@Bait30: Hello, I believe you are still vandalizing the wiki page. After you deleted the majority of the content, I reverted it and included the only bill the senator had introduced that wasn't passed. The rest were passed. That would mean the page is no longer impartial. Your editing of this page is very suspicious given that it's an election year and your past editing history. Mswari (talk) 14:23, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

@Mswari: I added a section in the Carol Blood talk page here. Also, if I may, what about my past editing history is suspicious? I'm still relatively new here, but I do my best to adhere the policies and guidlines, so I would prefer if you stopped accusing me of vandalism.  Bait30  22:50, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
@Bait30: The grounds for deletion of the selections of your choice are very suspect. Given you have a history of deleting content from various Misplaced Pages pages.  Mswari  17:47, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
@Mswari: That's a very vague explanation though. And my history of deleting content mainly involves reverting vandalism and cleaning up problem articles (see WP:VANDNOT). Like I said before, I'm genuinely doing my best as an editor here; I am in no way trying to vandalize. And honestly, I would like if you takeback/strikeout your comment accusing me of vandalism.  Bait30  20:43, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Genre Warrior

Misplaced Pages:Genre warrior says at the top: "It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Misplaced Pages contributors. This page is not one of Misplaced Pages's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints."

@207.62.170.218: That is a standard message that pops up for WP articles that are not official policies or guidelines. However, WP:GWAR is simply a compilation/explanation of the relevant Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines that govern genre editing. Also there is consensus on WP:ALBUM that WP:GWAR is a proper guideline to follow for genres. I did also mention WP:NOR, which is an official policy, in my edit summary. Adding genres without reliable sources is original research. Anyways, I also want to give you a heads up that your "read" comment kinda comes off as a bit snarky and WP:UNCIVIL.  Bait30   02:31, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know how to use this page but I wanted to send you a message. Please put back the detailed table of the number of COVID-19 cases per state per day. That is a needed table. Thanks. Doashen (talk) 18:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC) d

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Strake Jesuit High School. 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 the sandbox. The newspaper source you added in no way verifies your edit. UIL is the state sanctioning body, and that's all. Now, Texas does not have independent conferences like most state, so we routinely enter the UIL district number in the conference parameter, thus: |conference= UIL district xx, followed by a citation (we usually link to the appropriate link at UIL) John from Idegon (talk) 02:26, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: Take a look at the article again. It literally states in the article "Shadow Creek is moving up to 6A and it’s no surprise where the Class 5A Division I football champions land - in District 23-6A with Alief Taylor, Hastings, Elsik, Alvin, Strake Jesuit and Pearland and Dawson." What part of that WP:RS does not verify my edit? I'm sorry that I didn't realize that UIL is not an athletic conference, but you could've easily fixed that by reading the cited article instead of just templating me with a level 2 warning template. Besides, taking a look at Thomas Jefferson High School (Dallas), Big Sandy High School (Big Sandy, Texas), Katy High School, Westlake High School (Texas), North Shore Senior High School (Texas), Rocksprings High School, Carroll Senior High School, The Woodlands High School, John Marshall High School (Leon Valley, Texas), William Howard Taft High School (San Antonio), Junction High School, Amarillo High School, Granbury High School, Abilene High School (Texas), Georgetown High School (Texas), Arlington Heights High School, and Odessa High School among others, I don't see any sort of consistency or consensus to list conference as "UIL district xx". For the most part I see "UIL Class xA", which again is verifiable in the source I provided.  Bait30   03:37, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
  • If you had the class and district in there, I didn't see it and I apologize. The reference should be at the end of the entry, not after UIL. Also, why are you sourcing it to a newspaper article? Why not to the UIL itself? This is one case where a primary source is the best source. John from Idegon (talk) 18:29, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
