Your Questia online library codes failed to deliver

We tried to use Wikipedia email to deliver your account access information but you either did not provide an email address in your preferences or had it set up not to receive messages from other editors. You can change both on the first page of Special:Preferences. To fix the situation directly or to let me know you've changed your preferences, just email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com.

October 2024

Your recent editing history at Uzun Hasan 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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You shouldn't be edit warring about copied stuff from other article. Aq Qoyunlu being Sunni Muslim, Persianate, etc. is irrelevant in this content. Being sourced doesn't mean you should include everything. And there is nothing like "official language firsT", you don't even respect where commas should stay. Warned. Beshogur (talk) 11:59, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Beshogur: Please read and follow the policies related to copyright and edit war. Violating the three-revert rule and insisting on removing significant information with reliable secondary sources often leads to a block. Copying references from WP articles is not a copyright violation (WP:NOATT). -- Mahan (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Beshogur (talk) 13:15, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
