Rollback

Hi Negative24/Archives/2014/June. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! – Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:17, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Buridan Section of De Morgan's Laws

Hi There,

I am new to Wikipedia as an editor, though I am currently researching the medieval and ancient history of logic. I write because I am unsure how my contribution, which you deleted, goes against what Wikipedia is about. Would you point me to a specific clause in the page you sent me? I will read the whole thing in time, but I would like to see what is wrong here now to preserve it in my memory.

Thanks, B — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotus12 (talk • contribs) 20:21, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

@Scotus12: First of all, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry that I had to revert one of your first edits. Don't be discouraged by this. It will happen many times on Wikipedia and you will just have to collaborate to sort things out. Now, the reason I reverted your edit was because it was (in my opinion) an unnecessary detail. Most people will be able to find the book based on its title (which was provided). According to Wikipedia:Citing sources#Books, though, this is an optional feature in the cite template (the way the Wikipedians cite sources) but the reason that this is optional (I don't know if you've seen a cite tag) is because the ISBN and other details would be placed at the bottom of the article in a reflist (the list of sources that is placed at the bottom, usually in a section called 'References', 'Footnotes', or 'Notes'). I know this is a lot of information, especially for a beginner. I hope this cleared some things up. (Also, remember to sign your posts. I placed a welcome template on your talk page with instructions on how to do this and has some other useful information as well.) -24^Talk 21:03, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
