Hi, thank you for your kindness. I hope you are having a good day and I hope you have a Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukah/other holiday you might celebrate, I had not seen this message at first because initially I had created this account for a single reason but I have now began to use it more often and I have just now seen this message and I appreciate you and your kindness.

Elliot Rodger

Hi! I reverted your edits at Elliot Rodger because it was mostly unsourced and not up to standards. Right now, the page on the Isla Vista killings has enough information about Rodger. If you want to work on a standalone page, improving the draft already at Draft:Elliot Rodger might be a good place to start. Thank you! BuySomeApples (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Proposed deletion of 2023 Belgorod incident

The article 2023 Belgorod incident has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

does not merir own article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SYSS Mouse (talk) 23:06, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It does merit its own article because if it has been perpetrated by Ukraine then it documents a retaliatory attack perpetrated by Ukraine directly on Russian soil, something that has not happened, to my knowledge at least, in the war until now (at least not on this scale), unless you count this, and this, both of which happened in Crimea, which is recognized by most countries as being part of Ukraine.

State of Palestine

WP:1RR at Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident

At topics related to the Israel-Arab conflict, editors are restricted to one revert every 24 hours: An editor must not perform more than one reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.

In the past 24 hours you have made two reverts:

Please self-revert 22:30, 2 March 2024 and 22:36, 2 March 2024.

To respond to your edit summary It was a massacre regardless of whether or not Israel was responsible, it was a tragedy where a lot of people died, but that doesn't make it a massacre - and the majority of sources are declining to characterize it as a massacre. BilledMammal (talk) 22:52, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for partially self-reverting; however, you still need to remove the claim that "the statements were conflicting". BilledMammal (talk) 23:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears someone else has. MountainDew20 (talk) 23:24, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced biographical details

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Lance Robertson. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. We can't guess at birth dates based on events in their life. Please be aware that many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases or genealogical websites (which are also typically user-generated, as above). This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like The New York Times or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry. I made an assumption and, in hindsight, that was wrong and I should have known better. MountainDew20 (talk) 03:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Haus of Decline

Hello, MountainDew20

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Alpha3031, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Haus of Decline, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Alpha3031}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Haus of Decline

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

July 2024

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, Hunt family murders, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected. Three typical reasons for this are that: (1) the article's subject appears to fail our notability guidelines; (2) the article is unsourced; or (3) the sources used in the article are unreliable. The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.

Wikipedia:Your first article has more information about creating articles, and you may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. —Alalch E. 11:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The actual reason is that it was a duplicate, that's all. Regards —Alalch E. 11:16, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
