Happy editing! Peaceray (talk) 22:56, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

December 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on People's Liberation Army Support Base in Djibouti. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

January 2024

I can see you are a new editor, but you have already been warned by User:Macaddct1984 about Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Unfortunately, at Acre (state), you are again edit warring, this time to restore unsourced content which another editor has removed because it is unsourced--and according to them--contentious and untrue. Please take a moment to read WP:BURDEN, which is a cornerstone policy on Wikipedia. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Another warning

You continue to violate wp:burden. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khaneh_Shahr_Hall&diff=prev&oldid=1195511799 As you have been warned now a number of times above.

Yet you continue doing exactly what you were warned for. By a number of editors now.

WP:BURDEN is clear. This has now been explained to you a number of times. Your arguments that what you are controversially disagreeing with is "not controversial," and that it is not OR (this is precisely what OR is), are unavailing. And now you have increased your violations of wp:burden, after your warnings, with a slew of violations below.

thanks for taking the time to correct me on my reverting your tendentious edits.

I'm here to learn about these things; you seem to know a lot about how to carefully remove well written and uncontentious content around one specific topic of which you seem quite invested.

good on you for the primer, and for pointing, unintentionally, where the worst soft vandalism is occurring.

have a wikipedia day, Augmented Seventh (talk) 15:45, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

You appear not to have taken the above warnings by multiple editors -- three different editors in the past three weeks -- to heart. And understood wp:burden. The test for inclusion is not whether as you incorrectly believe whether the text is "well written." It is whether it is supported by reliable sources. If removed for lack of reliable sources, it is obviously a point of contention as to whether it should be included. And to restore it, you must provide inline RS refs. You have repeatedly flouted the rule. I would appreciate you abandoning that approach, and think it to your benefit to do so, as continued editing against wp rules can result in blocks. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:3875:8D93:E6B4:D38 (talk) 19:49, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

you seem to have a great sense of humor, and I'm glad you're playing along helping me create an online encyclopedia.

your adherence to protocol as regards policy, when it suits your poorly thought out edits, is admirable.

your concern about my tenure is misplaced; i remain the oldest active editor, and created large sections of the physics articles before wiki even came online.

be best, little soldier, Augmented Seventh (talk) 00:33, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I expressed no concern about your tenure; I believe you are confusing my edits with those of User:Magnolia677. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:64F9:FE25:4DEC:9B39 (talk) 06:24, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Martin Luther King Sr.: 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. To apply these warnings, you can use Twinkle or RedWarn, or you can do it manually. Thanks! Thriftycat ^{Talk • Contribs} 19:43, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

thank you for taking the time to instruct regarding tools and procedures.

thanks in advance, Augmented Seventh (talk) 19:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Capital High School (Boise, Idaho), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You added an alumnus without linking to her article, and you provided a non functioning URL as a source. Meters (talk) 01:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Reverting edits

Hello, please make sure that when you undo or revert edits on a page that you consistently leave warning messages on the user's talk page. Twinkle can help you with this. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:22, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

i don't use that feature, thank you.

thanks for helping keep my encyclopedia accurate,

s Augmented Seventh (talk) 15:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Per WP:WARNVAND, you really need to warn users. If they don't see an explanation of what they've done wrong, then they will often continue with the problematic behaviour. They might also be scared away from making future constructive edits.

As said above, Twinkle makes warnings extremely easy (just a couple clicks!), and it makes reverting faster as well. Thriftycat ^{Talk • Contribs} 15:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

i don't use those tools when i edit, and i don't interact in that way with editors.

thanks for the heads up on the new tech. Augmented Seventh (talk) 05:32, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Cave wolf

You have reverted my edits without an edit summary nor a good reason. Please reinstate them or I will not hesitate to WP:ANI you. You have 24 hours from now to make the changes. 14.2.205.177 (talk) 05:11, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

vulgarity was the reason, but upon closet inspection and reading over the citations, there was copius changed sourced information without new proper attribution.

if you would like to source properly and re-submit those for addition, that would be fantastic.

i think i left a message on your page, upon seeing the vulgarity, expressing my reasoning.

have a wikipedia day, Augmented Seventh (talk) 05:16, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

