Fátima

I would like to thank the efforts of the 12th grade students in Fátima for their attempts to improve the content at English Wikipedia. But, many of the edits accomplished by them run contrary to the policies and guidelines established on this space. Among the issues, are trivial references to past and future papal visits (that do not meet the notability guidelines), the listing of benevolent societies and "how-to"-type content of a tourist-nature, in addition to architectural listings with little notability that duplicated pre-existing content. Unlike the stance of Portuguese Wikipedia, that allows this type of editing, the rules on English Wikipedia are not as permissive. Wikipedia is not a platform for teaching how to write in English, there is a list as to what should be included (Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not) and administrators may be willing to block individual and/or whole IPs for excessive editing and experimentation that disturbs the community. There are comprehensive rules/guidelines (Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines) that should be evaluated prior to editing in this namespace, including issues of name usage, non-English terms, the use of references/citations, the addition of lists, problems with notability and excessive triviality. For any of these issues editors are within their rights to rollback or challenge content. I also note that Portuguese Wikipedia content is not usually translated verbatim into English Wikipedia, owing to many of the issues raised, or lack of verifiable references. I hope you will understand the "rollback" of the content, and will endeavour to explore those rules, prior to further edits. Meus cumprimentos.^{ruben jc} ZEORYMER (talk) 16:05, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
