Edit summaries

That's the formal, template driven welcome above, but this is a more specific suggestion.

Since you're enthusiastically contributing to the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article at the moment, one that a lot of people will have on their Watchlists, could you please try to provide Edit summaries fro your changes. It tells other editors what you're trying to achieve.

Welcome again, and keep up the good work. HiLo48 (talk) 08:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MH 370

I noticed you reverted my edit [1], please give me a clearer reason of this. Thanks... TheAirplaneGuy (talk) 12:35, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was just clarifying that it is missing.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: lede

Hi, there!

I see that you removed some information from the lede section of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 because it was "Already repeated in the incident section." The purpose of the lede section is to summarise the key points, so most of this information will usually be repeated (in more detail) later in the article: see WP:LEDE. That said, the information that you deleted may be too detailed for the lede so I'm not reverting it, I just wanted to make sure you understood the purpose of the lede, as the reason you gave would not always be a reason to delete information from the lede – otherwise there wouldn't be much left! —sroc 💬 13:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes thanks. I do understand that. There was just too much info in there.

Stop

Stop removing the Mozambique source, I provided a reference so there is no need. Thank you. --Gįs Contismalter (talk) 20:02, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Source does not verify this.

I started a section at the talk page of the article, makes it easier for everyone to respond in one place, see: Talk:Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370#Mozambique Redalert2fan (talk) 20:21, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

March 2014

Your recent editing history at Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Please cease the edit warring at once and resume discussion in civil manner in the talk page of the article. Mark Chung (talk) 20:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. The report was made in the wrong place (on WP:AN rather than WP:ANI) and apparently the reporter did not notify you as required, figured that I would do so. Dwpaul ^Talk 22:06, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also see this, which I would guess is going absolutely nowhere since it lacks basic information needed for its investigation. Dwpaul ^Talk 22:15, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the report, diffs are provided at my talk page.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 22:42, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

fix it please

Please do not remove comments from the talk page. Please reinsert my comment back to the talk page of flight 370. Thank you. Stephanie Bowman (talk) 05:51, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize Stephanie I reverted your edit as it seemed you deleted the questions heading and it merged with the above question. Apologies. Thecodingproject (talk) 05:56, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm FenixFeather. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed 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. – FenixFeather ^(talk)^(Contribs) 01:56, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:ZaharieFlightSim.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:ZaharieFlightSim.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. El Grafo (talk) 09:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

Hey, just dropping by again. The infobox had many changes that you reverted. Editors have decided to change the text in the infobox for a reason. The article is constantly evolving. Please stop restoring it to an earlier state. If you have a problem with the infobox, go to the talkpage, there is PLENTY of discussion there. – FenixFeather ^(talk)^(Contribs) 22:26, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More specifically, see this for why "in absentia" should not be used, and see this and this for why we changed "crash" and the satellite business. – FenixFeather ^(talk)^(Contribs) 22:29, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look, you're really in danger of violating WP:EW. If an editor reverts your edit to something that said "NEED CONSENSUS FIRST," you should defer to that editor, rather than reverting their revert and then claiming that they should go to the talk page. The burden is on you to start the topic on the talk page when it says consensus should be established first. Thanks. – FenixFeather ^(talk)^(Contribs) 22:43, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not violating anything. He thanked me for the edit. Go comment on his page. – Thecodingproject (talk) 22:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One plane - five planes? - Sorry - I must've picked up the wrong article - you were right! I would've changed it back, but you beat me to it:) Lynbarn (talk) ... or did you change the ref? The ref now is to BBC, but described as the Independent. Lynbarn (talk)

Yes I c/p'd it over by accident. Just click on the link and you will be redirected to the news article. – Thecodingproject (talk) 13:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Iquique Earthquake 2014.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Iquique Earthquake 2014.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:21, 19 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

October 2015

Your recent editing history at Mercury (planet) 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 get 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.
