Hi Sjyglm, and Please excuse this intrusion as you have been around a bit already but if no one has said it before: Welcome to Wikipedia!

List of African-American firsts

Hi, Sjyglm. I see you're new to Wikipedia, and there's a lot to absorb here. I can see that two editors above have already worked with you to help explain a couple of our policies, including the one I'm mentioning now.

Indeed, this one of the prime policies of this encyclopedia — WP:VERIFY, which means that any claims made here need to be verified by a reliable-source citation, such as a WP:FOOTNOTE. In the case of lists such as this article, that citation may appear in the bluelinked article of the name you're adding. If you're adding a redlinked name, for which no article appears, a citation must accompany it.

In my edit summary, I explained how the Wikipedia article for your bluelinked claims only supported one of them; if you read the Roscoe Robinson article, you'll see there's nothing there about him being the first four-star officer in the U.S. military, but just the first four-star general (which is quite an accomplishment in itself, of course). The redlinked Davision claim, however, had no verifying citation.

I hope you understand, and as I urge all newcomers, the Five Pillars of Wikipedia is a great place to get all the major policies in one place. Thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 14:04, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Bias?

Hey :) I still think you should remove that category on the Edward Rutledge page, because the article already has a strong negative bias. ty :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.235.10 (talk) 23:03, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

PLEASE address this issue!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.198.157 (talk) 22:00, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Its within the article itself that paints him as a "bad guy" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.211.22 (talk) 21:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Please do something about it! (At least make it sound better, since you seem to enjoy painting him as a bad guy....Please be more tolerant of historical people's views.) I'am of course, against slavery, but you really shouldn't make people out to be "good" or "bad" you should be more neutral.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thank you for your contributions. One of your recent contributions to Kirby Smart has been reverted or removed, because it contains speculative or unconfirmed information about a future event. Please only add material about future events if it is verifiable, based on a reliable source. --bender235 (talk) 03:10, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Sanford and Son

This is an Encyclopedia, we don't take personal opinions as fact. Where are your third party sources to support your claim ? Why aren't you discussing this on the article's talk page, which is better then arguing about it in edit summaries. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:18, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

December 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Sanford and Son; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:58, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
