User talk:Unknown artist

December 2017

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2017. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. !dave 13:09, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Unknown_artist reported by User:Arthur Rubin (Result: ). Thank you. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:45, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

December 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Air France Flight 447. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block.

There is a note in the article, which you should read: <!-- Please do not modify this parameter, which has already been extensively discussed. See talk page thread: ""RfC - What "Summary" should the Accident have?" redux" (closed on 20 June 2013), previous chronological archives on same topic) and "A summary that describes the cause" (discussion open on 27 August 2016)! --> Dr. K. 17:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Edit warring at 2017

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 01:16, 14 December 2017 (UTC)

Ok it's been more than 31 hours now. Please unblock me. I just don't think it's fair to block someone who's still getting use to the systems and rules on this site. Unknown artist (talk) 17:35, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Alfie Scopp

Hello, Unknown artist. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Alfie Scopp, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Alfie Scopp to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

Speedy deletion nomination of Alfie Scopp

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alfie Scopp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk • contribs) 17:31, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Reverted edit

Hello! Could you please elaborate a bit on the reason of your edit, effectively reverting my previous edit? I don't think an empty "Deaths" section in 2018 is useful to any reader, while it may be slightly upsetting to some readers (say, a person whose relative or friend is terminally ill or something). --Yury Bulka (talk) 16:15, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. The article about the person you added to January 28 did not have any source to back up your addition has been reverted. Please do not restore it without providing a direct reliable source. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 18:44, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Could you please provide a source for the date of his death? Thanks, Number 57 14:14, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Following certain ‘rules’

Hello. You appear to be constantly removing people from the 2018 page because they have less than 9 languages on Wikipedia. I wanted to let you know that that rule has been mooted for months, and any editing you remove due to the reasoning of less than 9 languages will be considered as potential edit warring. Please reconsider your constant edits so that you no longer believe in certain guidelines you thought out to be. Thank you. JoeyRuss (talk) 23:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Try all you want I will continue until it stops, you can stay out of it. Unknown artist (talk) 23:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to 2018, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. House1090 (talk) 04:40, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

You have undone a complaint about yourself at the edit warring noticeboard. Can you explain why you shouldn't be blocked for disrupting Wikipedia? Back in December you were blocked 31 hours for edit warring at 2017, and you don't appear to listen to advice. "Try all you want I will continue until it stops, you can stay out of it." Promising to edit war is not a good strategy if you want to continue editing Wikipedia. EdJohnston (talk) 17:47, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

All I'm trying to do is stop people who aren't worldly known from going on a page that as far as I can remember has a rule that says it only accepts people with their article in 9 or more languages. It's the users adding them that are putting me at risk. If you want to prove to me that I'm stupid then send me a link to the rule page. Unkown artist (talk) 18:08, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

You're not allowed to keep reverting, whether or not there is a rule. If you will agree to stop (until you get a talk page consensus in your favor) you may be able to avoid a block. EdJohnston (talk) 18:24, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I'm telling the honest truth. I did see a 9 languages rule. Unknown artist (talk) 18:54, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

That guideline was disregarded months ago. The rule is now anyone with major significance worldwide, despite the amount of languages they had on Wikipedia, can be included. Please keep this in mind for future edits. JoeyRuss (talk) 22:14, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

If you believe someone shouldn’t be included, please use the talk page for future instances so this dispute doesn’t happen again. JoeyRuss (talk) 22:20, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the 4 day ban asshole. So this is what I get for being honest about something I really did see. Unknown artist (talk) 22:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

If you really did see it, can you link to it? EdJohnston (talk) 23:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

I really did see it, but it was a while ago and I've forgotten how to get to it. Unknown artist (talk) 23:54, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit warring at 2018; continuation of the previous problem

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 4 days for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. If you don't intend to follow Wikipedia policy regarding consensus, you may not belong here. EdJohnston (talk) 22:02, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Summarily removing items from year articles without reason

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 12:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry I keep forgetting. Unknown artist (talk) 12:55, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

You can change your settings to remind you to add one each time you press the Publish button. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on 2018. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. –Davey2010^Talk 16:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at 2018 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. –Davey2010^Talk 16:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. I've gone ahead and added a source to back up your recent addition to February 2. Please try to find sources for additions to these pages as the burden to provide them is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Deaths in 2018, you may be blocked from editing. Do not add the new day before the LINT time passes midnight! --Marbe166 (talk) 10:00, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did adding Betsy Jochum's unsupported date of birth to February 8. WP:DOB and WP:BLP are taken seriously. Toddst1 (talk) 15:05, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Blocked yet again

