Citadel pages and Military Classic of the South

PLEASE CHECK references before reverting future edits. At Citadel we have 6 graduate and 3 graduate ENTIRELY ONLINE degree programs. Not to mention numerous certificate programs. Also, with enrollment at nearly 2000 students in non-cadet programs, it is unfair to diminish the scope of the programs. Please see: http://www.citadel.edu/root/online-programs-list Regarding military classic, some would have you believe that only a handful of 5th year students play sports... NOT true, and once again check references. Fact: ALL Citadel students, ALL, are eligible to play sports. That's why last year 2 starters on Basketball team had beards.. they were graduate students pursuing Citadel degrees. One graduated IUPUI and one from RPI, and that was just basketball... approx 20 players each year on football team are non-cadets in graduate or undergraduate programs at the Citadel. Again, check references before deleting... NOT accurate to diminish scope of these programs and not in wiki standards. Realsnappy18 (talk) 14:11, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

As you clearly have a conflict of interest on this page, you should not be editing it at all. Please take all edit requests and comments to the article's talk page, as they do not belong on mine. Thank you. ScrpIronIV 14:14, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

There is NO conflict of interest at all. You need to CHECK REFERENCES before reverting.

Promenade editing

How would I source this? It obviously happened as you can see from images on google. Should I make a website that I can source myself? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maryjamescaly (talkcontribs) 18:52, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Actually, no. You would need to find a reliable, independent third party source and cite that. And, actually, since you have a conflict of interest, you would need to suggest the edit on the article's talk page. I suggest you concentrate on other areas of Wikipedia that your family did not own. I will leave some relevant information on your talk page. ScrpIronIV 20:12, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

My family does NOT own Promenade. Please share with me where I said my family owns the Promenade? They owned Thornhill Square in the 80's. Please don't assume. This is not a conflict of interest. No need to be so rude. I am just editing what I believe is valid information. You are so anal about sources. Guess if anything with no sources should be removed, Which will basically leave wikipedia with nothing! I will make a weebly page with the history of Promenade's renovation history along with pics and re post it and cite it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maryjamescaly (talkcontribs) 05:37, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

I did link to where you stated that, in my response. I will repeat that link here. I am sorry that you take my tone to be rude. I have left you a friendly welcome on your page, and invite you to read Wikipedia's policies om reliable sources and verifiability. Unfortunately, a weebly page would not be adequate sourcing. ScrpIronIV 12:31, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

I was refering to THORNHILL SQUARE! NOT Promenade. But whatever. Maryjamescaly (talk)maryjamescaly

I noticed that you removed a reference and a term from the Gen Z lede twice. Let's go to the talk page and have a discussion.

Dassault Rafale

Hey,

Under the potential operators on the Dassault Rafale page, it conveys that the Arab Spring influenced Indian purchase of Rafale. It has not. Clubbing the purchase of Qatar and Eqypt, which are due to the Arab Spring; with the Indian purchase and then saying India purchased it due to the Arab Spring is showing no knowledge of the Indian defence market. Hence, had removed India from that sentence. Indian purchase of the Rafale was to beef up squadron numbers which are fast depleting. Hope this clears it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashwinr1979 (talkcontribs) 04:37, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Just curious...

Why do you keep citing "WP:ANCHORS" in the edit summaries of your content removals? Have you actually looked at that link? It's an inactive page with a soft redirect to an essay. So, how do you suppose that actually supports any of your edits? (Like I said, just curious... ) - theWOLFchild 01:03, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Because it represents the latest consensus regarding anchor and tenant contents for malls. That consensus was recently confirmed in an RFC last month. ScrpIronIV 12:26, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Then why not cite/link that RfC? (and where is that btw?) Again, I don't see how citing an inactive page supports an edit. - theWOLFchild 16:53, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
Follow up; the reason I asked is you've cited it 60 times in the past few days and 27 times after your reply here. But if it doesn't link to anything of use, how can if be useful? Where is the RfC you mentioned and why don't you just link to that? (again, still just curious... ) - theWOLFchild 20:48, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Music video

