Disambiguation link notification for May 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Rice flour, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Juk and Green rice. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:04, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

flagicons at National dish

Hey, Scudsvlad, thanks for finishing up that tedious task! I was just coming back to do a few more when I saw you'd finished up. FWIW, it's very helpful to other editors if you use edit summaries to explain your changes. (In this case you could have said something like "completing removal of inappropriate flagicons").

Edit summaries help other editors in multiple ways. They provide an explanation of your thinking in those cases where it isn't clear, such as at Special:Diff/1027459826. Because there's no edit summary, I can't know why you believed this edit to be helpful.

Edit summaries also help prevent other editors from having to spend time checking your work, and maybe having to ask about it when they don't understand, which means they can spend that time more productively. Many editors consider the edit summary to be just as important as the edit, and because of that you'll often see edit summaries that are actually longer than the edit was. For instance, if I correct a misspelling, I might change only a single letter in the article, but I'll put "typo" as the edit summary. There's more information at Help:Edit summary.

There's a setting you can enable at Preferences>Editing>Editor that will remind you to leave an edit summary if you neglect to. I keep it enabled. —valereee (talk) 11:46, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

October 2021

Hello, I'm Perryprog. I noticed that you recently removed content from Hot pot 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 your 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.

Sources

Hello, I'm Ctrlwiki. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Honeycomb toffee, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ctrlwiki (talk) 14:34, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Honeycomb toffee, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Ctrlwiki (talk) 15:04, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: Hi! My edits didn't add or remove anything. I just moved some sentences to the relevant subsections. Cheers! --Scudsvlad (talk) 15:09, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

You change it, but you still need to provide a source, If you are sure that the information has a reference, why the source didn't show up? You can re-use the reference if you want. Ctrlwiki (talk) 15:16, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: Sources of what? I didn't add any new information. --Scudsvlad (talk) 15:17, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

If you want to stay that information, please add a citation or I will remove it. Ctrlwiki (talk) 15:20, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: I'm not following. Which information? What information that I added needs sources? Because I didn't add any new information.. --Scudsvlad (talk) 15:22, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

The information has no references a long time ago, the information should be removed already, then you move it to another section without providing a reliable source? The source still need for the information you moved, and just because you moved the info, that doesn't excuse you for not posting references. It's your responsibility to add a source. Ctrlwiki (talk) 15:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: How is it my responsibility? Please go ahead and remove the sourceless information yourself, and stop reverting my edits. --Scudsvlad (talk) 15:32, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

You should familiarize yourself with our rules in Wikipedia. Help:Referencing for beginners. Thank you. Ctrlwiki (talk) 15:38, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: I still don't see how it's on me, but thanks for removing it yourself finally. Have a good day. --Scudsvlad (talk) 15:40, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

Dalgona changes

Please propose your changes on the respective talk pages first; there are plenty of sources that say dalgona is a type of honeycomb toffee. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:29, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ohnoitsjamie: It isn't a toffee. It isn't honeycomb-shaped. --Scudsvlad (talk) 20:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

There are plenty of sources that describe it as such: [1], [2], etc. On the other hand, I guess there's no harm in forking a separate article for it. Food, especially food from Asian countries, is not an area of my expertise, so I'll let the community weigh in. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Beef Noodle Soup Page Edit

Before I escalate this issue, I want to extend my explanation why your edit has been reverted. I'm seeing a lot of your edits have been reverted in the past so please also consider reading how to build general consensus before you make any edits. Your particular comment "the edit is not disruptive; you don't need to reach consensus to edit a page" was particular worrisome and shows me that you do not know how Wikipedia community works. You are the one who changed the current consensus on the Beef noodle soup article. The onus is on you as to why you're making those edits. Please also review Wikipedia:Consensus. Secondly, what are the reasons why you're making these unconstructive edits? The only thing that you did was to categorize all the types of beef noodle soup in "East Asia", and then putting Taiwan under "Greater China" (which is a very rarely used term). By putting Taiwan under Greater China you're also marginalizing its importance. There are really two types of Beef Noodle Soup, Taiwanese vs Lanzhou, the rest of the East Asian variants aren't really commonly known as "beef noodle soup", and arguably, shouldn't even be included. That being said, you didn't add any new content, didn't add any citation, didn't add anything substantial except organized the article in a controversial way. Please explain your edits and why they are essential and why you're not trying to engage in talk page and repeatedly vandalizing the existing consensus. Thank you.Kazuha1029 (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

December 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. oknazevad (talk) 21:08, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
