Response to sneezing

Hope you're having a good day. You edited Response to sneezing recently with the comment " trying to remove aggregious unsourced commentary/original research". One part of that was the Icelandic one. Where I did leave a source, the Visindavefur citation which is an article by Professor Guðrún Kvaran at the Institute for Icelandic Studies. In that article, it starts with "Fyrr á tímum" or "In earlier times" which applies to the entire act of using "Guð hjálpi þér" and then especially the 2 other following sentences.

I'm just wondering how I could have cited that better or set up the sentences better so they would not have been changed by you and called "aggregious" and "unsourced".

All the best. avalean (talk) 21:05, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

If I was overzealous and there was a properly sourced inclusion removed, feel free to put it back. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 21:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

It's ok. It's also about me trying to learn more. I'll fix it later on since it's not a very important change. avalean (talk) 21:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

The Influential Books Game, Ross Douthat

You reverted my edit to Douthat's page, where I added a list of books he says influenced him ("The Influential Books Game", Ross Douthaut, New York Times.) You called my edit "irrelevant here." I disagree; what could be more relevant to the life of a writer than the books which influenced them? I think it's a valuable edit.

No interest in starting an edit war; I just think it's very much worth noting the works someone cited as formative, especially for a writer who often writes about literature, as Douthat does. I welcome your thoughts on the matter. Charlie Faust (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

What page and what edit? --ZimZalaBim ^talk 19:01, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

What I said; I added an article by Ross Douthat, "The Influential Books Game", New York Times to Douthat's page, and you nixed it, calling it "irrelevant". I disagree, as a writer's formative works are very much worth noting, especially when a writer writes about literature, as Douthat often does. Charlie Faust (talk) 00:04, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

What I removed was an unnecessary comment about whether his diagnosis is "unrecognized by mainstream medicine". That might be something worth covering in chronic Lyme disease, but isn't essential to his biography. I did not remove any list of books; that appears to have been someone else. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:36, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, my bad. Charlie Faust (talk) 02:47, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the changes to the John 5 wikipedia page. It makes much more sense to have the no names policy in place for his children. My change which you corrected was only to try and clear up some misinformation that had been posted about his family. But appreciate this new update. BTW, I added some citations to points that had been requested and removed some info that a citation/source could not be found for and also removed a reference to a specific tour he supported as I didn't feel it was needed. I've left notes on all my edits. Would you be able to take a look. I don't want to remove the citation template at the top of the page myself and would rather an experienced editor make that call. Thanks. Have a good day! EmmaJL5 14:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
