Revert?
Wondering why this was reverted... what is wrong with using the flag template?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ross_rifle&diff=prev&oldid=1220224812

I truly am wondering about this.

 * See Template:Infobox weapon Loafiewa (talk) 21:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you! i guess Canada would have been better than a flag/flagicon Old &#x1F4A9; 404 (talk) 01:58, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Would be nice for you to add or point to the why when doing the revert, at least i would, for everyone's sake Old &#x1F4A9; 404 (talk) 01:59, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you have any ideas or explanations about why the weapon ingobox template doesnt want flag and specifies it yet other like Template:Infobox_military_person doesn't mention it.
 * sorry this might seem like stupid questions but wp isn't that straight forward to find info and explanations about things.

 * Template:Infobox person has deprecated flags too. This is explained at MOS:INFOBOXFLAG, which I did link to with my original revert. Loafiewa (talk) 17:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Indiscriminate reverts
hi. you undid my edits on the battle of Wuhan page on the basis of me editorializing my content, but i don't understand why you had to revert all my edits because of a few choice words i used. some of the content i put in there was super important, like the Jiujiang Massacre which is an established fact in outside sources like Mackinnon and Mitters works, but has no references on the battle of Wuhan page.

can you explain why you removed these edits? for something as major as a "mini-Nanjing Massacre," this content shouldn't be removed over a few words I used. I also see that you're a fan of the japanese military, and I don't want to make assumptions, but I want to know where you stand on this. thanks. Wahreit (talk) 19:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)


 * also if the issue is over terminology, i'm willing to edit out the problematic language. i just don't understand why it was necessary to remove all the additional content Wahreit (talk) 19:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not just a few words, if it were, then I would have altered one or two sentences, which would be the easier solution. The content added would need a fundamental rewrite in order to remove the issues of editorialising, unsourced OR in places, and not adhering to an WP:IMPARTIAL tone. I'm going to ignore your last comment, as I don't see how "asking where I stand" is constructive in any way, unless you're accusing me of being a denialist. Loafiewa (talk) 21:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * if thats the case then i can do a rewrite, but i still fail to see how this would qualify as editorializing when most of my writing was quoted almost verbatim from scholarly works on the subject. also, if there are any problems in the future, please specify any areas of improvement rather than indiscriminately reverting edits i took time out of my day to make. its not very fun reading and writing about japanese atrocities.
 * as for the final comment, i genuinely didn't know if you were a denialist. removing an entire section about the jiujiang massacre, which is an established fact, seemed strange to me because there have been some problems with disruptive users on other second sino-japanese war pages. i didn't mean to offend you, it was purely for clarification.  Wahreit (talk) 22:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If you don't like reading or writing about this area of history, then you don't have to, it's a volunteer project. But if you are going to edit further, then comment on content, not the contributor. Loafiewa (talk) 16:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Loafiewa, reopening this discussion to apologize for the tone used in this discussion. Having gotten some more experience with wikipedia and its policies, i understand this was the wrong way to initiate a dialogue. Wahreit (talk) 17:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

May i know why my edit was reversed?
i added a sub category for the Al-Ghoul rifle as its a variant of the styer anti material rifle i listed sources and proved what i listed was correct so why did you revert it? is talking about said rifle not allowed on wikipedia or should i have made a seperate article for it? though that would be greatly unnecessary Waterlover3 (talk) 12:27, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * It contained a copyright violation, and also used a deprecated source. Loafiewa (talk) 16:53, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
 * alright thanks whats the source exactly though? Waterlover3 (talk) 17:30, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

STOP BEING IN AN EDIT WAR IN THE CZ SCORPION EVO 3 ARTICLE
you aint above the law you have reverted 3 edits by lemadoros which would lie into being in an edit war. you yourself actually have threatned to block me from editing over 2 undos yet you have 3 undos yet you dont recieve jack shit. hamas have verified their claim by posting 3 pictures of the CZ scorpion EVO 3 in their tunnels and due to their past of using whatever they capture, they do qualify as a legitimate user of said rifle Waterlover3 (talk) 12:01, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

disagree with reverts
hello. i've re answered your massage sent to me yesterday. i wonder if you have read that. i think i've fixed the problems you pointed out so i disagree with your action of reverts. you just said that i didn't make any changes in today's edit. but in fact, i've changed the expression in 3rd paragraph so it won't be contradictory any more. Please read my massage before. it is under the massage you sent to me yesterday. if you have further questions, we can discuss. Jaimnk (talk) 12:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
