Ernest Hemingway
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you recent contribution to the Hemingway article. I thought it best, for several reasons, to revert your edits.
 * 1) Wikipedia is a collaborative effort to build an encyclopedia. There is no central board of editors. An enormous corpus of pilliars, policies, guidelines, essays, and precedents substitute.
 * 2) Ernest Hemingway is a featured article; one of fewer than 2000 such among the more than 5,000,000 in the English Wikipedia. Any large changes should be discussed on the article talk page before rather than after. Collaboration based on talk page discussion is how high quality, stable articles arise here.
 * 3) Among the Manual of Style requirements used here are a consistent style of citation. No mixtures.
 * 4) Sources for Wikipedia articles must be independent, reliable, and have been through fact-checking: secondary sources. Primary sources are used only in special cases, i.e. direct quotes. An email from a grandson of Ernest Hemingway is not even primary because the source is not verifiable.

I will leave a guide in the following section. — Neonorange (Phil) 19:58, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
 * On your decision to delete my edit on the Ernest Hemingway page (your reply at my talk page moved to your talk page so as to keep the exchange in one location) — Neonorange (Phil) 00:04, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Phil,
 * I appreciate that you provided feedback on your decision to delete my work. However, I do very much wish you had considered more closely what you were deleting. For instance, you tell me that I used a primary source, which you insist was an email from Hemingway's grandson. I did no such thing, John Hemingway published a peer-reviewed article in 2012, titled " Ernest Hemingway, the False Macho" in the academic journal, Men and Masculinities. Had you checked my citation, you would have noticed that I cited this article using proper formatting, and quoted from it verbatim. In fact, all of the information I used was from academically published material, so I must say I rather resent both that you did not take the time to check this, and that you felt comfortable accusing me of using improper sourcing and citation which indeed I did not. ''unsigned reply by ErnestBaum ErnestBaum 00:04, 14 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I have moved your reply from my talk page to your talk page. The purpose is to keep the exchange in one location and in logical sequence. Whenever I post to a talk page, I watchlist that page (actually, that is automatically done by the system.) I will not miss any reply or other expansion to the thread. Each successive addition within a section can be indicated by placing a colon as the first character of a new line, adding an additional colon to step-wise indent each new addition.


 * When the [Enter] or [Return] key is used, the following line must start with the same number of colons so as to maintain the proper indent.


 * Each message added to a talk page should be signed. Since you already have a user name, simply sign with a string of four tildes ( ~ ) which the system will replace with your user name, talk page name, and time/date stamp.


 * As to your exceptions:


 * I did read the material you added. I considered better placement and integration to be necessary.


 * I did attempt some investigation, including a read of some of the sources you cited and some of your contributions to Wikipedia. One of the cites linked to a very short email via a Gmail account. It also seemed that you had not been properly welcomed as a Wikipedia editor—I added a welcome template with pointers to startup references.


 * Please compare the form of the citations you used. The Wikipedia Manual of Style expresses this point much better than I.


 * Please evaluate the quality of the sources.


 * Please scan the talk page archives at Talk:Ernest Hemingway for indications of how important changes come about.


 * I'd like to suggest that a Wikipedia Featured Article is not the best way to learn the norms here. You have raised political considerations several times. This is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. This is a collaborative project among editors who rarely meet face-to-face. The project is successful. Discuss, discuss, discuss. Assume good faith. Assume good faith. Assume good faith. Avoid undue weight, apply neutral point of view, be civil and assume good faith, recognize that Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit and freely use, and that Wikipedia has no firm rules. — Neonorange (Phil) 00:04, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

List of polyamorists
Hi. Thanks for your additions, but they had to be removed. For this list, the source must explicity use the words polyamorous or polyamory to describe the subject or their relationship. Polyamory is different than open marriage, and we are not permitted to do original research or simply present our own opinion as to whether the relationship was polyamorous. This has been a longstanding requirement on this article to meet Wikipedia sourcing requirement. If you have or can find a source which is explicit about this, feel free to add them back. And by the way, lists of people are supposed to be in alphabetical order by last name. Thanks! Skyerise (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
