The "Articles and books" section

[edit]

Is thie a list of sources used in the article or a recomendation list? Because if it's a group of source it would do well to be includede under the "References" header so it's more clear to the readers.★Trekker (talk) 12:07, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take care of that. Thank you ★Trekker--A.S. Brown (talk) 07:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Vandalism"

[edit]

I'm sorry for the slightly aggravated tone, but last year another editor Tintin888 had engaged in pointless duplication, for which I was unjustly blamed for. Recently another editor ImaginesTigers nominated this article for deletion as can be seen here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Powers of Darkness (Iceland). The result was to keep this article and remove the pointless duplication, which was the work of Tintin888. I was trying make a start at this, but another editor is accusing me of 'vandalism' for merely trying to undo the mess that Tintin888 created. I'm not 'vandalising' this article-just merely to get rid of the duplication.--A.S. Brown (talk) 07:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ImaginesTigers I was wondering if you care to comment about this. --A.S. Brown (talk) 07:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My guess here is that Dl2000 was patrolling for vandalism and didn't realise these edits were the agreed outcome of an AfD. If not, please don't undo A.S. Brown's work without talking here; it is meaningfully improving the page by separating it from Powers of Darkness (Sweden). I think Dl2000's reversion was probably in good faith. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 10:10, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As a side-note, I just tried to clean up the section headings... and it’s not easy. The article is so scattered. After you're done removing the duplicate content, take a look at the Manual of Style on Novels for ways to better structure the article. I'm still not convinced that the two shouldn't be merged, but we'll see what the shape of it looks like after. Right now the headings are very scattered; the entire article is confused. (Just call the book Powers of Darkness as the title—it’s the name in English, and the name of the article.) — ImaginesTigers (talk) 10:15, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ImaginesTigers: The guess is correct, it was patrolling. Regrets to A.S. Brown for the vandalism call, but a major reduction and removal of 54 citations requires a clearer edit summary justification than "Start working on differing this article". Referencing the AfD concerns, and perhaps adding rationale on this talk page, could have avoided the misunderstanding. Dl2000 (talk) 21:35, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
