List of longest living dogs correction

Hello SamWilson989, I wanted to say that the change that I made in that list was because my dog Bolinhas died 3 days ago and as I saw the records she was older then some of them in that list, I was trying to put her in that list because she lived the best time of her life and also me and my family really loved her, I wanted to have something to remember me and my family of her and to leave the mark she let on us in some way in this site, that way I made that change, the only proof I have that she was that old is old pics of her with my family. So if you could and if it was possible for you to put it how it was before I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time KanikLyna :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by KanikLyna (talk • contribs) 18:24, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KanikLyna. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I've always had dogs and it must be awful to lose Bolinhas. Wikipedia has policies that govern what can be added to the site. One of those policies is that information that is added must be verifiable by independent sources. As you describe yourself, it seems unlikely such sources exist for Bolinhas. I am unlikely to go back to that article in the future and so although I have no plans to get involved in specific edits, I can't promise other users won't revert your addition of Bolinhas and unfortunately it's a losing battle for you without anything to verify your claim. I wish you all the best x SamWilson989 (talk) 20:20, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Federighi

Hello,

The edits made to the Craig Federighi page were because if you were to review the citations these are all opinion pieces. Wikipedia is not supposed to be of opinions - that would mean that it was not written in a neutral tense. None of these sources document any type of research on whether Apple has gone down in security or the latter, they're so popular today they have remained the same but people are discussing it more therefore security issues are becoming more accessible. Furthermore, there is no indication in any of these articles that they have actually looked at previous breaches or used the older software and made sure that it was secure or didn't have security issues that were not fixed before stating he "oversaw a marked decline in the quality and security of Apple's software products" Having 10 citations doesn't mean the citations are of quality in nature. It's important that Wikipedia remains true to factual evidence based citations.
