Information icon Hello, I'm Versace1608. I noticed that you recently removed content from Davido without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 14:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I removed the content because it seemed like it was being implied that Davido got his degree because of his father’s payment. It didn’t sound neutral in any way, which is why I took it off. Moarnighar (talk) 15:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The source (The Fader magazine) did not imply that Davido "got his degree because of his father's payment". I don't know how you derived this false info from the source. Please re-read the sentence and the article.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 13:12, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Implied means to suggest, and not directly express. Hence why I said that was what the statement implied, that was how it was perceived. Moarnighar (talk) 18:29, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
“After returning to Nigeria in 2011, Davido paused his music career and agreed to honor his father by enrolling at Babcock University, from which he graduated in July 2015, with a degree in music after his father paid the university to start a music department for an inaugural class of one student.”
Reading the paragraph you posted, it implies that Davido graduated with a degree in music after his father paid the university. It would have been better to say his father paid for the establishment of the music department of the school. Moarnighar (talk) 18:37, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your interpretation and implication of the statement is irrelevant to what the statement actually states. The statement is very clear and I don't know how one can read it and draw a different conclusion. I'm not sure what neutrality has to do with Davido's father giving Babcock University money to start a music department. You're making it seem like the statement itself is controversial. If you believe the statement is controversial, you need to provide a reliable source that lends credence to this notion.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 14:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, write as you please. Moarnighar (talk) 19:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copy edits

[edit]

Many of your edits involve either splitting sentences into multiple sentences, or combining sentences into one. In many cases, they are not improvements. Each sentence should ideally cover a certain subject, if there are multiple things to say about that subject, there will be commas separating those things. If it's about a different subject, it will be a new sentence. This is a general rule to follow, each case is unique. Suggest try something different on Wikipedia besides copy editing, you seem focused on lead section first sentences, it gives the appearance of "I was here", or "need a lot of edits to launder account". -- GreenC 19:33, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I split sentences because they are either too short or too long, it’s common grammar. Moarnighar (talk) 21:57, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
