Sourcing problems in recent string of edits

Latest comment: 9 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

A bout of around 32 edits introduced a number of problems. First and foremost, the editor overwrote their own addition of citations in the Christian humanism section they added. I went back to see if I could work out what sources these were intended to be, and in so doing discovered that this possibly introduced original research cited by primary sources. As such, I removed the section until that issue can be clarified and resolved. I also notified the editor at their user talk page, so hopefully they can contribute to this discussion, clarify, and possibly fix the issue. ButlerBlog (talk) 15:09, 3 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
