RE: Removal of Joplin as Missouri's second highest city in list of Highest Towns and Cities in United States

This was removed because the highest town in Missouri is already included in the list, well above where Joplin is listed (as the "second tallest" in Missouri). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.178.165.244 (talk) 03:42, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your reply. Looks like that page has needed attention for a while - several states are listed multiple times, despite the "only one city per state" notice at the top, which I completely missed. By that guideline, you're quite right to have removed Joplin. I'll post on the Talk page to see if this can get cleared up, and I'm sorry for not reading more carefully!

Michael Olowokandi

Hi Jessica, I made edited changes with supporting references on Michael Olowokandi but you reverted it back. Melchizedek123 (talk) 22:34, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

He played 36 games in the 2002–2003 season before sustaining an injury that forced him to miss the rest of the season. In his last year with the Los Angeles Clippers, he sustained a hernia and knee injury, which greatly hindered his ability after being listed as a top free agent prospect for the 2002–03 season. He finished that season averaging 12.3 points (on 42.7% shooting from the floor) 9.1 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers per game. During that offseason, he signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. His time with the Timberwolves was marked by serious injury which resulted inconsistent play. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchizedek123 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Notable achievements from his best season was a season high 30 points vs the Chicago bulls on March 8th. "Olowokandi contributes to sweet Clipper win" <ref> [1]. He followed it with a 24 point and 10 rebound effort in a win vs Golden States on Nov 19th 2002. Olowokandi helped his team defeat the San Antonio Spurs in San Antonio for the first time in five years on Dec 17th 2002-Olowokandi contributed an effort of 17 points and 18 rebounds and 4 block shots against Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs shooting 67% from the field. Olowokandi scored 19 points against the Miami Heat. Olowokandi led his team and scored 21 points in the Clipper's victory against the Orlando Magic. Olowokandi led his team in points and rebounds scoring 19 points and grabbing a career high 20 rebounds against the Detroit pistons on Nov 3rd 2002. He again led his team in points and rebounds on Oct 31st 2002 with 18 points and 13 rebounds. Olowokandi led his team in rebounds against the Sacramento Kings with 12 rebounds on Nov 21st 2002. He led his team in rebounds on Nov 8th with 9 rebounds in a win over the New Jersey Nets. He again led his team in rebounds on Dec 19th with 10 rebounds against the Portland Trail Blazers. In a victory against the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan 9th he led his team with 10 rebounds. "I thought Olowokandi was incredible," San Antonio Coach Gregg Popovich said after watching him score 26 points and take 17 rebounds in the Spurs' victory over the Clippers on Monday. "He definitely was all over the floor. He really kept us honest down there and really made a game of it." <ref> [2]. Olowokandi made good on his claim that he was the second best center in the NBA before the unfortunate episode of his knee and Hernia Injury. <ref> [3]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melchizedek123 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

There were many problems with your additions to the article - please see my edit summary. The primary issues were the fact that several of your sentences were taken verbatim from heir sources, and there were a ton of errors. Jessicapierce (talk) 22:54, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Please review my merger

Dear Jessicapierce,

After receiving consensus among interested prior editors I completed the merger. Since I am a nooby to editing wikipedia, please [review my changes].

H.M. Hoover - October 2018 revision of entry

Hello Jessicapierce. First of all, are you a registered editor of Wikipedia who monitors new entries? And out of interest, which country are you from? If you are American, then of course you may be in a better position than me, to amend an entry of an American author, in terms of the names of American towns and cities. As you know I attempted to update the Wikipedia entry for H.M. Hoover, following recent news of her death, because I was her penfriend. I am disappointed that the majority of my amendments, on 8 October 2018, were rejected, either by the system or by you. My aim was to enter data that pointed out that Helen Mary Hoover had died, the date she died, and an obituary website link to confirm that she had died - that bit was accepted, and is on the current entry. What was rejected, were my comments about H.M. Hoover, based on my knowledge, and my brief summaries of some of her books, which I wrote to celebrate her work. Why were they rejected, and what can I do to make those comments acceptable to Wikipedia? I am glad that you acknowledge that my notes were written in good faith, because they were. I admit that I am not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, so I do lack the technical experience - the Help notes look really complicated!! So where did I go wrong? What if I wish to repeat the notes that I wanted added? For example, I know I read a printed document long ago, why Helen Hoover called herself H.M. Hoover - but I am not sure if proof of it is on the internet - but I could look. Also, what do I need to do, to re-submit my summaries of her books, in terms of what each story is about? Wikipedia entries about books always say what the book is about - but how do you provide verification of what you are saying? Am I supposed to find a mention in the internet? But what if there is no full length review on the internet? For example, if I do look up one of Hoover's books, I might find an entry on the Amazon website, which would sell an old copy of the book, and provide a brief description. Or there may be a brief description on the Goodreads website. Would either website link be enough to justify my book summary? But there is no verification for the list of books and their year of publication, in the current entry. By the way, I am surprised that you replaced the word "was", back to the word "is", in the entry. I thought it was correct to say that Helen Hoover "was an American children's writer", because she has died. Also, Hoover did live in Burke once, but how do I prove that using the internet? I don't know if Wikipedia will accept photos or scan copies of book cover author descriptions, if they are not available on the internet already. I would appreciate advice from you. From Patrick Lee, United Kingdom. 14 October 2018.Patrick21london (talk) 17:16, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi @Patrick21london:, thanks for getting in touch. If you'll check the current version of H. M. Hoover, you'll see that I did re-add her death date and changed "is" to "was." Your updates on that point were appreciated, but your edit needed to be reverted based on other issues. These were mostly minor points such as incomplete sentences and broken formatting.

