Query
[edit]Do you have any connection to the editors User:Manifest Density or User:Thomasvitins? Their editing patterns and edit summaries are so similar to yours. Thomas Vitins is Canaan's manager, he made so many edits to her page. Gareth E. Kegg (talk) 08:56, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
- No, I absolutely have no connection to the subject, nor her manager. I'm a lifelong fan who has attended many of the subject's concerts and political events. This is my only account. I have not reviewed the edits of User:Manifest Density, but I think that it's absurd to say that my edits in any way resemble those of User:Thomasvitins, who created this article; when I began editing this article—years after it was created—it wasn't much more than a subjective, error-ridden stub—a careful comparison between our edits (and also the dramatic rewrite made to this article compared to it's previous state) would clearly dispell such implied accusations. If you're not satisfied with my response, I welcome you to contact a CheckUser. WikiEditorial101 (talk) 17:23, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from VeriChip into PositiveID. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:58, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at this edit summary as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Assessment of PositiveID
[edit]In this edit, you assessed a not even 10 year old company as "High" importance for WP:WikiProject Human Rights and WP:WikiProject Politics, placing this article at the same importance as Anarchism and United States Bill of Rights. This raises at least two questions:
- Why would members of these projects be interested in editing this article?
- PositiveID doesn't really sound as important as Anarchism and United States Bill of Rights. Is your assessment a case of WP:RECENTISM?
Also, you also removed WP:WikiProject Miami citing "removing for irrelevancy". Place WikiProjects typically want to track and manage articles about organizations located in their place, so how is the WP:WikiProject Miami tag irrelevant? -- DanielPenfield (talk) 09:22, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help! I'll (manually) revert these things back to the way they were. WikiEditorial101 (talk) 15:17, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
Enki
[edit]I do not mean any disrespect towards you, but I would like to inform you that the information I wrote on Enki that you reverted is, in fact, the view of mainstream scholarship. It was not unsourced. It came straight from Samuel Noah Kramer's Sumerian Mythology. Samuel Noah Kramer is one of the most widely-respected scholars in the field of Near Eastern studies. He says nothing about Enlil being opposed to slavery, but he does go into great depth discussing the contents of the tablets and provides full translations of all the parts of the tablet that are legible. Furthermore, the information I added was not from memory. I had the book itself open as I was writing it and double-checked everything to make certain what I was writing was indeed correct.
As for your comments that I should read Zecharia Sitchin's Book of Enki, I would like to inform you that Zecharia Sitchin is, in fact, a pseudohistorian with absolutely no credibility whatsoever in the field of mainstream scholarship. He misrepresents and, at times, misunderstands, the stories he is retelling. There are a number of sites debunking what he has written. The most accessible of these sites is probably http://www.sitchiniswrong.com/, but there are plenty of others you can visit. For that matter, even the Wikipedia article on Zecharia Sitchin directly describes him as a pseudohistorian. Most scholarly books and articles do not address Sitchin because he is so far off from mainstream scholarship that there is not even an overlap between them. Instead, most real scholars simply ignore him. (By the way, I actually have read Sitchin's book And There Were Giants Upon the Earth, which I knew from the start was complete pseudohistory.) If you do not believe me, you can ask anyone who has studied Near Eastern literature and that person will tell you that Sitchin has no credibility. --Katolophyromai (talk) 11:18, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- You didn't cite your sources at all. And, again, you are incorrect concerning the narrative and the general consensus of mainstream scholarship. Furthermore, I never used any of Zecharia Sitchin's work as a source. I had simply referred you to a book for a good read, which was not in the context of my correction of your edits. Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I'm not interested in debating these issues with you, and even if I was, Wikipedia is not a discussion forum. I realize that you're a very new editor, but I'm sure you'll start to get the hang of things soon. Take care.WikiEditorial101 (talk) 16:59, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

You're probably not aware of it, but your edit-behavior is WP:DISRUPTIVE. See also WP:OWN and WP:RS. Your post at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Disruptive edits is shortcutting WP:DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Edit war on Divine madness (religion)
[edit]Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit summaries
[edit]Seriously. You can check this on my analysis of edit summary usage. "Edits with summaries: 209,682 · (99.9%)." In a few cases, rollback or Huggle might not leave a summary, I suppose, but that is because the users who made those tools set it up that way. Perhaps I have had a few edits without summary by mistake over the years but I certainly did not need your message to be careful about 0.1% of edits, some of which may have been to my own talk page or years ago. Donner60 (talk) 23:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Behindthename.com ...
[edit]... is not a reliable source. Please don't use it. For example, as you did here, where you inexplicably removed a cite to Black & Green 1992, an authoritative work on Mesopotamian culture, and replaced it with a cite to this website. Paul August ☎ 01:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Fair enough concerning the source being deemed unreliable. But if you'd been paying attention to the page edits, you'd have seen that the citation to Black & Green 1992 was a source cited by a previous editor to support the idea that the meaning of the name NIN.URTA is unknown, and that I had mistakenly failed to replace it with the so-called unreliable source that was meant to support my assertion that it is known. All of the above was thoroughly documented by my edit summaries. Now isn't that just amazing how inexplicable things become explicable when you read? WikiEditorial101 (talk) 02:26, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- I had read. But reading still did not (and does not) make it clear to me why you would use such a source in the first place? Nor why you would remove Black & Green 1992 for any reason. In any case you seem now to agree that that website is not reliable, and that Black & Green 1992 is. That's my only concern here. Regards, Paul August ☎ 14:04, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
Apology
[edit]Hi WikiEditorial101. I just wanted to apologize if we have got off on the wrong foot on the Yahshua article. I saw your changing of the source on that article, both the text and the source itself, as a deliberate attempt to change the facts. If that was not the case, I apologize. Many people have attempted to change what Elder Jacob O. Meyer has said over the years. It hurt that despite my efforts to be as truthful as I could in the article, someone had changed even the quote I introduced to something that Meyer never said. It was wrong of me to use the word doofus and it was totally out of character for me. I was angry and annoyed. I'll try to be more considerate in the future. In Citer (talk) 14:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
