Thanks for your interest in the elephant article. I feel like you should work more on your paraphrasing of sources. They are too close. See Wikipedia:Close_paraphrasing. LittleJerry (talk) 18:51, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice, I will do so. Xan747 (talk) 18:53, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

I noticed you forgot to close the edit request after marking it as "not done", nor did you sign your response. Don't worry, I already closed it for you, but I recommend the use of this tool in the future since it makes the response process easier and helps to prevent said mistakes from happening in the first place. Hope this helps. Deauthorized. ^(talk) 00:02, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, thanks for the cleanup and the tip on the edit tool. Xan747 (talk) 00:09, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid sourcing at GeometryDash

Hi, could you please stop removing the reliable secondary source, The Atlantic, and replacing it with an unofficial fan site for a fan-reproduction of the game? This is very disruptive. -- ferret (talk) 01:26, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With apologies to @Lettherebedarklight, I now realize that I was fooled by the fan site. However, will you please notice that the Atlantic article is WP:CIRCULAR ... it links to and quotes a previous version the Wikipedia article. Xan747 (talk) 01:32, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've already removed it separately. -- ferret (talk) 01:33, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Xan747 (talk) 01:34, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given that you had already decided that I was a stubborn cuss who never listened to anyone else, it was very courteous and WP:CIVIL of you to nevertheless wait for me to reply, prior to changing the image. I hope the April 6 retraction surprised you. You weren't entirely wrong; I am a stubborn cuss. But not too stubborn to change my opinion when I saw persuasive new evidence.

@Lwarrenwiki, Lol, I hope I didn't come across as that critical! And I am sorry I missed your reversal. Since you originally uploaded the photo, could you please correct the information on the wikimedia page and also the other pages it is used? Xan747 (talk) 01:15, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not editing much these days. Feel free to have at it, if you like, on both Philip's and William's articles. Lwarrenwiki (talk) 13:57, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
