User talk:Joberticus

March 2014
Welcome to Wikipedia. You removed content from Wikipedia with these edits of yours to Adi Granov, but without providing a rationale for this in an Edit Summary. When removing material, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

In addition, you also made a number of other edits that were reverted the following reasons:
 * You removed the retrieval date from a citation. When a publication date is not given in a cited source, it is appropriate to provide the date on which that source was retrieved or accessed.
 * You replaced the word and with an ampersand. This is inappropriate. As indicated by WP:&, ampersands should not be used in the article body, unless part of a direct quote, proper noun, or in tables, infoboxes, and similar contexts where space is limited.
 * You replaced the name "Granov" with "Adi". Biographical subjects should generally be referred to by their surname, not their given name, as indicated by WP:SURNAME. When referring to persons with the same surname as the subject, the other persons' given name should be used, but not that the article subject.

Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Hi. Please do not blank content from Wikipedia without providing a valid rationale in an edit summary, as you did with this edit to Adi Granov, as this violates Wikipedia's Verifiability policies. If you have legitimate concerns about the article's content, then the proper way to address them is to speak openly with members of the community here, and not simply remove it. Please see WP:TALK for more on using discussion pages to talk with other editors. If you continue to blank content without discussion, your edits will be reverted, and you risk being blocked from editing. Attacksquid has already raised concerns that Granov's wife has about the passage in question, and I am currently communicating with that editor on their talk page. Just because Ms. Granov no longer organizes the convention in question (and indeed, the passage was phrased in the past tense) does not mean that removing all mention of it is warranted, as it is relevant for inclusion, and properly supported by a citation of a reliable source. If you wish, feel free to join in the discussion at User talk:Attacksquid, and we'll see if we can resolve this matter together.

Also, it is not necessary, nor good writing, to use the subject's full name at the start of every sentence or paragraph, and you added a second, redundant period to the end of the sentence in question, so there was one before the first citation and one after it. I'm assuming this was not your intention. Nightscream (talk) 15:26, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
