. Mkstokes (talk) 16:22, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gary

Magnolia677 - My name is Christopher Harris, director of Redevelopment for the City of Gary. I am concerned you are misinformed regarding the Indiana Dunes National Park boundaries, I highly encourage you to reference any official National Park Service map or any map for that matter to see that the Western most boundaries of the park are indeed within Gary's city limits and technically begin in Downtown Gary. The mayor and I three weeks ago had a very positive conversation with the Indiana Dunes National Park Rangers who are great partners with the city of Gary to install more trailhead branded signage in Gary reinforcing the park's presence in as the parks western most gateway in Downtown Gary which wraps around the westside Lake Street Beach. As a representative of the City of Gary, I'd like it to be known who I am in this space and have the ability to share Gary's truth... Outside of this, I appreciate how you and other users have incrementally enhanced the quality of Gary's page. ElbertHGary (talk) 16:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ElbertHGary: Good Lord! "Director of Redevelopment for the City of Gary". As we say here in the Delta, you must be busier than a church fan in August. Not so long ago, Gary was the "Magic City", with excellent infrastructure and progressive schools. Many happy families started out there, with dad making a good wage at the mill. Christopher, a snappy motto might be all you need...how about "Make Gary Great Again!". --Magnolia677 (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My reverted edits

What gives you the right to just revert my edits which are well established facts??? Tanzania is home to the largest swahili speakers that is well known fact like Russia is the largest country in the world. How dare you just revert my edits without even trying to source them? What about the new HDI that came up from UNDP? As a long time editor, couldn't you just add sources from the facts rather than just revert people's edits??? People who live in a certain place and know their facts have to depend on stupid sources from people living in Europe or USA. To tell me every single detail is sourced in all pages??? You guys are a nuisance and you only exist to stop mostly Africans from making any positive valuable contributions for their own countries.

Chandler, Arizona

Hello Magnolia. I hope you are having a fine day. I corrected your oversight on healthcare in Chandler. There are, in fact, two main hospitals in the city which are served by Dignity Health and Banner Health. If you would like more details, either contact me or review what I changed. Thank you, and have a wonderful day. Ariauroic (talk) 04:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

Hello, I have recently been updating the Dulles International Airport site with a considerable amount of information that I have spent many hours researching through the Official Airline Guide (OAG). I am a 66 year old commercial aviation historian and the OAG is a highly reliable source, the best that exists. Can you please reimput my edits with this valuable historic information that Wikipedia is known for? Thank you! Chuska03

edits to Rockport Texas

Magnolia677, I'm not sure why you deleted my edits. I'm an expert in the subject of Rockport, Texas, and have been a resident for over 40 years. I'm deeply involved in the community and have contributed 1000s of photographs, maintain a database of historical photos, and have the largest following on the subject on social media. The current main photograph was contributed by me on wiki commons. Did I do something wrong? Were my edits not factual, or are my citations not helpful? Please help me to better understand how I can contribute to a page I have vast knowledge and insight about..... 72.2.225.148 (talk) 11:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of your edits were unsourced, or were sourced by external links. Wikipedia does not accept original research. --Magnolia677 (talk) 15:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Fort Pierce, Florida

I am reverting your removal of the city attorney and clerk information from the infobox for that article. As I have already pointed out to you in the edit summary, your reasoning (non-notable) is not applicable -- the notability guidelines *do not* apply to the content within an article, they apply to the creation or retention of an article itself. If you want to remove that content from the article, please make a policy-based argument for doing so. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 19:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Removal of Murrieta Parks

I am writing because you removed my contributions to parks and recreation for Murrieta, California. I know that the formatting could have been better. Ideally, I would have like for the listing to be more concise, but I lacked the skills to present it in an efficient way.

