Your additions to Roman Empire article

edit

Hello, Rotaci. I reverted your edits to the above for several reasons. Your information on lions and tigers in the arena was added in an apparently random manner, and interrupted the historical sequence of the article content; in other words, it didn't belong there. I'm not sure where it would belong - it's too specific a topic for any general article, such as Roman Empire - but before you consider adding it elsewhere, please carefully read Wikipedia's policies on WP:reliable sources. You additions were not well-sourced; to get an idea of what's acceptable, click the link provided, then try looking at the references and sources already used to justify the content of the Roman Empire article. Thanks for reading this. Haploidavey (talk) 23:43, 24 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

This makes no sense, majority of the each portion of the page is not well sourced or has to go through consensus, should I start erasing half the page and then say find better sources or its not relevant? When you it is not well sourced please be specific, if it doesn't belong, find an area it suits best, because this page does not really have a chronology in its self.

Thanks for your message on my talk. Your enthusiasm is admirable; but I suggest you carefully read through Wikipedia's policies, take a look at some of Wikipedia's better articles within the field of ancient Roman culture, see what's required in terms of competencies, and then try out your editing skills in a sandbox (as a registered user, you have one to yourself). And do take your time - better to add one small thing that's beyond reproach than to add a lot that gets reverted - there's nothing so disheartening as that. Meanwhile, another editor has reverted your edits at Roman Empire, for the same reasons I gave above. I can't suggest where else you might place those edits. "Lions vs Tigers" seems a little bizarre, imo, or at the very least narrow in scope, and the sources you've used aren't up to the standard required by Wikipedia. I urge you again to familiarise yourself with what's required, both in terms of sources, and of relevance to topic Haploidavey (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I have fixed a few issues with it, it could be shortened as well and rephrased to fit more nicely and better in the box, overall it is not like it is a massive written essay that takes up the entire page and derails from its chronology and narrative, it is just a small peice on the side lines to give a insight of one of the roman gladiatorial games they once had. I see no reason why the trigger happy removal for it with false accusations of blogs and unreliable sources, they are first hand accounts, you cannot get more reliable than that.

I see that the material you added has now been reverted not merely once but several times, and by several editors. There seems to be a clear consensus against adding it. And not one of those editors is being "trigger happy" - they're simply applying the principles of good encyclopedic writing. Please don't restore the material again; and don't be in too much of a hurry. Just wait for further comments at the article talk-page. Haploidavey (talk) 00:16, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Cool, I fixed it, I think it looks more concise that way. I will leave it up to others if they would like to feature it on there. Thank'a Rotaci (talk) 00:20, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet investigation

edit
 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bernate, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. Justeditingtoday (talk) 00:51, 25 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
