Can you add a listing?

Hi - I figured out how to enter this request directly. Can you please remove this from your talk page entirely? Very sorry - newbie here!

I've never reached out before, but I am hoping you can help with an edit to this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monuments_and_memorials_removed_during_the_George_Floyd_protests

Under the section, 1.5 - Removals under consideration.

• Michigan - The Allendale Township board will vote on June 30, 2020, on whether to keep a statue depicting a Confederate and Union soldier standing back to back with a young slave crouched down between them.

Here is an article:
https://www.woodtv.com/news/ottawa-county/protesters-demand-confederate-statue-to-be-removed/

And another article:
https://www.woodtv.com/news/ottawa-county/twp-sup-board-plans-to-keep-confederate-soldier-statue/

Thank you for your efforts to help keep people well informed!

@Concerned BLM: If the statue will remain, it probably shouldn't be mentioned in an article about statue removal. Thanks so much for reaching put to me!MagicatthemovieS (talk) 02:06, 29 June 2020 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS

Hi - Understood, but I only put it in the reference in the section "1.5 Removals under consideration" which has similar listings of things that are up for votes. FYI - I don't know how to ping or delete this exchange on your talk page, but I'd like to delete, if possible?

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. I didn't see any information in the article listing this as a "natural horror" film, nor did Allmovie list it as such, nor did List of natural horror films list this film. DonIago (talk) 06:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, you may be blocked from editing. Given that I notified you about this previously and you proceeded to make essentially the same edits, I'm forced to assume you're now intentionally inserting this erroneously.

I'm Yours (Jason Mraz song)

Hi. Star Tribune review says "Mraz, well, he would never hurt you. That's been clear for years, but never more so than on his 2008 hit "I'm Yours," one of the most indelible pop songs of the last decade. "I'm Yours" found an unlikely counterpart in "Hey, Soul Sister," released the following year by the band Train. Both were expressions of fealty, and both indicated the continuing vitality of maligned soft rock."

New York Times review also the same description "“I’m Yours” found an unlikely counterpart in “Hey, Soul Sister,” released the following year by the adult-contemporary rock band Train. Both were expressions of fealty, both used ukulele (or, at least, very tightly strung guitar), and both indicated the continuing vitality — if not originality — of soft rock, a genre maligned to the bones but stubborn."

The same staff writer recalls "both artists" and it's about Jason's and Train's artistry in music, not about both single songs (I guess). 2402:1980:24E:2ED8:8E10:743F:4722:2B9A (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I added a ref which is New York Times rather than Star Tribune in Jason Mraz page infobox. What do you think? 2402:1980:824D:35C4:BAD:F9FC:4A88:8C5C (talk) 08:01, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Sorry. I misread. The staff writer says "both used ukulele" and "both indicated the continuing vitality of maligned soft rock" refers to both songs. My apologies. 2402:1980:251:EF45:95D7:ACFC:195D:6725 (talk) 16:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

March 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Shout at the Devil, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. SolarFlash^Discussion 20:40, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Shout at the Devil

Regarding this edit [1], Satanism and obscenity are two very different things. Satanisn deals with idealogical and philosophical beliefs, while obscentiy deals with acts deemed offensive, typically of a sexual nature. Not the same things at all. If you insist on edit warring over this, please provide reliable sources that will confirm your point of view. Otherwise, dispute resolution will be sought. Continued edit warring on your part will result in a loss of your editing privileges. Enjoy your day. SolarFlash^Discussion 15:04, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

In Can't Get You Out of My Head, I added ref says dance-pop which is more accurate than dance music which is an umbrella term.

Hello,

I thought I would let you know that your message about "Closed on Sunday" being a ballad was accidentally posted on the GA review page instead of the article's talk page, though I moved it for you; in the future, remember not to click the edit link on the GA review section of the talk page because that leads to editing the review. --K.

Nathanael

I see that Nathanael (disciple of Jesus) was moved to Nathanael (follower of Jesus). John 21:2 says "Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee’s sons,* and two others of his disciples." This would seem to suggest that Nathanael was also a "disciple", if not necessarily an apostle. Manannan67 (talk) 00:52, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

(Don't Fear) The Reaper

Hi MagicatthemovieS, I'm writing you this message to inform you that Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was recorded in 1975. Produced by M. Krugman, S. Pearlman, and D. Lucas. I have the essential Blue Oyster Cult CD compilation produced by Bruce Dickinson. Authored by Tom Terrell. Released in 2003. It has liner notes with a list of songs showing release dates and also showing recording dates. I viewed "(Don't Fear) The Reaper, and I looked at the recording date, it said 1975. And I also watched Blue Oyster Cult being interviewed on the subject of "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," on you tube, they said it was recorded in 1975. So on Wikipedia, the single, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" shows 1976 on the recording date. So on the Wikipedia recording date, it needs to show 1975 instead of 1976. I'm just bringing that to your attention. Sincerely, Hinkgoyd. September 7, 2020. 11:47 PM. Eastern Time. Hinkgoyd (talk) 03:47, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Virgil/Vergil

Hi MagicatthemovieS, I have seen that you've changed the spelling of Vergil to Virgil on two occasions in the Thebaid (Latin poem). As you may know, scholars refer to the poet as both Vergil and Virgil, so it's up to us which variant we choose. The important thing is consistency within an article, which is why I changed your edits back to Vergil. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 09:55, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

"Home studio"

Please revert your "home studio" category additions to Radiohead articles.

