Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Your edit to ABC

The page ABC is what we call a disambiguation page. Its purpose is to help people navigate to pages when the term they are looking for is ambiguous. You created an entry for "Appropriate Byte Counting". The problem with the entry is that neither of the two links you provided, TCP/IP and Protocol stack, discuss the term at all. The way a disambiguation page works is that the link in the entry should take you to the most appropriate page in the encyclopedia where you can learn about the term being disambiguated. To add Appropriate Byte Counting to the ABC page we would need either a standalone article about it, or we would need to have another article that discusses what it is. If you have any questions just post here and I will see it. -- GB fan 10:38, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Africa (Toto song). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Josepolivares (talk) 18 March 2017 (UTC)

I strongly recommend you re-read the edit history. I restored a long-existing but of content removed by an IP User without comment or justification.

The only content *I* added to that page had TWO references initially.

Please, make an effort to be more thorough in your analysis before jumping to conclusions. Wikipedia is a big place, and I know it can be a little daunting, but it is an encyclopedia and details matter. with just a *little* more care on your part, you could really make a big difference!

Thanks for editing! Orenwolf (talk) 18:41, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, please take your own advice to heart and don't accuse me of being "more interested in removing content than contributing to the Wiki by adding references" because I removed unsourced content. Something I explained precisely in my edit summary, but you termed "arbitrary". The Africa (Toto song) article has long suffered from unsourced junk trivia that readers are expected to accept on the word of an anonymous editor. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Content should be sourced.

Unfortunately, the cites you provided are from http://www.whosampled.com. This is a user generated website, and as such not a reliable source. I've left the content there, suitably flagged for the moment. The use of samples in other songs is a legal minefield, so it's important Wikipedia gets it right.

As you say, details matter. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 20:12, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
