Hi there. I see that following our discussion at the Whoopi Goldberg talk page, you have edited Charlie's Angels (2019 film), American Horror Story: Coven, and Kris Statlander. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you did not make these edits based on your interest in female-led action comedy films, campy horror television series, or professional wrestlers. Please have a read of WP:HOUNDING. Thanks. KyleJoan^talk 07:41, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not following you except trying to learn from you. By seeing your changes I'm trying to learn tricks (couple bots) and you've taught me a few. None of the changes I've done were unsourced or unwarranted. Angels was a happenstance though as it's in my netflix que and moved up. AHS and KS were from you. Also I didn't look at your history until after getting your reply on Whoopie which then caused me to want to learn more from you. Sorry if you feel like I was following you, and I was as I've said above for learning reasons.

But here's a question because of a change you made to one of my edits. Are multiple sources never ok? I posted an item with 3 sources and you removed two of the sources which is something I wouldn't consider doing because who knows if a link's going to go bad?

I don't know how one learns from actively undermining edits by the person from whom they claim to be learning, but thank you for the explanation. If a link is bad, per your description, you can check if it has been archived, such as here. I removed two of the links you added because they did not appear reliable. I'd recommend a read of WP:RS to help determine whether a source is reliable and WP:RSP to get a sense of which sources are considered generally reliable.

I've actually been reading the wiki links you gave me including on the wrestling info as well as the one that gave a long list of sites and what's helpful and not (I disagree with wiki's imdb position specifically as it relates to dob/dod probably because I submit to imdb as well), but had never run across that info. Now have bookmarked.

I'd like to make a suggestion because I wasn't sure if you'd see my reply and stumbled on a page talking about you and see that you've had a few people concerned about the rate of your undos. If when you did your undos (which honestly mostly make sense based on the 8 or so I looked at) if you put the kinda of info that you did on wrestling Kris and Angel's it'd be more helpful. For example, on the Whoopie one it took going to the talk page before you gave an answer that made it seem less like your opinion vs maybe there is some objective rationale. I'm still trying to absorb the wiki info but I did do some searches and put some info on the talk page that I'd appreciate your input on.

Also I wasn't "undermining" you. As I said originally on Whoopie you have a ton of undo's. I was trying to understand why you were undoing so much. The links you've shared help that and give me far more reading then I probably can ever do. lol Thx
