HiQ 1981 national competition

First national competition in the HiQ program WombatMcDougal (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Gottagotospace removed my addition to the article about the HiQ program alleging a lack of a reliable source. The reliable source is me, Stephen Asbel. I was there, a participant in the competition. That makes me

a primary source which would be more reliable than a second hand publication from after the fact. WombatMcDougal (talk) 01:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate your enthusiasm for the topic, but you do not count as a reliable source. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:You are not a reliable source. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask me or bring it up on the talk page for the article. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:03, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Article in the Green Bay (Wisconsin) Post-Gazette, May 5, 1981. WombatMcDougal (talk) 02:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Ooh, interesting! Thank you very much! I appreciate your dedication to finding this! I've got access to newspapers.com through the Wikipedia Library (you get it after having an account for 6 months plus making 500 edits), but the Wikipedia Library is down right now so I can't check it out. I'll try to remember to take a look tomorrow. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:35, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

This user has been rapidly closing XFD discussions since the very first edit, and while some of them seems legit, some of them are clearly trolling. (ex.attempting to close a discussion before consensus is reached) Is this dude a sockpuppet? LTA? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 01:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know. I don't have the fancy permissions to check IPs. Maybe that one isn't a sockpuppet, but there have been a bunch of accounts with the same username structure (3 numbers at the end) trying to close the Daniel Finley deletion discussion (but no other deletion discussions) prematurely.

Hello Gottagotospace :D Thanks for the article, it seems to provide really thorough coverage. One minor thing though, while forbes articles are sometimes reliable, the ones written by forbes contributors are not. I've removed the citation and the information that is associated with it, feel free to restore with an alternative citation. If you have any questions, ping me! Justiyaya 03:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for your contribution! Gottagotospace (talk) 11:01, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring the content with the new source :D

If you would like to, consider applying for rollback. It allows you to login to WP:Huggle which allows for much better patrolling. You have an impressive amount of recent changes work in essentially a week. I know it does say that applicants should have at minimum of a month patrolling on the page but I'm quite sure many admins would be willing to grant you the permission anyways given the amount of time you spent on patrolling. If you'd like to be safe about it, give it a few more weeks but do consider! Happy editing Justiyaya 14:20, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice! I will consider that, but I think I'll give it some more time to get more experienced first. Gottagotospace (talk) 14:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Wow, you're fast

I went to make an account to properly add a reference to the K'tut Tantri article I edited and when I come back its already added! Im guessing you have the recent edits page open, cause I dont know how you got it done so quickly. Im guessing thats what a patroller does. TheAshran31 (talk) 14:12, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Yup, that's what I do! When I'm patrolling, I have the recent changes page open and refresh frequently. So much comes through that I don't have a chance to look at all of it (that's why lots of people are recent changes patrollers - to increase the chance of each edit being reviewed), but I usually try to at least look at the biography articles. Thanks for your contribution! Gottagotospace (talk) 14:17, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Accidentally broke Maggie Lawson's info box while trying to remove partner history and you corrected before I got the chance within minutes, seriously incredible. Anyway wanted to explain I removed since I don't think it's common to include partner there especially when someone was later married. Don't really edit commonly so will let you overrule if I'm wrong on standards there but was surprised to see it. Traveler1500 (talk) 02:45, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I have seen partner in info boxes before when people dated for an extended period of time (like Maggie and that James guy apparently did), but I doubt it's required and I don't feel strongly about it so I didn't revert you again. Maybe there's a standard somewhere I don't know about, but it seems fine for now! At least her ex-husband is in the box. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:50, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Barnstars!

		The Patroller's Barnstar
		Awarded in appreciation for all of the work you do to ensure high-quality contributions, require citations, and prevent vandalism. Thank you! Jlahorn (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Yay, my first barnstar! Thanks so much! :) Gottagotospace (talk) 14:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Heh, I dont know what that is exactly but congratulations!

Wow this place works quick, in the time it took me to read your response you got an award. Bit overwhelming to be honest. TheAshran31 (talk) 14:34, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

@TheAshran31 The timing was completely coincidental! I awarded for earlier (and consistent) contributions. Jlahorn (talk) 20:32, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Wonder,

Good morning to you!

You wrote to me via. Wikipedia,

That if the edition of me was for fun?

