Welcome![edit]

Hello, Tomy vaz, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

January 2021[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Why the date changes at Virius Lupus?[edit]

Did or didn't they match the source? Doug Weller talk 19:40, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide reliable sources and explanations[edit]

I've reverted a series of edits across several articles, changing the name of Aulus Antonius Rufus to Marcus Antonius Rufus, because no source has been cited for the change, and no explanation beyond "correct name" in the edit summaries. The only epigraphic evidence I can find plainly gives his praenomen as Aulus. If you have a source that gives his name as Marcus and explains why Aulus is wrong, you need to cite it with his entry, and perhaps provide some clear explanation for the change in the edit summary. The same is true for Lucius Nonius Calpurnius Torquatus Asprenas. Why are you adding "Julius" to his name? The source cited doesn't appear to support such a change. Looking over your other edits, I note that a large number have been reverted for similar reasons: no source provided and no explanation for changing various details in Roman biographical articles. I assume that you're trying to contribute productively to the encyclopedia, but if nobody can tell why you're making changes, and it's impossible to verify them, they're simply going to keep being reverted.

Unexplained and unhelpful edits[edit]

Please think twice before making edits like your latest ones. Your very own primary source did not support your changes, and your other citation was incomplete. This isn't the first time you baldly make a series of unexplained and seemingly disruptive edits which are then promptly reverted. If this persists I'm afraid I'll have to take this issue to the administrators' noticeboard. Avilich (talk) 17:33, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your insertion of Julius Julianus was correct. Next time, please explain your edits more thoroughly, and don't simply cite (German) Wikipedia, which is not a reliable source. Also, don't cite sources that contradict each other, and don't do original research by simply interpreting primary sources w/o support from reliable secondary material. Else your edits will just keep getting reverted. Avilich (talk) 20:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
