Information icon Hello, I'm Julietdeltalima. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Calvert County, Maryland, 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.

Welcome, and a word on citing sources

[edit]

Hello Abcdefghij12345trfgh, welcome to Wikipedia! Below this note I'll leave a templated welcome message that has a lot of useful links. I see you've been focusing on updating population estimates for towns in Tennessee; I appreciate what you're trying to do. However, you need to cite your source for the population data so that any reader of the article can verify that it is true. You should provide a link to the site where you retrieved that information. You can learn about the main citation format used by Wikipedia at this page. If you continue to make changes without citing your sources, those changes may be reverted or removed. I hope this helps, and happy editing. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:47, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit]

Hello, Abcdefghij12345trfgh. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions. My name is Howicus, and I've been an editor here for some time. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

If you're working on creating a new article, you should take a look at this page on your first article, and use the article wizard here to get started. Also, this page has instructions on how to cite sources, complete with videos.

If all this Wikicode is a little overwhelming, this cheatsheet may help untangle it.

If you're looking for a tutorial of sorts, The Wikipedia Adventure is a good option.

And if you need more help, I'd recommend asking at the Teahouse (a help page for new users). Or, you could try getting live help at the Wikipedia help chat channel: click here to join. Additionally, you could ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help here on your talk page and a volunteer will visit you here shortly

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. Again, welcome, and have fun editing! Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:47, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 17:54, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 19:39, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Howicus‎. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 19:54, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring on Spring Hill, Tennessee ‎

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Spring Hill, Tennessee shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:24, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This edit sum indicates you may not be familiar with Wikpedia's policy against edit warring. You were bold and made an edit (which is fine), but your edited was reverted by another editor because they said the change was unsourced (which is also fine). The best thing to do in such a situation is to follow WP:BRD and WP:DR by engaging in discussion on the article's talk page to try a resolve any differences and misunderstandings. Even if you're sure you're right, edit warring or indicating your intent to do so by stating "We can do this all day" in an edit sum is not how to resolve this unless your sure your reverts qualify as one of the exemptions under WP:NOT3RR. Wikipedia is not a battleground where we try to change articles hrough brute force reverting. The source you cited does seem to support the new figures, but the infobox should reflect information mentioned in the body of the article. So, I suggest you participate in Talk:Spring Hill, Tennessee#Changes in census figures to help figure out the best way to do this.-- Marchjuly (talk) 04:39, 3 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
