Correction

Pardon me, Donald Albury, but I did not engage edit-war with Ddum5347. For I reverted his edit only once today, which is 30th Mar, not 26th Mar. I already saw the talk page of Ddum5347, and I think there's been a misunderstanding, for I did not revert or edit the page of gaur in 26th Mar. The page was fine until 27th Mar, where Ddum5347 edited it after he was unblocked. I only notice that today. After he reverted mine, it was Kevmin who reverted his edit. Please check the revision history of gaur again.--Manwë986 (talk) 23:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Manwë986, please see here, where Ddum changed the sentence, and the next edit, here, where you reverted Ddum. The same thing happened today. I don't care how long you wait before reverting someone, if you and another user are changing the same sentence back and forth, that is an edit war. Most of the time, a slow motion edit war may fly under the radar, but it hasn't been that long since you and Ddum were edit warring before. In any case, Ddum has now been blocked indefinitely. He may eventually convince someone to let him come back, but in the meantime, if you have a conflict with anyone on the contents of an article, discuss it on the talk page rather than reverting. - Donald Albury 23:42, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I seen that in the revision history, Donald Albury. And I only seen the 27th Mar edit on 30th Mar, and I reverted it. Yes, the only proofs I have are my words and my eyes. And I use my mobile phone to edit, and I don't visit Wikipedia very often. I don't shrink responsibility for that edit war with Ddum. So far, the only user who have opinions about that article is Ddum. And there's been unpleasant remarks made between him and BhagyaMani on 11th Mar, about edit warring and facts, and the word "dreadful" was included. Also, what I mean in my previous reply is this: Manwe reverted you on 26 March. You reverted Manwe today. Manwe reverted you again today". I didn't do that on 26th Mar. If you are referring to the edit war starting at 11th Mar, I don't object it. In conclusion, the other users have no opinions about that article, and I don't have any conflicts with anyone about the original information within the article. Sorry about the mess.--Manwë986 (talk) 00:48, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
• Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

• When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)

Hilton Daytona - External Link

HI i have added things to do page to Hilton daytona beach , I think that was useful for people searching for things to do near the beach. And i found the link useful https://www.daytonahilton.com/things-to-do

Let me know why it is considered wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.250.47.135 (talk • contribs)

Because Wikipedia is not a guide book and articles aren't meant to be travel tip sites. Articles are about the subject, not what is near the subject that tourists might find fun to go do. What you added violates our policy on WP:SPAM.Heiro 18:04, 14 April 2021 (UTC)\

Ok Thanks understood. Thanks for the guidance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.250.47.135 (talk • contribs) 1:55. 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Exact ramifications of 3RR

Hi Donald, I'd just like to know what exactly are the criteria for what constitutes the 3RR. I believe I have someone who may have broken the rule, but I am unsure if it infringes upon the rule. Thanks Ddum5347 (talk) 22:01, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

@Ddum5347: The 3RR rule is stated at Wikipedia:Edit warring#The three-revert rule. If you observe edit-warring, and warning notices to the participants have not stopped the edit warring, you can report it at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. - Donald Albury 00:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Moors

Hello. I know that the word "moors" is equivalent to Arab but the word "moor" was an insult and must be corrected as will it was called to flipino , sri lankas , indian and many of diffrent people the article should be more clear and wrote "arabs". The word "Nasrid" is the name of the kingdom, or at least "Emirate of Granada" should be written instead of the word small moor state Samlaxcs (talk) 21:17, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
