Please do not add or change content, as you did at Six Flags Great Adventure, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. McDoob AU93 13:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to TWA Flight 800, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. – The Grid (talk) 20:11, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Drop towers

Think you can add a source or two to backup the changes you made recently at Drop tower? Specifically, the statement, "Most drop towers use a magnetic braking system...", but also the other one where you added info about Larson and Funtime. Didn't want to revert those changes without giving you a chance to source it. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 12:02, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm ScottishFinnishRadish. I noticed that you recently removed content from Waukesha Christmas parade attack without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi!

The content I removed was “According to the Anti-Defamation League, while Brooks had expressed many anti-semitic beliefs and opinions online, "there appears to be little evidence that Brooks actively subscribes to an overarching extremist ideology."

I did not think this was a relevant or appropriate paragraph to include in the article. Immediately before this paragraph, it is explained that the suspect expressed racism and anti-Semitism online. Why should a random person’s opinion about his motives be part of an objective Wikipedia article? Whether he “subscribed to an overarching extremist ideology” or not, the fact is he committed the heinous crime anyway.

It would be like saying yeah, this person shot up an African-American church, but while they expressed extreme racism online and actually committed a racist crime, they weren’t actually part of the KKK. So what?

If these arguments aren’t compelling, leave the paragraph in. I just wanted to share my thoughts and reasoning.

Latteboy50, since you tried to remove the passage again, please note that the current editor consensus on Wikipedia is that ADL is a generally reliable source. See WP:RSPADL for a summary of the latest discussions regarding ADL. Pilaz (talk) 17:05, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm GoneIn60. Your recent edit(s) to the page X2 (roller coaster) appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. GoneIn60 (talk) 03:50, 15 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You made a mistake. The name of the roller coaster is X2, not X². The reliable source is the park's very own website (https://www.sixflags.com/magicmountain/attractions/x2-coaster) and the fact that it is pronounced "X Two" and not "X Squared". The ride's name has never been X², it's just that no one has ever bothered to correct the article. I will be making the edits again. Latteboy50 (talk) 08:59, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
