Developed country

Hi, responding to your message about my edits to the Developed country article. I did not cite a new source because the very link that was previously cited has actually been updated. This link is here: https://datahelpdesk.worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519-world-bank-country-and-lending-groups

Please review the link and reinstate the changes - this approach is making it very difficult for good faith editors to make changes, which means that Wikipedia is now effectively out of date until the change is made. The World Bank just released its new income classifications today, with Romania, Mauritius and Nauru added as high-income countries. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.3.243 (talk)

Thank you for explaining that. I suggest next time you move the citation to the end of the paragraph as in it's current position it was citing the content before the change, not after. I have reinstated your revision. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 08:15, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Thanks very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.3.243 (talk)

Honda CR-X del Sol: Revision history

In Honda CR-X del Sol: Revision history: My apologies for putting a link of something I though that was "legal" to include which was the del Sol Guide link.

Though, I would like to keep the text information I posted about the Motegi and Daytona del Sols which I had under these sections:

  • Limited Edition Specification: Added the info on Limited Edition Motegi and Daytona
  • Colors: Info on Limited Edition Daytona type and Motegi type

I love the Honda del Sol very much and would like to include as much information as is available to put on the Wikipedia page. I have donated money to Wikipedia over the last few years and this is only the second time I have updated any page.

Please redo those two parts for the Limited Editions. Thank you,

Diadexxus I appreciate you were trying to help and I encourage you to contribute to Wikipedia, but here there are some very strict copyright guidelines. The only times where copying from sources is allowed is a short quote that is cited from the source. A lot of the content you added was copied from this page If you would be able to rewrite the information from that page without clearly plagiarising it, such as cutting bits out adding info etc, but not just copying and pasting it and editing it, then feel free to add the content back to the page. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 08:19, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Berrely I will see how I can do this. The two Limited Edition delSols from Germany should be on the page :) Thank you.
Diadexxus Getting the Limited Edition info under the colors section would be great. Yeah, I am trying to figure out how to I can write up information that does not plagiarizing any text. I just know they are both only in 1998, and from only a very few Germany car dealers. I am tracking down owners of both the Motegi and the Daytona delSols so I can get approval to use your photos to show them off as well. So thank you very much for any help you can give.

Reverts

I disagree with your revert on the Brett Bigham entry. That entry is a mess of blog references, which I removed. Rather than simply revert, why don't you put in the effort to make the entry readable and reliable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.218.67.2 (talk)

You have massively oversimplified the article. Encyclopedic articles need context. You can't just say He was fired because he was gay, you need to give some context. @Barkeep49: has literally just rewritten the lead to make it more encyclopedic and add some context. You claim that the sources are “blog references”, but they aren't they are clearly reliable sources from reputable news organisations. Please do not make this an edit war. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 18:07, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
I think Bigham is an important educator who deserves to have a well written article. What's there now is a mess and remains overly promotional and full of trivia and does not adequately explain and contextualize why this is a person our readers should care about. I would support efforts to improve the sourcing and writing in the body of that article. That said, I think the LEAD I wrote could certainly be improved but I think the version I have better complies with our guidelines on LEAD and so between the version by the IP and my version I suggest my version is better. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 18:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
I can agree that there are certain sections that could do with a rewrite, but just making a bulk deletion of text and removing context, information and citations is not the way to do it. — Yours, Berrely • Talk∕Contribs 18:19, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
