Is it possible for you to remove the edit of Grimes pregnancy deformation from Elon Musk's page? He has never stated he was the father. No news articles to confirm this statement validity, or to confirm the source of information. Interstellar20 (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the statement from "Grimes has confirmed that Musk is the father." to "Grimes has stated that Musk is the father." Seems relevant under the family section. I believe Rolling Stone is a credible source. Rolling Stone states she was making the statement from one of Elon's homes, so apparently they still have a relationship. Elon has not denied being the father. Other news organizations such as USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/03/05/grimes-explains-profound-decision-have-baby-elon-musk/4968546002/) have picked up the story. Is there some standard for when and whether to make these types of paternity statements?

Please help me with... Converting a section of a page to a new page.

BACKGROUND I believe it's time for Redwood Materials to have its own page, rather than being a section of the J. B. Straubel wikipedia page.

However, I can find no information on how to convert a section of an existing page to be a new page.

Hi, I'm sure your edit was well-intentioned, but you made a change to the infobox that isn't supported by the cited source. The edit looks OK otherwise. Please could you have another look, and put the infobox right, e.g. by supplying a source that does corroborate the claim? Thanks, Zazpot (talk) 03:18, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Sorry about that! ReferenceMan (talk) 15:10, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, regarding the Model Y article, I added the full price of the other models including the $1200 delivery fee, please let me know why you reverted my previous edit, why don't we want to show the full price? The $1200 delivery fee is not optional, and publications like Car and Driver routinely include the delivery fee in their price information. Thanks!!

Business insider not a great RS according to HAL333. The truth seems to me to be correct your contribution and the use of this reference but according to this user (HAL333) your contributions are not good because of the reference. I'm sorry they don't consider your contributions to Elon Musk's article. --JShark (talk) 03:17, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited A California Christmas, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Note. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hi @ReferenceMan, I saw that you recently edited the Advanced driver-assistance system page and I had a couple of suggestions to add.

In the 'Concept, history and development' section, it could be useful to explain to viewers who the main industry players are - namely Mobileye, Bosch, Continental, and Denso. It is generally understood that Mobileye is leading the market with 70% market share (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertdefrancesco/2023/12/26/mobileye-revs-up-innovation-in-autonomous-driving/?sh=19150c586727).

In addition, the 'ADAS levels' section seems a little outdated and could benefit from the new information added to the Self-driving car page about Mobileye's method of classifying the levels. Presenting the information in a table could also be more beneficial than just one big paragraph of text.

Note - I'm employee of Mobileye and have declared my COI. Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 11:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey ReferenceMan! I saw your edits related to the Department of Government Efficiency and I wanted to see if you had any interest in seeing/working with the documents released by DOGE? Wikisource, one of the other projects from the Wikimedia Foundation, and a sister project to Wikipedia, has a newly-created WikiProject DOGE, which has the goal to transcribe the various documents released by DOGE, so they are easily readable to others and searchable on Google and other search engines.

Wikisource is not Wikipedia, in terms of there is no articles to create. Wikisource is just a place where public-domain/free-to-use texts are transcribed onto. Those can be subsequently linked to a Wikipedia article.

Well, if you are interested in learning about what exactly DOGE releases, feel free to let join the WikiProject over on Wikisource or if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:33, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited to participate in the Destubathon of the Americas, a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:28, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
