Reminder about edit summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page.

Plains zebra

Hello Mukogodo. I'm wondering why you deleted the descriptions of two instances of aggressive interaction between plains zebras and wildebeest from Plains_Zebra#Interactions_with_other_grazers. Unless you feel strongly that they have to go, I would like to restore them, but still keeping the sentence you added ("However, aggressive interactions occasionally occur.") as this is helpful. Would you have any objection to my doing this? --Stfg (talk) 11:09, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thianks for your reply on my talk page. You make a good point about undue weight. I will leave it as you have made it. --Stfg (talk) 10:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jackal Buzzard

I've moved the article back to the single name. Bird names follow the IOC List], and even if we decide to deviate from that list in general Wikipedia articles do not have dual names (unless the things is commonly refered to with both names ([Matiu / Somes Island]] as an example) .

Fanny Fern

If you're so interested in Fanny Fern, you would be a huge help at her article (Fanny Fern) or the article on Ruth Hall. Remember to source properly, etc. I'm worried that you're changing sourced information on an approved featured article at N. P. Willis. --Midnightdreary (talk) 01:53, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at my note again, it looks a little threatening, which was not my intention. Rather than push you away from Willis, my goal was to encourage you to work on two articles that really could use the help! Sorry if it seemed rude, impolite, etc. --Midnightdreary (talk) 14:26, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Swaggart

In the Jimmy_Swaggart#Controversies.2C_scandals_and_criticisms section, it already says:

In 1988, Swaggart was implicated in a sex scandal involving a prostitute that resulted initially in his suspension and ultimately Swaggart was defrocked and removed from the ministry by the Assemblies of God. Three years later, Swaggart was again implicated in a sex scandal involving a prostitute. As a result, Swaggart's current ministry is non-affiliated, non-denominational and significantly smaller than it was in the ministry's pre-scandal years.

The section you are adding to the lead virtually replicates this, saying:

Sexual scandals in the late 1980s and early 1990's led the Assemblies of God to defrock him, and to his temporarily stepping down as the head of Jimmy Swaggert Ministries.

In essence, you're replicating what has already been said in the controversies section. Placing this element in the lead of the article, in fact the second paragraph, gives undue weight to the scandal. If you wish to add to the controversies section, please feel free. I invite you to remove your replicating commentary in the lead though. I hope you do so. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 19:13, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your point, but all parts of intro summaries are covered also in main articles. As for relative coverage, compare the articles for Ted Haggard and Jim Bakker, which give even more attention to their relevant scandals in their Intros. --Mukogodo
- So what's to stop us from replicating everything in the article into the lead then? This piece is already covered lower in the article. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:46, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sean Hyman

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Sean Hyman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. AllyD (talk) 15:29, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Holistic management

Thanks for your input on the Holistic management page. In general I believe the changes you made are helpful.

There are two changes I would like to discuss though. (to see if another option can be done that is acceptable)

Starting with no-til farming being one use of holistic management system. NCAT-ATTRA is in fact both using and monitoring the effect of integration of holistic management principles into the standard no til model of agriculture used by the majority of farmers in the USA. I have confirmed that personally by talking to a farmer involved with the project. (Brown farm) They are using both cover crops between cash crops and integration of animals to forage those cover crops in a rotational system. Not sure why you simply removed that use of holistic management. It was referenced. Maybe you didn't thoroughly investigate the references? Here is a link to a webinar put out by ATTRA and posted on youtube. I didn't post this link on the Holistic management wiki page simply because it is a youtube vid and not acceptable as a source, Nor does it directly focus on holistic management, more on the actual farming methods, but it possibly could be useful to you personally in giving you ideas on a better way to include this use of holistic management into the article? Rather than deleting the whole thing? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjI2zWf4uMI (PS I also incorporate holistic management into a different less standard version of no-til but of course original research is not allowed in a wikipedia article, so I didn't include my own project)

The second thing I would like to discuss is you removing the last paragraph from the criticism section. While I tend to agree with you that vegetarian and eco-extremist criticisms of Holistic planned grazing are pretty much irrelevant. Certainly they tend to be more dogmatic than logical. One has to accept the fact that in every forum where Holistic planned grazing is discussed they are in fact the most vocal critics. I don't agree with them. I agree with you that in the majority of cases their criticisms are irrelevant. But to maintain NPOV I included the most reasonable argument I could find that they make. Why would you take that off the criticism section? Surely you wouldn't want to turn a blind eye to the fact that these people exist would you? You don't have to agree with them (I don't), just acknowledge they have and are criticizing. Please reply on the Holistic management talk page so all can see and possibly join in the discussion for a chance of consensus. Thanks Redddbaron (talk) 15:34, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lautrec

