Madison Cawthorn fixup edit



Thanks for your edit ↗ on the ''Madison Cawthorn ↗'' article. It looks much better now. I just wanted to extend special thanks for not making your edit summary read "One weird trick ↗ to rm ugly visible underscores". Cheers. <small><sub>''signed'', </sub></small>Willondon (talk ↗) 00:40, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Coal merchant



Hi, fair enough on removing the link. I'm not dogmatic about limiting the coal merchant article to the UK, it focuses on the UK because it's what I know and what I was able to find sourcing on.

For what was once a major class of business it's really surprising how little there is I can find that discusses the history of the job, almost all mentions are "her dad was a coal merchant" or stuff like that. I think people have seen the job as pretty self-explanatory and not worth writing about. Adele Emm's article on what the job did and meant is really the only really excellent modern outline of it I know. Blythwood (talk) 23:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

25px|alt=Warning icon ↗ Please stop. If you continue to vandalize ↗ pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at :Russell Simmons ↗, you may be blocked from editing ↗. <!-- Template:uw-error3 --> Binksternet (talk) 06:58, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

:Binksternet - My apologies. I had only meant to delete the extra period at the end of the hatnote. I am not sure why the previously reverted vandalistic edits were reinstated. -- Andre Carrotflower (talk) 07:34, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

::It happens. Thanks for the note. Binksternet (talk) 12:23, 16 October 2024 (UTC)

Walk the Moon ↗



What you should have done here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1252793864&oldid=1252299260&title=Walk_the_Moon ↗ is improve the hatnote, not revert to bad syntax (see WP:HATNOTE ↗). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello, I'm Magnolia677. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, :Johnson City, New York ↗, but you didn't provide a reliable source ↗. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable ↗. If you'd like to resubmit your change with a citation ↗, your edit is archived in the page history ↗. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-unsourced1 --> Magnolia677 (talk) 22:04, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:Per WP:ONUS ↗ and WP:LISTPEOPLE ↗, please ensure you are including a reliable source when adding content to articles, especially those that involved living persons ↗. Thank you, -- <span style="color: Navy;">'''Ponyo'''</span><sup><span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span></sup> 23:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)-- <span style="color: Navy;">'''Ponyo'''</span><sup><span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span></sup> 23:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
:David's article has sourcing showing he was born in Johnson City, so he can be listed without an inline source (in my opinion). Amy, on the other hand, is sourced as being born in Endicott, without any mention of living in Johnson City. I hope that clears up why the listing was correctly removed.--<span style="color: #005000;">☾Loriendrew☽</span> <span style="color: #000080;">☏''(ring-ring)''</span> 23:18, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
::I also checked the corresponding article with the intention of verifying the info and copying over any reliable sourcing from the Amy Sedaris article and came to the same realization as you, {{ping|Loriendrew}}.-- <span style="color: Navy;">'''Ponyo'''</span><sup><span style="color: Navy;">''bons mots''</span></sup> 20:12, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
:::Forgive me for the delayed reply, I have been unexpectedly busy offwiki for the past couple of days. I know the standard response to an objection like mine is that "Wikipedia administrators work on a volunteer basis and don't have the wherewithal to catch and address every single issue", and "it remains each editor's individual responsibility to ensure they stay on the right side of policy", and so on and so forth. But those ring phony in this particular case when we have a bullet-point list of problematic content that was basically served up on a silver platter. It would have been an exceedingly simple matter for an admin to follow up on all of those items equanimously, yet Magnolia677 did not make even the slightest effort to get in touch with any of those other editors, only me. And given the aforementioned fact that this isn't the first time this same pattern has played itself out between him and me, you'll forgive me for being a little suspicious of his motives. That's what galls me - not ''per se'' the requirement that sources be cited reliably, which I'll take care to remember in the future, but the blatant selective enforcement of policy. -- Andre Carrotflower (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