I should rather use the sandbox.

I find that very inappropriate.

Because everything that has been made with heart.

Also has a great unique character, and a soul that?

It should be worth appreciating!

Art is multifaceted, and even more so to be considered when it has been applied with honest and good-hearted love, with good intentions.

I hope you can understand me.

I don't want to use the sandbox, if you mean sandbox, the platform for and against viruses and trojans!

I would like to tell you that I probably know what it is good for.

Best regards, may GOD PROTECT YOU.

Hello! Unfortunately, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a piece of art. Your contributions are welcome if they contribute to our goals, but making art is not one of those goals. If you would like to learn more about how to contribute productively, see Help:Introduction. Have a lovely day! Gottagotospace (talk) 02:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Hello,

Although we disagree in regards to the language of that article, I appreciate you attempting to help educate the confused editor who edited the page repeatedly. I hope the comments we said, plus the warning he received cause him to change his ways and not assume guilt before conviction. Thank you, TanRabbitry (talk) 02:23, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@TanRabbitry Thank you! By the way, I appreciate the civility and good faith you've shown throughout our discussion. I can see you have a clear desire to have a productive discussion about the language in the article, even though we have different opinions. It can be hard to "keep cool" with contentious topics like these. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you again for being consistent in your position. This debate seems to be getting somewhat out of hand. TanRabbitry (talk) 00:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@TanRabbitry I've mostly stepped back from the participation in the topic discussion over the past few days because honestly it got kinda grating to see all the chaos. Based on what I have seen from your conversations (including the ones people have deleted), you might want to consider stepping back from the topic for at least a few days in order to give everyone the chance to calm down a little.

Why did you un-edit my edit? User642 (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Gottagotospace User642 (talk) 18:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

User642 - You added the phrase "an ugly man called" into an article (see here). It sounds like you added your opinion, and I don't think your opinion of this person's appearance is necessary to explain for the plot. We try to keep things neutral and constructive on Wikipedia. Do you disagree? Gottagotospace (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

It wasn't me, my dog walked across my keyboard 🙃 User642 (talk) 18:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

@User642 Haha, well I reverted your "dog's" edit then. If you would like to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia constructively, then head over to Help:Introduction and keep your "dog" off the keyboard. Have a lovely day! Gottagotospace (talk) 18:15, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Don't worry, I threw my dog off a cliff so he won't be causing any more trouble. 😊 Have a wonderful death! User642 (talk) 18:36, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

John Chard

greetings. i, daftnovaseven, have taken note of your clear impertinance regarding my edit to the article of chard. i have no doubt in my mind that jayom is the relaive of John. just you wait until i get my source. your disregard for clear, uncontested fact is sickening, and i have no doubt that the miasma eminating from your home is powerful enough to kill a large mammal. i can only hope that in future your mind is unclouded by whatever bias is causing you to remove my humble edit. may god protect you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daftnovaseven (talk • contribs) 19:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

craig osika

you've removed my edit on craig osika's page and id like to let you know that the information i added was true id know he is my next door neighbor 98.227.140.2 (talk) 23:39, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

There's a few issues with your edits, but I think the most obvious one is the fact that info about his nipple piercings really doesn't belong on Wikipedia. I'll post some resources for you on your talk page to learn more about Wikipedia and our guidelines. Gottagotospace (talk) 23:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I dont think you understand how crucial this information is to his character and how he runs our school. Its more important than the nfl his teaching career. All that anyone needs to know is how HARD and MAGNIFICENT his tits are. Do you want a photo i require a yes or no answer QUICKLY 98.227.140.2 (talk) 23:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Please, no. Gottagotospace (talk) 23:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

adding content

Hi, I didn't use a citation when I edited and added content to the page because I am the person in the wiki page. How can I verify this? Thanks @Mantramantra Mantramantra (talk) 02:51, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for asking! We have rules about how people can contribute to articles that are about themselves. Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects for more information about these rules. If you would like to continue to make contributions to the article about you, please take the actions that those pages say you need to take. Gottagotospace (talk) 02:53, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