All information was appropriately referenced, the nonsense offered above as reasons are not acceptable. The 24 hour timeline remains the same. Then we shall see what the denizens of the WP "blood sports" page makes of it, and your edit history. 14.2.205.177 (talk) 05:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

ok, fellow editor.

not sure what you're up to, but if seems quite important to you. we're just keeping things accurate and appropriate.

you inserted a random vulgarity, we reverted it.

we have explained, in written response, the reasoning.

thank you for helping up create an online encyclopedia, Augmented Seventh (talk) 05:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

You can knock off the "we", this matter is all about you alone. You would be well-advised to start preparing your case. 14.2.205.177 (talk) 05:34, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

You have one minor point, the term Relationshits crept in due to error "Relationships" and "its". However, you could have simply amended that word, rather than reverting 11 edits - there was no good reason to do that. The clock continues to tick. You will have the wonderful opportunity to explaining to your superiors how the common English word "mishit" is a vulgarity. 14.2.205.177 (talk) 05:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Note from SPI

Hi, Augmented Seventh. I pinged you at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Saintstephen000 regarding my reversal of your previous account's vanishing. Since this bit of my message there is a warning, I'm copying it here just so there's no question of whether you saw it:

I am not going to block either of your accounts right now, but please make sure to comply with WP:VALIDALT. I'd strongly recommend sticking to one account, either the old one or the new one; if you do need an alt account for any reason, I would strongly recommend disclosing it publicly or, if necessary for privacy reasons, to ArbCom. And logged-out editing, when you have a perfectly good account, is best avoided entirely, because at a certain point a checkuser may well find that you are doing so to evade scrutiny. Furthermore, please note that a future retirement or vanishing while under AN/I scrutiny or similar may be looked at much less sympathetically by administrators.

Happy editing, and please let me know if you have any questions. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 15:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

thank you for the information. everything you surmised was correct.

i have had different log-ons over the decades, mostly due to life changes and the resultant editing breaks.

i had vanished the prior account simply to fresh start and to examine the procedure and how it would affect my efforts towards keeping an online encyclopedia accurate (no easy task!)

originally, i had assumed that old sign in names would be subjected to an internal churn, i can see now that is not the case.

thank you again for instruction, Augmented Seventh (talk) 18:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Failing to warn when reverting vandalism

 You have been consistently failing to warn users. You have forgotten to do so many times today after reverting their vandalism or mistakes. If you don't want notify users of your reverts to their changes, then stop reverting their changes. jayhawker6 (talk) 00:10, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

i do not have the ability to communicate directly with editors regarding uncontroversial reversions.

i understand that is recommended protocol.

i will look into your suggestions.

thank you for the heads up, Augmented Seventh (talk) 00:14, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

@Augmented Seventh,

Please remember to warn users about their mistakes. Try Twinkle or Redwarn as they make reverting and warning users easy to do. If you do not want to use these tools, read Wikipedia:WARNING for list of user warnings to add to user pages. Thank you! Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 22:01, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

thanks for the heads up. i occasionally leave conversational notes on user pages, words of encouragement and such.

Disambiguation link notification for February 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Isabella Rositano, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Planking. 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) 06:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Recent comment on User talk:GoldenDuck47

Hey, I don't know if you know this but there are templates for responding to unconstructive edits. "your recent edit added nonsense to the article. it has been removed." while accurate, it isn't particularly informative or helpful to the user you are warning. I would suggest reading the tail end of this page Wikipedia:Disruptive editing and using a template like Template:Uw-disruptive1 in the future. And for obvious vandalism (I looked at the edits, they looked like vandalism to me) refer to Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol and Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings. Thanks! ZombiUwU ^{(💬 ~♥~ 📝)} 08:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

those templates sure are a time saver.

the language they use preclude my adoption, i have watched the verbiage change over the decades and disagree with their content.

i don't participate in light threatening and stern warning, and the like. mostly i just encourage better behavior.

thanks for the heads up and instruction, Augmented Seventh (talk) 14:58, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Mostlymatthias

I don't think you needed to post the same message to this user across both accounts, given that there is potential WP:COI sockpuppetry going on here. I am going to refrain from reporting it to SPI for now, but I have watchlisted the page because of these issues. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Restore option

