:What to do when the sources are so confused? See my change ↗ where I fixed a word in a quote, because a number of other sources had 'persevere'. Then checking further, I saw your cite (as transcribed, would love to see) really did have 'preserve'. Then I found other sources had either of those, or even worse ↗, 'presevere'! I reverted ↗ my change, as you quoted your source correctly, but I have grave doubts about most of these sources. Shenme (talk) 01:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

:What was poorly referenced? That article from the student newspaper of American University ↗ is not a poor reference. Aneirinn (talk) 18:55, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

:::I did not know that existed. I was under the impression that its inclusion would be an improvement to the article as they are an elected official and were the president of the student government at the university. I am a fan of onomatology. I will never return it to the article. Aneirinn (talk) 19:19, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Sounds good. I know it can get tedious, but one good idea is to at least glance at an article's talk page before editing, especially if it has a protection/warning banner at the top of the edit page. That way you can pretty easily see what is controversial with respect to that article. Happy Editing! meamemg (talk) 20:43, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
::This was also inappropriately done here ↗, here ↗, and here ↗. Some of your edits are small clarifications (not copy edits either, so stop calling them copy edits), but many of your larger edits are not copy edits. Adding sections and sentences regarding the article subject is not considered copy editing by anyone. Please clarify in your edit summaries what you are doing properly please. Thank you. -PerpetuityGrat (talk) 15:05, 26 June 2025 (UTC)

Proper nouns in the English language



{{ping|Aneirinn}} please note that the Republican Party (United States) ↗ and Democratic Party (United States) ↗ and <u>any other organized political party</u> are proper nouns. Proper nouns have capitalized letters. Are you familiar with proper nouns? If not, I would recommend reading about proper nouns ↗ instead of making incorrect edits as you have done here ↗, here ↗, here ↗, here ↗, here ↗, and here ↗. Perhaps you are unaware, but in standard American and British English, the first letter of each word of a proper noun are capitalized. Thank you for your future adherence to correct punctuation and spelling. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 16:52, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

:The 13th edition of ''The Chicago Manual of Style ↗'' does not agree with this. Aneirinn (talk) 17:57, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
::{{ping|Aneirinn}} please show me. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:30, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
::I see the confusion for someone who may not be a native English speaker. It appears that "party" was lowercased per the 13th edition, though that was published thirty-five years ago and five new editions have been published since. Modern practice capitalizes "party" in the case of the Democratic Party or Republican Party; even the titles of those articles are capitalized. I cannot find the exact section within the 18th edition because there is no freely accessible version on the Internet. If you wish to dispute common English norms, please also see Joe Biden ↗, Donald Trump ↗, and a plethora of electoral, governmental, and political articles on Wikipedia. I cannot speak to why this changed over time, though it is apparent that since 1989, capitalization norms have. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 18:54, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Thomas Ruffin Gray



I wanted to touch base because you have been really territorial about Thomas Ruffin Gray ↗. I am not sure what this issue is; I worked on the article before you and am simply continuing efforts to support the subject's notability and expand its article's content. To me, it seems like you have nitpicked every change I make, from changing correctly spelled out numbers to numeric format to the extreme of removing sourced content cited to a leading Turner scholar. You have even removed needed citations that I have identified and added, for no reason that I can fathom. Most of the time, you have not followed the practice of explaining why you are making these changes, incorrectly calling the removal of sentence or sources copy edits. I am contacting you here because this is approximating the official definition of an edit war--removing sourced content three times without discussing on the talk page. I realize I have strongly advocated for either sourcing or removing content; but that is not controversial based on Wikipedia's guidelines and does not need discussion. To keep this from further escalating, my suggestion is for us both to walk away and leave as is for at least several days. After that, any outstanding or pending issues can be posted to the talkpage; if a resolution cannot be reached via a talkpage discussion, we can ask for a third opinion. Does this sound reasonable to you? Rublamb (talk) 06:16, 4 July 2025 (UTC)

Reno Soccer Stadium



Hello,

I strongly disagree with your placing an AfD for the Reno Soccer Stadium. Look at these examples:


Tell me what is the difference between these and Reno Soccer Stadium?? They all follow the same pattern and prose as Reno. All of these won't even be completed before Reno. Should you put an '''Wikipedia:Articles for deletion''' on this, then put it on the Talk page and let the community decide just as there was one for Reno Pro Soccer ↗. If you delete Reno, then these others have to be deleted as well, so Good Luck with that.. Roberto221 (talk) 09:38, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Your recent AfD closure



heya, could you clarify your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eurite ↗? Two editors !voted to merge and only one editor !voted to redirect, yet you closed the discussion as "redirect"? Why? FaviFake (talk) 18:09, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
:I am unsure if {{u|Michael Aurel}} voted to redirect or to merge. Anyways, the two were already essentially identical. Aneirinn (talk) 19:19, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
::I suppose you could count it as either. The two are essentially the same in this context: I added what more ↗ I could to the page when I noticed the AfD, so there wasn't going to be any content to merge (except perhaps the claim that one of the figures was the mother of an Aeneas ↗, for which I couldn't find a source). In general, I agree with not conflating merging and redirecting, but in this case I think no harm was done. &ndash; Michael Aurel (talk) 23:45, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
