Afghan War lead

Hey, I saw that you reverted the changes Peilin22 made to the lead of War in Afghanistan (2001–present). Any objection to me reintroducing those changes? I get that Peilin is blocked, but I thought the change was helpful as it fixes the problem of the lead being too long. --Cerebellum (talk) 09:31, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Cerebellum: I haven't checked the edit but the users previous edits were disruptive so I reverted it. You can restore it if you approve it. Viewsridge (talk) 10:06, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Viewsridge, if you encounter disruption in these areas, you may request assistance with proof (Help:Diffs) at WP:ANI (default) or WP:AE (advanced; carefully follow the instructions). On the contrary, WP:AIV is usually not the right venue for such reports, as this is rarely "vandalism" and almost always disruptive editing done in good faith. I'm removing your AIV report for this reason. Best regards, ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:11, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to 2021 Taliban offensive does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

Thank you

Thank you for bringing the map back. I was about to get an edit request to bring the map back until you came. I think that Adoring Nanny vandalised it but I'm not sure. Thank you.

Image of countries giving humanitarian aid to Ukraine?

Hello, I was wondering if you could make an additional image to the excellent one you have made - that details the humanitarian aid that is listed on List of foreign aid to Ukraine during the Russo-Ukrainian War. With more and more Russian allies sending aid to Ukraine, I think it is very important to acknowledge this. Distrait cognizance (talk) 10:39, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Distrait cognizance: Here you go. Viewsridge (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing, thank you. I will try to change the colors later so that they are slightly lighter overall, just to differentiate the images. Distrait cognizance (talk) 11:13, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Distrait cognizance: No problem, you can try using Inkscape, it's a free program that is fairly easy to use. Viewsridge (talk) 11:15, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maps

Why are you changing maps of disputed areas without bothering to arrive at a consensus in favor? TrangaBellam (talk) 21:32, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have mass-rollbacked your edits to restore status quo. Discuss at WT:INB before re-committing your edits. TrangaBellam (talk) 21:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The data on the map is inconsistent as well. You say that Rr016 was the author, but you also label it as "own work". Moreover, you haven't said what part of the map is based on OpenStreetMap and what is "own work". On 3 April 2022 (the date given on the map), OSM doesn't show any international borders for Ladakh. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:08, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Academic research project on "2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg"

I am an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder and have been a Wikipedia researcher for over a decade. I wanted to inquire if you might be available for an interview for a research project I am doing about the "2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.svg" file. I'm focused on how this image is produced and governed, how it circulates across articles and projects, and the technical stack of templates and modules that enable this "war mapping". I would like to make sure that my understanding is accurate with an expert like yourself as well as to document your experience and perspectives participating in this unusual collaboration. If you're interested, please contact me at brian.keegan@colorado.edu Madcoverboy (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
