July 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Montana-class battleship, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - ^theWOLFchild 16:55, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thewolfchild:This wasn't original research. It's simply correcting sloppy English. The entire sentence in question has no apparent reference that I can see (the footnote is to a spurious recommissioning analysis from 1999), so why don't you delete it in its entirety? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Swiss Frank (talk • contribs) 03:34, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Thewolfchild:I've been waiting 18 months for your response. Swiss Frank (talk) 17:39, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't forget to sign your posts. The "reply to" (aka ping) notification doesn't work unless it's added the same time as your signature. As for your reply, if you don't feel the content is adequately supported, you can find and add a better source, or if you feel the current source is not reliable, you can challenge it at WP:RSN. - wolf 18:39, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

American Politics editing

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

February 2019

Your recent editing history at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez 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 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 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is in reference to your recent edits here: diff, diff, diff, and also this one from a couple of weeks ago: diff. Please review the Discretionary Sanctions notice you received above. The article is under WP:1RR, which means you may only revert once per 24 hours. You have tried three times to make a change that does not have consensus and that has been reverted. Do not try to delete the material again; instead, start a discussion on the article talk page. Thank you. ^Leviv_ich 17:42, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to add a note saying thank you for starting the discussion section at Talk:Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez/Archive 5#Brook Avenue Press. Also, a "P.S.", please sign your talk page posts by writing four tildes ("~~~~") after what you write, so everyone can tell who wrote what. (You can change your signature in your preferences if you want to.) For example: I'm writing "Cheers! ~~~~" and that will show up as: Cheers! ^Leviv_ich 18:34, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Canon EOS R6 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Canon EOS R6, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It is also a WP:CRYSTAL violation. Please wait until more information and sources become available. b uidhe 05:32, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
