Deletion of Some of My Edits

Mindmatrix: Thanks for your comments. In regards to my added section in Origins of Species, I have been reading both Origins of Species and Descent of Man and I was going to actually delete my paragraphs in Origins and transfer it to Descent. How would you feel about this, as long as I provide quotes from Charles Darwin's book? Can we just use the primary source rather than 3rd party writers?

In regards to deleting my Wendy Alec paragraphs, I don't have any 3 party writers to back up what I was saying. But I checked all the foreign Bible translators first and there were none that matched what Wendy Alec claimed in her visions. I think readers should be aware of this. I believe I made some good points. Yes, it did come across as personal opinion. Could I have reworded it a different way? Musa Isa 2020 (talk) 16:58, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

In both cases, it's best you discuss your proposed additions at the respective article talk pages (Talk:The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex and Talk:Wendy Alec). You can add what a book or person states (with sources), but the moment you interpret those words, you are adding opinion, so you will need to find sources as I indicated above. (Also be aware that when adding sources, you should be careful about synthesis of those sources. Also note that some the text you added was not in a neutral tone (for example, " I’m not against visions but everything needs to stand up to academic inspection"), and should never contain phrases such as the "book contains information that we can research" (which indicate editing actions to take and do not provide useful information to the reader). And your personal details ("I owned a 1937 suitcase from Shanghai") do not belong in an article. Much of what you posted should have been posted to the talk page to discuss what could be added to the article. I hope this helps. Mindmatrix 17:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
