Definition

Exactly what is a folk hero ? According to the definition given in article Folk hero kings and emperors like Alexander, Alfred and Genghis were hardly folk heros. If we call them folk heros then we should add hundreds of other kings to the list. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:09, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add Niel Armstrong to this list? I should think that he fits the bill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. Fat Wiki (talk • contribs) 04:48, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could there be a list of real villains in human history?

such as Adolf Hitler, Jack The Ripper... they are also historical figures that should not be forgotten, can the owner of this wikipedia page add that faction list plz? Zenger Lâm (talk) 09:32, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no owner of any wikipedia page. However I think it is time to start putting a source or reference saying that someone is a folk hero. Carptrash (talk) 17:26, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest u change this wikipedia web's name into List of History Heroes/Villains

UwU, yah just that all ! Zenger Lâm (talk) 09:34, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please!

please return the most recent version of this page, because I have contributed and wrote a lot of characters here, I'm sorry, I promise not to arbitrarily edit again, please... Zenger Lâm (talk) 15:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm sorry to have reverted your work. I know it's stressful when you've spent time on something and it gets reverted. The material is still there in the page history (top right, click "View history") so if you want to retrieve any of the text and put it back with sourcing then please do so! But don't put anything back without sourcing.

The issue isn't simply "arbitrarily" editing, nor is it limited to your inappropriate/offensive additions. As I detailed on your talk page, none of your edits were sourced and you removed all of the content and sourcing that was already in the article. This is an article for folk heroes, not random characters.

I've enlisted help from a WikiProject since this article wasn't in top shape prior to this anyway and will be cross posting to a few more for additional help. Blue Edits (talk) 15:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to do this Zenger Lâm (talk) 15:39, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just link it for you.

That said, what this article needs is more sourcing, not more entries. Blue Edits (talk) 15:43, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already know where it is but i don't know how to do Zenger Lâm (talk) 15:50, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also i don't want to keep do it again, it could waste many of my time again Zenger Lâm (talk) 15:53, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have a little awareness. In hijacking an article and stripping it of its references and content you've created a several-hundred-edit mess in the page history so big I had to sort by oldest to get to a stable revision.

If you have questions about editing functions, you can ask them at WP:Treehouse. Blue Edits (talk) 15:56, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe i will do it again at tomorrow... ah shit here we go again... Zenger Lâm (talk) 16:06, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Blue Edit, please restore the version before I joined this page, because I'm very depressed and desperate because all my effort and time has been ruined and I have a request to leave. leave here forever in peace, I am a perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive person, so I wrote a part of the text in but because I don't want to write anymore, if I edit it as it is to satisfy my my perfection (as part of it is written by me, the other part is a mess so it's very annoying to put the two together), so please don't block me as I have once devoted myself to This page, I just want to leave in peace, hope you understand and forgive me, please restore the page to the way it was when I wasn't here so that both sides can satisfy each other's wishes. Thank you... Zenger Lâm (talk) 09:10, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, no. As I've repeated ad infinitum, you are not following policy. ALL of your contributions MUST be verifiable by citing a reliable source. You aren't being forced to edit, but if you're going to edit you have to satisfy Wikipedia's policies, not "your perfection". Blue Edits (talk) 09:27, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

so is it ok for me to edit like this now (like "Ancient" and "Medieval")?

If it's okay then I can continue to develop the same way and not follow my standards...

otherwise i will quit...

What do you think? Zenger Lâm (talk) 10:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pier Gerlofs Donia

I see Pier has been moved into Fictional Characters and was wondering what is needed to prove he wasnt fictional? His current English page seems to contain plenty of sources for a non-fictional character. (As a newbie I'm not sure about undo etiquette) UsPier (talk) 07:34, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
