moving Dawn M. Adams to Dawn Adams

It seems you've copied the text of this article to a new name and made the earlier name a redirect. It is considered better to move the page using the 'move page' function which is in one of the tabs. That function accomplishes a few things: it keeps the page history with the new name; it keeps the talk page with the content page; and it tracks who the page creator was more accurately. It seems that in this situation I am supposed to ask an administrator to do the move, so if you see a change in the article's history, that's why. It shouldn't change the content. -- econterms (talk) 06:24, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Your are not a journalist and Wikipedia is Not#News

Please review the WP:MOS and write encyclopedically. Abductive (reasoning) 04:25, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

About Vadim Rabinovich

Dear colleague and editor JayCoop! You have cancelled all the remarks I legitimately introduced into the Vadim Rabinovich biography here - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vadim_Rabinovich&action=history. Vadim Rabinovich is a public politician, a leader of a Ukrainian political force, an MP. He ran for the president during the previous presidential election campaign in Ukraine. English-speaking Ukrainians and foreigners living in Ukraine have the right to know as much information about Rabinovich as possible as the politician takes decisions touching millions of Ukrainian citizens.

You have eliminated from Wikipedia verified and confirmed facts from the Vadim Rabinovich's biography in fact the ones not even challenged by the MP himself: - his arrest on suspicion of stealing building materials; - imprisonment under respective court's ruling for embezzlement of state property; - cooperation with a soviet secret service; - possession of double citizenship (of Ukraine and Israel) which is prohibited in Ukraine.

The said facts are clearly mentioned in both Russian and Ukrainian versions of the Wikipedia Article and are referred to as being authentic. Mr. Rabinovich does certainly interpret these facts in his own way however, never denies them. I believe that Wikipedia users have the right to know the truth. Hiding negative information about Rabinovich contradicts the regulations of Wikipedia. The information I have added about Rabinovich is socially important. I call for a dialogue with You. Please provide Your arguments concerning removal of the said facts from Rabinovich's biography posted in Wikipedia. I am confident that the best decision will be Your revising the decision to delete the aforementioned information.

Your unsupported suspicions are not enough to justify revisions

Other than your unsupported suspicion, which is false, do you have any good, legitimate reason to oppose the information I added to the page for Minnesota state representative Mary Franson? 67.4.86.65 (talk) 03:02, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

gays in the military map

FYI, I'm updating your map per the WP-en article. The previous editor has been blocked as a sockpuppet and did not provide sources. But in many of the countries I'm removing, service is probably legal, or at least has been since you created the map. If you know of any, please update (and the article as well,, you can put your sources there) or chime in. — kwami (talk) 02:16, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
