Chicago

Thank you for reading my addition to the Chicago page. There was absolutely no AI used, nor would I use it, because I find its output bland, redundant, weird, and cliche (sometimes all in the same sentence). What I wrote was adapted from my book about the Secret Six (Red Lightning Books, March 2026), which was researched through my line-by-line review of thousands of newspaper articles at newspapers.com and elsewhere, and organized and written entirely by myself, also with no reliance on AI. Further to my reply: Did you actually read my addition to the Chicago page, follow any of the links and view the vast number of sources cited, or did you revert my contribution because some AI system accused me of being AI, and you believed it? Are the robots going to start calling humans robots, and are Wikipedia's editors going to enable that?

Editing

Clearly, I am a novice at this. I simply wished to update Town Officials information for the Town of Almond, NY, that was very much outdated. No one else will take care of this (obviously), so I stepped in. The information was garnered direct from the Town's website. AlmondCitizen (talk) 02:58, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@AlmondCitizen: Thank you for writing. The content you added was malformed and not appropriate for Wikipedia (eg. phone numbers for town officials). Please let me know what you need updated and I'll try to help. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:46, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Halifax vs West Halifax, VT

West Halifax is an unincorporated village in Halifax. How about if we add Hilda Stone back in with (West Halifax) in parentheses? Thanks Littenberg (talk) 22:15, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Littenberg: Her article says she is from West Halifax, Vermont. This is geographically the most specific article. Although this isn't specifically addressed at WP:USCITIES#Notable people, it is discussed at WP:COUNTY#Content suggestions where it states: "Notable people should be placed into appropriate city or town articles within the county". Similarly, at List of neighborhoods in Chicago, each neighborhood has its own "notable people" section. Magnolia677 (talk) 22:31, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leunghoching1234567 and election results

I was about to leave a note on User_talk:Leunghoching1234567 about unsourced election results, and saw that you had already left some comments about their editing. I appreciate that election results are being added to so many of these articles, but some of them just point towards a source in an edit summary, while others -- and Leunghoching1234567 is a real issue here -- don't even bother to mention a source.

Do you have any thoughts on this issue, both in terms of Leunghoching1234567 and of the problem in general? Would WP:AN be an appropriate place to escalate the matter? Alansohn (talk) 09:35, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: I was golfing recenly at Pine Valley and thought of you. Could this be Tyler? --Magnolia677 (talk) 11:44, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, a beautiful course named or a recently defunct municipality; I would have been happy to meet up. I will look through the sock evidence, but at a minimum there is a current editing issue. Thanks for the pointer. Alansohn (talk) 16:11, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Asilvering: I noticed you have been involved with Tyler in the past. Would you have a moment to look at this editor? Please let me know if you would prefer an SPI submission. Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 12:19, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Magnolia677, I think this will need SPI so the evidence can be laid out, and I'd be pretty skeptical to start - this account has been around for three years and nearly 3000 edits, so it would be a real surprise for them to be a TylerKutschbach sock, since you'd think we'd have caught them ages ago. -- asilvering (talk) 05:28, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Asilvering: I just saw a lot of similarity. Thanks for looking into this for me. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:07, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Steinbach Revert

You made a revert about an event not being noteworthy because it had "limited tickets and no promotional advertising". You also asked why would we include this on a city article? To answer your questions. The event had to be kept secret due to threats of violence against two much larger events earlier in the year. Therefore, due to the real threats of political violence, the towns Pride event being kept secret is a pretty significant thing historically. The historical significance is tied to the history of pride events having to be kept secret in the past. This cancellation due to the threats garnered national media attention and is the only story about this town that comes up on media scans from the last year. Perhaps I could have wrote the edit better and would appreciate your advice on how to become a better writer, but the threats of violence are the most significant story, in terms of media attention, in the towns history from the last 5 years. Major events getting canceled due to threats of violence leading to national media attention seem historically relevant to the towns history in my opinion.

If you want to read more about the event to help me improve the section, here are some sources: Source 1: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/steinbach-2slgbtq-pride-9.6953790 / source 2: https://www.thecarillon.com/local/2025/11/03/steinbach-holds-queer-country-fair-in-lieu-of-steinbach-pride / source 3: https://ca.news.yahoo.com/steinbach-pride-march-postponed-safety-143904477.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEsokbggtpls4rRf6FzxtYq_c3xgbhbj3zqBeoJttImnRBURzKcFnJlYYwlLBHQmq2UsyxjyTGuAjAI8BzL_yT2y2Rk8al8Sy_YRqpWt3gOX5UI0XBaXtX1v-is2aLJVKIoWzDiZEA-yLgtqBQbt6FS16cG5GZ5qvTrjetr99s4k / source 4: https://www.steinbachonline.com/articles/local-leaders-condemn-threats-after-steinbach-pride-event-postponed / source 5: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/steinbach-pride-postponed-threats-1.7633415 / Source 6. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/editorials/2025/09/20/a-tale-of-two-different-rallies / Source 7. https://www.brandonsun.com/local/2025/09/14/steinbach-cancels-annual-pride-event (there are more sources but i assume this is enough for you to learn about the historical event)

I hope this answered your questions. If you would be open to giving me advice on how I can be a better writer and contribute better to Wikipedia by writing about this event more effectively, I would be very appreciative. If you still feel this issue has no relevance to the towns history can you please let me know why? Thank you. McCIrishman (talk) 21:05, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@McCIrishman: Please discuss on article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:11, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oberlin

