I noticed you removed a large amount of discussion in the talk section of Elder Scrolls:Oblivion, including many comments that were not yours. Any particular reason why? -Fuzzy 00:43, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry, my intention was only to remove an unneeded comment by myself, however I must have ended up reverting to an older version... Ornilnas

No problem. Wikipedia is a learning experience. -Fuzzy 15:32, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Logo jpopsuki.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Logo jpopsuki.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

V. Vescovo Page Edit?

On 23 March 2021, you edited the page of Victor Vescovo stating in the edit comment: "It should be made clear that he was not the first to visit each of them. What is the basis for this edit? It is well documented that no person in history had ever been to the bottom of the Atlantic, Southern, Indian, or Arctic oceans. Therefore, why the edit? Guinness World records, CNN, BBC, and other major news outlets checked the story and verified it as true. Can you please undo the change? Vlvescovo (talk) 22:14, 2 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The original sentence implied that Vescovo was the first to visit the deepest point of each of the five oceans, which is not true. Ornilnas (talk) 06:07, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is true, however. See: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/victor-vescovo-historic-dive/index.html among other stories published and researched at the time. There are no citations to support the assertion that it is not true? Ornilnas could be making the point that the first descent to one of the oceans, the Pacific, was made twice before in 1960 (Walsh and Piccard) and 2012 (James Cameron) but no one had ever been to the deepest point in all five oceans. Vlvescovo (talk) 13:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The original sentence implied that you were the first to reach each point, separately. Ornilnas (talk) 19:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A compromise? Perhaps add at the end: ", the first to reach all five" which is accurate and supported by multiple references. The revised sentence makes no indication that it has been done only once, and omits the distinction that no one had been to the bottom of four of the five before. I would think this is relevant and worthy of mention? Vlvescovo (talk) 23:25, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I find that important enough to mention in the introduction, which is why I didn't rewrite it to reflect that. It would be more relevant to mention, for instance, that you were the first to visit four of those points. But other editors might disagree, so if you want to suggest such an improvement to the article, it would be better to take it to the article's Talk page.

FWIW

Your perspective and comment is legitimate and you are not the only editor who has expressed concerns about that line for those very same reasons. I think you can find the discussions I'm referring to in archives 4 and 5. Mr rnddude (talk) 14:04, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but now I'm even more confused. The earlier "largest conventional warfare operation" and "largest conventional military attack" seem much better supported than the current wording, so those discussions clearly went sideways. I'll have to think about this some more. Ornilnas (talk) 14:14, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:1RR at Israel-Hamas war

Hi; 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 revert 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:

I see you have already been reverted and so can't self-revert, but please be careful in the future to abide by the topic area restrictions. BilledMammal (talk) 07:34, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I only reverted once. The first edit was simply me adding my own text to the sentence. Both my edit and my single revert were reverted, so I made a new section on the Talk page instead. I usually avoid reverting several times, but I didn't know about this particular rule for this particular page, so thanks for letting me know :) Ornilnas (talk) 07:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; I apologize. I'm not sure why I mistook that for a revert. BilledMammal (talk) 07:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.
