This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I had previously had an account a while back under a different user name, which I'd forgotten about and then rediscovered last year while hanging out with a friend who's better versed in using Wikipedia. She helped me leave a question about reconciling these account names, or something to that effect. The editor below apparently responded to this question ("You have new messages at Wikipedia_talk:Username_policy"), but when I go to that page, I can find nothing about me or my question. I don't recall specifically what the question was, or where it was posted, in order to look for it. I only tend to used the site fairly infrequently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StarchildSF (talk • contribs)

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Timeline of the 2014 Ferguson unrest with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:45, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removed notice due to adequate explanation of edit. I have restored your edit. With this type of controversial article, someone else might make a similar or further edit. In that event, you may need to leave a message for them. Thank you for your explanation. Donner60 (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sourcing

Please review the Wikipedia Reliable Sources guidelines. ZeroHedge is not a reliable source [in the writer's opinion -Starchild] because it is an entirely-anonymous blog [actually it's not entirely anonymous -Starchild] without an identifiable editorial structure and without a reputation for fact-checking, accuracy, etc. Therefore, it should not be used as a source. If you want to discuss the percentage of public land in Nevada, there's undoubtedly many better sources for that data [sounds like an acknowledgement that the fact is valid, and that its removal is simply being justified by a technicality -Starchild] — and besides, it's a detail that doesn't belong in the article lede anyway.

The lede should be a brief summary of the article; extensive discussion of federal public land laws in the article (if any) belong in the body text. While it is true that some people have argued that the federal government does not have Constitutional authority over public land, those claims have been rejected in court [as if the *opinions* of government court officials are more valid than those of anyone else -Starchild] literally every single time they've been litigated - and Wikipedia reflects the world as it is, not as some people may wish it to be. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 03:50, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you object to a source, why not just delete that source, not the entire discussion? The article as written is badly biased in favor of the Feds by making the Bundys sound like simple scofflaws who do not have any legal justification for their actions. The fact of multiple state legislatures effectively agreeing with their position should be included in the lede of the article. Starchild (talk) 03:59, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did just delete that single source, and then moved the discussion of the legal argument to a separate section and shortened it. The fact of the matter is that a few state legislatures briefly argued something 20 years ago, but literally every single federal court in the country has ruled otherwise. If you want to have an extensive discussion of something, it belongs in the body text of the article, not the lede. The lede of the article is meant to be a brief discussion of the major points, not a detailed point-by-point argument.

Moreover, the article is not biased, it is giving due weight to each argument in accordance with its prominence in reliable sources. The fact of the matter is that Bundy's legal claims have been rejected in court over and over again. His position is a fringe theory that is not supported in law [that depends to which law you are referring – the Constitution, the supreme law in the United States, does not recognize federal land ownership outside of the District of Columbia except for lands needed for military forts, arsenals, and the like -Starchild]. We do not give "equal time" to all arguments. If we even mention Bundy's claim, we are required to mention that it is unfounded in law and rejected by all courts and the vast majority of legal scholars. So if we were to include your quote from one (unnamed?) legal scholar, we would have to add the extensive, easily-found rebuttals of that quote from dozens of other legal scholars and actual federal judges who have ruled in actual federal cases specifically rejecting that scholar. Then the lede would be monstrously long and unwieldy - exactly what we should be avoiding. If you think we need a section in the article body discussing the federal land arguments, then that is a different story. We could expand the section I moved your sources to - Bundy standoff#Claim of states' rights. That would be the appropriate place to have a lengthy point-by-point argument, I suppose, if we need one here. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:06, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As evidence of the article's bias, I note the inclusion in the lede of a paragraph about Bundy's racist remark that slavery would have been better for blacks than federal dependency, which had nothing to do with the article topic (and certainly was not relevant as part of a "brief summary of the article" as you say the lede should be). I moved it to a different section, although arguably it isn't relevant to the article at all. Starchild (talk) 05:08, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan independence movement

References to "China"

Hello. I have noticed that you changed many mentions of "China" to "Beijing regime" or "PRC". In fact, the article originally refers to Beijing/PRC as "China" because the PRC is a member of the United Nations, representing the seat of "China", whereas the ROC is not a member of the United Nations and doesn't represent any seats. The ROC isn't even considered to be a "non-member state" by the United Nations but is rather considered to be a "non-existent state" or an "illegal state". This is because the United Nations recognises Taiwan as being part of China, a state which already has a seat in the United Nations, and hence is unable to recognise any other state, whether a member or non-member, as being sovereign over Taiwan. With this being said, it stands to reason that Beijing/PRC should be primarily referred to as "China" on Wikipedia, at least according to the standards of other articles which seem to follow United Nations recognition. I would prefer to refer to the ROC as "ROC", but the Wikipedia article for that state is titled "Taiwan" and refers to the state repeatedly as "Taiwan". Hence, I use the terms "China (PRC)" in reference to the Beijing regime and "Taiwan (ROC)" in reference to the Taipei regime.

If it turns out that Wikipedia does not follow United Nations recognition, then I will gladly comply with the usage of the terms "Beijing regime" and "Taipei regime" [I did not use and do not support the term "Taipei regime", because the government based in Taipei, unlike the one based in Beijing, is democratically elected and thus has a greater degree of legitimacy, a distinction that should be recognized in the language -Starchild (talk) 13:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)]. However, in this case, I would also agree to change many other things. For example, the PRC is usually referred to as a "country" whereas the ROC is usually referred to as a "state". If Wikipedia does not follow United Nations recognition, then the usage of these terms is incorrect. Instead, both the PRC and ROC should be referred to as "countries" or "states" of equal status. Jargo Nautilus (talk) 11:46, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

United Nations policies vs reality

I'm not sure whether Wikipedia's policy is to take its cue on names from the United Nations or not, but the rulers in Beijing are unelected by the Chinese people and therefore illegitimate. That's why I refer to their organization as a "regime".

Taiwan has leaders who have been elected in elections generally seen as free and fair, which is why I would refer to their organization as a "government".

The fact that the United Nations chooses as an organization to recognize the less-legitimate rulers over the more-legitimate ones should bring their credibility in such matters into serious disrepute.

In neither case however do I think those who happen to hold political power in a particular jurisdiction should be confused with the people who happen to reside in that jurisdiction, or with the jurisdiction as a whole entity. China is not its rulers, nor do its rulers truly represent the Chinese people. Starchild (talk) 04:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)StarchildSF[reply]

1RR notification

FYI, Boogaloo movement is under a 1RR restriction, and you have "used" your revert [actually I did NOT revert anyone else's edit on the article - it was my edits that were reverted multiple times; maybe that is why the word "used" appears in quotes here! Starchild (talk) 13:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)]further reverts will result in a block. It's time for you to discuss your proposed changes on the talk page and attempt to gain consensus [as if there were a consensus that the Southern Poverty Law Center is not leftist! My addition of the word "leftist" to describe the SPLC was reverted, even though that is a less extreme description than the term "far-right" repeatedly used in the article to describe the Boogaloo movement.] NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 07:43, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If people wouldn't put such biased material into these articles in the first place, it wouldn't be a problem. Starchild (talk) 10:22, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did at Guus Berkhout, you may be blocked from editing. Articles on Wikipedia do not give fringe material equal weight to majority viewpoints; content in articles are given representation in proportion to their prominence.

Again, if people wouldn't put such biased material into these articles in the first place, it wouldn't be a problem. Perhaps focusing on this would be a better use of your time/energy. Starchild (talk) 07:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Enver Tohti (August 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Enver Tohti and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
