Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

September 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to List of sovereign states, appears to have been inappropriate, and has been reverted. Please feel free to use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Reunion is a totally different page, and I don't know what makes you think that the "Department of State" is an authority on WP:COMMONNAME. David Biddulph (talk) 08:46, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of sovereign states, you may be blocked from editing. Again you've linked to a totally irrelevant page at Reunion. Please read WP:COMMONNAME, and stop these disruptive edits. David Biddulph (talk) 11:33, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Your removal of the accents has been reverted by 3 different editors. Please stop edit-warring.

Disambiguation link notification for September 18

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Africa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reunion. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:46, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Azad Kashmir, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 13:27, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Eurasia. 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 lose their editing privileges on that page. 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 result in loss of your editing privileges.

Please follow WP:BRD and discuss on the article's talk page. Kautilya3 (talk) 07:42, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

DS-notice: Arab-Israeli conflict

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

This notice is due to your involvement in a content dispute at List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Asia _signed, Rosguill ^talk 05:14, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

October 2020

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Asia‎. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  _signed, Rosguill ^talk 05:44, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

November 2020

Your recent editing history at Dependent territory shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You have just come off a block for similar actions. It would be much more productive if you would discuss ideas on talk pages. CMD (talk) 06:55, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. CMD (talk) 10:09, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello Atelerixia. You are risking a block for warring at Dependent territory per the report at:

• WP:AN3#User:Atelerixia reported by User:Chipmunkdavis (Result: ).

The next admin may decide you are continuing the war for which you were recently blocked. There may still be time for you to avoid a block if you respond and promise not to edit Dependent territory for a period of time. – EdJohnston (talk) 18:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Continued edit warring at Dependent territory after a report at WP:AN3

It appears that this edit at Dependent territory is a continuation of the edit war that was previously reported, and led to a warning.

You were changing the status of an island called Jan Mayen. Can you explain why I shouldn't block your account for disruption? You were previously blocked on 27 October by User:Rosguill for edit warring. EdJohnston (talk) 15:41, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Another user, TheRealGrantma, also expected that Jan Mayen would be on the list and wondered why it had not been added yet. As one of two internal territories of Norway (the other one being Svalbard) it meets the criteria for inclusion in the List of similar entities. Its listing there would therefore be appropriate and not at all disruptive. 50.111.70.64 (talk) 02:00, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

The question about Jan Mayen is for editors to handle by consensus, not just for unilateral decision by you. You aren't supposed to restore it by edit warring. You didn't reply properly to my question why I shouldn't block your account, and I see you've been starting to revert other people on related articles, so I'm going ahead with the original block that would have been issued at WP:AN3 on 14 November. See the block notice below. EdJohnston (talk) 03:15, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

More edit warring on articles about territories

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

See the section just above for details, including the link to the earlier report at WP:AN3. Also see the background for this iisue at User talk:EdJohnston#Wikipedia article "Dependent_territory". You have gone ahead and made changes similar to the contested ones at List of sovereign states and dependent territories in Oceania. Since late October you seem to have made a total of six reverts there, and you have never posted on its talk page. If you have the patience to wait for agreement on talk pages before making controversial changes you can avoid all these problems. EdJohnston (talk) 03:27, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I found that many of my edits were being reverted because I did not describe the changes that I was making in the edit summary box. I recently started to provide detailed reasons for my edits in that box and, as a result, have found that my edits are now being accepted. I have used the talk pages on various articles but think that I need to use them a lot more than I have so far. I intend to do that from now on and would hope that I could be unblocked with that thought in mind. Atelerixia (talk) 04:45, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your unblock request is ok, but you need to commit to not edit warring. Using talk pages is good, but needs to be done instead of edit warring, rather than in addition. Also, if you cannot reach agreement on the talk page, you should seek dispute resolution - something you did not mention. PhilKnight (talk) 05:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Hello, I'm Kautilya3. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to History of Gilgit-Baltistan seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 19:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Atelerixia! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Irma la Douce 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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Sumanuil. 07:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
