  Hello, I'm Oopsemoops. I noticed that you recently removed content from Dean Village without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia 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. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. adriana 💌 14:08, 2 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'm Mike Marchmont. I've noticed some of your recent edits, especially to articles concerning Edinburgh. While some of these are edits are constructive, I have found it necessary to undo or revert others.

For example, I have undone two of your recent edits to Cannonball House. You removed a reference to the Royal Mile from the body of the article, on the grounds that it was already mentioned in the lead. But the lead is meant to be a summary of the article; it is the body of the article which has the details. Since the location of a historic building is clearly a key fact about the building, it is right that it should appear in the lead as well as the body.

In another case, you removed a mention of a nearby building as having been "tastefully conserved" on the grounds that this was editorializing. You are correct that editors should not insert their own opinions into articles, but it is perfectly permissible - even encouraged - to quote the opinions of recognised authorities, provided it is clear that these are direct quotations (usually by putting the words in inverted commas) and that they are referenced by a reliable source. This was the case here.

I hope you find these comments helpful. Mike Marchmont (talk) 16:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
