June 2023 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s). I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, while user talk pages permit a small degree of generalisation, other talk pages such as Talk:Miss Major Griffin-Gracy are strictly for discussing improvements to their associated main pages, and many of them have special instructions on the top. They are not a general discussion forum about the article's topic or any other topic. If you have questions or ideas and are not sure where to post them, consider asking at the Teahouse. Thanks.

IP, I removed your most recent comment from Talk:Miss Major Griffin-Gracy according to WP:NOTFORUM policy. Article development is not helped by offering what amounts to gossip to support negative characterizations of the article subject. If you have independent and reliable sources that could help develop the article, please feel free to post them to the article Talk page. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 01:14, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
As I have posted on article talk and Beccaynr's user talk, I think this is inappropriate. WP:TALK pages can be used to opine on article content and that's what the second comment was. Not every interaction has to have a source. We have contributors on that page who haven't added a single source but Beccaynr has not reverted them. This is pushing it way too far. - CorbieVreccan 19:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

P.S. I wanted to note that you made relevant points; however, another user deleted your comments because Wikipedia has principles we all must follow regarding interactions on talk pages. I encourage you to discuss article content, additions or removals, sources etc (which article talk pages must focus on) but also please remember to follow the policies around polite interaction and the things we all must keep in mind when discussing living individuals. Even if your opinions are technically free speech, Wikipedia has liability concerns in addition to codes of conduct. So, you can provide sourced examples and analyze them, but it's not good to cast aspersions about entire groups of people, for example, even unintentionally, if you want your additions to remain. Best wishes, - CorbieVreccan 19:55, 27 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Speculation and gossip on talk pages edit

Hey, you've already gotten comments explaining what the talk pages on Wikipedia are for. Commenting that "you heard from a friend" about someone's sexuality, and using horrifically homophobic and outdated terminology, is very uncool. I removed some of your talk page comments for this reason. Chiselinccc (talk) 06:06, 17 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Huh? WTF are you going on about? It is not biphobic or homophobia to say that someone actually really is bisexual, homosexual/gay if they actually are these sexualities. It is not gossip either. 100.34.234.175 (talk) 10:11, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

September 2023 edit

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Jonathan Ames. Thank you. Beccaynr (talk) 16:08, 19 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Jonathan Ames. Please review WP:BLP policy, as well as content proposals, additions, and talk page participation such as [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9].

  Hi 100.34.234.175! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Jonathan Ames several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Jonathan Ames, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Beccaynr (talk) 01:22, 1 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Murry R. Nelson, 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. Materialscientist (talk) 06:51, 23 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Nothing I wrote or added was poorly referenced. Majors himself was never at the Stonewall demonstrations, nor was he or she a regular customer at the bar. Malcolm/Marsha and Sylvia were not regulars at the bar either and not involved in the demonstrations despite how they lied to people and claimed that they were. 100.34.234.175 (talk) 15:12, 4 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
