- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.

Hello, I'm Jessicapierce. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Rhode Island School of Design, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 22:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Jessica, the source is already in the article. I am going to undo your changes, because now you have written a sentence that doesn't agree with the source. Asparagusstar (talk) 02:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, I see the problem - the first citation at that spot is out of date and needs to be removed. The second one is much more current, and we can call it good enough, but honestly it doesn't cover all those awards. Just a reminder to provide complete sources going forward. It's also helpful if you briefly explain your actions in the edit summary. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) Jessicapierce (talk) 02:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- No, the source covers every single award that is in that sentence. This is just a reminder for you to read the source before leaving me a message about sourcing. Thank you. Asparagusstar (talk) 02:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I see the problem - you didn't read the source. It's also helpful, Jessica, if you briefly read the source so you can avoid writing sentences that don't agree with the source. If you read the source, then you might be able to write a sentence that we could call good enough. Just a reminder. Thanks, ~~~ Asparagusstar (talk) 02:45, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

[edit]You are welcome to update the article, but you need to update the sources as well. Where are you getting your info regarding the new total of award recipients? Just add that source to the article, please. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 02:24, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- I just told you: The source is already in the article. It is cited at the end of the sentence. Click the link. Count the awards. This isn't hard. https://alumni.risd.edu/connect/awards/prestigious-national-and-international-awards ~~~ Asparagusstar (talk) 02:29, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- It's truly not that big a deal, but I did, in fact, count - however, I overlooked the fact that multiple years were given on the Emmys, which was where the numbers weren't matching up for me. My bad on that.
- That first source - https://www.risd.edu/news/stories/winning-macarthur - only mentions 10 MacArthur grants, which you updated to 11. That source has been superseded and can be removed. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 03:28, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I see the problem - You are continuing to spam me with pointless messages. If you want to leave a brief message saying you are wrong and to apologize, and then you go away and leave me alone, then we could maybe call one of your messages good enough. Just a reminder that there is no point in your leaving me a fifth, sixth, or seventh message unless it's you saying you are wrong and apologizing. It's also helpful if you properly read sources before sending me multiple messages accusing me of not properly using sources when the source in the article at the end of the sentence says exactly what I put in the article. Just a helpful reminder for you! Thanks, Asparagusstar (talk) 04:12, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- There are multiple sources cited in for that sentence and some of them contradict what you have written in the article with your update. Jessicapierce already explicitly told you this and said that the outdated sources need to be removed. Please do that instead of attacking other editors and lobbing accusations at them. ElKevbo (talk) 17:50, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- OK, you are saying you feel there are "outdated sources" in an article that "need to be removed." You could try hitting the "edit source" link at the top of the page, selecting whatever text you want to remove, pressing your delete key, and then hitting the "publish changes" button. The source I am using https://alumni.risd.edu/connect/awards/prestigious-national-and-international-awards is up to date, it includes 2024 awards, is cited at the end of the sentence, and says exactly what I put in the article. I have made the article better by editing it to say what the source says. You, on the other hand, have made the article worse by editing it to say something other than what the cited source says. I am sorry to hear that your being told that you are wrong makes you feel "attacked" and "accused," but you are wrong. Please don't continue to make articles worse by changing sourced info to say something other than what the source says. Just a helpful reminder for you!
