November 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Catalyzzt. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on AndrÃ© Boisclair, 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! Catalyzzt (talk) 14:29, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Aishik Rehman. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Talbert W. Swan II, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. 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. Aishik Rehman (talk) 16:38, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Now I understand why you undid my edits. Can I put a link to his Twitter page as a source? FaChol (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Elijah Muhammad. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Adakiko (talk) 12:54, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continued edits on Elijah Muhammad[edit]

Hi, I see you keep editing the lead to Elijah Muhammad. Definitely glad you're helping improve the page, thanks. To explain why I keep reverting, I added a discussion on the talk page (Talk:Elijah Muhammad#Continued edits in lead) if you want to discuss. - Procyonidae (talk) 02:50, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am relatively new on Wikipedia, so I am still in the process of learning.

I did the edits because I think that the entry of an article is what the reader should know at first about the subject, particularly if the reader reads the article for the first time. For example, the Joe Biden's article explains in the first phrase that he is "an American politician who is the 46th President of the United States". That's the most important thing to know about Joe Biden. Concerning Elijah Muhammad, the most important thing to know about him is that he was a "religious leader who headed the Nation of Islam, a Black supremacist, a Black separatist". The details are explained in the lead and the rest of the article, but the reader not knowing anything about him will already have an idea of who he was.

I understand that it is redundant to say "Black supremacist" in the entry because that's well explained in the rest of the article, but we still can improve the page.

Thank you and have a good day! FaChol (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gacy[edit]

Could you add a reference to your edit please? Specifically Viaticum. Thank you. Regards, Kieronoldham (talk) 01:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I just added a link! In this edit, I decided to not specify Viaticum because this is included in the last rites, thus it would be redundant to say so. Thank you and have a good day! FaChol (talk) 02:11, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, thanks for reminding me to always include links in edits! I sometimes forget, but this is important to make Wikipedia rigorous and accurate! FaChol (talk) 02:15, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If I don't verify the edits, someone else will either before me or shortly afterward, FaChol. Not being pedantic (Wiki. is an uphill struggle), but the article is GA and needs to maintain the status. Regardless of attributes to religious recitals and observations, death row-in particular states-may hold restrictions. Thanks again. All the best for 2023.--Kieronoldham (talk) 02:25, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Happy new year! FaChol (talk) 02:29, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me with...massive bug Hello, on the page "Maurice Duplessis", there is a geneological tree box that I completed with names. When I put the reference link inside the box, the box disappeared and now it is written "Cite error: the ref tag has too many names (see the help page)". I tried to undid some of my edits, but the same message is shown. Now I feel bad because I know some people have worked on this genealogical tree before me and this bug has hidden their work. I wish to put this genealogical tree back and to expand this box, so to not pressuring the box with all my edits. Thank you very much in advance. FaChol (talk) 21:30, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics[edit]

You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

(I have seen the apology and there are no worries from me, but I wanted to make sure you're formally aware of these guidelines.) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:44, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes of course! Thank you! FaChol (talk) 20:48, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023[edit]

I reverted your edit to the Mizzy (prankster) article. We need to be careful about:

Biographies of living people
Allegations of criminality

The need for reliable sources about allegations of unproven criminality is high. The source you used was poor. And it put "hijacking" in quotation marks, suggesting it was not really hijacking, which is probably because the allegation it reported was probably something less than a hijacking. Please don't add content like this unless it is reported clearly in a high quality source (examples include well respected news sources like BBC). CT55555(talk) 20:26, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great work[edit]

Great work on the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party article! I'm currently working on the central committees of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the League of Communists of Yugoslavia but I am planning to edit the Chinese central committee pages. Want to team up?

The tables I use are a bit different and look like this: Members of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, 12th Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Presidency of the 9th Congress of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and Central Auditing Commission of the 25th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. If you have any suggestions to improve those templates please let me know! TheUzbek (talk) 20:19, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! It has already been several months that I am on Wikipedia, and I am glad to hear that my work is recognized.

Yeah, I would like to team up! However, I am not very familiar with Vietnam and Yugoslavia, but I can learn and do my best to improve those articles. Cheers! FaChol (talk) 22:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
