Hi Moriwen, hope you are doing well. I removed the ranking section of the Beijing Forestry University as most other similar schools don't have this section and they are really not doing well in the world ranking :-) I think it is better if we do not include this section. Thank you so much for your understanding! Please feel free to delete this message.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Church of San Francisco, Bogotá, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Presbytery. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, I'm AgisdeSparte. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Christianity and transgender people—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I added the following today to the talk page of the "Association of Business Psychologists" article:

This article, which was initiated by me, is currently the subject of a deletion proposal [by Moriwen], of which I received notice today. I believe that the deletion proposal is misconceived, and that the organisation is in fact more significant than its proposer suggests – an example of evidence of this would be the fact that over a dozen university degree courses in the United Kingdom are accredited by the ABP. However, I currently no longer have a close familiarity with the organisation, so I am consulting those who do to establish the best way forward. I should be grateful if no further action were taken on the deletion proposal until that consultation is complete. Deipnosophista (talk) 11:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for looking out for Pages needing translation, but did you know that these are strictly for pages which have a corresponding article on another language Wikipedia? Such pages are connected through Wikidata, and you can see evidence of that in the languages section in the left sidebar. The Charles Delacommune article has no equivalent in French Wikipedia, so doesn't need listing at WP:PNT. The article Chup Tazia doesn't need translation from Arabic, because there is no Arabic version of it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 09:57, 28 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No worries. By all means add listings to WP:PNT when you find an English article that has been translated from a foreign-language Wikipedia, and needs attention; that always helps. Happy editing! Mathglot (talk) 06:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Moriwen, When you create a redirect, please check that the term actually exists on the targeted page. Redirecting to a synonym is a legitimate use for redirects, but not all readers will recognise the specific term for which the redirect is a synonym if it is not mentioned on the target page. If it is not mentioned, please add it in a logical place, ideally with a suitable reference. If you normally do this but sometimes forget or have not got around to it yet, no problem. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 08:11, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It also makes a redirect more useful if you target a section if that is where the redirected term is discussed, and if you would add any relevant tags, such as ((R to section)) or ((R to alternative scientific name)), that helps a lot with curatorial work, and the redirect is more likely to be tagged as patrolled. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 08:28, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also check that the target article actually provides the reader with useful information about the redirected term. The mere fact that it is used in the target is no guarantee that the redirect will be helpful to the reader. In articles where a term is used without explanation of its meaning, the term would more appropriately be wikilinked, which should not link back to the same page. In some cases it may be more useful to redirect to a technical glossary, and add the term with a suitable definition. Bear in mind that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Redirects that are not useful are likely to be deleted. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 09:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I did leave a clear explanation of the edit removing the phrase "against conventional wisdom" which is a baseless unsupported assertion which has no place on wikipedia. Whose says it was against convention wisdom? Where is any citation? Who defines what is accepted "conventional wisdom"? What is the criteria? Wikipedia is not meant to be an opinion piece. I cannot see why my explanation was inadequate and why you would revert that change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.53.33.99 (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The section you deleted included several citations supporting it. — Moriwen (talk) 19:24, 31 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"No ethnographic studies have shown that any present or past society has used barter without any other medium of exchange or measurement, and anthropologists have found no evidence that money emerged from barter."

That is a completely unsupported assertion. It is a politicised opinion ("the barter myth") stating a negative as a fact. Can't prove a negative, that is a logical fallacy.

Hi, you reverted my change to the description of alt-tech as "Internet platforms that cater to extremists" to describe them simply as alternatives to mainstream offerings. You did this because Wikipedia is supposed to maintain a neutral point of view. To quote the linked article, "Alt-tech are social media platforms and Internet service providers that have become popular among the alt-right, far-right, and others who espouse extremism or fringe theories, often because they employ less stringent content moderation than mainstream platforms." I think it is sufficiently neutral to describe alt-tech as I have done. These platforms specifically exist to create a space for extremists where they can, for example, freely discuss acts of terrorism without fear of censorship. Please read the alt-tech article for more information, and see the referenced journal article describing how terrorists used Telegram to coordinate the January 6th attack. Thanks, and have a great day! 68.50.184.108 (talk) 16:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. I tried to find out the source of the previous document, which was Syngman rhee is the founding father of S. Korea, but officially the government of S. Korea nor National Assembly of Korea have never officialized the founding father. The constiution of Korea stipulates that the 6th republic upholds the democratic idea of April 19th revolution in 1960, in which people resisted against the government of Syngman Rhee and finally made him resigned. Some rightist media argues that he was the founding father of S.Korea, but also numerous newspapers are against it, which shows that there is no official founding father of S.Korea. That's why I edited the documemt and wrote Dangun, the legendary father of Korean race as the founding father of S. Korea. And S.Korea have national day on which Koreans celebrate his legendary birthday and his founding of Ancient Korea. Here are the resources. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Republic_of_Korea_(1987) - The constitution of 6th republic of Korea https://m.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2023033109560002703 - News article from HanKookIlbo.

