Tagging edits as minor edits

Greetings. With this note I'd like to ask that you please not tag so many of your edits as "minor edits." As noted on this page, WP:HEP — "A check to the 'minor edit' box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the version with your edit and the previous version: typo/grammar corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." This page has further information that may be useful WP:MINOR Thank you.FFM784 (talk) 14:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Pitchfork (website), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Adakiko (talk) 05:04, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Adakiko: It was a mistake, sorry. I only meant to add the link to Liz Phair's song "Fuck and Run". Atubofsilverware (talk) 05:14, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great work!

Just wanted to pop by and say congratulations on having your article on Josh Guimond's disappearance published! I attempted to create and have an article on the topic published in the past, but was unsuccessful in doing so (as can be seen on my page). Please, feel free to pop in and ask, should you need any help or contributions to the page! DylanJ10000 (talk) 02:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. I didn't know that page had such a history haha. I'll let you know if I need anything Atubofsilverware (talk) 03:28, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami into History of Tokyo. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:32, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image size

Hello. For your future reference regarding image size, note the bolded sentence at WP:IMGSIZE:

Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px, which forces a fixed image width measured in pixels, disregarding the user's image size preference setting.

It seems to be an issue with a blurb from an article that I incorporated into the text. I thought I rephrased the text appropriately, but I'll go further next time. Atubofsilverware (talk) 23:58, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not in Butler

Hi! The postal address of the venue says it's in Butler, but the US Postal Service doesn't issue city names according to municipal boundaries (this page states: " The U.S. Postal Service establishes ZIP codes and mailing addresses in order to maximize the efficiency of their system, not to recognize jurisdictional boundaries."). Butler is to the east of the venue.

This local source says it's in Connoquenessing Township. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That source does not say that on my end. Atubofsilverware (talk) 04:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This version stated: "The rally is happening at the Butler Farm Show Grounds on Evans City Road in Connoquenessing Township." which is what I saw WhisperToMe (talk) 04:45, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do see the mention in that version, but the article was since updated as per the website. They likely changed the location. Atubofsilverware (talk) 04:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Butler Farm Show Grounds is the same place, and it's not possible for the venue to move to the east into Butler. The news station was catering to a local audience when it announced the specific township. Distance of the fairgrounds to Butler and Outline of Butler proper. The text was in the "original story" announcing the event that was going to happen, and the news station decided the text wasnt necessary anymore. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See "Verifiability, not truth" at WP:TRUTH. Unless you have an up-to-date article explicitly stating it is anything other than Butler, do not change it. I am not against a more accurate location being added but Google Maps is not a reliable source here. Atubofsilverware (talk) 04:52, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The consideration is why the news article was updated. The update was not because the location was erroneous, nor because there was a change of location. I feel the text is still valid even if the news station later removed it, because the reason for the text being removed does not impact the validity of the text. Having said that I'm sure some other local source has another article giving the township location, so I'm looking for that.

Also news stations and newspapers (especially ones not "local") often rely on USPS city names, which means they don't always use accurate locations. I have used maps to show actual locations : See: Talk:ENSCO,_Inc. as precedent

When I actually cite locations I use U.S. Census Bureau documents and/or officially published city maps. The Google Maps stuff was just to show you that the place just is not in Butler no matter what newspapers say (and this is verifiable!)

WhisperToMe (talk) 04:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still disagree with "the reason for the text being removed does not impact the validity of the text" as per WP:TRUTH. I suppose you can find a news article about the Butler Farm Show Grounds itself that mentions the township. Atubofsilverware (talk) 05:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm finding the Butler Eagle cited (from Google results) the specific township, but it's throwing up paywalls when I try to read the full article. Lemme see if I can find a way of getting the full article, and then I'll cite a Butler Eagle article (local newspapers tend to get specific locations) WhisperToMe (talk) 05:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Try a paywall-removing extension or website. Atubofsilverware (talk) 05:07, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you do find a workable version of that article in question, change it back to "Connoquenessing, west of Butler" in the lead, because the front page of Wikipedia currently says the shooting took place in Butler, and it would be confusing for readers to see a different location once they click it. Atubofsilverware (talk) 05:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I used 12ft.io and from this article I got the phrase "The rally is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at the Butler Farm Show grounds, 625 Evans City Road in Connoquenessing Township." (and the article is still up with the same text) so hopefully that should resolve things! I'm happy to use "Connoquenessing Township, west of Butler" in the lead because news articles often associate the location with Butler city (even though it's not really there). WhisperToMe (talk) 05:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, add it to the lead and background sections Atubofsilverware (talk) 05:14, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
