  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:27, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Tărtăria tablets

I understand your edit, but I think it needs much better sources to make such a bold statement. The swastika was used in Asia very early, and as for the cross, it's too simply a symbol to be sure when it was first used for ritual as opposed to other purposes.

Just to echo what Doug said: please make sure your edits are based on reliable sources (e.g. scholarly books or journal articles) and not self-published websites. If you're adding claims to an article, the burden is on you to back it up with a reliable source, not on others to provide "counter-evidence". Thanks. – Joe (talk) 21:49, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

They should be used to summarize your edits, not to engage in dialogue with others. Thanks. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 02:03, 3 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Renaming or retiring your account

edit

Hi Epvo. I noticed you tried to move your user page to User:Petcetbet000. Please note that this doesn't actually rename your account (e.g. all your contributions will still show as by "Epvo" in edit histories). We generally don't have user pages for non-existent users, so I've undone the move.

If you want to rename your account, there are instructions at WP:RENAME. I'm assuming this is related to the {{retired}} template on your user page, in which case please note that it's not possible to delete Wikipedia accounts, but you can vanish it if you are absolutely sure you don't want to return to editing. – Joe (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
