Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Marin County, California, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Los Ranchitos, California. 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.)

I was wondering if Newsweek if a reliable source? Newsweek wrote about a fan felling traumatized and exploited by what Colleen had them done to them onstage in a show. I brought it up on Colleen Ballinger talk page, but Ssilvers says it trivia and Throast says that Newsweek didn’t validate the accusers claims? Another user says Newsweek is a yellow source? Sorry to bother you, I was just asking since I saw your input on Colleen’s Ballinger’s talk page the other day. If you want to see what I talking about it’s on Colleen Ballinger’s talk page and the section is Newsweek article. Paige Matheson (talk) 22:31, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paige Matheson: See WP:NEWSWEEK: "Newsweek articles since 2013 are not generally reliable". Johnuniq (talk) 09:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Paige Matheson: I messed up the above notification to you, so am posting this. Johnuniq (talk) 09:37, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've collapsed the section where you are discussing another editor. An article talk page is not for that purpose - it is for discussing improvements to the article, and your comments have not come close to that. I strongly advise you to not to continue along that line or it will end up at ANI about increasingly disruptive behaviour. - SchroCat (talk) 08:47, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Despressso: Please review my comment at 09:04, 19 June 2023 above. You have made several comments at Talk:Colleen Ballinger recently but none of them relate to concrete proposals regarding article content. You will need to find another website to discuss whatever is the subject of your comments because they are WP:NOTFORUM violations here. I am commenting as an administrator with a responsibility to ensure that disruption is minimized. Independent opinions are available at WP:Teahouse. Johnuniq (talk) 07:07, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have been citing sources and correcting erroneous claims in those proposals… Tell me this: Why are the other editors’ blatant biases and opinions not argued, but since I am the only one calling out said disruptive edits, I am the only one being told off. Dismissing sourced evidence with opinions like “Adam McIntyre made 12 videos attacking Ballinger, that should have been a red flag for journalists” is extremely dangerous and not encyclopedic. The fact that it is a grooming allegation is not an independent opinion, it is corroborated by multiple reliable sources. Despressso (talk) 07:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't fix all problems. I'm watching this page since leaving a comment here and just before my most recent post I looked at the page to see what the above was about. It is true that you are expressing concerns about things but you are not engaging in discussion regarding article content. I know nothing about the subject but I gather that someone was invited from the audience to the stage and certain things happened that might be a shrewd comment on social norms or might be exploitation: I don't know. I do know that using an article talk page in the way you are is disruptive. You have to make a proposal to add certain text or to remove certain text. In both cases, reliable sources are needed. Reasons for the change must be based on Wikipedia's procedures, not personal opinions about what happened. Johnuniq (talk) 07:53, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. FYI, A-class is only awarded to articles that have passed a formal A-class review. Can you please remove A-class from any articles that you promoted? Thanks. Schierbecker (talk) 18:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
