[edit]
Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. - LouisAragon (talk) 14:25, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[[
Recent edit reversion
[edit]In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.
I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.
I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:07, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- If you copy within Wikipedia, it still needs an attribution. Typically, I put in the edit summary the following form: "Text and references copied from Article to Receiver. See former article's history for a list of contributors." I also create an "Attribution" section on the articles' talk pages. See Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

[edit]
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. - LouisAragon (talk) 18:47, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
A suggestion
[edit]When you add walls of text, you also need to add WP:Citation in line to WP:RS. Unreferenced material will almost certainly be deleted. WP:Verifiability, not WP:Truth. It's not personal; it's policy. Hope that helps. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 19:12, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- Emperor of Emperors Armenia, it seems you don't realize yet that Wikipedia has numerous core policies that everyone has to adhere to. Even though I reverted you twice and left you several messages on your talk page, it seems you haven't entirely understood yet. Wikipedia articles can't be cited within other Wikipedia articles. Please read WP:NOTSOURCE. You have to cite a reliable secondary or tertiary source to support your claims, per WP:RS. Furthermore a large amount of the text you added, as "User:7&6=thirteen" is also trying to make clear, was added on numerous occassions entirely without a source.
- So far, you have violated several core Wikipedia policies, including WP:WAR, WP:RS, WP:NOTSOURCE amongst others. I'm sure that wasn't your intention. Please take your time to read Wikipedia's guidelines before further editing. Thanks, - LouisAragon (talk) 19:31, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- I would like to understand which part of whatever I wrote were unsourced, the majority were even copies of writings in other wikipedia sources which I noted with a link.
- All of it. WP:Wikipedia is not a reliable source. If you want to copy text from Wikipedia, copy the sources, too. That should aid your understanding. WP:Competence is required. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:32, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
