Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Culture of El Salvador. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Mojoworker (talk) 17:37, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from El Salvador into another page. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Moneytrees🏝️^{Talk🌴Help out at CCI!} 15:57, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

LTA

I have reverted your edits at WP:LTA because that page is only for long-term abusers, not for someone you are currently edit-warring with. Please bear in mind that even slow-motion edit warring is prohibited and continuing may lead to sanctions. Instead, try a noticeboard such as WP:RSN or use WP:DR. Johnuniq (talk) 00:43, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, this is the first time im confronted with an edit warring user and I wasn't exactly sure what were the steps for handling it Cobaltous (talk) 02:50, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Block

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy. You were told diffs were required to substantiate accusations of racism (very serious charges), but instead you doubled-down, again, diff-less-ly. That will not be tolerated. Allegations of that nature require proof. And, no, you drawing your own inferences about an editor's motivations isn't it. You are not to gauge on someone's presumed psyche/ideology. Without concrete evidence, that very much isn't allowed. 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 ~~~~}}.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Cobaltous (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

This is the first time I ever encountered this problem with another user, and did not know how to post diffs, so I pointed out the pages where these claims were made on to. Salvadorans and Demographics of El Salvador both on edit and on talk page. I find his one-drop rule on Mestizos and denial of Afro-Salvadoran contributions, very racist

Here he claims all Latin America considers Mestizo and whites as the same ethnic group, which is false. In fact the only country that does that is Guatemala but not El Salvador. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1013029481

His argument on talk included that half of Mexico colored population were indistinguishable from Spain and Portugal, and so people of Mestizo origin were to be considered as white europeans. This is nonsense since Mestizos have other heritages besides European. He also gave me a sole example of a Spanish actor playing a Mexican as proof of this. This one drop-rule of Mestizos falling in the "white" box is racism because the other heritages that Mestizos carry are being white washed and erased. Basically his argument is, if they visually look close to white, then they are white regardless of their heritages https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Salvadorans

Then he proceeded to the complete denial of Afro-Salvadorans despite several sources I presented. Sources which included investigations done by Salvadoran scholars and historians. He insisted on claiming that there was no large populations of Africans in El Salvador and that Salvadorans did not identified as having African heritage. Which is something was actually never stated on the page. It was stated that in fact there was a number on Africans that arrive in El Salvador during the colonial period and that at that time the Spanish referred to these people as Pardo, since they were mixed people with African and other heritages, mainly indigenous and Spanish. Huasteca however wanted to erase any contribution on African heritage on El Salvador which I find offensive and racist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Demographics_of_El_Salvador Cobaltous (talk)

Decline reason:

Your request talks about the behavior of others when it should be talking about your behavior. 331dot (talk) 20:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
