Edit summaries[edit]

are meant to be very brief - and are not a place to make statements about sources, or content - best on the article talk page. Very few if any editors or readers are going to try unpack an edit summary to work out what you are up to. JarrahTree 04:36, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus[edit]

Hello Ashleigh. Thanks for all your hard work on those religious topic articles. Whilst editing you might want to check the spelling of "consensus" – it is consensus with an S and not ~~concensus~~ with a C. The way I remember it when I get confused (i.e. which is not infrequent) is that in terms of its roots it is like having consent rather than having something to do with the census, tempting though this is! I do hope that this helps, and I wish you Happy Editing! Cheers DBaK (talk) 15:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, shoot! Thank you very much!

You are v v welcome! Cheers DBaK (talk) 22:03, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Dead" links[edit]

Please don't delete references simply because a link does not work for you. See Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Preventing_and_repairing_dead_links. Dead or not, the reference is a record of the citation originally used, and important information for anyone who wants to fix or replace it - even if you do not/can not. By deleting it you leave no easy audit trail for future users to follow when investigating/repairing/replacing. Thank you. -- Begoon 12:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I'm very sorry as I was taught long time ago that this is the go-to procedure. Learnt something new today, thanks mate!. AshleighHanley82 15:50, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. If you check now you'll see I was able to add an archive.org link to rescue the reference at Quran:[1]. Cheers. -- Begoon 14:13, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edi summary space[edit]

Is not where to leave detailed explanation - edit summary space is lost effectively after the next edit - always better to put complex explanations that take more than 4 words - onto the article talk page... JarrahTree 07:27, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please make an effort not to clog up edit summary space - as it is not easily found after later edits, it is always truncated. JarrahTree 02:59, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Force of habit, apologies. In the german wikipedia page this is welcome due to a stricter page policy, where I have been told to record my "way of thinking and the respective steps and sources with explanations" as this would be easier for the mods/admins. I see the english Wiki works different. I will try my best to shorten the edit summary space. AshleighHanley82

OMG my commiserations, no need to apologise - just one language wikipedia is sufficient for my diminished faculties, gesundeheit! JarrahTree 05:20, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You really made me laugh, for the first time ever on Wikipedia. As a trivial fact: you can not imagine how, in (not so) rare occasions, 2 (supposedly) identical articles dealing literally with the same topic can differ big-time from one another when you just go from German to English or vice versa. Sometimes the irony in all this is beyond my comprehension, and leaves me with a de-facto feeling of desperation. But as Razi, in a very simplistic and yet aptly way described this phenomenon: "humans differ", I guess so do their point of views, regardless of an objective attempt. Grüße gehen raus werter Kollege/werte Kollegin. 🙋‍♀️ AshleighHanley82

There is a lot to laugh about in the right places... there are a few Ozstrylian editors who have competency in German, but they do not relate the funny bits about that... JarrahTree 09:17, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2019[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

You're leaving your name somehow, but SineBot has been filling in the date and time afterwards. Instead of (not in addition to) your user name, please use four tildes, ~~~~. When you save, they'll be transformed into your name with links to your Talk page and your contributions and the date and time of your save. Largoplazo (talk) 19:22, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is my new mobile tab that is, to put it simple, problematic. Let us give it a try. AshleighHanley82 (talk) 19:31, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Galaxy Tab? The on-screen keyboard should have a key toward the lower left to switch to a symbols keyboard, and then there'll be a button reading "1|2" letting you switch between two symbols keyboards, to get to whichever one has a tilde. Then the button for the symbols keyboard will now read "ABC", and will take you back to the alphabetic keyboard. Largoplazo (talk) 19:38, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Largoplazo (talk). Much appreciated. AshleighHanley82 (talk) 17:12, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Issues with Koreangauteng[edit]

The issues with the particular editor are becoming pretty cyclical by now. The problem isn't just with his sources, but also with the fact that he refuses to acknowledge that his sources (such as YouTube videos and avowedly Christian apologetic pages) are unreliable as pointed out by many editors. Instead he chooses to believe that the concerns mentioned are simply ways of dismissing critics of Islam. Moreover, he also seems to believe that there is a concerted effort to suppress criticism of Islam both on wikipedia as well as in the mainstream media, leading to his excuse that reliable criticism of Islam is hard to find, hence his special pleading for his sources. Added to this are accusations of taqiya, kitman and COI against certain editors or even wikipedia in general. In my view, all of this borders on a conspiracy theory. I could provide evidence for these claims but mobile editing is a bit difficult for me and I believe you have personally witnessed these claims.

In any case I do recommend that an administrator be informed of this issue. Otherwise the series of editwars complemented by lengthy, repetetive arguments on various talk pages is sure to continue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.152.156.92 (talk) 11:15, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the edits of said user are contrary to the guidelines and tend towards fringe theories. Similarly to you I'm also editing on mobile. Maybe we both should try to inform an admin. AshleighHanley82 (talk) 17:20, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
