Citing wikia

Please note that Wikia is not a reliable source. It is not suitable for citation in Misplaced Pages articles, although you may be able to find reliable sources through Wikia if the editors there have included citations to such sources. ~ Rob 11:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you ! Rolandi+ (talk) 11:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

No worries! You've gotten some flack lately from editors who have noticed some disruptive behaviors, but it seems you've been acting in good faith. I'd recommend slowing down a bit. Misplaced Pages is theoretically going to remain around forever, so waiting a day or two and getting comments on an article's talk page prior to editing doesn't make any difference in the grand scheme of things, and can help avoid most common mistakes. If you have any questions regarding editing, I'd recommend referring to the links at the top of your talk page that another user left for you, going to the Teahouse (a friendly place for new editors to ask questions), or responding here and I'll see if I'm able to help. While you should certainly take the things that other editors have told you on your talk page to heart, don't let it worry you too much. I was new not too long ago as well, and everyone can learn how to edit constructively with a little effort. ~ Rob 11:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again!At the moment I don't have any question ,but maybe I will need some help in the future.....so thank you again! Rolandi+ (talk) 15:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

June 2015

Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Heikegani, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hi, I was actually editing so I thought to add the references after I finished my edits.My reference here is . Rolandi+ (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Source misinterpretation

Hi,

With this edit (diff) you inserted the quote:

• "Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians."

The source says:

• "Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians." - Fine, John Van Antwerp (1991). The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century. University of Michigan Press. p. 10. ISBN 0-472-08149-7.

Furthermore the author explains that this traditional view is today challenged and explains that there are valid linguistic arguments "serious, nonchauvinistic" that Albanians came to Balkans from what is now Romania because it was also affected by large-scale invasion of Goths and Slavs in 4th-6th century.

It is obvious that author does not say that he or scholars today support Albanian-Illyrian hipotesis. On the contrary, he explains that it has been misused in Albanian nationalistic myth building with expansionistic purposes.

Please urgently revert your edit based on blatant misinterpretation of the source.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:23, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Falsification of sources

I see that you have been told this ], but I will try to explain again: Your edit states that "Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors..." when the source says "Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors...", continuing to show that this view has been seriously challenged. Your statement is actually contradicted by the source. If you do not change this yourself, your edit will be seen as a sign that you are pushing your own point of view, and you will inevitably be blocked. --T*U (talk) 23:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Go,read what that part of article says and then come and talk to me.It says that "According to one of the origin theories Vlachs originated from latinized Dacians".This means that it is a theory and it's normal to be challenged.It is not a POV .However I will change the reference citation as it has been an error.Also there has been a discussion at the article's talk page.So instead of warning me about your imaginary possible blocks ,go and participate at the discussion.

Disambiguation link notification for July 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nicholas Leonicus Thomaeus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albanian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
