Hey there! I understand. I’d there a way you that I could write the history section without plagiarizing, yet still using the monument (the picture I took) as a reference? The source I previously attached simply displayed the text of what was on the monument, so I wasn’t sure how plagiarism worked there. Thanks for letting me know.

Edit request by email

Hello B3251,

You stated in your edit summary here that you made the edit per an email request. Who was the sender? Based on the contents of the edit, it appears that you might have inadvertently proxied on behalf of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cadeken! My rule when it comes to email requests is to tell the sender to make the edit themself for exactly this reason. Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

I'll be even stronger. Don't ever make edits because somebody sent you an email asking you to. You're just proxying for a sockpuppet. RoySmith (talk) 21:15, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

@RoySmith: That's exactly what I said! Someone who's wrong on the internet (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Somebody named Macroduck sent me the email. Apologies for contributing based on an email request, I was unaware of the potential circumstances on why I could have received the request and now that I know, it won’t happen again. Thanks! B3251 (talk) 00:30, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

CNA

To keep the discussion on the article page on-topic, moving this part here: CNA is an RS. The first discussion you linked was poorly populated (not outright discarding it, but limited participation and lack of clear, policy driven rationale reduce it to being an inconclusive discussion). The second discussion mentions CNA once, in a list but provides no reason why it's in the list (by that metric, WashPo and WSJ would be discarded). The final discussion features HEB—a very good editor with whom I've worked on a couple articles— outnumbered by other editors who articulated why the EWTN-branded pubs are generally fringe-y while CNA is not.

Mere mention of a source at the discussion board is not enough to present it as questionable; there should be ready evidence of a consensus against using an outlet. By saying that a source is questionable, you imply strong evidence to this end. There is not good evidence for CNA being unreliable (for example, in HEB's case, conflation with the distinct website Catholic Culture seemed to be a factor). If you have clear reasons to doubt CNA's reliability based on specific and verified cases of poor reporting, academic review that found CNA inaccurate, or CNA blatantly peddling in conspiracies, please notify the discussion board.

Sorry if this sounds curt, as you are only acting in good faith and wanted to provide a nuanced view on a contentious topic. I've had to explain how CNA and similar independent, sectarian-interest news organizations work in the past both on Wikipedia and in my professional life, so I occasionally get frustrated when I have to relitigate it. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:35, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

While the discussions are not very great in of themselves, I still feel that Catholic-ran sources, particularly on a topic such as the Canadian Indian residential school system, should have its reliability questioned due to its Catholic perspective being offered in such kind of a topic. I find this different from sources such as WashPo and WSJ due to both of those sources not being linked to the religious or particular affiliation/organization who, in this particular case, the Catholic church in Canada's involvement in the Residential school system. Due to that nature, I'd consider sources offered from a Catholic perspective should almost always be put under questioning prior to being used on such a topic in order to avoid potential bias in such a field. In the case of residential schools, I, personally, would strictly avoid sources from a Catholic perspective in favour of sources that can be ensured to be WP:RS and neutral on the topic. That's all I really need to say, I guess. Again, I also recommend reaching out to the reliable sources noticeboard if you'd like to seek further consensus. B3251 (talk) 02:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

This is me very lightly pushing back on you in this. CNA is not administratively part of the Catholic Church and has been the news org to break many cases of abuse by members–including by leadership–in the church. Articles are not strictly from a Catholic perspective; reporting favors issues relevant to Catholics and will demonstrate a greater degree of expertise in nomenclature on issues related to the church, but it is akin to other special-interest publications in this regard (indeed, some CNA writers are not Catholic). We cite several indigenous tribes and their reports within the residential school gravesite article. Most of the tribal reports are not editorially independent from the tribal hierarchy (and that's a good thing), but we accurately accept them as generally reliable instances of self-reporting. Having dealt with Catholic and Catholic-adjacent articles for the entirety of my time editing Wikipedia, I can say that CNA is essentially the only Catholic-interest outlet that is on a level of reliability approaching that papers of record (though Union of Catholic Asian News's English-language reporting is getting better). ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:03, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Also, not relevant to what you and I are engaging about, as this is plainly an open discussion with good reasons for our positions, but the IP we were both engaging with on the article talk has been blocked for evasion (the original was blocked for trolling). If you don't mind, I would like to pull your comments and place them in a separate section of the talk page and collapse the troll's comments. Let me know what you think. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:07, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Revert on jaguar

How is my edit irrelevant? It's in the "diet and ecology" section, specifically next to the part that mentions the jaguar's predation on aquatic reptiles. I don't understand your reasoning at all. Chumzwumz68 (talk) 20:04, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