Hi. I've just noticed your edit summary. (Here on the talk page.) Sorry for the inconvenience, but you really should be more careful when using Twinkle.
What I want to say... I removed the audio sample simply because you said something about "a single link per article". Can I maybe put the sample back? (While leaving the video, I mean.)
I'm asking cause I usually try not to remove other people's work, so I never remove audio samples when adding links to complete videos. (Yes, I've seen it done before, but I would personally leave it there. I'm not sure, but the sample may even be deleted cause it isn't used anywhere anymore. And someone probably put some time into creating it.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:17, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Actually, there is a single link per infobox instruction, and I am looking for it. I had thought it was in WP:ELNO, but I can't find it there. What we end up having here is two links to videos for the song, one in the infobox and one in external links. My larger misunderstanding was linking to copyrighted material, vs linking to copyright violations. There is obviously no violation on a Vevo page. I think I need another cup of coffee... Happy editing! ScrpIronIV 13:42, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
The audio sample link is not external, so WP:ELNO or something like this doesn't apply. (And there are already, like, 11 internal links in the infobox. Yes, I've just counted.) And actually, it's not even a link.
But okay, I won't put it back if you don't like it. I've also thought about putting the sample into a "Composition" section, but, unfortunately, the article is not developed very well and there's no such section. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:57, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
I meant I wanted to do it like this: White Horse (Taylor Swift song)#Composition. --Moscow Connection (talk) 13:57, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
I did it like this: [1]. Feel free to revert if you don't like it. --Moscow Connection (talk) 14:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
I just meant two videos on the page; there was a link labeled Lyrics and Video in the External Links section. That page is lyrics only, so I removed reference to a video in that description. ScrpIronIV 14:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Sakai Entry

I have added my source - Internet Movie Database entry for Saburo Sakai. Based on the biographical information there it is clear it is the same man.

Desertmole — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desertmole (talkcontribs) 20:07, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Desertmole, the source is not reliable, because IMDb allows users to change the information.
Obits in the NY Times[2] and LA Times[3] did not mention a film career. Of course, Saburô Sakai appears in the beginning of the film Samurai of the Sky, he being interviewed at Yasukuni Shrine, but this is not acting. Rather, he appears as himself. Another actor named Hiroshi Fujioka portrays Sakai in the film. Binksternet (talk) 22:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

Barnes Wallis

FYI, there is discussion going on at Talk:Millennials#Cut_down_the_Date_range_section? and an explanation of why the sources were removed [4] to another user. Not sure whose consensus is needed since apparently no one is responding back on the talk page to give reasons why the sources should stick and the only reason for reverting back is "restore to consensus" when there is no consensus.

wp:Tenants and information backed up by secondary sources

Hi! In regards to Micronesia Mall and Toys R Us I reviewed Wikipedia:WikiProject Shopping Centers/Anchors and tenants.

My understanding is the concern is not being an indiscriminate directory. Toys R Us should be included because of the information backed up by secondary sources - Guam newspapers reported on the store as its parent company in the US fell on hard times. It's not certain whether it will stay open. This makes Toys R Us more important to the article than stores not covered in secondary sources. WhisperToMe (talk) 18:30, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Only if it were an Anchor store; simple tenants are not included in mall articles by project consensus. I would equally exclude it per WP:NOTNEWS. A tenant which may or may not be closing in the mall is just not worth mentioning. ScrpIronIV 18:43, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
On Wikipedia generally secondary sources guide what's important for the topic and what isn't. The guideline for whether to include stores doesn't seem to address emphasis or lack thereof from secondary sources. As it stands I believe the coverage of the Guam TRU location means it and its possible closure should be mentioned in the article even if it's not an anchnor store.
I believe WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply here: this means no routine news ("[...]most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."). The liquidation of the US's largest toy store chain is not routine coverage and is most certainly something Wikipedia covers. The effect on the only Guam TRU store is something I would expect to see in the Micro Mall article.
WhisperToMe (talk) 18:52, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
And I wholeheartedly disagree. Tenants come and go routinely in the industry, and often makes the local news. And it is not unusual that a small community like Guam would have only one Toys R Us store. It is absolutely routine for the mall; the coverage of the the bankruptcy and closure of most stores is adequately covered in the Toys R Us article. ScrpIronIV 19:01, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
I am aware tenants come and go, and the business landscape does change frequently. I believe the prominence of TRU (as the largest US toy store chain) and its said collapse (the cultural importance) makes it more important than the bog-standard store closure. While the TRU article adequately covers the phenomenon's overall impact in the US, it won't cover the effects on a community level: how it affects particular malls' income/occupancy, and how children in X community get/will get their toys.
I would like to discuss this further at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shopping Centers but it seems the project is inactive :(

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Hi,

I have a question about the external link I edited. I did this, because the external link above is broken. Its written on the page, that everybody can use the lead sheet. I am not really used in editing wikipedia articles - so maybe I did something wrong. It would be great, if you could explane to me, why you deleted the link. So I can understand what I did wrong.

