Thanks, I appreciated your detailed scrutiny of the additions to the entry for Frances Rutherford.
I understand that the information about her family history was removed because of an unreliable source (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rutherford-1050) and too much detail about her relatives.
Two important details are now missing: that Rutherford was a descendant of early British settlers in New Zealand and the first cousin, once removed, of Ernest Rutherford, the nuclear physicist. Her relationship with Ernest Rutherford was noted in the ‘early life’ section of the original entry which stated that she was a cousin. I traced her family tree to verify and explain this relationship.
I would like to offer two options for adding this information and ask your advice about whether either would be acceptable.
Option 1: adding information in a shortened form and different citations, under ‘early life and education’
Rutherford’s great grandparents were early British settlers in New Zealand. Her great grandfather, George Rutherford emigrated from Scotland in 1843. Her father, William Rutherford was ‘the uncle of Lord Rutherford, the eminent scientist’ making Rutherford the first cousin, once removed of Ernest Rutherford, the nuclear physicist. https://teara.govt.nz/en/1966/rutherford-sir-ernest and https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19350312.2.113
Option 2: Putting the paragraph which explains her relationship with Ernest Rutherford in her Talk page. This was
Rutherford was a descendant of early British settlers in New Zealand and the first cousin, once removed, of Ernest Rutherford, the nuclear physicist. Her great grandparents George Rutherford (1804-1876) and Mary Rutherford, nee Adie (1807-1877) arrived in Nelson in 1843, two years after New Zealand became a colony within the British Empire. They had three daughters and six sons including James Rutherford (abt. 1839-1928) and William James Rutherford (1848-1935). James Rutherford was born in Dundee. He married Martha Thompson (abt. 1842-1935) in 1866 and they had had twelve children, including Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937). William James Rutherford was born in Nelson. In 1874 he married Emma Louisa Kearns (1876-1963). They had four daughters and four sons, including Charles William Rutherford (1876-1963). He was Frances Moran Rutherford’s father and Ernest Rutherford’s uncle.
Thanks again for your help and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.

In this exchange, the point I was trying to make is that the detail you removed was the only content preventing that section from sliding into full WP:UNDUE. You've removed the only critical analysis of LBJ's use of the Silver Star and left in a rather substantial character count of one POV. I agree that direct quotes aren't needed and that there are additional supporting secondary sources that can be added (e.g. this), but can you please explain how if reducing detail is the mission while still respecting the neuterality of the encyclopedia, you've left in extensive direct quotes from laudatory sources and removed any balancing content?

Nikkimaria, I'm always made a bit nervous about edits that are said to deal with Earwig numbers (in this case to shut Earwig up), and the more so when the edit that did so, as best I can see, didn't really make the sort of significant rewording that would deal with close paraphrasing. Can I ask you to please take a look at this approved nomination to see whether there are, in your opinion, close paraphrasing issues?

Hi, Thanks for your interest and suggestion alterations, some of which I disagree with, and some I am grateful for.
1. Removal of totally: absolutely. It's tautological and unnecessary.
2. Thank you for your substitution, which I am happy with pro tem; the sourcing was clumsy and lazy. However I shall in due course replace "Although many British bathers prefer bathing in the Turkish bath without costumes, or just loosely covered with a towel" when I have sourced it better; I am replacing "[N]udity became rare after many local authorities outsourced the operation of their baths" as this is a simple observable statement. I will neverthe less add sources when I get back to my database.
3. Again I am happy with your removal of footnote 14. I tried to get it again this morning and it led only to their main page. It was, in any case a bad source mentioning 'financial' reasons which locals know (probably from the council minutes) referred to the extra staff requirements. But it is also widely known that they tried not to give this as a reason, instead citing "inappropriate behavior" among male bathers (indicative of poor staff training) and, the latest, "striving for inclusivity" (which is strongly contested). No mention was made of the gaoling of a masseur for inappropriate behaviour! I will, however, probably replace this when I have found my original list of possible sources.

Howdy,
After promoting the Vegas Golden Knights article to GA, I'm hoping to eventually get it to FAC (though I'm not in a hurry to do so). As part of this, I nominated it for peer review, which @Matarisvan is currently working on. As part of the review's initial comments, they noted that the logo and jersey images in the infobox could possibly be an issue for FAC, and directed me to ask you for advice. Neither are CC-licensed, but both have credible non-free-use rationale.

To denote the uniform of the team. The uniform is described in detail in the article and is a visual identifier of the team equal to (and in some sports more important than) the logo. It is standard to display uniforms of a sports team in the infobox.
The image is used to identify the brand Vegas Golden Knights, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand in a way that words alone could not convey.