These albums weren't recorded in home studios. They were recorded with recorded equipment set up temporarily in unoccupied houses. That's not the commonly understood definition of a "home studio".

Additionally, it's misleading to categorise OK Computer as a concept album when the album itself discusses how this label is disputed. Popcornfud (talk) 20:28, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Unsourced categories

Our verifiability policy applies to categories as well. I've reverted your two recent additions to Thrift Shop and Robert W. Lee IV as unsourced. Nothing is mentioned in the Thrift Shop article about plagiarism; any category added to an article should be backed by a reliable source. The addition of an "imposter" category violates WP:NPOV/WP:SYNTH; while there are sources that cast doubts on Lee's ancestry claims, those sources don't use the word "imposter," but rather suggest that he and his family members are confusing two different Robert Lees. The word "imposter" implies that he knowingly asserted the relationship under false pretenses. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 19:34, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Adding unsourced "imposter" category

Non-defining categories

I see from the above that I'm not the only one who's confused by your additions of categories on Wikipedia. Can I suggest you familiarise yourself with WP:DEFINING before continuing to add categories to articles. In particular, the statement there that "A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently define the subject as having ..." In other words, it's not enough to add a category just because one or two sources support it. JG66 (talk) 17:04, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Cat: Conservatism in the United States

Why is this category redundant that you're removing it from articles? Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:13, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@Beyond My Ken: It's not redundant in and of itself. Sometimes, however, an article belongs to a subcategory of "Conservatism in the United States" so there's no need to use that more general category.

On the basis of what sub-cat are you making these removals? Please stop your edits until this is cleared up. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:15, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

I removed the category if one of the many subcats of "Conservatism in the United States" is there. There are quite a few.

Categorization and edit summaries

Hello! I notice you've been active in adding (or removing) categories, and that many recent edits lacked edit summaries. You might consider using HotCat, if you're not already, which automatically adds an appropriate edit notice. Edit summaries, even brief ones, are strongly encouraged in articles, as they help editors keep better track of changes. The more substantive the change, the more likely an edit summary is needed (and larger edits warrant more detailed summaries than simple or minor ones). Cheers, --Animalparty!

Flag of Florida

Just a quick heads up I rolled back your section header change about the Flag of Florida. I spent some time carving through newspaper archives last year trying to find information about the history of the flag. I don't think there's been much debate about the topic. Not enough to justify calling it "confederate debate." Thanks! Happy editing. - Nemov (talk) 20:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

@Nemov:Is there a heading that's more descriptive than "Additional perspectives?" That phrase is very vague.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 20:38, 5 October 2021 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS

Good question. A broader question could be asked is the section even necessary? The entire idea that the flag is based off the confederate flag comes from one source, a book that appears to lump Florida in with other Southern states who were most definitely using the confederate flag as inspiration. No historian in Florida has been able to make the connection and there's nothing in the written record to support it either. That's why I'm at the very least hesitant to call it a debate. It really is a perspective. - Nemov (talk) 20:47, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of racism category

Why are you removing that category from many pages where it is clearly relevant? When I reverted the removal from White privilege you reverted back rather than taking it to the talk page per WP:BRD. Among the other pages where you removed that category: Anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States, Anti-Chinese sentiment in the United States, Racial bias in criminal news in the United States, Angry white man, Blackface in contemporary art, Blackface, Rugby union and apartheid, Eurocentrism, White supremacy, Racial antisemitism. NightHeron (talk) 08:31, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Because it's redundant in a lot of places because they include more specific categories that fall under the racism category MagicatthemovieS (talk) 12:27, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Looking specifically at White privilege, there are now 7 categories listed. The category "White privilege" (which coincides with the title of the article) is a subcategory of all of the other 6 categories and falls under each of them. So by the same logic we could remove everything but the "White privilege" category, which is the most specific one.

The Wikipedia policy on this allows for exceptions (see WP:ALLINCLUDED). Frankly, I don't completely understand what the term "non-diffusing" is supposed to mean. Hopefully it means that if the larger category is not really redundant but conveys relevant information about the topic, then it can stay. In any case, maybe this should be discussed at an appropriate venue and a consensus reached before you make wholesale removals of the "Racism" category from many pages. Thanks.

Ezra Miller

Hi there, wanted to avoid an edit war. Thank you for sourcing your edit on Ezra Miller’s page. I wanted to clean up the sentence structure a bit and make sure the arrests weren’t mixed up with allegations etc. This included removal of the identifying as Devil, Jesus, Messiah as this is something only currently sourced in one article and will be better at home in the controversy section. I also kept it just as arrests for now as the structure of the sentence on to the child grooming didn’t flow well (accused used twice in the sentence) and I was also unsure why that one was specified over the other allegations as well (kidnapping, housing weapons, inappropriate relationships with various women and cult-like behaviour). Allegations I think will be better at home for now in the controversy section for now until we get a clearer idea on this whole thing. I hope that makes sense and as always I am happy to discuss further! I have also opened this up to discussion on the articles ‘talk’ page. Thank you for your edits and thanks again for sourcing!

