Misleading edit summary

Please don't use misleading edit summaries in your edits, as you did here. The content was not "deleted by accident": as Aquillion's edit summary makes clear, the content was deleted because the source you cited doesn't mention antifa, so it wasn't clear why the material belongs in the antifa (United States) article. Being confused about other editors' motivations is of course understandable, but it's much better to be honest about that confusion than to risk inaccurately describing those motivations. If the edit summary was intended to obfuscate or deceive, you should know that it was not successful; this sort of thing is very unlikely to work and much more likely to get on people's nerves. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 13:26, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. It looked like it was an accident because the website I cited said he was "Antifascist" and I thought that's what Antifa was, so that's why I thought it was a mistake. I tried to chat in the talk page but I don't think it was working right, it kept saying that my post was added successful but didn't display.

Redneck Revolt

I've reverted your edit to Redneck Revolt because the claims you added to the article are not supported by the source you cited. Here's a rule of thumb to remember: rather than deciding to add a claim to an article, and then looking for a source to justify it, read the source first and then try to summarise it in the article, without adding any commentary or anything you've read elsewhere. This is especially important in articles about contentious topics, where other editors typically have less patience with editing that might be intended to advance a particular point of view. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 21:27, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is confusing because I quoted the cited article directly. ValentinesDay88 (talk) 22:12, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Would HappyValentinesDay be considered offensive? If so, why? I like the day because it's my birthday and my nickname is Valentine but I don't want to offend anyone because I know that day is important to some Catholics and I am not Catholic.
