Dalmatia reverts[edit]
You made a revert on the Dalmatia article, but you have not provided any reason why the content should stay. Since you are supposed to have a arguments-based reason for readding content, you need to explain that. Ktrimi991 (talk) 20:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, I reverted a user who removed a swath of information under the claim that the onus was on the user adding the content. But given it was long standing content that was removed, I would have thought the onus would be on them. After looking now that you made edits there previously outlining issues you had with potential weak sourcing, perhaps make the edits you seem fit or make mentions on the talk page expanding on what sources you have concern with? I see another user after me removed some stuff so not sure if that includes content you removed earlier? I see there was a back and forth of reverts. Is the consensus that Dalmatia is thought to solely come from an old Albanian word as to their being doubt? I’m not fully well read on the matter. I assumed there would be a discussion on the talk page about it. But neither sides of the discussion initiated one. Perhaps again just make the edit and on the talk page explain your reasoning. If no one challenges with their own explanation, then I don’t see any further reason for undoing your edit. Cheers. OyMosby (talk) 19:02, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Since the most problematic stuff, the part sourced to a decades-old sources not supported by any other source, has been removed, I might leave the rest on the article and just modify the wording a bit so it makes more sense. I will give it some more thought. The etymology of ancient names usually is a matter of guessing for scholars, more rumour than fact-based research. Noone can tell if "Delmatae" meant this or that; at least we try to provide readers with scholarship-backed opinions that have some recent supporters.
