Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but this answer to a help desk question is not really helpful. You are suggesting is a WP:REVDEL but I doubt you are really familiar with what, since you suggest to request it on an admin's noticeboard. Also, when you have to write I don’t know if it’s allowed, but I think it is
, it is generally a good indicator that you should not have made the suggestion in the first place.
I would suggest, if you want to continue answering questions on the Help Desk/Teahouse, to strive to wikilink each part of your answers so that (1) people you respond to can read the full guidelines if they want and (2) you can check beforehand what you are about to say.

Similarly your reply at Wikipedia:Help desk#Rugby logo was incorrect. Enthusiasm is admirable, but it is wise for new users to learn a bit more about how Wikipedia works (and where to find the answers) before they try to answer questions. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:01, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
The link to your userpage in your signature is still your former username. While the link isn't "broken", it is better to update that link so that other editors can use the right username when trying to send you a WP:PING. You may do so at your Preferences at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-personal under the "Signature" section. Paste the following into that box: [[User:MelecieDiancie|MelecieDiancie]] <small>[[User talk:MelecieDiancie|talk!]]</small>

John Pierce (musician) is a redirect to Pablo Cruise. As WP:SELFRED clearly states "avoid linking to titles that link straight back to the page on which the link is found". If you look at the page history of John Pierce (musician), you can see that it was redirected to Pablo Cruise due to the lack of independent notability. I'm not trying to disrupt Wikipedia in any way, but I honestly would like to know why we should keep the status quo on the Pablo Cruise article. I don't want to start a WP:WAR. I'm gonna start a discussion at Talk:Pablo Cruise so that we can get consensus about whether or not to retain the WP:SELFREDIRECT links.2601:153:881:3D60:2888:FE7B:1A22:B020 (talk) 08:44, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm ArglebargleIV. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Roman Empire (disambiguation)—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you.

Hi Melecie, I’m not very good at knowing how to edit my profile on Wikipedia. I don’t understand why it keeps going back to whatever it was someone wrote. It’s my life. If you want me to verify, we can message contact details privately and we can zoom and you’ll see it’s me. I don’t know if you work for Wikipedia or i have to verify with someone from Wikipedia but it’s getting tedious trying to edit and re-edit what people think is the truth but it isn’t. Like my citizenship. I am eye rolling. A lot on this issue. Anyway, please let me know how to contact you directly or how I can take this matter up with Wikipedia. Thank you. Lourdes Faberes Anonymous1141 (talk) 19:29, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
This is all very triggering. It’s like having to fight all the battles all over again in order to belong. It’s very disheartening that a person is discouraged from saying the truth about her own life. Every time I try to correct it, you revert it back to telling me what you think I am. I don’t want to talk about it the “talk page”. I just want it to be correct as people use Wiki and it affects many areas of my life. But nobody said the internet was a fair place. This is very saddening. Ah well. Anonymous1141 (talk) 07:27, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
why are you spamming me with some automatic bot-like content on the talk page? having to deal with such automatic content now has the effect that i will less likely make any edits in the future. 95.129.201.254 (talk) 13:24, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you reverted my edits in the Henry A. Wallace article because they look like unexplained removal of text. I’m actually working on consolidating two duplicate sections within the same article that list his own published works in the same article. I didn’t include an explanation because I thought I’d be able to move the text over where I wanted it before anyone noticed it was missing but I guess I was wrong haha.

I have tried to fix the info on my page several times in the last week as I am starting a new job and wanting the info to be correct and each time I do it it reverts to the old false information.
How can I ensure that the edits to my page remain permanently?
Two immediate changes are important. Both Personal Life and Filmography sections are false. Can you please delete them.
Also, a number of the Basic Info about me, where I studied and Film Career, are false. How can I make permanent changes? Even my picture is not me.
I want my page to be accurate, please.
Thanks very much.

Thank you for your message. After doing some research, I believe the original information on KJB was wrong.
There were 2 Kenneth James Boswells living in NZ around the same time. The original article had KB's DoB and DoD as 1912-1984, whereas my research has him as 1910-1971. I base this on the Electoral Roll evidence (found on Ancestry.com):
KJB 1912-84
Appears in the Electoral Rolls of 1954, 57, 63, 69, 72, 78 and 81 as single and living in North Shore, Auckland.
KJB 1910-71
Appears in the ERs of 1935, 38, 46 and 49 as single and living with his parents David and Mary in Petone or Hutt (Wellington). In the WW2 Ballot List of 1941, he is at the same address as listed in the 35 and 38 ERs. In the ERs of 1957, 63 and 69 he is married to Doris (nee Mullaney) and living in Heretaunga, Miramar and Karori (all in Wellington). There is a Death record for him on NZ's BDM in 1971 and, while I cannot find a grave record, he does not appear in later ERs. (Doris is living by herself in 1972, 78 and 81 ERs.)
The only digital evidence is from the ERs on Ancestry, but if I can't use Ancestry as a source, how do I provide verification? Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you

verifications for someone like Boswell would come with reliable news sources and features. for example, Michael Jordan's main source in the first biography paragraph is provided by the Chicago Tribune. I advise you to look for news features, biographies, and interviews to support the claims instead of ancestry (which is occasionally a valid primary source), which quoted from WP:Biographies of living persons#Avoid misuse of primary sources, Do not use public records that include personal details, such as date of birth, home value, traffic citations, vehicle registrations, and home or business addresses." • | melecie | t 05:18, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

