Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that in this edit to Cradle of civilization, 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. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 03:58, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Are you copying material from elsewhere?

See here. Doug Weller talk 13:26, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Sumer, Indus Valley Civilisation, and other articles into Cradle of civilization. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:15, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Cradle of Civilisation shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that you made a change to an article, History of South America, 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) 03:10, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Junk links

How can we get you to stop linking so much semi related articles in the ancient history template.?--Moxy (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I don't plan to add anything else to the template, I feel the way it is now is just fine. The reversion takes too much out.

Can you explain how an article like Prehistory of Australia is related? What ancient empire do you think existed.--Moxy (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

This is the ancient history template not the ancient empire template.

But why have you selected that one and not the prehistory of the 250 other countries? Hope you see what I'm getting at here..... the temperature should be should be for ancient civilizations not prehistory articles. Exactly what we're trying to avoid.--Moxy (talk) 00:40, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I selected that so that I can broadly cover Oceania. I am not including 250 countries but am trying to make sure that this template at least broadly covers the ancient history of humans on the continents they inhabited in ancient times which includes Australia. Also Australia is just one article under Oceania. The old revision didn't even include the empires of Mesoamerica or the Andes. When I made these changes, they have remained on the article for months without anyone contesting the changes. Therefore it has become the consensus. You are the only one who seems to have an issue with these changes.

What? There was a talk....then a change implemented and a note added. Since then slowly you have added back lots of junk and removed the note. So what are we to do. Will get the others involved again I guess. Basic understanding of the topic is needed--Moxy (talk) 01:08, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

I do not know if this is your intention or not but I am sensing a condescending tone from which this discussion could become toxic. I have only ever assumed that all of the edits you have made were for good intentions from which I disagreed with. I wish you would have given that same courteous to me. If I myself have given that tone, I sincerely apologize. We can disagree on how the template should look but lets have discussion instead of threatening each other. I started to make edits to make the template smaller but reverting everything would take too much out. I have always used the talk page before making massive additions as can be seen under "Adding West Africa and Oceania" thread for example. I waited a few days afterwords before making my changes. Also I don't remember removing any such note you describe.

Classical antiquity?

Hi 73.15.114.246. Classical antiquity is not the twenty-eighth dynasty of Egypt, the twenty-ninth dynasty of Egypt, etc ... It is to ignore the history and art of Egypt. regards JMCC1 (talk) 23:46, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

• What book or museum classifies it that way? JMCC1 (talk) 23:52, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Periods in Ancient Egypt

• University College London
• Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Classical antiquity? regards JMCC1 (talk) 00:23, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Periods in Ancient Egypt

Hello JMCC1, Classical antiquity as it is defined by the Wikipedia article itself is I quote "the period of cultural history between the 8th century BC and the 5th or 6th century AD". With this definition in mind that would encompass and include the dynasties within that period you seem to have concerns with. This does not mean that I oppose to any change whatsoever to the template as I personally thought simplifying the Egyptian period under the three Caliphates into a single article was a good idea. My issue is that you made a major edit without starting a discussion on the article talk page. All I did is maintain the status quo until there is a greater understanding by the Wikipedia community to what it is you are trying to do and why you want to change said template so massively. Also it would be in your best interest if you took this conversation to the talk page of the article itself as opposed to my personal talk page. In this way, more people will be able to see and engage in this discussion as opposed to just the two of us. Regards 73.15.114.246

OK, thanks for your help, JMCC1 (talk) 13:36, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello my friend. Have you found any book that states that dynasties 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 are Classical antiquity? It's Category:Late Period of ancient Egypt. Please, revert your edition. It is a big mistake that can be considered vandalism. Greetings. JMCC1 (talk) 12:12, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello JMCC1, if you still have issues with the way the template is currently it would probably be in your best interest for you to contact an administrator and try to convince him/her of your arguments. But if the updated consensus happens to contradict your beliefs still despite your best attempts to persuade others to your point of view, you have to make peace with the decision and move on. Please try to use the talk page of the article you have conflicts with instead of my personal talk page in the future. If nobody seems to be responding my best advice for you is to please be patient. It usually takes some time for administrators to respond on here as they may be busy with other matters. I happen to agree with the current format because as I stated above, Classical antiquity as it is defined by the Wikipedia article itself is I quote "the period of cultural history between the 8th century BC and the 5th or 6th century AD". With this definition in mind that would encompass and include the dynasties within that period you seem to have concerns with. But I am not keeping you from changing this template purely because I happen to believe the current format is better, it is because it is the current consensus. If you happen to convince a majority people of your point of view and successfully change the consensus, I'd be more than happy to let you make your changes. But until then please be careful and refrain yourself from making your changes prematurely. It may result in accusations of edit warring which may get your account suspended. I hope my explanations have helped you. Regards 73.15.114.246

Hello my friend. See Talk:History_of_Egypt#Classical_antiquity? JMCC1 (talk) 15:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Template:Ancient history; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
This has been going on for too long. You must participate in the discussion at Talk:History of Egypt#Classical antiquity?! Favonian (talk) 18:33, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Ancient history template

I have added Xiongnu to the Eurasian steppe list with adequate explanation of why they belong there. If you want to keep the template uncluttered, please consider removing one of the lesser known cultures like Xionites or the ones with significant overlap. Also before you revert this particular addition please read WP:3RR (gnanvit (talk) 12:23, 16 January 2019 (UTC))
