Hello, clame down, I putted all of theses formations before and I realized that I am inserting multiple photos of the same person. I'm still working on the article! Thanks… Sarah Schneuwly -Schneider (talk) 14:39, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

@Sarah Schneuwly -Schneider: You deleted sourced content and reliable references without explanation on the same article twice ([1], [2]), I asked you to stop and follow the behavioral guidelines. It's not difficult to understand. GenoV84 (talk) 15:42, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Sir, if you look at the section you’ll find 2 pictures for the same person also the source themselves come into the picture and I want to tell you again I inserted all of theses informations and I missed so I removed it that all. You can see in the history of the article who worked on and you’ll see what in talking about!. Sarah Schneuwly -Schneider (talk) 16:11, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

You are hindering my work in the article. I noticed that you have little access to Wikipedia. Please end this conflict as soon as possible. Sarah Schneuwly -Schneider (talk) 21:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

I don't know what you're talking about. GenoV84 (talk) 00:11, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Because you don't want to search well, check the history of the page and you will know exactly what I am talking about. the science, the paragraph from which the source was removed as you said 07:49, 8 March 2023 edited by Iskandar323, on this date you will not find the image inside which the sources are located.The section of science on 13:48, 20 March 2023 with this date you will find the image with the sources added by me.

The reason for the deletion is that I realized that there are two pictures of the same person in the section and I added other photos in its place.

CS1/2 citation parameters

Hi GenoV84: Thanks for 'thanking' my edit at Towers of Silence. I appreciate all the excellent sources you've added over time.

Regarding the parameter of "year" versus "date", the Template:Cite book has this to say:

• year: Year of source being referenced. The usage of this parameter is discouraged; use the more flexible |date= parameter instead unless both of the following conditions are met:

1. The |date= format is YYYY-MM-DD.
2. The citation requires a CITEREF disambiguator.

In this case neither applies. I wonder if as a long-term editor you might have retained an earlier rule? Or, if you're like me and use multiple referencing systems in daily life, they all start to merge together! :- )

The change to: "... Herodotus, an Ancient Greek historian who ..." was to avoid the WP:SEAOFBLUE. An alternative to my unlinking could be rewording, for example: "... Herodotus, the historian of Ancient Greece ..." which narrowly avoids the chain of adjacent links.

I'm not wedded to either, but I do try my hardest to follow the guidelines. Let me know what you think. Cheers, AukusRuckus (talk) 01:03, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi again GenoV84: I'm going to change the book citation paramters back to |date=, since that's the recommended practice. Happy to hear from you if there's a specific reason they should be kept as "|year=", in divergence from the advice at Template:Cite book. I won't change the wikilinks that create a Sea of Blue. When you have a chance, perhaps you'd like to look into it? I'll leave it to you. Thanks, AukusRuckus (talk) 09:26, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi AukusRuckus, sorry for the late reply. I'm used to follow the default parameters of each citation template whenever I add a source, but you can use "|date=" instead of "|year=" if you want, it's not a big deal. The only citation templates in which I recommend to use the parameter "|date=" instead of "|year=" are Cite journal, Cite magazine, and Cite news, because they are more suitable to display the full publication date (day, month, and year), whereas books only need the year of publication. Your edits are fine, thank you for helping with your contributions on the article Towers of Silence. GenoV84 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
