Misplaced Pages policies

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. I see that you have added or changed information in several articles without citing sources -- and often in contradiction to what the cited sources say. Publishing information based on your personal knowledge is contrary to Misplaced Pages policies on verifiability and "no original research". Please do not add or change content unless it is verified by citing a reliable source. Thank you. --Orlady (talk) 12:40, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Houston. Your edits appear to be 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 the sandbox. Thank you. Jeremy (talk) 03:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Shotgun house, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Third Ward. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Faking numbers

Of your recent edits, some were simply unreferenced, some were unhelpful, and quite a few were simply untrue. Faking numbers and names is not acceptable. If you keep that up, you will be blocked from editing. Huon (talk) 21:53, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Rich Homie Quan, without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition.

Sourcing

The "references" you provided at San Antonio‎ clearly do not match your numbers. I can see from the many, many warnings on this page for this very problem, so this seems to be a long term issue. Please note that further poor edits may result in blocks without any further warnings. Kuru (talk) 13:32, 5 August 2017 (UTC)

Information icon Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages.

When editing Misplaced Pages, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to San Antonio does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Tick Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! GenQuest 09:28, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Yes, edit summaries are generally good practice, but generally editors don't template other established editors over not leaving them. I think it would have been more helpful if, instead of a generic message about edit summaries, you had discussed with 187Ernest specifically why he should have left edit summaries in his minor edit conflict with you over the size of San Antonio's African-American population, to aid in resolution of that conflict. As it stands, you templating him over edit summaries appears to this uninvolved observer that you knew he hadn't violated any policy, but you didn't agree with him so you were looking for something petty to wag your finger at him for. As 187Ernest seems to be a problematic editor in more serious ways (see my admonishment to him over Southern hospitality, focusing on trifles like edit summaries is missing the forest for the trees, an unhelpful distraction. Just my 2 cents. 73.166.250.111 (talk) 16:09, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
@73.166.250.111: You can probably keep your opinions to yourself. What do you hope to accomplish inserting yourself annonymously into my discussion with this errant editor? I reverted his meaningless – and erroneously stated, un-cited, opinion-driven, and non-factual edits (is that "policy" driven enough for you?) – and you want to insert your brand of drama into the non-discussion? Why did you choose to even discuss this here on a third party page? Looking for attention? I don't have time for this, so KMA. Have a good day. GenQuest 13:53, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Inappropriate embellishment of quoted reference

On November 23, 2016, you edited the Southern hospitality article by changing a quote written in 1835 by Jacob Abbott from "A stranger is riding on horseback through Virginia or Carolina" to "A stranger is riding on horseback through Texas, Virginia, or Carolina." What exactly did you think you were accomplishing by corrupting the integrity of a quotation just to flex some Texas pride? This really speaks to a lack of trustworthiness from an established Misplaced Pages editor; you should NOT be editing here if you are so dishonest that you would do something like this for such a small issue - what does it say about how far you would go to fabricate and vandalize to POV-push on a more controversial and important issue? 73.166.250.111 (talk) 15:54, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Demographics of Texas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
