Changes undone by Bbb23

edit

Greetings to Bbb23. You have undone all my recent changes, with no explanation besides "Not an improvement" [1]. I don't see how that's right. I spent quite a while rectifying errors, adding in Ancient Greek text from the latest critical edition of Geography, making transliterations, and updating the lists of places mentioned. For example, the text before my changes stated that Ptolemy believed in a heliocentric model of the universe (earth goes round the sun), which is the opposite of the case: heliocentrism only came about with Copernicus, and Ptolemy's model is well known to be geocentric (sun goes round the earth). This is the most obvious error I corrected, but there was lots of other material that needed changing. I made these changes, and you have reversed them, reinserting (for one) the falsehoods about Ptolemy's heliocentrism. Could you please review my changes, reassess you decision to reverse them, and provide and explanation of why you did so? I believe this might be a mistake on your part. Your change was less than three minutes after you made a previous change to an unrelated article [2], and I don't believe you can have made a properly informed decision about my changes before reversing them all and moving on. You had not contributed to this page before, whereas Taibhseoir, who had, thanked me for my changes. How can they be "not an improvement"? What about them did not improve the page?

@Bbb23: Did you not receive my message? Should I take you silence as consent to undo your change? The wisest fool in Christendom (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
