2nd request for reversion explanation

Hello Sigehelmus, I previously inquired about your reasons for reverting my edit on the page Great Basin a month ago. Unfortunately, my comment on your talk page went missing soon thereafter- it is not to be found in your talk page archives. Providing a sound reason for your reversion is particularly important in this case since it was not a revert of vandalism. (though in such a case it is still Wikipedia etiquette to leave a note stating "revert of vandalism") Quoting from Wikipedia's page on reverting edits:

Edit summaries...are particularly important when reverting. Provide a valid and informative explanation including, if possible, a link to the Wikipedia principle you believe justifies the reversion. A reversion is a complete rejection of the work of another editor, and if the reversion is not adequately supported then the reverted editor may find it difficult to assume good faith.

I'd like to ask you again, Sigehelmus, to kindly provide an explanation for the reversion of my edit, or alternatively, your acknowledgement that if I reinstate my edit, it does not constitute edit warring. I do not wish to wage war. That is why I came to your talk page again- to wage dialog. :)

Lombard language

Hi Sigehelmus!

I appreciate your attempts at adding a note on Pope John XXIII's name in his native language; however, I saw you had copied the name from the article at lmowiki, where it is in a Western dialect (Bergamasque is an Eastern dialect), and later added inaccurate and even confusing IPA to it – particularly [ʤwaŋkˈsɔnto] for Giuànn; may I ask where you got this from?

You can see I have now fixed the note both in the spelling and IPA. If you ever need assistance with this kind of things, especially for Lombard, and are in doubt, don’t hesitate to hit me up! ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 10:10, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for writing this; I have to be brief for now but I really appreciate your fascinating corrections. I think native dialect notes are important context that can help inspire some readers. I don't quite remember where I got that transcription from beyond checking a random site and the wiki page and IPA. Sorry aha - I'd like sometime any interesting links or resources though to learn more, I think I saw you before on wiktionary? Anyway grazie~ ~Sıgehelmus♗_(Tøk) 10:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

You’re welcome! We had an exchange some time ago here on Wikipedia (coincidentally, I was archiving my older talks a couple days ago and I came across it haha), don’t remember about Wiktionary but likely there too.

For Eastern Lombard, I consult this self-published dictionary (see under Vocabolario italiano-bergamasco) and – particularly for Bergamasque – this website with a bilingual vocabulary (see here and here). Those are where I checked the actual Bergamasque forms; of course I had to adapt the orthography since the ones used in these sources sometimes differ from the most common Eastern Unified, and then convert to IPA.

Hear from ya! ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 11:09, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Eloui moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Eloui, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