I removed content because it was construed in a false and defamatory manner. I have now revised again this page, this time not removing the content but revising the false information out of it. and adding that the restraining order was ex parte which means on the so-called victim's sayso. I took out the part that said "He threatened her with violence" because the link is dead and it was a from a Cuban propaganda source. The Cuban government is trying to discredit the subject because he openly opposes their government and the link was bad. In addition, I added that the so-called victim failed to even show at the actual injunction hearing and that the injunction was dismissed. And cited the source.

hi melecie, myself is raj, Actually i added a link of Textile institute to panipat. Why this is important ? If you will search why panipat is famous these days then you will find that it is famous for its textile industry. at present IPTT is the number one institute and provides education on very low fee to the students. when a person completes the high cost educations still strugle for jobs, then IPTT where students comes from differnt districts, makes them able to get goods salary jobs. So if you are writing about panipat then it is incomplete without mention of Institute of Professional Textile Training (IPTT).
you mentioned other highly expensive collages names like piet or nc those students never gets jobs even after paying lot of lots amount and the most the number one institute you dont wants to add.

Hi! I am pretty new to wikipedia editing so wondered if would mind explaining the comment regarding your removal of the recent edit I made (this is not meant to be an attack, I am genuinely curious and trying to learn). The comment references 'self-published' source- does that relate to link to the website? Or is that the book discussed (which being published by an academic publisher, does that count as self-published?). Being that there are not many people who research on the topic the page is about, what is the best way to talk about my own work without it being removed? I was still planning to continue updating the page with a range of other scholar's work (as I have already done) but would also like to include my own.

Dear Melecie,
The Dutch version of French toast is called Wentelteefje(s). See also the Dutch Wikipedia page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wentelteefje
When translating the first part of the text, by using Google translate, you will be referred to French toast:
"....French toast, also lost bread or gained bread, is a sweet bread dish. It is popular for breakfast in much of Europe and North America. Slices of bread are soaked briefly in a mixture of milk and eggs and then baked. Finally, the baking is sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon if desired....."
If you would literally translate the name wentelteefje(s) you get a description that isn't even allowed on Wikipedia..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.166.6.202 (talk) 08:01, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Melecie, looking at Everton F.C. talk history i noted that you are one of the authorized author's for the article.

In 1964, Anastasios J. Vasilatos conceived of a 2-way wireless communication system for his Master's Thesis, as a graduate student at the Illinois Institute of Technology, to fulfill his Masters Degree in Product Design.
The title of this thesis was “The Citizens’ Two-Way Telecom Network". The subject of this book is ‘Text Messaging’ conceived in 1964 and completed in 1970.[4]
Vasilatos’s system laid out the concept of text messaging using the FM wireless radio bandwidth to transmit and receive alphanumeric characters and/or symbols. An Electronic Switching System is one of many components used within the network to support the transmission and receiving of coded messages over the FM radio bandwidth between relay stations (Cell towers), located in positions to cover a 5 mile radius, overlapping one another to prevent gaps in signal performance.
The code used in this system provides the use of all letters in the English alphabet, all ten numbers, a space and four symbols. The hardware used for keying in, and receiving display information was designed utilizing 1964 technology.
The research, design and development of this network system took 6 years, and was completed in 1970.
A hard bound copy of this 228 page book on text messaging, is contained in the Smithsonian Institution, under call number: TK6553.V33 1970a.[5]

The explanation for the revision removal states: "Thanks, but this is based on primary sources, we would need secondary sources".
What would other Wikipedia editors constitute as a "secondary source" as legitimate as primary sources World Cat, the Smithsonian Institution and or the Google Book review itself that references a summary of the thesis?

In regards to Secondary Sources, Wikipedia defines a secondary source as::
"A book review that contains the judgment of the reviewer about the book is a primary source for the reviewer's opinion, and a secondary source for the contents of the book.[16][17] A summary of the book within a review is a secondary source."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_source
The Google Books review at::
Specifically states::
"User Review - The subject of this book is ‘Text Messaging’ conceived in 1964 and completed in 1970."
How is that not considered relevant as a secondary source as defined by Wikipedia itself as a 'summary book review"?
Can you please clarify and if you can provide guidance as to what else supports the historical revision so that this thesis work providing the foundational research for text messaging can be reflected and credited accurately.
Thank you.
