Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Cormac McCarthy. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write.

My edit on the Cormac McCarthy page was 100% factual and cited by three different trusted sources, including the Smoking Gun, which listed the police report. The story went viral because it is strange, but it is very much true. The only argument against its inclusion was that it was not relevant to the author, but I wasn't screwing around. Thanks.

Rarebit Fiend

I realize the image is an homage to McCay and the Rarebit Fiend, but that's not how sourcing works on Wikipedia. Please read WP:RS and WP:OR---finding an image online like that and then plunking it into the article without finding a source that discusses it falls under OR. Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 20:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

How is that source not reliable? Did you read the article? Here's the quote: "What’s your advice to cartoonists who want to reach a broader readership beyond the usual fan base? First advice is: learn about the history of the form. There are so many old masters to be discovered that serve as inspiration beyond the flavor of the moment: Winsor McCay, George Herriman, Lyonel Feininger, Harvey Kurtzman, etc. I’ve found, consistently, all successful cartoonists know their history."

Kuper clearly states that he's been influenced by McCay. The image alone makes that obvious. I also read in Kuper's adaptation of the Metamorphosis that he states McCay as an influence. How would you suggest I word it to make that clear? Oneultralamewhiteboy (talk) 20:50, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

• Did you read what I linked to? Do you understand what Original Research is, and why it's a problem for Wikipedia? Further, it's not a good idea to load up an article with lists of people who claim to be influenced---the list for McCay, for instance, would be ponderously long, and anyways it would be better in the main McCay article rather than the Rarebit Fiend one (as the influence is a general one, and not specific to Rarebit Fiend). Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 21:17, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
  • I really don't feel it's OR (maybe I should have included more sources?), but I'll agree with you that a lot of influences on a page can be cumbersome. You really should just pick up the book, because if you're as much a McCay fan as you seem to be, I think you'd like Kuper. I don't know how to cite something that's printed. Thanks for your advice and your patience. I'll do better next time. Oneultralamewhiteboy (talk) 21:23, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
    • Oh, I'm familiar with Kuper (though I haven't read his Metamorphosis adaptation). I want you to understand, though, that finding that homage strip and adding mention to it is the very definition of OR. Compare to the Veitch and Spiegelman stuff—the references are not from their books or interviews, but from sources discussing the works. That's what we do at Wikipedia—sum up what others have said on the subject.
      If you need help citing something from a print source, I can help you out. Let me know what it is (say, an ISBN) and the page(s) and I can show you how to format it. Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 22:59, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Preserve

I noticed your deletion here. In the future, please keep WP:PRESERVE in mind: fix, rather than delete. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 02:36, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I meant to reverse the edit I made actually because I found a better source that reinforced it, I've just been busy. I'll keep 'preserve' in mind in the future. Oneultralamewhiteboy (talk) 04:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Clavis Artis moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Clavis Artis, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. DGG ( talk ) 10:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Clavis Artis

Hello, Oneultralamewhiteboy. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Clavis Artis, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

S0091 (talk) 18:13, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

OK, in that case should I move the contributions I've made to this draft to the Monkeypox page, the 2022 outbreak page or both? I think it is important info for people to have. Maybe a redirect for "Monkeypox vaccine" is a good compromise. Thanks, Oneultralamewhiteboy (talk) 19:22, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

Since the vaccine is related to Monkeypox in general, I think adding the relevant content to Monkeypox#Prevention makes the most sense. I agree a redirect to that section also makes sense as it is a very plausible search term. You can actually blank the draft then turn it into a redirect (blank draft, add redirect, then move to mainspace) so the history is maintained if a stand-alone article is article is warranted in the future.
