Xalapa

Hi, I would be grateful if you could have a look at my comment on the talk section of the Xalapa page, and reconsider your reversion of my edit. Ditto for the related entry for Parque Los Berros. I understand the reason for wanting everything to be soured and referenced, but there are some facts that can't easily be so, but are nonetheless facts. Similarly, there is plenty of easily referenceable data that is now out of date, and hence incorrect, so referencing, whilst being very helpful, is not necessarily a guarantee of accuracy. Please let me know what you think, and notice that whatever the quality of the text I have tried to add, my edits are not actually 'vandalism' in any 'wanton destruction' sense of the word.

Hi Teachercito, thank you for your message. Unfortunately such edits can be seen as unconstructive so it is important to find sources for it to ensure validity and notability. In addition, original research cannot be put on Wikipedia. You need to find sources for everything you put. Thanks, Optakeover(Talk) 05:43, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
I have also replied to your talk page comment at Xalapa. Thank you. Optakeover(Talk) 05:49, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Euroleague 2015

@Optakeover: Sorry I delete the attendance on the euroleague page because it's not any important info about the organization. If you check on last years pages there was no attendance scoreboared till the date KK cvernazvezda start participate in the contest. I find this part an propagandistic addon in the article while those person want to see their team first on something in the page. Wikipedia is not a social network where you can make any addon you like to satisfy your ego. The last week they had even post a picture of Cverna zvezda stadium next to the attendances. That page is not visited by many people often but that doesnt mean that anyone can write whatever he wants. I think that the average attendace is more than enough.

@Dim.vas.nikol: Understood. Next time, please add an edit summary so we will know what you are doing. Regards, Optakeover(Talk) 15:57, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Optakeover: Thank you,can you please tell me how to do that.

@Dim.vas.nikol: Below the editing window, there is a field that is labelled "Edit summary". That is where you can key in your summary, stating in brief the reason why you are making the edit. feel free to read Help:Edit summary for more information. Optakeover(Talk) 16:53, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Immersion_(virtual_reality)

Could you kindly undo your revert on this page. The section in question has 8 citation needed tags, and no citations. It does not read like information, but as a part of a brochure for Ford's processes. It repeats information from elsewhere in the page, and the page will be no worse off without this additional five paragraph long description of one application. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.167.99.114 (talk) 16:51, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

@143.167.99.114: Thank you for your notification. I agree with you. I have reverted my reversion. My apologies for my mistake. You may remove any warning I gave you. Optakeover(Talk) 16:55, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
@Optakeover: Much appreciated. Thanks for the swift response.

Explanation for Thomas Scott Edit

Hi Optakeover, I am working with a group on the Thomas Scott article for a university course called History of Western Canada. We got rid of the quote in the "Life" section because we are not supposed to use primary sources on Wikipedia. We plan to expand the "Life" section to include more information on his life in replacement of the quote from secondary sources. Our plan is to expand the article to include more information over the next weeks. I hope this is reason enough for our edit and provides with you with enough information of changes to come over the next couple weeks. Thanks a lot!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
And a barnstar for you for your superb counter-vandalism efforts. You're keeping me quite busy today! MusikAnimal talk 18:07, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
@MusikAnimal:Thank you! I hardly get many compliments. It's a tough day and I'm going to take a break soon, but not till I get through a bit more on Huggle. Once again, thank you for going out of your way to help me out. Cheers! Optakeover(Talk) 18:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

DATES IN HISTORY REVISION

All dates throuout Wikipedia will be systematically updated over the next year to the Roman formula (AE/PR) or the Generic formula (BCE/CE) away from the illicit Christian formula (BC/AD).

Note: AE = Ancient Era; PR = Post publica Romana (AE is equivalent to BC/BCE and PR is 27 years added to the Roman Republic's end which is equivalent to AD/CE dates) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.249.64 (talk) 18:43, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

@68.116.249.64: Hi. Please read WP:ERA. Thank you. Optakeover(Talk) 18:58, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
