Reversion

What gives you the right to revert my edit to the Colorado Stem shooting article? It was factually accurate and added color to the article. TopShelf99 (talk) 21:02, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit went against Wikipedia's Manual of Style. Wikipedia only uses deadnames in certain cases and that is not one. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 21:10, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @TopShelf99. I initially reverted because I didn't see a source, but looking further it appears the information you added already existed elsewhere in the article with a source. Reading the manual of style's section on gender identity it seems that we should only include that information if the subject was notable before adopting their name or in cases when it is otherwise absolutely necessary -- and while it may be debatable whether it's pertinent to include it once, we can probably agree that it's not necessary to repeat it again unless it's in a context where it is absolutely necessary. — tony ^talk 21:14, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find the Manual of Style, as well as a copy of every one of the myriad rules cited by other Wikipedia editors? TopShelf99 (talk) 16:28, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @TopShelf99. You can find the manual of style at this link. I'm also constantly learning more about the manual of style all the time. I want to stress that it's normal to not know everything in the MOS or in Wikipedia's policies -- I know I certainly don't know them all. Sometimes the way we learn about those is by another editor reverting and letting us know. I've had my edits reverted in the past because I didn't know about the way we should structure the first sentence of an article, or what to do when there's a disagreement on someone's date of birth. If someone reverts my edit because I wasn't following a policy or guideline, it's an opportunity for me to improve my own knowledge so I can be a better editor. Just today I learned about whether we should include a list of city counselors in articles about US cities (it turns out we generally shouldn't since they change all the time). Take care :) — tony 17:27, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AV Dark Plugin Kudos

Just wanted to say that the dark mode plugin you made for AV is amazing. Having just started using actual rollback tools---there is zero chance my poor eyes could use AV without it. Great work! Nubzor (T | C) 00:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I wasn't sure if anyone else would find it useful so it's encouraging to hear that positive feedback :) Take care, and see you around! — tony 01:13, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

spelling

It's a film made by a British person, so this is the correct spelling. Patient Zero^talk 03:48, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Patient Zero I learn something new every day! Thank you for letting me know. Also, thank you for everything you do on here -- you constantly beat me to fixing vandalism :) — tony 03:49, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all! And thank you - that's very kind! If you aren't already using it, Huggle is great for rapid reverts when you're on vandalism patrol - although I must say, I do also notice you sometimes beating me to reverts :) Patient Zero^talk 03:52, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sankey Diagram Link

Hi! Tony that was an appropriate link for this page i think so because that page is about Sankey Diagram creation and it helphul for peoples who need it Hafizshafi1993 (talk) 06:32, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hafizshafi1993: No, that link is promotional and clearly wp:spam. Adakiko (talk) 09:27, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page edit

Hi, I don't know how that edit took place, must have been fat thumbs, thanks for reverting it, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 19:41, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been there before, it happens! Take care :) — tony 19:42, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Myles Borne Page

Hey, Myles Borne page has a couple errors on it regarding his relationship. If you click the instagram links that you provided with his marriage you can see that they are no longer posted and all were taken down on his social. The most recent comment from Myles Borne was a tweet where he reference his relationship with Stephanie and refers to her as his “Chilean Queen”. He’s removed everything of his previous wife from his socials and his ex Jadyn also removed everything of him. They don’t follow each other on social media anymore as well. I believe the best way to get accurate information is from Myles himself, you could try and shoot him a message on social media and see if he replies. But as of now all the sources are no longer valid supporting his previous relationship and now points in the direction of his new relationship with Stephanie. Btw his birthday is wrong as well on the page. 2600:1700:1900:F250:BC2C:1BB7:5F09:BB2B (talk) 01:57, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Thank you for the info. So, we can't include original research in articles -- that includes messaging them and it also includes coming to our own conclusions about their relationship (even if they make total sense). We can include stuff that's posted in reliable sources, and I'm guessing the things you're saying will probably be posted in news articles at some point soon (and then we can use those as references). I appreciate you taking the time to make edits regardless, and if you like the place I hope you consider creating an account here :) —tony 02:12, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

https://wrestlingheadlines.com/stephanie-vaquers-boyfriend-revealed-wwe-to-sign-mistico-karrion-kross-reacts-to-reports-he-refuses-to-take-bumps/amp/

there’s a few articles online that discuss the relationship as well as a live interview on Fox with Oba Femi where he confirms that Myles is dating Stephanie. Not sure if this will change anything however, being related to Myles”, David, he would appreciate any news regarding his ex be removed to prevent misinformation going about the internet. 2600:1700:1900:F250:BC2C:1BB7:5F09:BB2B (talk) 02:19, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, I was able to find an SI article that's probably a good place to start. I don't think completely removing the other relationship is necessary just yet, but I will add a quick blurb about Stephanie in the article with this SI article as the reference. If you think something about what I add should be changed, feel free to edit the article as you see fit, so long as you can come to concensus with any other editors if they disagree (just like you did here) :) Take care, and I hope to see you around! —tony 02:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I started editing the article and was about to publish but realized that I don't have enough sourcing to make that claim. The problem is that these statements could be considered kayfabe or just playing up rumors, and we don't have any concrete statements from either of them confirming the relationship by name. Once we have that, you'll probably find that information will be added to the article naturally by other editors. If you have any requests for edits to the article, you can make those requests at the article's talk page -- I won't be making any substantial content edits to this article. —tony 03:07, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pınarlıkaya

Thanks for your edit on Pınarlıkaya, Üzümlü. Bulut notes the Balaban tribe as Kurdish on pages 140-141. Semsûrî (talk) 06:41, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :) —tony 12:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question about reversion to Carlo Ratti page

Hello - can you kindly explain why you marked my edit as premature removal? I removed a notice from 2019 which seems out of date Thank you for the clarification Baloo2025 (talk) ([[User talk:Baloo2025] • contribs) 21:49, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comments about conflict on interest you shared on my page. I did read all the COI policies and have disclosed my employment at MIT. I do not have any other affiliations.

Thank you again - happy to have feedback as I am learning.

Thank you :) —tony 19:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, by the way, you revert the vandalism before I do sometimes, so you definitely deserve it! Dylan Hackworth1 (talk) 20:06, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lossy edits

Ok, so you dislike inline external links - we can agree to strongly disagree on that. But why revert the whole page to its prior version? That loses information. It's destructive. The Wikipedia merely _discourages_ inline external links according to what I just read. That makes it even more surprising. JOSmithIIIGM (talk) 02:47, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JOSmithIIIGM, thanks for letting me know. I restored the version you made just prior to that external link being added. Take care —tony 02:49, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I decided you are most likely a chatbot. Prompt needs work! Never subtract value!

I would have been perfectly happy to have my inline external link converted to a footnote external link. It adds unnecessary friction, and is already indicated by the link decoration, so I think it is a wrong editorial decision (Wikipedia doesn't even need to keep you onsite for ad consumption). Edits should be _improvements_ not information-subtracting reversions! JOSmithIIIGM (talk) 06:32, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why put AV when it’s true

Hi, you reverted my comment on a page. I know this to be true and correct. It would have been easy for you to find out the truth. this person was not a nice person when these things were happening. I can not put things in the edit that happened, that were not reported. I have gone on google for you for proof of what I put. It would be appreciated if you could review the link I will leave you and let my edit stand. https://www.theage.com.au/national/prison-officer-bailed-on-drug-charges-20030912-gdwbx7.html this is one of many articles.