Regards Matt — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.187.117.109 (talk) 06:52, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

The page claims copyright, and as such, linking to it as a free download could be a copyright violation. Wikipedia has very strict policies in this regard, and it is better to err on the side of caution, and not include it as a source for free materials. I hope this helps! ScrpIronIV 12:31, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for your information. I think, the page is now licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 Generic License. So I hope the link is useful now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.187.117.109 (talk) 19:46, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

The page still contains claim of copyright on the sheet itself, and on th overall page. As you clearly have direct control to the contents of the website, you have a clear conflict of interest regarding its inclusion. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your website. Further attempts by you to include a link to your site will be reverted. Feel free to suggest its inclusion on the article's talk page, so independent editors can make a determination of whether it should be included. ScrpIronIV 16:54, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Bumpy Johnson

Your recent edit on Bumpy Johnson is incorrect, Johnson served two prison terms for conspiracy to trafficking narcotics. One for 10 years the other for 12. He was never caught selling the narcotics himself, only his underlyings so that is why he received a drug trafficking conspiracy charge. Not a drug trafficking charge and a conspiracy charge, that is false. You are spreading false information. Madeguy1931 (talk) 10:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Some sources state that he was imprisoned three times for narcotics related offenses, while others specify he was frequently in and out of prison. This article is a poorly sourced mess, and I will be removing all statements unsupported by reliable sources. ScrpIronIV 12:54, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

If you wish to create a new article for the caste, then that is what you must explicitly do. Changing the existing town entry into a caste entry effectively delete's the town's article.

No Such Thing As An Assault Weapon

There IS no such thing as an assault weapon. It's just a made up, SJW leftist term used in order to scare people that don't know what they're talking about into giving up their rights to people with guns. Fact. https://defensivepopulace.net/there-is-no-such-thing-as-an-assault-weapon/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spottedfeather (talkcontribs) 17:24, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

As a former infantry soldier AND a military historian, you are categorically incorrect. Fully automatic, military rifles - such as the AK-47 - are classified as assault weapons. The term is derived from "Sturmgewehr" and dates back to World War II. The term is often misused, but it is the appropriate term for this particular rifle in a military configuration. ScrpIronIV 18:11, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Assault rifle is an internationally used and widely recognised purely technical term (a direct translation of the German word "Sturmgewehr"), describing a type of weapon (a select fire, i.e. with provision for both single-shot and fully automatic fire, weapon with a detachable magazine, chambered for an intermediate cartridge) that can not be legally owned by civilians in North America, Europe and most other places on Earth, while assault weapon is a legal/political term used only in the U.S. (AFAIK), describing semi-automatic weapons with certain features, weapons that can be legally owned by civilians, at least in the United States. The two terms thus have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, and removing the term "assault rifle" from articles about military weapons that technically are assault rifles because of disliking the purely civilian/legal/political term "assault weapon" is a sign of utter ignorance. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 18:30, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

I've just deleted what appeared to be a hoax draft article about a "House of Kohtala" claimed to be the "Royal Finnish House" with an ancestor who proclaimed himself the heir to the Finnish throne. See Monarchy of Finland and Kingdom of Finland (1918). The only source was https://wikivividly.com/wiki/List_of_current_pretenders a copy of our article where the editor had inserted Kohtala.

Toys “R” Us

Regarding this revision, don’t we already know it’s going to happen? It’s already happened in the UK as far as I can tell, and the dates are citated. Interqwark talk contribs 22:16, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Re-added

I have re-added the information that you removed in the infobox on Toys “R” Us. The stores have already closed in the United Kingdom, and the closing date for America’s stores is only 20 days away. I’m sure this can be included as well, but you disagree, this should be discussed on the article’s talk page. The UK date should be included regardless since it has already happened.

Question about your revert

Hi, ScrapIronIV. I was wondering why you reverted another revision of mine on Toys “R” Us. A date and a citation is not excessive information for an infobox, and I don’t see how it’s “factually inaccurate”; the date is sourced.

