What is vandalism?

Hello. I saw your follow-up statement on the Czech Republic talk page and I wanted to offer some help. Despite your characterization of Filelakeshoe's edit summary as "clearly vandalism," it is not. The Wikipedia policy on vandalism has a very specific definition of that as behavior: ...deliberately intended to obstruct or defeat the project's purpose... Questioning a source, not matter how forthrightly or even profanely one does it, does not interfere with building an encyclopedia. I invite you to read that page I linked before reporting any further vandalism you believe you have seen. If, in the future, you do find activity that fits that definition, (and everyone certainly agrees that there is more than enough of it), the proper place to report it is at the Administrator intervention against vandalism page, which has instructions for how to report vandalism at the top of the page. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 14:38, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, fine, I change "vandalism" to "indecent comment", but that's not the point. The point is that there is an opposition against using the term czechia. Removing that sentence only gives ground to those who pushed czechia through. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.32.98.62 (talk) 13:01, September 13, 2017‎

Hello, and thanks for your reply. I want to first make it clear that, although I know that this can read like one old-timer closing ranks to another to slap away a newcomer, that's not my intent at all. I want to personally welcome your input and I hope your stay to contribute your obvious relevant knowledge.

All that said, it really is kind of the point. Wikipedia works through a process of consensus editing (that is, when it can be said to work at all). Calling an edit vandalism means that edit has bypassed the normal consensus-building process. In this case, that's not what happened. Defining those that use the term Czechia as "the opposition" is actually more disruptive to that process than calling a source "crap". We attempt to build the project together, so thinking of your fellow editors as being on "the other side" or as "enemies" interferes with that level of civility that assists in improvement. Wikipedia is not the place to advocate for or against a real-world cause and trying to use Wikipedia to right great wrongs is usually doomed to frustration.

To return to the dispute at hand, the name of the sovereign nation north of Austria, east of Germany, and South of Poland, I see you have added a large list of links to the talk page which attempt to demonstrate that there is serious opposition to the use of the term "Czechia". This is excellent. I would suggest that we really need a new article about the naming controversy that can be linked from the main article. I invite you to help me create this article. I have created a stub draft article which you can edit yourself without being restricted and moved most of the material you added to the Czech Republic talk page there to give you a head start. express your concerns at the article Name of the Czech Republic if you think that article is missing anything.I apologize but I did not find that article in my searches before creating the redundant draft. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 17:49, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Your previous complain was that the original statement "Many groups within the country" doesn't say what the groups are. But your current wording "The decision to adopt the short name Czechia has been met with some criticism" doesn't make it any better. Who is the one who criticises it? So I think it would be fair, to clearly state that many politicians in the Czech Republic are clearly against the use of czechia. The term czechia is problematic, so when a user hits the wikipedia page about the Czech Republic for the first time he should be made aware that something is wrong with it. Because now it looks like.. czechia is ok, hmm.. maybe some criticism, who cares.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:Czech_Republic, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:10, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Czechlands

Given that the sentence you are attempting to add it to has a source for "the Czech Republic" and "Czechia" but not "Czechlands", it is you who need to supply a source. --Khajidha (talk) 15:29, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, your claim is that Czechlands is a term for all territories ever controlled by the Czechs. Provide sources that this how Czechlands is defined. Obviously it is not.

You mean other than the sources in our Czech lands article? --Khajidha (talk) 16:40, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Name of the Czech Republic 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 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 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.
You've had it explained to you in edit summaries and on your talk page. Your editing is disruptive and you're willfully engaging in an edit war rather than discuss in talk. JesseRafe (talk) 16:23, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
