Welcome!

Hello, Legion X, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Uebert Angel, have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can place {{helpme}} on your talk page along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! RexxS (talk) 18:45, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions for biographical articles

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Please use meaningful edit summaries

Hi again, Legion X. Please be careful to always use meaningful edit summaries, so that they're helpful to users browsing the history. Calling this edit "typos" is rather misleading. Bishonen | talk 21:39, 24 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Bishonen, Sorry about it. I was checking for typos and also added few missing references. I should have mentioned it. I will be careful next time. Legion X (talk) 05:29, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Uebert Angel‎

I've reverted your edits at Uebert Angel‎. It's quite possible that in doing that I've removed some useful content, and for that I apologise. Unfortunately that article has been a magnet in the past for followers of Angel to attempt to turn it into a hagiography and remove anything that Angel doesn't want in there. There has been considerable to-and-fro on the topic of his former name, Uebert Mudzanire, which he wishes to be expunged from Wikipedia. That may be related to episodes related to his early life that he wishes to distance himself from.

So it rang alarm bells when I saw that your first edit to the page was to remove "Uebert Mudzanire" from the article. It's clearly sourced and well-discussed, not least on the article talk page at Talk:Uebert Angel #Name change. Can you explain why you chose to remove sourced content in your first edit to the article? --RexxS (talk) 22:17, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RexxS, Thanks for your message. Sorry, i didn't check the talk page earlier. I have been trying to improve the articles which are poorly written. For that i gave efforts here. I noticed you have reverted all the edits. :( While writing, it was also confusing for me. In many sources they addressed him "Uebert Angel", only a few sources called him as "Uebert Mudzanire" and there were some controversial issues, so I thought that might be a propaganda. I apologize and will be careful next time. Legion X (talk) 06:03, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your explanation and for your efforts at that troubled article. I've tried to re-incorporate as much of your changes into the article as I could. Perhaps if you have a chance, you might cast a glance over the article as it now stands to see if I've been able to do that? --RexxS (talk) 15:48, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