Hi Nikki - hoping I can get your wisdom on a(nother) copyright question.
Concerning maps, archaeological diagrams and so on: I understand that simply copying a chart or plan made by another person would be a derivative work, and so not permitted unless that diagram was itself in the public domain. However, how does this sit versus the idea that bare facts -- such as, for example, the location of a wall -- cannot be copyrighted?
In this specific case, if I've got a published site plan like this guy, which itself is described at great length in the accompanying text, how much room is there for me to make a plan of the same site without falling foul of copyright, and is there any way I can help ensure that the resulting diagram ends up on the right side of all the necessary rules?

Hello. Unfortunately, there are users who are trying to destroy some sensitive information on Iran. I know that this discussion already exists in the Iran's talk page, but I want you to personally take action on the situation since you are paying close attention to the page. Religion numbers on the infobox has been fully destroyed by some newly-created accounts in an intend to change the facts with unreliable sources (using an anti-Iranian/opposition website as their source...) and reject the country's official general census, which was on the infobox for literally years. Please remove the religious section from Infobox once and for all, *and do something that no one revert it this easily with false info*. Most country pages do not even have religion numbers on the infobox for this exact reason: to avoid such discussions in the talk page, and since the Iran's talk page is on fire with tons of people wanting this to change, please do something fast.

I made a few edits to my cousin's, Perry Bass, page to add the names of his parents and to add info regarding our family history and roots in Texas through Benjamin Roland Bass and Susan Green Bass. I added it in support to a quote from Perry's grandson in which he made reference to his family's multi-generational history in Texas. I therefore added the information regarding our common relatives (Ben and Susan Bass) who migrated from Tennessee to Texas in about 1855. As support, I included links to the 1850 census showing them in Tennessee, and also a link to the 1860 census showing them in Texas (which also noted that they had a child born about 5 years earlier who was born in Texas, thereby establishing the time frame of about 1855 . . . I have some property records as well since my grandmother inherited part of the land they originally acquired, but that would be a bit more tedious to run down). I also included information about the family's linkage back to early 17th century Virginia and the Nansemond Nation. With respect to this latter part, I can see why that would be removed for lack of reliability. I don't even know where I would start in adding all of the documentation around that, so probably not worth trying. I am confused, however, regarding what additional information you would be looking for to support the information regarding Ben and Susan Bass. I included links to their "Findagrave" locations, which if you click through their child Porter Bass, to his son, Dr. E. Perry Bass, it will take you to Perry Richardson Bass. I figured that would be sufficient, but I am knew to making edits in Wikipedia so I may be missing something. It is possible that I am looking at things with a less skeptical eye since I personally know, and am part of, that shared portion of family history. Thanks for any insights.

Thank you for your edits to Ulysses S. Grant. Your approach to reducing the size of the article, trimming one sentence or paragraph at a time, and with only the most minor sacrifice of actual sourced material, is one that I had not had any confidence in, but your results have been impressive.

Hello there.
I noticed that you removed a citation that I added on the 'Parachute regiment in media' page. it was about cars 2. I felt that the citation from the cars wiki was reliable, but if you think it wasn't that alright, but I'd just like an explanation for future reference when I'm adding citations.

Hi Nikkimaria,
I noticed that you deleted the death section of George Gadaski. Understand that you deleted the link because of an uncertain refernce. In the future use other links such as the artilce published from SlamWrestling instead of deleting everything.

Hello, Nikkimaria,
When tagging pages for speedy deletion (or PROD or AFD), it really helps if you make use of Twinkle. It's an editing tool that makes so many different tasks so easy. It basically knows all of the useful templates so you don't have to memorize them or go look for the correct one. It allows you to tag articles for problems, welcome new editors, report vandals to noticeboards, set up AFD discussion, it even maintains logs for you. Best of all, if you set your Twinkle Preferences to "Notify page creator", it will post a notice on a page creator's talk page, letting them know what is going on.
The reason I bring it up is that you tagged an article as a CSD G5 and when you tag that with Twinkle, it provides a field where you put the name of the sockmaster. That way, when a patrolling admin reviews the article, they can easily see who the sockmaster is and go look at the relevant SPI. Also, if an article is deleted, it will have the name of the sockmaster in the deletion summary at the top of the page. I encourage you to try out Twinkle if you haven't used it or tried it but didn't stick with it. I use it to do almost all of my administrator tasks and it's made the job much easier. Give it a shot!

