My edits you reversed

Hello Zim, you reversed my edit on the Internet Culture page, but I am not sure why you did so. I checked the validity of my sources (that I got from Google Scholar) before I edited the page. --Hithisismeandmywikiusername (talk) 17:12, 19 November 2025 (UTC)hithisismeandmywikiusername
:If you are referring to this revert ↗ then my edit summary explains my reason. I'd be quite surprised if Google Scholar provided publications that were from rtatel.com or www.be-ys-outsourcing-services.com. --ZimZalaBimtalk 19:36, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Caifornia

I am confused about the message you added to to my talk page Zim, mind elaborating. John George III (talk) 20:31, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

:In this edit ↗ you inserted personal commentary of "In act it is even bigger than some small countries!" into the text of an article. This is inappropriate (and not grammatically correct, I might add). --ZimZalaBimtalk 20:41, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
::act was a typo for fact and that is a verifiable fact John George III (talk) 20:42, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
:::ex. Russia & Italy John George III (talk) 20:43, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
::::While you might find it interesting -- perhaps even exciting -- that California's economy is larger than some countries, we don't insert our personal opinions ↗ into articles, especially in such a way that lacks an encyclopedic tone ↗. --ZimZalaBimtalk 20:45, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::its not an opinion John George III (talk) 20:46, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
::::::Take it up on the article's talk page, not here. That's where content discussions belong. --ZimZalaBimtalk 20:51, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Kievan Rus'

I never the WP:THE ↗ policy in your info. John George III (talk) 02:30, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
:I have no idea what you are trying to say here. (And feel free to just reply ↗ to messages on your own talk page, rather than splitting the conversation.) --ZimZalaBimtalk 02:45, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

Ur talk page

I was deleting discussions we have concluded Zim John George III (talk) 02:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
:As the warning I left on your page noted, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice ↗, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page ↗ to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. --ZimZalaBimtalk 03:02, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
::then may u archive it John George III (talk) 03:07, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
:::''lowercase sigmabot III'' will take care of that automatically. --ZimZalaBimtalk 03:13, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
::::thanks mind archiving this conversation as well John George III (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

John George III

I can't help but feel that your watching of their talk page and contributions might be overly off-putting, which can have the unintended consequence of making that editor frustrated, which we all know will make it harder for them to acclimate to editing. Specifically, this revert ↗ on London, Midland and Scottish Railway ↗ comes across as rote: While that user's edit was not, in fact, needed, it did not do any harm to the article, and would have been a good one to leave alone, to give them a 'win'.

As you yourself pointed out, this editor seems to be young. We should expect a bit of incompetence, and it would benefit the project more if we assisted them in gaining competence, rather than punishing them for an incompetence which is very likely out of their hands.

Twinby ↗

Hi @ZimZalaBim
The article Twinby ↗, was removed in February from the Russian version ↗ (which was flagged as promotional and whose sources lacked sufficient notability). It is clearly a COI editor 1 ↗ 2 ↗, and they are most likely connected because they have edited the same articles in the past. Semerotan (talk) 08:37, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
:What are you asking of me? If you feel approrpiate, you can tag the article or put it up for deletion. --ZimZalaBimtalk 18:36, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
