  Hello, I'm Felida97. I noticed that in this edit to Euphemism, 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. Felida97 (talk) 21:42, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Noted. Thank you. 176.85.135.205 (talk) 20:08, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Discourse marker, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Thank you. IsaacAndHisIsaac (talk) 21:44, 22 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

That edit was not vandalism. I removed the section in question as it was unenlightening and incongruous. Furthermore, the heading (Examples in other languages) is inaccurate, as the section gives one solitary example from one language. It reads as if the writer/creator of the section were unable - or couldn't be bothered - to provide further examples. I have no desire to get into an editing war over this, so I guess it's your call. But vandalism? No. 176.85.135.205 (talk) 19:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've edited my comment above to reflect the issue more accurately. Please note removing or 'blanking' a signification portion of an article, without good reason, can be considered vandalism. You also didn't put anything in the edit summary, so this falls under Unexplained Content Removal. IsaacAndHisIsaac (talk) 00:13, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
OK, thanks for that. Will bear that in mind in future. 176.85.135.205 (talk) 18:17, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. In addition, this is the second removal of the same, sourced material that you were just recently notified about above, and may be viewed as Edit-warring. Thanks, Can you explain exactly what it is you object to, in the content about Yiddish or Hebrew discourse markers, like "nu"? Mathglot (talk) 04:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I will use the edit summary in future - thanks. Regarding the edit on discourse markers, here's the explanation (as posted to another editor): "I removed the section in question as it was unenlightening and incongruous. Furthermore, the heading (Examples in other languages) is inaccurate, as the section gives one solitary example from one language. It reads as if the writer/creator of the section were unable - or couldn't be bothered - to provide further examples." To be 100% clear: I'd have said the same if the content had been "pues" in Spanish, "alors" in French, or any other isolated example. 176.85.135.205 (talk) 18:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
