Information icon Hello, I'm CommanderWaterford. I noticed that you recently removed content from C'était un rendez-vous without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at 2020 Formula One World Championship. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

Please take you proposed change to Talk:2020 Formula One World Championship if you are being repeatedly reverted and try to persuade people that the information is notable there. Thank you,

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Grand Moff Tarkin, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page CGI (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.)

Citations

[edit]

Hi. I noticed you recently added some sources to Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. However, you only added bare URL's (links to the websites). You need to convert these to proper citations using templates such as {{cite web}}. Please see WP:CITE for more information.Tvx1 17:03, 24 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stephen C Taylor, two things I want to talk about,

Minor edits

[edit]

Information icon I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at 2020 British Grand Prix 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.

Problem with your custom signature

[edit]

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
  4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
  1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
  2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
  3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

3RR Warning on Max Verstappen

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Max Verstappen 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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.

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at 2021 Formula One World Championship. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:47, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't difficult to add reliable sources if they exist. And if the sources don't exist, then it's speculation which shouldn't be added. Don't see what isn't clear about that. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:55, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Joseph2302: How have we got to an unsourced4 with a single warning within the last month and an addition of content which is clearly good faith? It's definitely on the editor to add citations but with this you could easily find a reference by a simple Google search. FozzieHey (talk) 11:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There's a warning for adding speculation as recently as yesterday, and an entire talkpage full of warnings for it (including an L2 last month) This is excluding all the times they've added unsourced material where a warning hasn't been added. I know many F1 editors are fed up at the unsourced speculation being added by this user. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:59, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And the onus is on the user to add sources, not for other people to go find sources when others cannot be bothered. It's completely acceptable to revert unsourced material as per WP:VERIFY. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:01, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Joseph2302: Sure it's fine to revert it but it's not exactly helping the project when a citation can easily be found. I'd very much prefer if @Stephen C Taylor: could communicate and add citations to their edits and I'm not doubting that. I just don't think it's fine to post a template that assumes bad faith and threatens a block when clearly it was a good faith addition. FozzieHey (talk) 13:31, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@FozzieHey: the additions are good faith, nobody denies that. However, continingly failing to add citations is considered disruptive. As much as I appreciate Stephen's contributions he must start citing his contributions.

This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work.

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Rogue One, you may be blocked from editing.