You added a singular case to a "hunting and diet" section, in FA-fashion that would be stuck to Jaguar's typical hunting and diet behavior. Adding a singular case in which one particular jaguar hunted and killed something isn't relevant to the typical hunting & diet section. If a singular case happened for a mammal hunting & eating a human, that wouldn't be added to their 'hunting and diet' section, no? B3251 (talk) 23:47, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

It is very relevant if it is the first recorded case of one species preying on another, especially if the two are apex predators. I want to know the exact wording in a "featured article" guidelines that wouldn't allow for something like this to be added. Chumzwumz68 (talk) 20:53, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Generally speaking, I wouldn't consider FA-class articles would include random one-off events to be in what is dedicated to sharing the normal behavior for a Jaguar. I, however, am not an expert and I'd recommend seeking input from @LittleJerry, as I know they're quite known for their major contributions towards articles on mammals. B3251 (talk) 23:51, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

It seems too random. What is so special about a jaguar preying on a certain species of crocodile for the first time? Its already mentioned that jagaurs prey on reptiles. Its more important for the article on the crocodile species then the jaguar. LittleJerry (talk) 14:13, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I don't think it's random at all. It's relevant within the flow of the article, is in the right section of the article, and adds more about the ecology and diet of the jaguar. Before this find jaguars were not known to prey on crocodiles, only caimans, so I think it's a good thing to add. I don't think anything is lost by adding this information Chumzwumz68 (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I agree with LittleJerry. It is quite random to add and for a high-quality article, because you generally want to avoid adding in pretty irrelevant instances that can drift away from the main point: the typical Jaguar hunting & diet behavior. Adding one instance in which a jaguar preyed on a crocodile doesn't necessarily add more to the ecology & diet because the rarity of this incident shows that this isn't relevant to the spread of knowledge surrounding its diet. It reads more-so like a random fact more than anything. B3251 (talk) 17:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I do not think we should use Ontario or Quebec pre-1867

At least for pre-1867 emigrants Ontario and Quebec I do not think are the names we want. First off although in common usage people referred to Canada East and Canada West in 1865 the place was actually one place the Province of Canada which is sometimes called the United Province of Canada. I am thinking for 1841-1867 the Category would be best named Emigrants from the United Province of Canada. I think we need the United so people understand what we mean, and I think we should go by political dividions of the time. Large parts of modern Quebec and Ontario were outside the limits of thos Province. Before 1841 I think we might have Upper and Lower Canada cats.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:17, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm all for creating categories for Upper Canada, Lower Canada, Canada West, etc... would you like to do that with me? I'll start with Canada West. B3251 (talk) 02:20, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

on second thought, I'll scrap that idea. I'll start with just the Province of Canada right now and try to start rearranging categories. Is that alright? B3251 (talk) 02:25, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

That said I also wonder if maybe we are going too low scale. Maybe we should name the Category Category:Emigrants from British North America and link it to our existing article on British North America. I have read through that now, and am beginning to think we might be going too small scale. Especially since there was even an Arctic Islands Territory. I am biggining to think Emigrants from British North America for 1783-1907 is the way to go, although after 1873 there is not much there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:28, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I feel like British North America is a bit broad and is already somewhat exemplified in the already-existing Pre-Confederation Canada category. The Province of Canada should be good enough as there's several articles of individuals from Upper or Canada West. Unless you're thinking of moving the New Brunswick category there? That being said, New Brunswick emigrants should be a category as well as for individuals from the Province of Canada (Upper Canada & Canada West) as to make sure it's not too messy. B3251 (talk) 02:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

I have to admit I think we should use categorizes that would make sense to the people at the time, unless doing so would be too confusing for us. In 1910 "Turkey" was used to mean the Ottoman Empire, but if we were to start categoizing every national of the Ottoman Empire are "Turkish" it would create confusion, and even if we had "1910 establishments" and included everything started that year within the Ottoman Empire it would cause confusion, so we use "Ottoman Empire" even though it was not the common name. In 1850 no one referred to "pre-confederation Canada" because no one knew that the confederation would occur. British North America was a designation for the broad area. I am thinking we could have an emigrant category for people from all parts of it going elsewhere. We have other broad categories like Category:Emigrants from the Holy Roman Empire. My other fear about pre-confederation categories is people will try to include those who lived in non-British areas, specifically before 1763, although with emigration categories I am not sure that is an issue.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:07, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

