User talk:Applella

Welcome!

Hello, Applella, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Li (surname 李), have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page and how to develop articles
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• Article wizard for creating new articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! —Aranya (talk | contribs) 22:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lu (surname 陸), without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Li (surname 李), you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Sauzer (talk) 23:04, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

I am a true blue chinese and I find the link of Chinese surnames to Vietnamese and Korean surname unfound. Vietnamese are not Chinese. Koreans are not Chinese either, so are Japanese. Koreans are the "Northern Barbarians" Chinese had been fighting many years. Vietnamese are the Southern "Aboriginals" whom the Chinese had been defending for many yrs. They are NEVER CHINESE. Pls respect this. You are just confusing those SE. Asia Chinese here. I think the way the articles are written have some other political motives to confuse the Chinese outside of China. Pls stop all these nonsense and respect the Chinese community. Else I will report you too.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Applella (talk • contribs) 19:21, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Yao (surname), you may be blocked from editing. The problem is that your edits are a clear violation of WP:NPOV. I would strongly encourage you to read the above references for editing guidelines prior to attempting to make any further edits. --Sauzer (talk) 23:49, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

• I see that you have repeated the removal of content from Li (surname 李), Lu (surname 陸) and Lin (surname). A key wikipedia policy encourages editors not to engage in repeated reverts of the same article, and so I will not be attempting to restore them right now. Instead I referred this matter for review by an administrator. My last contribution for now will be to point out that your central complaint about the inclusion of Vietnamese/Japanese people is off-base: the articles do not say "Li (Chinese surname 李)" but are instead for all notable persons with that name or a close variant. See for example how Smith does not eliminate non-English persons. Please consider this. --Sauzer (talk) 00:20, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
  • Your recent deletions from Lui (surname) will also need review from an administrator but do not appear constructive for the above reasons.--Sauzer (talk) 00:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bumbubookworm (talk • contribs) 03:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 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 ~~~~}}.  CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

You may be right about the names but you can't just keep reverting. You need to go to the talk pages of the articles and discuss with other users what the problems are as you see them. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 21:56, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
