Hello, I'm Macaddct1984. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Treaty between the United States of America and the Republic of China for the Relinquishment of Extraterritorial Rights in China—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 Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

 * Hello i made the changes to reflect the new title of the article. Can you explain what you found unconstructive about it? Clepushka (talk) 12:49, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It looks like I may have been too hasty, however the move might not have been ideal either; see how United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement is treated, for example. Please make sure to read WP:TITLE -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#124; contribs) 13:14, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Good advice. I think using the short form for the countries's names would help make the title less clunky Clepushka (talk) 13:59, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Sharing what I've learnt
Hi @Clepushka- it's taken me a while to work out all the rules of wikipedia, but thought I should point out an important one. If you set out a claim about a company you're writing about, you can't use their website for your citation. You need to find a "reliable source." There's an article about it: | here MatthewDalhousie (talk) 06:14, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not know this so appreciate it. I will see if I can find another source Clepushka (talk) 10:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hey - just noticed your good condensing edit to Currency War. Just to advise it's not stricktly true you cant use a company website to cite claims about them. It would depend on the nature of the claim. As per WP:Primary, primary sources can be used to make 'straightforward, descriptive statements of facts'. Generally we prefer secondary sources, but for certain types of non - controversal information, primary sources can arguably better. E.g., when relating what the topic says about itself, or maybe when it's info that's likely to be updated in a primary source, but prone to soon being out of date in a 2ndary.

 * Thanks for your kind words. Your advice seems to clash with the one I got from Mr. MatthewDalhousie so I will do more research into what the policy says. Clepushka (talk) 13:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
 * As I say, just sharing what I've learned! When I've done articles and used a primary source more than once, I've often got some serious feedback from senior editors. I've also found that when you are upfront about it in the copy, it is much more acceptable. So, you can say,
 * "As the organisation says on it's own website, "quote"" then that seems to be okay. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 03:28, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
