List of rural localities in Khakassia ‎No edit summary Tag: Reverted
Hi, I have corrected mistake (deleted it) in  a descriptive intro for list of rural localities of Khakassia there is inserted summary description about Khabarovsk Krai, which is different federal subject from Khakassia, though both are located in Russia, geographically and administratively they are not the same EgorovaSvetlana (talk) 20:21, 24 February 2022 (UTC)


 * My mistake. It seems I need to read category descriptions more carefully. Thanks for letting me know! Quid Est Squid (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2022 (UTC)

RE:February 2022
Hi, I saw your message and I'm not entirely sure how to prove credibility. I'm Eric Weiner's daughter and I wanted to spruce up his Wikipedia page. I guess my reliable source is myself? Son.mw (talk) 04:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi Son.mw! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Unfortunately, while I think you're telling the truth, I have no way to verify that. Therefore, until information about his birthday and spouse is published in a reliable third-party source, I'm afraid it shouldn't be added to the article.

Glounthane topic changes
You removed my addition to the glounthane page I was wondering why? Chiller Brolan (talk) 13:56, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Chiller Brolan! The content you added had no citation, and it shouldn't be placed in the title section of the infobox. Quid Est Squid (talk) 14:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

I did not intend for it to be in the title section. The information is accurate and helpful coming from someone from the area Chiller Brolan (talk) 14:17, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Unfortunately, information we add to Wikipedia articles must be published in a reliable source, not just based on hearsay. Quid Est Squid (talk) 14:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam
Your "copyedits for tone and clarity" essentially reverted some painstaking copyediting, for which (among other issues) the page was tagged. Please be more careful, or more accurate in your edit summary.  Mini  apolis  20:07, 9 March 2022 (UTC)

Oh no, I'm sorry! I didn't realize the page was already being edited. I'll be more careful (and more specific). Quid Est Squid (talk) 23:05, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No apology needed; I find that it's helpful to check the page history to see if anyone else is doing something substantial at the moment. It's a long article and needs a fair amount of work, but it's an important topic and I'm working on it as part of the GOCE's March drive. Looks like you'll have fun with Anthony Perkins . All the best,  Mini  apolis  02:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Anthony Perkins
Thanks for the copy edit!—ukexpat (talk) 18:22, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Agrippona the Younger - March 2022
Hello, I removed the sourched content since the new Antium article, which I created, already give that information: I added the sourched content several years ago, but now we no longer need it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.170.105.20 (talk) 10:37, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I see. Thanks for explaining that to me. Quid Est Squid (talk) 12:57, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Nero
Hello, in the article of Nero I would suggest to redirect the place of birth of this emperor to the new article, Antium - instead of Anzio - and in addiction I would suggest to remove (modern Anzio): since modern Anzio, but also nearby Nettuno, are in close correlation with Antium.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus
Hi! I noticed you reverted one of my edits on the neonatal lupus erythematosus page and then undid it since it was a class assignment. Here is my clarification on my changes for the lead. A mother just has to have the antibodies for an infant to be born with neonatal lupus, the mother doesn't necessarily need to have SLE. My edits specified that distinction. I should have explained why I made those changes. Thanks! Spikeandwave (talk) 18:28, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, ! Quid Est Squid (talk) 20:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Francesco Datini
Reverted your revert on my contribution on further reading (sheer coincidence that I stumbled upon your yesterday's edit, went to the article for s.th. else). Let me explain why I find this tip on reading adequate: Whoever consults a wikipedia article will probably not be an expert on the respective subject. Anyone interested in Datini, who, not being a professional Reniassance historian, wants to learn more, is very definitely best off by reading Origo's book. It's THE classic on the topic. Promotion unnessecary (Whoever would "promote" the bible ?). So if you consider certain aspects/details of the language I used to be inadequate for wikipedia, please try to edit a little instead of kiccking the entire thing out. Greetings.--MistaPPPP (talk) 03:21, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. My apologies; I'm definitely not an expert in Renaissance history, and I'll defer to your knowledge of the topic. Thanks for your explanation. Quid Est Squid (talk) 13:01, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

TheTopazRuby
(In response of the User page) Hello! I'm so sorry and thank you so much for letting me know. What can I put on my user page? I have confirmed with my parents it is okay as long as it is not too specific/too personal (like very personal things which I have never posted online). Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention and I appreciate it. I've been on Wikipedia for a long time, and I do definitely enjoy it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTopazRuby (talk • contribs) 21:52, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi ! No need to apologize, I just wanted to make sure you were aware. A full explanation of what you can put on your user page is here. Have a great day! Quid Est Squid (talk) 21:57, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

Sorry!
I reverted without realising it's your talkpage, thinking it was an article talkpage, apologies. Captainllama (talk) 12:59, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * No, that's alright! I had actually just decided to remove it. Thank you! Quid Est Squid (talk) 13:01, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello Quid!
I'm new to Wikipedia and still leaning and also I need more to add to the page you've just deleted. Bwakia (talk) 12:58, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi ! Looks like that page still exists in draftspace (Draft:Betty Wakia). I recommend checking that your subject meets the criteria outlined at Notability (people) and adding citations to reliable, independent sources. Additionally, if you are Betty Wakia, you should know that it's strongly discouraged to write an article about yourself on Wikipedia. Quid Est Squid (talk) 13:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

recent revision on "neopronoun"
Good afternoon

Recently I made an edit to which you were quick to revise, stating that a stance of neutrality is necessary on wikipedia. However, such a page contains information which may mislead people into unintentionally harming the trans community. I simply made a revision based on current research and understandings of what neopronouns are and how they negatively affect trans people. As you are in favor of LGBT+ rights, I'd hope you'd not wish to contribute further to the silencing of real trans people

Thanks!

 * Hi 135...46; thanks for raising your concerns. I had no transphobic intent in my revert, and I'm very sorry that it may have come off that way. I take issue only with your addition of 'harmful' to the lead; for those that sincerely prefer them, it's the refusal to use neopronouns that's harmful. The concept of 'real trans people' is a difficult one. People who use neopronouns usually identify as a different gender than their assigned-at-birth one, so wouldn't that make them trans as well? There are those who use neopronouns in bad faith, and such use of neopronouns is undoubtedly harmful, but I don't think a few bad apples should rot the whole neopronoun barrel.
 * I may not be understanding the problem clearly enough, so if you have any corrections, please let me know. Quid Est Squid (talk) 18:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi IP. Is this about your additions to Umarga? If so, while it may be true that the city's schools attract students from nearby villages, you didn't provide a reliable source for this. If you can find and insert a reliable, independent source for this, I have no objection to restoring the content; in fact, I'd be glad to see it. Quid Est Squid (talk) 13:09, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
