Hugenwong it sounds like you have a conflict of interest, I have left information on COI editing on your talk page. Greyjoy ^talk 13:29, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi you mentioned something about a talk page but I don't know what that is. The story cited for the sentence " O’Connor’s appointment was criticized by numerous attorneys due to his ”not qualified” rating by the American Bar Association during his failed judicial confirmation process" is not really true or an accurate characterization of the article--the article mentions the ABA rating but doesn't cite numerous attorneys or any attorneys criticizing "his appointment". Reread it closely nowhere in the article does it have the opinion of ANY attorneys on the appointment itself, which I'm sure varied depending on ideology and so forth. It seems like the sentence is trying to retread the content of of the paragraph above dealing with the failed nomination. I don't have an axe to grind but I think it's misleading to have that article as a citation for a sentence it has nothing to do with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clowncar1 (talk • contribs) 11:12, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Fair enough, in that case feel free to revert me. For future reference each article has it's own talk page such as this one for the O'Connor article. Greyjoy ^talk 11:48, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Greyjoy,

You have undoned a contribution I made to "List of National Animals", based not the argument that wikipedia and blogs are not reliable sources. But besides those sources I also quoted a source from the digital archives of Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (Portugal's National Library, https://purl.pt/). Taking this in consideration, I don't understand why was the contribution eliminated by you.

Please advise.

Best wishes,

MMBarbosa83 — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMBarbosa83 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Since I am unable to read the source I have re-added your addition without the unreliable sources, if there are any issues I am sure someone more familiar with the topic can address them. Greyjoy ^talk 17:54, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the contribution. FYI, the source is a XVII century work about the Restoration of the Independence of Portugal; in its pages one can find an illustration of the Portuguese Dragon subduing the Lion of Castile (pre-spanish Kingdom). Best wishes MMBarbosa83 ^talk

Many thanks for correcting my mistake - that would have been very painful for those associated with David Price and very glad you spotted it so soon. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   14:12, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Velella, all good. We all make mistakes. Greyjoy ^talk 14:13, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

What's the article and what's the issue? Greyjoy ^talk 20:18, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I wish to formally object to the removal of external links from the page: List of Indigenous Australians in politics and public service

This page is under active management and links will be kept active. Where wikipedia pages occur or are generated for individuals, those will be substituted for the external links.

I request reversion of the page to the state it was in at approx Apr 6 2022, where the extrenal links were in place.

Thanks from Citizen_o_w Citizen o w (talk) 23:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Citizen o w Wikipedia has strict policies on the use of external links in articles, and as such a collection of external links in a stand alone list is not acceptable. Greyjoy ^talk 00:56, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Greyjoy

The policy also says

"This section does not apply if the external link is serving as a citation to a reliable source for a stand-alone list entry that otherwise meets that list's inclusion criteria. To determine whether an item should be included in the list at all, refer to the inclusion criteria for the list you are editing. To determine how to format citations to reliable sources, see Wikipedia:Citing sources."

This is why the List of Indigenous Australians in Politics and Public Service has the link-outs as citations of a reliable source. Without them, how is the factuality of each items inclusion in the list to be verified?

-Citizen_o_w Citizen o w (talk) 05:06, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

"how is the factuality of each items inclusion in the list to be verified" by including the link in a reference at the end of the entry, so that the entire article is not a giant collection of external links. Greyjoy ^talk 05:27, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

You reverted the prod I put on one article (note that I put identical prods on a whole bunch of other articles too), with the rationale "per previous discussion". Can you point to where that previous discussion is? All I see is an AfD that closed with basically no discussion, saying a discussion should happen. Actually it looks like it was closed pretty procedurally, with the admin saying that it shouldn't be at AfD because the proposer was really saying those articles should be merged; I'm not even saying they should be merged, just that they should all be redirected to an existing list (whether or not someone wants to take some brief version of the detailed unencyclopedic content from those articles and put it into the existing list is not my concern).

Is there some other discussion I'm not seeing here?

Anyway, as far as I can tell this should be a pretty obvious open-and-shut case; for the reasons I already put in the prod, there is no remotely plausible argument for keeping these articles. But if you disagree I'm happy to open an AfD and lump them all in so we can see what others think. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 06:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

61.18.156.43 You might be right about the AfD, if you would rather prod it instead of merging it feel free to revert back to the previous version. Greyjoy ^talk 06:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Oh my mistake, at first glance I just saw "revert" and thought you were contesting the prod, but now that I look at it I realize you're agreeing with it and redirecting it. My bad! I should have actually clicked on the diff and looked!