Hello, I see you've been warned about this before, but I'll take my time and spell it out for you again. Just because something is the case in other articles, does not necessarily make it right; we have to adhere to our policies and guidelines regardless. "YouTube controversies" is neither verified in the article body nor is it a defining characteristic outlined at our guideline for categorization of people. Since this concerns unverified information about a living person, I will revert again and ask you to refrain from edit warring. Thank you.

WP:POVCAT additions

I see that you've already been alerted by User:TheresNoTime about gender and sexuality discretionary sanctions. You readded the category "Hate speech" to When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment in violation of WP:POVCAT. I see that others have recently cautioned you about improper categorization. I would welcome a dialogue on the talk page, and trust that such may yield insight into other categorization difficulties you may be encountering. You are strongly encouraged to engage and discuss your viewpoints on the talk page rather than simply reverting the removal. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 05:22, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Categories at Mother Teresa

i've reverted your edit to mother teresa – I originally came to your article to ask you why this category was added, but I've just found the article used to support this category.

Having read the WSJ article on her worship by some residents of Calcutta despite their being Hindu or Sikh, but also having had a look over Wikipedia's policies on categorisation, I don't think it's a defining characteristic of hers, and I don't think the category should be added to the article because of one reference with anecdotal testimonies.

I apologise that I didn't take the time to find the reference within the article before reverting, and I'd say your edit is in good faith; but I just don't think her veneration in Hinduism and Sikhism is notable enough to warrant a category.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 23:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Nagol0929. I noticed that you recently removed content from Colorado Springs nightclub shooting without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Kanye West, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you. ––FormalDude (talk) 23:56, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Redundant categories

What's this crap with removing Far-right categories on the pages of neo-fascist organizations? What's your motivation behind this? Are you gonna tell me fascism is left-wing or something? Synotia (moan) 09:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

No, quite the opposite, it's a redundant category if they're already under neo fascist categories. MagicatthemovieS (talk) 15:26, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Please elaborate. Synotia (moan) 15:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

"Fascism" is a subset of far-right politics, so if you put something in the "fascist" category, calling it "far-right" is redundant.MagicatthemovieS (talk) 18:30, 9 February 2023 (UTC)MagicatthemovieS

DYK for The Embrace

On 16 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Embrace, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Glman99 (talk) 14:46, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

As followup to my comment at ANI, my guess is the guidance on gender subcategories is intended to apply to fictional characters as well with the exception of cases when were have equivalent subcategory for male category. When we don't, the same concerns are likely to arise i.e. the ghettoisation issue. Since there is no equivalent category for men, only men (and those who cannot be categorised as either e.g. non-binary) will stay in the main category, but not women which creates a bit of a questionable situation. While Category:Fictional Native American women does not note it is non diffusing this could easily have been just because no one added it. Likewise while Category:Fictional Native American people notes it's intended to be a container category, there's a fair chance that's intended to apply to the further categorisation by tribe and media type. In other words, I strongly suspect in cases where this cannot happen because there is no media type subcategory and the person's tribal affiliation isn't something made clear in the portrayal, both male and female characters are intended to stay in the main category, with female characters also added to the specific female subcategory. While it may seem the ethnicity subcategory issue would apply to diffusion into tribal affiliation, my guess is it does not since it's not considered important to categorise people who's tribal affiliation is known as Native American people. I could be wrong about all this as I'm not particularly involved in categorisation and especially not Native American categorisation. But I do know removal of women from a parent category just because they are in the women subcategory has been extremely controversial both within Wikipedia and outside so you really need to tread carefully if you're going to be doing that. The existence of a women category itself is often controversial, but as long as it exists, due care needs to be taken how to handle it. And as I also mentioned at ANI, being active in discussion when your changes are disputed should significantly improve your understanding of how to handle issues like this.

"Radical leftists"

MagicatthemovieS, I notice you removed direct quotes from Death of Nex Benedict and replaced these direct quotes with wikilinks [4] that seems to muddle one of the critical aspects of the Reactions section in this article. I think we can't presume to know what the speaker means by "radical leftists" and are not doing readers any favors by removing the direct quote and directing readers to a Wikipedia article that may or may not distort what the speaker intends. You also removed a direct quote with similar language [5]. From my view, this is a contentious label in American politics, and not appropriate to wikilink or adopt in wikivoice instead of quote in a contentious Reactions section, which is why I removed the wikilink and used direct quotes. We can discuss this further on the article talk page, but I wanted to bring this to your attention here first to check in about whether you are interested in reverting this change, or wished to further discuss it here. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 17:30, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

sources?

I would appreciate your help with identifying sources for this change to the lead [6], because the article does not seem to reflect this, but I would be happy to find the content and/or sources. There is a lot of content and sources to review. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 07:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
