Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Bix17, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need personal help ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of edit to Michael Spivak

[edit]

Hi, I'm messaging you about your claim on Michael Spivak's article that he has died. I can't find any evidence of this claim elsewhere (one would expect that his death would have been reported in some mathematical journal or newspaper obituary), and given that I'm not in the US, it would be an extreme hassle for me to request a Verification of Death Letter from Texas Health and Human Services myself. Without further information, I'm not convinced that this source is accurate/verifiable (i.e. not a Verification of Death Letter for someone else named Michael Spivak), which is why I reverted your edit under WP:BDP. Could you please provide more information about this source on the Talk:Michael_Spivak#Dead?_(2020) page? Edderiofer (talk) 16:59, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please review the reliable sourcing criteria for articles as well as WP:BLPPRIMARY regarding the use of primary documents in biographies. Note that, once reverted, you should go to the article talk page to get consensus for the changes you would like to see made to an article (see this link).-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 18:20, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
