User talk:Ashafir

Welcome!

Hello, Ashafir, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Flixbus did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Flixbus, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.

Please also read this information. bonadea contributions talk 08:06, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

To develop the above further: if a reliable secondary source has reported on passenger complaints, that can be added to the article. What we cannot do is use primary sources such as complaints forums, Facebook groups, or Tripadvisor posts to draw our own conclusions and post that to Wikipedia. --bonadea contributions talk 08:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ashafir. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Flixbus. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Begoon 08:27, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Begoon. As an experienced editor can you explain why you blocking the very grounded and referenced information about Flixbus? The problem with Flixbus that it is the money matter for them. And for the passengers. Lets's say Flixbus collected EUR10 from a passenger. And the bus was canceled. So the passenger travel plan canceled as well. In average it cost a passenger over 100EURO to find an alternative transportation in the same day or to stay overnight and to have the alternative. This is besides the very common ripped luggage cases and other. Flixbus is now an international company and concealing this verified information from the community will have grave consequences. How it works for you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashafir (talk • contribs) 08:42, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You've misunderstood. I'm not "blocking" anything. Please read the message I posted above. When you are aware that editors disagree with your additions the onus is on you, as the party wishing to add the content, to go to the article talk page and attempt to gain consensus. If you continue just to add the content, despite being aware of the objections, that is edit-warring - so your edits will be reverted until proper procedures are followed. Edit-warring is treated pretty seriously, and blocks are common, so my revert and my message above were just to try and help steer you in the right direction before you got yourself in trouble. I don't really have much of an opinion on the content, and anyway that should be discussed at Talk:Flixbus. I hope that makes things clearer for you. Cheers. -- Begoon 08:50, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