Hello Mukogodo. We may be interpreting the same sentence in the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec article in two different ways. I interpret "Henri suffered from congenital health conditions traditionally attributed to inbreeding" to mean that historians have traditionally attributed Lautrec's health problems to his family's history of inbreeding. Your edit summary suggests that you interpret it as characterizing any single-event cousin marriage as likely to result in health problems. But numerous historians have described Lautrec's health conditions as the result of "a history of inbreeding" or "much inbreeding". Armand Marie Leroi writes, in Mutants: On Genetic Variety and the Human Body: "Whatever his disorder, it seems that he shared it with several other members of his family. By the time Henri Marie Raymond, Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa, was born in 1864 his family, though still rich, was quite inbred. The Napoleonic abolition of primogeniture had prompted an already much-reduced French nobility to keep what wealth remained in their families by the simple expedient of not marrying out of them. Henri's parents were first cousins, as were his aunt and uncle: between them they produced sixteen children, of whom four including Henri were dwarfed, the other three far more severely than he." The National Gallery website says "it is likely that Lautrec suffered from a bone disease (perhaps owing to the numerous consanguineous marriages in the family)". I've rewritten the passage to clarify the intended meaning. Ewulp (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You've removed sourced content, and I can't see why. First of all, your opinion of whether it's probable is not really relevant, see WP:TRUTH. Second of all, why do you keep mentioning Berlin? hgilbert (talk) 11:49, 29 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit-warring and original research

They don't go well together. You looked at the table and wrote your own conclusions that Greece is last in the European Union in terms of the HDI. This is called original research WP:OR. When I reverted you, you insisted and reverted back. But you were wrong. You forgot other countries in the European Union which were below Greece in the table such as: Cyprus, Estonia, Slovakia, Malta, Hungary, Poland, Lithuania, Portugal, Latvia, Croatia, Romania and Bulgaria. That's almost half the European Union. So please remember: If the words are yours and not in the reference, it is original research. I will leave also an original research notification and a 3RR warning for future reference. Best regards. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 15:49, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

September 2013

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Greece. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Δρ.Κ. ^{λόγοςπράξις} 15:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Greece shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Joseph Smith

Hi, Regarding this edit, I think you might be confusing Smith's "First Vision" (which was reported long after the fact) with his 1823 visitation and subsequent visits to the hill (which he told his family about at the time). Specifically, regarding the last part of the edit, the visits to the hill were well publicized at the time, and we can confidently say in Wikipedia's voice that "On September 22, 1827, Smith made his last annual visit to the hill" instead of the more awkward "Smith said that he made his last annual visit to the hill on September 22, 1827". There were several witnesses to this: his mother stayed up all night, he took his wife with him, he borrowed his neighbor's wagon to do it, and practically the whole neighborhood knew the date. That he went to the hill on that date is entirely uncontroversial; what he said he found there is another matter. ~Adjwilley (talk) 18:17, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In any case, the written documentation of this event is only well after the fact.

I'd be worried if written documentation showed up before the fact. In any case, rather than trying to be historians ourselves, I think our best bet is to try to follow what other "reliable sources" have said on the matter... As far as I know, they all agree that he did in fact go to the hill on September 22, 1827. They only disagree in their speculation on what he did there. Dan Vogel, for instance, says that he spent the night making a fake set of plates from tin. ~Adjwilley (talk) 23:42, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cheetah

Regarding this edit to Cheetah, I also found "till" too informal, but I thought it might be more acceptable in British English, so I thought I would ask Sainsf whether s/he still preferred "till" to "until". Since there was an on-going discussion following a Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors copy-edit, to which I provided a link, I think the polite thing to do would have been to add a comment in that discussion rather than simply undoing my edit. Your edit, while perhaps ultimately correct, left at least two other instances of "till" in the article. – Corinne (talk) 03:57, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wineville Chicken Coop Murders / Sanford Clark / your comment

I reverted back your comment on the Wineville Chicken Coopp Murders for this reason.

Sanford Clark was present at all times before and during the building of the chicken coops at Wineville. He was brought from Canada by his cousin, Gordon Northcott, to help Gordon to build the chicken-coops.

Your comment, that Sanford could not have known about any other boys held at the chicken-coops (before he arrived there), is historically inaccurate. As mentioned, Sanford helped to build the coops, was present at all times (as a prisoner) at the ranch and chicken coops, and until Gordon Northcott fled the chicken coops and ranch and was arrested, Sanford was present at all times.

There were no times in the historical record between the time that the chicken coops were built and Gordon was arrested, that Sanford Clark was not present.

