Good morning Escape Orbit Hope you had your coffee, I sent this draft for review, If you are the reviewer please let me know what I have to do to improve in order to be accepted, also there is a section in Burger King franchises (at the bottom) and GPS Hospitality for ref of why I started this article ~ thanks ~ mitch ~ Mitchellhobbs (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2019 (UTC) Eliminación de video en lipdubHola, La causa por la que eliminé el video es porque quería sustituirlo por otro vídeo con muchísimas más personas, donde todos promueven un mensaje de celebración relacionado con la vida en sí y amor hacia su propia ciudad y donde el motivo del lipdub no tiene nada que ver con temas políticos a diferencia del vídeo que hay puesto actualmente con simpatizantes nacionalistas vascos. Quería sustituir el vídeo por otro vídeo mejor pero no sé de qué manera lo hice que no se ha subido y ha acabado borrando el otro. Si pudiera darme indicaciones de cómo hacerlo se lo agradecería. Un saludo y gracias.

Hello - You seem to be a lot more experienced than I am.Hello Escape Orbit I am da4598 You seem to be a lot more advanced at editing and adding content to Wikipedia. I appreciate all of your contributions that you have made. I think it is really cool that you spend the amount of time that you do. I am sure that the rest of the world appreciates your work too. Anyway, I was wondering if you can help me. On the wiki article called: "Drum Rudiments" in the section called "Hybrid rudiments" I have done an enormous amount of research on this particular subject. I keep attempting to cite a book called the "drum rudiment bible" add both a reference and cite a URL: http://www.thedrumrudiments.com/the-history-of-the-snare-drum-rudiments/ which is an article called the History of the Snare drum rudiments. I was wondering if you can look it over for me. Also possibly tell me how to properly cite it, and also, tell me what I am doing wrong. I want to follow the rules and I want to contribute some of my work, so the world will reference it. Here is my email: mark@markisworld.com also, if you email me. I am willing to give you my phone number too. I would like to collaborate with you. Thank you
A barnstar for you!
Your reversions based on your experienceHi, you reverted my edit re ginger hair, with the following comment: "Not widely used in my experience, needs pretty good sources first" Firstly, may I respectfully remind you that Wikipedia edits should NEVER be based on "Your experience". In MY experience, use of the term is widespread. Since the two effectively cancel one another out, I accept that a source may be required for this, which I will provide. I didn't provide a source in the first place because I didn't think there could possibly be any potential bones of contention within my edit, or any point that would require a source to back it up. Secondly, Such proofs are ubiquitous, should you bother to look. A quick search of the term 'gingernut' on Google immediately provides a plethora of proof to back up the veracity of my edit, with both a wiktionary page and an urban dictionary page describing 'gingernut' as Brit. Slang within the first 10 hits. It isn't even necessary to click through to these sites, since the Google descriptions for both these pages define the term as pejorative British slang terms - which they are, regardless of "Your experience". Thirdly, Why you judiciously removed my edit without first raising your concerns either with me or via the talk page, remains a mystery. I can only assume your intention in doing this is to provoke and wind up other users; in which case, congratulations! You've achieved your goal. I see on your talk page that you've made similar unnecessary edits in the past, based solely upon your opinion. Wikipedia is not the correct place to write about your personal experience, or to edit the work of others based upon that experience. I would suggest that you may have missed the point of Wikipedia, in which case a refresher of its guidelines may be necessary before you deliberately vandalise or remove the work of any other editors. In terms of Wikipedia, there is no "I". Your experience, your opinions and your feelings account for nothing here. Please keep them to yourself. Thanks Codeye (talk) 00:41, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Vince CarterHey, were you able to read what you reverted it back to? "He is the first NBA player to play in four decades." He has yet to play four decades, someone made the change and had it switched back to the previous statement, I'll just remove it entirely if that's want you want. He was also tagged as a former basketball player which i changed. Hope you can read the changes first even without explanation, you can always compare the previous version to the new one. *wink* Tbb 911 (talk) 17:28, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

I modified a statement that was a colossal generalisation which was not supported by the source. In fact, the source made reference to positive stereotypes such as "sober as a judge". I contend that "some stereotypes encourage prejudice" is a more accurate summary of the relevant section of the source. However, if you're unhappy with this, I would suggest we remove the contested sentence from the lead completely. Would this be okay with you? Thanks, 5.81.164.70 (talk) 23:08, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