Kindly use the restore version option instead of reverting every single unsourced edit made by other editors on a single article. Saves you time and preserves the history log for a longer time. Thank you Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 08:14, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. 203.189.116.236 (talk) 02:13, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

you're still making unconstructive edits by removing the word Roman from links to the Roman Catholic Church, and you're claiming by fiat that the word is unnecessary.

i strongly disagree.

thanks for helping me keep it accurate, Augmented Seventh (talk) 02:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Multiple reversions of my edits

I would like to talk to you about your unwarranted, constant reversion to my edits in multiple articles. The usage of the term "Roman Catholic" to describe the entire denomination is inaccurate considering that the Eastern Catholic Churches (which are NOT Roman Catholic) exist within the Catholic Church. You are also reverting my link simplifications returning them to the absurd long form of [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]] when simply writing [[Catholic Church]] would suffice. The main article for that church itself is named simply as the Catholic Church. That alone is enough precedent to justify simplyfying the terminology regarding that church across Wikipedia. You are also reverting links named [[Catholic Church in Country X]] to [[Roman Catholicism in Country X]] despite the former being more accurate and it being the ACTUAL name of the article in the links. For instance, the Ethiopian Catholic Church is not synonymous with Catholic Church in Ethiopia since the Ethiopian Catholic Church is an Eastern Catholic Church and is only subset of the Catholic Church in Ethiopia which also includes members of the Latin (Roman) Church in Ethiopia. In the instance of the article about Jakarta Cathedral, you reverted my edit back to the jarring and repetitive version which reads "Jakarta Cathedral (Indonesian: Gereja Katedral Jakarta, Dutch: Kathedraal van Jakarta) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is also the seat of the Roman Catholic archbishop of Jakarta" when it could be better written as "Jakarta Cathedral (Indonesian: Gereja Katedral Jakarta, Dutch: Kathedraal van Jakarta) is a Catholic cathedral in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is also the seat of the Archbishop of Jakarta" 203.189.116.236 (talk) 03:11, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

CS1 error on Greeley Central High School

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Greeley Central High School, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 07:00, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Header-change

In this edit, you changed the header from "Incidents" to "School shooting". While it was a shooting on the school property, the term school shooting seems an incorrect connotation. It wasn't in the school building, at a school-related event on the property, or during school hours. And though our article says the victim was a teacher, the ref doesn't support that fact, let alone that she was a teacher at this particular school. The previous wording seems less loaded, in keeping with the lack of relationship of the event to the school proper. Any thoughts about changing it back? DMacks (talk) 04:29, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

good catch. I'll do so promptly. Augmented Seventh (talk) 04:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain this? How is that article an attack page? -- Whpq (talk) 19:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

going over the months long edit war, i noticed the recent removal of speedy deletion tags by editors involved with rapidly inserting and deleting content best left to the talk page.

i readded, but apparently incorrectly.

thanks for the heads up,

Augmented Seventh (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

That is not an adequate explanation. How is it an attack page? Furthermore, there was no edit war or removal of speedy deletion tags. Those speedy deletion requests were addressed by me. -- Whpq (talk) 19:51, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

looking back over the edits on my phone, i may have gotten two articles confused. i was looking at an article with rhetorical air qoutes, disparaging unsourced comments about the scientist's work, and a month long back and forth containing blanking and odd grammar.

I've noticed your fight against vandalism (which is great!) and recommend Twinkle. Twinkle is a Javascript application that makes it easier to revert vandalism and warn users. I use it all the time.

Of course, you are not "forced" to, but I'm just recommending the tool as it makes reverting easy.

Sincerely,

Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) at 18:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I've hesitated adopting newer script tools for many a year; my recent crusade, with the multiple attendant self created errors, pushes me towards following my well-wishers counsel.

Mike Gilbert; is he notable?

I have started a discussion as to whether Mike Gilbert is notable enough. I don’t know if you had noticed it earlier so I put a new subject to get notice. 17:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC) 92.17.198.220 (talk) 17:35, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

Removed edit warning on Kate Armstrong

Hi I have removed your edit warning on Kate Armstrong (artist). First, you did not provide any proof of COI on the talk page. If you give a warning, be sure to describe why you are putting this warning here. On reading your talk page, it seems as if there is a history of unproven warnings.

