I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, ElectionHack2019

Thank you for creating 1999 Dublin South–Central by-election.

User:Stikkyy, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

please use a reflist to group up your references, and actually add citations. for small election pages like the ones that you're creating, it isn't that big of an issue, as you don't really need a footnote saying who's who. however, everything beyond that really ought to have some sort of footnote strapped to it.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Stikkyy}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

Etiquette

Hi. Wikipedia:Etiquette expects that, except perhaps in the case of overt vandalism, an obvious/overlooked mistake or similar, editors should "avoid reverts whenever possible". And, if a revert is unavoidable for some reason, "when reverting other people's edits, give a rationale for the revert". With this edit you provided no such edit summary or explanation as to why you felt my changes were not to your liking. I am happy to hear your thoughts now.

For myself, and as per my own edit summary, I made some copyediting changes (including for example clarifying that this was O'Neill's party's first ever national election. Period. Not just their first national by-election). And some summarisation changes (including removing the overlinking to Malcolm Byrne, and the otherwise uncited text about the unsuccessful candidates previous jobs.

If you want to consider compromise wording. Which addresses my concerns. About overlinking, lack of refs, factual clarity, etc. Then that'd be great. But flatly reverting other editors changes (without any explanation) is not really "on".

Otherwise, if your revert was an error ("finger slipped"), then that's cool too. And easily remedied.

Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 09:36, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