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 month for continuing same behavior as led to prior blocks. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Jayron32 15:42, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I have blocked this account for 1 month because it doesn't seem like you've learned from the prior blocks. Let me explain this concisely, for the last time. When you add new information to an article (such as someone's birthdate), you are required to properly cite the reliable source where that information came from. People have been trying to explain that to you for months. If you want to be unblocked early, you're going to have to demonstrate knowledge of Wikipedia policy here, and convince us you're going to abide by it going forward. Also, patience is running out with this. Consider this 1 month block your last chance. The next time you are blocked, it will be an indefinite block. Good day. --Jayron32 15:42, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I disagree. Can you point me to where this user added a birthdate to an article without a reference in the last few days? The Rambling Man (talk) 15:47, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Is this Jayron32 a pathetic troll who blocked me for no reason at all. I haven't done anything to deserve this. Unknown artist (talk) 15:50, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm not sure that calling me names is a useful way forward here. Like I said above, explain why you need to be unblocked, and what you are going to do to change your behavior going forward, and you'll be unblocked. If you want to call me names, well, have fun with that. I doubt that will result in your desired outcome. --Jayron32 15:57, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Please don't block me. All I'm trying to do is expanding certain pages and adding content I feel works better. Plus I don't know how to do references so it's kind of unfair to block me because I can't do something. Unknown artist (talk) 16:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

If Jayron32 unblocks you, will you work with me every time you want to add something for the next few days so we can add a reference with it, I can help with the technical aspects. P.S. Worth an apology to Jayron either way for calling him a troll. He's not that hirsute. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Jayron32 I'm sorry for the troll comment, I tend to lose it when I feel something undeserved happens to me. Unknown artist (talk) 16:15, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

So do you accept the offer of assistance with referencing which might help you get unblocked? The Rambling Man (talk) 16:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

If someone dies and I need someone to provide a reference to a news article reporting the death and if I add what you see as poorly sourced content, then yes. Unknown artist (talk) 16:22, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

• That's all we want. Work with us and we'll be helpful. Anyways, I have unblocked this account. Vaya con dios. --Jayron32 16:23, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
• Indeed, although currently you would be editing within house style to not reference additions to the 2018 article. Other articles need inline referencing, and this works the other way round, I'm not going to monitor your edits, but if you need my help adding a reference, you ask me. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:43, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Birth Date and Age Template

Hi Unknown artist. Please note that the birth date and age template is used only for living people, not those in the "possibly living" category because, if we do not know whether or not they are alive, we cannot claim that they are a certain age, per Wikipedia's policies on verifiability. Thanks. Canadian Paul 12:08, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi again Unknown artist. Listing an age for a person in the "possibly living" category is the same thing as using the birth date and age template. As I said, we cannot list an age for an individual if we do not know if they are alive, because it is not verifiable. If you have evidence that they are alive, please include it on the page. Canadian Paul 20:51, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Please stop adding the birth date and age template to individuals without providing evidence that they are alive, as you did here. As I have said, this material is not verifiable and continuing to add these templates inappropriately can be considered disruptive editing. Canadian Paul 15:07, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

You are still doing it and now it has become disruptive. If you do it again, you will be blocked from editing. Canadian Paul 20:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Poison (Alice Cooper song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Heavy metal (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. 115.164.170.22 (talk) 07:17, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Keith O'Brien, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Zyc1174 _chat? ^{what I did} 09:26, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, problem editor

I see from your edit history that you find it worthwhile to be first with news. You are incorrect. Wikipedia is not a news outlet but an encyclopedia. We also need info to be right. Take, for instance, your edit to Peter George Peterson. He did actually die and I added the citation. Your edit only said that he died. While the info you added is correct, without a citation it might be sneaky vandalism. Rudy Boesch has been declared dead several times in the past couple of years, always with a very recent date. There's never a citation in those cases and I double-check Google just to be sure because of non-optimal editors like you, filled up with bad habits. While I'm here to complain, I'd also like you to remember that we expect edit summaries. You use these on occasion but you could stand to do this all the time.

