"...which stages the story ad nasuem..." is incorrect; the term is "ad nauseam." If the word is misspelled in the passage being quoted, there should be a [sic] after "nasuem." ~~Mpaniello~~
"Hussein's rule was a repressive dictatorship[12] notorious for it's human rights abuses." You cite that he was a dictator but not that he was notorious for human rights abuses. While it may seem obvious (sic) to westerners it needs a solid citation. -thanks
@Skornezy Since you seem unwilling to familiarize yourself with WP:BRD, let me make this clear. Once your edit is disputed or reverted, you're expected to refrain from edit warring over it. Instead, you should seek consensus by initiating a discussion to explain why you think your changes are appropriate. Now is your chance to do that. Skitash (talk) 23:08, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"The BOLD, revert, discuss cycle (BRD) is one of many optional strategies that editors may use to seek consensus. This process is not mandated by Wikipedia policy, but it can be useful for identifying objections, keeping discussion moving forward and helping to break deadlocks. In other situations, you may have better success with alternatives to this approach. Care and diplomacy should be exercised. Some editors will see any reversion as a challenge, so be considerate and patient."
I guess you're not familiar with the things you cite.
