Hey there, I dont know if this is the place to do it, but the edit I made was labelling the policital party in the infobox as 'NSDAP' instead of 'Nazi Party' This was changed by another user who made a claim that I was trying to "mask" that Goebbels was a nazi, and citing some supposed rule on this site that you cannot refer to the Nazi Party by their abbreviation of the full official name "NSDAP"

Information icon Hi Digital Herodotus! I noticed that you have reverted another editor several times at Joseph Goebbels. I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable. If the problem continues or you encounter a similar situation in the future, there are several ways you can seek help:

Using these instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. ——Serial 13:44, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Robert IV of Sablé, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Anjou and Sablé. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Control copyright icon Hello Digital Herodotus! Your additions to Thomas D. Campbell have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:48, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

Please start using edit summaries so other editors have some idea what you are doing. Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:06, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

At Andrews, Texas, you left the edit summary, "added named for segment to infobox as well as cleaned up infobox". What "segment" did you add a name to? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 15:41, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
the infobox, there is a "named for" segment in infoboxes for places. Digital Herodotus (talk) 15:44, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Louisiana State Militia

Quit introducing anachronisms to James Longstreet. The Louisiana National Guard did not officially exist until after Longstreet was dead, so there is no reason to continue to link to an organization that didn't exist during the events referenced. Hog Farm Talk 16:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The National Guard for each state was originally referred to as the State Militias, with some dating their foundation to early colonial times. The Louisiana National Guard does so and traces its origins to the 1600s. They also trace their legacy to participation in Reconstruction error skirmishes, the the battle of Liberty Palace which Longstreet fought in.
