December 2017

Hello, I'm NeilN. An edit that you recently made to List of countries by suicide rate seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:21, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

The name of the country in English is Czech Republic --NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:24, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN:That was not a test edit. Czechia is also the name of the country in English. Please read Name of the Czech Republic. And remember that Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold. Thinker78 (talk) 01:35, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Thinker78: Being bold is encouraged. Continuing to edit after being told to stop and why is not. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 01:39, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN: Ok, I'm telling you to stop trying to own articles, per WP:OWN. That doesn't sound very nice does it. But really, read what that link says. You were in the wrong putting that warning about test edits. For some reason you don't want to own your mistake that you didn't know that Czechia was an actual name of the country. Cheers!

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of countries by intentional homicide rate by decade. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been 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 notice boards.
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. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 03:27, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I disagree with @NeilN:. I don't think that was an unconstructive edit. It was simply a bold edit. I think NeilN didn't know that Czechia is the other name of the Czech Republic. Thinker78 (talk) 23:05, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Thinker78: Please read the WP:COMMONNAME policy. Repeatedly editing against policy is unconstructive. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 23:52, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NeilN: I'm familiar with WP:COMMONNAME. Given that you are invoking policy and reverting other editor's edits, the onus is on you to prove that Czech Republic is the most commonly name used. Please don't expect a new editor to know all the policies of Wikipedia, tell him about this policy and submit your evidence that your version is the most common name.

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2001:14BA:2BE5:EE00:14C4:3CD1:E951:AC3C) is used to identify you instead.

I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing! Thinker78 (talk) 01:16, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
