Edit misidentified as good faith
This edit is NOT good faith. 1) it removed content without giving a valid reason for doing so, and 2) It introduced deliberate factual errors. ElectricBurst(Electron firings)(Zaps) 20:00, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Electricburst1996: The deliberate factual errors part was hard to determine. I'd rather assume good faith than hit the vandalism button. If I mistakenly make that assumption, please do feel free to warn the user in question. In this case, I see this is the user who spams categories... I'll deal with it. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:03, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- Not who I thought it was at first glance... unless they're using a proxy. I don't see any other vandalism from that IP range related to cartoon pages. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 20:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Good day, my friend. There seems to be some confusion regarding an edit of mine you mistakenly identified as vandalism despite the fact that I thought my edit summary explained the edit rather clearly [1]. The guidelines state that any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. I'm not eager in the least to get into any kind of conflict over this, especially since I think I'm being pretty faithful to the guidelines. Best regards. 47.55.192.66 (talk) 01:13, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- @47.55.192.66: Hello there! Sorry about that! I see what you did now: moved the sourced info I thought was missing to a new section at the bottom of the page. That does seem okay to me. Athomeinkobe mentioned breaking it up into smaller edits. If you can, that's sometimes preferred as it lets people revert small edits and add sources where needed (if they're inclined to). EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 01:35, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- After taking a second look, it appears I initially misread also. Having said that, I think the initial chronological format should be kept, rather than putting details of his high school and college at the end of the article. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:39, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'll try to get to it tomorrow if it's not dealt with. よろしくお願い. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 01:46, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Athomeinkobe: OK, well you have already gone ahead and reverted my work again. You guys do seem a bit trigger happy, and as I said I don't want to get into a edit war needlessly. Does anyone object to me reverting Athomeinkobe's last revert, and then we can start from that point? I don't agree that "the initial chronological format" should be kept as there is very little sourced info. I think putting it a "Personal info" section at the end is a more than workable solution, as that way the little bits of info can be consolidated in one place. 47.55.192.66 (talk) 15:52, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- 47.55.192.66 I'll just note that I did that revert before seeing the discussion here, and it was the second time total that it had been reverted (after EvergreenFir had also reverted once. But you are correct that we should avoid any warring over this. I'm going to paste the removed text to the article's talk page, which is also the place where this discussion should continue. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:33, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- P.S. I've just noticed that Hirolovesswords has also reverted IP47's removal of the text. For the sake of simplicity, I have reverted that change so that the article is currently in the shortened form. I am going to paste the entire long version to the talk page, so that we can pick it apart and identify what is (or can be) sourced for inclusion). AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:39, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- You guys are collectively the Wikipedia equivalent of a Rube Goldberg Machine. Sorry guys but you just convinced me to quit Wikipedia. Pat yourselves on the back. 47.55.192.66 (talk) 00:55, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- @47.55.192.66: I know how frustrating Wikipedia is and I'm sorry. I think we've got most stuff in the article sourced now. If there's a particular item that's unsourced, point it out and I'll take a look. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 01:20, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- @47.55.192.66: I am disappointed to hear you feel that way. I see 4 different editors have each reverted you once, so that must be frustrating. On the other hand, both I and one other subsequently undid those reversions. I am also trying to make something happen at the talk page. You raised an important point, and personally I feel like I have tried to help address it in the best manner that I could think of. I echo EvergreenFir's invitation to point out any specific items that you disagree with. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:28, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

- @46.161.106.48: if I have made a mistake you are free to revert me, hun. Looking at the article for the Football Association I only saw presidents going until 1992 so I assumed that's when it ended. My knowledge of the area isn't the best so my apologies if I'm in error.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Adventist Health System, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sanitarium (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

- I am trying to CORRECT MISLEADING views on Evergreen being muslim. I have examined the evidence on Evergreen and every single evidence points to Evergreen being a Jew. I want to ENRICH the person here making the post with correct information that evergreen is not muslim but most likely Jewish. This will add to the fruitfulness of advancing the argument if one knows that evergreen is not muslim but Jewish. After the person here is unbanned I am going to continue to debate with him or her on the dispute at hand. The person seems to be confused on the identity of evergreen. I want to correct that.

