Rachel Portman

Hello Loriendrew, I'm writing to question this revert you made to my edit of the Rachel Portman page: 23:45, 30 October 2015‎ Loriendrew (talk | contribs)‎ . . (10,213 bytes) (-9)‎ . . (Reverted 1 edit by JackBrad419 (talk): Rv per source. (TW))

I added the complete name of Rachel's father, Berkeley Charles Berkeley Portman, who I knew well. Why did you revert this? His name is correct as: Berkeley Charles Berkeley Portman. See his entry from "The Peerage" which I show below, as well as the web address to his page, which also shows that Rachel is his daughter. I will edit her page again and add her father's complete name. Thanks. JackBrad419

The reason was given in the edit summary, namely (pun intended) that the content of the source/reference showed only a single Berkeley to the father′s name. Proper sourcing of a name, as you have subsequently provided, is an essential requirement for biographies.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 22:30, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Friz Freleng page

Hi Loriendrew, I realize that my contribution to the Friz Freleng page might be difficult to find information on, but as far as his Academy Award wins, according to pages on this very wiki and his daughter Hope Freleng Shaw he has 5 wins for animated shorts. I listed the information as best I could on the Friz Freleng talk page. All of his shorts that won an Oscar were through Warner Bros., according to Warner Bros. at least, and all that info is listed here on Wikipedia as well, from what I could find. I am only editing this page at the request of Friz' daughter, who asked me to update it to better reflect his accomplishments. Its been a very long time since I've been here to edit a wiki page, so I may be a little rusty, but I will try to shake off the rust and make sure everything I add is verifiable and as accurate as possible, and do my best to locate additional sources for my edits. Hopefully I can get what you need to be satisfied with my edits in a timely manner, because Hope is quite disheartened with the page not reflecting Friz' accomplishments as well as she believes it should. Blue (talk) 22:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately her beliefs may not match reality. Just to give one example, one of his supposed wins, for So Much for So Little, was a producer award given to Edward Selzer whist Freleng was creditied as a writer. He directed Tweetie Pie, an award that was given to the producer. I'll reply more in detail over on Freleng's talk page.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 22:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of sites with references to Friz receiving 5 Academy Awards, including the official site of the Hollywood Walk of Fame who list 5 wins and the shorts they are for in their press release announcing his star. I've started a list on Friz' talk page. Blue (talk) 00:42, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Changes need to be justified by referencing where that data originates. You also changed capitalization of words. What brought me to the article in the first place was the removal of the organized reference list.

Lisa Christine Holmberg page

Hi, Loriendrew! I saw that you reverted my edit on the deletion page for Lisa Christine Holmberg. I now see that people aren't supposed to edit that. Sorry. I was just looking for a way to notify admins that the page has changed a lot since the 2014 deletion. I have a draft going for it over at Draft:Lisa Christine Holmberg. I'm interested in making it a page again since it has been completely revamped. Could you help me with that? I'd appreciate any advice from an admin such as yourself. I also completely removed the parts that got the article deleted in the first place. Do you have any suggestions before I submit it? Thanks! WikiConqueror (talk) 02:13, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Admin? Not sure whether to be honoured or take offense. Anywayhow.. The draft does not look shabby and cannot be confused with the original version (well, technically the third or moreth version given all the creations.) Time does bring about change, for at that AfD she was much WP:TOOSOON. Her notability may have changed since 2014.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 02:39, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Oh, I thought that you were one of the original users who deleted the page and therefore, an admin. My mistake, but definitely a compliment! :) What do you suggest I do next with the article to make it a page? I contacted the original user who deleted the old article and referenced our conversation here at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:CactusWriter#Lisa_Christine_Holmberg_page I want to do my very best and not get it shot down. Let me know if you see anything that should be changed. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your help. WikiConqueror (talk) 03:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Twerking

Can you help me make the edit I made during the WikimediaNYC edit-a-thon yesterday. I realized this is a moderated page. I am a scholar who writes about twerking and want to eliminate the biased gendered language about WHO twerks. Any person or any gender twerks. It tends to be associated with females but it not exclusive to females. It's also important to emphasize the gender presentation is female not necessarily the sex of the performer since twerking began in New Orleans among cis- and transgender girls and women.