RAVI's stage name and legal case

Hello, RAVI has stated in multiple interviews that his stage name is in all caps spelled as RAVI, not Ravi. Please also do not shorten the information on RAVI's ongoing legal case. People use Wikipedia to learn about his ongoing court case and his disabilities. This legal controversy is currently the most important topic about RAVI and it should not be cut from his page. Other public figures also have very detailed information on their pages, with no problems. This is not a violation of Wikipedia's policy, especially since RAVI's case is heading to the level of the supreme court, and is not yet fully resolved. Hyerinbear (talk) 12:48, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Regarding the all caps thing, we don't use all caps when they merely serve a stylistic function (see MOS:ALLCAPS). Also, for the section about his ongoing legal case, I wasn't planning on cutting out significant details about the legal proceedings, but merely condensing some of the language about his disabilities. Like maybe I'd change it to something like "Ravi has talked about having [insert condition] before, including on [TV show name here][citation], [TV show name here][citation], and [TV show name here][citation]." I think that'd be better than each TV show getting an entire sentence of its own, since it makes it more readable. Thank you for expressing your concern, and I will try to be careful when editing his page. Gottagotospace (talk) 12:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying and understanding. RAVI's disabilities are important to his controversy, but since we can't post videos on wikipedia, we decided on the individual descriptions. Hyerinbear (talk) 15:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Kardashians

I totally get your good faith, but the sentence Notably extended relatives include Kendall and Kylie's half-siblings (through Caitlyn and her marriage to songwriter Linda Thompson) makes no sense at all. Two women couldn't marry and have biological children. We also do know that Bruce/Caitlyn publicly identified as a male back then. Your intention is good, but we must respect linguistics and common sense too. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 12:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Update: In order to avoid gender-specific pronouns, I rewrote that as Notably extended relatives include Kendall and Kylie's half-siblings (through Bruce/Caitlyn and their marriage to songwriter Linda Thompson). Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 13:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand your point, but respecting someone's gender identity is more important than pronouns seeming to align in a way that makes "biological" sense. And yes, two women CAN marry and have biological children if one of them is a trans woman who still has fertility :) (I said "still has fertility" because a lot of the time, trans women become infertile due to various parts of the medical transition process.) Plus, I just checked Caitlyn's article, and it turns out she has dealt with gender dysphoria since her youth and even went on hormones for a while before marrying Kris. That lends extra credence to calling her "Caitlyn" and "she/her" throughout the entire article (except briefly mentioning her deadname once maybe). Many trans people spend *years* in the closet because transphobia sucks to deal with, but then eventually for a lot of them, it's like "I'm sick of pretending, I want to be myself even if I have to deal with all sorts of hate for it." Gottagotospace (talk) 13:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Nope. The article has to make sense and be accurate, and that's more important than anyone's sensibility. We all know that guidelines and manuals of style are not rules, yet MOS:IDINFO (listing Caitlyn's example three times or more) is very clear about their birth gender identity being relevant. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 13:26, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

How about we compromise by saying "through Caitlyn's marriage to songwriter Linda Thompson"? That way we don't use a pronoun at all there. Gottagotospace (talk) 13:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Feminine names only, without context? That would cause confusion. Keep in mind that we're talking about marriage and biological children. Linda married Bruce, not Caitlyn. They made those biological children as a man and a woman. I totally get using only the feminine name in other contexts, but here we're talking about gender-specific topics. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 13:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Okay I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but we could compromise by saying "Bruce/Caitlyn's marriage to songwriter Linda Thompson". Better? Gottagotospace (talk) 13:46, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I would have no objection to that. Have a good day 💜 Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 13:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Glad we could come to an agreement! Gottagotospace (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hockey

Thanks for reverting those instances of vandalism so quickly. I don't know if you watch hockey, but a series in the Stanley Cup playoffs just ended so we will have an influx of fans. I will try and stay on top of pages so I can protect them if need be but please ping me if you see something I missed. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:11, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! I don't watch hockey at all actually. I just happened to see the edit in my Recent Changes feed. But it's smart of you to stay on top of the hockey pages at a time like this! Gottagotospace (talk) 03:13, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Ed Winters

Roughly 70-80% of the sources on the Ed Winters draft do not pass WP:RS. It's possible he may qualify for an article but the article needs to be entirely re-written with mostly new sourcing. Psychologist Guy (talk) 14:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

That's my plan! Gottagotospace (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Most of the sources are left over from the old version. Gottagotospace (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
