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 I simply wished to update Town Officials information for the Town of Almond, NY, that was very much outdated.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]

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]

Hi, Can you please revert your edits on our page back to the version from Kmateika? She is the head of marketing at the school and we want to keep the page up to date Aseeley1 (talk) 20:38, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aseeley1: Could you please discuss this on the article talk page? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:49, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please check your reversion. I think you reverted my reversion instead of your intended edit. General Ization ^Talk 21:35, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@General Ization: Thanks! Magnolia677 (talk) 21:37, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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]

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]
