Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Hoodoo (spirituality) has been reverted.
Your edit here to Hoodoo (spirituality) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtYh-L173KU) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Melungeon, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 05:59, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I understand, the sources were from museums and universities and articles from the Smithsonian which I thought were reliable, and I had some books published from Universities like Tennessee University by scholars? I understand the information did not directly discuss the Melungeon people. Where do you think the information should go? The Appalachia article in the folklore section, because the information is about Appalachian folk magic? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachia#Culture)

March 2023

Thank you for your contributions to rapping! Looking at the talk archive, this article is just a great example of editors wanting to bring a POV that is outside the scope of the article. Your edits seem to counter this and stick to the topic. I'd still like to find the time to research/source/remove the sprechgesang topic. In any case, thanks again!

Minor edits

Most of the edits you mark as "minor" are not minor edits. This is one of many examples. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Read Help:Minor edit for more information.

Disambiguation link notification for November 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dreadlocks, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page West Africans. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A cookie for you!

Thank you for your many drive-by sourcings. The external link added on Lost Cause of the Confederacy was quite welcome and as it turns out, timely. BusterD (talk) 23:01, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the cookie Hoodoowoman (talk) 15:11, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your work on Lost Cause of the Confederacy

Hi, Hoodoowoman. I wanted to thank you personally for all the work you've done on Lost Cause of the Confederacy—your contributions have greatly improved the article. I had been bothered by the fact that it was male- and white-centric, but you have done much to correct that imbalance. I salute your dedication. Best, Carlstak (talk) 01:13, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carlstak and thank you. Hoodoowoman (talk) 15:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Echoing Carlstak's warm wishes. If I may offer a suggestion: honor your edit summary pledge not to defend the talk page so thoroughly. Your eyes and effort are better directed, just as you have publicly concluded. Please consider my modest suggestion: I had once offered up the idea of a Frequently Asked Questions box at the top of this talk page. Take this response and the citation and help me craft it into an answer we can post at the top to answer every time this nonsense is posted. BusterD (talk) 18:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sure no problem, sorry about that. What about as a FAQ, Did the South defend slavery? Or did the Southern states secede from the Union because of slavery? or something better worded. The answer to either of those questions is a quote from a primary source from a secession paper stating the South seceded because of slavery. What about the idea of using the citations listed in the response adding the quotes. Or something similar? Hoodoowoman (talk) 17:51, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and a quick request!

Hello Hoodoowoman, and I wanted to personally thank you for your work on Atlantic Slave Trade--to be honest, I have basically ceased paying attention to the article because of your stewardship. On a slightly different topic, I have been talking to a new editor who has an interest in black history, and while I have a little knowledge in the area, I think you have much more. Would you mind if I pointed this editor to you for some ideas of where and how to contribute? Cheers. Dumuzid (talk) 15:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Dumuzid yes I would like to collaborate :-) Hoodoowoman (talk) 19:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like your input on the Simbi page.

Greetings! You recently provided a new main image on the Simbi page, one that doesn't bother me. Another user took issue with the image and a thread was created on the Talk Page. If you would, please provide your input in the thread. Thanks! MiddleOfAfrica (talk) 17:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to African-American folktales, would you be interested in a wikiproject on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 19:49, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kowal2701,

I looked at the article and some sections are lacking in info and sources. How would you like for me to contribute? Hoodoowoman (talk) 19:56, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes ofc feel free, but the wikiproject is on the wider topic of oral tradition, so it includes loads of articles. On oral tradition, I'm planning to write the Methodology section based on Jan Vansina's Oral tradition as history, and do a new section on the nature of oral history. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding oral tradition in other regions, before I added the Africa section it was basically just on religion and the US Kowal2701 (talk) 20:01, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to rewrite anything I've written, what I've put in the Africa section isn't great tbh lol Kowal2701 (talk) 20:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I should've clarified, it's going to be a taskforce/sub project of WP:Anthropology, I've got about 12 people so far plus 5 who are busy but interested Kowal2701 (talk) 20:03, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks for letting me know will add content when I can find good reliable sources, have a nice day :-) Hoodoowoman (talk) 20:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you too :) Kowal2701 (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
