August 2018[edit]

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, White Helmets (Syrian Civil War), but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 22:15, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Magda information needs to be cited to a Reliable Source. Also please note that we recently used Wikipedia's dispute-resolution process regarding conflicting claims about the White Helmets. The result was not a full consensus, however under our policies and Guidelines the current text regarding a disinformation is to be kept for now. Please cease trying to reverse this content, as it may be considered Edit Warring. Alsee (talk) 22:25, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note[edit]

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

August 2018[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Urmia, 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. ---Wikaviani^{(talk) (contribs)} 22:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

April 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm I am One of Many. Your recent edit to the page South African farm attacks appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. I am One of Many (talk) 14:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please be mindful of quotes[edit]

Hi! I reverted an edit of yours because it put in quotation marks, implying this is an exact quote in the source. This is not the case; it is my paraphrasing of the statement by the critic.

The source

My paraphrasing: "[...]but criticized a scene lacking emphasis of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Aghtamar, stating that it could have shown Christian audiences the Ottomans' relative religious tolerance."

The quote from the original source: "However, he expressed astonishment that the famous church on Akdamar Island in Lake Van was briefly mentioned in passing and its beautiful murals were not shown. According to Dorsay, it could have been a powerful message, particularly for Western viewers, to show them and say, “Even in those complicated times, we saved these treasures.”"

Since it's my own paraphrasing, quotes are inappropriate here. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:04, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

January 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm RolandR. I noticed that you recently removed content from Vladimir Lenin without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored.

Please do not add or change content, as you did at William Rodriguez, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chelsea Handler[edit]

Hi Magda Thomas18, please start a discussion on the article's talk page so you can gain consensus for adding your addition. I think it is WP:UNDUE. She simply attended a party and is not complicit in Epstein's actions. However, others may think differently. In any event, since you are adding the content, the onus is on you to gain consensus. In the meantime, I am going to revert your change so discussion can take place. S0091 (talk) 22:59, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add this content to other articles until you can gain consensus. S0091 (talk) 23:18, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 5[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited F. Murray Abraham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Assyrian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:10, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

July 2020[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Margaret Sanger, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Peaceray (talk) 02:21, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, I respectively disagree with your POV interpretation of https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015082132823?urlappend=%3Bseq=113. It seems to me that Sanger's vision of a garden of children is based upon whether they are wanted, & that lot of weeds would result from unwanted children. It is by that method that Sanger advocates for creating better humans, not by eugenic practices. To imply that she explicitly advocated eugenics in this piece is simply unjustified.

Disambiguation link notification for August 7[edit]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hala Y. Jarbou, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Assyrian.
