Teahouse comments
[edit]Hello. I thought (by way of encouragement) that I might paste in my reply to your recent post at the Teahouse:
- @Editingwork8: (back again) ...because Wikipedia attracts an inordinate amount of vandalism by silly schoolkids and other bored individuals, we have various automated tools to revert to most obvious bad faith edits. Content deletion is one such common form of it. The 'bots' aren't always 100% correct (just as humans aren't either) and I think in this instance the bot was wrong. It left an automated edit on your talk page, with a link to enable you to report this as an inappropriate revert, with instructions to then repeat the edit. I would support you doing that, as it's clear there are ongoing and sensible attempts to remove 'fancruft' (trivia) from the article. You did the right thing asking here; when it comes to another human doing something you don't understand, it's often best to directly approach them {politely) on their talk page and ask for clarification of what you did wrong. Not possible with software, of course.
- On a different note, it's great to see you as a qualified librarian wanting to contribute to Wikipedia. Are you aware of this project bringing museums, libraries and Wikipedia together for the greater good? Or the #1lib#1ref hashtag - a worldwide event encouraging librarians to add references to articles (see here for more). Finally, I note your talk page says you're interesting in adding content to start and C-class articles, but don't forget the 'STUB' articles which are even shorter and need more TLC, but reward you with easy improvements You can find them via so-called 'wiki-projects' which are simply editors with common interests working to improve that one topic area. Each Wikiproject usually has a table showing the number of articles relating to it, both by importance (low to top) and also by quality assessment (Stub to Featured Article). So, at that Projects's first section (Article quality assessment) I see there are currently 2,525 stub articles, of which 763 have been assessed for their 'importance' to that project. I then note there are 69 stub articles deemed as 'High Importance' which could be worked on first to greatest effect. Just click on the number to see a list of those articles ((example). Browsing through them reveals pages like the Ailefroide which have no inline sources, and just one external link. These are the things that some editors get real motivation from when they find topics that interest them and appreciate that they can easily improve the encyclopaedia. That's a really empowering feeling. Good luck in all you do. Nick Moyes (talk) 19:55, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
@Nick Moyes, I'm glad that you found my edit done right. I didn't know about this project, but soon will discover and contribute to that. Yes, I'm looking up to 'Stub' articles as well. I'm here for improvements and will do my part in delivering my best as a contributor. Thanks for guiding me and considering my worth on Wikipedia. Really grateful and looking for more friendly and supportive Wikipedia contributors like you in future.

[edit] Hi Editingwork8! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Please don't mark as minor when you're ADDING sources. Graywalls (talk) 07:12, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Graywalls. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, AAR type A switcher truck, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Forum posts can not be used as a post. Graywalls (talk) 08:35, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Please look through the things I have reverted. When you add a reference to something, the source needs to directly support the contents you're adding to support rather than being generally related to the topic. Graywalls (talk) 08:42, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
Graywalls Ok. I'll take care of that. Thanks for guiding me

[edit]The sources you have been recently adding are questionable and certainly not reliable - please review WP:RS. GiantSnowman 10:49, 8 October 2020 (UTC) @ Giant Sure, thanks.
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Editingwork8. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Kunal Lalani (1), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:15, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
@Theroadislong Thanks for guiding me. But, luckily I'm free from any connection that leads to Kunal Lalani. Hope you get it clearly and won't repeat the same in future.