I'm totally fine with redirecting it as you have done (in fact I was doing that before someone reverted me and wanted me to try prod or AfD instead). There's like 20 more of these I tagged too, but it's not urgent, I was planning on just letting it sit there and let some admin deal with redirecting it after a few days assuming no one contests it. 61.18.156.43 (talk) 06:58, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello Greyjoy,

You recently added the maintenance tags back to the SAF page. If I cannot edit due to COI, can you please edit the page so that it solves the maintenance issue or show me how to request edits from an unbiased source?

Thanks,

AmericanForestry (talk) 19:25, 19 April 2022 (UTC)AmericanForestry

AmericanForestry, if you have a COI you can request specific edits at the article talk page. Greyjoy ^talk 08:07, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Hello I need you help how i can create articles like this one is: Daily Awami Awaz Jamalshsh48 (talk) 15:56, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Jamalshsh48, you can learn a lot about creating a new article by using the Article wizard. Greyjoy ^talk 16:11, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Dear Greyjoy, Thank you for your contributions. Could you please wait until we add the references before you start editing our Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiara.strazioso (talk • contribs) 08:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Chiara.strazioso, first of all it is not our Wikipedia page, you have no ownership over it. Secondly the text that I removed contained copyright violations which go against Wikipedia's rules. Greyjoy ^talk 08:40, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Dear Greyjoy, I sincerely apologise for the miscommunication, for convenience and time limitation I used the wrong words to approach the issue. The references are being added to the page, however the site is still under modification for further improvements. We are trying our best to appropriately structure this physician’s page with the purpose of providing useful and correct information. Other references will be added as the page is edited. Again I apologise and hope the next modifications will be suitable to emphasise the importance of the Wikipedia page. Chiara.strazioso (talk) 08:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Sorry to disturb again. It seems like there is an issue with the copyright. The link that you have mentioned for the copyright violations is not the source we have used. This page has copied the words from the text from the original book written for Samuel Guthrie. The link itself is violating the copyrights of the original book Chiara.strazioso (talk) 09:36, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Chiara.strazioso regardless of where you are copying it from, you can not copy text to Wikipedia. Greyjoy ^talk 10:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Dear Greyjoy,

I understand that you are doing everything constructive from your end. This is my first contribution to our Wikipedia community. This article-page has been vandalized. And, I am attempting to bring a closure to that episode. I shall attend to the "inline citations" to the extent I can.

Thank you for your assistance. Abraham — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abraham Kahn Amon (talk • contribs) 13:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

しげ坊主 (talk) 09:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Hello, thank you for your message. My handle name is Shige-bouzu （しげ坊主）, Japanese, male, 67 years old. Frankly speaking, I don't know why you send me this message, but if you think I might have violated any rules of Wikipedia, please let me know. Thanks again. Shige-bouzu.しげ坊主 (talk) 09:37, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

しげ坊主, it was just a message to welcome you to Wikipedia (along with some useful links). I hope you enjoy your time here Shige-bouzu. Greyjoy ^talk 11:04, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

Dear Greyjoy,

Sorry, but I don't agree with your recent two amendments: 1) Why do you think pet details unnecessary? As you might know, Ms Iori Kogawa deeply loves her two pets, and that's why they appear in her SNS frequently. She wants her fans to know what kind of pets, their name etc and share her pet love with us; 2) Her retirement message comes from her sincere thanks to her surrounding people, and I already posted her original Japanese message in the Japanese version of her wikipedia, and as she twittered, she likes it. That's why I also posted her message translated into English here. If you still stick to your thoughts, please let me know. Thanks. しげ坊主 (talk) 13:49, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

しげ坊主, the fact that she loves her pets doesn't make in encyclopedic enough to be included in the article, and just because something was accepted on another language Wiki does not mean it will be accepted on a different one. Greyjoy ^talk 05:43, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. OK, I understand about pet matters. With respect to her retirement message, I have found it in the latest version, therefore I presume you agree with keeping it. しげ坊主 (talk) 15:06, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessary for the article, but am happy to ignore it for now. Greyjoy ^talk 07:46, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I noticed that you removed the section for Barbatos titled "Popular Culture" due to lack of sources. Perhaps it would be better to simply request or find sources rather than removing the entire section? TheRobotics5 (talk) 20:34, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

TheRobotics5 I believe that the removal was justified, most of the entries listed are small mentions and not notable enough for inclusion. If other editors believe that an entry is notable enough they are welcome to re-add it with reliable sourced references. Greyjoy ^talk 03:19, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
