Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Deus ex machina, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Adakiko (talk) 06:06, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey! Thank you for the message!
 * I'm confused as to what a 'reliable source' might mean in the context of giving examples for something like this. eg) When offering examples of things that are 'white' what sort of source should we site to show that an egg shell is white?
 * Thanks in advance! Look forward to hearing your reply. 136.24.75.71 (talk) 06:33, 9 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Something like the other example citations on Deus ex machina, perhaps? You should avoid chatroom comments, blog posts unless the blogger is considered an authority. See wp:user generated content and WP:SELFSOURCE for sources to be careful of. Content under editorial review such as the USA Today Avengers citation would be preferable. Editorial review would suggest that an editor is checking on stories. I suspect sources for this sort of thing, the usual wp:reliable sources rules could be stretched. You can probably avoid the plural and go with the singular unless you find more than one. You might add it as another example rather than adding it on as the topic are the Great Eagles and not the undead soldiers. Hope this helps! You can always ask if a source is good at the wp:Teahouse. Probably get a more educated answer than mine. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:55, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Nevermind.
 * I'm confused as to how one finds the distinction between an obvious example and conjecture/moving the debate forward.
 * Also - I'm not clear on why needing to site someone, anyone, who agrees with the matter is the bar for success in this context.
 * I'll just stop updating I guess. 136.24.75.71 (talk) 06:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that in this edit to Sexual characteristics, 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. Adakiko (talk) 08:50, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Very frustrating - I hadn't finished my edits yet.
 * It appears I was logged out as well.
 * Please don't auto-remove and revert updates when I'm providing updates to grammar, cleaning up language, providing clarity to what was intended by previous posters, etc.
 * If you would like to have this information complete before deleting, I recommend giving more than a few minutes before removing the hard work of other people still working on their submissions.
 * Thank you for your understanding. 136.24.75.71 (talk) 08:54, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You are removing content that is pertinent to the article. Don't do that. Adakiko (talk) 09:06, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * To be super clear - I was correcting grammar in the article.
 * Let's please understand what we're reverting before over-using reversion tools that only serve to weaken this site to the benefit of whatever you gain from your actions.
 * Thank you for your understanding. 136.24.75.71 (talk) 10:35, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It's not really appropriate to tell other editors not to revert your edits. All edits are available in the history of an article, so you aren't losing any of your work permanently, regardless. Funcrunch (talk) 20:31, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You may wish to use your sandbox to figure out the wording you would like to use conducting nine edits in the span of ten minutes on one section; it's better to figure out what you'd like to say and then publish it, instead of using a live article as a testing grounds. I'm not sure if IP address editors can use the sandbox, so you may wish to make an account first.--Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) (&#123;&#123;ping&#125;&#125; me!) 12:43, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * You can use wp:Show preview to check your edits before using "Publish changes" Adakiko (talk) 12:59, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
