How and where do i attach a scan to prove my edit please? Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Jack Wong Sue, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 02:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hillelfrei. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to File:Passage receipt paid on Board Ship to Captain of Himalaya by Stow-away in 1974.pdf—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thanks. Hillelfrei ^talk 04:40, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

You can ask the question I just reverted on the Teahouse, which I see you have used before. I would answer you myself, but images are not my specialty here so I'm not sure.Hillelfrei ^talk 04:42, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Jack Wong Sue

Hi there - it doesn't work to remove the section about Lynette Silver's claims about Jack Wong Sue, as the article then mentions the rebuttal. This makes no sense without the claims being listed. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 17:08, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

Adding a quotation from when this was discussed on the article's Talk page: " we have reliable source reporting claims that Jack Wong Sue embellished his war records and we have a reliable source reporting his family's response to these claims, so let's include both - anything else would be censorship."

Triumph Banjo (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Hi tacyarg new here I'm not sure if i'm writing in the correct place but thanks for your help.Unfortunatly the reliable source is claiming Jack Wong Sue is a Lier which is a big difference to being an embellisher.To claim the Author Sue lied is implying he purposely had intent to deceive. His memoirs that's referred to by Silver I have read thoroughly, the start of Sue's book he explains 50yrs have passed and he apologies for any errors in times etc. You could not possibly call the man a lier, it's not possible to prove the intent to deceive, hence I feel classing a news paper article as a creditable source when there's no proof just accusation not creditable. I have read through the reference section which has an investigation by a company specialising in exposing the truth or at least bringing the facts to the fore.This appears to be very thorough with facts dates documents witness reports. Looking at both, one view is an accusation, the other are documented facts. It's obvious to me one is credible the other is not. Does a newspaper article make an accusation reliable? I'm not sure what to make of this site, is there a need for factual truth or does anything go if you can get it into a news paper? Thanks for listening.

Hi there, thanks for your response. The article seems to me to be reasonably balanced in presenting Lynn Silver's view as just a view - giving the link to the newspaper article but leaving it up to readers to make up their own minds. The best place to discuss it is on the article talk page - go to Jack Wong Sue and click on Talk near the top left of the page. You will see there has been some discussion of this already. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 13:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)Ok thanks I may be getting the hang of this but don't hold your breath. Is it ok to write here or is it better when discussing theist go to the page itself and click talk? I think when I do that I'm not sure where to stat the text HELP

I don't think it gives just a view it states official archives proved he lied and then gives a list of his so called lies, if the article was suggesting he made mistakes it implies something completely different, A mistake has a completely different connotation A Lie on the other hand becomes an attempt to deceive, this implies the person has low morals and questionable principles anyone who read that a person made a mistake would have a much different impression of someone's character than if they were told he or she was a lier. If I made a mistake here which I have a few times I would hope it would be seen as a mistake and not that i was a lier. Where do i look to find the original author of this part of jack Sue's page/ Silver's article?Triumph Banjo (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi again. Looks like you found the talk page and yes, I think it is better to discuss there as more interested editors will see it. I think the Silver material was originally added in 2010 in this edit by Grant65, but it has been stable material for ten years so I think there is general consensus that it is ok. Wikipedia just reports what others say (in sources considered to be reliable) so if a newspaper reports that someone has said someone else has lied, it is accurate to repeat that in the article. The family's rebuttal is also linked so that readers can make up their own minds. You might also find some further advice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Jack Wong Sue, you may be blocked from editing. KNHaw ^(talk) 03:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC) Triumph Banjo (talk) 20:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)I'm new here so you will have to forgive me for my lack of experience at this.Your tone is rather threatening why the aggression?Did you bother to read my edit summary? I thought this site is for all users to add accurate information not promote hear say and innuendo .I left a perfectly adequate explanation why I edited the page in the limited space I had, what I edited was something on your page clearly inaccurate, it was was incorrect, maybe if you read the memoirs referred to, you could see clearly for yourself it's simply not correct and makes Wikipedia look like a gossip site.In my previous edit I was informed by GoingBatty that I had left in Sue's family rebuttal which meant the section made no sense, so I took that out to correct my previous edit.Triumph Banjo (talk) 20:16, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:00, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Philbrick.I'm trying to understand how the site works, if I ask some questions that might seem simple to people who use this site and understand it I might not make so many mistakes. Was my edit mainly reverted because I copied and pasted from the article in order to highlight the son's rebuttal? If I wrote in my own words and explained some of the reference material would that have been acceptable? I'm asking because the mention of the son's explanation is very brief, I almost didn't notice it.Triumph Banjo (talk) 02:29, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
