Can you stop modifying the genre's he has played in please? It is a well known fact blackmore was an innovator and user of neoclassical metal Rrevh0619 ( talk) 20:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
My bad didn't know that. My sources for it are Loudwire's top 10 neoclassical guitarists, and the song Difficult to Cure by Rainbow. Loudwire is a credible source for heavy metal music, and Ritchie Blackmore played in Rainbow Rrevh0619 ( talk) 01:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
I assumed that I wouldn’t need a source because glam metal is already sourced on Queensrÿche’s page and on multiple of their albums. But if a source is needed, I’ll find one Category adder :D ( talk) 18:05, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

I deleted two citations and two references because they were related to articles that didn't explicitly say that Martha Quinn left MTV in 1992. I had originally referred to the articles because they were from 1992, and I was essentially trying to indicate that Martha Quinn was part of MTV in 1992 but gone before the year was out. I deleted the two citations and two references because I thought that they were no long necessary in light of the new citation and new reference that I included today. The new citation and new reference refer to an article that does explicitly indicate that Martha Quinn left MTV in 1992. Maxikray ( talk) 16:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
Can you point me to where in the MOS prohibits the capitalization of the definite article in proper nouns. I can’t locate it and am genuinely curious as to the thinking behind it. Canterbury Tail talk 01:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Admittedly I was getting a little annoyed because i thought you were just trying to edit war over the most petty stuff imaginable, but when you brought up some examples, it actually reminded me of the time when the founder of the slam death metal band Gorevent proclaimed himself the "leader" of the band, [1] and I realized at that point that it's clearly a very Japanese sort of thing. I guess it made sense when I realized that. / Second Skin ( talk) 21:10, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your attention to the Wayne Brady page on Wikipedia.
I deleted the phrase "great deal" before "anxiety" because it is vague and difficult to quantify. Moreover, although a source says that Brady "suffered a great deal of anxiety,," we should not take it at face value. Kamtal75 ( talk) 22:46, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Hi - I'm letting your revert stand, but you are wrong about the possessive. In the English language, it is proper both ways - S'S OR S'. Neither form is "needed" as you incorrectly state in your revert and telling me that its a possessive by sourcing MOS:POSS is not really helpful since we both know what the sentence says. Please see - https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-happens-to-names-when-we-make-them-plural-or-possessive. Ckruschke ( talk) 17:19, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
You shouldn't have removed Oosgood Law School on Arthur Meighen, therefore I have reverted your edits. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 22:45, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
On Louis St. Laurent I was going to remove the source anyway, just a heads up. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 20:21, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
I notice you delete lots of uncited claims, which is fine with me. However, I'm wondering if you research these claims before you delete them? If you search up the claims and find a source that backs it up, please put it in the article you're editing. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 21:23, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
I saw you edit on Brian Mulroney that removed a comma. Isn't it supposed to be, "enthusiastically embraced political organization, and assisted the local PC candidate in his successful 1956 Nova Scotia provincial election campaign; the PCs, led provincially by Robert Stanfield" WITH a comma? Or is there a Wikipedia policy on commas? If there is, please link it. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 17:28, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
I can assure you that I am not a sock puppet. I am a real unquie person. I reverted it because the edits seemed to be unnecessary, and nonproductive. I kindly ask you to revert your previous edit. Thank you have a nice day. HarryOwens100 ( talk) 24:08, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I hope you are well. Many Exorcists say that Yoga is evil because it has connections to demonic figures, amoungst other reasons. Do you think a 'devout' Catholic would practise something that is considered evil by many in the clergy?

The MOS doesn't say you have to write it in words. I'll be reverting your edits to the way it was before as they are unconstructive. "Write 3%, three percent, or three per cent." Ak-eater06 ( talk) 21:24, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
See WP:USI. You should add a [Citation Needed] tag rather than mass deleting unsourced content. Why don't you do this? Ak-eater06 ( talk) 10:02, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Please heed the above advice. -- ₪ MIESIANIACAL 16:44, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Ya gotta begin a discussion on the talkpage of the article, the content dispute is occurring on per WP:BRD. In the case of Roland Michener (as an example), you deleted material & another editor restored it. At that moment, you were suppose to go to the talkpage & seek consensus for your deletion. Merely reverting, without engaging at the talkpage, is frowned upon on the project. In the meantime, as the other fellows mentioned. Adding 'citation-tags' would be preferable to outright reverts.

