Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Yunnan, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Cassiopeia talk 09:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Yunnan. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Remsense ‥ 论 11:27, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

It is not acceptable to cite tea vendors for encyclopedic claims about tea; there is no reason whatsoever to treat them as reliable. Please search for higher quality sources, as your contributions continue to resemble promotional material more than encyclopedic material. Remsense ‥ 论 13:40, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I am stating factual information about the name, location and growing of Yunnan tea. 'Tea vendors' or not - it isn't an opinion or about trying to mislead based on ( in the previous citations) a commercial interest to sell tea. They were stating geographical information about the tea, for potential consumers. That information on the Web is largely, as it happens, found via tea merchants whose knowledge of tea is sound. That they sell tea or a particular type in no way would imply that they would impart erroneous information regarding where Yunnan tea is found and what elevation it grows. The whole Wikipedia page about Yunnan province is sorely lacking this information about Yunnan tea. Incidently, I perused various wiki pages on tea etc and found numerous sources that were from commercial websites about tea. In any event, I changed the citations and hopefully you will now cease to delete the information. Thankyou. Tickles1964 (talk) 14:42, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

These are not quality sources, so they are not useful to verify information whether it is true or not. Remsense ‥ 论 14:43, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

You clearly ignored the fact that,as i mentioned, Wikipedia is not consistent, as there are plenty of times,'commercial entities/websites' have been used as 'citations.' Perhaps explain this contradiction. In any event, I have edited the sources/citations. Your term 'quality' should be in quotes. This is debatable. One could equally argue news articles with their bias aren't a reliable and/or source to quote as well. Why is The New York Times accepted (and say, The Daily Mail is not. The fact one is a broadsheet and the other a Tabloid suddenly creates a 'veneer of respect and accuracy' vs a lack thereof? Peer reviewed academic papers and Encyclopaedias are pretty much the only thing when it comes to 'reliable sources' - hardly viewed by people in the main. Again, the fact that the information I was using is not an opinion, but factual,and irrefutable. "Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires inline citations for any material challenged or likely to be challenged..."

The information I added would not come under this provision. Tickles1964 (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate you adding better citations. It's pretty well defined and not remotely just opinion what we consider to be reliable sources, though. Remsense ‥ 论 15:24, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

No worries.Thanks.I could/would debate you on 'reliable sources', yet it's 1.37am here in Qld, Australia, so time for bed. Tickles1964 (talk) 15:38, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

https://www.famousfix.com/topic/buster-keaton-jr

does the above website work? i also found a wiki page on Joe Keaton (Buster keaton's father), which says she ( Camille) is the great grand daughter of him. Buster had two sons. One was named Buster keaton jnr but was changed to Joseph Talmadge Keaton. That is Camille's father. Her mother was Barbara Jane Tichenor.

the above, another source Tickles1964 (talk) 07:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

"FamousFix" clearly does not meet WP:RS. There were no sources on the Joe Keaton page indicating a relationship to Camille, so that's been removed as well. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 12:48, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