I am still a novice to editing but I have often had my edits deleted completely. Haven't been able to make a contribution based on primary and secondary research and study. Can you help guide me? satisfiedkyraocity 00:46, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Breaking down your edit into pieces:
  1. Removal of the IPA template. WP:Templates are used to help overlinking and to standardize some content. This one allows for a clickable link so that a person unfamiliar with a word can learn how to properly pronounce it. It is there for a reason and should not be removed without cause and explanation.
  2. What exactly does <sup>[1]</sup> mean?
  3. Relating to the above, you removed sourced content. Were you trying to replace that? If so, read Wikipedia:Citing sources.
  4. Removing sourced content and replacing it with some counter-argument is not adhering to a neutral point of view.
  5. Be very very (did I repeat very?).. VERY careful with ever adding in a reference/citation to research you (yourself) conduct. Not saying that you did, but as a scholar this can be an easy mistake to make.

I hope this can help you in making the changes in a positive and conductive fashion.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 01:00, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Loriendrew. In response to your question in the second item in your comment (about the <sup>[1]</sup>), I believe that Kyraocity was trying to add inline references (footnotes) but didn't know the correct way to do that.
@Kyraocity: To create a basic footnote, you would insert the following code immediately after the text you want to provide a citation for: <ref>Reference</ref>, replacing the "Reference" text with the actual citation. More information about creating different types of footnotes can be found in Help:Footnotes.
Hope this helps, CabbagePotato (talk) 04:08, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

kyraocity 13:27, 9 March 2016 (UTC): Thanks for the advise. Still a novice on Wikipedia norms and values. I think I am collapsing the role of editor with a mere contributor even with my own work. This neutral POV, does that mean not referring to scholarly academic work I've contributed to or written? Is there a way to add that work without biasing the entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyraocity (talkcontribs)

There are some guildlines on that, at WP:SELFCITE. You can, just be very careful (see #5 above) to avoid any potential conflict of interest, and to a degree self-promotion. I also suggest looking at WP:DISCLOSE should you decide to do more than cursory edits. --☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 03:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Racial supremacy/racism.

Hello!

Would this do for a citation for Black (and indeed any) supremacy to be racist?

https://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/racism — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.30.229 (talk) 20:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately that is a generic definition for racism. What is needed, to satisfy those that oppose putting it in by default, is a reliably sourced citation where black supremacy has been deemed a racist ideology. You would think that it is an obvious thing so finding a citation would be a easy... not so much. This is not a new issue, as evidenced by repeated discussions on the talk page; see: Talk:Black supremacy#First sentence or Talk:Black supremacy#Lead: "Black supremacy is a racist ideology" or even over at the other side of the table at [[Talk:White supremacy/Archive 3#Request for comments: first sentence of lead, but alas, my arguments for parity were not accepted.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 01:23, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for creating Carlos Eduardo Taddeo, Loriendrew!

Wikipedia editor NearEMPTiness just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I like your article. However, I think "He is considered one of the best rappers of Brazil" is a bit over the top & should be re-worded or proven by a quote of a magazine. Three of the references are bare web links & should be replaced by hyperlinks.

Black supremacy

Black supremacy and supremacy of all kinds is racist. Not only is racism already listed elsewhere on the Black Supremacy page before you removed my edit, but it is also clearly stated, without any sources no less, that White Supremacy is racism under the White Supremacy page. It is clear from your past page moderation history that you have done this before (even when sufficient sourcing was provided to you (nice excuse on that one)), and thus you must be no more than a mindless page trawler, looking for and subsequently removing facts that you don't agree with or that 'trigger' you, in order to replace them with your happy little lies for a happy, false, little world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Britcom12345 (talkcontribs) 14:41, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

When something is challenged, referencing needs to be supplied. Further discussions take place on an article's talk page. Wiki goes by WP:CONSENSUS, and one person's opinion cannot be used to prove unsubstantiated fact. Your hostility toward me is unfounded as my edit summaries clearly indicating a request for sourcing and if you read the talk page arguements I am clearly in favor including that word.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 15:12, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for tagging Hiroko Tsuji (musician). I had my suspicions about that article, especially about the supposed honor from the Order of St. Sylvester, but don't know Italian and thus couldn't check the sources. I thus posted some inquiries, such as Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Japan#Kento_Masuda. Do you know Italian? If you do, could you also check Kento Masuda? The same user created both articles and is making similar claims. Michitaro (talk) 22:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks from me too for working on this, in particular the SPI. I was thinking of starting one myself since the Tsuji and Masuda articles were created by several SPAs that smell like sockpuppets. The check user got Kaori Muraji, but FYI, I also suspect SusanMEnglish. While that is probably too stale for a checkuser to pick up now, I wouldn't be surprised if it returns during the block.

