December 2020 edit

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Hillbilly Elegy (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 01:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, while I feel my edits were not in the right tone, I think it is important to point out that the media criticism of Hillbilly Elegy was particularly political, attacking its depiction of provincial life and social mobility as unrealistic and foppish. This is significant because it heavily contradicts the clear popularity of the film with actual viewers. Perhaps this disparity between the media's criticism and viewer popularity should be highlighted.

  Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Hillbilly Elegy (film). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Blablubbs|talk 15:02, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

On this, I had no idea you could not cite such a source. It seems Wikipedia uses many media outlets as sources so I did not think this would amount to an inconsistency worthy of a retraction.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Alexander Pope. Materialscientist (talk) 12:05, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello there, I don't know if this is the right way to do this, but on the Alexander Pope article it seems to suggest that he might have been homosexual - otherwise the quote seems irrelevant. The quote really is a sharp witticism about Pope, having left a life of frivolity, not being happy since he met Blount. Gay did not mean homosexual in the eighteenth century.

  Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Kay Burley, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 13:18, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
