@Diannaa Thankyou Diana. Apologies i was under the impression that if they were referenced to the source it would suffice. i will make sure to apply the above rules moving forward. Is it possible to get a copy of my edits that were reversed so that I can paraphrase the notes offline before re-adding them back? I spent many hours effort on this already and would prefer not to start again. Thanks in advance. ArzLibnan (talk) 23:15, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

The fact that the additions were part of a table makes it very difficult to separate the prose from the markup. Your additions all appeared to be from this document. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:33, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

@Diannaa ok, looks like I will just have to start again then. It was more the data in the table columns table minus the "notes" column (last column) where the paraphrasing is required. This is where half the effort is. Nevermind it will keep me busy & lessons learnt. Thankyou for your prompt reply nonetheless. ArzLibnan (talk) 00:57, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
