Disambiguation link notification for April 27
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Compton High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Latino. 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.)

Wyly
[edit]Hello. I wanted to reply to the Wyly section you left on my talk page. If you look at the Wyly article before I started editing versus what was the end result, you will see a stark contrast and a dramatic improvement. The article before I started editing was clearly written by someone close to Sam Wyly or at the worst, paid by him. The article flouted his business acumen and industriousness and painted his multiple criminal and civil investigations as a witch hunt. By that indication I believe anyone would conclude that the article has been compromised. Any claim regarding Wyly that I could not find a source for, I did not include in the article and if I missed anything I apologize and appreciate the work of other editors such as yourself who review the changes. I want to thank you for reaching out to me and I look forward to editing with you in the future.

There is a discussion about major allies (Whether add China or France)
[edit]There is a discussion about whether add China or France as Principal Allied powers. I see you enolve the discussion before. [| Can you join the discussion?]
new topic
[edit]Hello, I am new in wiki. I see you in a discussion and also debate with others in their personal talk page. I think that may violate the wiki rule and may get ban from wiki by this behaviour. I think just discussion in the talk page is the best way and don't debate the same topic in others' personal talk page. You may invite others to join but not debate in their personal page. I may join that discussion later.Lijing1989 (talk)
- Maybe. I'm tired of that discussion now. You can add a signature to your message by using four "~" like "Alexysun (talk) 03:26, 19 May 2023 (UTC)". Alexysun (talk) 03:26, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I add signature now. I'm not familiar with that. Discussing such matters can be very tedious and time-consuming. I agree that it's not worth spending a lot of time on it. I support you not to waste time on that. I joined the discussion, but I don't want to engage in arguments, as it would be original research and not in line with Wikipedia's rules. Instead, I will use historical documents as references. There are plenty of official documents in that time that prove China and France were major allies. I don't know why they are being ignored?

Undiscussed move
[edit]Hi there. I've reverted your undiscussed move of Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician). There is a banner right at the top of the page that says Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed.
If an article is undergoing an RM, it should not be moved unilaterally. Thank you. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:29, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, but who gets to decide when the discussion is closed? Alexysun (talk) 03:54, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- WP:RMs must remain open for one week. After that, any experienced uninvolved Wikipedian can close it. Uninvolved means the closer did not !vote in the discussion. The RM template will trigger the attention of folks that specialize in closing RMs, so shouldn't require any action on our side. –Novem Linguae (talk) 05:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, I'm Steel1943. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 20:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

- This was the comment. Telling someone to "shut yo goofy ass up" and calling them an "anonymous mf" are completely inappropriate. I am an administrator and this is a formal warning. If this behavior is repeated you will be blocked. Please carefully read WP:NPA. Wikipedia is not Reddit or an online forum where you can just cuss out other people and get into flame wars, it is more like a workplace where we always stay civil and we try to focus most of our discussion on improving encyclopedia articles. Thank you for your attention to this matter. –Novem Linguae (talk) 21:08, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
- I understand. That's my bad. What the person wrote though was clearly bigoted and extremely anti-Republican Party. They went completely ad hominem on the Representative with no relation to the discussion at hand. They had no motives to talk about the disambiguation, but rather wanted to voice their grievances online. Alexysun (talk) 00:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
- True. Their comment was really provocative. My tone was probably too harsh here, I should have read their comment more carefully, so sorry for that. I'm glad we're on the same page and hopefully it'll be smooth sailing going forward. –Novem Linguae (talk) 00:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Alexysun
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Dan Leonard, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Fentanyl crisis in San Francisco, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Dan Leonard}}
. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

[edit] Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at NationsBank, you may be blocked from editing. Graham87 (talk) 04:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- The source says nothing about October 1998. Graham87 (talk) 10:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Graham87 The Bank of America article states:
- "NationsBank of Charlotte acquired BankAmerica in October 1998 in what was the largest bank acquisition in history at that time." with that reference.
- I did not write this sentence. If the reference does not say "October 1998" then this sentence may or may not be incorrect. I assumed the sentence was correct without reading through the reference.
- Alexysun (talk) 17:21, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah it's not safe to assume that a given reference supports a given fact in a Wikipedia article without checking first (or at least checking the page history), especially in an age when newer editors are encouraged to use such tools as Citation Hunt. In this case the reference was added well after the fact; I discovered this with WikiBlame. The month probably is correct but I don't have enough energy or interest to dig out a proper ref.

