Illuminati
[edit]Hi. I'm trying to start a discussion on the direction/flow of Illuminati at Talk:Illuminati#Forwards?. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 02:27, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
OR and synthesis
[edit]WP:OR (original research) and WP:SYNTH are the relevant links. Basically, we can't use primary sources in any way that might rely on editor interpretation, and we can't use multiple sources to arrive at a point that none of the individual sources explicitly makes.

[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. 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 their 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 result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. Liz Read!

- Understood. The user is anonymous and is vandalizing the page on behalf of someone already banned, and likely is the same person. He didn't bring up what he intended to add in the talk page and just went ahead and added an conspiracy theorist antisemite as a source in the main article. XDev (talk) 16:28, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

- The primary sources cited by Le Forestier are in his notes. I guess I'll have to add those to satisfy your ignorance. I'll be adding more relevant data on this conflict from eminent experts such as professors Christopher McIntosh, Ernst Benz and Klaus Epstein. I'll be editing both the Illuminati page and Rosy Cross page to make it absolutely clear the real nature of the conflict and their views on each other. XDev (talk) 14:02, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
