September 2021

Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Galveston, Texas, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:25, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content. If you are still working on an edit, save it in your sandbox until it is complete. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Irredentism and List of irredentist claims or disputes

Hi!

I recently removed a large chunk of the Irredentism article (that consisted of a long list of examples) to List of irredentist claims or disputes, in order to avoid having two lists on the same topic (the list article already had a list of quite poor quality that I replaced). Would it be possible for you to move what you added to that article and just leave some shorter prose in the irredentism article (to avoid other people adding example after example until we have two different lists again)? Gunnar Larsson (talk) 10:45, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Gunnar Larsson:, I removed the examples I added and moved those which were not redundant to the Irredentist List page. Also moved the "For..., see..." in the lead to the Examples section and added a hidden comment dissuading future editors from adding examples back to that section. Hope this works! Sweetstache (talk) 15:49, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Good idea to add a hidden comment. It looks great, thanks a lot! Gunnar Larsson (talk) 12:16, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Edits to Channel 5 (web channel)

Hey! I'm Levi_OP. Thanks for your recent edits on Channel 5 (web channel). In your edit, you updated the views and subscribers, but you didn't change the stats_update section, to reflect the update that you made. Make sure in the future that you change that section of the template to reflect the date that you updated the stats. For example, you left the section as
| stats_update = 18 October 2021
But you should have updated it to reflect the up to date info. Thanks! ― Levi_OP^Talk 15:18, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for checking me on this! Will be sure to update that date going forward. Sweetstache (talk) 15:24, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

No problem! Another little tip for you is that it's commonplace to indent your messages that are replying to other people's messages, to avoid confusion. You can do that by putting a : before your response to indent it. I recommend taking a look at Help:Talk pages § Indentation for some more useful examples. ― Levi_OP^Talk 15:33, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

"Minor" edits

You tagged your edit to States' rights, as "minor". It was a small edit but it didn't qualify as "minor". This is a very common misunderstanding. Please have a look at WP:MINOR.

You also added some material before the citation, but that citation was only for desegregation. A new citation is needed for same-sex marriage. This is another common mistake that many new editors make. You weren't the first and you won't be the last! --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:19, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

AFI question

Hi! Re your question at WP:AFIN, there's not a strict set timeframe. I generally just click on "page view stats" and look at the "daily average" number on the right, which covers the past 20 days. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 00:46, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

@Sdkb: thank you!

Your edit to Electronic harassment

You seem to have removed sourced content here, I assume this was unintentional? [1] The wording could clearly be better, but we cite multiple sources for 'delusional', and your edit gave the impression that we have sources for the 'harassment' being real. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:28, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @AndyTheGrump,

Apologies for my haste in removing sourced content. I believe I arrived on the page via See Also on the Havana Syndrome page, and was not diligent or disciplined enough in my editing.

I recently watched a 60 Minutes report on the Havana Syndrome which wades into apparently disputed territory re:directed energy weapons and their use in current geopolitical conflict. The report alleges that there are recent US government lines of argument which aim to delegitimize seemingly honest accounts from numerous US national security officials who claim to have been the victim of attacks from these weapons. Such attacks are not difficult to interpret as acts of war.

Could you please help me make sense of the contents of the 60 Minutes report in light of the concerned Wikipedia article? These might be completely separate issues and I'm not super familiar with the terrain here. Thank you! Sweetstache (talk) 22:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