Speedy deletion nomination of NBSPLV
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on NBSPLV requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Claggy (talk) 05:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your contributions to NBSPLV. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and they need to be solid independent reliable sources, unlike the three in the page now. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
battle of shanghai: sihang warehouse: obstructive editing?
[edit]hi Alexysun. I'm reaching out to you as another enthusiastic editor of the battle of shanghai page. it seems that this adachi guy has been implementing his own narrative of sihang warehouse by framing the battle as a skirmish and chinese propaganda. could you share you thoughts on this? Wahreit (talk) 03:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Wahreit you are always welcome to tag me on these discussions or talk to me directly if you have questions/problems, evidently you are very interested in my contributions. The Battle of Shanghai was fought not by China alone, the Japanese perspective and their records, along with what third party observers saw should be included as well for a balanced narrative. As I've said in the Sihang Warehouse talk page, Robinson's book has been thoroughly debunked and is not a suitable source in an academic context. "Chinese Alamo" by Eric Niderost (which Robinson also cites) is not a suitable source either, there are no citations. The Battle of Shanghai page has a lot of other bad sources like this and I think overall you've been doing a good job at improving the page. If I truly had a narrative, I'd be fudging the Japanese numbers all over the place. Adachi1939 (talk) 04:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- the reason why i haven't been willing to discuss this issue with you right now is because i've read your talk page. from what is visible, you have a habit of asserting japanese combat records as fact and aggressively confronting other editors when they disagree. this was seemingly or at least partially confirmed when i made a few edits to the sihang warehouse page some time ago, because you immediately reverted all of them without nuance. if we're going to have a conversation, then you gotta respect other editor's contributions and not resort to personal attacks on their character. for the time being, i'm going to gauge what other relevant users think of the situation. you're free to continue this discussion on my own talk page, but don't shadow me too closely. Wahreit (talk) 04:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I am trying to be nicer. Likewise it would be appreciated if you don't run around describing me as the "adachi guy" who is "intent on promoting his own version of the battle, whilst suppressing all dissenting viewpoints" every time I make some changes. Have you ever stopped to consider this sounds a lot like projection and you are in fact the one promoting your own version of the battle and attempting to suppress changes? Whoever wrote the prior version of events for the Sihang Warehouse section on the Battle of Shanghai article completely ignored Japanese sources. If anything that is suppression of dissenting viewpoints. I changed it so to offer a more balanced view of the events, while still keeping in Chinese claims. There is a lot more than just combat reports backing my edits. I have looked into a vast array of Japanese-language sources on the subject after exhausting English ones. Your initial edits to the article were not reverted without nuance for conflicting with my viewpoint, they were reverted because you asserted a division to be engaged in the battle using non-reputable sources when it was in fact was not even present in the area. I have no "version" or "viewpoint" regarding any conflict in the Second Sino-Japanese War. I don't think anybody making large edits should. Just use reliable sources and present the information in a neutral tone. Records from opposing sides rarely match perfectly, so when they inevitably have discrepancies, it's best to offer information from both sides and allow the readers to make their own decision. Wikipedia articles aren't meant to be anyone's personal soapbox. Adachi1939 (talk) 05:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- continue this in my personal talk page, i don't want alexysun waking up to a multi-paragraph dispute in his talk page. and again, refrain from personal attacks, because you just made another one in your response. Wahreit (talk) 05:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Wahreit Hi Wahreit. First, Thank you for involving me. Sorry for taking a while to reply. I have not been paying attention to the Sihang Warehouse article recently, so I will have to go and take a look at what he has done. Alexysun (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
