Hi Arawoke! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

"'The true attraction from the first," Casement wrote, 'was not so much the presence of the scattered Hevea Braziliensis tress through out this remote forest, as the existence of fairly numerous tribes of docile, or at any rate of easily subdued Indians.' The ' 'civlized intruders' ' came to subjugate ('conquistar' is the Spanish word) the Indians, not to annihilate them. The exploiteres kept repeating that they were extending civilization to the Indians in the shape of profitable occupations. This was a travesty. Searching for words to convey the true essence of the system, Casement chose 'brigandage' and a 'system of armed extortion'" Jordan Goodman P 137, quoting R. Casement.
According to AJRC all the beans they ate in the region (In 1910 during Casement's journey) came from the Ucayali. AJRC P302

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Iquitos, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rioja. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

gobonobo + c 16:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)Hi Arawoke. If you going to be using short form references, e.g. {{
sfn}} templates, you may want to turn on the associated errors messages. Annoyingly they are by off by default.
Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Displaying error messages shows how to turn them on (it's not as difficult as that makes it seem, ask if you have any questions).
There are few issues with
Carlos Scharff, which all look like minor typos. You added "Dole 1994" but only "Dole 1998" is defined, similarly "Roux 1998" when only "Roux 1994" is defined, and "Chandless 2018" with "Chandless 2008" being defined. -- LCU

On 29 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Carlos Scharff, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that rubber barons like Carlos Scharff enslaved indigenous populations in the Upper Amazon region during the rubber boom as a workforce for latex collection? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Carlos Scharff. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Carlos Scharff), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello Arawoke, I just came across some of your edits while learning (for the first time somehow, and rather late in life at that!) about the horrific injustices perpetrated during the genocidal "rubber boom." I was interested in your username, as I studied briefly in the Caribbean (on the island of Montserrat), and noted the likely play on "Arawat"/"woke". Your user page indicates you are seeking collaborators for the important work you've undertaken, and I would like to "throw my hat in the ring" so to speak!
I have been an English language editor for 20 years, and I'm a member of the Copy Editors Guild, so at minimum I could tag in for any copy edits you'd like to request for articles you're working on submitting or improving. Despite completing coursework for a library science degree, I have been a bit intimidated to jump in with en.wiki's unique and complex referencing markup, so that's an area where I could potentially learn from following your examples and start practicing adding references.
My main career/area of expertise is technology, but I've found that to be a terrible frontier to contribute to on Wikipedia, with many aggressive "OWN"ership issues on various topics as well as a frequent occurrence of paid/COI contributors. I was so discouraged I almost quit editing en.wiki altogether. The crucial area you are focusing on documenting and expanding seems like a topic where I could learn a lot, as well as not bumping into so many aggressive editors with a secret agenda (though goodness knows, if the Amazon Rubber Company folks were still around today, they'd be trying to whitewash these pages in their favor).
Let me know what you think- I'm currently visiting family for ~2 weeks, and so I'm only set up to do copy editing, but upon my return home I could set up my computing environment to start finding and citing sources as well. My library science background leaves me well-suited to go looking for harder-to-find references, I've just been a bit nervous about the actual markup formatting and, of course, navigating which sources are reliable and which are not. I suspect that's a lot more straightforward when it comes to formal history than it is for emergent technologies in the present (it seems like about 90% of sources on tech do not, in fact, meet the definition of an "RS" here).
Thanks for your great work on this really important topic- I have been horrified to read of the conditions upon which this economic development in global history arose, the injustices were even worse than I could have imagined. To me, this drives home the importance of clear visibility for this topic, and spreading knowledge about it with clarity!
Best wishes, Chelsea aka Chiselinccc ( talk) 14:31, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
