Hello, I'm Path slopu. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Reincarnation— because it did not appear constructive.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Ṛta into
Historical Vedic religion. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. —

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Ms Sarah Welch ( talk) 16:16, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
@ 212.241.98.39:, Regarding your addition of the Hexham source which states that monotheistic concepts are not native to subsaharan Africa, it seems to me that it, as I mentioned in an edit note, is too broad a statement to be included in a review of traditional African religion (which is extremely ancient an diverse), when it is contradicted by the opinions of other scholars who specialize in Africa (Hexham does not seem to be a specialist in African history, culture or religion, but rather a professor of religious studies generally). And although he, as you mention, is speaking broadly off Africa, the study does not seem to be an in depth study of subsaharan religion n general (which is, as mentioned, extremely ancient and diverse) The issue of weight ( WP:WEIGHT) seems to apply here; the article should reflect general scholarly opinion, and his statement/opinion seems a little sweeping, broad, and absolute as to be misleading (as it pertains to general scholarly opinion on the subject).
