Hello, I'm Jusdafax. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Flippin, Kentucky, 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. Jusdafax (talk) 08:05, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flippin, Kentucky

The link you removed was both source and citation.

I don’t understand why you removed it.

If a footnote is also required, here is the citation. I don’t know how to add it:

Arterburn, Charles R. A Forgotten Town Remembered: Pikesville of Monroe County, Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky: C.R. Arterburn, 2014.

Apologies

Thank you for your note on my talk page regarding Flippin, Kentucky. My removal of your edits was a mistake, and I have restored them. Thank you for your work on the article, and for bringing this matter to my attention. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help, and welcome to the project. Uninvited Company 17:10, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flippin Kentucky

Thank you. BlueLevelBoy (talk) 17:12, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please double check to be sure that the correct version is now in place as another editor has made some intervening edits. If you want help fixing it, let me know. Uninvited Company 17:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flippin Kentucky

It appears intact—thanks. BlueLevelBoy (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It looks like you removed the infobox that was at the top of the article as well as the lede (introduction) stating that it's an unincorporated area. I'll assume that's what you want unless you tell me otherwise. Thanks again, Uninvited Company 17:21, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take care of it. Uninvited Company 17:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe everything is fixed now. Thanks again. Like many of us, I use high-speed automated tools to review edits; despite making a concerted effort to work accurately, it is easy to make a mistake and the tools themselves are not perfect. I don't remember reviewing your article while going through the queue and at something of a loss to explain what happened. Again, thanks for speaking up, and I hope you'll continue to contribute here. Uninvited Company 17:33, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

I do not understand the criteria for blocking. I have been blocked again by someone new who surelycould have no complaint other than the fact that I have made repeated edits. Why do you not first inquire before blocking? Is there some rule about too many or too frequent edits?

Please take note: I am not editing randomly on Wikipedia—that should be obvious. I am editing the History section—which I have created— of a stub about Flippin, Kentucky. I have also added some minor edits for other place names in Monroe County, Kentucky. I grew up in this county. I have written and published about Flippin. Monroe County has a bicentennial approaching, and we are attempting to update and improve current entries on Wikipedia. Please inquire before you block! BlueLevelBoy (talk) 19:27, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

Hello! Thank you for your contributions to Flippin, Kentucky. Just a note that you have to be careful not to add your own interpretation to the page as you have done, for example in the footnotes. I can see you are well-intentioned, but we do not add what is called original research. This means that we don;t find a set of sources and then extrapolate information form that as you have done in the footnote. We only publish information that others have already published in reliabale sources (WP:RS). So please avoid adding your own interpretation of facts (for example if the town was left out of census or government publication, we do not comment on that or extrapolate some other fact from it). The point of the "OR" policy is to avoid having Wikipedia be full of opinions, rather than facts. Facts can only be established here by external sources, not by opinions. If you seem e removing some of the OR/opinion on that page, it is because of this.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Flippin Kentucky

I doubt there are really any statements of “facts” without interpretation, even in the finest of scholarship. BlueLevelBoy (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the previous version of the page, before you removed the huge 8K history section. We don't delete sourced material, generally. The point of the above message about OR is plainly clear. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:22, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I can see what you are trying to do here is good, but I have a few tips for you to make the path easier. You might go at it with a lighter touch, first. When you start to see notices on your talk page, and a discussion at WP:COIN, you are heading for problems. Second, don't assume you own the article, as no one does. In that vein, avoid deleting a whole section as you did at Flippin, since it contained references and seemed like good material (which you added!). Edits like that trigger an army of editors to descend upon the page, and sometimes automated bots that will just revert your edits. Third, edit some other pages... you may have started this already, I did not check your contribs. There is a tone here that is different than the one in publishing. In publishing you can say whatever you want based on your research and opinion. On WP, we don't insert opinion or extrapolate facts, as described in the OR section above. You seem to know your history, so your contributions on other articles would be most appreciated by the community. That will be a lot easier if you familiarize yourself with the many intricate policies! I'll paste some below in a welcome message. Happy editing.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:32, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, BlueLevelBoy. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:33, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your encouragement! I am bewildered by the labyrinth of the Wikipedia platform, so forgive me if I am replying in the wrong place. I have no designs to continue as an active editor, and time is always precious.

I have replaced all references/citations to my original research with other sources. I trust this will eliminate “page issues,” and I request that notation be removed.

I have one parting comment: I would urge Wikipedia to immediately contact new editors/contributors and politely assign a mentor editor, if possible, so to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings that seem to result from random oversight of other editors. Surely there are many like me who could and would make valuable singular contributions to Wikipedia, but don’t want to hassle with the complexity of the platform. Thanks again!

Jeffrey, Kentucky moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jeffrey, Kentucky, 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.
