Jason Conger's father and Wikipedia edits

Hello Eric Wester

I am Jason Conger's itinerant father. The edits I made to his Wikipedia page are honest and verifiable. Am I angry about the way he treated his step-mother, the woman who was more than loving and a champion in his life, oh hell yes. I do not know why you are the guardian of this particular gate, but I do know that way down deep, Jason is very shallow. Do what you must and feel free to contact me for any further information you need.

Sincerely. Dennis Conger — Preceding unsigned comment added by D klamath (talk • contribs) 05:10, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Received a notification

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Graham

I edited the page after someone mysteriously deleted pertinent information.

Here is one of many articles about his criminal acts-

http://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/las-vegas-attorney-disappears-millions-client-funds-state-bar-alleges

Would that suffice for a reference for change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JamieWvegas (talk • contribs) 18:03, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@JamieWvegas: Hello. Yes, I think you could certainly use that link as a citation for your addition of content. However, when you add the information back into the article, please refrain from using phrases such as "The original page was edited to remove a variety of Graham's personal information" as it's not really appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Just add the pertinent and relevant information from the news source. Happy editing! Eric-Wester (talk) 18:17, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Levent Yuksel

Hi Eric, the edit I made to Levent Yuksel's page is taken from a page which exits in Turkish page "Sebnem Ferah". I noticed this information was missing from his personal life page in English and I thought it was necessary to include it in the English page since Sebnem Ferah is a prominent music figure in Turkey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ediz yildir (talk • contribs) 18:08, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@Ediz yildir: Hello. Thank you for the information. Is the information cited from a reliable source in the Turkish version of the article? If so, I think it would be appropriate to add the content back to the English version and include the original citation from the Turkish version. If it's not cited in the Turkish version, we should probably try to find an appropriate, reliable published source for the information and include that. Thank you!

Question

Thank you for giving us another viewpoint. Quick question at Talk:Fake_news_website#Interlanguage_link_template. Sagecandor (talk) 18:53, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@Sagecandor: I've responded on the article's discussion page. Thank you! Eric-Wester (talk) 19:25, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you ! Sagecandor (talk) 19:26, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Have you seen before third opinions from previously uninvolved editors citing pages like WP:RED get disregarded so summarily like that? What is the usual next step when that happens? Sagecandor (talk) 20:31, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

@Sagecandor: The best step may be to remove yourself from the situation temporarily. Cooler heads tend to prevail if you shift your focus to something else. After a couple days if there's still no resolution you may want to request an additional third party opinion before escalating to another form of dispute resolution. Eric-Wester (talk) 21:27, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay thank you. Good idea for a 2nd third party. Sagecandor (talk) 21:30, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

Phoenix Lights

Hello wikipedia community, I am new to this = I already broke some rules, but please forgive me, i had no idea, what I was doing was breaking rules, I assumed any edits would be vetted or discussed before being published. I just added what I knew about these situations and I also won an award for best new investigative documentary film - about the Phoenix Incident or phoenix lights case, I have reams and reams of fact and info that I would like to add to this article to make it more clear, or at least at some more points of view.

I would also like to add reference to my award winning DVD for listing as a source and list of films etc, on this subject matter. I pride myself on pulling facts in this case, so I would like to share all those references etc, I just need help with the actual grammar and methods etc.

I may also like to help with other articles in areas where my research can be of help.

I am still trying to figure out how to talk to Donner - I think I got banned, for editing - again - I have no idea what or how I am supposed to submit an edit - I assumed there was a process, I was not ignoring any one - i just saw the message and read them - but still not sure what or how to correct any of it.

I value and look forward to peer review of anything I publish and would love to a part of this community and make sure I learn the rules so we can learn... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.249.227.151 (talk) 00:03, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@96.249.227.151: Hi. Thank you for your detailed message. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind:

- Any edits to articles go live (for the most part)

- WP:NOR is a policy that you probably want to read up on. In short, all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

- WP:CS includes information on the importance of citing sources for new information you add to an article.

