Osteopathy definition being not neutral

Hello,

The current definition of osteopathy shown on Wikipedia is not neutral, and is extremely biased against it. This is why I defined in a completely neutral way, but this has been rejected. Please explain what part of my definition was not neutral, as opposed to the complete biased definition currently on the page.

Many thanks, 89.213.14.35 (talk) 13:21, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't believe it matters, as my revert was based on your unreferenced opinions on the matter, and I concluded that you were not adhering to a neutral point of view (as per WP:NPOV). If you wish to rewrite parts of the article, please do so with cited sources - and consult with other editors in the talk page. REDACTED403 (talk) 13:29, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

What I wrote was a completely unopinionated definition… 89.213.14.35 (talk) 13:39, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I disagree, but even if it was - you still provided no sources WP:PROVEIT REDACTED403 (talk) 13:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Source

I don't think lack of a reliable source is the problem here. It's just vandalism. Drmies (talk) 13:25, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Based on this prior edit I'm inclined to believe you. I assumed at the time that it could have been a good faith mistake - i was wrong. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:33, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

OK--thanks. I checked the filter log too and blocked them. Drmies (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

MOND

Can you please attempt to explain what about this phrase is in any way shape or form considered "less than neutral" ? This study was refuted by Banik and collaborators in a rigorous and highly confident manner. ChrisletWiki (talk) 14:14, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

I reverted the edit as the use of "rigorous and highly confident" seemed to come from a non neutral place. Unless some other secondary source called it that, I don't think it follows wikipedia policy (WP:NPOV) to refer to the source as that. Let me know if I misunderstood your intention. -REDACTED403 (talk) 14:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Then just remove the phrase, not the source or intent. ChrisletWiki (talk) 14:23, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Indeed. I apologise for being too hasty and not assuming good faith. -REDACTED403 (talk) 14:26, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

aborigines and subincision

The scientists never could explain the ritual of penil subincision and splitting of the aborigines. But each ritual of all volks have real and practical causes and benfits, also this extreme mutilation. The life-situation of the aborigines over thausands of years was extrem hardly in the desert with less water and food. They needed a sure way to protect before pregnancy and growing clans and so they found this very easy but sure way of subincision of the boys penis. Learning by doning! Its obviously, when you will alive it - than its suddenly crystal clear. From the desc you cant find the solve of this quuestion!

All other explainings, which are written in the literature, will be speculations, and will look a bit laughable in opposite to this existencial condition. Hannes48 (talk) 12:04, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Rollback

Hi REDACTED403. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Fastily 09:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

What is not neutral about my changes? — Precedingunsigned comment added by Care13 (talk • contribs) 12:50, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

It reads like an advertisement, please don't play dumb here, its obvious what you're doing. -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

What is Wikipedia for? These are descriptions and accurately cited. I don't appreciate the insinuation that I am "playing dumb." Care13 (talk) 12:57, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Nearly all the material you added is just verbatim from their website, which is pretty much a giant advertisement for the ministry. It is not appropriate to add content like that in that way into any article on Wikipedia. See WP:NPOV -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:04, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

So under the "Programs" section where else would you gather that information? 2601:281:D17F:2570:12EC:934A:F91F:D338 (talk) 13:14, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Generally it's best to not solely rely on one source (especially in this case, to avoid bias). You have to consider if those programs are even notable enough to be mentioned. I would start a conversation on the talk page asking for help because I don't have experience editing these kinds of pages. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:27, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Ok, will do. This is another Christian Ministry based in Colorado Springs and it seems to cite the organizations website often. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Navigators_(organization) 2601:281:D17F:2570:5EB3:B47E:222A:21A5 (talk) 16:16, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

After having my little indent removed from the Xbox page, i would love to have some improvements and suggestions for this page. Its a huge work in progress, and for some reason never went into drafts which was a big worry for me.

Pseudo-range multilateration

Hello, could you please explain why my edits are less than neutral? The previously described solutions for closed form TOT or TDOA multilateration fail to mention that they aren't properly designed for noisy measurements. The more correct solution was discovered a decade later, so I mentioned it along with several papers and advances on the topic. RChrabieh (talk) 13:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I reverted the edit because you seem to have a conflict of interest as you were part of the writing of the source you referenced - which is against Wikipedia policy. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:41, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

OK, understood. Thank you. RChrabieh (talk) 14:35, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership

I updated the page which was severely outdated. I am the Communications Manager, so I am involved with the organisation. However, since we are a small NGO I do not expect anyone else to update the page, as was the case over the last years. The information contained on the page was inaccurate, so I used information from the REEEP website to update it. If I don't, who else will? Could you please update it instead of completly deleting all my work? It is now back to being inaccurate and very old, with the old logo and wrong information. Erinstewart-REEEP (talk) 12:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Updating logos and crucial information / stats about a company is pretty much always allowed on Wikipedia, so you are totally fine to add that logo back in if you want. The corporate speak that you added in that reads as promotional and heavily biased is not allowed however. Anything else you'd like to be changed should be asked through the talk page so your conflict of interest can be managed properly. -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

ok understood - I will tone it down and make requests on the talk page directly Erinstewart-REEEP (talk) 13:08, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Edenderry Wikipedia page query