Thank you for your work, but I'd like to point out that there are inaccuracies on the page regarding the very 1st SUFC ladies team. Unfortunately, the players who were part of that initial team are not acknowledged, which I believe is unjust. I was personally a member of that team, and while I understand that evidence from that time is limited due to the absence of the internet, I do have images that were previously featured on the SUFC page, but have since been removed. Collaborating with fellow players, we're striving to ensure that our contribution to the team's history is recognized, along with the efforts of our coaches, Gary Hindley and Mel Woodall. It's essential that the write-up accurately reflects the facts. I apologize if this comes across as critical, but the historical accuracy is crucial, as the current version undermines our accomplishments. I possess a team photograph that was included in a program, as well as some old individual photos. We're dedicated to being an integral part of the history of ladies' football at SUFC." we combined as ladies numbers where low with sheffield hallam united.

You have reverted a number of my edits which I can assure you were made in good faith and after a great deal of time in researching the existing entry and what was required to correct and improve it. That entry was full of misunderstandings and errors. Far from merely removing content, I have corrected it and added new content, links and sources. Here are my edit summaries.

See History - original text was for 1770 chapel. Confused with Lady Glenorchy's Chapel started in 1772 and opened in 1774.

There was only one chapel or church built. Building started in 1772, completed 1774, hence confusion. (See History because at some time an editor has confused reference to an 1870 chapel with an 1872 chapel which, in turn, made the editor think that, as well as the 1872 chapel, there was an 1874 chapel. I corrected all that!}

The name Horatius does not appear in history of Lady Glenorchy. Source is useless. ("Horatius" does not appear in the original source, which is so general it is useless, nor in the History of Lady Glenorchy.)

Location of Edinburgh home (I added where her home was, also link)

Lady Glenorchy for consistency (Text suddenly started calling her "Campbell" so.....)

Low Calton was the 1772/4 church (Editor confused the old church at Low Calton with new church at Greenside)

Source for mother (Citation wanted so citation provided)

Typo (Corrected typo)

Further explanation (Extra information given in article)

New information (Added new informtion - see text if you want to know what it is)

Removed advert for Amazon (Online link for book was directly to Amazon sales)

In my view these edit summaries are entirely adequate being as good as most of the edit summaries I see in Wikipedia - why am I having to give extra and unnecessary explanation? Consideration of these summaries together with proper consideration of what was actually written in comparison with the text before my edits will show that your reversion was precipitate and improper. After all my effort in correcting and improving the article, at a stroke and, as far as I can see, with proper consideration, you have destroyed it. I seriously wonder if it is worthwhile contributing to Wikipedia when this can happen. I shall be obliged if you will now revert back.82.28.236.130 (talk) 15:22, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So, what is important here? The edit summaries or the edits?82.28.236.130 (talk) 16:38, 25 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Compared to that noted above, the edit summary for your revert really is inadequate. Also, you have failed to follow any of the guidance in this Wikipedia guide which I note here for your information. "Consider carefully before reverting, as it rejects the contributions of another editor, and all others' after the edit in question. Consider what you object to, and what the editor was attempting. Can you improve the edit, bringing progress, rather than reverting it? Can you revert only part of the edit, or do you need to revert the whole thing? (The latter option is better executed through an undo action.) In the edit summary or on the talk page, succinctly explain why the change you are reverting was a bad idea or why reverting it is a better idea. In cases of blatant vandalism, uncontroversially disruptive changes or unexplained removals, the amount of explanation needed is minimal. But in the event of a content dispute, a convincing, politely-worded explanation gains much importance and avoids unnecessary disputes." 82.28.236.130 (talk) 13:28, 26 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I removed the description because it was full of errors and omissions. Just a few. No payment to Good Will Hinckley was ever denied or rejected. They received the amount in full. What was omitted, among many other things, was that Eves had refused to move closer to the school than the 2-1/2 hour drive distance to his home. He refused to resign as speaker, or as a legislator. he also refused to promise not to run for governor. Despite having no time to perform his duties, and no interest in being present at the school, the GWH board hired him as their president. This action by the board made it clear that the governing body of the school was hopelessly ineffective and Governor LePage, who had personally intervened two years earlier to stop the school from closing, said that he no longer had faith in the school and would no longer support it. More insight was revealed in testimony when it was revealed that GWH board member Bill Brown was the driving force behind the eves hiring. However, Brown should have recused himself from the process rather than lead it, because he was a paid political appointee of Speaker Eves. It became clear during the investigation that the board chose Eves so that he could, as speaker, restore their $1 million funding in the state budget. For this, they were willing to overlook his limitations in time, geography , and interest in the mission of the school. Desjardin's only roll was to temporarily hold a payment request because the budget that funded it had yet to be passed by the Legislature and therefore should not have been approved at that time. 2603:7081:6C40:AA1E:3C85:BB0E:CBCD:150E (talk) 20:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The article Ecclesiastical prison you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Ecclesiastical prison for comments about the article, and Talk:Ecclesiastical prison/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Adding the word "supposed" here casts inappropriate doubt on the existence of the blue wall of silence, which is adequately attested in the rest of the article. See WP:DOUBT for more details. — Moriwen (talk) 16:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

