May 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Look, try here. That explains why the sources you used can't be used as primary/secondary sources and you need to find something other than another encyclopedia to use.

Cited from Wikipedia:V#Reliable_resources:

What counts as a reliable source

The word "source" in Wikipedia has three meanings: the work itself (a document, article, paper, or book), the creator of the work (for example, the writer), and the publisher of the work (for example, Oxford University Press). All three can affect reliability. Material from reliable non-academic sources may also be used, particularly if it appears in respected mainstream publications. Other reliable sources include university-level textbooks, books published by respected publishing houses, magazines, journals, and mainstream newspapers. Electronic media may also be used, subject to the same criteria.

In this concept of Wikipedia, I add reliable sources, which are of academic books, and the publishers of the works are such as Oxford University Press and University of California Press etc. In the meantime, my resources are all published on the Internet, so you can check them on the Google books. Please don't remove the resource, otherwise I see your behaviour like a kind of vandalism. BozokluAdam (talk) 16:02, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Babur shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Sitush (talk) 15:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

In the meantime, you are also about to involve in an edit war because you performed several reverts on the page Babur within a 24-hour period. While warning others, you should also pay attention to your own manners. I didn't know that rule, but I'll care about it from now on, but the same for you I hope. BozokluAdam (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:31, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

You were edit-warring against several other editors, and when several people dispute your version of an article, you must stop, discuss it on the article's talk page, and wait to see if you can get a consensus in support of your version - and do not revert again until you achieve such a consensus. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:33, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I'm sorry, but I didn't know the rules about edit-warring before the third edit because I'm new in Wikipedia. And I think I didn't undo three times, instead I might have edited it with three times.

Decline reason:

You've been warned. Ignoring the warning or failure to actually read the mentioned 3RR policy (as evident from this request) is not a reason to unblock. Max Semenik (talk) 17:14, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

BozokluAdam (talk) 16:46, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

It can still be seen as edit-warring even if you do not revert 3 times, especially if others have tried to explain it to you that you should discuss contested changes on the talk page. But if you have a read of WP:EW, and then agree to stop edit-warring and seek consensus on the talk page, I'll be happy to unblock you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:53, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

The contributor continued to reinstate the content after 3RR was explained to them. There have been at least six reverts in total, one of which was after the warning placed above and after some explanation both at my talk page and at Talk:Babur. There have also been numerous other issues of a failure to understand policy etc and I really do think that this contributor needs some time to properly read up on things before being unblocked. 24 hours, at least. - Sitush (talk) 16:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, on second thought, I agree - the rushing headlong into escalating disputes rather than calmly discussing disagreements does not indicate a collegial approach. BozokluAdam - spend some of the next 24 hours reading about edit warring, consensus, and battlefield behaviour, and have a good read about Wikipedia's 5 pillars. And if, after that, you can satisfy me (or another reviewing admin) that you are going to follow our standards of collegial cooperation, then you can be unblocked. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:05, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Third Opinion noticeboard

I have again reverted your report at WP:3O. The introduction to that noticeboard says, "Third opinion is a means to request an outside opinion in a dispute between two editors. When two editors do not agree, either editor may list a discussion here to seek a third opinion." In this instance, there was way more than one editor who expressed concern regarding your contributions to Babur and therefore 3O is inappropriate.

Your best recourse would probably be WP:DRN. However, I strongly suggest that instead of rushing there when your block expires, you instead continue to discuss at Talk:Babur. This is because your understanding of policies is pretty fatally flawed and because dashing round various dispute resolution noticeboards within 24 hours or so of finding yourself in a dispute is not usually a sign of a collegial style of editing.

I hope that you can spend some of the next 48 hours reading up on the various policies etc that have been pointed out to you. Yes, you do now seem to have taken a look at them but you have done so in a very selective manner. It would be best to read the entirety of those articles and appreciate that they are not intended to be used in a cherry-picking manner. Feel free to query anything that you do not understand when you return, but please do not head straight back in there and reinstate the disputed content again. - Sitush (talk) 16:55, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I was warned after I changed the third revert, and soon after I've been banned. Anyway you also reverted the article three times within 24 hours. So you should also be banned: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Babur&action=history

So what do you think about this issue? BozokluAdam (talk) 18:39, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Have you actually read WP:3RR? The word "revert" has a meaning different from that which you imagine, and you had added the disputed content on five occasions prior to the warning being issued. As for me, even if I had "reverted" three times in 24 hours, it would not be a breach of the rule; and the circumstances of my reverts were somewhat different from yours. BTW, you have not been banned: a block is not the same as a ban. - Sitush (talk) 19:01, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

I see. Anyway, make a research on the ethnicity of Babur till I come back to Wikipedia (possibly 48 hours later). You'll see that all reliable resources describe him as a Chagatai Turk (Uzbek in modern concept, of Turkic). And it's nonsense that you object to this fact even though you don't have any resource for that. We should agree on this fact before I focus on the other parts of that article.