Hi there , I'm pretty new here and would appreciate your thoughts. You recently reverted my addition of an external link to the "education" section of the Edenderry page. Would an external link refering to the "history" subpage be suitable as it provides information relating to historical education at large in Edenderry? Thanks in advance 😃. Xcalliber21 (talk) 13:35, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

@Xcalliber21: That should be great! Looking at the article, you'd have to create an "External links" heading underneath the see also section and put your link there. Thanks for improving the wiki :) -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:44, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't promoting nothing on my edit...

Hi,

I recently noticed you changed my edit beacuse "promoting yourself". I AM NOT. Do you think this: Raven Brooks Online (RBO) is an upcoming game from the Hello Neighbor franchise that offers players the opportunity to step into the shoes of either the Protector or an Intruder. As an Intruder, players must strategically steal loot from the Protector's home and other Intruders while navigating through a highly emergent multiplayer sandbox environment. Developed by the creator of Hello Neighbor, RBO promises to provide an immersive and thrilling experience for players looking for a unique and challenging gameplay experience. Raven Brooks Online entered public playtesting on February 16, 2023, but was closed just 3 days later. - Is promoting my self?! This game is not on the wikipedia page of Hello Neighbor so I was just trying to put it!

Take back my edit,

Please Caiodevvv (talk) 13:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Your edit reads as promotional pr speak that the developers would put on their website to attract investors. Definitely not appropriate on a Wikipedia article -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

So, put it in but take the part that you think "attracts inventors". Caiodevvv (talk) 18:08, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Geometry Dash

Hello! I'm free to converse on how we can link the references to the page Geometry Dash/#Community. Most of the references are either community made or on a Fandom page. Please tell me ways of referencing for the page. Gloucesternairobi (talk) 12:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for reaching out. As a Geometry Dash fan myself, my issues with your addition mainly come down to the fact that Wikipedia doesn't have to include everything regarding a subject. All of the text about memes (lobotomy levels / fire in the hole) is irrelevant, especially since it will be dated very quickly in a few more months or years (as most memes are).

Other videogame pages don't have entries on memes, or specifically talking about mod loaders (like the Minecraft page). Minecraft objectively has a bigger modding scene than geometry dash, so it makes sense to give a nod to it - but it is not needed at all on the gd page.

BUT, I've found a decent source for your Top 1 heading here: https://www.pockettactics.com/geometry-dash/demonlist. I think that everything except the Top 1 content needs to be removed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! :D -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:40, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

@Gloucesternairobi: pinging you because I forgot in the original message -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:41, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I will try rework on the community page to make it more Wikipedia-standard. Thanks! Gloucesternairobi (talk) 15:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Also, i read some guidelines about video games, does this mean i can create a page for Geode? "Geode (Geometry Dash)" Gloucesternairobi (talk) 15:58, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Username (it's OK I guess)

Hi,

I was using Twinkle to revert some edits, then it said "REDACTED 403 was the last user to edit". I thought Twinkle was not working as it should, and then realized it was an actual user (you!). Nice username!

Content reverted automatically even if it's correct and adds many quality references

Hello,

I have just submitted some updates on a biography page and you've reverted all my changes even if they are correct and actually useful as they bring many references to the updated content. This content is not promotional as you can see from the text and the references, it only updates a very old biography.

Why have you reverted the changes?

Thank you. Dcgavril (talk) 13:27, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

@Dcgavril. While you do add some references, the bulk of my issue with your edit comes from the very promotional and non-neutral tone. Calling someone an "innovator", "pioneer", talking about their "passions", their "holistic" approach sounds like the person is being introduced at some conference, or their LinkedIn bio. Check out some of the links I left on your talk page for how to write in a more neutral tone, or read a featured biography -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:42, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying, I will remove the "innovator" mention and send a new edit, but you've even reverted even the simple photo update, it seems more of an issue with me and not the updates themselves, so even if you are pointing out some ways to write a biography it is not fair what you've done as I'm also losing time improving the content on Wikipedia. Dcgavril (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry bout the photo revert, that was a byproduct of how my software works. That should be fine to add back in as long as the photo is in public domain. I definitely don't have an issue with you specifically, check my contribution history to see the amount of edits I work with. Have a nice night :) -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

courtesy ping @Dcgavril -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I have just published a updated version, removing anything that might seem promotional. Anyway the update is not geared to be promotional, it's purpose is to actually update the biography and keep Wikipedia content up to date. Please let me know if this is ok. Thank you. Dcgavril (talk) 14:13, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Much better, thanks -REDACTED403 (talk) 14:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

rise of the kingdom of the planet of the apes

Shorts Fest page

The information I put in was deemed unneutral but this information I posted was just information that would better help to understand Shorts Brewing company and their mission as well as include more information about them. I would like the information to be re included. Bosshause (talk) 12:49, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