I was trying to follow the example of "parks and recreation" on Irvine, California in listing the individual parks of Murrieta, California. On your edit you wrote that none of the parks were notable. I disagree with that statement. I think that a list of the parks in a city is a reasonable addition for any page that purports to describe a city. If there were a way to present the parks better, I think that would be a better alternative to removing it completely. If you look at the example on Irvine, California, I wanted to present the parks as they did bulleted columns, so as not to take up too much space. But when I attempted to replicate the formatting, I wasn't able to make it look the same. Z3lvs (talk) 04:15, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Z3lvs: Thanks for writing. I removed the long list of neighborhood parks because it was unencyclopedic, and Wikipedia is neither a webhost nor an extension of the city website. Please have a look at WP:NOT, and if you disagree, please start a discussion on the article talk page. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 10:30, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the edits I have made at Irvine, California#Parks and recreation. Readers don't want to see a long list of dog parks and splashpads, but they are interested in the city's history and important features. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:29, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lewisville, North Carolina

Hello.

I have made two attempts to edit the history section of my town's Wikipedia Page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewisville,_North_Carolina) in collaboration with the head of our Historical society. The first reversion was understandable, as the edit was largely based upon an interpretation of history.

The second edit, however, was copied directly from a local history of the town with the author's express permission. I included a proper citation of the passage and even prefaced it with the statement "The following is quoted directly from Images of America: Lewisville by Merrikay Everett Brown and Darla Morgan Johnson in association with the Lewisville Historical Society:", and yet the edit was still reverted.

A specific justification for the reversion was not included, only a vague statement about improper citation, even though a properly formatted citation was included. Please tell me what is necessary to digitally preserve my town's history without it being immediately scrubbed from the Internet upon publication.

Thanks for your help. Cgraysonwatson1996 (talk) 22:56, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cgraysonwatson1996: You've never edited that article. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:04, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ft. Morgan - McCool

Why did you write that McCool is not notable? Symptom targeted intervention, which she created, has its own Wik page.

Yailin la mas viral edit

Hi, I see you removed my edits on the Yailin la mas viral article. The source was instagram, but I simply added it because it was photographic evidence that can easily (and constantly) be seen by going on there and seeing the posts and comments. May I please edit it again with the same source? Ashketchum64 (talk) 18:37, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ashketchum64: Wikipedia does not accept original research or personal interpretations of facts not explicitly stated in sources. This is especially so on WP:BLP's. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:58, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you a fan of hers? Don't you know she puts makeup on her baby daughter? She does so to try to make her look "sexy". Do you have a daughter? Do you think this is RIGHT?! Shame on you, CREEP.

Edit revert on Pepsi, I didn’t deliberately violated Wikipedia’s MOS:OL policy, Sorry about that, please be nice

Hi,

I just wanted to regard on your revert of my edit on Pepsi.

Look, I’m not trying to deliberately vandalise or disrespect events.

I only do this because I’m trying to help improve Wikipedia to be a better website for everyone or better user experience.

I didn’t even know that linking “Israel” would violate Wikipedia’s MOS:OL.

All edit reverts (so far) weren’t vandalism by me. They were mistakes and I didn’t know that they violated, wasn’t needed or unacceptable on Wikipedia.

Please don’t block me from editing Wikipedia. PEPSI697 (talk) 11:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PEPSI697: Hey friend, not a problem! It was just a routine revert. Sounds like you've had some bad experiences here. You need to really screw up to get blocked, and you'll usually have a ton of warnings first. I'm not even an admin. Hey, cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate it. PEPSI697 (talk) 00:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HDI

"Unnecessary" is not a valid reason to revert multiple edits. If there's a policy that can be cited or a previous discussion as to why we don't include HDI in city articles, please let me know. However, city HDIs are currently widespread in, for example, city articles in Brasil. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 15:02, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SelfieCity: Randomly adding "HDI" to the infobox of several US city articles is contrary to MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Is there a policy or previous discussion supporting your edits? WP:USCITIES doesn't even mention HDI. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:49, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for your edit on the Lansing, IA page. I know it was very minor, but I've been meaning to reword that whole article, and you just made my job a little easier. Lansing is a town that I have close connections with and there is much more to be fixed with its page, so I'd be happy to work with you if you'd like! <3 thanks again, Finn Fishy-Finns (talk) 23:48, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change of updates

Hello, hope you are okay. Yesterday I made a few changes to Wikipedia information of the city of Kitwe. Surprise you reverted to the old information where Christopher Kangmbe(kaya spelling) is still the Kitwe Mayor when in fact not. It would have been nice to keep the changes as the information was genuine and I planned to add citations todays for the data without citations.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