Hi. I reverted your reversion, for the reason explained in my new edit comment. If you really want this quotation to appear, please rewrite the sentence so as to transparently explain that this was a smear by a contemporary newspaper (and that source no longer seems to be viewable, unless I'm mistaken). We should not be throwing in smears, even in quotation marks with a source footnoted, without couching them appropriately: otherwise it gives the appearance of Wikipedia endorsing the epithet. Jcejhay (talk) 22:59, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Jcejhay: Thank you for writing. Please discuss on article talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:12, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Canyon Diablo

Not sure why you are using the revert button. User:Seb az86556 added Kin Łigaaí to the article 15 years ago.[1] I linked to chindi, which appears to be the Navajo way of saying "haunted". This doesn't seem like anything to revert others over, so I'm not clear what the problem is here. Viriditas (talk) 23:53, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't understand what you have against this article, venue, or the people editing it. You seem to have a personal vendetta against it:

  • First, you delete an entire swath of text. You don't even give anyone the grace period of adding the references.
  • Next, when someone reverts your deletion, and suggests using the Citation Needed prompts and tags to allow the article to be edited over time by multiple people, you delete it again, and give the person an overly serious warning.
  • Then, when they spend, what looks like weeks editing everything back in again, with references, you summarily delete half of it again, nullifying all of their work, and leave ambiguous statements that don't accurately describe anything.
    • What is a "A railway Prairie town re-creation"?
      • What does it have?
      • What is the difference between that and the "pre-railway settlement"?
    • What are "Rural occupations"?

Anyone using this article outside of someone from the area is not going to have a clue what is being spoken of, much less have any inclination to visit the park or the website.

Do you have something against using the talk pages to suggest changes or leaving section headers recommending changes?

I’m discussing it here because you are the only one who has an issue with the content and/or the editors, and you yourself have shown no inclination towards using the talk page to discuss article improvements, instead summarily deleting large portions of content without input or opportunity to correct the perceived issues by others and issuing overly serious warnings for minor slipups. ~2025-43332-48 (talk) 16:08, 27 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained content removal

Hello! When removing content, as you did at Nova Scotia, it's important to give a valid reason for the removal. You wrote: 'per Template:Infobox province or territory of Canada', however there is no information in the link that explains why the content should be removed. Then in your revert you said 'please wait for a consensus on the talk page' but it's not clear which talk page you're referring to: Template talk:Infobox province or territory of Canada or Talk:Nova Scotia. I did skim both but didn't see anything that looked relevant. You also wrote 'There is no "first language" parameter' but I wasn't under the misapprehension that there was, so I'm not sure where that came from.

I'd appreciate if you could make a dummy edit giving a valid reason for the removal.

Thanks — W.andrea (talk) 20:38, 29 December 2025 (UTC) edited 20:43[reply]

@W.andrea: Thank you for writing. I thought my edit summary was clear as a mud free river?? There is discussion right here on the article talk page. I'll try to be more explicit going forward. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:55, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That discussion is about the name of Nova Scotia in different languages, not the languages themselves. It does touch on the languages themselves, but never directly addresses them, unless I missed something. — W.andrea (talk) 21:16, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huron, Ohio notable people

I noticed that you had removed two people from the notable people section citing "unsourced content". I'm writing to ask what was done wrong, and how in the future I could avoid whatever it was I did wrong? ProudOhioan1803 (talk) 15:25, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@ProudOhioan1803: Thank you for writing. You added Paul Doyle (baseball) as being from Huron, Ohio, but you didn't add a source to support your edit, and on the Paul Doyle article there is no source supporting that he ever lived there. Just add a reliable source to your edit. See Help:Referencing for beginners. --Magnolia677 (talk) 15:30, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your help. However I just wanted to make sure that if I were to add a reference to the page of the person, would that remedy the issue, or would I have to add it directly to page with the notable people section (although I've never seen that done)?

Regarding Celebration City edits

Hi Magnolia677, thanks for the note. I wanted to clarify regarding my recent edits to the Celebration City page.

I am a local who grew up visiting this park, and I have been trying to expand the article because the current version is a stub that doesn't capture the park's history. I spent time gathering sources and going through the website through Wayback Machine. I made a mistake by including some generic links like the "Ride Entertainment" projects page that didn't verify the specific claims.

I have gone back and manually verified the content. I replaced the generic links with specific, reliable citations from RCDB and Travel Weekly (2003). I also converted the lists into standard tables to match the formatting of verified pages like Silver Dollar City.

I would appreciate it if you could take a look at the revised sourcing. I am just trying to ensure this defunct park is accurately documented. Thank you! Captk2233 (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Captk2233: I checked two of the sources you cited, and neither supported the content. As I said one your talk page, please stop using AI for your edits. If you have specific content issues, please discuss them on the article talk page. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:28, 10 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding reversions, and a thank you

Last July, I made a small edit to Sacramento, CA to remove a factual inaccuracy. Today I noticed that you had reverted it less than 3 hours later, with the summary "not an improvement". Said inaccuracy has since been removed by another editor, and no longer appears on the page.

Initially I was annoyed, but after looking at your contributions I appreciate how quick and ruthless you are on reverting edits for machine-written content, vandalism, bad sources, et c. I see how my edit could easily look like pointless nitpicking to someone working as quickly as you do.

Thank you for all the time and work you volunteer. If you end up in Sacramento for some reason I'd love to get you coffee on the house at my shop. Conkaan (talk) 06:20, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Conkaan: Thanks for writing. Sacramento is a great city, with so many paths next to the rivers. I appreciate the contact. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 11:58, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
