Hello, I'm Saturn star. Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. Saturn star (talk) 04:12, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to Saturn Star

I am assuming this concerns the Mississippi election articles I just edited.

Well thanks a lot for doing that, but I think its self-evident that the state flag of Mississippi is the state flag of Mississippi, exactly why should I provide a citation when none exists elsewhere? And whereas this onerous requirement is not made elsewhere?

The State flag was adopted in 1892, I have noticed it is standard to have the state, or national flag (as applicable) as a little image at the top of statewide (or nationwide) election articles, whether for Florida, Wisconsin, California, North Carolina, Australia, United Kingdom, etc. Where have I offended?

By the way, I understand you have a copy/pasted message and you gave no thought to your reversion, but its really hard to reply to you when you have expressly had that prohibited.

-Eli

I apologize I think I must have misinterprited one of your edits also my talk page was protected because someone left a death threat there a year or so ago and I have always meant to get it removed but I have been so busy in real life I forgot Saturn star (talk) 04:34, 11 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no problem, sorry to hear that happened, some people really go to seed with these internet arguments, God bless you - Eli

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Creigh Deeds. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 03:19, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To reuse a ref, add a slash "/" <ref name=NYT/> Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 03:28, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

Help on references

See Help:Referencing for beginners and help:footnotes. Regarding reuse, see Help:Referencing for beginners#Same reference used more than once Jim1138 (talk) 03:34, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thanks for that, I fixed it.

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Ellen Tauscher. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 07:25, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No comma before Jr. or Sr.

See WP:JR. Please re-check and correct your edits. I've done some. Dicklyon (talk) 18:16, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Check any modern style or grammar guide if you're relying on old style with comma as being definitive of what's correct. E.g. Strunk & White's 1979 third edition, or current fourth edition, which reversed what they recommended in earlier editions (e.g. what the NYT review argued against in the 2nd, 1959, at [1]), and gave the explanation for why, which you can read here. Dicklyon (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well any is not any, just last year that's what I was taught in my College, and that's what the 2012 ed. Book said, I do not accept this Strunk feller who you advance, nor his reasoning - "Consensus says parenthetic, but logic says(read: but I say) restrictive."

If you don't mind I will proceed the way I am taught, Wikipedia's asinine, arbitrary, ever-changing 'manual' notwithstanding, if there seems to be an established rule or it bothers somebody I will not overturn the applecart - But on articles which I am responsible for I'll follow Wikipedia's arbitrary, asinine rules as far as they go and not an inch further, and I'm sorry if Wikipedia doesn't like inches - not a furlong more.

You can find a survey of what modern guides say about this at Talk:Comma#In_English:_Commas_used_with_.22Jr.5B..5D.22_and_.22Sr.5B..5D.22. If your 2012 source isn't listed already, maybe you could add it. Dicklyon (talk) 00:49, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, it's not that Strunk and White were making this up. It took the NYT and other publications 20 years to convince them that this was the new way it's done. Dicklyon (talk) 01:54, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'll not die fighting for it, but I do not accept their authority to change the English language, for that matter, personally I view our language to be in a state of precipitous self-destruction and I do not intend to partake in it, nor carry water for the devil, it seems to me there are a great lot of "new ways its done" that I'm not a part of, they came unannounced, unheralded out of the gloom and they're leaving us all the worse for wear.

Notice relating to articles related to the post-1932 politics of the United States

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited George Beauchamp Vick, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Logan County. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
"Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
We do not publish original thought nor original research. We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.

Reformulated:

"Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for. In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence. In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
Material must be proportionate to what is found in the source cited. If a source makes a small claim and presents two larger counter claims, the material it supports should present one claim and two counter claims instead of presenting the one claim as extremely large while excluding or downplaying the counter claims.
We do not give equal validity to topics which reject and are rejected by mainstream academia. For example, our article on Earth does not pretend it is flat, hollow, and/or the center of the universe.

Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children). Tgeorgescu (talk) 10:24, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references.

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