I am sure you are aware but it is not on your list of aware topics, so for form's sake and because it is a requirement. Selfstudier (talk) 23:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BLPTALK

I will not template you, but this is a reminder that you cannot say what you said on Talk:Hunter Biden laptop controversy. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: Will you be addressing the silly comments preceding mine? Yesterday's testimony was stomach-turning, and they make jokes. Please deal with them as well. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:49, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Are you seriously comparing your comment to a joke about Four Seasons Landscaping? That's not in good taste, but it's not on the same level as what you wrote. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:53, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu:Moreover, writing "Giuliani debased himself" is insulting and a BLP violation, per WP:BLPTALK. Please strike the comment and notify the editor. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair, that is also unacceptable personal opinion, though not as bad as what you wrote. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:11, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Muboshgu: Oh please, that was literally the stomach-turning testimony yesterday. Hunter--her dead husband's brother--began a romantic relationship with her, and "introduced" her to crack cocaine. "It was a terrible experience I went through, and I'm embarrassed and I'm ashamed". Have some sensitivity to those of us who still value honor, and view vulnerable women like Hallie as victims. Magnolia677 (talk) 17:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of what anyone says in court testimony, you cannot call a BLP loathsome. Keep your opinions to yourself. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't write that about "debasing". See the talk page. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:26, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's concerning when two lonely people make mistakes. That's their lives they are screwing up. Been there, done that. My concern is that you should not be so sensitive about other editors' comments. Around here we tend to have thicker skin so we don't waste everyone's time and detract from what's important, which is the topic of the thread. Don't report such minor things as BLP violations, as that sets off bells and whistles and alarms, and then all kinds of shit and wasted time happens. You reported a minor blip and started a forest fire. (You have wasted the time of everyone who has responded to you.) Better to just go to the editor's talk page and talk to them, if you really feel a burden to make a mountain out of a molehill and offend them. Really? Is it worth it? Take the high road and ignore it next time. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have the nerve to falsely accuse me and then dare to delete my comment? Real class act. Right up there with Hunter. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:22, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Valjean: My apology. When you replied "Okay, a bit funny, but seriously, where should it be added?", it legitimated the ridiculous comment made by the preceding editor, and I confused you with them, thinking you agreed with their silly reply. I'm now assuming your response was to the legitimate question by the IP at the top. Sorry for confusing you with that editor. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:38, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I see how that can happen. All's good. Carry on. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:09, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

nigerian americans

@Magnolia677

Hi I justified my replacing of this phrase : ''[...]Most of the people who were stolen from Nigeria were likely to have been Igbo or Yoruba. Other ethnic groups such as the Fula and Edo peoples were also captured and transported to the colonies in the New World.[...]''

by saying that : ''When citing other ethnic groups from Nigeria, mentioning the Hausas is more relevant than mentioning the Fulanis. The Hausas constitute the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, accounting for 30% of the population. Specifically, they make up 71 million out of the total 230 million citizens. In contrast, the Fulanis represent less than 6% of the population.''

and you told me : ''This is not supported by the source cited''

I do not understand you want to put a source for the Hausa population in Nigeria even though it is common knowledge ? I want to understand what I need to do when I edit I am new, thank you for your help. Hamdan Turji (talk) 17:18, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations for Amesbury, Salisbury, and Attitash Lake

Hi Magnolia,

I appreciate the follow up you're putting into checking the links for my citations in the Amesbury, Salisbury, and Attitash Lake articles. I think we're both working to uphold and continually improve the high editorial standards of Wikipedia. I revisited the links you said were broken and found that they were still functioning correctly for me; perhaps a browser issue?

You stated that the claims were not supported by the citations in question. In the Attitash Lake article, I cited a book of New England Native place names that specifically states Lake Attitash means "a huckleberry" and a book of native land titles that refers to Attitash Lake as previously being called Kimball's Pond but then being restored to its indigenous name meaning huckleberry. I added page numbers to the citations to clarify, and included a note in the talk page.

In the Amesbury article, I used citations that refer to the history of Salibury because Amesbury did not split from Salisbury MA until 1666, after the time frame in question which is the initial settlement process. I added a note as you requested in the Talk article and added page numbers to the citations.

Please let me know if you have any more concerns.
