Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Doug Weller talk 09:00, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ali Sina

Hi, sorry but there were too many problems with your edits. Please read WP:RS. We never use wikis as sources except in rare cases where they aren't purely crowd sourced but have good editorial boards. As someone who once had a hate article posted about me there, I'd never trust Rationalwiki anyway although I might use it for sources. The SPLC called Stop Islamisation of America a hate group, not Stop Islamisation of Nations. Don't let this discourage you, there is a learning curve here and we all get things wrong at times.

Okay. How should I cite the mentions from the manifesto? Should I directly link the manifesto? You removed the Academica.edu link that stated that. Factinator5000 (talk) 18:24, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Use the talk page. Your last edit was reverted as a Wp:BLP violation by another editor. Doug Weller talk 19:55, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use urls as citations

You need to change them. See Help:Referencing for beginners. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 12:26, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions to Ali Sina (activist)

Hello. Please provide page numbers for the source you cited. I was not able to find the material in In the Tracks of Breivik. Snuish (talk) 17:57, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not restore the material until you can validly source it. Your edit summary demonstrates that you may not be familiar with Wikipedia policies, particularly WP:BLPREMOVE. Snuish (talk) 17:38, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Factinator5000! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Ali Sina (activist) that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 08:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:LEAD

Leads are summaries of the main points of the article. Your edit to the lead wasn't. It also used an unreliable source. Doug Weller talk 08:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
