European land exploration of Australia
Please provide an edit reason if reverting my edits. I have a valid reason to do so. 50.68.172.46 (talk) 05:48, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * In my view writing historical articles about the exploration of Australia by Europeans in the 19th century using an approach that is “non-Eurocentric” is not realistic or appropriate. The article is specifically written about European exploration and should acknowledge and understand the attitudes of the Europeans who lived at that time in Australia and how they saw the world around them. The people covered by the article were European explorers of what to them was new and unknown territory in inland Australia. They were people undertaking what they regarded as the genuine discovery of new or little known lands.  They had no or little real idea where they were going or what they would find.  So when they reached new lands or new rivers or mountains they were discovering those geographic features not just visiting or seeing them.  To use words such as visit or see downplays the importance to the Europeans living at that time of these individuals' achievements.  Yes, they should have taken more account the knowledge of the geography that was available to the local indigenous people, but they behaved as other Europeans around the world were behaving in those times.  So that is why I reverted your changes. --Chewings72 (talk) 08:05, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Yes, understood. That's reasonable. 50.68.172.46 (talk)

American civil war
Hi there, I would like to know how my edits to the civil war "constitute" as vandalism...??, That is not my purpose and it is rude to assume so. Jodyjoe27 (talk) 21:36, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

 * will no longer be working. This is because of performance reasons. It showed edits by new accounts. You can see this in the recent changes feed instead.
