Indiscriminate reverts
[edit]hi. you undid my edits on the battle of Wuhan page on the basis of me editorializing my content, but i don't understand why you had to revert all my edits because of a few choice words i used. some of the content i put in there was super important, like the Jiujiang Massacre which is an established fact in outside sources like Mackinnon and Mitters works, but has no references on the battle of Wuhan page.
can you explain why you removed these edits? for something as major as a "mini-Nanjing Massacre," this content shouldn't be removed over a few words I used. I also see that you're a fan of the japanese military, and I don't want to make assumptions, but I want to know where you stand on this. thanks. Wahreit (talk) 19:28, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- also if the issue is over terminology, i'm willing to edit out the problematic language. i just don't understand why it was necessary to remove all the additional content Wahreit (talk) 19:42, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's not just a few words, if it were, then I would have altered one or two sentences, which would be the easier solution. The content added would need a fundamental rewrite in order to remove the issues of editorialising, unsourced OR in places, and not adhering to an WP:IMPARTIAL tone. I'm going to ignore your last comment, as I don't see how "asking where I stand" is constructive in any way, unless you're accusing me of being a denialist. Loafiewa (talk) 21:26, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- if thats the case then i can do a rewrite, but i still fail to see how this would qualify as editorializing when most of my writing was quoted almost verbatim from scholarly works on the subject. also, if there are any problems in the future, please specify any areas of improvement rather than indiscriminately reverting edits i took time out of my day to make. its not very fun reading and writing about japanese atrocities.
- as for the final comment, i genuinely didn't know if you were a denialist. removing an entire section about the jiujiang massacre, which is an established fact, seemed strange to me because there have been some problems with disruptive users on other second sino-japanese war pages. i didn't mean to offend you, it was purely for clarification. Wahreit (talk) 22:24, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't like reading or writing about this area of history, then you don't have to, it's a volunteer project. But if you are going to edit further, then comment on content, not the contributor. Loafiewa (talk) 16:39, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Loafiewa, reopening this discussion to apologize for the tone used in this discussion. Having gotten some more experience with wikipedia and its policies, i understand this was the wrong way to initiate a dialogue. Wahreit (talk) 17:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- Just realised I forgot to respond to this so sorry about that, but it's no problem. Loafiewa (talk) 19:53, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- of course, thanks for your understanding. have a great day. :) 🙏 Wahreit (talk) 21:20, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

disagree with reverts
[edit]hello. i've re answered your massage sent to me yesterday. i wonder if you have read that. i think i've fixed the problems you pointed out so i disagree with your action of reverts. you just said that i didn't make any changes in today's edit. but in fact, i've changed the expression in 3rd paragraph so it won't be contradictory any more. Please read my massage before. it is under the massage you sent to me yesterday. if you have further questions, we can discuss. Jaimnk (talk) 12:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
- please look at discussion page of the article Jaimnk (talk) 12:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi there. You did the right thing to revert the edit, but I don't think rollback was necessary, as it was a good faith edit of a user trying to add a source (which isn't reliable as you correctly pointed out). When you're rolling back other users' edits please remember to notify users with a message on their talk page, as they may not understand why their addition has been removed. BTW the said IP has gone and reinstated the edit again. A♭m (Ring!) (Notes) 09:04, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I checked the rules concerning use of rollback because of this comment, so thanks for making me aware. Loafiewa (talk) 23:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

fast reversions
[edit]Hey, Loafiewa...I see you reverted a bunch of edits very quickly after a user was blocked. Did you actually check them all? The fact someone is blocked doesn't mean every edit they've ever made was nonproductive. Valereee (talk) 16:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, some of them were minor rewordings that weren't problematic, but the reason I reverted so many with the edit summary referring to their soapboxing and NPOV, is because most of their edits seemed to hold these specific issues. I didn't check every article they worked on, but for that matter all the ones that I found they added a paragraph or more to, they did so specifically to throw up the war criminal or far-right label. Loafiewa (talk) 17:08, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. Valereee (talk) 17:11, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
West Land Sea king
[edit]Brother why do you keep undoing the Pakistan Navy Sea King picture i added, it does not violate the Article in any way. Syed Ayan Ather (talk) 20:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- As I did explain to you in the previous edit summary, it goes against MOS:SANDWICH. Loafiewa (talk) 20:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- What is MOS:SANDWICH. Syed Ayan Ather (talk) 20:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok i understand, but that can be fixed, why remove the picture Syed Ayan Ather (talk) 20:43, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- I removed it because it went against the guideline listed there, which you can read for yourself. I'd suggest you actually do read what it says before inserting it again - the MOS exists for a reason. Loafiewa (talk) 20:49, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
