What is "constructive"?
Thanks for your message. I'm just curious to know why supply of a requested citation and ensuing refinement of a sentence to better reflect a critical appreciation of the accuracy of its sources might not be considered as "constructive". This related to recent minor edits to the article "Professor". Any ideas? Protestant Revival (talk) 21:55, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

The paragraph you added most definitely is not constructive as it appears to be your opinion. Jackfork (talk) 22:18, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Jackfork. Can you please define "constructive" in a more objective way than simply that which is most definitely not what might appear to be my opinion? I supplied supporting references and tried to separate fact from fiction. Protestant Revival (talk) 07:52, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

When I get a chance I will revisit your edits later today, but from what I remember your edit had several problems. Jackfork (talk) 13:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks Jackfork. I made a subsequent edit pursuant to your suggestion in your message to me that I seek guidance from Teahouse. I am currently discussing this with "Limit-theorem". Protestant Revival (talk) 17:32, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Had a quick look at the para you added and it doesn't belong where you put it under the, In fiction section. If it belongs anywhere. I also saw in your msg that you were working with Limit-Theorem which is good as I'm very pressed for time. In short, and I'm only talking about the one paragraph it is either just your opinion on the new position or is original research. Your reference didn't appear to support what you wrote. These comments only relate to the edit I reverted and not your later ones. Which while much better still use buzz words that draw scrutiny. Jackfork (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your further reply. "Limit-theorem" last asked me to use the talk page of the entry but no further response there as yet. I had last attempted to create a new section that related to "non-academic" real-life individuals using the title "professor", since other examples in the article (such as saloon players and puppeteers) were arguably equally misplaced. "Limit-theorem" thought this was incongruent but hasn't yet suggested what would be less incongruent. However, if the issue is "buzz words", is there any guidance on a list of words that should not be used in articles? Or is scrutiny necessarily a bad thing? I appreciate that you are limited for time but I am just trying to improve and update an article where I can assist with the parts of the article that need supporting references ("citation needed"), as flagged up at the top of its page, and this seems to have in turn drawn attention to other perceived incongruities, as reflected in the Teahouse discussion but without a clear consensus overall on what is acceptable.

Incorrect revert
Aya mate you did a wrong revert and now I’m proper down. Mental health has not been my friend lately and this ain’t helped. I edited kingsclere page with good info and would love it if you stopped reverting my edits Ppthe dog (talk) 22:50, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