Reverting edits

Please take a look at edits before you revert them. The one you reverted was de-duping a citation that had been repeated five times, and others were doubled. The only part of the edit worth a discussion was the quote removal, which you could have edited constructively or discussed on the talk page. This kind of hasty reverting can be considered disruptive editing. 71.187.156.92 (talk) 18:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

thank you for taking the time to instruct me regarding generally accepted editing protocol regarding reverting spurious and tendentious additions to the encyclopedia.

rest assured, i read nearly all of the edits, and the sources, and the edit history, for all of my gentle corrections.

i do, however, on occasion make mistakes.

thanks again, and have a Wikipedia day. Augmented Seventh (talk) 19:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Your edits at Nepo baby

I have reverted you edits at Nepo baby because you needlessly removed images which were valid in illustrating the article subject. If you disagree with this, please start a discussion at Talk:Nepo baby. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 20:57, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

i think I'll defer. my disagreement with the inclusion of selective representative images of living persons for the purpose of illuminating an article addressing a slur; my opinion is neither strong enough nor sufficiently well-informed for the task of defending the change. thanks for staying on top of things, Augmented Seventh (talk) 21:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. 12.75.41.81 (talk) 04:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

howdy lil partner,

no idea what git yer dander up like that, but i ain't been battling no where no how with any vandal or pov pusher. been laying low here in the the foothills of the headlands.

if you could kindly point me toward this skirmish, i could likely settle up rightly quick.

thanks in advance, and have yourself a Wikipedia day, Augmented Seventh (talk) 04:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

You reverted my edit while a conversation was open on the talk page. Can you explain where in the book of mormon a province named Deseret is mentioned? If not, can you explain why you added information about a later proposed state (with its own article) to an article about the usage of the word IN the book of mormon? 12.75.41.81 (talk) 04:20, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

oh, them there edits bout the ol cjclds. i reckon i be noticed a largish chunk of properly sourced, cited, and relevant content being removed all willy nilly, and i reverted to its previous form.

i was plum unaware of the tendentious and strident tone of the editor removing the content, otherwise i might of headed over to them talky talk pages, and explained to the kids why i reverted the edit, why it didn't rise to exit warring, and why it's best to mind the dragon in the doorway.

have yourself a wikipedia day, fellow editor, Augmented Seventh (talk) 04:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I agree with you

I agree with you here, but the editor keeps on whitewashing, reverting you, and editing against consensus.

Fallen Leaf Lake Notable People

How can these be considered "Grasping re Notability"?:

1) Anita Baldwin was an heiress to one of the pioneering "robber barons" of early Californian-Lucky Baldwin (Lucky Baldwin - Wikipedia). When she died in 1939 she left her $20 million to estate to various charities. Santa Anita horseracing track is named after her, and the following California landmarks are named after her family: Baldwin Hills, Baldwin Park, Baldwin Ranch in Seal Beach

2) Charles "Kip" Theriot was the great grandson of the founder of one of the oldest surviving newspapers in the Western United State, the San Francisco Chronicle, Charles de Young (Charles de Young - Wikipedia). In his own right, he served on the Boards or was Director of 10 different community, charity, or philanthropic organizations (of three major California companies, and 10 charitable, philanthropic, or community organizations (Charles Thieriot Obituary (1947 - 2021) - San Francisco, CA - San Francisco Chronicle (legacy.com) 2603:8000:713F:79F:9971:8D2C:BD0E:6249 (talk) 18:45, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

howdy,

being related to someone who has established notability, isn't in itself notable.

the accomplishments you list perhaps belong in a Wikipedia page regarding the non-notable person in question, at which time we could have another look.

you seem to be quite passionate about this addition, and you seemingly possess significant knowledge of the people discussed.

editing your own information is discouraged, and the children of notable people are not notable by family ties.

you could read this covered exhaustively, or ask over at the Wikipedia Treehouse, where you will find pointers on editing biographical articles.

thanks for helping with the encyclopaedia,

regardless, editing ones own Wikipedia page is discouraged. Augmented Seventh (talk) 18:57, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

howdy fellow editor,

It looks like you have a real experience when it comes to edit wars.

Please remember the rule : "If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors".

If not, we will have to ask for some help, but keep in mind erasing other editors contents without talk or reasons is vandalism.

