Welcome!
[edit]Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

[edit] Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Shakshouka. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

- Hi MPS1992. Understood, but topic already addressed in article's talk page and this has done nothing to remove unsubstantiated claim. I have added another argument in the talk page. It is rather Irondome who keeps adding back the statement without supporting evidence. Default should be NOT to include unsubstantiated statement, right? Clearly Irondome has reverted my deletion as 'anonymous' to subvert the 3 edit rule you mention above. Is there a way to get an unbiased opinion on this topic?
- I seriously hope you are not accusing me of sockpuppeting mate. Grasp the fact that someone else thinks you are editing tendentiously, and repeatedly removing cited content. I do not wish to enter a discussion with you at this time. Irondome (talk) 23:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

- Gentlemen, let's stop there. Jimbo Jones, if you want a discussion of how the food should be described in the Wikipedia article about it, then you should initiate a WP:RFC on the talk page of the article. I cannot promise you success, but if your case is so obviously correct then of course others will see it in the same way. Shakshouka is not well-known where I come from, but it does look tasty.

- Thank you. I have said my piece and added statement in the talk page on thread already started.

- User:Jimbo.jones, you are risking a block for breaking WP:3RR. It would be sensible for you to reply to the complaint and agree to make no more changes at Shakshouka until consensus on the talk page agree with you. EdJohnston (talk) 04:19, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
