Disambiguation link notification for January 22[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Boxing styles and technique, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Terry McGovern and Bob Foster (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Problem with your custom signature[edit]

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 18:31, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

February 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Sangdeboeuf. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Gina Carano, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Sangdeboeuf (talk) 05:04, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake, I had to relearn the coding for sources again. Thank you. Tornader 05:36, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! Sangdeboeuf (talk) 07:56, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove reliably-sourced contents of articles without explaining why in either an edit summary or on the talk page. Forbes contributors and the New York Post are not reliable anywhere, least of all in biographies of living persons. Thank you. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 08:00, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I was correcting the Washington Post article stating that she was an ardent Trump supporter, and my own independent research was that the description was false, as well as the accusation that she stated that there widespread voter fraud was false as well, and feel some of the articles have become victims of their own bias on the issue. Tornader 14:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

We go by published sources, not users' independent research. See WP:No original research. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 19:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes and New York Post are not considered reliable sources, but Vox Den of Geeks, and Vulture are? I’m not following the logic there, because Vox has been called out for inaccurate or biased reporting by https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/vox/. Tornader 16:15, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Forbes "contributors" are not part of the regular publication. Media Bias/Fact Check is an amateur website. See WP:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. Thanks. —Sangdeboeuf (talk) 19:41, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I just strongly disagree that Vox is more reliable than the New York Post, they are basically the left wing version of Breitbart.com. And I think we should be able rely on public info if the published source has false info, but that’s just my opinion. Tornader 16:04, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
