Please retake that picture: it's very difficult to make out anything in the medals. —C.Fred (talk) 00:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On it @C.Fred Tokeamour (talk) 01:00, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Im enhancing it to increase the quality so its taking a bit. Tokeamour (talk) 01:16, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know if it looks better now if not I'll go on Adobe to fix it. Tokeamour (talk) 01:34, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Don't fix it with Adobe; retake the picture. —C.Fred (talk) 01:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred I found one that is larger but there is only like one image for the medals for all the websites currently looked at so I might as well change them when I come up on a smaller one this one is of best quality though. Tokeamour (talk) 02:00, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hold up. You claimed the image as your own work. Did you take the photograph yourself, or did you scrape the image from a website? —C.Fred (talk) 04:46, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I screenshot the image and then I ran filters on it using an application manually, I totally forgot to add the author as I was busy answering emails. Tokeamour (talk) 05:22, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ill go delete them and add a author Tokeamour (talk) 05:23, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred I think its all good now if this layout is good I'll go through with it. Tokeamour (talk) 02:21, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred Note: This means they will be custom, but I have graphic design experience. Tokeamour (talk) 01:38, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Naval Sea Cadet Medal.png--- on it I have this one done Tokeamour (talk) 01:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How'd you get access to the medal, btw? —C.Fred (talk) 04:46, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred I'm totally sorry lol check my messages earlier for the explanation. Tokeamour (talk) 05:24, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Im going to give attribution to the original person but delete them and then re upload it under the original creators rights. Tokeamour (talk) 05:30, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred ok I'm almost done giving the right credit to the first one Tokeamour (talk) 05:40, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I realized you cant delete them but that means I can give them credit and keep them uhm you totally saved my life. Tokeamour (talk) 05:42, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And I've just flagged both images for deletion as copyright violations, since they came from a website with an all-rights-reserved license. —C.Fred (talk) 13:34, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

as they should be. Tokeamour (talk) 18:53, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

wait you can let me see Tokeamour (talk) 05:45, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

im working with support. Tokeamour (talk) 05:55, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred Its 100% fixed. Tokeamour (talk) 06:09, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Im going to sign off for today so I'm well rested as well as don't make such a terrible mistake as in multi-tasking. Tokeamour (talk) 06:14, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also want to mention that my action is irresponsible whether or not I'm multi tasking and is not something that I encourage doing. Tokeamour (talk) 06:23, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also want to mention that my action is irresponsible… I'll skip the templated warning then; if you keep making messages that require a lot of cleanup, like with misuse of bold and italics per WP:Manual of Style, your editing privileges will get restricted until you demonstrate that you can make good edits and otherwise contribute responsibly. —C.Fred (talk) 13:14, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred Look man, I will take an editing course I think that would be good for me. I'm sure there's some online. Tokeamour (talk) 18:36, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want to jeopardise any editor on any page and I think that's a good start I will also leave it to someone else with more experience then me. Tokeamour (talk) 18:47, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As of now I think my best role is writing in the empty areas and righting new information but nothing else that would probably help you and others when they edit the article I might be giving you a hard time saying this but I'm a new User but I need to learn a lot of things and I'm risking my account doing stuff without looking at the rules about the edit I'm doing. Tokeamour (talk) 19:04, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred Think its ready for peer review but I am doing my final checks if you want to put any input on it before I do than that would be a good idea as I believe it is ready to be upgraded to B on the grading scale. Tokeamour (talk) 09:50, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Never cite Wikipedia as a source

Wikipedia is not a reliable source. If there is a source in a Wikipedia article that supports information in another article, that citation can be used in both, but the Wikipedia article itself is not a reliable source. I've removed the cites that you added. Schazjmd (talk) 15:04, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was intending on removing them that same day I guess you got there before I could! Tokeamour (talk) 09:48, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Homeless veterans in the United States

In this edit, you misrepresented sources.

This source does not say that Around thirteen percent of the overall homeless population in the US are veterans. The projected total of homeless veterans in the country is 40,056. It says that in its one-night snapshot, just under 7% of homeless were veterans, and the figure 40,056 does not occur in that document.
The next source you cited is 404.
This source does not support The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, which launched in the early nineties, and the emergence of new jobs in that same decade; are both solely responsible for this.
The next source you cited is 404.
In subsequent edits, you added extensive overlinking.

I've restored the version of the article before you began editing it. The lead in the article needs improvement, but your edits were not improvements, introducing errors and useless sources. If you want to improve the lead, please expand its summary of the body of the article. Schazjmd (talk) 14:07, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, I'll respect your wishes. Tokeamour (talk) 00:16, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

July 2025

Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. EducatedRedneck (talk) 01:51, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EducatedRedneck I will do so I apologize for such the late reply I hope you receive this, I will be going horse riding for 5 days in the Rockies so I wont have internet I'm going to get as much done as I can today and tomorrow but I will try but I could use assistance if you would be interested. Tokeamour (talk) 00:57, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First, I hope you have an excellent ride! In Wikipedia, there are WP:NODEADLINES, so there's no rush. I suggest you just prepare for, then enjoy your long ride. When you get back, if anything is giving you trouble, feel free to ping me as you've done here, and I'll do my best to help. Happy riding! EducatedRedneck (talk) 01:06, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks! Tokeamour (talk) 01:10, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
