This sound too hagiographic, as usual. Graywalls (talk) 23:49, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Melcous and Netherzone:, I can't specifically remember, but isn't "A Tribute to Yesterday: The History of Carmel, Carmel Valley, Big Sur, Point Lobos, Carmelite Monastery, and Los Burros" one of the sources for which one of you had some kind of sourcing related concerns? Graywalls (talk) 03:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Graywalls, I can't remember, there have been so many problems with sourcing on these articles, it's hard to keep track. I just reviewed (declined) a new draft and this draft, filled with citation errors. If another editor had reviewed it without actually checking the sources which is part of the process, it could have made it to main space because it "looked good" on the surface. Then there would be another flock of edit requests to deal with. Netherzone (talk) 18:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comments:
  • The book A Tribute to Yesterday is a reliable source. I have not heard anyone dispute it.
  • The comment "too hagiographic" does not help. What specially needs to change inorder for the edit request to be successful?
  • The rest of the comments by Netherzone have nothing to do with this edit request. It is talking about a different article than Los Laureles Lodge.
  • This edit request is still OPEN. Please review and accept/reject.

Regarding edit request response times, Please be patient: it can take anywhere from a day to several months for an edit request to be acted upon. If you want more editors willing to respond to your request, try heeding advice on how to properly make the requests..
Please be patient with the volunteer team, currently there is a backlog of 116 COI edit requests, 45 semi-protected edit requests, 7 partial block request, and 39 extended requests. That is over 200 requests in the queue. Volunteers do not have to fulfill requests on your timeline. There currently is not a consensus to fulfill this one. Netherzone (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Greghenderson2006, I don't have the time or inclination to go through all of the relevant issues, but addressing just the first bullet point: A vague evidence-less assertion from one individual editor that the book is reliable does nothing to establish reliability, and the claim that you have not heard anyone dispute it similarly does nothing to establish reliability. If the reliability of a source has been challenged or questioned in good faith for any reason, then the WP:BURDEN is 100% on you to prove its compliance with WP:V policy and WP:RS criteria by furnishing concrete evidence, or else the edit request can and should be declined on procedural grounds.

Left guide, thanks for your comments. Here are a few WP:BURDEN cases that show compliance with WP guidelines:

@Antrotherkus, please read the discussion above. There is not consensus at this time to make this change. Please be more careful when answering edit requests. Thank you. Netherzone (talk) 01:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request - Fix citations

[edit]
  • Please update the following two sentences under the History section for (a) citation needed, and (b) failed verification: "The Los Laureles Lodge got its beginnings as part of Rancho Los Laureles,[citation needed] the 6,625-acre (26.81 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California given in 1839 by Governor Juan Alvarado to José Manuel Boronda and Vicente Blas Martínez. Rancho Los Laureles passed through several owners before being sold to Nathan Weston Spaulding (1829–1903) in 1874.[failed verification]"
  • Here is the NEW text and supporting citations as requested: "The Los Laureles Lodge got its beginnings as once part of Rancho Los Laureles,[1]: p196  the 6,624-acre (26.81 km2) Mexican land grant in present-day Monterey County, California given in 1839 by Governor Juan Alvarado to José Manuel Boronda and Vicente Blas Martínez. Rancho Los Laureles passed through several owners before being sold to Nathan Weston Spaulding (1829–1903) in 1860.[2]: 110–111 

Note: citations for these two sources are already in the main body of the article. I've just added there reference with page numbers.

 Not done @Greghenderson2006, what are the citations? I know you said that it's already in the article, but you didn't list what citations. Could I get a last name or a title of the sources and not just a number as the number can change at anytime? Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Cowboygilbert: Thanks for your comment. I've added the full citations to the above edit request so that you have the information about these sources. Greg Henderson (talk) 18:41, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 – since the article was redirected for failing WP:NBUILDING. Left guide (talk) 23:05, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the notification. I noticed that Greg was site blocked, which is sad in itself but the community decides. I wish I had participated in the discussion, I don’t follow most ANI discussions but I have worked with Greg before. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 01:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
