Be careful what you call vandalism
Because this clearly isn't. See the edit summary. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 00:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I apologize, I did not realize that page was a redirect and instead thought you had deleted the entire page. Trulyy (talk) 00:26, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- A third opinion; I support what Headbomb and the IP user said. I think it would be wise to go slower and learn more about how Wikipedia works by doing constructive edits; there are masses of pages which need help. Reverting edits which are clearly vandalism such as calling someone a sexual predator is good. However, in many cases one has to look very carefully into what is going on before reverting.

Rich
"most prominent enslavers" is hyperbolic language, given the context. The quote references owning some slaves, but most prominent borders on slander, and was not considered a prominent part of Rich's work. I corrected the language to accurately reflect the reference. 2601:18A:C500:330:196F:C868:ACCF:7B06 (talk) 20:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I disagree.
- "According to the United States census, there were only twenty-four free persons of color and twenty-six Negro slaves in Utah in 1850."
- Having owned 6 slaves, that certainly made him one of the most prominent enslavers in Utah.
- As for the accusation of slander, he was one of the most prominent persons in Utah at the time, and he owned more slaves than almost everyone else, if not everyone else. Making a fact-based statement about a negative aspect of someone is not slander.

Two "Perpetrators" Sections
I moved the "Perpetrators" section of the "Broken Arrow murders" article to the top i tried to removed the original but couldnt, can you please remove it? 105.69.119.225 (talk) 00:32, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Sure thing! Trulyy (talk) 00:39, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Reversion of an entire edit for a grammatical error
Hello. Thank you for your work trying to inprove the encyclopedia. The reversion you made on Le Moyne Dolphins women's basketball was a bit more than necessary to address the problem you noticed, which was a redundancy that I erroneously created with my original edit. Since your reversion eliminated content, including an entire sentence that did not contain errors, a better approach would have been to simply fix the error rather than revert the entire edit. I restored the original edit and then eliminated the redundancy. Taxman1913 (talk) 01:05, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I apologize for my mistake. Thank you for fixing it. Trulyy (talk) 01:15, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
==Kariba Ferries: What overnight means. Hello, just wanted to humbly point out that overnight does not at all mean 24 hours. It means "for the duration on the night." or "for or during the night". Kindly have a look. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/overnight Have a nice day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minkochko (talk • contribs) 12:04, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
