Seriously though, thank you for making edits on Wikipedia for the first time (as you mentioned here [1]. Although I personally did not disagree with your edits, the IP user seems to disagree with your edits. Know that this is normal. I will help you navigate through resolving this dispute. From what I see though, you have added relevant information and added references to an article that completely lacked references before. Honestly, thank you for contributing. Feel free to message me on my talk page if you have any questions, concerns, or need advice. --JustBerry (talk) 01:27, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Your whole "Talk" and "Talkback" system just leads me in circles, Just Berry. I have no confidence you will EVER SEE THIS, but thank you for your response. However, it helps me not at all. How do I resolve the dispute. First of all, the opening sentence in this article is WRONG. Cienegas are not "springs" at all. Secondly, the title should be changed to have an accent over the first "e," etc. etc. The article and references that I have to put in its place is long and well sourced by authorities on Cienegas! Please help. I have no idea what to do from here. Thank you. Editorsproof (talk) 12:16, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Alas, I've seen your message. Thank you for leaving a message on my talk page. See my reply to your message on my talk page, and if that still confuses you, then please reach out with any questions you may have (but if you reply on this talk page and want to ensure I see it, using the ping template would be helpful). To answer your question of "how to resolve the dispute," since the IP user may not be active in the future (because their IP switches), and since you've made a new introduction, I'll go to the user's talk page and let them know. If they disagree or have any questions, they are expected to engage in conversation in return (rather than reverting again). For the title, the title with an accent seems to be a Spanish, rather than an English, word. However, it may be plausible that if the wetland system is specific to the American Southwest, the term has an accent. Can you please provide a reference (or set of well-known references) in which cinegas are referred to as cinégas to back up your claim here? If you have references, make sure to put inline citations to add verifiability to your work. Also, you can always use any page in your userspace as a sandbox (for example, this page in your userspace, which has not yet been created to work your writing, add sourcing, and then replace the text in the original article (it's often best if you do this for the introduction only, then replace the introduction, etc., as Wikipedia is a fluid piece of work where other people to edit things live). It's often best to see what changes have been made to, for example in this case, the introduction since your "borrowing to your sandbox" to ensure others' edits are not unnecessarily discarded, i.e. you can see which edits seem relevant and include them in your own. Let me know if you have any further questions. I hope this helped clarify things somewhat. P.S. You can click on some of the Wikipedia page links I've embedded throughout this message to read more on those particular topics/subjects. --JustBerry (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- As another note, if few cienegas can be described as you have in the first sentence of the introduction, can you replace that first sentence with a sentence with how most cinegas can be described now and then include a follow up with how pre-historic cienegas would be characterized? --JustBerry (talk) 13:34, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- Also, I've just bolded the first word in the article and added hyperlinks to the introduction of the article. --JustBerry (talk) 13:51, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
