Happy editing!

Sorry, I reverted your additions to Daniel Barenboim. Please, before you edit again, get familiar with a few basic things, such as
 * The lead - introduction - is a summary of what is referenced below, infobox the same. There is normally no need to add references to the infobox, but also not to write something - even if true! - which is not supported below. "widely regarded" is a dangerous phrase, and would require many - let's say 5 and up - sourced facts naming him so. - Happy editing, but slowly please! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:24, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Did you hear me?
I said "no reference to the infobox". I said the lead should be a summary, - please drop that "widely regarded" thing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:43, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Very general advice: when you are reverted, DON'T revert back but discuss the matter on the article talk. There you suggest to add something to the article, and give the sources, and find other users to like your suggestion - or not. The beginning is hard, sorry about that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:46, 8 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Also, just a quick question. I don't see anywhere on Martha Argerich's page where she is mentioned as one of the best and is widely regarded as one of the best pianists. Why is it allowed in that case and not this one?


 * P.S. Im sorry if I'm annoying. I just love all of Barenboim's interpretations and I just don't think he gets enough credit. Sorry, again. :(


 * I'm not sure if you see this since you're not replying... --DaDeadlyCookie (talk) 20:19, 8 July 2020 (UTC)


 * , welcome to Wikipedia! To reply to somebody on Wikipedia add  to your message. If you don't do this, they won't see your comment and won't respond. I'll do this for you here:  Ed 6767    talk!  20:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * DaDeadlyCookie, I am happy that you replied, because so far I thought I was not heard, or not clear. You are not annoying but new to a system with a few rules. One of them is not to revert when reverted, and you'll understand why: it could go no end in edit-war if permitted. WP:BRD
 * Had you just added that one line, I might have let it stand, or asked to move it below, but now you also inserted strange formatting - no surprise when new - and it looked too tricky to study which bits were good. Try to not make too many changes at once. Lazy others watching a page tend to roll-back. - My whole first article was deleted, - did you know? The beginning can be hard.
 * One point never successful is "but other articles have it". This is a project by multiple users, with multiple standards, - little conformity which is a danger and a chance.
 * You may now say exactly what you want to see changed on the article talk page, and find out what others think. I'd say that what one Isreali paper writes is not automatically a fact. I am a great admirer of Barenboim, but - admitted - find his multi-national orchestra and teaching, and his conducting even more impressive than his piano playing. I remember Schubert Symphonies in the Pierre Boulez Hall in Berlin, and him for much of the time just leaning back, listening and enjoying, - impressive!
 * I was replying but it took me a while, and then we had an edit conflict, and another with Ed, - patience please ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't need pings, btw, I normally watch. I was just slow ... --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you so much for being so understanding and for explaining all this to me! This has all been very useful for me and I hope I will be able to learn how to edit better on wikipedia! Thank you again (especially for being so patient with me ;D), and I hope you have a wonderful day and stay very safe! :) DaDeadlyCookie (talk) 02:46, 9 July 2020 (UTC)DaDeadlyCookie
