November 2022[edit]
Hello, I'm Silikonz-alt. I noticed that in this edit to Cuisine of the Midwestern United States, 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. Silikonz (alt)💬 21:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Don't lie. I explained every in a series of edit summaries including it was sourced to blogs, it was sourced to pizza places, or it was without sources for several years. Why does everyone add citations then? That is an important part of Wikipedia for me. I joined to help. Your edit also undid other edits of mine without explaining why. Some of the content that was removed I am simply about to restore having seen it was not in the sections I thought it was in. Rosegallow (talk) 21:32, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- It is uncivil to begin a reply like that.
- I am going to post something on the article talk page because there were a number of sweeping changes, some of which make sense (like citations to a specific restaurant) and some cited content was removed I don't understand (what seem to be good sources, and content mentioned in another section - which doesn't make sense if it's a different region). I would say that it's generally better to tag sentences with {{better source}} but in this case there has been a lack of interest in cleaning up the page, so not so helpful perhaps in this case.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:27, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- I thought about it too, and I'm not sure if extension programs specific to a state are good sources for the background of the whole region. Tagging it "better source" as you suggested could be helpful. I'm looking over the edits again now with some better sources I've found. Happy to discuss it more on talk.Rosegallow (talk) 23:46, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
