About this: This only repeats what is presented lower in the article, and supported by sources already named in the article. It's common to have the fewest number of citations in the introduction (see WP:LEADCITE). If you agree that the sources named in the article (e.g., [1] for the first sentence) sufficiently cover these points, then perhaps you'll choose to remove the citation-needed tags.

Hello. The first request was because the statement 'the terms used to describe this condition are subject to a process called the euphemism treadmill' seems very much POV, and the second was because I'd like to see some kind of reference to support the claim that the terms were 'invented in the middle of the 20th century'. If this claim is referenced later on in the article I haven’t spotted it.

You might want to consider using this tool - (tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/webreflinks.py) - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your <ref></ref> tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well all by itself. For those it can;t do by itself, it gives you a pull-down (or up) menu of templates to choose from, which you can then fill in manually. Often the problem is "No title found" - sometimes the title is obvious (especially if it's a pdf), bit, if not, just open the page yourself and choose soemthing appropriate if there's not already a clear title there.

Hi there, I've just come across your article Religious beliefs of The Beatles while doing new page patrol; your reference

• [13] (<ref name = Partridge100 >{{Harvnb|Partridge|2005|p=153}}</ref>)

doesn't actually have a link to the Partridge book anywhere (and as far as I can see, it didn't have it in the first revision). Could you go back and see where you found it, and fill the citation in there? It's the only time that named ref, or any Harvard ref, is used, so filling straight in between the <ref></ref> tags will work fine.

Anyone but the originator of the article may remove a speedy tag, as I did at Cross necklace, when reviewing the article as an administrator to see if it should be deleted a I removed the tag because speedy deletion is strictly and narrowly limited to those instances enumerated at WP:CSD, and whether an article might not be on a recognized term is not among them. The only possibly relevant tags would be no show of importance, which only applies to apply to articles about people, organizations, individual animals,and planned events-- this article is not in any of these classes. The other would be G11 promotionalism, and that does not seem to apply either, as no specific thing or company is being promoted. If you still want the article deleted, you should use either WP:PROD or WP:AFD-- WP:PROD is only useful if you think there will be no objections to the removal ,because anyone, even the creator, can remove a prod tag, so I think that leaves AfD. I cannot judge whether or not the community will decide the article should be deleted, and it is not up to me.

I see you replaced the tag I removed, and this is not permitted. See WP:CSD and WP:Deletion policy. I do not think any administrator would delete the article on the basis of the criterion you used.

I did indeed put this on that page also.There is no need to add a reference to remove a speedy tag. I do not know where you found that imaginary rule. Please read the policy pages I linked to. If you re-add the tag, it will likely to be considered disruptive, and I shall ask some other administrator to tell you so. Had I left the tag on ,or deleted the article, that's when someone could have validly complained about me.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

WP:OFFICIAL alone is not quite strong enough for my liking, with the closest match for the album being that The White Album has become a de facto formal reference to the album when the official name could cause confusion, such as for someone searching for the album's article. Although as a counterexample I would argue that China over People's Republic of China would be an example of us bypassing a well known official name in favor of a more concise informal name, so there is precedent in using a fourth criterion, when a colloquial reference is as or more recognizable than an already well known formal name. I realize OFFICIAL alone would be weak, so I am advocating that it is the combination of that showing our lack of binding to official names, WP:Commonname with the ubiquity of The White Album nickname, the redirect from TWA pointing straight to that page implying no ambiguity concerns over using The White Album, and WP:NCDAB's discomfort with the parenthetical construct that forms my argument. I'm using that combination of policies to augment each other into what I hope is a persuasive combination.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Warren James, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Coleford. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Obscurasky. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Memorial hall, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

I've just spent some time reading through their website and, honestly, I do not believe the changes you've written about warrant inclusion in an encyclopaedia. If you feel strongly enough about it you're perfectly entitled to reinsert the information, but you should write encyclopaedically and stick to the facts; not the spin that Stephen Kaufer has published about the changes.

Hello,
You reverted my addition to Insect hotel. Did you read the reference provided (which you didn’t remove) before doing that? The reference supports what I added; actually, the author wrote it in order to explain that butterfly hotels are not used by butterflies.

I've just read the reference article, but I notice that many other articles support the claim that specifically designed insect hotels (or special areas incorporated within insect hotels) are beneficial to butterflies.

The citation is not intended to demonstrate that butterfly areas are effective; it is there to demonstrate that some people believe they are - and therefor that disagreement on their effectiveness exists. I don't know of any scientific study to support either side of the argument, but clearly some people don't believe they work and some people do (or they wouldn't exist).

Reporting every layman’s opinion is not the purpose of Wikipedia. People who did investigate the matter found that hotel insects don’t work – no published scholarly articles, but still reports of investigations by competent people. People who report no investigation (and, in this case, make a profit from selling the thing) claim they do. Those claims, not having equal grounds, are definitely not of equal importance with respect to Wikipedia’s purpose, which is knowledge, not beliefs. The article about Earth doesn’t say that there is disagreement about whether it is round or flat. palpalpalpal (talk) 10:08, 17 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-17T10:08:00.000Z","author":"Palpalpalpal","type":"comment","level":6,"id":"c-Palpalpalpal-2019-09-17T10:08:00.000Z-Obscurasky-2019-09-17T09:13:00.000Z","replies":["c-Obscurasky-2019-09-17T11:42:00.000Z-Palpalpalpal-2019-09-17T10:08:00.000Z","c-Obscurasky-2019-09-17T12:23:00.000Z-Palpalpalpal-2019-09-17T10:08:00.000Z"]}}-->

....the reason being that sufficient scholarly material exists to demonstrate, to an acceptable degree, that the world is indeed round - however, he same is not true in this regard. I have changed the citation in the article to a more reliable source, and I believe its inclusion sufficiently demonstrates that disagreement on the effectiveness of butterfly enclosures does exist.

I think the article’s probably grown since the lead was written, and the introduction could benefit from a rewrite. It states Dad’s Army is a BBC sitcom, but the article covers all its incarnations; the stage play, the films, radio show, and the ‘lost episodes’ - produced by UKTV.

An article you recently created, British Hound Sports Association, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

I am surprised, to say the least, that someone who has been editing Wikipedia since 2009 should be as utterly unaware of Wikipedia policy as you appear to be, in your recent edit summaries concerning the Islamophobia article. I would strongly advise you to take note of what WP:Vandal actually says, and then discuss the disputed content on the talk page.

It's neither untrue, nor controversial, to state that the "The scope and precise definition of the term Islamophobia is the subject of debate.......", in fact that statement has been in the article for seven or eight years.

@Obscurasky You seem to be much older than me on Wikipedia, I respect your experience, also request and suggest calming down. The article, may be I have not edited much, is in my watch least. Many times I take initiative to facilitate discussion, my effort is to reduce misunderstanding. Some times sharing a word helps.

Those users seem to have already started some discussion at the talk page -means some level of consultation- and there after deleted some content. If there is any previous consultation you can all the way point out at the ongoing talk page discussion there and that may help reduce misunderstanding.

You are much more experienced than me so you are likely to know policies better than me but still up to my present understanding other than RfC proved consensus rest is much fragile and usually onus rests on who wish to retain or add content, not otherwise. So it's always better to look for strong academic RS as much as available and RfC consensus will be less fragile in long term. Wish you happy editing.
