Request to revert dubious edit by User:177.42.223.250

edit

Hi Tigercompanion25, you made an edit to Seneleleni Ndwandwe that fixed a typo in the previous edit, which was by User:177.42.223.250. Unfortunately, that previous edit was not constructive: it introduced two unsourced claims ((1) that Seneleleni Ndwandwe was born on 7 July 1928, and (2) that Seneleleni Ndwandwe is still alive), and removed one sourced claim (that Seneleleni Ndwandwe died in 1980). I have just spotted this, and discovered that User:177.42.223.250 seems to have a history of making unsourced claims about people's dates of birth. See, e.g.:

I am not directly editing the article, having declared a WP:COI (see above), but I would be grateful if you (or somebody else) could undo these edits. Thanks! zazpot (talk) 17:41, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I looked at the edits in question and agree with you. I got myself a little confused in my edit summaries (my apologies), but I believe I've fixed it so that the unsourced material added by User:177.42.223.250 is removed and the sourced death date restored.

Perfect. Thanks Tigercompanion25! The same anonymous user made a similar edit to Zihlathi Ndwandwe/Mkhatjwa, which you also then subsequently similarly edited. I will message you on that article's talk page accordingly, with links to the corresponding edits, and would be grateful if you can help out there as well, as you did here. Thanks again! zazpot (talk) 18:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