I see how it might not be necessary for the infobox since it doesn’t apply to the entire organization, however. I don’t see a downside to including that information in the infobox, though. If not in the infobox, it should be included somewhere in the body of the article. Interqwark talk contribs 14:17, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

If you include the UK - and the UK only - in the body of the article, that would be fine. Putting inaccurate corporate-wide information in the infobox is what is unacceptable. ScrpIronIV 16:36, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
All right.
Just a note: It’s always better to discuss changes that other editors disagree with, even if you think you’re right—rather than reverting and participating in an edit war. Interqwark talk contribs 18:29, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

You're demanding reliable sources for the plotlines of episodes of an old, almost forgotten TV series? Where would I get sources for those details from? I watched the episodes recently, so I know what happened. Jim Michael (talk) 13:00, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Personal experience is not what Wikipedia uses for sources. Also, you need to work on your overlinking problem. ScrpIronIV 13:03, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
You haven't tried to answer my question - how would I get reliable sources for the episodes? There are no sources on the article at all. Based on your reasoning, the whole article should be deleted as unsourced. Why merely revert one edit? Jim Michael (talk) 13:06, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps that would be the best option. Feel free to nominate it. ScrpIronIV 13:17, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
I don't want it deleted; I want it improved. You're still avoiding answering my questions: if you're opposed to the details not being sourced, why did you merely revert one edit? If you're demanding sources, where would they come from - the only online sources would be user-generated info in IMDb, fan sites etc. that aren't considered reliable. Episode reviews from over a quarter of a century ago for an almost forgotten TV series aren't going to have been published in reliable sources online at the time or since. Jim Michael (talk) 13:24, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
Sources are not optional. You wish to add these "improvements" so it is incumbent on you to find and provide them. If you are unable to find sources, then you should not add the information. Savvy? ScrpIronIV 13:40, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
There are no sources on the article. You're opposed to unsourced, uncontroversial information - yet you're not trying to delete the article or the vast majority of its contents. You haven't reverted the vast majority of the other edits, so why today's one? You're not trying to improve the article, yet you're bizarrely trying to take ownership of it. It's not a controversial article - it's information about the events in the episodes of an old, almost-forgotten fictional TV series. The contributors are going to be the few fans of it. If you're knowledgeable about 2point4 Children, help improve the article; if not, why are you there? Jim Michael (talk) 13:49, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

Nashville Zoo

Hello,

Over the past couple of days, two of our employees have attempted to make updates to the Nashville Zoo wikipedia page, and have had their edits reverted by you. As they were having issues, I created this account and read through the page history to see why the edits had been removed.

I looked through WP:COI and made sure to be clear on my talk page what our intent is and that our goal is to keep everything factual and objective. I spoke to both employees about properly citing sources and keeping statements objective and not promotional, and have asked them to send all changes through me to make the edits. I would appreciate any guidance as to how we can avoid making any of the edits sound promotional, as I will make sure we use proper citations for any changes that are made.

The zoo has changed dramatically since the page was created. Some of the information is outdated and even incorrect, and the page does not reflect the zoo as it is today. Several institutions like ours have been able to edit their respective pages in the past to reflect changes to the zoo, including new exhibits and conservation work. I am hoping we will be able to do the same.

Again, I would appreciate any insight or guidance as to how we can update the page without issue. Thank you for any help.

I have responded on your talk page with an outline of how to propose changes when you have a conflict of interest. Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a social media site. Feel free to propose any reliably sourced (independent, third-party sources) changes to the article's talk page, and an independent volunteer editor will review it and include it in the article where appropriate. ScrpIronIV 14:53, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely follow your suggestions and read all associated pages. As for avoiding linking our own website, I have noticed that several organizations like ours, including Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, Minnesota Zoo, San Diego Zoo, Dallas Zoo, Detroit Zoo, etc. include links to their respective websites throughout their Wiki pages? In some cases, the only truly reliable source for information about our organization may be our own website. Am I able to propose an edit that links to our website for review? Cfifer (talk) 15:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
While it is preferred to use independent sites, for company info we do allow for some WP:PRIMARY sources like a company website. Each item would be reviewed on the article's talk page and a determination would be made then. One thing I have noticed in the edits I reverted were direct links to your website in the body of the article. While we may use the URL for a properly formatted reference, Wikipedia does not permit such direct linking to external websites. ScrpIronIV 17:01, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

