User talk:LoveFerguson: Difference between revisions

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. May I ask if you have edited Wikipedia before, and if so, under what user name? Cheers, Huldra (talk) 22:58, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have read articles in Wikipedia for a long time, but I started to edit recently. Thanks for asking.--LoveFerguson (talk) 00:15, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, I wish you would spend more time cycling; much more of a rewarding hobby, isn´t it? Huldra (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NoCal. nableezy - 18:06, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The source you restored, "Why does Israel supply Gaza with electricity and cement?", is an opinion piece, not a news article. Per WP:NEWSORG, a section of Wikipedia's guideline concerning reliable sources, opinion pieces are not considered reliable sources for statements of fact.

The source you added, "Guide: Gaza under blockade", does not support the information in the sentence you restored. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:09, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"http://www.newyorklawjournal.com/default-search-page-layout" is not a journal reference but just a search page, and searching for "Hillel Neuer" there gets no hits. How can you explain your edit summary? In fact this "reference" was simply lifted from the UN Watch web page. Zero^talk 10:05, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the source--LoveFerguson (talk) 10:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even look at that before you copy-pasted the URL? Where can I find the New York Law Journal mentioned on that page? By the way, that's not a reliable source anyway. It's a bio for a conference talk either supplied by the speaker or abstracted from the UN Watch page. Zero^talk 10:28, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
