Article Talk Pages edit

Previous Strategy edit

These are article Talk pages where I have added something and I want to see if someone makes a change to the article OR the talk page. Typically, I will find an article in FoxNews.com, research the appropriate Wikipedia article, add the reference in the articles talk page, and monitor changes in "My Watchlist". The articles are so numerous, I'm having trouble keeping up with them. This section should help me keep track of the changes.

I am changing my strategy after another Wikipedian asked me to stop doing this. Jesup mentioned several problems -
  • Trolling
  • POV
  • Copyright Infringement
