Minor edits on Wikipedia

Hello, I noticed your edit on the Grover Furr page.

I wanted to let you know for your future edits that "minor edit" has a specific meaning on Wikipedia - only edits which do not change the meaning of content. See Help:Minor edit for full details.

So edits such as the one you made on the Grover Furr article should not be tagged as "minor."

And of course, welcome to Wikipedia

Thank you, I am new to wikipedia so thanks for informing me. TheVictoryOfTheProletariat (talk) 22:31, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

You're welcome. JArthur1984 (talk) 23:08, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to inform you of why I made that change and why I think my change should be reinstated as the other user has reverted my change. In Furr's works, he never claimed that the Holodomor (famine of 1932-33) was a "hoax". For example, in his book "Stalin, Waiting for the truth" he never claimed the famine didn't happen, but he did disprove the claim that it was a genocide. I can't accept this deliberate misrepresentation that the other user has given. TheVictoryOfTheProletariat (talk) 10:43, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi TheVictoryOfTheProletariat! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Grover Furr several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Grover Furr, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Opal|zukor^(discuss) 07:44, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to inform you of the truth of the matter. I only reverted his change once. In Furr's works, he never claimed that the Holodomor (famine of 1932-33) was a "hoax". For example, in his book "Stalin, Waiting for the truth" he never claimed the famine didn't happen, but he did disprove the claim that it was a genocide. I can't accept this deliberate misrepresentation that the other user has given. TheVictoryOfTheProletariat (talk) 10:31, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

@TheVictoryOfTheProletariat you should still use the talk page. Doug Weller talk 13:58, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Help with Philosophical pessimism and Antinatalism#Asymmetry between good and bad things

Hello there! I see you've been quite active in some things related to the above mentioned pages. I'm pinging you @TheVictoryOfTheProletariat: directly to ask for some help. I've started 3 initiatives for these pages. If you could spare some time in the near future, could you please take a look at the proposal and voice your opinion? Of course, if you have interest, time, and energy to participate that would be amazing!

Here are the projects:

1. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal for an overhaul of the article — this initiative is already in progress. The idea is to raise the quality of the page by switching it from a mere historical account to a more encyclopedic format.

2. Talk:Philosophical_pessimism#A proposal to split the History into a dedicated page — related to the one above. The historical account is overly detailed. It would be much better to have a dedicated page for the history of philosophical pessimism and leave only a brief history in the main page.

3. Talk:Antinatalism#A proposal to create a dedicated page for Benatar's axiological asymmetry — here, the idea is to extract the axiological asymmetry argument into a dedicated page. This way, a more detailed presentation could be given. In addition, we could expand on the various responses others philosophers made and counters from Benatar. Other pages could have a brief description and link to the details page.

I hope at least some of this will spark your interest! Fantastiera (talk) 21:47, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
