Hi, I'm Salimfadhley. Docentation, thanks for creatingIngando!
I've just tagged the page, using ourpage curation tools, as having some issues to fix. You cannot use Wikipedia (or any other Wiki site) as a source for a Wikipedia article.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment onmy talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers atthe Teahouse.

Hello Docentation, Jarrvis here. You're quite right - 'self-contradictory' can appear a harsh label. However, what I suggested was self-contradictory was not the use of two different sources with two different claims. If anything, that would be sound academic practice, to point out the diversity of views. What I suggest is self-contradictory was the claim that the Ingando camps were first used in a particular context (even before the Rwandan Civil War), and then an immediate follow-up claim (with no effective caveats made whatsoever) that they were post-Civil War instruments.
Regarding your second question, it appears clear that where conflicting views from the sources exist, the views ought to be clearly set out (along with the supporting source material). Having reviewed the alleged "sources", I can find little evidence that the deleted one is genuinely any support for the claim it purportedly made. The link was at best tenuous, and quite simply superfluous. In this context, its being elided appeared eminently justifiable to me.

Hi Docentation, hope you're doing well
Just wanted to drop you a note aboutNational People's Congress Decision on Hong Kong national security legislation and the{{current}} template, as I saw you reverted my bot's removal of the template from there.{{current}}, per its documentation, is meant to be usedin those extraordinary occasions that many editors (perhaps a hundred or more) edit an article on the same day
, and notto mark an article that merely has recent news articles about the topic; if it were, hundreds of thousands of articles would have this template, with no informational consequence
. Therefore, what my bot does is remove the{{current}} template from any article that's not been edited in more than five hours, because the need for the template is removed - the indication that "this article isn't stable because it's still developing" isn't necessary.
I hope that makes sense, let me know if you have any questions - the bot is still going through approval with theBot Approvals Group, and your input is welcome!
All the best,Naypta ☺ |✉ talk page |16:50, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created,Public Finance Ordinance, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations fromreliable,independent sources.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is ofcentral importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft todraftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia'sgeneral notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Mccapra (talk)14:15, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Docentation! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such astypo corrections or reverting obviousvandalism. Any edit that changes themeaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please seeHelp:Minor edit for more information.
