On 7 November 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Babadook, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the titular monster from 2014 horror film The Babadook was later adopted as a gay icon in internet memes after being listed as an "LGBT film" by Netflix?

Sorry for getting back to you a bit late. I had not checked the earliest provenance of the quote (maybe that's something that should be asked to the wider wiki community), but almost every source I checked - that was at least RS - attributed the quote to Marley. The best source I found just now, with the accompanying text as follows:

"Don’t be deceived by the war rhetoric — Marley was a peacemaker. He nearly gave his life for it in 1976. Political tensions between Jamaican PM Michael Manley and opposition leader, Edward Seaga, were thick. A peace-building concert was organised and Marley was scheduled to play. Two days to the concert, gunmen attacked his home, seriously injuring his wife and manager. Marley got away with minor injuries and defiantly went ahead to play at the concert without the terrified Wailers. “The people who are trying to make this world worse aren’t taking a day off. How can I?” he said thereafter, before going on self-exile in the UK till 1978."

- Jack Sebastian (talk) 17:40, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jack Sebastian: The article was posted in 2021; the quote was posted back in January 2009 by a retired Wikipedia user. If you can find one source that predates January 2009, then I can keep the quote. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 19:12, 20 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can you explain your reasoning for needing an earlier source for the quote? My understanding that the litmus for inclusion of verification, not truth. I think it fulfills both, as the quote, in every appearance, is attributed to Marley. Even the National Geographic considers it to be a quote by him 1. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just because it was posted by a reliable source doesn’t mean it’s the correct information. Least we forget about the Brazilian Aardvark debacle from 2008-2014? The New Yorker covered it. It’s a great example of circular reporting. THAT’S why I need an article before January 2009. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 15:17, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Respectfully, I would suggest that you both re-read my previous post and understand that - in comparison to other situations - OSE. I get what you are saying about circular reporting, but that isn't up to us. Your opinion on truth of the quote doesn't matter, and that is not meant to hurt your feelings, but instead to remind your that, in Wikipedia, THE LITMUS FOR INCLUSION IS VERIFIABILITY, NOT TRUTH.

If you are as deeply concerned about the verifiability of the quote, do more research yourself. I have provided several RS sources; you are completely free to research further, as in actually reading one or more of the books written about him. The quote is widely enough known that it might have turned up in some form there. I think it bears mentioning that in the article, one of the references are Issue 230 of Rolling Stone magazine, published 13 January, 1977. That seems pretty solid to me - and well before the Millennium, but the Help Desk might be able to check the magazine itself for the quote if you are concerned with the veracity of the quote.

If you want, you can suggest an RfC, A 3O, or jump on up to an admin board for their opinion on the matter. I have no dog in this fight, but removing fairly well-documented and reliably-sourced information does present a problem for me. Seeing as we are apparently in disagreement, widening the circle on the issue

@Jack Sebastian: I will let the admins know about it. Also, I read through the cited Rolling Stone Article that you mentioned. The purported quote is nowhere to be found. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 05:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I had requested access to the issue and article from my local library, but I hadn't heard back just yet. Could you be so kind as to link me to your source for the magazine and article?

I've also emailed you about the admin stuff as well as reached out to some higher ups at Wiki-En about it, so I'm not going to talk about it here. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 14:53, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Jack Sebastian: Thanks for reaching out to me and the admins. As for the Rolling Stones source, I used a website that copied and pasted the original article. I couldn’t find the quotation here.

In my discussion on the Bob Marley page, one user found a pre-2009 source. The Will Smith movie I Am Legend - found in this clip. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 15:04, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for the link. You're right; it doesn't seem to be there. And thanks for the link to I Am Legend clip.

I would ask that you strike the inference in the article discussion page that suggests that the quote was fabricated by a Wikipedia user or added disingenuously; it muddies the waters of the discussion, seems snarky, and isn't germane to the discussion, as well as for other reasons which I outlined in the email to you. I will confine my comments about Marley to the article discussion there. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 15:17, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I removed all mentions of any Wikipedia users in my side of the Bob Marley talk page. And thanks for understanding my point of view on the subject. I completely apologize for coming off as antagonistic. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 15:27, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I appreciate your actions on the matter and hope we can continue to edit collaboratively. I think Oversight will handle the rest. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:12, 22 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I know this sounds very dumb but thanks for creating the Lynja Article I have been thinking of creating one for a while but haven’t known when or how to start Thanks have a good day!

Sincerely, SupersaurYT SupersaurYT (talk) 01:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@SupersaurYT: You are very welcome. I think it was the right time to create an article, considering that much of her earlier life was not reported before she died. After knowing about her life, I was able to find some articles from Newspapers.com to fill the gaps. I have followed her since around 2021 when I stumbled on her channel on YouTube shorts.

On 14 January 2024, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Lynja, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. DatGuy^Talk_Contribs 15:53, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
