[edit]
Hello, I'm Boud. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. This edit by you stated in its edit summary Removal of fabricated false information from false witness, banned by Wikipedia editing policies, as non-factual statement.
However, the information is well sourced to Thomson Reuters. The information might be false and the witness might have lied, but Wikipedians cannot judge that directly. Instead, Wikipedia policy is that we can reasonably assume that Thomson Reuters considers the journalist to have made a fair decision in reporting the information, and considers it credible. Please read the Wikipedia policy about sources. If you disagree, then you may go to the talk page and discuss it with others. Thanks! Boud (talk) 23:46, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Boud. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Mai Kadra massacre seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, best ask about it on the Talk:Mai Kadra massacre page. Thank you. Please read WP:NPOV to understand why this edit and this edit are unlikely to reach consensus as NPOV edits. Please try discussing on the Talk:Mai Kadra massacre page if you still think that those two edits are justified. Boud (talk) 22:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Personal attack
[edit]Please read WP:AGF: it is not acceptable to make personal attacks in Wikipedia. In this edit, you stated Fabricated non-existent sources and misinformation by editor Boud, who is maliciously posting false information from non-existent sources, violating Wikipedia NPOV editing policies
.
- If you think I have posted a reference with a non-existence source, then please point that out on the Talk:Mai Kadra massacre page using {{diff}}. If what you mean is that the reference is missing, then that is because of the edit war that has been ongoing. First we need to stop the edit war; one editor has been blocked "for persistently making disruptive edits", but there is an IP editor continuing to edit war. Once the edit war is over, we can restore the references.
- Claiming that I have "maliciously" posted information is a personal attack. That is not acceptable. Please read WP:AGF.
- Please check the edit history more carefully, and also read the talk page to understand what sources we have. We cannot ignore the refugees' testimonies from the interviews of Thomson Reuters and the Financial Times.

This is the edit before the last few hours' edit war. In fact, I see that the references are not quite correct: Thomson Reuters is only for Amharan militias in the infobox, as perpetrators; the FT is a source for both the ENDF and Amharan militias as perpetrators in the infobox. So [3] (in the most recent version before this morning's edit war) would have to be removed from the ENDF line. In any case, let's wait a bit for the IP person edit warring to cool down or be blocked. Boud (talk) 10:28, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Disretionary sanctions alert
[edit]
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

[edit]
Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Black Hebrew Israelites. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. DanielRigal (talk) 19:04, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
Hi Amharic Terminologist! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
