ArbCom 2022 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2022 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:50, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Donald Albury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Sahara, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. While I suspect that the claim your edit made was correct, it does need to be supported by a citation to a reliable source. It is also poor form to insert an unsourced claim immediately before a citation that supports something else. Donald Albury 01:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message and the heads up! To clarify, the edit is supported by citations 73 and 74. That's why I put the edit where I did. Those citations aren't supporting something else. They are supporting the exact thing I added.

To clarify what happened, another used removed phrasing which stated that modern science disproved negroid classification systems. The user said they did so because it was phrased awkwardly. But the user left the citations in. Rather than remove the citations (and thus all reference to the fact that negroid classification systems have since been disproven by science), I decided to try and re-add the information using better phrasing.

I am going to re-add the phrasing again. Hopefully this clears things up :) Dax Kirk (talk) 02:22, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Science. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Remsense诉 21:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my gosh! Haha. I'm so sorry. If you check my history, you'll see I spent the day making minor grammatical changes to articles. The "Science" article had a comma before the word "because." You're not supposed to use a comma with "because," as it's a subordinating conjunction. I was trying to change the word to "as" (not "ass"). I'll fix it again now...and ensure there is no typo.