The more serious problem was the lack of sources. I do appreciate that you included a link to her obituary (although its formatting was broken - you can always use the Preview button to avoid this). The claim about her name (Helen vs. H.M.) really does need proof, as it's a stated claim about someone's life. The Help documents can be daunting, but you may find Wikipedia's page on original research helpful.

When it comes to the book summaries, you make a good point - there may not be a way to "prove" that your descriptions are accurate. This is probably not really a problem. If you can find sources, that's great, but if not, I think most editors would accept your descriptions in good faith. I'm looking through the Help documents now, to see if I can find any more info on the topic, and if I do, I'll let you know. Jessicapierce (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Ok, I've found a passage which applies here. Please see MOS:BOOKPLOT. Basically, a primary source (in this case, Hoover's books themselves) can be used as sources for descriptions of their plots. Jessicapierce (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello Jessica. Thanks for replying. I will think about what you have read, should I try again to amend the entry for H.M. Hoover. By the way, who are you in Wikipedia? And which country are you from? Are you a registered editor who gets alerted of new entries on Wikipedia? I hope that you will be able to answer my questions, as it is a bit confusing that Wikipedia is free for all to edit, yet there are people such as yourself, who supervise and edit content. From Patrick. 14 October 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrick21london (talk • contribs) 19:08, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

@Patrick21london: It doesn't really matter who or where I am; there are many editors here who watch all recent changes (you'll see a link to that on the left side of your screen), or monitor specific articles. I think I found your edits by patrolling for citation errors. Jessicapierce (talk) 20:05, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Alice Tredwell

Hi Jessica, Alice Tredwell was my great-great aunt. If you send me an e-mail address where I can send you attachments, I will send you documents that prove that Alice was born in Brampton Cumberland and not in Leek Staffordshire and you can make the appropriate corrections to the article. Alice also had a son Mark John Tredwell. Wayne Pickering, e-mail address [email protected] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.113.221.22 (talk) 01:58, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Sia Page

You removed all of my edits, and I understand if I did them incorrectly. Could you maybe help me add it in and let me know what I should do differently?

Lukeaanthony (talk) 13:28, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I try to be as clear as possible in my edit summaries. Your Sia edit contained far too many errors to keep. To be a little more specific, my removal of your content, which you can see here, was because your addition contained an all-caps word, claim about number of youtube views with nonspecific date, no periods at ends of sentences, incorrectly punctuated movie title, incorrect date format, and other punctuation errors. In addition, you provided a source for only one of the three claims you made.

You need to be aware of Wikipedia style conventions, as laid out in the Manual of Style, such as how titles of songs and movies are punctuated. Aside from that, your contributions tend to have a lot of other errors, such as leaving punctuation off the ends of sentences. These issues need to be addressed, especially if you're adding non-crucial content to articles (trivia such as collaborations and singles - not major biographical info; these are fine to include, but the page would be fine without them, too). Other editors can always step in to fix minor issues, but the onus is really on you to submit your work in as correct a form as you can, or it risks being removed.

Soul food RE NCNW

Why should it be there? I believe the tangent into NCNW cookbook history reduces the quality of the article — it says undue weight is given to certain subjects and that certainly seems to be an area where that applies. Also, as you and I both know, it is important to have citations from reliable and relevant sources so that people who access this Wikipedia article are getting VALUABLE and credible information. Scholarly nor food literature include a significant discussion surrounding the impact of NCNW cookbooks in Soul Food. Perhaps you should find the citations for this information since you believe it should be included. Cheesesteaklover16 (talk) 13:20, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

I don't see this as a tangent at all - the section mentions several specific authors of cookbooks, and I should think the National Council of Negro Women, being prominent enough to merit its own Wiki page, deserves equivalent mention. I don't think the inclusion of that paragraph weakens the article, especially as it underlines the connection between soul food and African-American culture and history. However, this is not a hill I wish to die on. If you'd like to re-remove it, feel free, but please include your rationale in the edit summary if you do. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 20:29, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

Hej Jessica, thanks a lot for checking this article, just realized your very helpful edit! (I'm well aware that my language skills in English are - mh - limited - it's been the first and probably the last try, but I had fun - and Richey was a (bit irritating) red link when I (first) wrote the article in de:WP.)
