Late Roman army

Hi,

You addition to this article seems factual, but it is not sufficiently well referenced. In particular information is needed in regard to the earliest use of the term as I am not sure when it started to be used, and if this was "in period". The article has a high citation level to academic publications and additions need to have a similar level of academic support. If this is unavailable I'm afraid the section may have to be removed until such time as a reasonable level of academic referencing is available. Urselius (talk) 15:17, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

This book may be of use to you:

I simply posted the introduction from the linked article. I assumed that was is correct. --Modgamers (talk) 19:11, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Adding cartridges to firearms categories

Hi, I think what you're doing is in the right spirit, but not technically correct. I have undid your changes because a cartridge does not belong in the firearm category. If you'd like to allow users to look up firearms using that cartridge, place a link to the category in the "see also" section. Cpflieger (talk) 19:50, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Coffee substitute

I don't think I reverted the edit on Coffee substitute on purpose. Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 00:54, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Then why you did it? --Modgamers (talk) 10:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

BLPs

Hi - I'm Girth Summit, an administrator here. Our BLP policy requires us to be quite cautious about how we write about living people. You need to use secondary sources to support content of that nature. Even if the description seems obvious to you, we don't interpret primary sources for ourselves. If the tweet is described in a reliable secondary source in the terms you used, that could be cited. Thanks Girth Summit _(blether) 19:40, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

It's letters... put into a line to form the words "Cultural Marxist". He himself added "#Marxism" to the tweet. There isn't much wiggle room. Even if he wasn't aware of the conspiracy theory himself, he tweeted it. That's a fact that does not go away. And, ok, you got your policy... but sorry, that leaves me speechless. --Modgamers (talk) 19:48, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Modgamers, they're not my policies, they're our policies - you're a member of this community too, your account is older than mine. We all have to abide by policy. Girth Summit _(blether) 20:00, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

I was only shortly active, mostly in the German wiki (don't even know if they got the same policy on living persons there). Still it's quite counter intuitive. --Modgamers (talk) 20:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

March 2023

Hi Modgamers! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Ranger (Dungeons & Dragons) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