• The first two people in the pre-Confederation Canada emigrants to the United States category look like they would belong in Category:Colony of Nova Scotia emigrants to the United States. The 3rd Elias Bradshaw, shows why we might want to consider a broad Category:Emigrants from British North American to the United States (or whatever exaactly if the best way to formulate that name). He came in 1831, so there was no Province of Canada, there was Upper Canada and Lower Canada. The article does not say which he lived in (I think we can assume he lived in one). My guess is he most likely lived in Upper Canada, but we should not be more precise than sourcing allows. He clearly would fit in the potential Category:Emigrants from British North America to the United States. We already have Category:Emigrants from the British West Indies to the United States. There is another advantage to not being super specific on these categories. Because of the ease of movement between especially geographically connected British colonies, the last place a person lived in British North America before they came to the US is quite possibly not defining. Some of these Emigrants from British North America to the United States will in fact be men who were raised in Montreal or the Toronto region, then worked for a company based in Montreal for about a decade in Ruper's Land, and then decided to head south and settle in Missouri. So do we call them emigrants from the last place they lived, or from where they started out? We would not call someone who moved from Nova Scotia to the United Province of Canada in 1842, became an elected official there, and died in 1866 an Emigrants from the Colony of Nova Scotia to the Province of Canada, so I am thinking that for emigration purposes we probably want to have one category that links people by their starting point.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:18, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Out of date/ MOS compliance

I would like to thank and accept your offer and am greatly appreciative of any assistance you can provide. Kabiblehopper (talk) 12:51, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Of course, would you like to make a sandbox and potentially show me what information you would like to add/update to? B3251 (talk) 14:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

I definitely will do in the future and again greatly appreciate the constructive offer.

Although frankly, that one article took me over a week to source write and format. Given the response and amount of attribution error, unconstructive grief and accusations of edit warring it received; I think I shall take a break for a while.

I will let you know of any further projects in mind and am more then pleased to collaborate, there is alot of work to be done on the topic of Irving, and shipbuilding on the east coast in general. Kabiblehopper (talk) 15:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I was wondering if I could get your assistance on the JD irving page. Viewmount Viking has constantly been deleting my edits without engaging in the talk page I created and when you look at their own talk page this individual is regularly being accused of deleting other peoples work without explanation.

I made a minor edit regarding the opening phrase, where it stated that JD Irving is a subsidiary of Irving group of companies. As maritimers Im sure you are as aware as I am that JD Irving ltd is the parent company of the entirety of Irving's enterprises, and that "Irving group of companies" is a colloquial phrase that doesn't physically exist as an organization.

I had provided proof that the Irving group of companies isnt a physical company, and therefore cannot own JD Irving ltd, within the talk page, but this user Viewmount Viking keeps baselessly deleted my edit without engaging in the talk.

How can I address this individual and his accusations against me when they wont respond? Kabiblehopper (talk) 11:32, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I'll take a look when I'm available. B3251 (talk) 14:28, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

@Kabiblehopper I just took a moment to look at the material you added to J. D. Irving, it seems that you added a paragraph which does require a source (which is why Viewmount Viking removed it), and the list of Irving divisions is quite long if you include less notable ones that do not have articles, so it makes sense to leave them out. I hope this comment helps! B3251 (talk) 18:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Promotion of List of birds of New Brunswick

Congratulations, B3251! The list you nominated, List of birds of New Brunswick, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

People from Saint John

Just as an FYI, your recent changes to List of people from Saint John, New Brunswick made it no longer fit the table transclusion scheme in List of people from New Brunswick. Not a big deal, but it came up in lint errors, so I fixed the transclusion as such. I just thought maybe you'd be interested in cutting down on what exactly gets transcluded with <onlyinclude>. I'd cut the lead and the footer myself, but it's probably better if someone closer to the topic decides on this. Gamapamani (talk) 06:22, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. It looks like the whole article as well as the other city articles need to be updated to fit the style of other "list of people from [province/U.S. state]" articles. I personally updated the Saint John one because I have a special interest in editing about Saint John-related topics, but if I have the time maybe I can pick ahold at updating the others and ultimately the province list as well. B3251 (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

We meet again, because List of communities in New Brunswick and List of cities in Canada got broken due to changes to List of cities in New Brunswick. I think this time I'll leave the fixing to you. :) Gamapamani (talk) 11:11, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

That's okay, thanks for letting me know. Apologies for the changes being made, I'm just trying to make improvements to certain lists in order to eventually nominate them for FL-status. It shouldn't be too much work, it's about time these outdated methods of displaying one list on another get fixed anyways! B3251 (talk) 11:15, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

No need to apologize, least of all to me. You may want to put up "under construction" notices on those affected pages, though, if the updates are going to take some time. Otherwise, other lint error fixers may end up spending time trying to figure out a way to do something about this that may or may not be necessary. Gamapamani (talk) 11:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I'll try getting around to doing this by the end of the day, as well as hopefully doing the needed fixes. B3251 (talk) 11:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and I'm with you on the lists within lists thing. It should at least be clearly documented with comments in the page code that it's being transcluded in other lists X, Y and Z, because how are people supposed to know about it otherwise? Seeing inclusion tags isn't quite enough to tell the story. Gamapamani (talk) 11:41, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Interest in Walter woodworth white

hello! I notice you are active in updating photos of my family. I had to reach out to ask if you are by chance a relative? 2001:569:FBEF:CA00:68FA:FB5:C15B:85FE (talk) 16:50, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out. I appreciate and understand the curiosity, though I am not a relative of Walter W. White. I just have a personal interest in expanding knowledge about New Brunswick (particularly Saint John and its municipal politics in this instance) on Wikipedia. Information that I've added to the article were retrieved from newspaper archives and the two photos that I've previously uploaded of White were sourced from online archives by UNB and the New Brunswick Museum.

