October 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC Masjid) has been reverted.
Your edit here to East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC Masjid) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=570&v=L0nQ_FGDQSM) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:06, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! --VViking_TalkEdits 13:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Women's Declaration International. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. DanielRigal (talk) 22:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it's not commentary or personal point of view. The article as written is a smear piece. I merely added balance to two sentences. The entire article should be edited but I don't have the time right now. RebornAthena (talk) 22:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but it doesn't work like that. You can't just add wild unreferenced claims to an article and call it "balanced". There is nothing about "Yogyakarta Principle" in the reference or elsewhere in the article. I have no idea where you got that from but it is appears to be off-topic. To be honest your addition reads like conspiracy nonsense to the point where I was debating whether to issue a vandalism warning but decided to go easy as you have not made many edits.

One other thing I would also like to draw to your attention is your use of the minor edits option. You have tagged all of your article edits as minor but they are not minor. I'm not assuming any bad faith over that. People often get caught out by what Wikipedia considers to be a minor edit. If you have set the option to mark your edits as minor by default then please turn that off as that is only going to cause you trouble. DanielRigal (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Daniel Rigal: The article is several long paragraphs. I added a couple phrases to two sentences. To me that's minor. Perhaps you can define "minor" for me. Two phrases altered in a long article? In my mind that's minor.

I'm not sure why you're putting "conspiracy" in here. Very odd.

Suffice to say, if I edit further, then I'll put in copious references. Just for your own reference, Yogyakarta Principles (note typo previously as I omitted the final "s") are the widely influential principles you can find here: https://yogyakartaprinciples.org/. There's nothing "conspiracy" about it. Rights are won and lost via campaigning for legal reforms. The Yogyakarta Principles is one platform for world-wide campaigning. Women campaign for their rights too. From Mary Wollstonecraft and Olympia de Gouges through Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Emily Pankhurst and so many more. If you think campaigning for statutory change is conspiracy, well, please re-think.

Best regards. RebornAthena (talk) 23:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I already linked the definition of minor edits above. Our definition of minor edits is much more minor than people might assume without reading that definition so it is a mistake that a lot of people make. Adding two sentences is not minor. Adding two contentious sentences to advance your point of view is definitely not minor. As regards referencing, the important thing is to read WP:RS to understand what sorts of sources we regard as valid. It is also important to understand WP:OR to understand how to use sources correctly. I know it is getting on for five years old but the welcome message at the top of this page is still a good starting point for understanding this stuff.