I strongly suggest, if you are interested in this history, to read the book by James Jeffrey Paul, Nothing is Strange with You. It is the entire historical record and account of what took place at Wineville and accurately reflects the historical record and legal case against gordon Northcott.

The film Changeling, did not adhere 100% to the historical record and did take some Hollywood license in some of the events depicted in the film; especially the number of boys portrayed as having been held at the chicken-coops.

Feel free to further discuss this if you prefer on the talk page of Wineville Chicken Coop murders.

November 2017

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Armenia. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Dr. K. 15:02, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Parasitic castration

Hi, intrigued to see that you were reverted by an IP for your uncited additions. While I wouldn't call them "trolling", they were definitely uncited and apparently also original research. We can't identify and classify practices as biological behaviours without reliable sources. In that sense, the IP was right. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:25, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please review WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss it on the article talk page, not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring. During the discussion, the article remains in the status quo ante.

I have started a discussion on the article talk page, which you will find here. Please make your views known there, and do not restore the material you added until there is a consensus to do so. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:45, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited African golden wolf, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Harry Kendall Thaw

You changed the Harry Kendall Thaw article to say that Thaw "was only incarcerated for a a short time" after killing White. It was not a short time. He was arrested immediately after killing White and was then held continuously for seven years until he escaped. He shot Thaw on June 25, 1906, and was kept in jail or a mental institution until he escaped in 1913. After he was recaptured, he was further entangled and on trial until July 16, 1915. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:37, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hard to see how I can say this without seeming sarky

1940 was not and has never been in 1050. So the UK population in 1950 tells us nothing about what it was in 1940.Slatersteven (talk) 10:13, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not snarky so much as silly. Nothing? Really? Of course 1950 information tells us something about 1940, and certainly enough to justify the earlier edit.Mukogodo (talk) 11:54, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019

Hello. Your recent edit to Littleton High School (Colorado) appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. I understand you feel a biography isn't needed. I think it's the better way to go. But feel free to make your case by providing references to reliable sources that establish both notability and attendance at the school. Gab4gab (talk) 01:31, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recent change to No Gun Ri Massacre

Hello Mukogodo, You recently changed content supported by a citation at No Gun Ri Massacre. Did you check the cited source to make sure that it supports the new content?--Wikimedes (talk) 02:58, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019

Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Littleton High School (Colorado), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You added a name to the notable alumni list without citing a source that shows he had attended the school. Gab4gab (talk) 11:16, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again Mukogodo, I see that you again added Tim T. Kelly to the notable alumni list without providing a citation to a reliable source confirming he attended the school. If your source or his article mention Littleton High School I'm not seeing it. I've again reverted you for the same reason. Please make your case, if you have one, on the talk page before adding him a third time. See the discussion: Talk:Littleton High School (Colorado)#Tim T. Kelly in the notable alumni list. Gab4gab (talk) 14:03, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution. You have now restored the material twice without providing the required citation. Please follow Wikipedia policy and stop restoring the material without meeting your burden. You are involved in a dispute that is being discussed on the article talk page. You should be making your arguments there. Gab4gab (talk) 14:24, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

Your recent editing history at Mount Ararat shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.----Երևանցի ^talk 16:39, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to "Dionysius Exiguus"

Your recent edits to "Dionysius Exiguus" claim that he did not invent an era. In this context, era takes on the meaning used in discussing calendars. The glossary of Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac (2nd ed., Sausalito CA: University Science Books, 1992) contains the following definition

era: a system of chronological notation reckoned from a given date.

So, in the appropriate sense, Dionysius did invent an era. Jc3s5h (talk) 11:23, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning your edit at Chamaenerion angustifolium

I reverted your edit at Chamaenerion angustifolium because all of the species of Chamaenerion, i.e., the fireweeds, were moved out of Epilobium entirely as a distinct genus, rather than a subgroup or subgenus, and to refer to it as "Chamaenerion (Epilobium) angustifolium" would therefor be inaccurate.--Mr Fink (talk) 23:14, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You must not add material that isn't specifically mentioned in the source - that would be original research and you've been warned about that more than once

See WP:VERIFY. My edit summary the first time at John Baumgardner made that clear. If I missed something, please add the quote to the article talk page. You've had a lot of warnings for various things I see, which isn't good at all. Doug Weller talk 09:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Parapsychology into Jessica Utts. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 13:12, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wanted to remind a fellow editor we go by Verifiability, not truth in our editing of articles. The copy is to be based on the sourcing, preferably secondary reliable sources. If the source is "wrong", you are to find a stronger source. We are not supposed to remove content we personally find to be incorrect when that goes against the source. Hope this helps.
