edits to Warframe

hello melbournestar, I am a newbie here. May I know how I can bring up the issues and controversies regarding the game in the wiki page. Thanks for ur concern! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.100.143.152 (talk) 15:53, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello @121.100.143.152: welcome to Wikipedia,

Should you wish to add content that is regarding controversies: it must be well-sourced material (great sources include: books, newspaper articles, etc.) no blogs, opinion articles, Facebook, YouTube and no original research. It must also be written in a neutral point of view – so we mustn't take sides. Furthermore, when quoting – please turn caps lock off.

Hope that helps. Happy editing! —MelbourneStar☆^talk 16:15, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Answer

Hello there, I reduced the article of the UK EU Parliament Membership of 2019 simply because the UK has voted for BREXIT, and there is no point in doing that election in 2019, as I said if even if the UK would not have still exited the EU at that point, it would be very unlikely anyway that they would do this referendum, it will probably be boycotted, that was just my point of view and also what is probably going to happen, and I am not an activist, I only did because it's surely what was going to happen.87.0.66.206 (talk) 15:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @87.0.66.206:

I believe this ought to be discussed on the relevant talk page. Politics being politics: nothing is confirmed, especially a timeframe for when (or if) the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. An EU/UK Parl election is still scheduled – so unless the UK is certain to leave prior 2019 (that is, a timeframe is set confirming the departure) – then perhaps, said article ought to be redirected.

edits to bus company

there are not disruptive edits as they show the bus types in use and also show the garages in alphabetical order — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawsj123 (talk • contribs) 10:17, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Lawsj123: I'm unable to determine which article you may be referring to? —MelbourneStar☆^talk 16:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Golden Syrup - Not Treacle

I am a Culinary Teacher and have recently had students sharing the Idea that Golden Syrup is the same as Treacle, it is not, I feel it is important to clarify this, so I made the point of adding some narrative to make further editors think before calling Golden Syrup Treacle, inverted Syrups are the chemical process of Glucose turning to Fructose, as I say in my Edit, Grape Juice is not wine and Syrup is not Treacle, oddly several years ago the article in the Wiki was much clearer, why this was changed is beyond me. I see now my students are now referencing the Wiki and making the assumption that Treacle and Golden Syrup are the same thing.

Older version of the Wikipedia were accurate, this current version is written with an American Slant that doesn't understand the History Of Golden Syrup and the Colloquial variations of the Word Treacle, so I wanted to make it clear Golden Syrup is Inverted Sugar Syrup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup it is a way of intensifying the sweetness of sugar. Treacle is a burnt Sugar Syrup which aims to add a bitterness to Syrup, they are not the same.

Thank you for you work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.53.198.242 (talk) 11:03, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello @31.53.198.242: welcome to Wikipedia,

I'm afraid I had to revert your edits, as they didn't appear too constructive to me. I understand one's frustration, but one cannot simply voice their frustration within the body or lead of an article. There are other people (besides editors) reading the article, and hence, they too will also read your comments. So in future, I'd ask that you direct your comments, to the article's talk page. I'm sure there, people can discuss your concerns.

Another thing you could do: perhaps you could edit the article, change the parts that appear to be wrong. Should you do this, you must provide verifiable reliable sources.

It's good to see that your students are using Wikipedia. It wasn't too long ago that I was a student here in Australia, and would rely on Wikipedia for general assistance. I would recommend that students opt to not reference Wikipedia, but rather reference Wikipedia's sources. Not a negative reflection on Wikipedia, but as you can tell, things change quite often and not always is the content of quality (it's all a work in progress!). That's just my 2c, of course!

Hope I've addressed your concerns. Kind regards, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 14:51, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Plymouth Parkway FC page

I have just updated the Plymouth Parkway FC page, i am the chairman of the club hence why there was no source to the new information, could you please put back — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.211.107.50 (talk) 15:30, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello @88.211.107.50: welcome to Wikipedia.

I've had to undo your edits, because you had not provided a secondary reliable source. Wikipedia does not allow original research – that is, content that you or I come up with – it must be published, and verifiable.

Secondly, content on Wikipedia must be written in a neutral point of view – it cannot be promotional, whatsoever.

Finally, because you have a connection to club, I urge that you read and heed the advice on this page. It pertains to Wikipedia's attitude towards conflict of interest editing.

I hope I have been of some assistance. Kind regards, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 16:01, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Hello Mr Legault, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I had to undo your edits, for various reasons. Firstly, you had removed content verified by reliable sources — without an adequate explanation as to why. Please use the edit summary feature to specify the changes you are making.

Also, please ensure that when you add content – you cite reliable sources (eg. books, newspaper articles: secondary sources are good); and that you write in a neutral point of view.

Which brings me to my final concern. Because you are connected to the organisation, you may have a conflict of interest; I urge you to read this behavioral guideline on conflicts of interest — prior to editing the article in question.

Kind regards, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 15:56, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

follow up edit page College Édouard-Montpetit

Many tx for your quick ansmwer, but, I do have a problem.

I do understand the conflict of interest, but when i see errors in a page talking about my institution, error due to the fact that it was written in 2012 and things have changed since then, a good exemple is the name of the institution that is now Cégep and not College, or the number of student, the socio demographic of the time.

Plus a number a factual info like the number of sport team, etc I have a hard time understand why those changes were not reagard as ligit.

So as i want to have those cahnges done, tell me how should I proceed.

Merci beaucoup
