Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Lemba people has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. "chart adjustments" as an edit summary when you are actually deleting well sourced text about the conclusion of a study, restoring bad grammar, and restoring a chart that is not encyclopedic and adds nothing to this particular article.

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you recently removed content from Lemba people 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. Doug Weller talk 13:14, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Please stop this. If you have an argument for removing the sourced conclusion, adding your sentence fragment which makes no sense, and your chart, please use Talk:Lemba people. Thanks. Continuing to remove the sourced conclusion is approaching vandalism. Not quite, but close, especially with your misleading edit summary. Doug Weller talk 13:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
My apologies for removing the source maternal from previous. But I did notice that the "DNA testing" section of the page was lacking in more comprehensive information. I’ve been trying to edit on the mobile version - which is extremely glitchy - which is the reason I was seemingly making edits with no explanation as to why as not to lose what I had wrote and cited. Sanali.SD ( talk) 13:24, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
I created a chart because I assumed it was permissible after looking at Romani and Tuareg ethnic groups' pages. In my defence not many genetic study have been done of Lemba people which detail the Haplogroups in a way past 2005 except for Soodyall's research. Sanali.SD ( talk) 13:53, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Lemba people, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Sena is an alleged city, not a name for Lemba, semitic refers to languages, not features, there are sources for Islamic practices so I restored that also. Doug Weller talk 12:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
I’ll retrace everything from before and add sources but Sena or (Ba-Sena) is actually the Lemba endonym (as noted by Rudo Mativha in "The Basena/Vamwenye/Balemba") whereas "Lemba/Remba/Mwenye/Va-Lungu/Va-Shavi" are all exonyms derived from various other groups and tribes. Sanali.SD ( talk) 12:30, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Fair enough Sanali.SD ( talk) 15:11, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
Yes, where you’ve placed it seems reasonable but if you feel like it’s inappropriate I won’t object to you removing it. Sanali.SD ( talk) 17:38, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
From Jewish to Semitic speaking? Doug Weller talk 20:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
Hello Sanali.SD! Your additions to Lemba people have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. I hope that's the only place where you've copied from a source. Thank you.

You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

At Lemba people, "Tudor Parfitt interprets that the legend about the destruction of the boat and the division of the tribe is perhaps a way of explaining the fact that Lemba clans are to be found in several separate locations. However, it could equally be taken as an expression of a fractured sense of identity". I thought it was your speculation. By the way, see [1]. Doug Weller talk 07:21, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