As to my elimination of the cited references and their links, if you had bothered to read the articles, you might have found out that they have nothing to do with the term 'squeeze play (baseball)' and are obviously a cheap ad for the law firm and the authors. There are untold amounts of fake and scam links under the pretence of being legitimate references. Fighting vandalism is a good activity and I don't have time for sandbox play. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.75.153.108 (talk) 12:50, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Be WP:CIVIL, as there was no insult in any communication (warning message or edit summary). The NYT article was used as a source for including the name of one of the co–inventors of the play, with the rest of the article being unrelated to the topic. Even so, as noted on your talk page, one of the issues with the edits was the unexplained removal of content, including the reference list at the bottom of the article.

Removed italics

Here is an example, different than your redirect: Shirley Temple Black. If you are right, please revert. Xx236 (talk) 05:52, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

That article is about a person which is not italicized. See MOS:TITLE.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 12:32, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Your sources are about pages, not about redirects.
Your redirect doesn't work as a redirect.
Order of operations has been fixed.
Shirley Temple Black is italicized when a category is listed.Xx236 (talk) 12:43, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Now you have the title italicized inside the redirect. But noone watches the inside.Xx236 (talk) 12:52, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Divergent Film

In reference to My recent contributions, I feel the edit made to Divergent (film) was constructive as it helps establish MarkAnthony Baca. I am currently working on a draft article about MarkAnthony Baca. I believed it would be constructive to cross reference him in Divergent (film) as his role in that film will be mentioned in my article.

Kate Bock

I do not know the exact birthday of Kate Bock. But I know she is older than 26. On Boomer & Carton show that was published on Youtube on February 17, 2014 by CBS, she said that she was 25. It is kind of hard to be 25 years old on February 17, 2014 and be 26 years old in June of 2016. But maybe my math is off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:301:77F9:770:40D:F21B:2689:D2E9 (talk) 22:20, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Actually, according to Sports Illustrated she is 23. Marking it disputed and discussing on talk page.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 22:52, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Block evading IP jumper

What's the original IP who was blocked, I'm going to report the new IP to AIV. BMK (talk) 21:57, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I will look once home (not easy on tablet), but think you can find it on the Kristen Bell history going back months. Vastly different IPv4 and some v6 in there adding the same content (noticable with the education and children infobox additions).--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 22:29, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
User:2600:100E:B100:0:0:0:0:0/41 has a range block, the v4's do not have a block history, but they jump (174.'s and 70.'s).--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 02:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. BMK (talk) 03:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) This has gone on, as you note, for months; I've been keeping track of some of the more recent ones at my sandbox. I've been doing IP range searches, which is bloody time-consuming; someone at EF was kind enough to set up a public filter so we can keep watch on some of this guy's favorite phrases. There are, of course, false positives, but very few such edits altogether in the grand scheme of things. Cheers! 🖖ATS / Talk 01:58, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Oh, the "she bore him"-IP could be the same person? Been reverting that over at Kelly Macdonald quite a bit. Thanks for the info on that filter, I'll be perusing that.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 02:04, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Definitely is the same person—the newest user's contribs prove it beyond any doubt. 🖖ATS / Talk 02:14, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
See this report I made a month ago, a follow-up of sorts to this report by AldezD. This vandal is one cunning stunt, I must say. 🖖ATS / Talk 02:22, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Comedy and tragedy

Comedy and tragedy are ancient Greek art forms. I believe it should be allowed in the Greek inventions category. Culturefanatic12 (talk) 03:40, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

It would be better to discuss things on the talk page of each topic. Please see WP:BRD.--☾Loriendrew☽ (ring-ring) 09:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
