Please do not add or change content, as you did at Thomas & Friends (series 9), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Where are you getting these UK airdates from? They can't just be changed because someone claims to know otherwise. It's been an ongoing problem at Thomas articles for over a decade now, so please make sure you are not contributing to any further misinformation. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

How do I source something. I just changed some of the air dates from the US versions to the UK versions NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 21:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

I am only editing this off of my Android phone NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 21:23, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

My source is https://ttte.fandom.com/wiki/Series_9 NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 01:09, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Please read WP:CIRCULAR. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Where are you getting these dates from? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 10:47, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Basically any source that is out there. Whether reliable or not. Also, the More About Thomas the Tank Engine Railway Series books was published on 22 September 1986 and I don't think it would at all make sense if the book was published after the adaptations because the base source hadn't been published yet NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 14:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

October 2022

When editing, please check any source that already exists in the article to see if it agrees with any change you make. In the case of your recent changes to Aries (astrology) and Scorpio (astrology) you changed the average date the Sun enters or leaves these signs. Your changes disagree with the cited source, the Oxford online dictionary, which was later renamed Lexico. This source is now offline, but by changing the information and not the source, you are putting words in the mouths of the authors of this source that they never said. This is unacceptable. Jc3s5h (talk) 16:43, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Ok. I changed the Aries one because I was trying to make it consistent with the pisces, rather I mean that they don't have any of the same dates NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 17:27, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Each Wikipedia article stands on its own, and contains citations to reliable sources to support what is in the article. Other Wikipedia articles are not considered reliable because it is written by anonymous editors with no particular credentials. The dates when the Sun enters or leaves an astrological sign is approximate, because the dates change from year to year, and because the dates can be different in various time zones. It is not surprising that different Wikipedia articles will have slightly different values for approximate numbers. Jc3s5h (talk) 18:16, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Well the Britannica search that is cited right by the date range at the top of the page says that it is from March 21st to April 19th. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 20:31, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

I mean dictionary. My mistake NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 20:35, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

November 2022

Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mary G. Montgomery High School, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mr.weedle (talk) 05:29, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Rockingham County, North Carolina, you may be blocked from editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

But why aren't those place in alphabetically order? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 19:15, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

bare url templates

Hi there please don't add bare url templates when it is not needed. Egeymi (talk) 09:58, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Ok, sorry. I was really unsure how it exactly works. Do you want me to delete the unnecessary ones? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 10:00, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

I've deleted them. Thanks for the message. Happy editing, --Egeymi (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Redirects

Greetings! I just came across the redirect created a few weeks ago (Kellogg's Corners, Wisconsin). Thank you for doing so! When creating one, generally everything but the #REDRECT line gets removed. Dolotta (talk) 22:53, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

No problem. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 23:30, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Primary source template

Regarding this edit and this edit: again, the {{primary sources}} template is meant to tag articles that rely "excessively" on primary sources, not articles that just contain a few primary sources

Thanks — DFlhb (talk) 17:10, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

OK, well thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure what exactly counted as primary sources. I thought that any source that had "Apple" or "Mac" in it's name were Primary sources. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

WP:PRIMARY is complex, but essentially it means stuff whose publisher is Apple Inc; basic rule of thumb is: if it's apple.com, or an official user manual, it's primary; otherwise, secondary. Primary doesn't mean "bad", and most editors tend not to tag with {{primary sources}} unless it's pretty dire (personally, I'd only add that tag if the article has fewer than two secondary sources, because then it's at risk of WP:AfD). See for example Debian, which has mostly primary sources yet is a Good article (in most part of Wikipedia, that wouldn't fly, but for computing articles it's often harmless). When there are at least two or three secondary sources, I'd instead tag with {{more sources needed}}

And now for my personal opinion: I personally avoid tagging Apple or Computing articles, because almost no editor is working to fix them, so the tags don't serve their intended purpose or "calling attention" to anything (see this) and just create an overwhelming backlog no one's interested in working on. It's better to fix problems oneself, and doesn't take that long — DFlhb (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

ok, well thanks for the input. Will definitely be useful for future reference. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 18:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Bare reference template again

You're still unnecessarily adding these template to the pages. Egeymi (talk) 07:33, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

ok, there is text around those urls. But the urls themselves are still bare. At least, from my understanding. Check the references section, and look at every single one. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 07:37, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I just checked and there are only two of them. But this still confusing to me. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 07:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

If there is any text around the links these are not regarded as bare ones. --Egeymi (talk) 08:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for clarification. Will be helpful for the future. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 09:07, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

May 2023 - DCI revisions

Please explain why you've edited the DCI page to add overline to the aspect ratios in May 2023. This is not as presented in the DCI Specification and the ratios are not repeating, as in repitan 2.393939 etc. Absent an explanation, I'll undo your edit. Thank you.

I don't recall that, so idk what to say. So delete it then I guess. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 07:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

Please do not ignore

Hello there. On editing the article Interstate 29 in North Dakota, you added a template which User:Imzadi1979 said wasn't true based on a look at the footnotes. After that, you added the template again. As it still isn't true, I have reverted it. Please follow the advice and don't ignore it. Doing so is very disruptive. You may leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Cheers. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 18:54, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Ok, well only the exit list section and the mileage number are sourced. Everything else is unsourced. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 19:10, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Tagging articles

Please do not tag bomb. If you see a problem with the article's sourcing, at least make an honest and genuine attempt to look for sources; if and only if there are no available sources, then tag them. SounderBruce 18:26, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Ok, my apologies. Will do better at recognizing things like this in the future. BTW, which article was this? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 18:28, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Something to recall is that only five classes of information need sourcing.

1. Direct quotations;
2. Statistics;
3. Published opinion;
4. Counterintuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged; or
5. Contentious material relating to living persons.

While it is nice to have a source for everything in an article—and to a point, more citations are better—only those items above need citations. As SounderBruce mentioned above, if you find that an article is deficient, you should make a decent attempt to rectify the situation before tagging it. Take a look at the average the route description section, and you'd likely find that none of the content fits the five categories above, save maybe specific lengths that would qualify as statistics. The same goes for the junction/exit list table where really only the mileposts need citation. Since you could consult any appropriate map for the remaining content of those sections, it should be very easy to supply a citation should you so desire. Imzadi 1979 → 05:42, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Ok. Good to know NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 06:07, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

Interstate 182

Please do not change citations without an explanation, especially on a stable FA like Interstate 182. The terminus is not at the SR 397 interchange, nor is reframing the map link necessary. If you would care to explain your actions through an edit summary, it'd be far more helpful to editors. SounderBruce 03:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok. All I did was make the google maps route match the wikimedia one the page as closely as possible. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 03:54, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Sources should never be changed without good reason. Next time, make sure to do a little research before making such a change. SounderBruce 04:06, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok. But then is there any way to change the interactive map to match the current length? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 04:16, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Just upload a new version of the GeoJSON. I suggest learning how to do it, since there's almost no one left here on English Wikipedia that will bother to respond to requests. SounderBruce 05:55, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I concur with SounderBruce per what I saw with Interstate 265. I'd much prefer to see an edit summary explaining why the citation was changed. That may have saved me time having to look up the new cite to verify it covers the data. Edit summaries are courtesies for other editors that makes our ongoing work less disrupted. Pay it forward with explanations. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 05:06, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
