Hello. I see your message and the reversion. I'm happy to discuss my edits. What was the issue with including/quoting the RGS walking back the original assertion? It seemed very clear to me, in addition to their being no international acceptance of the 2008 claim.
Looking forward to talking with you. Best regards. Cobalt blur (talk) 19:33, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
There are also sourcing/citation issues. "Norman Finkelsteyn" the stringer for the (uncited) Hadassah Magazine item is not "Norman Finkelstein" the prominent Israeli historian and does not have an article because he is not notable. His item merely states the 2008 claim and the REK quote not in the original version. The political context and non-university financial backing are facts.
I'm still new to editing and the last thing I want to do is be "not constructive"! Could I have added too many "citation needed?" templates? I wouid really appreciate any feedback you have. Thanks. Cobalt blur (talk) 19:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Indian copper plate inscriptions, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grant. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
