Middle Name

edit

Ella's middle name is [unsourced name removed - GP]. Every website says that except for Wikipedia. JohnnieMackRoney (talk) 12:34, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

@JohnnieMackRoney: Find one of those myriad websites that state that, that also meet our reliable source standards and we can include it in the article. Until then we can't put it in. Geraldo Perez (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sourcing discussion

Why is it my responsibility to bring a discussion to the talk page when the person who reverted me refused to explain beyond “NYEH! The other source was better!” and threatened to report me when his reasoning wasn’t substantial enough to justify?--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 19:28, 18 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

(Pinging Amaury who reverted you. –Davey2010Talk 19:43, 18 September 2019 (UTC))Reply
FWIW, Fanlala is WP:NOTRS. So, yes, the Seventeen source (and this should be used, not the Yahoo retread) is preferable, and should be used instead... As for the All That credit, it should be handled like it was at Riele Downs... But, Simmerdon3448, I think Amaury's real objection is you did not use an edit summary with those edits – if you use an edit summary, other editors are more likely to accept your edits, as they will understand what you are trying to do. --IJBall (contribstalk) 21:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
It’s not like Amaury used his edit summaries any better. I asked him for an objective reason why he reverted me, and he never directly answered, and instead threatened to report me with no real basis--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Simmerdon3448: You need to stop, as you're edit warring. This isn't about "who was right". At this point, you should let somebody else make the edit. I will probably do it myself, but I'm not in any hurry – it may take me a day. But WP:NOHURRY applies here as well. --IJBall (contribstalk) 02:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
If it’s not about who was right, then why does Amaury get to get away with flimsy justification for his reversions but when I invoke Wikipedia policy, I get called an edit warrer? I came to the talk page, and the issue was explained and resolved. If it’s not about who’s right, why is one user being painted as the bad guy by being given talk page warnings for things he did not do?--Simmerdon3448 (talk) 02:59, 19 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Done – source replaced, and other sources added... --IJBall (contribstalk) 12:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