Your question
If you look at the article on the book from which the large table was taken, you will see from the history that the same table was edit warred in and out of that article over a period of several years (it's been out for a while). There have been sockpuppets reinserting it there, together with fly-by-night proxy accounts. Mathsci (talk) 07:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Trump's defense of the LGBT community
As a fellow LGBT Wikipedian, I am baffled by your redaction of Trump's defense of our community from the Orlando article.Zigzig20s (talk) 03:56, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Zigzig20s and Mandruss: (replying to both at once) I replied at Talk:2016_Orlando_nightclub_shooting#Trump.27s_reaction_YET_AGAIN. In short, it's been contested repeatedly and discussed extensively. My read of the talk page for the past couple days is that people lean toward excluding all political candidates comments or to simply summarize that political figures commented without detail. Zigzig20s, I am not sure why it baffles you. I am not personally interested in Trump's (or Clinton's or Sanders') comments on the matter. I'm a bit surprised, but Trump is inconsistent enough that I'm not meta-surprised (not surprised that I'm surprised). Wikinews is a better location for the information in question. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 04:12, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
Talk page
I linked to the Talk page discussion that I started in my edit summary, the one titled "Men and women" vs "males and females". I have no problem with the current version, but I am just curious why you think men and women is better than males and females? I do not care either way, I am only asking out of curiosity. DimensionQualm (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- @DimensionQualm: My mistake. The link was dark blue (visited) because I'd been to the talk page on Femininity some time ago and it appeared black to me. I'll self-revert. I'm kinda torn about it now that I see the talk page discussion you linked to. Males and females is more inclusive I guess (though still excludes intersex folks), but I think it's more important to say that women as well as men can be masculine. Really all people can be (non-binary folks too). Hm... EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 05:31, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- @DimensionQualm and EvergreenFir: As I just mentioned at the Talk page discussion, I prefer "men and women" as it clarifies that the scope of the article is male and female humans, not any males or females. Kaldari (talk) 06:15, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Kaldari: Okay! I'm kinda ambivalent. Honestly wouldn't mind seeing it just say "all people" (though I can see an argument that those under 3 or so don't have or do gender). EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 06:17, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Could I please get your opinion?
Hi EvergreenFir. The 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting has been added to List of Islamist terrorist attacks and List of Islamist terrorist attacks in developed countries. The inclusion scope of both articles is "Terror attacks by Islamist extremists to further a perceived Islamic religious or political cause". Do you think that the sources (which I know you're very familiar with) support inclusion of the Orlando shooting in these list articles? - MrX 21:16, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Unrelated, just saving you some TOC space. Do community colleges offer courses in Wikipedia Editing? ―Mandruss ☎ 03:19, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

LGBTs
This comment is related to a recent edit of yours of the Orlando shooting article. Having studied LGBT studies of various sorts for more than a quarter century, I can personally assure you that LGBTs is an accepted term. See, e.g., [5] and [6]. Just so you know. Antinoos69 (talk) 07:14, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Antinoos69: I've never seen such use that I can recall (and this is something that I am well-read on like you). I've looked at other dictionary and style guide type sources and do not see this use anywhere ([7], [www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/LGBT], [8]). It's an acronym of adjectives and nominalizing it making it plural doesn't make sense. Note the grammar usage on LGBT for example. When read verbally, it sounds like "gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders", the first and last of which are rather offensive to most. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 07:40, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- Though, admittedly, when I google "LGBTs" I do find some use of that term, most often in titles it seems. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 07:45, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- Well, I've been seeing LGBTs, nominal plural, for as long as I've been seeing LGBT. In addition to my second source above, I'll point you to Google Scholar, where you'll find many scholarly sources of various sorts using the term, both in titles and text. Certainly we can both appreciate the absurdity of continuing this discussion in light of these many sources actually using the term. You'll have to understand that grammatical logic has little to do with these identity-politics/studies nomenclature issues, and that mainstream and/or online sources, including Wikipedia articles, are frequently incomplete and/or unreliable on them.

Please stop reverting my edits in "white pride".
Clearly it is a viewpoint of "positive" regarding people who consider themselves white. How can you dispute that? Are you misreading my edit as if it were suggesting racism is positive in general? That's the only rational alternative I can think of. I see the racist former edits of the page, but man - actually read the edit. White pride is taking pride in being white, mostly used by racists. This goes WITHOUT QUESTION.