If you're asking why I'm talking down to you like this when you're just trying to help, please inculcate the idea that I'm upbraiding you for your poor editing. I believe you to be a good-faith editor and if you would just become a bit more interested in precision and attention to detail, you could actually become a positive contributor. If I didn't care, I'd just slap you with a template and get you run off of Wikipedia. I'd like to see you start to help us. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:06, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Pictures at year pages

Please stop with your disruptive editing. Wikipedia pages are not galleries (we have Commons for that), and you're breaking the layout with edits like this one - the pictures are pushed below the corresponding month heading, making these pages very confusing. Secondly, I notice that almost all of the pictures you're adding depict Western entertainers which makes the collection quite imbalanced. It may be difficult to see the wider picture, but there's more to life than pop figures and Wikipedia should reflect that. So again, please don't keep adding pictures if there's no room for them. — Yerpo ^Eh? 17:49, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Also, please desist from adding names willy-nilly by date to the the births and deaths sections of random years (1925, 1926, 1927, etc). There is limited, finite room and degrees of suitable notability, not to mention formatting, alphabetization and categorization, errors which others must correct.

Ronhjones I am sorry about repeatedly adding content without any useful sources. I just want to be useful and expand different articles. And your probably not aware of this but I'm not very good with links and I will ask for one in sentences that need them for proof. If you unblock me I promise that I will try not to do it again. Unknown artist (talk) 16:46, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Another user and I asked you some questions, below. Your answer to these were, "I've never been confronted about any of those three questions so I don't know." As such, we definitely can't unblock you now and should probably extend your block indefinitely. Yamla (talk) 20:15, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

(talk page stalker) I just converted your comment to an unblock request as it showed up in my watchlist. I'm not an admin, but as someone who has had some interaction with you over several months around unsourced WP:BLP issues, I have a couple of questions for you that may help the reviewing admin with your unblock request:

1. Do you understand why adding someone's birthday to an article without a source is a problem?
2. Do you know how to properly cite a reliable source?
3. Do you know the difference between a reliable source and an unreliable source?

Toddst1 (talk) 19:53, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Additionally, you have been blocked for this before, and unblocked with the agreement to properly source your additions. Without looking at your edits, it appears that you violated this agreement. Given that, how can we be sure we can trust you won't repeat your previous behaviour? It would also be helpful if you provided an example of a single edit you might make, properly sourced. --Yamla (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

I've never been confronted about any of those three questions so I don't know. Sorry Unknown artist (talk) 20:10, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Pete Shelley

I've restored Shelley to the 2018 article - this is the third time I've had to restore someone to this list removed by you, when a 30-second Google search would have revealed many international obituaries. On the first page alone of a Google News search, there are articles not only from the UK, but from Rolling Stone and Pitchfork as well as other US, Canadian and Australian news sources. Shelley was the frontman and songwriter of one of the most important 1970s punk bands, and was internationally known. I'll say again what I said last time - stop removing things that you know nothing about, or can't be bothered to investigate. Black Kite (talk) 01:00, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

• And another one - Paul Sherwen, another British subject who had multiple international obituaries, including the New York Times. Please take this as a final warning on your disruption to this article. Black Kite (talk) 19:39, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

January 2019

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for yet again removing - twice - an obviously internationally notable death from the 2019 page. I have warned you previously three times about removing people where a simple Google search would have noted obvious international obituaries. In this case, Daryl Dragon was part of a group that had No.1 hits in multiple countries, as a quick look at Captain & Tennille would have shown. As you clearly do not possess the competence to edit these articles, and given the previous warnings, I have blocked you and will do so again if the disruption continues. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 12:16, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Your block has been extended by a period of 1 week 2 weeks for abusing multiple accounts via sockpuppetry using an two anonymous IP addresses. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Black Kite (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Deaths to yearly articles

Before you go around erasing names from yearly articles make sure you do your researching before erasing them. And don't just assume that they are not notable, without providing a specific reason. Matt Campbell (talk) 06:20, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

February 2020

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dancing with the Stars (Australian season 17). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Happily888 (talk) 23:46, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Marriage template

I undid your recent change to Katherine Johnson. Most of the time if someone dies while married, the last spouse is listed with a marriage date but no end-of-marriage date. See Al Capone for an example.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but the first 3 deceased people I picked from Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Marriage all followed this convention. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:52, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Advice on year articles

To keep the lists of births and deaths manageable, entries are limited to internationally notable people. Before adding any new entries to Year articles, please consider the following:

1. Are they internationally notable?
2. Are they already in the relevant Year in Topic articles?
3. Is a reliable source cited?

If you can't answer "Yes" to all three questions, do not add. Deb (talk) 15:15, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Unknown artist:, Please do not add Shoemaker to the Deaths in 2021 page until a reliable source is available. As per WP:RS, a blog is not considered reliable. Given her prominence, a better source will come. Please just be patient. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 09:57, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
