Veracity of....AfD

[edit]

I noticed your constructive comment at the AfD:

  • "...I can see why WP:OR and WP:SYNTH may be a concern, but ultimately I don't see a violation but will admit that perhaps a future edit or two could change that."

That observation deserves to be heard and acted upon. Can you name precisely what in the article raised those concerns? If you will do that, then I'd love to take a crack at improving the article to meet those concerns. Few of our articles are perfect, and sharp eyes serve us well when they lead to improvement. -- BullRangifer (talk) 15:45, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My main concerns were in the “Economy” section which at first glance looked as though the paraphrasing of the sources were strong enough when in fact with a more carefully I looked at it and compared and contrast the content from the sourced material. Another concern was in the “Fact Checking Trump section, but realize now after careful review that it was only long quotes that gave the appearance of WP:OR. I officially retract my statement, "...I can see why WP:OR and WP:SYNTH may be a concern...” TruthGuardians (talk) 21:14, 19 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Thanks for the reply. -- BullRangifer (talk) 01:25, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness

[edit]

FYI, since you are interested in the topic, I have started a draft on the J. Randy Taraborrelli book Michael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness (and its later re-releases). Cheers! BD2412 T 04:41, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the heads up. I’m finishing up the newest edition now. TruthGuardians (talk) 15:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article is now live, if you want to have a look and possibly expand. Cheers! BD2412 T 15:54, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Rocky Kramer

[edit]
Hello @TruthGuardians:. You've tagged an article I've created as being created for payment. I have not solicited or received payment. I have an interest in music. Ear-phone (talk) 19:48, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TruthGuardians. I am a fan of rock artists, particularly metal guitarists. I noticed that a new article pertaining to Rocky Kramer popped up and as soon as I began looking it over, you marked it with a suspected WP:UPE violation and moved it to a draft. I left a message on the article's talk page, but wanted to contact you directly as well. The article appears accurate to me, but I don't know why you think it may have been written by a paid writer. Articles have to start with someone. You've undoubtedly started some articles yourself, but that doesn't mean the editor was paid. Do you have anything to support your assumption? If not, can I work on it and hopefully take it out of draft status? If you think there's something wrong with the article, will you work with me to get the article in proper format? I thought about writing an article about this artist myself, so I am interested in helping. Cheers! --Warriorboy85 (talk) 00:25, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Something VERY IMPORTANT about Michael Jackson ~Please Read!~

[edit]

Hi my friend!!

I'm about to vote to include Michael Jackson on the "List of articles every Wikipedia should have".

I saw that you included a positive message about Michael Jackson, yet YOU VOTED AGAINST adding Michael Jackson.

The nomination you voted "oppose" is a swap (remove Elvis Presley & add Michael Jackson). I think you simply made a mistake that has made your vote end up being against Michael Jackson and in favor of Elvis.

This is the link to the nomination's voting: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_articles_every_Wikipedia_should_have#Swap_Presley_for_Michael_Jackson

Please edit your vote by changing "oppose" to "support" if possible.

Greetings my friend! Salvabl (talk) 20:44, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. It is my observation that Elvis was higher up, then they put MJ higher up, and now they are trying to swap Elvis and MJ again. Am I looking at this wrong? TruthGuardians (talk) 21:27, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @TruthGuardians:! I think I understand the reason for the confusion. I mean, Elvis was recently removed from the list of vital articles of the Wikipedia in English language. And Michael Jackson was added to it. This is the link for that list: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Vital_articles
But now, the current voting is on a list that does NOT concern the English-language Wikipedia. It concerns all the Wikipedias in all the languages. Its title is "List of articles every Wikipedia should have". It's a different list.
It is a list of what should be considered vital articles for all Wikipedias in all languages.
This is its link: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_articles_every_Wikipedia_should_have
And right now, Elvis Presley IS INCLUDED in that list and Michael Jackson IS NOT INCLUDED in that list.
The nomination in which you (and me) voted is for Removing Elvis from that list and adding Michael Jackson to the list.
And although your message was positive about Michael, yet you voted against the swap (you voted OPPOSE, which means that you are supporting Elvis staying on the list, and you are opposing Michael Jackson to be added to the list).
This list is independent, it's on the Meta-Wiki site, not in the Wikipedia in English language site.
And the current voting is to add Michael Jackson to that list, in which he is not yet on.
If you support adding Michael Jackson to the "List of articles every Wikipedia should have" then you should vote SUPPORT to this nomination:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_articles_every_Wikipedia_should_have#Swap_Presley_for_Michael_Jackson
Your message was perfect, you just need to change "oppose" to "support".
Greetings my friend! =) Salvabl (talk) 11:26, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
you were right. I updated accordingly.

Leaving Neverland

[edit]

If you had read the reason provided in the tag I left, you would have seen the comment "Source's credibility needs to be established." Thomson has no Wikipedia article demonstrating his importance, the Leaving Neverland article has no prior mention of him to demonstrate his credibility on the matter, and what's more, his Twitter account isn't even verified - could have been any random person, which was why the tag was left. You also did not address the issue of sourcing a tweet which is discouraged per WP:SELFPUBLISH. No content was removed, only tagged with a request for better sourcing, and establishing who Thomson is and why his opinion is relevant. Instead of making kneejerk reverts in the future, please consider addressing concerns that are raised before removing tags. Thank you. Chase (talk | contributions) 18:43, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification - Thomson does have an article, but it was not linked to for readers to grasp and have context of his importance. Chase (talk | contributions) 18:44, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A journalist doesn’t have to have a verified account on social media to be credited as a reliable journalist. The concerns were addressed in my edit summary. Have a read. The source is credible, accepted, and stable. TruthGuardians (talk) 18:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say a verified account was required. I'm telling you what looked questionable to me as someone who was unfamiliar with Thomson and stumbled across a random tweet being used as a source on Wikipedia. And going back to SELFPUBLISH, the use of such sources is not allowed to be used as a third-party source regarding living people (Robson), and is typically not preferred regardless as "if the information in question is suitable for inclusion, someone else will probably have published it in independent reliable sources." Chase (talk | contributions) 18:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, we’ll change the self published source. Issue resolved. TruthGuardians (talk) 18:56, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jackson

[edit]

Hi TruthGuardians, I've seen your comment on the "Health" Talk Page. I don't edit there. As you might know Alyo is going to edit the article soon. I just wanted to respond to you on your Talk Page. I was also refering to 1993. In his 1993 statement he said he was dependant and he was out of rehab within a few weeks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quaffel (talk • contribs) 19:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AZ Alkmaar in European Football

[edit]

Hello, It is stated that there are not reliable resource under the page I created "AZ Alkmaar in European Football". Well, all of the match results have a link in the "football box" template and the links are pointing to "uefa.com". Is UEFA not accepted as a reliable resource? The links of the matches are embedded in the "football box" template as "|report=Report" Can you please reconsider your decision? Because if UEFA is not a reliable source then what is a reliable source? Or am I missing something else here? By the way, I am not new in Wikipedia. I have been doing edits for more than 11 years.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Trial of Michael Jackson into Child sexual abuse accusations against Michael Jackson. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
