June 2024

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. Thank you. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 05:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, I was using the rollback on Twinkle, which auto-opens the talk page edit as opposed to a new section. Just pasted it at the top on accident. SmittenGalaxy (talk) 05:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Useless templating

Hello,

You've recently templated me for removing content with an explanation. But you then said it WAS NOT explained. Are you sure you are templating who you intend to? If not, can you provide a diff of an unexplained removal of content? 68.170.73.15 (talk) 20:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It does not say "unexplained", it says "adequate explanation". Removing information in the lede, such as you did at this diff, struck me as a bit odd because you mention genetics, despite the page not being about genetics, although your previous edit was on that page. This led me to believe you mistakenly edited the wrong page and used an incorrect edit summary to justify the edit, which is why I did not revert to that diff.

Both this diff and this one remove sourced information, but I do not feel the explanation given in your edit summary was adequate as to why you removed this information. Wikipedia does allow both the removal of inaccurate information as well as irrelevant information, but as I previously stated, I do not feel your edit summary was an adequate explanation of why this removal was necessary. It was sourced information, so if you can explain why the removal of this information was necessary, I can understand the reasoning for it. Please do this on the article's talk page, however, and not my talk page, nor yours. This is why I did not revert to these diffs.

And finally, this one is probably the one I'd be the most likely to understand, but I do not believe your edit summary was clear as to why it was removed. Additionally, it was still sourced information, and if you have a dispute with the accuracy of the source and its adequacy for use in the article, you may again dispute this on the article's talk page.

I have reverted back to the last diff before your edits. If you have any further discussion to do, you may do it on the article's talk page. Thanks. SmittenGalaxy (talk) 01:26, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You added, and now own, "Mormon apologists give varied responses to these criticisms....". None of your additions are relevant or cited to experts. In fact, you seem to be edit warring to keep WP:FRINGE materials in the article. Every scholarly sourced does not require pseudoscientific rebuttals. Also, see WP:MANDY 68.170.73.15 (talk) 19:53, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
