Hi. Would you please use the true destination url rather than a site url that gets redirected, eg. use onthisday.com/events/date/1798 rather than www.historyorb.com/events/date/1799. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:08, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a web host
Hello, I have deleted some of your content from userspace relating to the fictional election of 2036 (and many others). Wikipedia is a project attempting to categorize, describe, and explain the world, and is not an appropriate place for you to use as a free webhosting service for your own fictional content. If you have any questions about this, feel free to drop a note on my Talk page. (ESkog)(Talk) 18:43, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Re: Deleted pages
Hello, I'm sorry I haven't had time to get back to you regarding your request. Your best bet will be to go to Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion where there are users who have different tools that will enable them to handle your deleted pages more efficiently than I would be able to. Thanks for your understanding. (ESkog)(Talk) 19:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

How is historyorb.com authoritative?
You have been adding "historyorb.com" which redirects to "onthisday.com" and citing it as a reference for ages. I challenge that the site meets the criteria as set within Wikipedia:Reliable sources and I also think that accordingly that it fails Wikipedia:External links. I ask that you stop adding it as a reference. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:49, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- If I recall correctly, you had placed a message on my user page months earlier, indicating your concern with how the usage of historyorb.com as a reference on the timeline pages was problematic, given its redirect to OnThisDay.com. However, I had gotten the impression that the reference only needed to be fixed: that is, that the format used for it should be changed. And no objection was raised at that time to actually using the website as a source. I was not the first user to do so; it was used as a reference on other articles. What is the issue with it now? How is it in violation of Wikipedia sourcing policies? Thank you. --The Empire of History (talk) 23:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- It is not a reliable source. No citations, no credible evidence of factual certainty.
By reference to WP:RS linked above, please explain to me how and why linking and referring to that site meets the requirements of a reliable source. I understand others have done it, and I think that it is all incorrect, and none of that referencing to those pages should exist. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:23, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not the one who originally used the source, and I had made the assumption that, given that it was provided in a list of references, that it was a valid source. But if it is not a proper source, then I agree that others should be found to replace it. --The Empire of History (talk) 03:41, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
