Unsourced stuff

"Tallest bishop in the world"? Okay, seriously my friend, you can't add this kind of stuff to articles. It is trivial, unsourced, and not a defining characteristic of any bishop. I have reverted all of your edits, which may or may not be the correct thing to do; I'll review each of the four and see if there is anything there worth restoring. Elizium23 (talk) 00:07, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's what he is known for thought, if you meet him the first thing people tell you is his height, and I know all of this beacuse I know him.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Robert Barron, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 18:59, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Robert Barron. Elizium23 (talk) 02:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit, you made several assertions of fact but provided no sources to back them up. Who cares if Barron is interested in baseball? What does that have to do with his biography? Prove that someone cares by providing a reliable secondary source. Elizium23 (talk) 02:45, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It shows his work in connecting with the youth of the Church through the new media while also sharing the birth of a common motif in many of his talks.

Is this good enough?

This was by John Allen himself.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewLB77 (talk • contribs) 20:10, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, please sign your messages with four tildes. Secondly, where was this source when you made the edit? You know how to add sources properly per your edit of Wenski's article, why not this one? Just add the source when you add the assertions and there's no problem. Elizium23 (talk) 03:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks, sorry I am new to this.AndrewLB77 (talk) 03:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trent Horn moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Trent Horn, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Ok thanks sorry.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AndrewLB77. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page David Toups, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;

propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);

disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);

avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);

do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

~~Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 06:15, 10 June 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

I just knew him as a priest from 10 years ago before he went to the rectory— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewLB77 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's not enough of an affiliation to have a COI, but you really need to be careful about the unsourced additions. Just because you knew his high school career does not qualify you to write about it on Wikipedia. It needs to be found in reliable secondary sources so that we can verify the information. Besides, this is a professional biography, nobody cares about his high school career. The Church bios do not go into such detail, and we certainly do not need to do so, either. THanks. Elizium23 (talk) 22:48, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No I knew about his career in the priesthood his duties and all of that, which is mentioned on the USSCB website which I cited. The "unnecessary info" is always done on Archbishop Listecki's it mentions he worked at a steel plant or or in Bishop Wack's it mentions his highschool. I never knew him in high school.

June 2020

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at David Toups, you may be blocked from editing. Elizium23 (talk) 22:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What was wrongly sourced?— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewLB77 (talk • contribs) 22:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In which source did you find "Biggest bop" and cross-country team? What about his "hopes of studying law"? Where is it that he received the title of "Monsignor" and which rank of Honorary Prelate was conferred? Elizium23 (talk) 02:09, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I must have forgot that it was this http://www.ccchs.org/wp-content/uploads/Msgr.-David-Toups-Bio-for-web.pdf. As for the Monsignor part I know that when he left for the seminary he had gotten the title, and I verified that by looking up and article in 2012 that called him Msgr. and an old document that had Fr. David Toups. He is a chaplain of his holiness, which can be found or done through reasoning.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewLB77 (talk • contribs) 02:09, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So on the quality of that source I would say it is WP:PRIMARY. It is not independent and directly associated with the subject. But then again, the USCCB and diocesan bios are more or less the same, so there is no sense quibbling. Please read WP:DUE for determining appropriate weight of coverage. I would say that if his early life and education can be covered in a paragraph the size of Listecki's, then we are on a good track. It has to be proportional to the sources and proportional to the rest of the article. His later theological education is useful and can be fleshed out. I noticed you attempted to add "other posts" in the infobox, just note that you do not put them in [[]] if they have no article here, otherwise they appear in red color. Elizium23 (talk) 02:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks sorry.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewLB77 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is I who owes you an apology. I looked back at this talk page and realized I was very snippy with you, and others, who are new and attempting in good faith to contribute. I am sorry for my tone and obstructing your good work. I work with a lot of vandals and really disruptive editors and so I do not give the benefit of the doubt to people of good will. Please forgive me. Elizium23 (talk) 03:22, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I forgive you, I see how some of that info is just random and not necessary. But I understand that there are people who will terrorize pages and you need to be cautious.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Trent Horn (July 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Zoozaz1 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Trent Horn and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Trent Horn, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
