Welcome![edit]

Hello, Pgibs2220, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Science and technology in the Ottoman Empire[edit]

Hi. I noticed that you re-added some content to the Science and technology in the Ottoman Empire article with a note Please do not take down. I need this to be kept up for my class. I wanted to remind you that when someone reverts your additions, you should never re-add them without discussion. First you need to stop, understand what the problem is, and correct it. Always discuss things first.

And don't worry about whether it "sticks" or not - your work is available in your sandbox and in the page history for Dr Barker to grade. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:49, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case you didn't see their edit summary, Dialectric said: "undue weight to one individual. content on Ali Qushji should be covered primarily on the Ali Qushji page; also excessive use of low quality source muslimheritage.com" in their edit summary when they reverted your addition.

The article is about a fairly broad topic, so including that much about Ali Qushji makes it unbalanced. In addition, there's a biography article about Ali Qushji - the Science and technology in the Ottoman Empire shouldn't duplicate content about his life. What it could do is weave mentions of him into the relevant parts of the bigger story, but only to the extent that he's one of the key people in those areas. The only way you'd have a section specifically about him in that article would be if he had an overwhelming influence on Ottoman science and technology. I just don't see that here.
