Would you care to discuss how Eurocentric perspectives become 'objective' merely by the fact that they're Eurocentric, and somewhat more 'indigenous' perspectives are automatically deemed 'opinion', by virtue of the fact that they don't correspond to the typical Arab university professor discourse?

"refspam"

[edit]

It looks like all of your edits so far function primarily to add a particular source -- an unpublished dissertation, "EXPLORING THE INTELLECTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF EGYPTIAN NATIONAL EDUCATION". Though it may have been done in good faith, we call this WP:REFSPAM. Unpublished dissertations can sometimes be considered a reliable source, but need to be used with care, and published works in e.g. academic journals/books are preferred whenever possible. I'm not going to revert the additions at this stage, but any other user would be justified in doing so. I would encourage you to develop the text of the articles you've added it to, including the addition of other sources. Finally, just in case it's your own work you're citing, be advised that Wikipedia does have a conflict of interest policy that applies to some such instances. Cheers. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:32, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Secular humanism. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Waddie96 (talk) 17:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Secular Humanism. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block. Thank you. Waddie96 (talk) 17:03, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
