editPlease do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 14:35, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- The source that I supported with my new content is a reliable source, the book is published by harvard university press [1], and the author is a respected historian; Albert Hourani. please don't make false claims that I add or change content without citing a reliable source.Durziil89 (talk) 14:38, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- 1) Like I said, that's passing mention in a book that isn't about the primary topics that you targetted. 2) You misrepresented the source in question by attributing the word "Christian" to it. M.Bitton (talk) 14:44, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- The information fit well with the history section, during the European period europeans formed a significant part of the population of these cities, I don't think there is problem adding that. About the Christian stuff I mixed that information with other inofrmation I read it in the source "Decolonization and the Remaking of Christianity" (published by University of Pennsylvania Press [2]), my fault that I did not add that source as well. I'm new here.Durziil89 (talk) 14:49, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Since you're new, I'll let the source misrepresentation slide. I suggest you start by familiarising yourself with our core content policies, including WP:RSCONTEXT. M.Bitton (talk) 14:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- I did not misrepresented the source the other informations about the Christian population was from the source "Decolonization and the Remaking of Christianity", from chapter 6, again my fault was not adding that source in the first place. Both sources are reliable both published by university press and authors are historians. Again what the problem with adding content about the European population in these cities in history or demographic section, as I said before they formed a significant part of the population (in some of these cities they formed the majority), it is part of the city history.Durziil89 (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- You most definitely misrepresented the source (A history of the Arab peoples). In any case, you have to decide: are you new and therefore could be forgiven for making a mistake or are you here trying to teach me how Wikipedia works? It's one or the other, it can't be both. M.Bitton (talk) 15:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- I added more sources in Oran article, and added a sentence for clarification. regards.Durziil89 (talk) 15:19, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

editPlease do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Christianity sidebar, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. As noted at the top of the page, you need to discuss and get consensus before removing links, especially before removing in bulk like you're doing. —C.Fred (talk) 15:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Dealing with consecutive vandalism edits
editHello, thank you for trying to undo vandalism at the Trial of YNW Melly article. However, you only undid one edit while the vandal made two. In the future, please either use the procedure for manual reversion described at Help:Reverting to undo all the edits, or use a tool like Twinkle or RedWarn, which also have the advantage that they can help you automatically warn users about vandalism.

editHello, I'm 81.187.192.168. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Game Boy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 81.187.192.168 (talk) 16:15, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:48A0:9D8D:DF97:EDE8 (talk) 16:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Copy editing
editHello. Why did you revert my changes at Glozel artifacts? 57.140.16.57 (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well, lacking a response, I'm going to assume this was a mistake - I'm not sure why you'd object to basic spellling, grammar and MOS fixes. But if you do, in fact, object, we can start a discussion on the talk page. 57.140.16.57 (talk) 20:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I moved the comma to the wrong place. Thanks Sjö! 57.140.16.57 (talk) 20:29, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Warning vandals and unconstructive editors
editHi! I see that you've been reverting a lot of problematics edits, in future please make sure you warn after (either through the use of templates or with a talk page message), as they're typically a prerequisite to administrator intervention with blocks if someone continues to make bad edits, and useful for people to know what they did wrong. Here's the bit of policy, and the templates for your convenience.
You might also find RedWarn or Twinkle useful in reverting vandalism with edit summaries and leaving warnings on talk pages. I use both of them. Apologies if you already knew this! Happy editing! :) Shaws username . talk . 19:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

editHello, I'm PersusjCP. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Introduction to contentious topics
editYou have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Disambiguation link notification for July 15
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tomb of Hazrat Omar, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Çatalköy. 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

editHello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Anna Paulina Luna: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 14:33, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Oppression Olympics. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 14:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:ECB9:6C1F:A8A:7409 (talk) 18:06, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Seconded; you RV my (correct) typo-fixing edit and seem to have a penchant for doing this on random IPs, regardless of if the edit is correct. Please add summaries for explaining your reasoning from now on 2A02:C7E:2F68:AC00:650B:736:6A6D:7C7 (talk) 18:52, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
Reversion?
editWhy did you do this edit? You simply reinstated punctuation errors that had been corrected by the edit that you reverted. See what WP:MOS says about hyphens and en-dashes. Michael Hardy (talk) 02:25, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- I assume because of an absent edit summary. But even with one present, this user reverted my edit earlier.
- The specific punctuation error the other IP fixed was MOS:ENBETWEEN
Use an en dash for the names of two or more entities in an attributive compound
in contrast tohyphenated personal names
. - I was going to convert this to a level 3 user warning but decided against it. It's because User:CFA at [3] probably also wanted an edit summary. 142.113.140.146 (talk) 20:23, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Unexplained reverts
editDurziil89, you have many messages on your talk page asking for an explanation as to why you are reverting seemingly helpful edit. I don't see you responding to any of the recent ones. If you are going to be doing vandalism patrol, you need to explain why you are making the reverts via an edit summary and, ideally, an explanation on the editor's talk page. If your reverts are questioned in good faith, you need to respond. Communication is required to edit here, so please ensure you are willing to explain your edits.-- Ponyobons mots 21:38, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- I noted the reason in the edit summary.Durziil89 (talk) 21:11, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- If you regularly included a valid explanation when reverting, or responded to the recent posts from other editors above, I wouldn't have left the message.-- Ponyobons mots 21:31, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Somali Canadians. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have been warned before about reverting good edits. Here [4] you reverted an IP's undo as "unsourced". The number is sourced, and IP was restoring the correct number. If you can't be bothered to check the existing sources you should not be making these edits. Meters (talk) 22:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved content from Latin American Muslims into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content (here or elsewhere), Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
