Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 18:50, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Peaceray. I noticed that you recently removed content from R (programming language) without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi @Peaceray, thanks for your message. I’m a long-term — albeit very infrequent — Wikipedia editor, and I believe my (admittedly flippant) edit summary adequately described why I removed the content in question: the content was unencyclopedic and opinionated and belongs in a personal blog — next time I’ll use WP:NOTBLOG and/or WP:SOAPBOX instead, if that’s more palatable. My comment would have been understood by people familiar with the article’s subject. And this indeed seems to be the case, since the person who “reverted” my edit went on to fully restore it, and added a (still gratuitous and arguably unencyclopedic but) brief and neutral description in its place. In other words: the person who reverted my edit clearly actually agreed with the gist of it. I’m OK with the ultimate outcome, but it’s unfortunate that the process in which it came about made my edit seem invalid. klmr (talk) 15:13, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
