Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might like to see:

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see this page. If you edit without a username, your IP address (199.79.165.2) is used to identify you instead.

In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your comments on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. Again, welcome! — Cirt (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of oldest universities in continuous operation, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to El aula vacía because it did not appear constructive.

  I noticed that you have posted comments to the page El aula vacía in a language other than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia, please always use English, no matter to whom you address your comments. This is so that comments may be comprehensible to the community at large. If the use of another language is unavoidable, please provide a translation of the comments. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you.

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Mohammad Mosaddegh. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, 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 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 lead to a loss of editing privileges.

I see you've already started a discussion on the talk page. Thank you for that. If talk page discussion fails to reach an agreement or a consensus, please take a look at our dispute resolution policy for information on further steps. Mz7 (talk) 17:28, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi - that make sense. thank you. will keep visiting the Talk forum to see what the group decides on. How does one know what decision is made regarding an edit?
You're welcome, I'm glad it makes sense to you. The goal of discussing on the talk page is to come to a consensus or an agreement with the other editors on the way forward. In most cases, a "decision" is made when a consensus has been established. In most content disputes, consensus is established naturally, but if you can't seem to reach a consensus, please take a look at our avenues of dispute resolution. It may be possible to have third, uninvolved party take a look at the dispute and attempt to compromise. Remember, consensus does not have to be unanimous, and you or other editors might find yourself in the dissenting minority in a dispute. If a majority of other editors have come to a consensus regarding a dispute, my advice would be to disengage and revisit the issue another time. Even if your position on the article is not accepted, it might be in the future. Regards, Mz7 (talk) 02:09, 5 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Understood. Curious, is there a way to send a direct private message to you? (still learning. I will go through the tutorial soon) 199.79.165.2 (talk) 14:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 20:42, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at President of Venezuela. ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 22:45, 11 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