Also, you have not been respecting the WP "Three revert rule" recently. That is a serious reason to block your profile, please keep that in mind, thanks.

howdy there,

this section needs balance, and this sourced paragraph you are attempting to remove supplies it

and please, fellow editor, contain your disparagement.

thanks in advance, Augmented Seventh (talk) 14:39, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

The criticism section needs more balance? Your ability to comprehend english is lacking. May I suggest http://hi.wikipedia.org 2605:B100:1130:ACA7:D79:21D0:86FD:8A6C (talk) 14:40, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Opinion pieces from a notoriously biased publication defending their founder against satire do not meet the definition of "balance" in Western english parlance. What is your native language? 2605:B100:1130:ACA7:D79:21D0:86FD:8A6C (talk) 14:41, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Also 100% unclear how such content rises to the level of "notable". This is not a comedian mock-murdering an effigy of the president on national television, and in fact seems to have been a literary device subsequently heavily used by NatPo. So, it's totally irrelevant. Also there is nothing controversial about hating Black, a convicted felon, in mainstream Canadian society. Curious to hear your thoughts. 2605:B100:1130:ACA7:D79:21D0:86FD:8A6C (talk) 14:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

WP:HOUNDING is a form of harassment and following IP users you believe to have a shared purpose or to be one person or not to cast WP:ASPERSIONS is harassment with personal attacks.

IP editors are human too, yes. I'm an IP editor too and I'm not in fact a bot! But it's easier to talk to us as human beings when we don't use a new IP address from a new provider and presumably through some new proxy, for every edit. Is there a reason you're doing that?? 76.6.213.65 (talk) 10:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

thank you for taking the time to instruct regarding what you feel to be correct editing.

in this particular instance, you're incorrect, but i appreciate the strident and baffling attempt at article ownership, as the campaign to create a preferred version of this article was instructive.

I'll go back and check the multiple tendentious edits, and see where your specific ip range fit into the mess.

We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Hello, I'm OXYLYPSE. I noticed that you recently removed content from Black Bolt 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. The content was sourced, no need to blank the page. OXYLYPSE (talk) 10:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

November 2024

Your recent editing history at An (Chinese surname) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please just be mindful of this rule going forward. If you run into this kind of problem try taking it to the talk page so the community can hash it out. I'm going to protect the page for a couple days so hopefully this goes away. Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:57, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Good evening.

I'm reverting blatant serial vandalism.

I've been attempting to keep spurious and unsourced content from being edited into the Chinese surname pages.

It consists of daily additions of unsourced nonsense names, completely outside of the mission of the encyclopedia.

If you have suggestions or accepted protocols outside of reverting the nonsense, i could use help.

I've tried warnings, but it's an ip hopping situation; last week, added under the Ma surname was "Ma Bell".

thank you for the heads up, Augmented Seventh (talk) 06:03, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

04:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC) Hello,

I’ve noticed that when determining reliable sources, you tend to prioritize materials from the aggressor nation over those from victimized countries or third-party states. It’s unclear why—perhaps due to a focus on English-language sources? The translation or communication limitations of victim nations shouldn’t justify ignoring their perspectives in favor of the aggressor’s.

I’ve attached newspapers from the victimized countries. While they’re not in English, AI tools can easily translate images of text. As stated, language barriers are no excuse to disregard their narratives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.243.41.204 (talk) 04:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to address your unsourced edits.

my suggestion is to always use scholarly sources as applies to scholarly content.

i think that will help you address the problems you're having with inserting the dubious content into surname pages.

Ma Bell, the phone company, doesn't belong in an article focused on the Chinese surname, Ma.

thanks for the heads up, Augmented Seventh (talk) 04:42, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad'age. I was addressing the wrong wikipedian.

Hello, I’m new to editing and learning how to properly format references.

Could you give me some advice on citing sources from Wayback Machine. Some of these sources don’t have DOIs because they’re quite old.

I’d appreciate guidance rather than simply having my edits redone.

Best! 98.243.41.204 (talk) 05:26, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

P.S. I trust there’s no bias involved, and this is purely about citation formatting. I sincerely apologize and will correct my referencing in future edits. I hope you’ll adjust rather than completely redo my changes. Thanks again! 98.243.41.204 (talk) 05:36, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
