What Sort of Source Is Needed?

Hello, I made some edits to the entry for Bill Mauk, link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Mauk however, you removed some of the information I put in: (cur | prev) 23:36, 18 January 2018‎ C.Fred (talk | contribs)‎ . . (2,603 bytes) (-55)‎ . . (can't find source for middle name or dob; can find first name and middle initial in several places) (undo | thank) I have been Bill's assistant for 5 years now, the information I entered comes from personal knowledge, but I would be happy to try to provide you with whatever you need as source material. I added Bill's full name - William Lloyd Mauk, and I added some information about his being an attorney responsible for the exoneration of Donald Paradis, for which I provided a source [1]. I am a new user as far as editing, and communicating with anyone in the wiki community go, so please forgive my ignorance, and inability. But, I am quite interested in learning. Thank you.

References

@V.Jensen: One big problem is that personal knowledge is not a reliable source. Wikipedia prefers information that has been published, so that other editors and readers can readily verify it. Given the choice, we also prefer an independent source like a newspaper story or journal article over a self-published source like the subject's website or press release.
Further, because you are employed by Mauk, you have a conflict of interest. While this doesn't prohibit you from editing his article, you do need to be very careful to make sure your edits maintain neutral point of view and are properly sourced. —C.Fred (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred thank you, I will no longer be employed by Mr. Mauk very soon, and I am not paid to make such edits or updates, however I do understand the point you're making. Verifiable sources which are independent are desired. I will look into that and try again. I appreciate your guidance and thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.129.134.98 (talk) 22:18, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dundee Crown High School

About the removal of Chaz Ortiz as a Notable Alumni: I have found a few sources mentioning him going to Dundee Crown. As I do not know enough to add them as citations and what not, let me just show you the web sites. http://www.espn.com/highschool/rise/news/story?id=4159164 https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20150618/sports/150618877/ http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2009-08-07/news/0908050420_1_playstation-pro-dew-tour-free-flow-tour


Please add him back as before, with references as what-not. Thank you!2601:240:4400:747E:FC57:A09:1324:9BAD (talk) 05:41, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Boise State—Idaho rivalry

Well, the rivalry hasn't "ceased to exist" as you pointed out using my comments when I made the original edit. It's definitely not a FBS rivalry anymore due to Idaho's move to FCS. Unless something has changed with how rivalries are listed, especially in the FBS section, there aren't any FCS teams listed there. That's my two cents on the matter.

"Dotard" entry

A few months ago, I included an entry to this word in the List of disability-related terms with negative connotations list, and I have included a source to back this up. Maybe we can redirect this entry to the linked article? Just an idea. It's just that nobody's taken me up on this idea, is all. Johnnysama (talk) 04:20, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fred,

I don't think censorship is good, so I hope you think the same way. I did not edit war. T*U did. Please review carefully my comments on the article's talk page. Noramiao (talk) 14:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fred, You are from the States and you appear to be reasonable. I updated the prices of electricity for each country, I did numbered them, so each time you rank the country by their price they would appear more synchronized and pleasant and standardized and easily to be interpreted.

I don't see anything wrong. Its possible that you do at first, although there won't be any reason for that. But if you study carefully what I did, you would not be just impressed, but way beyond.

At the beginning of the article its written that the prices are listed in USD. Therefore I reflected on that in the table.

The code is more simplified, more accurate, more pleasant.

Anything else is a major league nonsense. Noramiao (talk) 19:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry?

I assume you're offline at the moment and so haven't seen recent edits at you've looked at List of countries and dependencies by population. Since your last edit at User talk:Noramiao I've opened a report at WP:AN3 as a result of Noramiao's edit warring and a new account has appeared. Allylyric has, as of now, made 4 edits, 2 of which have been to revert to Noramiao's version, which looks incredibly suspicious for a new editor. I believe the third edit, to Electricity pricing, looks to be diversionary. The fourth, to Allylyric's talk page , looks written in Noramiao's style. --AussieLegend () 16:49, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@AussieLegend: I just got online; I was catching up on this morning's activities and had just jumped back in. List of countries and dependencies by population is protected, and I believe your suspicions about Allylyric are correct. —C.Fred (talk) 16:52, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For a new editor, Allylyric seems unusually familiar with Wikipedia terminology, for example being aware that CheckUser exists and even abbreviating it to "CU". Perhaps we're looking at two socks here? --AussieLegend () 17:08, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@AussieLegend: I definitely smell socks here, whether Noramiao is the master or a puppet. —C.Fred (talk) 17:31, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Electricity pricing is not a diversion - just have a glance at the recent history!  Velella  Velella Talk   17:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Velella: I meant that Allylyric's reversion of your edit was a diversion to hide the sockpuppetry but I see now that it was actually a reversion to Noramiao's last edit. I didn't realise he had been disrupting that article too. --AussieLegend () 18:21, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Wow !!! You people are witch hunters. Shame on you for what you are doing. Shame. You should be embarrassed of yourselves if you have any dignity and decency.

What a shame !!! You seriously think an adult would do such thing? I'm talking about for what I'm unfairly accused of and for what you are doing. This is not a question, so don't bother answering.

Shame on you !!! Noramiao (talk) 19:44, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Resolving a content dispute

I've noticed there is an active content dispute on Miro Heiskanen and 2018-19 NHL season which seems to have been going on for a few days now between User:Sabbatino and a few IP users.

One of the IP addresses first made an edit on Miro Heiskanen, adding that he would begin playing in the upcoming season. It was removed under WP:CRYSTAL, so the IP added a link to his capfriendly page and noted in the summary that it's also mentioned in his elite prospects page. I investigated this, and I saw nothing wrong with the edit.

He got involved in a dispute with Sabbatino later, involving the addition of the phrase "He never coached an NHL team". After it was removed a few times per the policy on trivial information, the IP simply added that the Pioneers won the championship that year.

Sab removed the edit on the NHL season page as a "bad grammar edit", and the edit on Miro's page as vandalism.

Judging from Sabbatino's reasons to revert the edits on both pages (the most recent reverts) and the actual content of the edits, I can only assume that his edits are in bad faith. Snidester (talk) 23:15, 2 September 2018 (UTC). I have already issued a {{Template:Uw-notvand}} warning to User talk: Sabbatino.[reply]
