Editing article "Agent : Agents in espionage.

{{helpme}} Editing Article "Agent": Agents in Espionage.

I have edited the "agent" article but only to have it deleted. I was not finished and can cite other sources not in a job description however my sources a verifiable and literally define the field of expertise for the definition of "agent". How can I re-enter this information into this database without having it removed due to to much content in a citation (as was the cause for deletion)? Should I remove the citation(s) or is it my source(s)? The Administrator was unclear as to what was wrong with how it was written other that the references are too big and the some of the source data was actually a job listing...but a job listing that was directly relevant and also from the pioneers in the field of Agent handling. I was also not finished with my citation(s). The atricle is actually less reliable now that the article has been rolled back. Help please.

Ahears 18:48, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

If you're referring to Agent handling, you can get a complete article history by clicking the "View history" link at the top of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agent_handling&action=history

From there, you can view earlier versions of the article and retrieve the text that you originally added.

If you're having a persistent disagreement with an editor on that article, I recommend going to Talk:Agent handling and having a discussion there first about what needs to be done to resolve the dispute. Tim Pierce (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evasive answers don't help...No, I'm referring to the article: Agent. Section: Agents in Espionage. I need a little extra advise revising the article. I am the origional editor...please find someone who knows what their doing and reads this post before you respond.I apologize for the "abrasiveness" but I don't need the "run around". Also you may need to read the article after I wrote it and then let me know how to proceed. I need to know several things such as if I need to simply leave the citation at the origional source or add it to the reference in the article (this was not accepted). Ahears 21:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry that my answers seemed evasive. You said "I have edited the "agent" article but only to have it deleted," but I could not find any article you have worked on that has been deleted, so I took my best guess as to which of your recent contributions you were talking about. Clearly I misunderstood. I am glad that you found an editor to help you. Tim Pierce (talk) 00:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ref. Agent#Agent Classification in Espionage and this specific revert.

Working on this; more in a minute Chzz ► 22:01, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Doing...

I don't need the link. I need to know how to revise the article I wrote so that it will be accepted. I was rejected because of the large citations and source of the citation. I wan't to know how to correct this (the sources are reliable) because the Administrator didn't agree with the way I wrote it dispite it obvious verifiability. Heres what I wrote (although it is not finished and needs more citations): Compare history: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agent&action=historysubmit&diff=360193860&oldid=360184082 and the actual article I wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Agent&oldid=360184082. Please look at the 36 reverted edits as I need to know how to correct the article for resubmission. Thank you.

Ahears 22:08, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I know you didn't need the link. We did - so I put it there, while I worked on things...

The material that you added was not really suitable for a disambiguation page; I think that is the problem. A disambig is supposed to be a very brief list of topics - a single line for each entry. See WP:MOSDAB.

Instead, the material should be added to the appropriate articles - such as, for example, Espionage - or, you could even change the redirect 'secret agent' into a real article.

You can edit the old version to copy your work, but do not save it there or it will reintroduce the edits.

You could also, if you wish, ask for more clarification from the person who removed it - that is, Terrillja (talk · contribs).

Cheers, Chzz ► 22:13, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So simply relocating the material from the disambigiation page to the main article should clear up some of the discrepency? I'll give it a try. This also explains why it all wasn't deleted leaving some of the article in tact. It didn't make alot of sense to me to delete such a strong article at first. Thanks.

Ahears 22:18, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure that's why they removed it; their edit summary says, "Not the purpose of a disambig page". Chzz ► 22:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
