Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! clpo13_(talk) 16:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

I'm glad to see that you are now using reference citations rather than misplaced external links, but please note that "|language=en=US" is not permitted when using {{cite web}}. See Template:Citation Style documentation/language/doc. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:22, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Similarly "|language-en-US" is invalid, and "|access-date=16 April 1939" is saying that you looked at that page on the internet in 1939, which seems unlikely. "Show preview" before you save will show you error messages, and you do need to think about what you are writing. Again, good to see that you are using citations rather than misplaced external links, but please get them right. --David Biddulph (talk) 06:57, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

October 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, content you added to List of rail accidents (2010–2019) appears to be a minority or fringe viewpoint, and appears to have given undue weight to this minority viewpoint, and has been reverted. To maintain a neutral point of view, an idea that is not broadly supported by scholarship in its field must not be given undue weight in an article about a mainstream idea. Feel free to use the article's talk page to discuss this, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Basically: if there are "no problems reported", don't include it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a list of everything that ever happened. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:14, 23 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:07, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

Please respond by editing this section and explain how future problems might be avoided. Otherwise you will be indefinitely blocked because communication is required. Johnuniq (talk) 04:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing certain areas of the encyclopedia for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

I have issued a partial block preventing you from editing the List of rail accidents (2020–present) and the List of rail accidents (2010–2019). I want you to treat this as a de facto block from all similar lists. The talk pages of the lists afftected are available for you to use to suggest edits. Further disruption, including the addition of similar entries to lists you are not physically blocked from editing, will almost certainly lead to an indefinite block. Your co-operation in this matter will be appreciated. Mjroots (talk) 17:37, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Im sorry, can i have another chance because i dont know what is wrong and i am sorry for what i did — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 22:32, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

919499sp, thank you for trying to help us write the encyclopedia. I see you made two edits to another list of rail accidents, adding an accident and moving another to the correct date. But people have been trying to explain to you that you are making mistakes with the citation templates; do you use the "preview" button? If you do that and you have made a mistake with the template, you should see a red message in the footnote, explaining where the problem is. (From looking at things, I think you have been confusing = with - or forgetting the = that comes after something like "url".) Also, you have sometimes written things that are hard to understand: what does it mean when you write "no problem reported" about an accident? There was clearly a problem; there was an accident. Do you mean "no mechanical problem found that could have caused the accident"? or "No injuries reported?" Also, in the changes you made most recently, you summed up the tram accident in the Czech Republic incorrectly. The source says that two trans collided head-on. It doesn't say that a tram "derailed at a curve", which is what you wrote. I think you didn't understand the English in the source very well, and you are also finding it hard to understand what people are writing to you here, including the instructions for asking to be unblocked. I'm sorry about this. The warning templates, the block template, and the informational links are all written in formal English that can be difficult to understand; it's because we try to use the same language for everyone, to be fair and so that the rules and guidelines are defined precisely.

So far as I can tell, you have only edited English Wikipedia. Is your native language something different that has its own Wikipedia? If so, perhaps that would be easier and more enjoyable for you to edit? If you do want to continue editing English Wikipedia, there are friendly people who are good at explaining things without jargon at the Tea house, which is a discussion and help board for new Wikipedians. Another idea is to ask questions at the talk pages for the articles you are editing; that is the best way to get an answer to why your edit was reverted or what someone meant in their edit summary. (Edit summaries are supposed to be short, so often they don't explain fully what the problem was.) And you should start adding your own edit summaries, so that other editors know why you made a change, like, for example, "The date was July, not June, so I moved the item."

I hope this response helped you a little bit. I have tried to explain simply. Yngvadottir (talk) 02:32, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I promise it wont happen again do can you please unblock me — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 15:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the directions above carefully? (Hint: these edits suggest that you didn't) Have you read the guide to appealing blocks? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:33, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes i read the directions Now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 00:07, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redrose64, This user has now added an accident that "injured 4 people" [1]. Many prior additions of such minor incidents were reverted as not significant enough to be listed. This facet of their edits doesn't seem to be mentioned here; they may not monitor reverts of their edits and the corresponding edit summaries to know this is a problem. MB 16:39, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have read the directions so can you please unblock my IP Adress in the 202-present and 2010-2019 List of rail accidents please — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 17:59, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why you were blocked, and explain how you are not going to repeat the same mistakes? RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:04, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was blocked because i wasn't editing the wikis properly in the Train Crash ones and i haven't followed the directions at that time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 18:19, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, let's try this differently. Let's take a look at these two edits: first one; second one. Can you explain what is wrong with each of these, and how you are not going to repeat the same mistakes? RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:23, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For the 2nd one I found out that i have some spelling mistakes but i dont know what is going on in the first one — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 15:52, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

