Deleting sources because of the language

Hi! I can see you deleted a bibliography I have added in an article on Matter. It seems you don't like it because it is in French. And you give me a link in Wikipedia (Further reading) to learn. I am new in Wikipedia as contributor. After many years of being a passive reader, I decided that is time to help other readers. I have a PhD in Physics, and Professor at the University. I have written many journal articles and chapter books, so I know how important is to have good sources. At the same time, nowadays, you have to get information from other languages if you want to learn. Myself I can read/write/understand English, French, and Spanish. I use in my articles and books always references in many languages. So, I don't understand your criticism. At the same time, I went to the link you indicated me (and other sub-links there), and nothing says about sources in different languages. As I said, I am new in Wikipedia, and I need to learn how to improve Wikipedia. I will invest my time in learning, and in improving the wonderful idea of Wikipedia. I will appreciate your advise in this matter. But, also, I will appreciate in this punctual case that you can justify that the reference I have included is not useful. I read it, and it is perfect for general reference. I might try in the future to improve also the article on Matter. In the meantime, I am trying to make small and easy contributions, and references (I believe) are the easiest ones to make. Specially in those articles where the references are scarce. Please, revert the changes and include again the reference. Thank you. Triboscience (talk) 01:12, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello!

You're probably going to think I'm some kind of idiot--and who knows--you could be right! But I got a message you had left a comment on my talk page and it's not there. I am hoping you didn't change your mind and delete it! We were looking for your participation with our article--if you want--working with Gråbergs has been great and we're proud of the product.

Ah! Jenhawk777, that thing lights up when someone edits your talkpage, no matter what they did. Basically, he stopped by and straightened a couple of chairs.[1] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:26, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Oh. Perhaps that indicates a marked lack of interest. We should leave. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:24, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello again Jenhawk777, you're of course welcome to post here. I actually believed that I was on the humor in the Bible article when I signed the post. While I did receive the invitation I did not yet have time to review the article. My Wikipedia presence is unfortunately sparse and unpredictable lately because of work. I also have no personal experience with GA review (I can roughly recognize Start, C and B class articles) although it's among my future interests. I therefore could not perform a GA review at current time, sorry about that. —PaleoNeonate – 00:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Oh good! I am glad to hear back from you! It's okay, there are others able to do an actual review, but we have enough respect for your opinion we would welcome any input you had. I certainly understand only being here when you can and there are probably lots of other things you'd rather be doing than reviewing someone else's work, but if you feel like it, having you participate would be cool. If not, that's cool too. Thank you for responding. Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:23, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Paleo, I didn't intend that you should do the review, that would be some weird lobbying. What I wondered was are you interested in helping us when the review gets going, since none of us has ever tried for GA before. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:14, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
