Gettysburg

edit

@LR.127: - I agree with most of your recent changes to Battle of Gettysburg, such as the a.m. to am, spacing, and changing "In order to". They improved the quality of the article. My question, out of curiosity, is why remove the web links in "Memoirs and primary sources"? I believe it is helpful for the reader to be able to easily review some sources. What is your reasoning? Just curious, TwoScars (talk) 16:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I didn't have a solid reasoning - it's been reverted. Thanks for checking in. Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Editor experience invitation

edit

Hi LR.127. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:45, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I appreciate the invitation, but I'll wait several months before I'll comfortably consider myself experienced! :-) Cheers. LR.127 (talk) 04:54, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Fair enough. Feel free to pitch in whenever you're comfortable then :) Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 04:57, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Rollback

edit
 

Hi LR.127. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 00:05, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Colnl86 (talk) 11:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Hi LR.127! I have found many official sources in the form of state media. And there are several, not even mentions, but whole interviews with the person about whom the article is about. That's why I didn't understand what needs to be fixed? Tell me, please, I'll look for more sources. Is it just them? ThanksColnl86 (talk) 11:00, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for asking. I recommend you look at WP:BLP and how Wikipedia aims to maintain a style on a living person. I don't think "state media" qualifies as independent coverage.
I recommend you look at your sources that seem to be user-generated (Yandex Docs?) and make sure that every source is reliable. Rather than looking for more sources, try to instead trim down and focus on the most reliable sources.
For more information, you can also ask at the Teahouse on Wikipedia. Hope this helps. LR.127 (talk) 16:17, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

A message from Peaq1

edit

Peaq1 (talk) 19:46, 14 August 2024 (UTC) Hi, you declined the article I submitted "Draft:Emmaojinere" I didn't quite get what you mean by not meeting minimum inline citations and I would appreciate to improve it. ThanksReply

Hello! Wikipedia articles, including your draft, needs to have more sources cited in the article. Especially for a living (or recently-deceased) person, claims like the person's birth and death date need to be reliably sourced. You can check the blue links in this message or at the top of your draft for some official information! Hope this helps - cheers. LR.127 (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
