Comment on my Request for Rollback

You commented on my Request for Rollback that some of my reversions seemed to be against good-faith edits. For my own education, could you point to a few of those? I certainly want to be better at recognizing the difference. —Al E. (talk) 19:12, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one [1] - you undid a Good Faith edit, which did not contain vandalism, maybe it contained errors, but please mark as AGF next time. Other than that, I support you getting Rollback. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 19:15, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That particular edit resulted in a significant re-write of the article and removed virtually all wikilinks and all of the category links. It seems to me that someone was pasting their school report into the article. It wasn't obvious vandalism, but it was pretty destructive. I should have said as much in the change log. Thanks. —Al E.

Okay. Thanks, ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 19:28, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi :Tomtomn00,

you seem to be asking for every kind of access and capability there is. So rather than doing your requests behind the scenes, use the appropriate page to request the capability. The latest thing you requested I do not even know what it is, so that is why it is best to use the right request page, then the experts on that thing can give it a consideration and explain aspects about it to you. There are plenty of things to do here without special privileges. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please could you respond to my email. The right I had requested was a mistake - instead of -Page I put -User. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 22:35, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cathedral article

I just deleted the picture that you added, and thought I ought perhaps give you a reason.

  • There are hundreds of cathedrals in the world and hundreds of pictures on Wiki Commons to choose from.
  • The pictures have been selected on a couple of criteria.
Format and appearance
Fitting the adjacent text.
  • In order to fit in a great number of representative examples, the pics are all "landscape". This creates a harmony in the overall appearance
  • Every picture has both appearance and a caption that relates to the text of the section.
e.g. the image of Pisa Cathedral is placed in the section on "tourism" and to serve that purpose, out f all the possible images, the one has been chose that is both of very high quality, is landscape, and has a tourist horse-drawn carriage in front of it.
  • The pictures are not about the greatness of the cathedral as a work of architecture, because that is not the subject of the article. The article is about how cathedrals function and what takes place there.
To illustrate that purpose, every cathedral, great or small, is equally valid.
  • I have tried to spread the illustrative material across the world, representing every continent. I think Africa might have missed out. However, England has weighed in rather heavily, as there are more pictures of English cathedrals available than any others.

Article tagging

Tomtomn00, I've brought up multiple issues with your article tagging previously and I still have concerns (despite you now having a mentor). Could you please explain why you tagged this article as having unreliable sources? It would certainly be helpful if you're going to throw up vague tags on articles if you could at least explain your concerns on the talk page or leave a detailed edit summary. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:23, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you keep being consumed about unimportant stats such as this as opposed to accuracy and the actual improvement of articles, I expect you will find your time here quite frustrating. Wikipedia is about building an encyclopedia, not ratcheting up your edit count in the shortest possible time period. I understand that you are young, however there is a level of competence that is required in order to edit, and I'm concerned that although you have enthusiasm, you are not quite ready for the tasks you're taking on. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:31, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
They do not contain easily accessable information, and are just citations. ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 17:28, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Could you point me to the part of Wikipedia's reliable sourcing policy where it states sources must be easily accessible? Do you realize this individual died in 1785? The second part of your explanation makes no sense - the citations are unreliable because they are "just citations"? Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 17:37, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point now. Rolled back my edit. Sorry, ~ ⇒TomTomN00 @ 17:56, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
