User talk:75.101.104.17

Welcome!

I am a Wikipedia user who does not always log in. When i do not log in, this page -- or one with a similar IP address -- appears as my user talk page.

This is an alternative account of Catherineyronwode.

This user has been on Wikipedia for 18 years, 8 months and 24 days.

I like to discuss matters pertaining to articles on their respective article talk pages.

I will respond on your talk page if you post here, and after i do so, i may delete what you wrote here.

I am not a very social person; my apologies in advance for being almost completely focussed on writing and editing, with just a little hand-waving time to say hello to those who share similar interests with me. No offense intended.

If you need to contact me and do not get a quick response via this page or my regular talk page, you may email or telephone me at my work site, the Lucky Mojo Curio Co., which can be found on the world wide web.

Conflict of interest

In the edit summary of this edit, you claimed to be the subject of the article you were editing. Please review the policies at WP:COI and see that your contributions to this article do in fact represent a conflict of interest. If you would like to propose changes to be made to the article, please suggest them on the article's Talk page rather than make them yourself. COI editing can result in your account being blocked.

That's why my summary read

"(header "Other work" was misplaced -- Organic Gardening magazine was erroneously in the legal cases subjection -- cat yronwode (no COI, just trying to clarify the subheader placement))"

The words "no COI, just trying to clarify the subheader placement" indicate that all i did was move the code for the subhead. Yes, COI editing can result in an account being blocked -- but sending pointless warning notices to long-time Wikipedians can cause the sender to be seen as uncivil. Oh. I forgot. You are ANONYMOUS, so you have no need to be civil, Mr. General, Sir! LOL! 75.101.104.17 (talk) 06:25, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

citation request

I'm sorry you find it burdensome, but referencing your own website for any claims such as "Eclipse published titles such as Miracleman by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman, The Rocketeer by Dave Stevens, and Zot! by Scott McCloud" really does need third party sourcing. I am only trying to improve the article for everyone.Theroadislong (talk) 19:27, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I do not find this "burdensome," but i hope you understand that Eclipse published about 1,500 comic books, trading cards, posters, and graphic novels, and i cannot provide a third party source for each one.

As i explained on the biography's talk page, in the past when i suggested posting scans of comic books with the Eclipse logo and my masthead credits to source the material, i was told that this was unacceptable because it was "original research." Later i was told that my own statements and the indexing of my own work was unacceptable because it constituted a "conflict of interest."

So this time, to please you, i spent a moment and i did provide an impeccable ref from The Atlantic magazine in which i was cited as the editor of Scott McCloud's "Zot!" -- but seriously, the problem is still there, because next time someone will cite-tag the fact that Eclipse published "Scout" or that i actually edited "Airboy." There can no end to it, technically speaking, until all 1,500 items that Eclipse published have been cite-tagged and sourced.

On the talk page of the article i have given you tools to conduct sourcing research yourself at the Grand Comics Database, and as long as you recognize the GCD as reliable (most people do), then you will find it of help in working on the biographies of all other comic book professionals as well as myself -- and maybe we can put an end to this endless searching for citations.

Jewish links

I notice you often add links to the word Jewish on WP, when you are doing this, please could you also add Palestinan too? They also do not "wish to be erased" Apeholder (talk) 03:46, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

I think you mean Palestinian -- and if i find it unlinked on first usage in a bio page, i will be glad to link it. 75.101.104.17 (talk) 17:11, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm RandomCanadian. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Allen Spraggett, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:33, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
