Changes to your edits on Laguna woods shooting page

Hello I have reverted a series of edits which you recently made on the involved page that in my opinion presents a distorted narrative of the shooting. Since you are the editor who is making these significant changes I kindly ask that you take them to the discussion page where we can hopefully find a resolution to this dispute and in so doing avoid the need to resort to less peaceful ways of doing so. Thank you for your cooperation in advance Thundercloss (talk) 22:52, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you would ascribe me for significant changes when you made them first. Anyways, see you on the discussion page. Cobiexor (talk) 17:40, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022

Hello, I'm Dylan620. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Highland Park parade shooting—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you.

Hi @Dylan620, I just wanted to record the event, not to promote anything. This is how the Chicago Sun-Times covered the story:

"The Highland Park Community Foundation will provide grants to victims of the July 4 parade massacre or their families and also give money to nonprofit organizations helping others who suffered, with a Sept. 7 deadline to file claims. The foundation — which marks its 30th anniversary this year — is well known in the area for its local charitable giving. With the blessings of the city of Highland Park, it created a July 4th Highland Park Shooting Response Fund immediately after the attack. Money raised through fundraisers, the sale of items such as T-shirts and signs, and individual donations has been steered to this fund ..." Cobiexor (talk) 04:29, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cobiexor, and apologies for the late response. In retrospect, I think my decision to revert was a little harsh. I do think that the text you added at the time did read with a bit of a promotional bent, even if unintentionally, as it appeared to focus a little too heavily on the organization itself. To my eyes, your edit yesterday was considerably better, as it stuck to the news story which was cited as a source while avoiding puffery.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Drowning of Sean Bickings (September 21)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Clarityfiend was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This does not seem to satisfy WP:EVENT. Media coverage lasted only a few days.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Drowning of Sean Bickings and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
