Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Mastanesosus, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Materialscientist (talk) 07:42, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

There were three infoboxes for three different kings on a one page about a single king. Why would I not remove them? Sinclairian (talk) 07:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It was removed due to the speeches of the Republican politician Donald Trump having nothing to do logically with the nazi concept of "blood and soil". From personal research from myself, as a Latin, I can't see any correlation whatsoever and I found it adequate and tasteful to remove this part of the article to better inform people about truth. 2804:14D:90A7:445B:1358:5883:FC7C:E790 (talk) 18:21, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Reversion of redirect

Hello, I noticed your edit on the list of flags with Islamic symbolism. I didn't notice that there was another list with the same topic prior to actually getting to creating the list but i don't see a reason to make my list into a redirect of the older one considering the fact that my list actually has all of the stuff which which it doesn't, sources, quality and reliability. I think it would be a better idea to make the older list into a new redirect to my list. I did some quick research and some of the flags on this older list didn't even have any relativity to Islam at all (i.e. Singapore). For now i have reverted your edit and made the older article into a redirect instead. As for the flags which the older article mentions but i didn't, i'll get to them in a little once i find reliable sources for them. Thank you. Hjemt (talk) 18:50, 26 January 2024 (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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:27, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome

Welcome! You have made 365 edits in just 19 days! That's quite fast. Seems like you're not a stranger to Wikipedia editing, judging from your contributions. That's why I didn't use the welcome template. — Python Drink (talk) 00:33, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Citations

Did I cite incorrectly? IncandescentBliss (talk) 21:19, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

You should try and use the actual templates, and failing that, be more explicit. Use {{cite journal}} for articles, don't just give author, title, and incomplete attribution. Get ISBNs, publishing information, etc., see if the articles have electronic hostings and then link them if they do. Run down WP:REF. Things like that.

Thank you. I’m new. IncandescentBliss (talk) 21:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Are there websites that autogenerate citations proficiently? It’s a bit of a tedious process. IncandescentBliss (talk) 22:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

I am unaware of any, personally. Sinclairian (talk) 23:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Actually, check out WP:CITETOOL, it has a few tools that you might find useful. Sinclairian (talk) 16:40, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
