Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Insurrection Act, you may be blocked from editing. You all have recently participated in mass disruptive editing at Insurrection Act in violation of multiple policies. If you made a constructive edit, and you have been added to this list by accident, please ignore this message, or leave a message on my talk page. Ed6767 (talk) 23:43, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed6767, I think you left me this message by mistake... NotBartEhrman (talk) 23:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NotBartEhrman, yes - so sorry! I had to warn about 45 accounts. Thank you so much for pointing it out. Ed6767 (talk) 23:47, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NotBartEhrman, Thanks for the edits you did make. I see I wasn't the only one who noticed Hugo was missing in the table :) Ggpur (talk) 02:47, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

... for your work on Statue of Christopher Columbus (North End, Boston). I hope this entry can be promoted to Good article status some day. I'm also curious to see if people will try to vandalize or remove Boston's other statue of Columbus, in Beacon Hill. Time will tell. Happy editing, ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:30, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:Another Believer - I just got wind on social media that there will be an academic article about the backstory of this statue. I didn't think Good Article status was likely but it looks increasingly possible! If I am still using Wikipedia when the article comes out I will add it in.

Warning for WP:MEDRS

Hi NotBartEhrman, I'm Pieceofmetalwork. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently made additions to one or more articles without citing a reliable source. Please note that all content and edits on Wikipedia are expected to be verifiable in reliable sources. In articles related to medical topics, the standard for content and sourcing is defined at WP:MEDRS, and in your edit you did not include any references that meet that ideal. Please have a look at MEDRS to learn about the quality standards for medical sourcing. You might also want to take a look at WikiProject Medicine. If you have any questions related to sourcing of medical issues, you can ask at the WikiProject Medicine Talk page. For general questions about sourcing, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

thanks, since it seems MEDRS is inconsistently used on that article, I have cleaned it up to remove statements that don't live up to that standard NotBartEhrman (talk) 17:46, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR run amok

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Nelly Gray (song). Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Your edit to this article wouldn't have been so bothersome if it bore some resemblance to reality. The songs are completely different. Tapered (talk) 01:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I owe you a circumscribed apology. You've mixed up two very different American songs--Nelly Gray and Nelly Bly. Nelly Bly is based on the Liverpudlian Maggy May. The American derivative is by none other than Stephen Foster. Both songs have lots of different performances on YouTube. Please listen to enough to satisfy yourself that all this is correct, and I trust you'll remove the misinfo from Nelly Gray. I'm curious if you actually listened to these songs before your original edit to Nelly Gray. Tapered (talk) 07:19, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tapered I listened to the Beatles cover of Maggie Mae and the chorus resembles Nelly Gray: "Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken you away,/ And I'll never see my darling any more" vs "Oh, dirty Maggie Mae, they have taken her away / And she never walk down Lime Street anymore". I don't want to push a POV that they are derived from the same song, I just noticed some sort of relationship and confirmed it in a third-party source, although there might be other intermediary songs as you mentioned.

December 2022

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Freddie Mercury, 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. General Ization ^Talk 00:25, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@General Ization The reliable source is already present in the article -- it is the article by David Whitfield which is cited immediately after the word I added. What else do I need to add? NotBartEhrman (talk) 00:26, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inferring from the sentence "[Mercury] was born in 1946, and Kashmira arrived six years later" that Kashmira's birth was in 1952 fails the precision and verifiability required to include a birth date (or year) in a biographical article here. Find a source that actually states her birthdate (or year), not something that requires an inference. General Ization ^Talk 00:31, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I cannot find that rule about adding and subtracting on the WP:BLP page, and I wish you had just let me know that adding and subtracting is not allowed, instead of accusing me of not citing a source and linking to Wikipedia:Citing sources. NotBartEhrman (talk) 00:35, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You did not cite a reliable source. I could not assume that you were making an unfounded inference until you explained the inference you made. See WP:BURDEN. General Ization ^Talk 00:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Freddie Mercury, you may be blocked from editing. General Ization ^Talk 02:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What part of our previous conversation and the links to multiple policies here on your Talk page did you not understand? General Ization ^Talk 02:39, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@General Ization Wait, now I'm confused. You asked me to provide an RS that explicitly says 1952, so I did, the largest circulation newspaper in Britain. NotBartEhrman (talk) 02:40, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did see, belatedly, the sentence "born six years after him in 1952 in Zanzibar". That is barely acceptable, but I have restored your edit. General Ization ^Talk 02:43, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy (January 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Theroadislong were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, NotBartEhrman! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 12:30, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
