Thank you for your edit to Cain and Abel[edit]
Hi! I am Neonorange (talk to Phil) (he, they) and I just reviewed yor edit to Cain and Abel. I did no accept your edit, not because it was wrong, but because it did not improve the previous version.
The beginning of a Wikipedia article (otherwise known as the lede or lead) should be a short summary of the main text (where the facts in the lead are supported by citations).
The structure of your edit was fine, but in articles that reference several religions, I think extra care is warranted. So I changed your edit to more closely follow the citation supported material in the main text (regarded vs favored, killed vs murdered, cursed vs punished, wandering vs transience). Below are the sentences of your edits.
The brothers made sacrifices to God, but God favored Abel's sacrifice instead of Cain's. Cain murdered Abel, and thus God punished Cain through sentencing him to a life of transience.
I should have added an edit summary explaining my reversion. I apologize. — Neonorange — talk to Phil) (he, they) 01:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC) —
- Below is my edit of the same sentences; as you can see; there is really no right or wrong here:
The brothers made sacrifices, each from his own fields, to God. God regarded Abel's offering, but not Cain's. Cain killed Abel and God cursed Cain, condemning him to a life of wandering.