I apologise if I'm not following the correct procedure for addressing my query regarding a recent edit (removal of external link). This is my first time using Wikipedia's 'User talk' feature.
The specific page in question is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydenham,_London
I contributed a whole paragraph and photograph to enhance the description of an area I have personal knowledge about. There's one notable residential street in the London suburbs with a particularly unique layout, which I recently extensively created as a One Place Study (OPS) on WikiTree. I chose this platform because it allows for direct linkage from property census information to new or existing family trees – essentially, it answers the question of 'who lived where and when.' Its focus and remit is different from Wikipedia's, as it primarily deals with ordinary people in the context of social history, rather than those who have achieved a certain degree of fame or notability that might be approached from a less obscure perspective.
In my opinion, someone reading about this area on Wikipedia might find the content of the WikiTree OPS intriguing, and I created what I believed was a responsible link to this resource.
I fully comprehend the importance of monitoring content on Wikipedia to maintain its ongoing significance as a repository of knowledge. I also acknowledge that external links should not be utilised to promote commercial enterprises or favour information vendors of a dubious nature. Earlier on the same Wikipedia page, there is a link to a major UK retailer, which, in my view, falls into a grey area.
If I have misconstrued the rules regarding the use of external links, I would greatly appreciate an explanation of my mistake. Conversely, if I've made a compelling case for the inclusion of the link, could it please be reinstated?

Hello.
My usual thought, in common with those many who think it but who don't speak it, is Oh dear ! The truth is to be found by third-parties, within the shared exchanges. It's eternal, and survives denial .
I suppose it could be added that it manifestly shows though Content creation and reviewing ..., though it may be thought to be an Editor's First love , isn't, in practice, their very ' First ' love . That particular Love may be deduced, (as it can be in all men), by observing what or whom they serve.
However, thank you, anyway.

Hi Nikkimaria, I hope you're keeping well. Can I check on an image that's just been put into an FA? The change can be seen here. The current version is a cropped copy of the previous version, but whereas the previous version is still under copyright in the UK, the new version is claimed to be free of copyright by virtue of being published in the US. It seems odd that it's still under copyright here, but isn't elsewhere, so I thought I'd best check.
The current version is poorer quality and doesn't show as much as the original version, so I'd prefer the older one back, but I'm not sure I'd be allowed if there is a free replacement.

May I inquire the reason for reverting addition of country code for Canada in this change: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canada&oldid=1216200569
You have specified "Not needed" as a reason for change, however:
1) Almost all articles on counteies have this infobox field filled out.
2) The country codes are standardized under ISO 3166 standard and are acceped as "needed" worldwide.
3) The country infobox template has a field for the country code, so clearly the template creators were not thinking that it is "not needed".
4) There is no wiki policy which states that the countey code is "not needed", if you can point to such policy, I will gladly rest my case.
Please reconsider.

Hey there, as a relatively new editor it is quite often hard to spot the reasoning behind reversions you make. Not that I fault you for trying to save time, but a reference to some kind of policy, or an essay in absence of official policy, would help not only the people you're correcting, but also those trying to understand what is being fought over.

Thanks for helping me to be a better Wikipedia editor. When you deleted the summary of Notable people for University of Pennsylvania from lede/lead ("Lede") even though the other 7 Ivy League schools and peer institutions such as Stanford, Duke, UChicago etc. (collectively, "Ivies + Peers)" were not deleted. I wrote to you to ask you to please identify which Wikipedia rules ("WikiRules") require such. I also wrote in my heading that if I was shown such WikiRules I would help you delete the Ledes for all Ivies + Peers. I did not (as you requested that I) ask the question in your Talk page and apologize for not following your request as you have a lot more experience (over 50 times more experience) than me. Per your 2nd request, I am now writing this in Talk section. Please reply with WikiRules requiring deletion of Summary of Notable people in Lede and, if I agree, I will help you delete Ledes in all similar Summaries of Notable people in Ledes for all Ivies + Peers.

Hello, I see that you have reverted a great deal of the work that I did on the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart article (work which was the result of a serious application of my time and effort). The instructions seemed to say that the material in the infobox was the material that required discussion before edits were to be applied. On the article's Talk page, I have provided a brief explanation of my reasoning, for some of the changes I made to the article, if that would serve any purpose relative to your intent. The edits I made to the article were all syntactical, I did not add or remove any facts, nor did I change the structure of the work that was already present. If you know the process by which I must have my edits considered for application to the Mozart article, then please share that information with me. If you do not know, then if you can instruct me regarding how I might accomplish that goal, then you would be doing me a great service.

Hey there,
I'm just curious for my own edification. Recently you reverted an edit on Amagasaki Serial Murder Incident with your edit summary reading "rv apparent copyvio." I'm not as up to date with editor lingo as I should be, but does that mean the sources the reverted edit linked to were copyrighted sources? Are paywalled newspapers not acceptable sources for Wiki edits? Again, I'm just asking because I want to know for the future. I give Wiki edit-a-thon assignments in some of my university courses, so I want to be able to direct my students in a way that will keep their edits from being reverted in future iterations of the assignment.

