Three things:

  1. Don't disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. It's YOUR responsibility to provide sources for challenged statements, NOT MINE. If you don't like that arrangement, you can log out and go find something else to do with your time. Otherwise, get used to it and move on.
  2. Don't use naked <ref></ref> entries. Do use {{cite web}} or something similar so your sources can be more easily identified and provide relevant information to readers about the source of the information you're adding.
  3. Only ONE of the sources you spammed in that article actually addressed the claim made in your contribution. The other sources, in addition to being from unreliable sources, don't support the statement your edit makes and are irrelevant.

You can choose to remove the extraneous sources, or if you elect to leave them, I'll remove the entire edit again. —Locke Coletc 06:49, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be simpler, and settle the issue once and for all, if you would just remove the citations you don't like, put the one you do like into the form you prefer, and all in less time than it took you to come here to complain about me (and start yet another edit war, which seems to be your hobby)? You admit the contribution is accurate, you concede that the source is good, so just fix it and everyone is happy. And it would literally take you 30 seconds. But why choose the easy, conflict-free option, when the alternative gives you a chance to lecture and threaten people, right? In any case, I disagree with your judgement about the entire matter, so go ahead and make your third revert if you simply can't do otherwise and we'll see how it plays out. I'm not the one with an apparent pattern of bad conduct and a series of ongoing conflicts here. Demesne Lord (talk) 04:09, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly you are unfamiliar with the saying "give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime". Besides, it's not my job to babysit your edits, and none of what I've said above is particularly onerous for you to handle on your own. And, it's policy/guideline, but don't let a little thing like rules come between you and being lazy. —Locke Coletc 04:53, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Rob Rue, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember that Wikipedia is a widely used reference tool, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use your sandbox instead. Thank you. Alith Anar 20:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