History of Haunt events

Hello,

I just want to clear up this situation if possible. You claim, if I'm reading your reasons for editing correctly, that the history of haunted attractions at Haunt events such as Knott's Scary Farm and now Halloween Horror Nights are "excessive, promotional, and unencyclopedic." Though I might see your point when it comes to being excessive, I completely disagree with this information being promotional or "unencyclopedic," as you put it. The definition of being promotional is "to increase sales or public awareness." I sincerely doubt that this Wikipedia page does either of those, as one would need to know of the event beforehand to search for this page in the first place. As for being "unencyclopedic," the definition of encyclopedic is "comprehensive in terms of information," which definitely includes the information you want to edit out. It isn't as if you're editing out opinions, these are all historical facts. Finally, even with the excessive claim, that is somewhat of a stretch as I cannot imagine that two relatively small wiki pages are causing any problems when it comes to the amount of space they take up on the Internet.

In regards to the Conflict of Interest claim you made against me, I will state that I have never been employed (neither am I currently employed) by Knott's Berry Farm, Cedar Fair, Universal Studios, or any other company that runs or has any affiliation with either of these events. Whether you believe me or not is up to you, but I only enjoy attending these events, nothing more. My only goals with trying to keep this information posted are in the interest of posterity and for it to be readily accessible.

I would rather not have to keep going back and forth on this if possible, so in order to resolve this issue is there some way to mediate this by taking it to someone with more authority?

Hey, whats up!

Hi ScrapIronIV,

How are you? I see that you are reverting my edits on Ravi Shankar´s Wikipedia page. Being a Veteran Editor means that you are not doing it just because you don´t like Ravi´s poems :) Of course I see the conviction, but I don´t understand the grudge you have with the guy.

As you can see from my edits, I do not want to erase the information that the guy was convicted, just want to add the stuff he did in his career. Of course, every information has a valid link to the source and I don´t want to make stuff up. What is wrong with that?

Personally, I am not Indian nor American and only Ravi Shankar I knew was a really good musician :)

Hope that we can make something out so both of us can be happy :D

Kind regards ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hipnerotomahija (talkcontribs) 22:38, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Luise Rainer

The estate auction bit makes sense now (I'm a noob). But the death location of Belgravia is accurate and mentioned in the article, a lot of people have those details so if they're not relevant (death location) could you please elaborate on 'why?' Charlieh 55 (talk) 13:55, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

I had no issue except for the fact that Belgravia was not mentioned in the article. Eaton Place is, but it is not common knowledge that Eaton Place is in Belgravia. Information in the infobox should be a summary of what is actually in the article; I would recommend putting Eaton Place in the infobox, or adding Belgravia to the article text. I would support either change so that the information in the infobox matches the content in the article itself. ScrpIronIV 14:12, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Incompatible categories

Hello.

Please don't restore categories that are incompatible with the murder of Gwen Araujo article. As its name clearly states, the article is about a crime. It's obvious to most people that a crime is an action performed by somebody. A crime is not a victim, does not have a year of birth or a year of death, etc. Such categories are incompatible to articles about crimes, they are only compatible with articles about people. This is why we place them on the redirect instead. Please see WP:INCOMPATIBLE and WP:CATEGORIZATION; in the latter, please read especially the "General conventions" section, where the difference between a topic category and a set category is explained.

And please do not revert again.

Italian IPA section

47.32.20.133 is an anon from USA who's been keeping lately intruding in non-English phonetic issues, especially Italian. He's used to arbitrarily making changes not shared by anyone else, and when he's reverted he doesn't stop but goes on edit-warring, as you've seen. About the present issue, he's showing his unsuitability to take care about it: Italian syllabification, when there's an /s/ before another consonant ("S impura"), prescribes that the /s/ is always at the beginning of the following syllable, never at the end of the previous; now, since the IPA stress mark ˈ goes right before the stressed syllable, for consistency reasons it should precede the /s/ instead of following it. Don't you think so too? You asked for sources. Well, here's a page from the major Italian encyclopedy Treccani, and here's the book "Analisi contrastiva in glottodidattica: tra teoria e pratica in classi tedesco L1/italiano LS". And, in case you want to verify that the correct syllabification is "ca-stel-lo", you can check any Italian dictionary, such as the following: ca stel lo. Last but not least: I have nothing to do with the other anons you rollbacked some time ago, 37.169.1.133 and 75.37.201.17, but I don't think that 47.32.20.133 is involved either. Mosidan (talk) 21:33, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

