Chinese inventions

Hi Halpo and welcome to Wikipedia,

You definitely have some valid points there, especially regarding redundancy and repetition. My main concern is that the deleted information is not repeated per se. A better approach, I believe, is to consolidate all the scattered non-Chinese-related into a few sentences either at the end or at the beginning of the paragraph rather than have them all over the place. What do you think?

Looks perfect. Nicely done.

Thanks! Cheers, Λuα ^{(Operibus anteire)} 16:08, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Prehistoric warfare

If you read the source cited, it discusses only tribal societies in the present day (i.e. roughly, the Iron Age). I can move it to its own "Modern Age" section if you prefer. Wolfdog (talk) 23:47, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, the reason I inserted the deliberate phrase "modern-day" is because this is, after all, an article on prehistoric warfare and I'm trying to avoid easy confusion. The entire section "Endemic Warfare" in fact seems irrelevant to this article. Wolfdog (talk) 23:52, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right. That's why I said "roughly" and offered the "Modern Age" alternative. In either case, what do you think of the fact that "Endemic Warfare" has its own page yet still has its own section included on the "Prehistoric warfare" page. The sources listed point to modern tribes, not prehistoric ones. I was willing to incorporate endemic warfare issues into a section on the modern age, but otherwise it doesn't seem to fit for this article at all. 20:26, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

I see the section on the talk page, and I'll comment on it. When you say that "the warring societies themselves were not historical," do you mean "the warring societies themselves had not developed a system of written history"? That seems to me a very unusual (and maybe problematic) way to use the term "historical." I think most of the Wikipedia audience would not consider any societies existing today to be "prehistoric" as implied by your sense of the word "historical." I'm mostly talking about the wording here. A "prehistoric society" most widely means "a society existing before the advent of societies with writing systems," but using it to mean "a society that has not yet invented a writing system" seems unfairly presumptive, as if all societies like this will inevitably "advance" into a society with a writing system, which would be a clear sign of our own cultural bias. If this is the definition you're using and the bias were false, then we wouldn't even say "prehistoric(al)"; instead, we'd just neutrally say "non-historical." The word "prehistoric" used all throughout this article, according to your writing system-based definition of "historical" (if I've got that right), specifically implies "before writing has arisen in any given society itself." Wolfdog (talk) 01:10, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see what you mean. I just figured that endemic warfare would already be included in each Age section anyway. Wolfdog (talk) 22:09, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyediting needs sources

Hi, 1Halpo1,

I see you just did an edit you characterized as "trimming" in your edit summary, but I saw that it introduced a factual error, so I reverted it. I have found as a member of the Guild of Copy Editors here on Wikipedia that many attempts to copyedit articles without sources at hand can introduce subtle errors, unless the copy editor has reliable sources about the article topic at hand while editing. Thanks for your efforts to tidy up articles. See you on the wiki. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 16:38, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

November 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Anarchism. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Liberalism sidebar - change from Libertarianism to Right-libertarianism

In the spirit of WP:BRD, one your bold change was reverted you should not have undone the revert, but opened a discussion about your proposed change on the talk page. I have restored the status quo, and have opened the discussion at Template_talk:Liberalism_sidebar#Libertarianism_or_Right-libertarianism, please contribute there. DuncanHill (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, you need to wait. The discussion has only been open less than a day. Please revert yourself. DuncanHill (talk) 16:05, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

January 2022

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 04:24, 30 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
