  Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Chalk's International Airlines, 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. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:56, 23 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Meters. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Richardson family murders has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Do not hide the lede statement that that she has been released, and don't ask for a citation. See WP:WHENNOTCITE. It is not contentious, and I clearly cited it to a very reliable source in the body of the article. Meters (talk) 21:19, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Richardson family murders. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be undone.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Publication of the daughter's name is still banned under Canadian law. Her name has been removed under OTRS, and it has been repeatedly rev-del'ed from the article history. There is no consensus to change this. And the same goes for your addition of her name to List of alleged Natural Born Killers copycat crimes. Meters (talk) 21:19, 7 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Citation request

edit

Please read WP:LEADCITE. I don't understand why you are asking for a citation. There's no controversy over the fact that the female perpetrator in the Richardson family murders has completed her sentence. The lede is a summary of the rest of the article, where the completion of her sentence is clearly sourced [1] to CBC News, a WP:RS. If you think the lede mention of the end of her sentence also needs a citation please explain why on the article's talk page. Meters (talk) 00:25, 21 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Kennedy High School (Chicago). Look....I really have no idea what you are doing. Why are you completely rearranging the parameters in the infobox template to change one fact? It doesnt matter what order the parameters inside the template are placed. It still will display in exactly the same order. All changes to statistical info needs references. Any changes to facts in an article is NOT a minor edit. If you are updating facts from an existing source, change the access date. I gave you a level 4 warning because I reverted at least 10 obfuscated changes you made. You've been warned about sourcing and marking edits as minor before. Stop doing it! My edits get checked your edits get checked even Jimbo's edits get checked. Good edit summaries that say exactly what you did help that process. E.g "Updated enrollment" as opposed to "switched". John from Idegon (talk) 03:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

I apologize for the edits. You see a lot of things have changed since the last enrollment update and principal change. I'll readily admit that these edits are not my minor edits and also that we've made unsourced edits once in a while. In other words, I'm sincerely sorry for the edits. I deeply regret my mistakes in editing articles and adding unsourced material.kevinmuniz115 (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Photo ideas and Spanish

edit

Hi! I'm User:WhisperToMe, a Wikipedia editor. I have two questions:

1. Are you interested in taking pictures of places in the Chicago area? There are several sites around Cicero that may need photos. 2. Do you have proficiency in Spanish? If so you can write about school articles in the Chicago area in Spanish. I can point you to some ones that you may be interested in.

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 14:32, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

@User:WhisperToMe, I'm interested in taking pictures of Chicago area places and I'll be interested in writing Spanish-language articles on Spanish Wikipedia and editing them, so I will gratefully accept it.

Awesome! I have a list of photo requests for the Chicago area on the Wikimedia Commons here: Commons:Commons:Picture_requests/Requests/United_States#Chicago_area.2FGran_Chicago_.28Illinois.29 (fixed link) - Depending on where you want to take the pictures I can add more (city halls, schools, libraries, fire stations, etc.). I requested photos of public schools (especially Chicago Public Schools campuses) and private schools (including the French school in Armour Square and the Japanese school in Arlington Heights).
As for Spanish Wikipedia articles, there is a list of articles on Illinois school districts here: es:Categoría:Distritos escolares de Illinois, and Illinois schools here: es:Categoría:Escuelas de Illinois. So far three Chicago high schools and J. Sterling Morton East in Cicero have ESwiki articles.
Keep in mind that unlike the English Wikipedia, on ESwiki high schools are not automatically "treated as notable" so make sure you have good sourcing (from books, magazines, and newspapers) before you start a Spanish article on a high school. If the high school is on the National Register of Historic Places it's automatically eligible for an article on ESwiki.
When choosing names for articles I typically do a google site search with words like "distrito" or "escuela" to see what Spanish translations the particular school district uses. For elementary school it's usually "Escuela Primaria". For middle school it can be "Escuela Secundaria" or "Escuela Media". For high school it is "Escuela Preparatoria" or "Escuela Secundaria". Because grade configurations can differ between school districts (an "intermediate school" may cover different grade levels in different districts) I like to read Spanish-language documents from the districts themselves to see which districts they cover.

Hey, Kevinmuniz11! Thanks for the message. I apologise, I may have reverted without thinking it through, but a release date should have a good source. However, perhaps we can have the previous "accepted" date of 26 November 1971 and keep November 1971 in the lede and Release section, similar to how it is on the A Trick of the Tail article. On your point, 4 January 1972 is the US release date, which is listed on the 2003 remaster of the album. LowSelfEstidle (talk) 20:48, 31 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

@User:Kevinmuniz115 Hello, I saw that you corrected in the articel The Bang-Bang Club (book). Since I am always curious I have looked at your page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited James Naismith, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Almonte (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
