Alright. I'll be more careful next time. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Recent Edits on Andrews, NC Page

Hello! I saw you removed my edit on the page of the town of Andrews, NC. On the 'Education' section of the page I made an edit adding information about the second expansion of Andrews Elementary. You stated through a message that the information was incorrect. I have returned that information, and added a picture of the plaque in the school building that supports my information. There is no article regarding the expansion, so I couldn't source it. The image is the only source of information about the expansion. I understand without sources, the information may be incorrect, but the picture I included will prove otherwise.

Thank you very much, and have a great day!

@JoshuaB.King29 Alright then, you may go ahead and add your information again. I might have been too hasty to revert it, but you're free to add it back if you please. Cheers! NoobThreePointOh (talk) 15:52, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Mike Snider page

Mike's wife passed away on April 24, 2024. I added this to his Personal Life info, but you backed it out. Here is her obituary: https://www.williamsfhofgreenfieldandgleason.com/obituary/Sabrina-SniderGleasonChapel Kman38237 (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Kman38237 That's not a reliable source. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 20:53, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

That is the funeral home website. What do you mean by it is not reliable? Are you a real person or a bot? 208.87.75.12 (talk) 21:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Umm... how exactly am I a bot? NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@209.87.75.12 Also, the problem is that he (or you if you decided to use an IP) didn't even put that link in the sentence to explain how Mike's wife died. If you're going to do that, you may do so, but be aware that there will be other people also monitoring the page. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Ram Chandra Bose

I noticed you reverted a number of my edits to the article on Ram Chandra Bose. I understand the rule that blogs are not reliable sources. The reason I linked to that site was to include a photo of the grave site of Bose. Would it be acceptable to insert a link to the photograph alone (see link below)? Should I rather insert the photograph itself? I tried to locate George H. Shepherd who posted the photograph to seek permission, but found no address where to reach him. Also, he has appeared to cease adding to his blogs since 2022. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP-IdZlTnop1_ek8qyWqrBU3UWyJ8pvdOJJuDillxWsbaXxFFwZ0hgJ_-k9HE4mX0HWgSt7e8kcpDjZzjIyFZnJbFlBhpwgviDU1J87ObegJ4JDFj2MqeZLbBBJxEeRpsyT-Lh5rngGIg/s1600/CemNov18.15+Ram+Chandra+Bose+1836-1892.jpg

I noticed you also reverted all references to my published article on Bose. I have found the Wikipedia restrictions on inserting self-published articles. Are there also rules prohibiting an author including his own work if it is published in a scholarly, peer-reviewed book?

Thanks,

@Aguenther Well, you can add your references back. However, I would advise you to ask someone if adding the image is appropriate, since it could attract some contention. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 17:52, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance. Do you know if linking to Find-a-Grave is less contentious? The same image is there, but in a much lower resolution. Aguenther (talk) 21:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Maybe, I guess. You might want to see it on a fact-checking site just to make sure. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 22:13, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