- Take a moment to review these guidelines about how Wikipedia should not be used for advertising or self-promotion. You'll want to be careful about adding links to a webpage selling DVD's.

Lastly, it sounds like you have enthusiasm for helping to build Wikipedia - that's a great thing! You may want to take some time to review our guide to getting started before making additional edits. Cheers! Eric-Wester (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Wesley King

Hi there I am writing in reply to a message sent...I am indeed a family connection of the subject but I was informed that many such profiles of less-known but still noteworthy individuals are written by such. How might I have that tag removed? Also I am not sure regarding the tag of writing like an advertisement...everything is factual in the article. Would that be because it requires more sources? I am new to this and am not quite sure how to correct some of those issues. Thank you for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.68.152.32 (talk) 19:23, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@142.68.152.32: Thanks for your message. Please take a moment to review WP:NOR which discusses how all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source. Original research you may have due to a biological relationship is not permitted. Editing about a family connection would also be considered a conflict of interest, so you'll want to steer away from that. You are, however, more than welcome to post your thoughts on the article's talk page about why the tags should be removed. Eric-Wester (talk) 01:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Eric, the 35,000 attendance for the 2015 Celebration Bowl is the PR attendance figure (LIP STICK ON A PIG). The actual attaendance was less than half. You can verify the correct attendance from the Georgia Dome, they are the keeper of record. All you have to do is ask the the coorect question. The correct question to ask are as follows: . 1) What was the turn style count for the 2015 Celebration Bowl? 2) What was the net paid attendance for the 2015 Celberation Bowl? . Don't bother asking John Grant. He is going to put LOUD RED LIP STICK ON THE PIG. Due to the fact, that you can announce whatever attendance figure you want. It's is not illegal to announce a deceptive attendance figure. . I was at the game, counted each section at half time. Lower level section has about 1,000 seats each. The middle level holds about 250 seats. Just do the math and verify with the Georgia Dome. Now, if this game was for profit. You could ask what the paid tax number was and verify with the Georgia Department of Revenue. . The 2016 Celebration Bowl, will be lucky if it achieved an 6,000 to 7,000 paid attendance. The game is to expensive ($50.00 lower level from the 10 to the 10 - BAD TICKET STRATEGY - if we sale 10,000 tickets at $50.00 each we will gross $1,000,000.00), no real promotions that matter to the general public and failed leadership/competancy in the local team. . Additionally, you can add to the fact that ESPN, does not really care for ATTENDANCE, with both of it's HBCU football properties. They just want TV money for having two novelty acts in it's HBCU football properties. All you have to do is research the horrific attendance of the MEAC/SWAC Challenge. . The Celebration Bowl and the MEAC/SWAC Challenge made HBCU Football look deplorable. My friend, do your home work and tell the truth about the deplorable attendance of both the Celebration Bowl and the MEAC/SWAC Challenge. .

Ways to improve Des Moines Police Department

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Eric-Wester, thanks for creating Des Moines Police Department!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article pays a lot of attention to officers killed, but neglects many other aspect that are of interest, such as the history of the department.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Mduvekot (talk) 02:01, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Cha Cha Slide

Hi Eric-Wester–

I made adjustments to the Cha Cha Slide page reverting vandalism made at 14:37 August 26th. The user who made the 14:37 August 26th edit to this page vandalized two other articles that day. The article still contains its original source, which was not changed during the vandalism.

Falsely Accused for Vandalized Edits

Hi Eric,

I just received a message from you saying I've made inappropriate edits on the Wikipedia pages for Douglas, Massachusetts and the Nintendo 3DS. I would just like to inform you that I have never been on either of those pages before and have never made an edit on Wikipedia. I'm not sure why I came up as the user who made those edits, but I promise you I did not do them.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.189.63.253 (talk) 05:40, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

@207.189.63.253: Hello. Do you use a shared IP address where other people may be accessing Wikipedia as well? This could be common at a workplace, school, or even if there are multiple people in your household. If you didn't make the edits, it would have been someone else who is sharing your IP address. Please let me know if I can help further. Eric-Wester (talk) 13:11, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

@Eric-Wester: Yes I am currently on my university's WiFi so that would explain it. So was the message that I received sent to all users on this IP address that have accessed Wikipedia without having an account? That would explain a lot actually since the pages I've been notified about are random ones I have never accessed before.

