Hello. You have showed up at some US army truck articles I play with. These articles are written in US English and it looks like you are using UK English. Unless you mind when I notice one I am just going to change the spelling or whatever to US English. Not what you say, just how you spell it. If this is a problem please let me know. Thank you. Sammy D III (talk) 17:09, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you are interested in copy-editing army trucks in general I can show you several that need it badly. Sammy D III (talk) 15:53, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CAPFRAG and brevity

Please review WP:CAPFRAG and cease adding full stops to image captions that are not complete sentences. Secondly, adding unnecessary verbiage without any additional information diminishes the quality of writing. Please review WP:ATE. Thank you, Citobun (talk) 07:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

National varieties of English

In a recent edit to the page Douglas A2D Skyshark, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 11:01, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Hohum. I noticed that you made a change to an article, T-34, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Reliable sources

Since you are not providing sources, I asked User:Domdeparis to know how to react. Aniway, please give your sources, all your edits are not improving wikipedia (read WP:V).--Le Petit Chat (talk) 08:03, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 2019

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently adding unsourced or poorly sourced content.

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 ~~~~}}. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:41, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Cavalry.charger, but you've been warned numerous times, both here and on various talk pages, regarding your repeated addition and modification of content without locating reliable sources and citing those sources in-line with your edits. For you to be unblocked and allowed to edit Wikipedia as before, you'll need to request an unblock (see the directions above) and provide sufficient explanation regarding Wikipedia's policies in this area, why you repeatedly failed to comply with them, and how you'll improve your editing and comply with these policies in your edits in the future if you were to be unblocked. An admin will need to be satisfied with your request and explanation that you'll follow the relevant policies in the future, and before you'll be unblocked. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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).

Cavalry.charger (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear Administrator(s), perhaps I may have come across as a pesky little insect constantly adding unsourced content on several Wikipedia pages and it may seem persistent, resulting in my being Blocked Indefinitely. First of all, I sincerely apologise for my actions. Truth be told, I am not intending to vandalise any pages with excessive content not backed up with proper sources, but then again I am unsure of how to properly include sources (despite reading through Wikipedia's guidelines). Some additions I have added are simply highlights from other sections of the page that may not be apparent and not unnecessary additions from elsewhere. In general, it is embarrassing that I am still relatively new to Wikipedia even for being a member of 3 years here, and there is much I can learn and improve on moving on! Indeed, I seek your forgiveness and I'll try my best to rid myself of such bad habits and mistakes on Wikipedia. Thank you and have a nice day.

Decline reason:

Please read this guide and demonstrate that you now understand how to cite sources. It would also help if you explained, in your own words, what a reliable source is. Once you do this, I think you should be unblocked. We just need to see that you understand our policies and can comply with them, that's all. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Hi Cavalry.charger, and thank you for your unblock request and your honest comments. There's nothing to be embarrassed about in regards to asking others for help with Wikipedia's policies or guidelines. We were all new here at one point in time, and it should never be a "demerit" against you if you ask others for help. In fact, I think it should be a commendable thing to do, as opposed to repeatedly violating policy or causing disruption. ;-) Adding an in-line citation is very easy to do; we even have templates that make the process much simpler. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources (especially this section on how to use the {{cite web}} template for web page sources), as this will likely account for a significant amount of sources that you'll be adding to articles. I'm required to leave your unblock request for another administrator to review, but if another admin decides that this user should be unblocked, you do not need my permission or my blessing to do so - just go ahead and unblock. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you kind sir! User: Oshwah

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Cavalry.charger (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear Administrator(s), based on what NinjaRobotPirate has advised me to do, I have read through Wikipedia's process of citing reliable sources when adding content on all pages and have understood the importance of such necessary actions. It is a strict but simple rule that all pages on Wikipedia requires a valid and substantiated source of information (coming from certified backgrounds such as (mainstream) certified news sources or books with validated and thoroughly-researched information) and should not be cited without any proof or purely based on what an individual and/or specific group claims or mentions. From all these, it is also clear that all my previous actions have contravened such a basic element of Wikipedia; once again, I am indeed remorseful for my unauthorised actions.

Accept reason:

I believe this explanation to be satisfactory, and I will remove the block. Please don't hesitate to ask questions seeking assistance; you may use the relevant article talk page, the Teahouse, or Help Desk. 331dot (talk) 07:44, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My sincere appreciation, kind sir! @331dot. Thank you to all Administrators out there too, for giving me a second chance to reform myself.

@331dot: this user has picked up where he left off with this edit [1], there is a ton of info that he has added that is not in the source from that section [2] notably the bit about picking fruit. This edit [3]from a few days ago has additions in a similar veine " (Thompsons had already been widely used throughout China since the 1930s, at a time when several Chinese warlords and their military factions running various parts of the fragmented country made purchases of the weapon and then subsequently produced many local copies)." this addition was not sourced, it may well be true but there is no way of checking. The original version says that the Thompsons captured were of American origin and the new version says they were Chinese-made versions. Most of his additions are WP:OR. --Dom from Paris (talk) 18:13, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Cavalry.charger, you are not adding sources with your edits. This is a requirement, if you don't have a source for it, you can't add information to an article. I don't wish to see you blocked again, but if you continue to add unsourced information, it is a possibility. 331dot (talk) 20:51, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear 331dot, the part regarding my edit on the "Thompson submachine gun" Page was simply an additional piece of information on Chinese Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal producing Thompsons for his military, as did various other warlords in China during the 1920s to the 1930s (you can check it up on the "Taiyuan Arsenal" Page). And regarding my edit to the "Western Water Catchment" Page, I admit I may have not been clear in adding the little bit of information at the end, regarding the picking of fruits from restricted military ground. I'll be looking around for a source to back up that last statement. Thank you. By Cavalry.charger
