khalid
-- I posted the following paragraph originally on Misconceptions2's page:
- In reading your article Expedition of Khalid ibn al-Walid (Banu Jadhimah), I see that you refer to sources who are later than Ibn Ishaq who also discusses this expedition. In fact, you edited out my contribution to the Khalid ibn al-Walid article where I cited Ibn Ishaq on this battle, replacing it with a modern European source. I wonder, why did you eliminate Ibn Ishaq in favor, on the one hand, of a modern European, and on the other, in favor of later Islamic sources? Neither of these seem to me improvements or even legitimate edits. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 17:29, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
-- Misconceptions2 replied as follows on my own talk page, before eventually deleting my contributions and his or her responses from their own talk page:
- i did not eliminate ibn ishaq, i kept it. muslims dont consider ibn ishaq reliable (but i know thats not the point), so instead of 1 source i added 4 (both muslim and non muslim sources). i consider that an improvement.i also kept the ibn ishaq source
- another reasons is, i dont know what ibn ishaq had to say about this expedition, i didnt read his book, i cant find previews of it on google book, i prefer to use sources which people can verify easily, i.e direct links--Misconceptions2 (talk) 18:02, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
--I responded to the above with the following on Misconceptions2's talk page, also now deleted.
- Regarding sources, please see Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. This does not support your preference for direct links; rather, they support "published" sources, "most commonly associated with text materials, either in traditional printed format or online (emphasis added)." I note that I have also learned something from Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, specifically, "Articles should rely on secondary sources whenever possible." This generally leaves out Ibn Ishaq, whom Wikipedia reports as criticized for unreliability, as you noted; though their assertion is sourced via printed sources unavailable through links, I might add. Nonetheless I added an Ibn Ishaq paragraph to the primary sources section of Expedition of Khalid ibn al-Walid (Banu Jadhimah). I think this is appropriate, given his historical primacy.

--I note that Misconceptions2 has not deleted this contribution to the Expedition of Khalid ibn al-Walid (Banu Jadhimah) article.

Disambiguation link notification for September 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Ellmann, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Posthumously and Epigraphs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

January 2019
Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Dancing in the Street, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:42, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
- Good point! Thanks for the feedback. I fixed this with a couple of sources, one the academic journal Social Text, the other from the WhoSampled Web site.Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 19:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
TheFamousPeople.com as a source
Hi Larrykoen. I noticed that you recently used thefamouspeople.com as a source for biographical information in Twyla Tharp. Please note that there is general consensus that thefamouspeople.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for such information. (Discussions here and here). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
Good point! I put in a better reference.--Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 04:28, 15 February 2019 (UTC)
