Hi, thanks for your efforts. However, please note that you cannot rely on other Wikipedia articles, especially when they contain "citation needed" tags. Wikipedia is not itself a reliable source; articles are only as good as the sources they cite. Otherwise there's a real danger of propagating errors; worse, other sites may use Wikipedia (whether citing it or not), and if we then incautiously use those sites, we're actually making up history. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:50, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Not sure what you mean by that, I'm just fixing the dates to be consistent with what the camos' articles say. A lot of them look to be misinterpretations of content in their respective article or just sheer guessing based on the name of the camo alone. --Sxbbetyy (talk) 18:53, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Covid as it relates to urban wildlife

edit

The section you are appending to in Urbane wildlife relates to how urban wildlife is in close contact with humans, hence how H5N1 would be more likely to cross over to humans. The article does state that it comes from bats, but it does not address HOW it came from bats, which is the whole point of this being in "Urban Wildlife". I repeat "The cross species jump of Covid19 was not caused by close proximity to living wildlife or urban wildlife, and specifically not birds. It was not caused by human development or expansion. The given citation doesn't remotely address these issue." It was caused by improper handling of meat products. You know my edit wasn't vandalism, and yet you posted it as such. And you didn't even bother to read my comments properly. Please give me any justification for this information being in an article relating to urban wildlife and please point to anywhere in the article any of my objections are addressed (do that by specifically addressing them).

  • Two more points. Are you claiming that bats and any other intermediaries (which you can't even identify) are forms of urban wildlife? An additional citation is required there. And whilst the H5N1 discussion fits under "Europe", Covid does not as it happened in China. Even if everything you have posted could be claimed to be relevant to Urban Wildlife you've still got the problem of it being a non-sequitor in relation to Europe. Jameel the Saluki (talk) 02:00, 17 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
I guess I have to break this down for you since there seems to be a misunderstanding on what's being said. The virus that causes COVID is theorized to originate from wild bats and it jumped species to eventually infect humans, we both agree on this. Now how do you think this species jump occurred, it would require humans having some sort of contact with an infected animal right? With that in mind your argument doesn't make any sense, unless you're trying to argue that the patient zero bat in question was a domestic animal, an animal rarely farmed/kept as a pet anywhere, let alone in China. Confusingly you also say this, "It was caused by improper handling of meat products." despite agreeing that it originated from bats. You also seem to be focused on the possible intermediary species, which is irrelevant for the question of where the virus came from. (A wild animal or somewhere else?) Here's an example that might make it clearer for you, it would be like saying the return address for a package is the place you picked it up from or one of the many post offices it went through to get to you rather than the person who actually sent it.
As for your gripes with where the information is within the article, looking at it again now I do agree. That whole paragraph itself is quite general and could apply to anywhere humans and animals share habitats, so I'll probably move it to the top section of the page where it'll be more appropriate.

Edit warring and synthesis

edit

Do not continue to long-term edit war at Team Seas for your addition of improper synthesis. Multiple editors (I can count 3+) disagree with you and have flagged/removed the content you are trying to add. Discuss and find consensus at Talk:Team Seas first.

Also, have you actually read WP:SYNTHESIS? The example there that you shouldn't do (The United Nations' stated objective is to maintain international peace and security, but since its creation there have been 160 wars throughout the world) is almost exactly what you're trying to add to the Team Seas article. Just replace United Nations with Team Seas; and wars with ocean pollution. Wikipedia is not the place to right great wrongs.

Your addition would be valid only if a newspaper or reliable source commented on this. Then you could say something like [magazine] criticized Team Seas for it's lack of impact on ocean pollution. You have to attribute opinions.

An article I wrote spends quite a bit of time criticizing Donaldson, but its only because the sources do, and I state the source + author. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
