Revision as of 02:15, 25 October 2019
Middle Persian
[1] Basically all of what you said is wrong. Read the rules and don't make baseless accusations. If you can't even bother to put a simple citation or two to support the information you've added, tough luck. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:39, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- Rubbish. I've read the rules and what they say is that the burden of proof is on me in case of disagreement. They don't say that I am obliged to add a source, in advance, for every single change I make, and they don't say that you are supposed to disagree with every unsourced edit with no motivation and for no reason at all, which is what you did. Since I probably wouldn't have seen that you had undone my edits, I wouldn't have even known that you 'disagreed', if one can call it that, and I couldn't have added any sources. Thus, the effect of your revert was simply pointless obstruction, damage to the encyclopedia and ruining other people's well-intentioned work, which presumably makes you feel good and important.--87.126.23.210 (talk) 23:49, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- You added some bold claims, which needed to be sourced - you've deffo not read the rules. Also, keep assuming with those sad thoughts of yours as much as you want if it makes it feel you better. --HistoryofIran (talk) 23:54, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
- You see, the problem is that the claims seemed 'bold' to you, meaning that they surprised you, and the reason they surprised you can only have been that you didn't know much about Middle Persian, ergativity or both, which is nothing to be ashamed of per se, but in that case the right thing to do would have been to google 'Middle Persian' and 'ergative' and not to delete everything just because you didn't know it and waste my time. Automatically assuming that everything you didn't know before is wrong is a rather complacent attitude indeed.--87.126.23.210 (talk) 00:04, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
