DYK for Gloria Dickie
[edit]
On 15 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gloria Dickie, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that environmental journalist Gloria Dickie wrote her thesis on how cities in Colorado changed garbage laws to prevent bear incursions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gloria Dickie. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Gloria Dickie), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Could you check on newspaper coverage for this subject? I hope all is well. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:09, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, with the current issues going on with Newspapers.com access, I've been trying to avoid doing articles that need that access until it's fixed. Because the current work-around to still access and clip articles is deeply annoying, especially when I need to look through a large amount of papers. SilverserenC 01:13, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. Thanks for all your help! I hope Newspapers.com gets things sorted out. Always frustrating when things become inaccessible. I remember when Google made archival news stories available. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
One more. I hope you don't mind. Trying not to let these fall through the cracks so posting about them helps me remember too.. Party on. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:31, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Civility issue
[edit]As a fellow veteran Wikipedian, I understand that it can get very frustrating to deal with new users who are canvassed off-wiki during Yasuke/AC Shadows controversies, but I feel that sometimes your cynicism like this and this were a bit too aggressive and not helpful in convincing them to back off peacefully. Just my 2 cents and in no attempt to stop you from your contributions. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk · contri.) 06:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi Silver, Randy Kehler, who has recently died, was just nominated for deletion. Not sure why, as a search shows press going back decades. Any help would really be appreciated! Best, Thriley (talk) 21:42, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
Yasuke was not a samurai.
[edit]Yasuke was not a samurai, so then why do you keep changing it to he was a samurai. Yasuke was a sword bearer. The whole he was samurai was created by Thomas Lockley who wrote a fiction book. Lockley has deleted all his social media accounts and is on the run since he was caught. He wrote two books one in english where Yasuke is stated to be a samurai and one in Japanese where Yasuke is not a samurai. Lockley was hoping that the Japanese never find out about this Ronten5 (talk) 18:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Ronten5, if you are just here to push your WP:POV, then you should not be an editor on Wikipedia. We go by what reliable sources say and there are a bunch of sources other than Lockley who describe Yasuke as a samurai and whom did so before and after Lockley ever made any claims. SilverserenC 18:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm here for the tuth that's why I edit on Wikipedia. And name them so called sources that say Yasuke was a samurai. Every western sources use Lockley's book as their source. Ronten5 (talk) 18:36, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
