You have a serious misunderstanding of Wikipedia and what Wikipedia volunteer editors do. This is not my job; I don't get paid for it. I make edits in line with Wikipedia guidelines and policies. I am human so I do make an occasional mistake. When these are discovered, I will reverse them or delete any erroneous messages in connection with them. This does not appear to be such a case.

If you wish to understand Wikipedia and edit constructively, you should probably start with Introduction, then Contributing to Wikipedia; Wikipedia tutorial; and Getting started. It is not the job of other volunteers to research, verify and support assertions that could be questionable or that someone inserts, especially contrary to existing text, without providing sources. See Identifying reliable sources; Help:Referencing for beginners; Help:Footnotes; Verifiability; No original research; and Neutral point of view.

As for your comments on my talk page, see Civility; and Talk page guidelines. The five pillars of Wikipedia and What Wikipedia is not are also useful and guidelines for many other situations.

If you are serious about constructively contributing to Wikipedia, you can also see [Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes]]; How to edit a page; How to develop articles; Simplified ruleset; Simplified Manual of Style; Manual of Style; List of policies; List of guidelines; Manual of Style/Words to watch; [Wikipedia:How to copy-edit]]; How to create your first article; Copyright Problems; Copyright violations; Images; and Image use policy. Several other Wikipedia pages exist with other guidance; most, if not all, of these are linked from the pages I have already linked here. Donner60 (talk) 02:28, 29 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for giving a polite answer. I understand that I have acted not in a civil manner previously, but it was not without reason, although I would like to apologize for it. I understand that there are rules and I wish to follow them. What disturbed me was that after a mistake was bought into attention by my horrible editing, the same mistake was put back again. Plus my past experience has a volunteer editor for wiki from my previous account was not a positive one, which led to me behaving in such a negative way. But I really appreciate you replying in a polite manner which I didn't expect. I am extremely sorry for my previous behaviour and for all the inconvenience that I have caused you. I will go through each and every link that you have posted and will make sure I don't repeat this behaviour of mine again. Thank you for being patient. I really appreciate the way you have handled the situation.


 * I appreciate your reply. If we are making our best efforts as editors, it is to explain Wikipedia to new users and to bring them in to make constructive edits in the future. That does not work if one does not try to explain the many policies and guidelines which most people would not know exist unless they are told about them. There is no need to argue with people who are trying to act in good faith. We need to all be on the same page and try to understand and work out any differences. I am always glad when someone becomes more familiar with the project and continues to work on it.


 * While we may give some presumption to existing text, there is no doubt that sometimes it needs to be modified or replaced and, if challenged, citations need to be given.


 * I actually did take a few minutes to research this issue and found this: Wills, Jr., John E. The World from 1450 to 1700. New York, Oxford University Press, 2009. ISBN 978-0-19-533797-6. Page 39. "After the conquest of Goa, Albuquerque had encouraged his men to marry widows of fallen members of the Muslim garrison; we might wonder what the ladies thought about being treated as part of the conquerors’ loot. Albuquerque’s action often is seen as a sign of a relatively relaxed Portuguese attitude to racial mixing, and the result all along this coast and in Sri Lanka was the emergence of a substantial “Indo-Portuguese” population, mixed in racial heritage and Catholic in religion, uniquely blending heritages of culture and custom." Retrieved October 29, 2015. . Of course, we do not know whether the original author got the idea for the disputed language from this or from some other source. It may, or perhaps may only partially, support the sentence at issue. Also, I think you may be more concerned with a more limited group of people who seem to be included by the general language and perhaps should not be. Donner60 (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Canadian French into French language in the United States. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:06, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing it out to me Diannaa. This was the first time I copied it and thank you for providing the attribution, which I didn't. I will make sure to provide attribution in future. Thank you.
