Thanks for your contributions to Amenotokotachi. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 23:40, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, hope you'll help fix it also. Doug Weller talk 15:33, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Weller Sorry, I just keep noticing cases where the page numbers are not being cited.

I also don’t really have the time to read through everything to make sure the claim aligns with the source. I have my own drafts to work on, I want to get them done before the school year starts.

I probably should have worded by edit summary different, it probably did come off as rude.CycoMa2 (talk) 15:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CycoMa2 Ok, I'll live long enough to fix them I'm sure, not a joke. Doug Weller talk 16:01, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will figure something out. I know many of the sources in the article can be found at Ellis Library, I might spend a day there and read through the sources. I used to spend an entire day in that library finding sources for the wiki when I was a freshman and a sophomore. I also have access to many online sources since like 2022.CycoMa2 (talk) 16:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a little update to this comment. School started. I believe I can handle this issue before the end of the week. But, I can't make promises I have a lot to do.CycoMa2 (talk) 17:51, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Notcharizard which references specifically do you have issues with?CycoMa2 (talk) 01:00, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t have a problem with any specific references, I did not go through them all :) My comment was about the items that are under “bibliography” (rather than “references”), and how it is unclear how those items have contributed to the article. It is okay to have general references, but in-text citations are preferred as the bibliography doesn’t really add anything useful to the article. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After having another look, I can see that the items in the bibliography are the same items as in the in text references, but they are only formatted in the bibliography.

I suggest using Template:Cite book or the citation tool in the visual editor to format the book citations the same way as you have done with the websites, then they’re not doubled up :) -- NotCharizard ^🗨 02:49, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Common language for College Scorecard data

If you're going to add information from College Scorecard to articles, it's probably a good idea to develop common language that can be used across all articles. That would save us all a lot of time if information from the same source is going to be included in multiple articles. I'd be happy to collaborate on this.

Very little activity

I won’t be able to active for a while.

I am taking like 7 courses this semester and I’m trying to network more as well this semester.

To be honest I’m desperate to do well after college.

I’m gonna graduate in 2025. So I’m almost done. To be honest, I’m a little scared and excited. I’m about to enter real adulthood soon. Wish me luck.CycoMa2 (talk) 09:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About the disclaimer

As I have said many times many of my sources are from the University of Missouri (also called Mizzou). I get many of my books from Ellis Library.

However, there are many other institutions and colleges in the area I am going to school at.(Let’s just say Columbia, Missouri is very well known for its education.)

I do from time to time get by sources from these other institutions.

Also I have been taught from people from various backgrounds at my university.

There is a reason I did feel like I needed that for numerous reasons I failed to mention in my edit summary.

First, all these institutions have their own affiliations, goals, and missions.

Mizzou for example in my opinion is pretty balanced in its political affiliation (although it’s a bit more left leaning.) For example, at the Homecoming parade for Mizzou there were parade floats for the LGBT community and a parade floats for right leaning politicians.

I did get some sources from a local community college as well. It was left leaning almost every way.

I obviously can’t get my sources from Stephen’s College since it’s a girls only college.

Some of the institutions in my area are religious based (only about 2). I haven’t gotten any sources from those to be honest. CycoMa2 (talk) 10:11, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about some typing mistakes. Tried to do an all nighter, didn’t work lol.

Feel asleep at 5 am and woke up at 10 am. Luckily I don’t have classes in the morning on this day.CycoMa2 (talk) 17:00, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About the politics of Mizzou, there are lots of students holding up signs on issues such as Palestine. There are also communist signs around campus.

There are also a lot of churches and students going around promoting their churches here. There are also definitely republican groups here.

There is also this.

Here is the voting map of Missouri. Boone County, (the county my university is in) voted Democrat.

(Just to clarify I don’t know if I classify as anti-communist or an anti-socialist. But I’m definitely against authoritarian regimes like China or the Soviet Union.)

(Another thing to mention, yes I’m aware not a Christian denominations are right winged. I’m a non-denominational Christian and I don’t lean either way.)

Just thought I should provide more info and sources about politics here on campus.CycoMa2 (talk) 14:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Busy as hell

Just giving y’all a follow up on why I’m editing too much.

I’m busy as hell.

I’m in my early twenties attending 2 universities and taking so many classes this semester and next semester.

Pursuing my bachelors, trying to get a second associates degree, and trying to get a online certification.

I’ve joined so many clubs, to help me network.

Trying to get on the dean’s list again.