Autopatrolled granted

Hi B3251, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 08:49, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! B3251 (talk) 15:48, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Jynxzi

Hi B3251, the reason I tagged it as UPE is because the creator, I'm tla, is a blocked sock of a UPE farm. Also note the article was just deleted in December, see WP:Articles for deletion/Jynxzi. S0091 (talk) 18:05, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

I would agree if the content within the article were actually written by the sock, but taking a look at the revision history shows that the only contributions made by the sock are the addition of sources during draft creation, a more footnotes needed template, and a submission comment. From what it seems, the entirety of the article has been written by unrelated editors, including one with a clear interest in online content creators, so adding a UPE tag in this instance does not seem justifiable as there is no clear indication of UPE. B3251 (talk) 18:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough, B3251. I was not going to restore the tag anyway but wanted to explain why I added it. S0091 (talk) 18:55, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

All is well, I can't blame you for having suspicion. B3251 (talk) 18:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Personal attack

Calling something vandalism while its not is considered a WP:NPA please read again the edit summary to understand why I did it and it was according to the policy the user was not allowed to create the article --Shrike (talk) 08:56, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

You invited to restore my edit to enforce the arbitration policy --Shrike (talk) 08:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Changing the article from having content to a single sentence was absolutely unnecessary when all it takes is one request to WP:RPP, which I have now done. I’ve edited the article previously so blanking the page not only removed content made by other editors who may not have WP:ECP but also my contribution as well. I apologize if you feel that this is a personal attack, but I’m just WP:FOC. B3251 (talk) 10:26, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Otherwise, your blanking of the page (which included the removal of WP:RS) is your first edit in over three months and as much as I would like to WP:AGF that could in of itself be considered WP:DE. I would assume for you to have the quality of the article's best interests in mind, so why did you not make a WP:RFPP instead? B3251 (talk) 12:09, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

CaseOh Issues

Hi, I am messaging about your edits on the Draft of CaseOh. You can remove the venturejolt source, but all of your other changes do not make sense. In the 1st source, with the 3 videos, it states his name and that he lives in Dallas County, Arkansas. If you can use that source for his birthday, then you can use it for his name and location too. The image was nominated for deletion, until it is deleted we cannot confirm it is copyrighted, therefore it should remain in the Wikipedia. Thanks. Antny08 (talk) 12:57, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Feel free to add back anything I removed that can be sourced from the video, but the venturejolt article fails WP:RS. I'm removing the image because it's a clear copyright violation, as images from YouTube videos cannot be added to Wikimedia commons unless the video's description contains "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)" which this video does not.

Starting on Atlantic Canada

Hey @B3251, just wanted to let you know that I'm saw your post over on WP:RB. I've started to work on the article, I've cut out a lot of stuff already and am working on the history section. There's a lot of great material out there, with a little work I can see this getting to WP:GA status. If you know of any good sources or places to find public domain photos/videos let me know and I'll add them while doing the edits. Dr vulpes (Talk) 07:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Dr vulpes, thank you for your interest in improving the article... I must have forgotten about my RB post since I made it over a year ago, haha. Still open to following through with it though. I have spent quite a while working on mostly New Brunswick-related articles by now and I have a few handy places that I usually look over such as digital UNB material so if you need any help in researching and even working on the article please feel free to reach out and I'll try my best. Thanks, B3251_(talk) 10:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Sounds good! The Internet Archive has a lot of material so I'll try there and if I run into problems I'll reach out. Dr vulpes (Talk) 18:05, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

@Dr vulpes Great work so far. May I suggest adding mentions of Jacques Cartier's voyages in the 1530s? He notably voyaged around parts of what is now Atlantic Canada, landed on Miscou Island and interacted with Indigenous peoples around the Chaleur Bay. Thanks, B3251_(talk) 01:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

Good idea! I'll pull some research and toss it in. I'm running into a problem where the history, geography, and economy starts to blur with the Maritime provinces. I don't want to just copy the material from that article but it's getting kind of hard to find things that focus on just that region. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:46, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