Hello, I was wanting to get consensus on the edit citations I’ve added to some of the credits on the page, namely the one in the first paragraph for ‘She Spies’; I’m stumped as to why the IMDb references is not a good one to use?

Hey! I saw that someone recently edited Iran's page with the Iranian attack on Israel (at the very end of the history section). There are some major problems with the wording of that part, and it doesn't include some critical info, or include false info. Please improve it, and edit it to this so the users know what happened:
"On 1 April 2024, Israel's air strike on an Iranian consulate building in the Syrian capital Damascus killed a senior commander of the IRGC, Gen Mohammad Reza Zahedi. In retaliation, Iran launched a major attack on Israel with UAVs, cruise and ballistic missiles on 13 April 2024. Several countries in the West Asia closed their airspaces a few hours before Iran launched its standoff attack. The American, French, British and Jordanian air forces and navy helped Israel to shoot down the Iranian drones. At least nine missiles struck two Israeli air bases, namely the Nevatim and Ramon. It was the largest drone strike in history, intended to overwhelm anti-aircraft defenses, the biggest missile attack in Iranian history, and its first ever direct attack on Israel. It was also the first time since 1991 that Israel itself was attacked by a state force. Israel retaliated by executing limited strikes within Iran on 18 April 2024."
Israel never attacked Isfahan itself, they targeted an air defense facility, and its even mentioned here with reliable sources. The part also says that the attack was intercepted, while its literally mentioned here that at least nine missiles hit Israeli airbases. Again, all well-sourced. I did my best to summarize what happened while still including all the important and critical information. Some of the citations already exists on the article body, but here's more if you nedeed. You can also take the citations here:

When you reverted the infobox of Little Moreton Hall to the last stable version you said that this was "pending further discussion".

Hi. Given your expertise in handling DYK nominations, I thought you probably could help with resolving the potential issue that I'm experiencing with this one.

Hello, I'm Blue Riband. I did some work on the TSS Duke of Lancaster (1955) article which needed some bare URLs fixed and some updating through RS. I noticed that you had removed some poorly sourced material as UrbExa had sourced to deprecated sources. When we revert a relatively new editor it might help to drop them a line or two to let them know what they did. It will help point them in the right direction so that they don't keep repeating the same mistakes. He/she probably has no idea that The Sun and The Mirror are a deprecated sources.

Hi Nikkimaria, Thanks for your great edit on Robert Adams. I noticed you took out this:
"Interestingly, before news organizations traced IRS records to Avantae (Michelle), few people knew that Michelle was now known as Avantae Devens. This revelation led to the discovery that Nicole Adams’ real name is Leonie Maxwell, who was 95 years old when hospitalized in April and passed away on May 21, 2024.[1] Further research revealed that"
Did you find the citation incorrect? Do you have a suggestion for how this may be improved, added or cited. I think it is a true and important paragraph. Many people will want to know that Robert Adams' wife passed away and how it was discovered that Leonie Maxwell is truly Nicole Adams.

The reproduction of the portrait from the German Historical Museum published here is not a copy of the portrait from the Musée Carnavalet . This is an independent work that allows us to draw conclusions about Robespierre's appearance. The topic of this politician's appearance is still causing serious controversy and the presence of additional, different from the well-known images created during his lifetime is very important for the study of this topic. This is not a duplicate or unnecessary information. This is a fact that allows us to replace existing theories and correct the perception of his image.
The portrait I am offering was recently found by the German Historical Museum in a private collection . It significantly influences the perception of the famous portrait the Musée Carnavalet and casts doubt on its originality. Therefore, this information should be published. It is important for historians.

Nikkimaria, I am baffled by your removing the world pushpin map from the NYC article. It’s been there for over 100 edits without objection. The London article contains the same feature. These are the two highest-ranked cities in most global city rankings, and so the world position is clearly WP:DUE. But truthfully, it could relevantly go on all global cities’ articles, including Montreal, for example; it simply takes some effort on the part of the editors who normally edit those articles frequently. Why does it bother you so much that it’s specifically on NYC’s article, especially when it’s such an innocuous edit? Why not just enhance, for example, the Montreal article with that feature?

I have a question about Haruma Miura and I know we briefly talked about this before. The infobox template states "Cause of death. Should be clearly defined and sourced, and should only be included when the cause of death has significance for the subject's notability; It should not be filled in for unremarkable deaths such as those from old age or routine illness." He did not die from old age or routine illness.
