Wikinotmyname
I wanted to let you know about the edit warring report I created for User:Wikinotmyname. You seem to have reverted one of their edits at Los Altos Hills, California. Filetime (talk) 02:09, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Please block me!
Hello, could please block me (67.218.18.234) tomorrow?
- Hello 67.218.18.234 (talk · contribs) I am not an admin, thus I can't do any WP:BLOCK. By the way, why are you asking to be blocked? Some users can ask for WP:SELFBLOCK, but I don't think it is given to IP editors as other people on the same IP might not like being blocked. SunDawntalk 03:42, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
Mixminion
You will not find any working Mixminion remailer. " Note: Mixminion is not under active development, and probably will not work if you try to use it. I'd love for somebody to resurrect mixnet remailer R&D, and have some thoughts on the topic which I'd be more than happy to share. Mixminion might serve as a good basis for such an effort. But for practical use, it is not currently recommended. It may not build on your system of choice; if it builds, it may not work. It is not currently supported. Probably only developers, researchers, and anonymity enthusiasts should be trying it out. Good luck! —Nick Mathewson, August 2013." from https://www.mixminion.net/ The last maintenance of the program was 10 years ago! see https://github.com/mixminion/mixminion But if you do no believe me, it's OK. 79.159.6.25 (talk) 16:50, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Lisa Nowak
Why did you remove my edit to Lisa Nowak, I was adding more information.
- Hello 24.43.233.8 (talk · contribs) your edits here [1] is seen as vandalism. While it is true that she is dismissed from both the Navy and the NASA, no need to add "!" to emphasize her dismissal, and it is better to be concise, as simply "dismissed" or "Discharged" is more than enough. SunDawntalk 07:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- SunDawn, I apologize as I didn't even realize I added the exclamation point. I now understand why you thought it was vandalism. Also, how did you edit my change so quickly, just wondering. Have a good night!
- No problems 24.43.233.8! I have also removed my warning on your talk page as you are acting in good faith. I use software called Huggle to detect Recent Changes and suspected vandalism quickly. By the way, it is also way better to register your account! That way you can ensure that your IP is not seen by others, and lots of other stuff! Cheers! SunDawntalk 07:16, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Its on the bloody page! The source! Geez. Or read a newspaper.
Jovenel Moïse
Hi Sundown, on the changes I made to the Jovenel Moise article. I added some links to help you with sources, and thanks for pointing that out as it lands more credibility to what I was saying for a person who don't follow Haitian news as closely as I do. So you know I am Haitian and follow Haitian politics closely, like everyday. I know about everything I wrote in that article, and they are facts. Please feel free to reach back out if you have questions instead of just deleting what I wrote. Thanks,
- Hello MikeGHaitian (talk · contribs)! Hopefully you have a nice day! I reverted your edits here [1] because your edit did not cite any sources, per WP:CITE. If you have references for the material, please add it to the article, otherwise it can't be accepted. Happy editing! SunDawntalk 09:04, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello, I added the links to the sources in parentheses. That's a way to reference the work.
- Hello MikeGHaitian that is not how referencing works. Please read about WP:CITE to see how to reference properly. Furthermore, most of your edits are just news pieces, and per WP:NOTNEWS most of the materials added can't be placed into the articles. So, you can't add every single infrastructure development on the country on the article page, though I would argue that major developments can be added. Finally, YouTube is not a reliable source per WP:RS so you can't reference to YouTube links.SunDawntalk 16:21, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
You removed one or more external links I added to Goa
Hello, I'm Digitalmarketer018, I noticed that you have removed one or more external links I added to Goa. The link you removed had in depth research and personal experiences and is true. That link has everything related to Goa. Kindly recheck and revoke please.
- Hello Digitalmarketer018 (talk · contribs)! Hopefully you have a good day! Your edits on here is reverted, because the external link you provided should not be on the Wikipedia, per WP:ELYES. The external link should be about official pages related to the article, not about things that are unrelated to the article. Thank you! SunDawntalk 14:15, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
External Link
Hi, looking for clarification. The link I added is a service organization within Metropolitan Phoenix and I was informed by a third party we were allowed to put external links located within the geographic region. Is this incorrect data or is there something else I was supposed to do? Thank you!Whispering AJ (talk) 15:26, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello WhisperingAJ (talk · contribs)! I understand that the service organization is located on Metropolitan Phoenix, but External Links section in the articles are for links that are closely related to the articles, such as the official site of the city. We can't place links to organizations just because of similar geographical location. If you still have questions, please do ask! Cheers! SunDawntalk 15:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Your Revision on Freedom Angels Foundation
Your revision [1] on Freedom Angels Foundation removed material from the lead which was referenced in the body of the article as per WP:WHENNOTCITE, to quote "The group became close to far-right groups and was frequently involved in the protests supporting Donald Trump after he lost the 2020 election" 2001:8003:38C0:900:D07:12A7:624D:3FB (talk) 07:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- After I re-read the source I think you are right, that they engaged with far-right groups, though the title of the source at here said that they engaged with alt-right. I agreed with you though, I will remove my warning and restore the "far-right" addition. Thanks. SunDawntalk 07:42, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Tagging pages for deletion
Hello, SunDawn,
This is just a reminder that every time you tag a page for deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/CFD/TFD/etc.), you must post a notice on the talk page of the page creator. This is part of the deletion process and is not optional. I recommend using Twinkle for tagging pages because once you set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", Twinkle will post these notices for you. Please do this in the future. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Liz! Thanks for the reminder. On the other hand, I do use Twinkle to do the CSD, but after examining my Contributions they didn't send any notice to the page creator if I am doing CSD R3. They still send the notice if I do a normal RFD though. Strangely, if I do CSD for articles, they did send the notice to the page creator. Perhaps Twinkle didn't send notice for R3 but they send for others? Thank you! SunDawntalk 04:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Sundawn I figured out how to properly add the references and it should be good to go now. By the way President Moise's home where he was assassinated is not located in Petion-ville. It is located in Pelerin 5.
Eastern Protestant Christianity - Changes
Hi SunDawn, The page lists the Mar Thoma Church as a Eastern Protestant Church with limited references. The Church leaders are quite openly declare themselves to be Reformed but Orthodox Church. This why I have made this change. This is a prevailing problem in Wikipedia that false information is placed and unable to be amended.
Review on your revision on my article
Why do you tag 'Positive FM' as article meant for speedy deletion Taofeeq Abdulkareem (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Taofeeq Abdulkareem (talk · contribs)! Good day to you. I find that the article failed to show that the organization is significant. I would also point out, per WP:CSD, that as the author of the article that are tagged with WP:A7, you are not allowed to remove the deletion tag. SunDawntalk 16:20, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
