Hello, I'm Whatsupkarren. I noticed that you recently removed content from Manatawny Creek without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Manatawny Creek, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. ''Your explanation is inadequate because the translation presented in that source is objectively very similar in tone to the 2009 translation. Please highlight any further problems with the source or its authors on the article's talk page.'' Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI converse &#124; fings wot i hav dun 06:18, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
 * My apologies, it appears you are right on principle. However, next time it would be better for you to include a source which does state why the colonial etymology is wrong rather than summarily removing it, lest you immediately get reverted again.

Manatawny Creek
Hey there! I know it blows seeing wrong information on Wikipedia, especially when it plays into crappy stereotypes like the "drunken Indian". I want you to know that after seeing your edits to the Manatawny Creek article, I did a little poking around and found some better sources that support the correct translation and make clear that "place where we drink liquor" is an incorrect and outdated translation. I left it in there rather than removing it entirely because I think it's important to show the errors of the past rather than concealing them and pretending they were never made. Thank you for getting involved in making Wikipedia a little more accurate :) Have a good one. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 06:45, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