ScrapIron, I'm glad you're on top of the warring that's going on (Castel Gandolfo, Città di Castello). I have no intention of warring; I just want to get the information right. If you review the little history of those two, you'll see that I gave explanation and sources (perhaps not in standard form, but the guy reverting knows exactly what they are -- see below; he's seen the source many times before), and at least once I requested that the reverter (who gave no sources or reason for reverting) stop warring and take disagreements to talk. It's a long story, but this guy has been chasing me around for quite a while, with different monikers. At first I thought he was serious, and dug up lots of information on Italian phonetic syllabification that very clearly illustrates the point in question, from recognized experts in Italian phonology and phonetics as well as an Italian encyclopedia, and posted it to a talk page. To no avail. He just reverts. (I'll make a correction now on a page I've never worked on before; unless you've sent him the same warning and he takes it seriously, it's a safe bet that he'll chase it down and revert that one, too.) I'd appreciate your advice on how to improve articles with accurate information in such a situation. Thanks. 47.32.20.133 (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Bingo. Like clockwork. Reverted, claiming that my doubly-sourced correction was disruptive (ignoring and and removing the references, of course). Literally incorrigible. The irony in this one is that it takes no knowledge of Italian phonotactics to sort it out: the audio in "listen" is very clearly [sˈk], not [ˈsk]. 47.32.20.133 (talk) 12:31, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
For BOTH of you - unsourced and uncited changes will be restored to the last known good version before either of you touched the article. Corrections to existing pronunciations need to be supported by reliable sources. My next step is to report you both for edit warring. Take your concerns to the article talk pages, and reach a consensus before making further changes. ScrpIronIV 12:41, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring the good version of Pescara. I assure you that I have no intention of warring; my sole purpose is to contribute accurate, and thus informative, content to Wikipedia. I'm quite amenable to engaging in civil discussion. In the case of syllabification of Italian s+C clusters, the mix-up should be easily resolvable once background information is considered and understood, both the empirical facts of Italian phonetics-phonology and the differing purposes/practices of Italian dictionaries vs. informed objective studies of actual phonetics (Sabatini and Coletti, for example, make it clear in the intro to their dictionary -- p. v -- that the syllabification they provide of "difficult" clusters does not necessarily correspond to actual syllabification). There is one concern re sourcing. Syllabification of s+C is a basic phonological principle that applies wherever the cluster is encountered; it's unlikely that an acceptable source can be found for every specific instance, in which case the source is reference to the principle itself. In any case, thanks for your help in sorting this out. 47.32.20.133 (talk) 13:35, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

ScrapIronIV, have you read what I've written about the phonetic issue and watched the sources I've brought? Please have a look here to this edit of mine, where everything is already explained. 47.32.20.133 isn't stupid at all, he's quite clever, he's acting polite and using fake arguments to manipulate you and make you do what he wants. Just look at facts and nothing else: those Italian IPAs have always been there and are identical to the same IPAs in Italian wiki; then this anon has come here and, against sources, consistency, logic and (overall) consensus, started a personal war against these correct and consensual phonetic transcriptions. Isn't it as I've just written? So, I'm asking you, please, to keep an eye on him and revert him again in case he should make such disruptive edits again. Just one final note: the last known good version before either of us touched the article Pescara is this, while you've restored this, the anon's personal version (have a look here to the Merriam-Webster's Geographical Dictionary if you have any doubts about the properness of the syllabification "Pe-sca-ra")... Mosidan (talk) 13:33, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Estate values on pages of Old Hollywood stars

I have not added Richard Burton's estate figures back to his page yet. However, I added it in originally due to the fact this sort of detail appears in the following:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallulah_Bankhead#Retirement_and_death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr#Later_years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Dietrich#Estate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Garland#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincente_Minnelli#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greta_Garbo#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Dressler#Death

College Football, Ice Hockey, and Hurling/Gaelic football for Fenway Park - DylanFaraci98

I am providing the link for each team/event in the table. And 85-90% of the time it shows exactly what is shown in the table. It kind of pisses me off because this is the second time this has happened.

In addition to linking, you must supply a reliable source that specifies that these games were held in this location. Unsourced additions have been challenged, and are not to be restored without a citation to a reliable source. ScrpIronIV 12:43, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
