January 2016

Hello, I'm Keri. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of terrorist incidents, January–June 2013, 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.

Hello, I'm Keri. 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 Ulster Defence Association seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Keri (talk) 15:22, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Ulster Defence Association shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Disambiguation link notification for July 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lambay Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Irish. 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.

Hello, I'm Denisarona. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Easter Rising, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Dunkirk evacuation

Not to be rude, but what you called an Irish ship at Dunkirk evacuation was formally not YET an Irish ship. As your source stated, the ship was not handed over to the new owners, the Irish Navy, during the evacuation. It was still owned by the (British) shipyard. The Banner talk 23:33, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

The ship had been purchased and the crew were Irish Naval personnel. I'm using the same rational that allowed Slovakia to be listed as a belligerent on the "Greenland in World War II"talk 23:37, 24 January 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.44.181.59 (talk)

You are wrong, during the evacuation it was still a British ship. Only after the handover is became formally an Irish ship. The Banner talk 23:47, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
