ANI notice
[edit]Your recent editing history at Dianne Morales shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. Calm down, dude - you have a notice here. Sometimes it's better to take a breather and come back when things have calmed down.--A21sauce (talk) 17:06, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- @A21sauce: You think I should go to the Talk page with a brand new IP user that's only made edits I find unfitting of Wikipedia? That sounds productive. What is your rationale for listing a non-notable membership and using it to list an endorsement that does not meet Wikipedia policy regarding political endorsements?? Your ANI Notice is completely bogus, and you're using intimidation tactics to keep something on a page that you want but that doesn't belong. Shoestringnomad (talk) 17:26, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
[edit]
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. A21sauce (talk) 20:47, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- FYI, A21sauce attempted to file a report about you, but I have rejected the report out of hand. —C.Fred (talk) 20:48, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you, C.Fred. I was wondering what was up. :) Shoestringnomad (talk) 20:50, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- So you erased it, C.Fred, is that even allowed? You hate women too, fan~tastico.--A21sauce (talk) 21:04, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
- Well that took a hard turn.... Shoestringnomad (talk) 21:07, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
2021 New York City mayoral election
[edit]02rufus02 (talk) 00:05, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi! I'm so sorry for all of the edits on the mayoral page. I was just trying to put in endorsements as I saw them, and I didn't realize that I was causing problems. I'll try to be more careful going forward (also, I'm sorry for not writing this sooner, I hadn't figured out how to do this). Also, I know I had added some second choice endorsements earlier from the NYC congressional members, but do those not count? One more thing, how to you add the descriptions when you make an edit on a page? I wanted to do that in the past for better clarity, but I couldn't figure out how to add it.
- @02rufus02: You have received numerous notices about the need to use reputable sources. Answers to your question about proper sources for the endorsements of candidates can be found, as mentioned several times, at WP:ENDORSE. Adding endorsements of second-choice ranking is appropriate when reputable sources are used to support that information. Since you profess to now know how to add summaries, you've been notified about adding summaries and given an explanation of how to add them on your talk page. If you do not receive notifications about posts to your talk page, I recommend that you go to your notifications and updating your settings. Shoestringnomad (talk) 00:17, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
2021 New York City mayoral election endorsements
[edit]|Hi, I made an edit to the 2021 New York City Mayoral Election Wikipedia page and I believe it was adding Larry Kudlow's endorsement of Curtis Sliwa. I attached a link to Sliwa's website with the video where Kudlow endorses him and I am not sure how this source is not valid. It has been touted on his website and social media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrJRSmith (talk • contribs) 21:34, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- @MrJRSmith: Hi, thanks for checking in. I know it's frustrating to have edits reverted. The reason I removed the endorsement was that it was sourced using the campaign's website, which is not an independent source, and I did not find a reputable source to replace it with. Also, for individuals endorsing a campaign, that individual's social media cannot be used. You may want to review WP:ENDORSE, where you will find Wikipedia's policies regarding endorsements. If you have any issues with or questions about these, you should feel free to create a section on that policy's talk page. I hope this answers your question. Shoestringnomad (talk) 21:45, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi @Shoestringnomad I will be sure to keep that in mind in the future but I would argue that the website showed a video of the endorsement. I will be sure to link another additional source with these things in future edits. Thanks
- @MrJRSmith: The video in question was posted by a YouTube account with the name "Maria Sliwa, M. Sliwa Public Relations". It is not verified and no copyright attribution was given to Fox in the description. Whether that can be accepted is up for debate; I would argue it should not be accepted. You're better off finding an independent news source to cite endorsements. Shoestringnomad (talk) 23:51, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
A cup of coffee for you!
[edit]Thanks for responding to me. I was pushy and forward because I wanted conversation to proceed. I think I was too forward, and I appreciate that you firmed adhered to the consensus process. I should not have put you in the position to need to call for order. I apologize for that, and now I will see the conversation through to the end. Consensus is best, but I did want to try for inclusion, even though that is not an excuse to push quickly.
I appreciate you watching the election page now, while it is a current event. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC) |
Since you asked...
[edit]...I think that the article is ridiculously long and detailed. It takes up as much space as Middle Ages. Drmies (talk) 00:41, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Drmies: Obviously this subject is just as consequentual. No WP:RECENTISM here, nope. Shoestringnomad (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- The fate of the world probably depends on every single data point. Drmies (talk) 13:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
Deletion
[edit]If you feel material is inappropriately redundant, discuss removal on the talk page - of the second instance. Don’t delete the first. We need to indicate what preliminary means up front. Don’t hide the lede. --2603:7000:2143:8500:49F3:B473:DA95:D806 (talk) 23:46, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

[edit]If they specify in their own article menas doesn't use uppercase letters in their name, perhaps it stands to reason their editorial team ensure they don't violate that wish in their title. My criticism stands. Rusted AutoParts 03:18, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Rusted AutoParts: As does mine. lol Editorial teams don't oversee individual article titles on these websites. Just please read a cited source before judging it by its cover next time. You can learn a lot. Shoestringnomad (talk) 03:23, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- The assumption was that the source was being used to cite their casting, not so much their desire to be named with solely lowercase letters. This isn't the only instance of an individual having their own citation by their name in the article, Curtiss Cook has one too. I don't find it especially fair to hold anything against me when there wasn't more apparent clues as to why their name was formatted as such. I've added notes regardless to prevent future confusion. Rusted AutoParts 03:27, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- As have I. And they were ignored. Hence my frustration with people editing based on titles, who also ignore edit descriptions but think theirs will avoid future confusion. Shoestringnomad (talk) 03:29, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, not everyone is reading the edit descriptions, or at the least sees the prior edit about this particular issue. I at the least left a note you cannot miss when making an edit, any future changes are a direct defiance. Also why not add a source specifically about their name, and not one that can be just seen as casting confirmation. Rusted AutoParts 03:34, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Good luck finding an article specifically about the name! Please replace the current source with what you find. Shoestringnomad (talk) 03:38, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- If there is not a source that exists specifically about the name, so be it. I wasn't challenging you to find one, my overall point was that, it's very easy to not see that the source was there to note why their name is formatted with all lowers, the Variety headline certainly doesn't help with that. I'll add the direct quote into the cite, so when the source is hovered over, the quote will appear. Rusted AutoParts 03:44, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- I would like to highlight though Variety is constantly uppercasing menas' last name throughout the article as well, but what's important is the specific quote has been included to the source link so that in addition to the hidden note leaves absolutely no excuses for anyone changing it.
