At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted.

Grammar issues in your recent additions

Hello VT440genoa, I'm KidAd I appreciate your efforts to improve the article Santa Fe Plaza. Some of your edits have been removed and archived in the page history as the edits were improperly phrased with poor grammar. I understand that English may not be your first language and I do not fault you for making such mistakes or not having a large vocabulary, it is completely normal and no one should be expected to know the language to perfection. However, if this is your situation please feel free to ask for help on the talk page by including the citation along with your proposed edits, there are multiple users who would be glad to help you fix the grammar related issues by copy editing. You could also consider doing other tasks listed at Wikipedia:Task Center. Thanks! KidAd talk 23:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Santa Fe Plaza; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

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 and 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. KidAd talk 21:02, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KidAd - re "Santa Fe Plaza" -- Thanks for the note, but you need to provide details on why you reverted the material. Your comment about "not tour book" material is unclear. That is not my intent, nor is it accurate about my incorporation of new material on the historic use and physical evolution of the public space. Suggestions, with details on the topic, are always welcome. VT440genoa (talk) 21:35, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VT440genoa The material you're edit-warring in violates WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:PUFFERY. Wikipedia is not meant to host content more suited to the website of a local historical society. KidAd talk 21:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

KidAd - re "Santa Fe Plaza" -- The Santa Fe Plaza has been determined of national significance and listed as a National Historic Landmark, a list maintained by the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, U. S. National Park service. It is not "local" history. The recent content I added focuses on the history of the plaza. I disagree that it violates WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:PUFFERY. Again, detailed comments on content are always welcome. VT440genoa (talk) 21:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

VT440genoa, First, you do not need to include KidAd - re "Santa Fe Plaza" at the start of your comments like you would an email. If you want to get my attention, follow the instructions at WP:PING for how to alert me (or any user) to a discussion. I'm sorry that you don't "agree" with my assessment of WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:PUFFERY, but that isn't worth much. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with these policies, in addition to WP:PROMO and WP:COI. Per WP:PROMO, Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery and Wikipedia articles about a person, company or organization are not an extension of their website, press releases, or other social media marketing efforts. As I said before, Wikipedia is not the place for content more suited to the website of organizations like the Historic Santa Fe Foundation or New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. You may be more interested in starting a historical blog, where you have the independence to write and share whatever material you like. If not, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies and avoid edit-warring. KidAd talk 22:46, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It has been suggested that we should use the Santa Fe Plaza talk page to discuss my proposed additions or edits. I can easily put them there tomorrow. VT440genoa (talk) 23:03, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KidAd:, please refrain from assuming bad faith when critiquing the edits of fellow Wikipedians. Constructive criticism is useful, but hard to act on when presented in such an acerbic tone. Arlo James Barnes 20:54, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
