Phoenicia under Roman rule

Hello and thank you for expanding the aforementioned article. Can you please provide sources for the added content? ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 13:36, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I am adding it to the bibliography: Cook, Arthur Bernard Zeus: A Study in Ancient Religion, Vol. I: Zeus God of the Bright Sky, Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, 1914

Please include page numbers in the inline citations. I am currently reviewing the sources and I am having difficulty locating the passages you have quoted. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 06:14, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added references, with pages if possible. I am checking to find more pages: I don't like problems & "edit-wars" so I am ready to collaborate and to be the more friendly possible.--Nemetope (talk) 12:56, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have cited the same work which does not support your additions. ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 05:19, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added more references. For your "peace of mind", I want to pinpoint that probably you have a version of the "same work" that is different from mine. Sometimes authors in different years change their original versions, as you surely know. --Nemetope (talk) 12:53, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Nemetope, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I don't mean to sound patronizing but I really believe you should read this too Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 05:34, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some guidance on article talk pages and distinguishing between jokes and vandalism

Please read WP:VANDALISM as it's very important that you not suggest that editors are vandals if their edits don't fit our definition of vandalism. The joke you removed was not vandalism and you shouldn't have removed it. We have guidelines on using talk pages at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines which say "Removing harmful posts, including personal attacks, trolling, and vandalism. This generally does not extend to messages that are merely uncivil; deletions of simple invective are controversial. Posts that may be considered disruptive in various ways are another borderline case and are usually best left as-is or archived." The joke shouldn't have been removed or called vandalism. I see it's been restored. Please understand that in no way am I making a personal attack here, I'm trying to explain things to you. Wikipedia can be a very strange place to new users, especially if they edit in contentious fields. By the way, I just took a look at your article edits. Interesting and informative. Doug Weller, who didn't use 4 tildes but 5 and so my sig was only a time. 12:48, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

I just had a thought. You might want to join WP:Wikiproject Archaeology. Doug Weller