919499sp, we know you are trying, but there are a lot of problems with your work. For a start, both edits include the "No problems reported" wording, which as I told you above is not clear and possibly means that the accident was not serious enough to be in the list. Other problems with the two edits are:

In the first edit:

You have put in the same date for the article (date=) and for the date you looked at it (access-date=); also the actual date of the article was 25 November, not 13 November.
You have an empty "1=" in the reference that is causing a red message at the bottom; you should have seen and fixed this on preview.
You forgot to add the name of the author and the name of the newspaper.
This was a very small accident; it should not be in the list.

In the second edit:

You forgot even the reference tags; you just put the URL in the text.
It's the same accident as the item above it; same date, same place, "Norfolk Southern" in the item above is "NS" in your item.
I don't know what you meant here about spelling mistakes; I just see "a" where you should have used "an" because of the sound of "NS", and "this was known for the expensive train crash in Georgia" is not very good English, but the problem is not spelling.

I'm sorry, but people have been trying to tell you, the problem seems to be with your English. I know that you are trying to help us with the encyclopedia. But I asked you above about language. Do you know that we have Wikipedia in many other languages, not just in English? Yngvadottir (talk) 20:49, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see I will try my best next time so can I be unblocked now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 01:03, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you are persistently failing to sign your posts on talk pages, such as this one. I should not have to clean up after you every time that you post without signing. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:18, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would you like help?

I noticed this discussion on AN/I: blocks are hard, but the discussion does look like you need to learn more about how Wikipedia works and how you are expected to deal with each other before you can make the contributions that you want to. If you have any questions about your block, Wikipedia's policies, or how editors work together, please do not hesitate to ask me, either here on your talk page or on mine. Alternatively, the people at WP:TEAHOUSE are friendly and the quality of advice there tends to be pretty high.

I've bookmarked your talk page, but I have very many pages on my watchlist and I don't edit Wikipedia every day, so if I don't respond in a reasonable time, it's possible I've missed your comment. If you think that's happened, either ping me (using Template:Ping) here on your page, or draw attention to your comment on my talk page. I'll respond when I see it. — Charles Stewart (talk) 12:25, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok so next time it wont happen again i will follow the tutorial and try my best editing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 20:11, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

November 2021

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for continuing to edit rail accident articles to add "no problem" incidents having previously been told not to add them and that the partial block I imposed earlier amounted to a de facto ban from these articles is disruptive and shows that you are lacking the competence to edit Wikipedia. Mjroots (talk) 19:04, 5 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|I am sorry I didn't know what to do to edit but I will try my best next time ~~~~}}.

919499sp, you are clearly unable to follow simple directions written in English. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:57, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok so should write my signature — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 19:52, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's what Redrose64 has been telling you. When you write a comment here, you should then type 4 "tildes" (~~~~) or click on the squiggle or pencil symbol. Either way, that's how we make signatures on talk pages.

However, what is more important is that at this point you have been blocked, and this is the only place you can write. It seems to be difficult for you to understand the instructions and the templates. Is it because English is not your first language? Yngvadottir (talk) 21:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Um I know english and it is my first language but can I be unblocked when i sign my name — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 22:46, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are not helping yourself one bit. Once again, I've had to fill in the signature that you have persistently omitted. Have you read the message that I provided at 23:39, 4 November 2021 (UTC)? Probably not, so without repeating myself I urge you to read it carefully, and if it's not clear, it's all covered at this link: Wikipedia:Signatures. It is really not that difficult to understand, I worked it out with the very first edit that I ever made on a discussion page. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:15, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Should I put my real name or my username — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 02:08, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Have you understood nothing that has been posted above? Do you think that Redrose64 is my real name? My signature clearly has my user name in it. You sign using four tildes, thus: ~~~~ just like virtually everybody else does. When I do that, this is the effect: Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:47, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote my signature on the top next to == Welcome — Preceding unsigned comment added by 919499sp (talk • contribs) 00:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see that you did. However, that is entirely the wrong place - there is nothing to connect the signature with the post that it relates to, moreover, you broke the first section heading. Have you not noticed that I put my signature at the end of my posts, and so does everybody else? That is what you should be doing as well. This is basic stuff on Wikipedia (see the introduction to talk pages), and you have zero chance of being unblocked if you persistently ignore our long-standing agreed conventions. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:32, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I'm sorry but when I clicked on the signature button it took me there. So I will try again later
