Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at German colonial empire, you may be blocked from editing. Do not misrepresent sources like this. TompaDompa (talk) 19:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Wiki page itself contradicts the source, click once on Cameroon and look at the size on Wiki and on your source, your source states the 1910 Size but not 1912 Size. Docd13 (talk) 23:03, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of wars involving Germany, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kingdom of Croatia. 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.)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of wars involving Poland. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You have twice restored unsourced unverified information to the article. This is a list of wars, not a general list of military events or individual events that occurred during a war. Information on English Wikipedia is required to be sourced and the sources must support the information and verify that the entry meets the article criteria. // Timothy :: talk 00:12, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of German–Danish war of 974

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on German–Danish war of 974 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/399517.Eric_Schumacher/blog. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

List of wars involving Germany

Hello Docd13, I appreciate your efforts in documenting the military history of Germany. It is a bit unhelpful, however, that you have added numerous entries to List of wars involving Germany before 1806, which has been split off to List of wars involving the Holy Roman Empire in April 2023 per WP:LENGTH. Now there is significant WP:OVERLAP between them. Shall we integrate your pre-1806 edits at List of wars involving Germany into List of wars involving the Holy Roman Empire? Tschüss! NLeeuw (talk) 14:51, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave the wars before 1806 where they are now, Ukraine and Russia have also listed the Kievan rus wars in it although they have their own article and the HRE is very important for Germany Docd13 (talk) 19:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And yes sure, you can also integrate the wars of the HRE before 1806 to the HRE article site Docd13 (talk) 20:00, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Granted, I created the List of wars involving Kievan Rus', with Template:Excerpt links from both lists as a compromise, because as you probably understand, they both claim to be the only true real genuine legitimate successors to Kievan Rus'. It was the best I could do.

Yet, most scholars will agree that modern Germany did not exist before the 19th century. I have been quite generous by still including the Confederation of the Rhine, the German Confederation, and North German Confederation, as many historians would say there wasn't really a German state until 1871 (with the possible exception of German Empire (1848–1849)).

Either way, the primary reason for splitting part of the list off was one of pragmatism: it is simply WP:TOOLONG. I have done the same with France before I started on Germany:

List of wars involving Francia
List of wars involving the Kingdom of France
List of wars involving France (starts on 21 September 1792 with the proclamation of the Republic).

Nobody will deny that Francia and the Kingdom of France are important for the prior history of the French Republic, just like nobody will deny that the HRE was important for the prior history of the German Empire and the Federal Republic of Germany. But we need to keep articles at a manageable WP:SIZE. NLeeuw (talk) 21:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