@Bosshause Wikipedia isn't the place for that kind of promotional and non neutral language. Do you work for the brewing company? -REDACTED403 (talk) 12:53, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

No I am currently trying to do an assignment for college where I add information to a Wikipedia article. What is making you think it is non neutral? I can always edit this to better help fit the standards. Bosshause (talk) 13:07, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

If you're doing this for an assignment, you would've gotten a poor mark from what you added before. We can definitely improve it though, please read the guidelines on POV fully and have another go. Leave me another message if you have any questions. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

I read over the NPOV stuff and it seems I was within guidelines. who determines what is or is not neutral? Is there anyway you can allow someone else to determine if it is not neutral? The information I included did not seem to have a bias for the company. It is just quotes from websites about the company and using them does not seem to make me feel as though I am being bias. Maybe I am wrong, but the information is true and helps provide information on the company. Bosshause (talk) 13:34, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I am currently in bed, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse is great for helping and getting answers from a few people at once. Goodnight -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:40, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Kirk Douglas

I have no idea who you are, nor why you have the authority to revoke changes made on this site. You sent a message that informed me that you revoked a change I made on Kirk Douglas's page because he is a "living person."

@2601:1c2:1b80:530:49e8:7faf:dc1e:51c0 Apologies, my warning didn't properly apply to your edit.

You should be able to go to the edit history and re add your content with sources. I'm not aware of anything stopping you from editing right now. However, the way your additions are written doesn't seem very encyclopaedic in style to me, so they may be undone by someone else if they feel the same. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Revert on Lincoln Highway

I am upset not because you reverted my addition, but because of how. I am uncertain how harsh this will read, but it's a genuine attempt to raise your awareness, not to attack you.

Your reversion comment did not address the issue I had with providing a reference. Considering that other places in the article mention, but neither cite nor link to YouTube videos, I didn't add the reference, but did explicitly mention it in my comment, and even provided the link there. Since the reliable source of a YouTube video essay is, as far as I can tell, the essay itself, just adding/editing it with the provided link surely is the more reasonable course of action, rather than outright nuking a contribution from what obviously is an amateur at WP editing. In reversion messages, I also encourage you to qualify in detail why you think the source is missing, or if you consider the provided source unreliable, at least write why it's considered unreliable. Your comment gave me the feeling of a severely bureaucratic automatic bot response without any passion, which will contribute to a suppression of content contributions to WP in the long term. I understand that there is a quantity aspect to moderation on WP, but as rarely as I edit WP, I DO put effort into it, and try to adhere to rules I know. I also try to be careful to conform to "good form", as far as I'm aware of it. I try to be concise, but try to add the information I consider appropriate for a digital encyclopedia. Expecting amateurs to read hundreds of megabytes of Wikipedia editing rules and guidelines is not reasonable, and maybe taking them by the hand is much more valuable than just kneecapping contributions because of clerical mistakes or obvious uncertainty.

All that said, I sincerely appreciate your efforts to maintain WP, and wish you a good day. 176.198.203.0 (talk) 02:10, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, I'd like to apologise for reverting your edit in the way that I did. I missed your edit message which would have clued me into your mindset, as well as the fact that you had the source right there. I also missed the in-article context of the "Film" section where your edit was, which makes it relevant and useful for readers. Finally, I also overdid it on the reversion when I could have improved the section, which is not good use of the tools I have.

I was definitely moving too fast through the edit queue and I'm genuinely sorry that I messed up and didn't slow down to read the article I was reverting, as well as for upsetting you. Thanks for the message, and let me know if I can do anything to help. -REDACTED403 (talk) 02:29, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much. I was quite anxious about even writing you, but I am glad that I did. I hope I re-added it correctly now. Keep it up, and have a good one! 176.198.203.0 (talk) 02:33, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Removal of my edit to NCDF WP article.

Thank you for your swift response and how you are trying to maintain quality on the WP platform. I would like you to reconsider your action of removing my edit to the NCDF article because i tried very hard to conform with the WP strict requirement in terms of tone and choice of words; ensuring that it does'nt sound like advertising.

I had to edit the information by adding information about new developments for the organisation and would be glad if your action is reconsidered so that i can have the opportunity to re-edit it from the top at a later date.

@Tunde ekpo Hi there, thanks for the message, I appreciate it. MOS:PUFFERY is what I reverted your edit based on, give it a read (its pretty short).
