Is an MSNBC produced short documentary not a notable work? Wikipedia lists MSNBC as a 'generally reliable source'.

Section removed: In 2022, Harvard Law Lecturer, Rebecca Richman Cohen, produced a short documentary entitled THE RECALL: REFRAMED exploring the unintended consequences of the recall of Judge Aaron Persky which came at the height of the #MeToo movement in 2018. The film used the Turner case to critique the knee-jerk demand for harsh sentences to address sexual violence – a demand that disproportionately impacts low-income and people of color. It asks how we might imagine better ways of addressing sexual violence, opening the door to conversations about restorative and transformative justice, and truly supporting survivors. https://www.msnbc.com/jonathan-capehart/watch/a-new-documentary-short-explores-the-recall-of-judge-aaron-persky-165663813608 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.43.106.63 (talk) 16:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230512165300","author":"137.43.106.63","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-137.43.106.63-20230512165300-Why_did_you_remove_my_update_on_the_Persky_Recall_in_the_Brock_Turner_case?","replies":["c-Bkatcher-20230512171300-137.43.106.63-20230512165300"]}}-->

65.50.136.45 will answer your questions you asked on Opportunity (rover) 1. What is Oppy? Well, Oppy is the nickname for the Opportunity rover. "Opportunity, also known as MER-B (Mars Exploration Rover – B) or MER-1, and nicknamed Oppy,[8] is a robotic rover that was active on Mars from 2004 until mid-2018."

The Unsourced part of the timeline diverts from an earlier edit made by me. Then, it got deleted. I revised the part and put it back, but I must forgotten the resources.

That's fine, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we don't refer to things in the article body by nicknames.

I have absolutely no doubt about that, it sounds dreadful. But with 120 years of cinema, we have to be very selective about what's here.

I thought that since Bush was only the second Vice-President to live at the residence after Walter Mondale and since he was elected as President that I could be listed as a fact. [1] I also assumed that since the source I provided in the article included this picture of Bush living at the residence after his victory that it provided that fact.

Thank you so much for your idiotic slash-and-burn editing of the "Violet (Peanuts)" article. No, this is not polite; your deplorable action doesn't deserve such civility. 2601:545:8201:6290:48AA:2B62:7D5D:C14B (talk) 13:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20231201131500","author":"2601:545:8201:6290:48AA:2B62:7D5D:C14B","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-2601:545:8201:6290:48AA:2B62:7D5D:C14B-20231201131500-Your_destructive_edit_to_\"Violet_(Peanuts)\"","replies":["c-Bkatcher-20231201132400-2601:545:8201:6290:48AA:2B62:7D5D:C14B-20231201131500"]}}-->

I'm sorry you feel that way, but Violet's article was longer than Charlie Brown's, and everything I deleted was uncited original research.

I thought you said, no resumes, right? Well, suit yourself. I beg your pardon, I'm sure. It was done by wherever I put in the U.S. delegations at the Closing Ceremony, PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics.

I know, and your edits were great. But that article is about a Korean Olympic ceremony, and we don't need to mention which political party an attending US senator belongs to or what committees they serve on. That's not super relevant. Otherwise, great work.

Just a heads up, I have reverted your edit, and changed the spelling of "cold" to "gold", as i meant white gold, and not cold 108.49.72.125 (talk) 23:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240129232800","author":"108.49.72.125","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-108.49.72.125-20240129232800-Rolex_Daytona","replies":[]}}-->

Yo bro, why do you keep deleting my entries man, I not only had reliable sources talking about them, but they were also unusual, sure the source didn't directly call it unusual, but they're still pretty strange Bdblakley29 (talk) 21:28, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240716212800","author":"Bdblakley29","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Bdblakley29-20240716212800-List_of_Unusual_Deaths","replies":["c-Bkatcher-20240717014000-Bdblakley29-20240716212800"]}}-->

The rules of the article (which have been in place for years) state the citations must describe the death as unusual or a synonym. Otherwise we get into endless debates over what constitutes 'strange.' I've had my own entries deleted.

or John Cummings' death or Henry Taylor's death, those sources don't call the deaths unusual or any other synonym Bdblakley29 (talk) 09:45, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240717094500","author":"Bdblakley29","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Bdblakley29-20240717094500-Bdblakley29-20240717093800","replies":["c-Bkatcher-20240717190000-Bdblakley29-20240717094500"]}}-->

Menes is cited by a book, so it's hard to confirm or deny. Taylor's citation describes his death as 'bizarre', a synonym for unusual. As for Cummings, you are correct. Feel free to delete his entry.

The source for Avaran is a book called the 'Funniest and Weirdest Ways People Died' or something like that. Find a book that describes Sisera's death as unusual and I won't touch it.

That was a few weeks ago, so I don't remember. Looking at the edit, it was unsourced and there were gramatical errors. If you restore it, I won't revert it, though you should add a citation. Unfortunately on Wikipedia, knowing something isn't enough, you have to have a reference.
