Your contributed article, バイチョイ


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, バイチョイ. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Bai choi. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Bai choi. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 10:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Toughtofu! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

 * Regarding the edit you made to Spain that has been reverted, that information is out of place in such a general article anyway. Wikipedia is not a news service, and the matter of one action taken by Spain in regard to Palestine is at a level of detail much lower than the summary information contained in the "foreign relations" section. At least, in my opinion, "Does the country recognize Palestine?" in a context where we aren't already talking about Spain's recognition of countries in general gives that question undue weight.

Vietnam War
I think in the Vietnam war infobox, we can change communist’s casualties from from “1,100,000” to “850,000 - 1,100,000 (of which, 30-40% were non-combat dead” (because we don’t know how many dead, thus we need the range of estimate, and 30-40% is signification rate). Can you help me?2001:EE0:4A61:8A10:2563:80AF:6AEA:D27E (talk) 10:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia's policies on close paraphrasing
Hi, it's GreenLipstickLesbian again. I've notices several of your edits have violated Wikipedia's copyright policies, including those on close paraphrasing. You're making a lot of constructive edits as well, so I wanted to make sure you know what close paraphrasing is and why it's an issue. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, or ask at the teahouse! Your account might be older, but the editors there are really good at explaining policies like this. Happy editing!
