Hi

Please do not impute ulterior motives on my actions (that I am desperate). I will not go on playing with words such as what official is or not, it's the largest organization and is registered. If you're going to play with word semantics, go for it, you'd be alone. [[[User:Yahya Talatin|Yaḥyā ‎]] (talk) 15:01, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's that last encounter I am having with you to clarify what would be obvious for most (and the reason why it is in your talkpage I am replying) by now.

The Muslim Council of Britain is a national representative Muslim umbrella body with over 500 affiliated national, regional and local organisations, mosques, charities and schools. [1]

The largest national representative of British Muslim associations, mosques and schools. [2]

It's the de facto official organ of the British Muslim associations (by their own mandate). For anyone to claim otherwise (and defeat it's defacto purpose) they have to rely on constructs and word semantics to define what is official and what is not (arbitrary parameters with strong selection bias). This raises more issues on editors intentions rather than plain simple observations on the role of the organization (and its mandate) itself.

But don't bother my desperation (for merely pointing the arbitrary nature of such an exclusion) and shouting and covering of my own mistake (by your own words), I know where to stop. Yaḥyā ‎ (talk) 19:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Firearms policy in the United Kingdom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William of Orange (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Redcar (UK Parliament constituency), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conservative Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

May 2020

Hi Fahrenheit666! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Irish Republican Army 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.

Hello, I'm FDW777. 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 Irish Republican Army 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.

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 Troubles. 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.

In addition the Irish Republican Army article, and similar articles, are subject to a 1-revert-rule restriction, meaning no more than one revert in a 24 hour period. FDW777 (talk) 06:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Denniss. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to German battleship Bismarck have been undone because they did not appear constructive.

What's the source for a shell penetrating Hood's "thin" deck armour? Fahrenheit666 (talk) 09:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's in the article. You've been blocked for 24 hours for edit-warring and disruptive editing. When the block expires, please use the talk page. Parsecboy (talk) 10:28, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't. The claim that a shell penetrated the deck armour is UNSOURCED. That's why I removed it. You do not own this article. Fahrenheit666 (talk) 10:44, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"At 06:00, Hood was completing the second turn to port when Bismarck's fifth salvo hit. Two of the shells landed short, striking the water close to the ship, but at least one of the 38 cm armour-piercing shells struck Hood and penetrated her thin deck armour. The shell reached Hood's rear ammunition magazine and detonated 112 t (110 long tons) of cordite propellant.[61]". That footnote points to Bercuson & Herwig. That you are unable to follow a simple hyperlink is your problem, not mine or anyone else's. If you continue to disrupt the article after your block expires, it will be lengthened. Find something else to do. Parsecboy (talk) 11:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I will decide what I do. You do not own the article. Fahrenheit666 (talk) 19:14, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are of course free to decide what you do, but you will not be free of the consequences. Rest assured that if you edit-war again, you'll be blocked again. Parsecboy (talk) 23:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

February 2023

Your recent editing history at Sophie Labelle 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; read about 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.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
