Talk:Siege of Malacca (1641)

Battle of Malacca
I appreciate your desire to help, but I promise you I have a vision for this article that will be fulfilled. I hope I don't sound rude saying so, but it would be easier if you didn't assist. Most of what you changed was what I intended. I should be finished reforming it soon. Again, I'm not trying to disrespect you.

Yeah I don't believe your trying to be rude but you can't tell someone to just don't edit as they see fit. This is Wikipedia, anyone can edit. And so I will edit as I see fit. But anyway, I don't think I will change most of what you will edit. Anyway please don't change the lead, I believe it is already good that way and one shouldn't change something that already isn't broken. Meaning, well-written and sourced edits. In that case, anyone can just change any article that is already good.

Also, I'm not sure what you said by "Most of what you changed was what I intended"? Are you talking about the removal of the lead? If so, you shouldn't leave a lead empty or a new heading empty even if you plan on coming back to it later. If you want to experiment, you should use the sandbox.

 * Unfortunately, I cannot get access to the original source used in the lead, and since the lead of an article should never have information not in the body, the content there will have to go sooner or later since there is no way for me to put that source in the body without directly copying what is said in the lead. You are probably right that I should have waited, though. And for your second point, I was just talking about some of the miscellaneous copy edits. I'll figure it out. Best wishes to you.

Apologies for that last reversion, I made a mistake. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 14:23, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
