Carnegie Classifications Sources

Hello C. Fred,

I just got a note that my suggested edit to the Carnegie Classifications page didn't include a reliable source, and I'd like to know more about what you're looking for there. I cited seven links to different publications and announcements about the latest changes made to the system, including links to Inside Higher Ed, Higher Ed Dive, and Forbes, all of which are legitimate news sources with no inherent bias. Thank you in advance for any guidance you can provide! KLearyBeClear (talk) 16:48, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

@KLearyBeClear There were no references when I looked at your version. —C.Fred (talk) 18:41, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. That is strange. I just resubmitted by edit with the citations again. Do you mind letting me know if you can see them now? Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education KLearyBeClear (talk) 19:26, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

@KLearyBeClear They're showing now. —C.Fred (talk) 20:28, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Wonderful, thank you. Please let me know if you have any other feedback or suggestions. Appreciate it! KLearyBeClear (talk) 20:29, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Assistance requested

Hello C.Fred. I am the Chief of Staff at AMVETS National HQ. I was wondering if you could help us update our wiki page? Pepperstoast (talk) 17:41, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

@Pepperstoast You'll need to make a request on the article's talk page. The {{Edit COI}} template is available for that purpose. Make sure to provide independent reliable sources to support the changes. —C.Fred (talk) 22:37, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

"As You Lie There" notability question

Hey, what would make "As You Lie There" deserving of an article? Newtatoryd222 (talk) 16:46, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Repeated removal of sourced content

Beatrack was removing sourced content from many different articles and you warned him against edit warring and he even self-reverted his edit at the Slavery in 21st-century jihadism article after you told him to after a report was filed by Plasticwonder at an Administrators noticeboard, but he is still removing sourced content. When I told him that, "You should read WP:IDONTLIKEIT - you can't object to adding sourced content simply because you don't like it.", he posts this reply showing that he will continue to remove sourced content if he dislikes it. You ought to block him or at least warn him not to remove sourced content. I am at my wits end trying to explain; he is just not getting it.-~2026-39629-36 (talk) 00:38, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

This is enough. I have blocked the temporary account for a week of peace now. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 10:00, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