Check this out Westminister system. "The head of state or his or her representative (such as a governor-general) formally appoints as the head of government whoever commands the confidence of the lower or sole house of the legislature and invites him or her to form a government."
If that's not reliable enough for you, then here: https://www.britannica.com/topic/parliamentary-system ("the party (or a coalition of parties) with the greatest representation in the parliament (legislature) forms the government") read about it. I have given you four sources (two in one of my edit summaries) while you haven't given me any. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 13:58, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
"Also wrong is the suggestion that the Governor-General will 'call upon' Mr. Martin to form a government. It's the United States where a re-elected incumbent must again be sworn in, not here. Mr. Martin doesn't need to be asked to form a government because he already leads one." ( Guy Giorno, "Should the GG Be Able to Fire the PM?" National Post, 26 June 2004, p. A19) Your first two citations above (to Wikipedia and Britannica) do not address the issue. I don't deny that the governor general invited Martin to form a government in 2003, as I said above. I am saying that after the election of 2004, the governor general would not invite a sitting prime minister to form a government, because Martin had already done so. There's nothing in the Wikipedia or Britannica articles that says the governor general invites a sitting prime minister to form a government. As for your citation from the Washington Post, I would suggest that a Canadian lawyer and former chief of staff to a premier and a prime minister (Guy Giorno, above) is a more reliable expert than an American journalist. Instant Comma ( talk) 01:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
Here's another constitutional expert: Elections in Canada "normally produced a clear one-party majority in the House of Commons, leaving no doubt in the mind as to who should have the right to be first invited to form a government or continue in office." Notice the clear distinction between continuing in office and forming a government.

"Revert an edit if it is not an improvement" it says.
Also the editor in the 2021 election article never even left an edit summary.
Hope this helps. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 02:53, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle is a guideline while Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary is an essay or opinion piece from Wikipedia. Citing the latter on every edit summary will not further your argument as you are citing an opinion that happens to agree with yours, not a rule. Ak-eater06 ( talk) 17:30, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
Another question, are you going through my User Contributions every single day? Even obscure and non-political articles, such as Louis-Alexandre Taschereau and Mike Bossy, are getting edited by you after I edit. A bit creepy to be honest...just a thought.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give
Jay Monteith a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into
J. Waldo Monteith. This is known as a "
cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is
legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa ( talk) 14:35, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Thanks. I did try to move the page by using the "move" tab, but the system wouldn't let me. I'll try seeking help as you suggested. Or, if you have the necessary authority to make the change, would you help me? Instant Comma ( talk) 15:03, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at

See WP:JOBTITLES:
"Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, grand duke, lord mayor, pope, bishop, abbot, prime minister, leader of the opposition, chief financial officer, and executive director [...] are capitalized only in the following cases:
Thus, it's, "as 10 September was a Sunday, the order-in-council was tabled in the House only on the following day, when the Prime Minister [title substituting for Mackenzie King's name] told that chamber that the Cabinet had issued the order [...]"
It's, "Minister of Justice Ernest Lapointe threatened to resign and asserted the Prime Minister's [substituting for Mackenzie King's name] statement went against the Statute of Westminster."
It's, "Nazi Germany's continued armament and violation of treaties forced the Prime Minister [substituting for Mackenzie King's name] to accept that Canada might once again have to fight alongside Britain [...]"
The term "prime minister" uses lower case only when referring to the position in general. ₪ MIESIANIACAL 22:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
"Not clear why you removed "up to". Would you explain?"
Hi, I removed the phrase up to because it appears that he could be sentenced to above 70 years, hence the plus. It doesn't seem to make grammatical sense for it to be "up to 70+ years" because up to signifies a maximum of 70 years, but 70+ signifies that it could be above 70 years which is contradictory. Happy to leave it how it is, just thought it sounded weird. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acmeism.Data ( talk • contribs) 13:47, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Instant Comma, I understand your frustration about how an article can simultaneously state that the coat of arms established the national colours as red and white, without expressly saying so. The answer is heraldry. Heraldic language is meant to be compact, and also has various conventions. One of the conventions is that when the full blazon includes a « wreath » (meaning a twisted cloth or cloths) the colours of the wreath are the colours of the armiger (the person who bears the arms, in this case the monarch). By extension, those colours are also the colours worn by the armiger’s supporters. In medieval times, that would be the armiger’s fair lady and personal retinue, but now, by extension, it means the country. So we check out the blazon of the Canadian arms, and there’s this passage:
That’s herald speak for a wreath composed of white and red cloths twisted together, which means that white (argent -silver) and red (gules - blood) are the heraldic colours of the king of Canada, and by extension, the national colours of Canada, all without using the words « red » and « white ». Best wishes in heraldry, Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 03:33, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi Instant Comma,