@207.189.63.253: The message would have been sent to anyone with the same IP address, although once you clicked the New Messages button it would not show for anyone else. However, if anyone clicks on Talk they will see the message. Eric-Wester (talk) 17:39, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Lil Bub

Greetings. I'm the one who made the changes on Lil Bub's page. I added those changes because i saw the film Nine Lives and that is her role in the film. Currently i can't add a source to prove it because that is a spoiler of the film and probably the forums doesn't want to spoil it. See the film yourself to see that i'm saying the truth. However i can prove that she appears on the film with this source:

Hi dear, it's about why removing that picture of president Ashraf Ghani. As I'm an afghan and he's our president, I just wanted to replace his picture with another one which I have with me in our cultural out fit. The second thing I wanted to edit on the Wikipedia page of President Ashraf Ghani was to change his name to "Muhammad Ashraf Ghani".the reason for this is initially when he was selected as president for Afghanistan his name was "Muhammad Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai". lately, he changed his name to "Muhammad Ashraf Ghani" cause Ahmadzai is a Pushton tribe in Afghanistan. and he removed Ahmadzai from his name cause he declared that I do not belong to Ahmadzai only I'm an afghan and I belong to afghanistan.

Anyways thanks for resorting the content I deleted cause I did not know how to upload his cultural picture. I'm new to Wikipedia that's why. - Said-Jalal (talk)

Talk:Christine Lagarde

As a possibly accidental participant in the edit war at Christine Lagarde, I felt that you should nonetheless be aware that I have fully protected the article and have asked the main participants to take note of my message at Talk:Christine Lagarde#Full protection. Discussion has been started, and there is now no good reason for further reverts before consensus has been reached or dispute resolution completed. I hope it won't come to that, but if necessary, blocks will be issued. As you did not involve yourself too deeply in the conflict and seemed in fact to stand down from it, it is up to you whether you want to refrain from making further edits or reverts related to this conflict, or attend discussion and/or dispute resolution. Best regards, Samsara 04:07, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, Samsara. The article didn't ring a bell to me, so I checked the history and can see that I made one rollback of an addition of unsourced information to the article. I will refrain from further discussion and would be content with the information being added, so long as it can be referenced with a reliable source. Cheers!

Shipyard joiner

Eric. My Grandfather's trade was first listed as a "loftman", then as a "joiner". He developed his trade in Sunderland, England back in the early 1900's, coming to the States in 1921. He worked in the Naval Shipyard in Boston. My understanding is that he basically created the "patterns" or blueprints for the ship's parts requiring carpentry work.

removing my edit From Baripada

Actually you just removed my edit from Wikipedia, and it was your mistake because everything I wrote is true and he is now a notable person in our Baripada City. I know this because I am from the same town. I just Tried To help Wikipedia. Yaah source, currently there is no any written article or source I found, But he had some interviews with news channels. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamitHotaIn (talk • contribs) 03:35, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Alpine goats and peuberty vs parturition (aka kidding)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpine_goat you reversed my edit a short bit ago claiming it was "not constructive". This text has a serious error as goats cannot even lactate within 4-6 weeks of reaching peuberty much less reach peak production. Peak production is reached withing 4-6 of parturition (aka Kidding) this is clearly stated in the reference article and it has been misquoted at "peuberty" in the text. I fail to see how the correction of this is "not constructive"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhsminis (talk • contribs) 04:12, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks for your note and the explanation of your edits. I do have to apologize for not realizing that “kidding” is another term for parturition. I see you’ve made the edit again, and I think that makes sense with how you have it listed now. Cheers! Eric-Wester (talk) 04:16, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
