June 2023

Hi Ick567! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Wheat Pennies several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Wheat Pennies, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you.

In this specific situation, we already have a very comprehensive article on this topic written at Lincoln cent, so as a previously-uninvolved editor I have restored the prior redirect. You are welcome to add information to Lincoln cent if you provide reliable sources that back it up. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 05:05, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Number of times countries changed their flags moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Number of times countries changed their flags, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:31, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ick567,

Soon these incomplete articles will not be moved to Draft space, they will simply be deleted. They are not ready for main space. Please work on improving articles in Draft space and then submit to Articles for Creation. Repeatedly undoing page moves will result in simple deletion if you keep ignoring the messages people are trying to offer you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:34, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Scioto County Schools. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:47, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. Please stop being disruptive, or you will be blocked. Star Mississippi 20:46, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ick567

Hello Ick567,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ick567 for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ick567. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Justi yaya 04:07, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
