[edit]
Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I noticed that in this edit to Vanessa Alexander, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 03:20, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
@I dream of horses: Hi - thanks for your help - I don't fully understand why the changes I made were accepted and then altered back to previous version. The changes were relatively minor and reflect recent news articles about Vanessa Alexander and the fact her series just came out on Netflix last Friday and she is therefore a person of interest to people watching it. I was helping to update the sources of her entry to more recent ones. There are more recent news articles about her than seem to be sourced here. I did this in relevant lines of text and as well as adding Vikings:Valhalla as a notable work in the table as it is an extremely notable work right now. I also removed works listed in the filmography that are of no significance as they are not listed in on the imdb database. The current entry lists numerous short films that were made at film schools and would not constitute professional work worthy of listing on Wikipedia. These works are not listed on the imdb and do not reflect the content of the rest of the entry, as Vanessa did not write or direct them or even play a lead creative role. Can you please help me understand what I did incorrectly? Sorry to be a pain. I thought I had noted down what was done but I clearly did not do this clearly or in enough detail? Can you revert the changes without me having to redo them? And if not can you please explain if the reasoning above is enough detail? I have tried hard to read the information around editing and even succeeded in linking the notable work in the box and adding the reference to her PhD. The previous article had said she had a Masters degree from UNSW and that is incorrect. Her PhD from UNSW is in the library and even linked to the public access copy. This error was repaired both in the text and by correcting the referencing. Viragogirl (talk) 03:47, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

@I dream of horses: Hello and thanks for allowing me to try again. I don't fully understand why the changes I made were accepted and then altered back to previous version. The changes were relatively minor and reflect recent news articles about Vanessa Alexander and the fact her series just came out on Netflix last Friday and she is therefore a person of interest to people watching it. I believe the mistake I have made is saying they are a minor edit when they should be noted to be checked by editors. Is this correct? I also think perhaps I should have done them one by one and noted reasoning for each one.
For your reference, I was helping to correct errors and update Vanessa entry using more recent sources. There are more recent news articles about her and there were some clear errors with these. For example she has a PhD not a Masters and the article linked to that is incorrect. I therefore added the link to her PhD thesis at University of New South Wales. I also added Vikings:Valhalla as a notable work in the side table and added this to Jeb Stuart's entry as he is creator of the series.
The last thing I did was to remove works listed in the filmography that are of no broad significance as they are not listed in on the imdb database. The current entry lists numerous short films that were made at film schools and would not constitute professional work normally listed on Wikipedia. These works are also not listed on the imdb and do not reflect the content of the rest of the entry which is about her writing and creative works of significance. Vanessa did not write or direct most of the works I removed.
Can you please help me understand how I should proceed? Can you revert the changes without me having to redo them? Or should I do them one by one asking for them to be checked and noting each individual change? Thanks for your help. Sorry about the paragraphs. Viragogirl (talk) 04:15, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for adding paragraphs. It seems you've already redid your edits, but honestly, after reading the above, I would've realized and self-re-reverted. I made a mistake.

@I dream of horses: I Did them again and tried to note down the reasons more clearly. Thanks so very much for your help and no need to say sorry! I appreciate the input. Viragogirl (talk) 05:39, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
