likely to have a source or two that one could also easily find, then the act of basically telling the original editor to do what you could also easily do can seem rather petty to newcomers, who are usually the sorts of editors to be asked to cite their sources. I've seen edits that were purely of a technical nature, devoid of any actual content, and maybe useful editors put a note on that user's talk page, and maybe there's something to be said for attracting users whose ability to edit and receive positive or negative feedback on their editing is of a high standard, but I don't know. All I know is there's a few things that bother me about
Knowledge (XXG) and one of them is the inability of a lot of editors to understand a newcomer's point of view; they end up seeming like the encyclopedic version of a 'grammar nazi' more than anything else.

this resource but not improve it. The statements below are no reflection on you; I don't know you, and they aren't meant to express any sort of ill will about your actions. I just got derailed from the editing experience before I could really get into it, and never said anything to any other editor about it, really. I hope that before you delete this, as it appears to be rather inappropriate for a talk page, according to what little I read in the talk page guidelines, that you maybe take something from it--hell, maybe not even what I intend you to take from it, but take something--and maybe do something to help the next newcomer who may become discouraged.
79:
see an article that is decently written filled with 'citation needed' notes over and over again; while I understand that such edits underscore the importance of a well-sourced article, sometimes it just comes across like... petty, and cold. It makes it seem like the editor who does that doesn't care about the article itself, or the topic, just that the newcomer conform to
Knowledge (XXG)'s standards, and for some reason I get the feeling that in the end, the vast majority of time a newcomer chooses to make their first edits, it's because they care about
118:
discretion, and I responded to the person who suspended me and requested I change my username. They never really responded, and I didn't feel like reading 40 articles on how to resolve various disputes to be treated in a judicious manner. It felt petty and off-putting in the same way I've described above. So I didn't bother with the whole idea of trying to make
Knowledge (XXG) better anymore. For the most part, Knowledge (XXG) exists in a read-only mode to me now.

no longer politically neutral. I feel it sometimes drifts beyond
Brisbane punk rock scope and would prefer more of a focus on the bands and less on the politics, as originally suggested by you. There is no doubt Shaidar cuebiyar is correct that there is a lot of evidence about the political situation like I had originally contended, but now I would like to know your thoughts with regards to neutrality.

My reference to international notability was in response to the possible suggestion that the coordination exhibited made these protests noteworthy, moving the focus off their individual notability.

Anyway, I guess I'm a hypocrite because I haven't bothered to register (actually, I've registered twice--I don't bother to log in anymore. See below). So I too am guilty of lacking a full commitment to making

As for why I don't log in anymore, I originally registered with one username, some time ago, and after a while I decided I wanted to use another username; a username I use more often on other sites, and which was the same as a domain I owned for several years before I let it lapse recently because I

I get that the editor should of the article should be more thoughtful in editing the article; failing to cite, especially with the use of so-called "weasel words", is somewhat lazy or the mark of a poor editor, but I think that simply making a 'citation needed' edit is also the hallmark of a poor or

Of course, there are tons of terrible articles on
Knowledge (XXG), and tons of good ones, and I don't know much about the inner workings or the site and what sort of approach works best for dealing with newcomers, so perhaps I'm off base here. All I'm saying is that it occasionally turns me off to

Why have you decided to put up all the articles for deletion? What do you mean they have not recieved international notability? There are many articles on
Knowledge (XXG) that have international notability, such as films in certain countries, events, people and many others. Why would you consider

thing to say while writing all this stuff on your talk page, stuff that probably mostly doesn't belong here, but again, I don't plan at this moment to be part of the

While I understand that part of becoming a good editor is having one's revisions flagged and marked in such a manner to facilitate improvement in one's editing, I think some discretion should be used. If you flag for citation an item like the one that led to this conversation, which is probably
