"Tracklist"

"Tracklist" is the incorrect header for the track list. It's "Track listing". This is per the album style guide, located here: WP:MOSALBUM --Jennica✿ / ^talk 04:10, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Stop

Please stop with the edits on Whitmer's page. First off, the edits seem political and looking at your editing history it appears the only one you haven't edited in the Michigan Dem primary is El-Sayed. More than that, you've listed twice about something irrelevant. You randomly listing a fundraiser on her personal page as the only other thing listed in her gubernatorial run is suspicious editing. The page will be locked if you keep persisting in this edit. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:35, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Please do not threaten me. I could just as easily accuse you of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for whitewashing the article, but I will assume good faith just like you should. Could we at least mention the relation to BCBSM? It seems suspicious that you would want to remove this sourced information, so let's at least work on an agreement. Just leave the info about her father, not the funding she received.--WMrapids (talk) 04:55, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

I had absolutely no problem of you listing her father's work in the beginning part of the article. It's relevant background information. But your then mention of BCBS in the section no one has been editing shows bad faith and political bias as do you other edits in this race. I'm not sure who you are trying to fool. You added back the BCBS stuff at the end. If you think this is relevant information, than it can go in an appropriate "controversy" section or something on the main gubernatorial race page. Biographical pages aren't for listing random fundraisers and day-to-day or month-to-month occurences, and I think you know that. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:09, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Well, can you add the details about her father? I did not see a reason to create a "controversy" section surrounding her funding. I have only just begun editing such articles and can add more to balance POV if needed. Thanks again for the quick response. --WMrapids (talk) 05:20, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Why can't you do it? You're the one who originally added the information and thus you have the proper citations and sourcing for it. --Criticalthinker (talk) 05:31, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

@Criticalthinker: Did not want to have it seem like edit warring.--WMrapids (talk) 05:42, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Spanish citation tags

Hi, could you kindly translate citations when you copy them over from other projects? Stuff like this is just plain unacceptable. Thanks. AngryHarpy‍^talk 07:30, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

@AngryHarpy: Of course! Didn't notice that the citations weren't translating properly. I apologize.--WMrapids (talk) 07:45, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Personally, ever since I noticed that reFill still puts deprecated |deadurl= tags in articles due to its creator having effectively abandoned it, I've learned to always double-check with those pesky tools. Sorry if I came across a little harshly! AngryHarpy‍^talk 08:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Anarchism

Hi WMrapids,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 23:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

• Hendrik Meijer (businessman) was absolutely fascinating—had no idea of his history! Thanks for writing it. Also, if you haven't already considered it, this would be a great candidate for WP:DYK. czar 23:09, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

@Czar: I thought it was interesting as well and was necessary to include. The article needs some expansion still, but overall Hendrik deserved his own page instead of a redirect. Thanks for the invite as well!--WMrapids (talk) 04:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Institute of Peruvian Studies moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Institute of Peruvian Studies, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Killing of Patrick Lyoya

Quote:

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Killing of Patrick Lyoya. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. In your edit here, you incorrectly add that the officer shot Lyoya "[a]fter losing control of the taser". This was not found in any of the included sources and is borderline vandalism. Please be careful with further edits on controversial articles.--WMrapids (talk) 21:10, 20 April 2022 (UTC)}}

WMrapids, I have tried to engage you on the talk page in an effort to bring a more Wikipedia:Neutral point of view to the above article and to encourage you to stay focused on the incident at hand and not make the article about "social justice".

I backed away when you engaged in WP:EDITWARING as you repeatedly reverted my edits and the edits of others. At the time of your posting above, you edits made up 85% of the article content.

When the investigative reports come out (and I'll wait for that),

we will know if your claim was correct: the officer is seen pushing Lyoya face-down with his knee and then shooting Lyoya in the back of the head

or if my claim my was correct After losing control of the taser, the officer draws his service weapon which discharges as the two are scuffling.

If there are videos recording an incident in an article, we certainly have a practical obligation to consider challenges to content that are obviously inconstant with the video.Wiki-psyc (talk) 17:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

The edit warring [WP:EDITWAR] has been going on for weeks now. I have put together a case to present to the Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring with myself and others. I really don't want a confrontation with you (or anyone), we are upposed to be brothers writing fair and balanced articles. So I will ask, one last time, to please stop edit warring. Wiki-psyc (talk) 22:21, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

@Wiki-psyc: I have been trying to work with you, but with your addition of false information and your copyright violation edits, it has made it difficult. My last edit had even tried to make it neutral while incorporating what you intended to place. Not sure if you are recognizing that your edits have been troublesome, but I am trying to keep a highly controversial article neutral and accurate.--WMrapids (talk) 00:51, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Institute of Peruvian Studies (May 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DoubleGrazing 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). 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 could well be notable, with 50+ years of existence, but the sources cited fail to establish that. We need to see significant coverage in multiple secondary sources that are reliable and independent of the subject. I didn't find one such source cited.

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:Institute of Peruvian Studies and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Institute of Peruvian Studies, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be tagged for G13 deletion.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:38, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, WMrapids! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.