SorryI am really sorry to remove the information about Nevfidan Kadin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Editorrob18 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
The 2019 lincoln memorial incidentI’m doing my best to remove political bid from that page, as it is so riddled with conservative talking points and boded language, it’s almost illegible or belongs on conservapedia. I urge you to read the page in its entirety, and help me remove political bias, instead of rolling back the hard work i am doing to make the page reflect the truth of the situation. The catholic school wasn’t “forced” to close its doors, it chose to. The investigation concludes the black israelites started the conflict and the students extended it. The native americans never moved from their protest location, as the other 2 groups did. the investigation found that “no racist language” was used, although the investigation found “likely racist gestures” including the “tomahawk chop” and “drumming pantomime” mocking the native americans the page is written with clear political bias, and it should not be preserved in a false manner to betray the truth and protect the offenders. I urge you, as an honest human, to manually go in and edit the things that make the story biased, including the things i mentioned and more. the page affords many false assumptions to the students, while condemning the native americans. Please, as a human, preserve the truth of the page, instead of the conservative bias. thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.101.180 (talk) 17:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
2019 Lincoln Memorial Incident ContinuedI’m not aware of how to cite properly, but here’s the link: www.washingtonpost.com/national/diocese-reverses-course-clears-covington-catholic-high-school-students-of-wrongdoing-after-investigation-of-viral-incident-on-mall/2019/02/13/c11195f8-2fa7-11e9-8ad3-9a5b113ecd3c_story.html%3foutputType=amp it’s reliable, it’s the washington post, and as i said before in my previous comment, the covington students investigated were found not to have made “racist statements” but it was found that several of them made “racist gestures including the tomahawk chop and drumming pantomime” the wikipedia article deliberately leaves out these findings from the investigation, and that is wrong to color the students as innocent or unaware—the article says they were “confused, not malicious”, but that doesn’t remove blame in the eyes of the public. The students stood in his face and made a racist gesture to the rhythm of his drumming—and to intentionally leave that out is wrong—but to remove it after I checked sources and added it, without verifying my source to you is dishonest. Please add that back in with the citation, as it’s removal is unwarranted and intellectually dishonest. It is not right to have political bias deciding which facts are presented in a wikipedia article. Sorry for adding a second message, I don’t know how to continue within the same one, but my point remains the same: Add back in that the students did several racist gestures including the “tomahawk chop and drumming pantomime”, and use the source i cited: www.washingtonpost.com/national/diocese-reverses-course-clears-covington-catholic-high-school-students-of-wrongdoing-after-investigation-of-viral-incident-on-mall/2019/02/13/c11195f8-2fa7-11e9-8ad3-9a5b113ecd3c_story.html%3foutputType=amp and i urge you to be through before assuming truth isn’t verifiable. truth is truth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.101.180 (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2020 (UTC) CornWhat confused me was having read (outside wikipedia) that the British government of the time imported maize into Ireland, to replace the high-priced wheat being exported (to England) during the Great Famine there. Ah, I thought, Peel must have read the letter of the law and found a way round it. But Great Famine (Ireland)#Tory Government says that Peel actually smuggled it in!

Clearer examples: "I saw him cleaning his car" is incorrect "I saw his cleaning his car" is correct My correction may sound odd to you, but that does not make it wrong. I leave your reversion, comforted by the probability that I have less time to do on this planet than you.

In that very same list at least one other other sperm donor is included. In regards to it being hard to prove, that is unfortunately the nature of that very list, as very few are accurate, and I don’t see how one can really prove it very easily, especially when there are some who are included from times before birth certificates. Simon Watson has been donating full time for over 20 years now, has been on the TV and many papers over the years because of this too (including BBC), so I really do not see how it can be proved any further. I have noticed that you have reversed almost every edit that I have made, but from all of them, I strongly believe that this one was uncalled for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.246.242 (talk) 13:59, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Nationality “preference”You re-edited some changes I made. No changes made on my part were incorrect, and in fact increased the accuracy by being more inclusive of all band members or specified origin of an individual. There is a common narrative where English artists are referred to as just that, English, while artists who are Scottish/Welsh in origin are classed as the catch-all ‘British’ or even English in the case of David Knopfler. Adding accuracy or inclusion is not suiting ones own preferences, and I implore you to do better in the future. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.149.218.80 (talk) 17:28, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on the Janine Wiedel Wiki page. I edited a note regarding a cite from a Guardian newspaper article. My problem is that the source is incorrect. The article stated that Wiedel was trained at the Guildford School of Photography. As part of my PhD I have been studying Wiedel and there was no such thing as the Guildford School of Photography. It was the Guildford School of Art, which had a Photography section. By the time she attended it had amalgamated with another school and was renamed The West Surrey College of Art and Design.

IMDb as a resource on Elmo's WorldHey User:Escape Orbit 👋. Thanks for helping improve the Elmo's World article. I reverted your removal of the IMDb sources. The reason I added those sources is because there were some previous edits that put incorrect episode names/release dates for some episodes, and I wanted to cite my decision to change them back. I am aware that IMDb is not generally accepted as a source; however, exceptions have been made for hard facts about released media (WP:CITEIMDB). I was unable to find any other sources on episode lists for Elmo's World, so I went with IMDb out of default in hopes to set a ground truth we could use for maintaining that list. I also realise that in general the citations do not look great on that table, and I'm looking into how to make it look better. Let me know if you have any thoughts/feedback.
