June 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Where's Wally? are for discussion related to improving the article in specific ways based on reliable sources and the project policies and guidelines, not for general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics, or statements based on your thoughts or feelings. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

My apologies. I'm still unfamiliar with Wikipedia, and merely wished to express my thanks that UK-related articles use British English, as they should. Devgirl (talk) 01:51, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Devgirl. Can you source your claim that Tommy Robinson lives with you? Thanks. - Little Bee.※²↑↓→¤※»«©®β℃◎:-P:’-(※◎○●○:-P◎※※※.

Thanks to User:NeilN, who reverted this troll comment rapidly. However, I think it should remain, so that others can see the kind of comments that certain sad, small people leave on others' talk pages for no reason ;) Devgirl (talk) 02:49, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No source

Hello Devgirl. Just a heads up, I reverted your edit at Joey Gibson (political activist) because it wasn't supported by a reliable source. -- LuK3 (Talk) 13:47, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah he deleted the video but I've added a source to a still from it until someone can find the video. Devgirl (talk) 18:26, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the material again. An independent and reliable source is required that demonstrates clear encyclopedic value and due weight. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, per WP:Twitter it is not. I've noted this on the article talk page, and on your talk page, but you have proceeded with your false reasoning. You are therefore deleting sourced material from the article without having a consensus to do so, and with no legitimate BLP argument. BLP is not a "Get Out of Jail Free Card", your edits are not immune from reversion simply because you claim a BLP violation where there is none. You need to restore the material and answer my objections on the article talk page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:08, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you're not making any sense, Beyond My Ken. Please keep the discussion on the article talk page. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Re this change. You claim to have read the cited source paper. What did it say? Because I don't think you did read it. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 06:47, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DS Alert: COVID-19

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in edits about, and articles related to, COVID-19, broadly construed. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Because this talk page post [1] doesn't seem all that helpful. Geogene (talk) 01:03, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's extremely helpful, unless you think different pages should be written to different standards of evidence? Devgirl (talk) 01:55, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources say that China's claims about Fort Detrick are conspiracy theories [2], while the head of the WHO is calling for further investigation in Wuhan [3]. And if I remember correctly, it was in Wuhan, and not Maryland, where the first outbreak of COVID-19 was identified. Geogene (talk) 02:16, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nice goalpost shift. It is extremely obvious what game you're playing. Devgirl (talk) 02:21, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No goalpost was shifted, you're comparing apples and oranges. As for "games" I'm playing, that's an aspersion, which is also prohibited conduct. Geogene (talk) 02:26, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As opposed to your little attempt to intimidate me with your original message. Now stop harassing me.Devgirl (talk) 02:42, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Throast. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Halloween (2018 film), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. When changing sentences based on sources that are already cited, please make sure that your changes still comply with the sources.

Dates on Amber Run

Hello. Regarding your changes to Amber Run here, while you are correct about using British English on British topics, the dates were correctly formatted before as those are simple dmy dates. We don't use ordinals in dates on Wikipedia, as you've just introduced—see MOS:BADDATE. Thanks. Ss112 05:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
