Recent edit to Danny DeVito edit

  Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Danny DeVito), but that 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! FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 19:01, 9 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

It doesn't actually matter whether it's sourced or not, who does or does not endorse what candidate in what election is not encyclopedic, or else we'd be innudated with such partisan crap. I've removed all your additions, please don't do it again. BMK (talk) 01:16, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Following your unnecessarily rude comment on my page (and then deletion of my polite response), perhaps you can go and edit the thousands of other pages mentioning political endorsements, rather than only targeting edits I have made. It seems like you have more than enough time in your day. I suggest you start with the ones where you removed my update, but left previous political notes (e.g. Kennedy Jr.). This site would be a lot more enjoyable for all if you did not target people specifically because they disagree with you, by actively tracking edit history and changing their posts. Like you photo says - let sh*t go. Don't be an online bully. It's not a good quality for anyone, much less a grown man. Littlemermaid21 (talk) 12:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Suicide edit

I really don't give a shit whether "committed suicide" is "politically correct or not, it is the common and historically used neutral term for killing oneself. (That's another one that's neutral: "he killed himself.) "Took his own life" is a euphemism - where the helll did he "take" himself? Heaven? Hell? Limbo? Asgard?.

We are an encyclopedia, we describe things neutrally, and "to commit suicide" is a neutral expression. Please do not change it again in any Wikipedia article. BMK (talk) 01:12, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

I can understand why you don't grasp this - many still don't. To "commit suicide" comes from the concept of committing a sin (something inherently negative and by no means neutral). According to the American Psychological Assoc. this terminology is no longer acceptable, and instead "take ones own life" is viewed as far more NEUTRAL and not victim-shaming. In light of being a grown man, perhaps common sense would be useful when actively targeting and tracking other users' history.Littlemermaid21 (talk) 12:05, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

February 2016 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. clpo13(talk) 11:01, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
