June 2013

Your recent editing history at 2013 protests in Turkey shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Hello, I'm Escape Orbit. I noticed that you made a change to an article, 2013 protests in Turkey, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 16:33, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015

Hello, I'm Mojo Hand. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Operation Martyr Yalçın with this edit that didn't seem very civil, so I removed it. Wikipedia needs people like you and me to collaborate, so it’s one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mojo Hand (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

np you are right, ill stop have a good day Needbrains (talk)

"Greek and Armenian trolls"

Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Calling users "Greek and Armenian trolls" as you did here is not very nice. So please refrain from doing so. Étienne Dolet (talk) 18:27, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the talk page there was this proposed template which most people agreed to can you change it to that one? That one is the one that was always used before it got vandalized and got people banned, see the edit history.Needbrains (talk) 18:55, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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 BRD 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.

You made 4 reverts of me in less than 24 hours, 1 more than the allowed maximum of 3, violating Wikipedia's 3RR policy. If we count the revert of the IP editor that's 5. Your explanation in the edit summary was also in violation of Wikipedia's policy on Civility and assuming good faith from fellow editors. You said the source did not cite where its info came from, even though it stated the figures came from, and I quote, a report published by Turkey's official news agency. You also claimed the news site is controversial, even though you did not provide any sources to confirm its controversial, which you are obligated per WP policy. Your reverts: removed more up to date information I added, reintroducing outdated information, and reintroduced information that was contrary to cited sources. I would ask that you cancel your reverts and discuss the issue or I will have to report the 3RR violation. Regards. EkoGraf (talk) 16:30, 3 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

April 2018

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Turkish military operation in Afrin. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Dr. K. 07:14, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You know...

...if these kinds of unfounded accusations continue from you, you won't last very long on this project. By the way, I noticed that you made a little grammatical error. Did you know that "gurds" is actually spelled Kurds? Would you mind fixing your sentence with a upper case 'K' instead of a lower case 'g'? Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:03, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are the most biased editor on wikipedia i have ever seen. " you won't last very long on this project" doesnt scare me. Needbrains (talk) 10:26, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, did you know that "gurds" is actually spelled Kurds? Would you mind fixing your sentence with a upper case 'K' instead of a lower case 'g'? Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:18, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If "gurds" really bothered you that much, i give you the permission to fix my grammatical error in that articles talk page. Needbrains (talk) 20:06, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1RR Warning for Turkish military operation in Afrin

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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 BRD 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 your being blocked from editing—especially, as the page in question is currently under restrictions from the Arbitration Committee, if you violate the one-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than one revert on a single page with active Arbitration Committee restrictions 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 one-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the one-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Needbrains, you conducted two reverts in less than 24 hours at Turkish military operation in Afrin [1][2]. All Syrian war-related articles are under a general Wikipedia 1RR sanction (no more than 1 revert per 24 hours). Please refrain from further reverts and take the dispute to the talk page. Thank you.

Note

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

1RR violation at 2019 Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria

I'm gonna ask you to revert your edit here [3] because you have made the same revert twice [4] under 24 hours. Remind you that 1RR actually warrants blocks. KasimMejia (talk) 08:14, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
