Hi, I've undid your edits in the Azd page, please discuss your conflicting opinion here so we could come to consensus. Regards, DrunkenBedouin

May 2024

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Azd 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.

Well thanks for informing me about this, I agree to not knowing the three-revert rule, now I know it, and will follow it, but the reason why I kept reverting (will not do it again), is because during the discussion between me and the other party, that user kept changing it back and hence I changed it back to it’s original form before the discussion commenced. |MK| 📝 11:50, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, no, it was highly inconsiderate of you for having flooded the revision history to such an extent. This wasn't an urgent matter (like defacement, defamation, etc.). Both of you reverting back and forth takes the entire screen of the revision history. Please use an applicable dispute resolution request next time. Thank you. El_C 12:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Replying to your note and to your response to my unblock request, I didn’t see your note and that’s why I put a unblock request, if I had seen it I would’ve responded and not bothered with the request, and also I didn’t know about the three-revert rule, but when I knew when I was informed about it and knew my mistake, I submitted an unblock request explaining my actions. About the note, I agree with what you said, and again, I did not know about the three-revert rule while reverting, now I know and will stick to three reverts a day, that is if I ever needed those three reverts at any given day. |MK| 📝 12:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Say I unblocked you, what would your intent for that article be for the immediate moment? El_C 12:45, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing, I would just continue discussing in the talk page. |MK| 📝 12:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well you can do that now. Neither one of you is blocked from the talk page, that will always be expressly noted. El_C 12:54, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partial block

[edit]
Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked temporarily from editing Azd for violation of the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  El_C 11:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock from Azd request

[edit]
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The MK (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Well I did violate the three-revert rule, but it wasent to disrupt anything, me and another user, DrunkenBedouin, were involved in a discussion about my changes, where during the discussion in Talk: Azd DrunkenBedouin kept reverting the changes that we were discussing before reaching an understanding or a consensus, which, if i’m not wrong, is not allowed |MK| 📝 12:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Looks to me like the block from that one article is helpful to Wikipedia. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 14:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I guess you're not gonna bother replying to my note to you above...? Oh well. Also, how do you claim to not know the rules, but at the same time also claim to know the rules? Does not align. El_C 12:14, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Improving South Yemen

[edit]

Hey MK! I've been thinking of trying to turn South Yemen into a GA status and i taught that i could use some help from you. Here is the peer review of the article Abo Yemen 17:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean to apply the comments by CMD? I’d be glad to help! |MK| 📝 03:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah and we can also expand and add other sections to the article Abo Yemen 10:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ill try to fix the history section as it is clearly missing lots of important events Abo Yemen 10:42, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True it needs more sections, other than the Geography section, I think we should add an Infrastructure section, that is if we are able to find proper sources for it. I tried to look for demographic sources for South Yemen before the unity and couldn’t find any proper one, most of which were after the unity. Perhaps there are Arabic sources about demographics? |MK| 📝 11:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
for the demographics ima go search for documents from the cia or something that could provide any info. For the article sections, I think we should see GA level articles, like Jordan, and try to mimic the article structure Abo Yemen 12:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes but it has to be prior to 1990, else we can't add that to the article, and yes mimicking the structure of GA articles is a good idea, I'll look into it. |MK| 📝 13:19, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have an idea, how about we make a draft page for the new sections (for expanding) so that we can improve upon it separately, then we add that to the article. |MK| 📝 20:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
alright. but i think doing it in a sandbox would be better Abo Yemen 21:20, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good either way. |MK| 📝 21:35, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is your sandbox empty? cus mine isn't Abo Yemen 12:53, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I haven’t used mine, we can use it. |MK| 📝 13:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Palestine

[edit]

I'm new to that WikiProject myself (actually new to Wikipedia), but thought you might be interested.

We invite you to join WikiProject Palestine. There you can also find and coordinate with users who are trying to improve Palestine-related articles. If you would like to get involved, just visit the members page or inquire at the project's talk page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or other members of the WikiProject Palestine. Happy editing, Pingy/Pongy 02:13, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the invite! I’ll join gladly. |MK| 📝 02:56, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! (And thanks for the edit on my user page, didn't see that :P. Hope you don't mind me copying that from yours) Pingy/Pongy 08:37, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime, and there is no problem brother. |MK| 📝 13:17, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of mobile network operators in the Middle East and Africa, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MTN. 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.)

DCWC closing update

[edit]

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! India Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.