FYI, Moriwen, this is another IP address used by the long-blocked Defeedme, who stalks my edits from time to time. This one at Jeffrey Skilling came right after the one you reverted, and Defeedme has been adding their preferred verbiage at that article for a while (it get reverted quickly, usually). Their IP trail is long but provides a lot of criss-cross evidence. Wes sideman (talk) 17:10, 15 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

On 16 September 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Ecclesiastical prison, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that medieval monks could be punished by being walled up alive in a special ecclesiastical prison called the Vade in Pace? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Ecclesiastical prison. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Ecclesiastical prison), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I've also looked at your other nomination Beatrice of Nazareth and I've made some edits to the article. It's an interesting subject, but I found it difficult to determine whether the article is close enough to GA to reach it through the review process. I think I would first have to read up on the subject matter and I expect there to be a lot of (academic research) literature about her life and work.

Please stop deleting postnomial abbreviations for clerics. In some cases this is the only way to distinguish between two persons of the same name in lists of bishops, e.g. "Fra Antonio", could be Franciscan, could be Dominican. The abbreviations are NOT decorativev; they contain important information.

Please stop deleting "S." This is part of the name of a cathedral or a church.

I'm sure this is only ignorance of clerical traditions, as I see from the articles you have created.

I draw your attention to WP:NEWBIE: "Policies, guidelines, and formatting norms are developed by the community to describe the best practices, to clarify principles, resolve conflicts, and otherwise further our goals. These rules are principles, not laws, on Wikipedia. To varying degrees, policies and guidelines exist as rough approximations of their underlying principles.

Hello Moriwen! Delhi Public School is on going through a controversy in which it has lost 0.4 stars on Google Reviews which is a huge topic. If you think my Edit was wrong and the sources were not reliable then it's ok but if it can be published, can you tell me what changes should I make. 146.196.39.97 (talk) 16:11, 3 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi! The key here is that you need to cite a reliable, secondary source. So, citing its google review page doesn't work: that's not reliable (anyone can post google reviews) and it's not secondary (it's primary, a direct link to the thing happening). On the other hand, if a newspaper runs a story like "Controversy in Delhi: Public School Loses 0.4 Stars on Google Reviews", you can cite that.

Hi! I've been looking into classical artists I can listen to that sound akin to Max Richter and Philip Glass and I found Joep Beving. I looked into the page and have added an infobox with relevant information according to the article in its current form as well as forced the usage of international dates. I just hope they'll go well with you, since those are two fixes I thought of, and you were the first registered person I saw in Joep Beving's edit history.

Reason for the latter fix is because we're talking about an international individual here, so international dates (DD/MM/YYYY) should apply, in my honest opinion. If we were talking of someone from America, then we can use MM/DD/YYYY. Thanks for looking into them! Nicole. Oh, she's elegantly clandestine... ✨ 12:35, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for patrolling edits by IPs, but have actually read what I have written?

The first edit deals with grammar and is mentioned in the Revision history. A "quarter" (singular) is an American coin; "quarters" (plural) is housing in American English; please see the disambiguation page Quarter.

The second edit deals with Season 3. If you read the main article or watched the show, in this alternative history, Ellen Wilson won the November 1992 election and during Season 3 has become President of the United States, which implies that Season 3 is occurring after January 1993. This is just common sense (at least for American politics). Please ping IronMaximus to see if my changes are correct or not.

The third edit deals with the changes between Season 3 and Season 4 that is mentioned in the montage that is shown during first few minutes of episode 1 of season 4. Please ping IronMaximus to see if my changes are correct or not. (possible citation: https://subjectmedia.org/2023/11/12/for-all-mankind-s4e1-glasnost/ )
