A barnstar for your efforts

		The Current Events Barnstar
		Awarded for efforts in expanding and verifying articles related to the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis and 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Awarded by Cdjp1 (talk) 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Cdjp1

Hi, I wrote you a thanks for this Barnstar (Back when you first posted it here)-- but I just figured out that I forgot to "Submit" my edit back then.
So my "Thank You" never posted here then (So sorry).

So I will say now--

Thanks Cdjp1 ! I am really touched. I will try to live up to the kind award that you have given me.

Appreciatively,

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Holly Williams are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Thank you. Leschnei (talk) 22:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

setting aside WP:NOTAFORUM for a moment ...

Why would anyone think that an American town with a low black population = discrimination? You must not be very familiar with the demigraphics of the United States - it's a huge place with extremes in diversity of population ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.111.61.183 (talk) 02:52, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@50.111.61.183

That's why everything I said in that post was a question. I was asking, not accusing.

For example I asked-- (Paraphrase): 'Is the 1% Black population there a sign of racist practices in rental housing or real estate?'

I didn't say that it definitely was.

However most of New York State has a lot of Black people, so I am still curious about Conklin, New York (and the county that it resides in).

Most importantly however-- I wrote "are their any sources?"

So speculation (on the Talk Page) was only meant to justify a search for sources. Not meant to be WP:SYNTH.

Bold face is only used here to emphasize key points.

Respectfully, Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 03:11, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@50.111.61.183

Update: Broome County in which Conklin is located, has six (6) times as many Black residents as Conklin does.

I think this justifies a search for (reliable) sources.

Archiving your talk page

Hello again, Chesapeake77! This is just a friendly message to ask you to consider archiving your talk page. Here's a couple good reasons why:

Archiving is the preferred method of talk page cleanup.
It makes it easier to find past discussions and link to them.
There may be circumstances where it would be useful to keep older discussions present on a talk page, to avoid the same issues being repeatedly raised. However, this situation can be better addressed by use of the {{FAQ}} template.
Archiving is easy and can be done automatically by a bot.
Archiving promotes honesty and trust amongst the community.

No worries if you don't want to. But, if you do, I'd be happy to help setup automatic archiving for you. ––FormalDude talk 04:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FormalDude

Hey FormalDude! Yes I would really like to start archiving, that would be very helpful. I appreciate the "<nowiki>"code that lets me keep stuff too!

I have (based on your links) noticed a few different ways to archive and I'm still deciding which format is best for me. I especially like a "standard number format" but I also like the idea of (some) custom archive labels too.

I'll let you know if I want automated archiving, but I am still deciding.

Thanks for getting me interested in this!

Appreciatively,

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 15:33, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. If you don't want automatic archiving, you can easily archive manually by using a one-click archiving userscript. ––FormalDude talk 14:05, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

June 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Southern Maryland, you may be blocked from editing. Please stop edit warring to add original research and unsourced content to Southern Maryland. You have been blocked for this before to prevent this sort of disruptive editing. You cannot copy unsourced text from one Wikipedia article to another, and you certainly cannot add "stuff you know" to any article. Thank you for your cooperation. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Southern Maryland. Please stop edit warring to add unsourced original research. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:47, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chesapeake, you are edit warring. "I'll add references later" is not a good argument in such a dispute: you have added tons of material, many paragraphs, without adding any sourcing: that is disruptive, and don't be surprised when you get called on it. And something else: we really need you to make fewer edits--you're already at 111 for that article. What I see in your edits are many, many subsequent and absolutely minor edits. Please get the text right first, using preview. Drmies (talk) 20:54, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia I am allowed 3 reverts of any of your edits. Please don't give premature warnings. That is considered disruptive.

No, that's simply a bright line rule; any administrator can block for edit warring regardless of the number of reverts. The three-revert rule is a convenient limit for occasions when an edit war is happening fairly quickly; it is not a definition of "edit warring", and it is absolutely possible to engage in edit warring without breaking the three-revert rule, or even coming close to doing so.-- Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 21:08, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From now on please provide precise links to Wikipedia policy if you have concerns.

Please consider the importance of the Template added to the article (top of article) added by some one else, that Template is--

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 20:58, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies Please note the following template (which someone else added to the article)-- I was fulfilling that request. Too many Wikipedia articles are never finished because they are aggressively over-deleted.

This article has been incomplete for over 12 years.

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 21:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend developing the new content in your sandbox including adding references. Proofread it and make sure that it is in good shape and only then add it to the article. Adding big blocks of unreferenced content is asking for opposition to your edits. Cullen328 (talk) 21:24, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Cullen328 Thanks, that is contructive feedback, which I appreciate and will do.

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 21:38, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The above is a really bad look, and I suggest that you retract it. And FYI, Ponyo is indeed an admin, and Magnolia677 is perfectly entitled to warn you. You are wandering into personal attack territory. Acroterion (talk) 23:43, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I retracted it. However I am curious about how things work-- can someone call in Admins who they have had previous dealings with on Wikipedia or are they always unknown third party Administrators?

I think it's very reasonable to want to know how this works.

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 23:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Either,or both. Acroterion (talk) 23:52, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm allowed to disagree with Wikipedia policy right? That is a very flawed policy.

Thanks for the honest response however.

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 23:59, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Acroterion OK, I just came across something. The first Admin who posted here about this today - Username is Drmies - was given a Barnstar Award (previously) by Magnolia677 (the person who warned me in this section today).

So is she allowed to give an Admin a Barnstar and then-- at later date-- call that same Admin in here in a dispute with me?

Shouldn't that Admin have refrained from handling her complaint-- after she gave him a Barnstar?

Here is the link to her giving him a Barnstar (previously) https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User+talk%3ADrmies&oldid=858487802

Chesapeake77^{>>> ♥ Truth} 00:48, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All this took you no fewer than twenty edits. The layout is all over the place. Even your signature has too much coding. You have completely failed to address the central issue, which I'll write out for you here in capitals: CONTENT NEEDS TO BE BASED ON SECONDARY SOURCING. The rest--that's all nothing, and its premise is a lie: Magnolia677 (whose gender I don't know--you do?) did not "call" me. What I can see, and there's two other admins here who are likely to see the same thing, is that an indefinite block is in your immediate future if you can't stop wasting our time, playing the man instead of the ball and complaining about being pointed toward Wikipedia policy. I already mentioned that adding big unreferenced chunks of content is disruptive: your next step, then, should not be to complain about someone telling you this, but to add secondary sources. So, if I hadn't just had this delicious strawberry mousse, I'd be inclined to block you indefinitely for a combination of a battleground attitude and just basic incompetence. But the mousse was great. Drmies (talk) 01:03, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
