April 2018

Hello, I'm SamHolt6. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, White Helmets (Syrian Civil War), 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Edit warring

You have violated the consensus required provision of at least two separate articles, 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, and Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Please self-revert. Geogene (talk) 11:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Your edit on Help Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections

You restored content that was challenged on Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Because the article is subject to editing restrictions, you are not allowed to do that according to the prominent notice that appears when editing. The notice says:

You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article. You must not reinstate any challenged (via reversion) edits without obtaining consensus on the talk page of this article. You are required to abide by a civility restriction, and are subject to discretionary sanctions while editing this page.

You should use the talk page if you wish to seek consensus for including this material. Violating the page editing restrictions can result in you being blocked or topic banned.- MrX 🖋 11:14, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

• ApolloCarmb, if you don't know what you're doing, and if you think that terms like "Palestinian" and "ay-rab" and all that mean the same thing, don't be editing in that topic area. Cause right now it looks like you're just another right-winger/nationalist here to make a political point in our encyclopedia. Drmies (talk) 13:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
• And from the same article, this, the second time you remove a valid tag (after it had been restored by E.M.Gregory). You don't seem to understand the tag, which baffles me: the tag asks for location of "mention", meaning WHERE IN THE DOCUMENT, and you say "no necessary"? And earlier you removed it and said "The US gov is not good enough?" Well, the US government isn't necessarily a reliable or properly secondary source, but that is not a discussion I want to have right now. The document linked to is quite long, and an indication of where the mention is would be very handy; one can count paragraphs, for instance. So I restored the tag.

April 2018

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Stateless nation. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't your first warning about unsourced material, so you have no excuse. Doug Weller talk 12:10, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Let's keep this discussion together. You told me on my talk page the lead sentence is unsourced. Here it is: A stateless nation is a political term for an ethnic group or nation that does not possess its own state and is not the majority population in any nation state. Would you like to explain to me what is unsourced about that? We don't even need sources in the lead if they are in the body of the article. Doug Weller talk 12:14, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

References

I am not sure why that would exclude Texans. The lead says "or". Therefore a group (like Texans) does not need to be an ethnic group to be considered a "stateless nation".ApolloCarmb (talk) 12

19, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

No one is talking about Texans except you. In any case, it's unsourced. Doug Weller talk 12:31, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Your source has 11 pages related to Texas. What page discusses Texians (not Texans)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 13:18, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

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.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  5 albert square (talk) 15:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
