User: Ehtech2000

I'm a relative newbie to the community, and I've read a lot of Wikipedia policy documentation recently, yet I admit I'm not cognizant of a lot of the 'community' based stuff. Forgive my ignorance of the norms of editors in this community. I am learning as I go.

I made an addition this evening to the Patchwork Man article, that I thought would benefit other users. The edit added note that a character called "patchwork man", having many similarities to the DC Comics Patchwork Man appears in the new Netflix series Altered Carbon. Within less than a minute -- in fact, it was probably less than 5 seconds -- my changes had disappeared, even though Wikipedia responded with a success message. I made the edit on my phone, I clearly explained in my comment the what and why of my edit. After about 2 minutes, I discovered that the edit had been reverted. This segment shows the pertinent revision history including my comment on what I contributed:


  • (cur | prev) 02:01, 10 February 2018‎ Drmies (talk | contribs)‎ . . (4,662 bytes) (-41)‎ . . (→‎Plot: the usual verbosity) (undo | thank)
  • (cur | prev) 02:00, 10 February 2018‎ Drmies (talk | contribs)‎ . . (4,703 bytes) (-450)‎ . . (Reverted to revision 805533963 by Jtalledo (talk): Rv: unverified trivia. (TW)) (undo | thank) (Tag: Undo)
  • (cur | prev) 01:59, 10 February 2018‎ Ehtech2000 (talk | contribs)‎ . . (5,153 bytes) (+450)‎ . . (→‎Plot: Adds popular culture section and reference to patchwork man and Russian twins in Netflix series Altered Carbon.) (undo) (Tags: Mobile edit, Mobile web edit)


So, now I have a few questions:

  1. I have visited both user Talk pages for User:Drmies and User:Jtalledo and they both are very confusing in their structure. For instance, as I believe that my contribution should not have been removed, I am trying to find away to communicate with the user that removed it.
  1. Where is the appropriate page to ask the user (in following the advice of this help post: http://ask.wikiedu.org/question/175/my-edits-got-deleted-what-do-i-do/) why they reverted my edit? In normal society I would try to communicate in private channels, but I can see no way to do that here (no 'message user' or any such thing).
  1. It appears to say that Jtalledo reverted my contribution, but the comment left is very terse "'unverified trivia'". This requires clarification. It is not trivia because it IS important new information.
  1. Based on the " TW link, I think some bot/software/app auto-reverted my change and left the 'unverified trivia' comment. How do I tell a software bot that it is wrong and that it may not be 'verified' information, but I'm watching it unfold in front of me??? Yes, that is frustration ... but, as long as Wiki has been around, I'm sure I'm not the first wiki editor to be frustrated because a robotic software zapped them.

If I did something wrong, please let me know clearly so that I can avoid that mistake in the future. Also, how do I cite a TV show I'm watching right in front of me? I'm not trying to be difficult, and I'm not asking for pity. I'm just trying to understand.

Any help is appreciated. -- Ehtech2000 (talk) 02:57, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
