Hello, I'm SunDawn. I noticed that you made a change to an article, MIL-STD-810, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 22:49, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I’ll re add it and provide the source ! Kwikygoat (talk) 22:57, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

welcome to Wikipedia. You seem to be a new user so I have enclosed a few of the Wikipedia procedures.

Of particular note is the need to discuss edits on the Talk pages of articles. Edit wars are to be avoided. I hope you make many good contributions to Wikipedia. Cheers Rlsheehan (talk) 12:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022

Hello, I'm Girth Summit. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of largest companies by revenue, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Girth Summit _(blether) 23:09, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Please know that Apple is a reliable source in the Apple universe. Apple has the latest numbers, and Fortune which you probably consider as the reliable source gets its data from Apple. At the end of every quarter, Apple does an earnings call, in that case on October 27, in which was given the number of gross margin of 99,8 billion of $ for the year, and 394,3 as revenue. Please hit me back if you have any questions about whether a source is reliable or not, as long as it’s about Apple. Thanks for your understanding.

Have a great day. Kwikygoat (talk) 23:12, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand how we work here. You need to cite the source when you change information - you can't just change an article so that it shows figures which are contradicted by the cited source. Please either cite a source (which should be both reliable annd independent of the subject), or self-revert. I warn you, as a site administrator, that this sort of behaviour is putting you at risk of having your account blocked. Girth Summit _(blether) 23:17, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes, I feel like Wikipedia is one of the best inventions ever. At others, I feel like this is just a heap of shit. It’s full of people with no knowledge about a particular subject, correcting others who do have knowledge in that subject. This is actually what moderators do. They don’t have that knowledge in all those topics, do they, since it would require lives to have all that knowledge ? Yet they prefer quantity over quality, do not fact check, and only act on their only interest. If Wikipedia really were to hire good administrators, in my opinion, administrators would only be authorized to edit subjects they are knowledgeable about.Anyways, I’ll give you that Fortune source you desire so much, which by the way had their numbers from Apple itself, the only reliable source in the Apple world. You don’t know that and I don’t expect you to, but Apple sees rumors everyday, this is actually one of the biggest issues the company secretly deals with, but hey, it’s fine.

Oh, just realized why Fortune numbers aren’t in line with mines. They haven’t refreshed theirs since March. Kwikygoat (talk) 23:25, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine - we can wait for independent media to report on the latest figures. It doesn't have to be Fortune - any independent reliable media organisation would be adequate. With regards to your other comments, look at it this way: we have no way of knowing whether any editor is an expert on what they claim to be an expert on, or whether they're just some random guy on the internet who knows nothing about anything. That's why we have policies governing verifiability, reliable sourcing and so on. We don't care who you are, or what you know; what we care about is sourcs. Demonstrate that what you are writing is correct, by recourse to reliable sourcing, and you will not have people reverting your edits. And FWIW, I'm not hired - I'm a volunteer, just like you, I've just been around long enough to learn the ropes. Girth Summit _(blether) 23:32, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm David Eppstein. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Fibonacci have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

In addition see WP:SOAPBOX. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:56, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hey,

Us kabyles (Inhabitants of Béjaia and it’s surroundings) don’t consider Béjaia and kabyles city as Algerian cities in the first place, but instead kabyles ones. Fibonacci, when he came to Kabylia (yes it’s in Algeria but as I said since centuries we don’t consider it as a part of Algeria, especially the most patriotic ones of us), talked to Berber tribes (Kabyles in that case, their are as well Chaouis, Chleuh, etc) which I find important to showcase by putting Kabylia instead of Algeria. You might know it, but Kabyles have an entirely different culture than the rest of the country which has been "arabisé" (unfortunately became Arabic since the Arab conquests around 700 after JC). Kabyles and other Berber tribes are one of the few who kept their culture, language and pride. Kwikygoat (talk) 23:53, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Kabylia. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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. M.Bitton (talk) 16:45, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Valereee. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Kabylia that didn't seem very civil. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please don't comment on other editors; comment on edits. "I’ll stop answering and let you in your ignorance my Caucasian friend." is a personal attack. Valereee (talk) 10:25, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for the message if it has been considered mean. I wasn’t going to talk to him more anyway, and I will avoid personal attacks next time. Kwikygoat (talk) 11:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And honestly, I don’t see how I could make any personal attack more, since I the subjects I contribute to on Wikipedia aren’t history where personal attacks are easy to be slipped in. Kwikygoat (talk) 11:06, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
