Sources are important

When adding content to Wikipedia articles always remember to provide reliable sources to support the content added. Vsmith (talk) 13:33, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doin' my best. GlowingLava (talk) 06:16, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Userboxes

The "this user" thing you wish to include (as mentioned on your userpage) is called a userbox. There's a collection of possibilities over at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 19:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I love them. Also I copied your name color. GlowingLava (talk) 05:11, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics [huge template removed] You are far from 500 edits, so you are unable to make edits related to the Arab-Israeli conflict, which includes the ICC arrest warrants against PM Netanyahu. 331dot (talk) 08:36, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, edit requests do not require EC status. Thanks. GlowingLava (talk) 08:47, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Only simple edit requests that do not require discussion are permitted(as a practical matter that is limited to spelling/grammar fixes). How prominently to place the ICC warrants in Bibi's article requires discussion that you cannot participate in. 331dot (talk) 08:48, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see, this was not apparent in the info provided on Edit Requests. I figured simply not participating in a discussion that I started was good enough but I guess that's not how it's done.

GlowingLava (talk) 08:54, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your account is well over 30 days old, you only need to reach 500 substantive edits(i.e. not edits made simply to reach 500). 331dot (talk) 08:56, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You've now reached 500 edits. I highly suggest that you first discuss any potentially controversial changes to Netanayhu's article on the talk page before implementing them; you've already been reverted. Highly visible articles about contentious topics should be edited with care. 331dot (talk) 16:35, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

July 2025

Hello, I'm Owen250708. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to 2025 United States protests against mass deportation seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Owen250708 (talk) 12:23, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Owen, that seems mostly fair. I think I was able to vastly improve my edit. In general, especially on articles that involve ongoing events, bold editing is useful. I want to be clear that if ICE commits large prominent repeated inflammatory illegal acts, it's not necessarily biased to write about it, even if it might be upsetting to read. GlowingLava (talk) 06:17, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I noticed you added content to the article Montreal, but didn't provide a reliable source. On Wikipedia, it's important that article content be verifiable, so please include a citation for any content you add or change. A different Wikipedia article does not count as a reliable source. You may want to read/review Referencing for beginners. If you have any questions/comments/concerns, you can reply to this message. I would be happy to elaborate on sourcing (such as how to cite the city website properly) and/or the details of this edit (such as how placenames work in Quebec). Thank you. — W.andrea (talk) 15:23, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you have said you're uninterested in having me post on your talk page, I respect that. Where I come from, boundaries usually go both ways. GlowingLava (talk) 06:07, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please

I apologize in advance, I know there's no clean way to ask you to please reflect a little more about the degree to which you are imposing your particularly intense interest in circumcision onto the rest of the encyclopedia, but I can only be honest that that's what I see happening. Remsense 🌈 论 06:48, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's a fair thing to ask. I figure I'll get a new special interest soon but I'll think about it. GlowingLava (talk) 06:52, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Freedom of religion

Thanks for thisw revert. I probably lost focus because of an interruption while running my watchlist and screwed this up when I got back to it. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 01:33, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oki yea! GlowingLava (talk) 05:09, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
