Discussing your edits

Hi Operator873. I see you recently reverted my edits with respect to the classification of Falun Gong as 'modern' (notice that I was actually doing a partial revert of a change made a few days ago). You're correct that the practice was first publicly taught in 1992, which is certainly modern. But perhaps you missed the fact that it claims an ancient lineage. Some 'qigong' practices in China (much like yogic practices in India) date back millennia, having been passed down orally through generations of masters and disciples, typically in private. Falun Gong claims a similar lineage, and this is not a claim that we can test one way or another. Therefore, just as we would avoid buying into the branding of Falun Gong as an ancient practice, we should also avoid unilaterally declaring it a modern practice. Best to remain agnostic. Anyway, this was my rationale, so I hope you'll consider undoing your reversion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:A6A0:E42:2C97:AE7D:6731:EFC1 (talk) 03:00, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

@2607:FEA8:A6A0:E42:2C97:AE7D:6731:EFC1: I understand that "qigong" is an ancient practice. I also understand "Falun Gong" identifies with and claims connection to qigong. However, that claim doesn't make itself ancient. Case in point, would we refer to a modern hammer as an ancient tool since our ancestors used rocks as hammers? Falun Gong is a modern development based on an ancient concept. I'd suggest further discussion take place on the talk page. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia and don't be afraid to be bold!

Pending changes

Hi Operator873, I see that you have recently been granted the Pending Changes reviewer permission. Please ensure that you do not accept edits that add unsourced content to BLPs, especially in articles that have been protected specifically to prevent such edits. I unreviewed your acceptance of this edit as it introduced unsourced material about a future role and also broke the template. Thank you, --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:53, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

@Ponyo: I truly appreciate the oversight you provide in this environment. I was working an unusual overnight shift and wasn't at the best of my game at the time. I had intended to accept the change, then add this [1] article as a source for the change. I apparently was distracted and forgot to add it. At this point, I believe it's a moot issue though as there have been additional edits since then. As a general rule of habit, I try to verify changes and add sources to the change, if it is accurate. I apologize for the dropped ball. That is thoroughly my fault. Operator873CONNECT 20:05, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
I hope you didn't take my note as criticism, it was only meant as a reminder as these things do slip through from time to time. Thank you for all that you do here.--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 20:08, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
I will always welcome criticism. A tree does not grow strong in the absence of wind. That being said, I didn't take your messages as anything other than a "heads-up" and thought it was quite polite and cordial. Operator873CONNECT 20:16, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Concerning User talk:2602:304:CEBF:8650:5098:759E:40E0:34DF, Re: October 2017

Just to let you know, I DID leave an accurate edit summary as to why I removed content from Major film studio ("Removed unnecessary reference for LGE, as LGE is no longer listed as Lionsgate's parent"; FYI, LGE=Lions Gate Entertainment). It's not my fault that you didn't see that LGE was removed from the table as the studio parent for Lionsgate Films & replaced with Lions Gate Motion Picture Group. Now, revert a completely valid edit of mine again, & I will report your actions as article vandalism. 2602:304:CEBF:8650:5098:759E:40E0:34DF (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Changes on M or F?

Hi Operator873,

The reason I changed the name (Kieran Verret -->) on the M or F? article is because I am Kieran Verret, and I prefer to go by K. Alexander Verret. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.198.99.255 (talk) 21:27, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the edits you reverted at the above were made by a serial non-WP:CIR editor who regularly edits 'aristocracy' type pages and is well-known to the volunteers at the help desk. Has an account but edits both from that and multiple IPs equally. They had already come to the HD for help (does so very often). Just wanted to let you know as your edit may be also reverted so we can fix up. Cheers, Eagleash (talk) 02:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

@Eagleash: I sincerely appreciate the message! I'm sorry if my AGF revert interrupted the process. Let me know if I can be of any help regarding this editor or any other editors. Operator873CONNECT 03:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
No problem. I've edited the page as our chum wanted I think. Nearly got into as big a muddle as they do! They come to the help desk all the time with the same errors...usually "ref No. X is all wrong, please fix" No matter how often they've been told what goes in what param. nope, just types away... :) Eagleash (talk) 03:26, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Howdy! I just made a small change in the beginning of `Time signature`, mainly because the Double-Time link seems to be obsolete, since it`s been merged with Half-time.

Latest revision as of 22:43, 23 November 2017 (edit) Operator873 (talk | contribs) (General note: Removal of content, blanking on Milton, Massachusetts. (TW))

I am new to editing wikipedia, so this was somewhat of an experiment. I removed the "T.S. Eliot attending Milton Academy" entry because that belongs on the school's alumni list, not the town's list of notable residents. T.S. Eliot was from St. Louis and resided in England. It seems like a bit of a cheap stretch to claim him as a resident if he only boarded at Milton Academy for a few years. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.179.244 (talk) 19:02, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

@71.174.179.244: Welcome to Wikipedia! I'm very glad you are trying your hand at editing. I understand your intent with the removal of T. S. Elliot. So not a big issue. If you have any questions during your journey into editing, please feel free to leave me another message on my talk page or head over to The Teahouse where several experienced editors stand willing to assist our newest folks. Again, thank you for your contributions and welcome to Wikipedia! Operator873CONNECT 20:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

I was alerted (4 times) of edits that I did not make to "Richard C. Tallman," a page I have never heard of, let alone edited.

Alert 2, 23:58, 29 November 2017 (UTC): "Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis, as you did to Richard C. Tallman..."

Alert 3, 00:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC): "Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Richard C. Tallman, you may be blocked from editing..."

Alert 4, 00:05, 30 November 2017 (UTC): "You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Richard C. Tallman."


This is inaccurate. Please correct.
