Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 2.44.156.165, has made edits to Pacilia (gens) that do not conform to our policies and therefore have been reverted. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

Some good links for newcomers are:

Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and a timestamp. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask the Help Desk, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Edits to Pacilia (gens)

edit

Your edits to Pacilia (gens) have been reverted multiple times for reasons that are discussed on that article's talk page. Please consider visiting the talk page to discuss the reasons why your edits are being reverted, and what steps you should take to avoid future edits to this or other articles from being reverted. Note particularly that you must have a reliable source for potentially controversial facts; in this case you are contradicting what a reliable source says.

I don't mean that Cicero's assertion is incontrovertible; but that he made it is verifiable fact, and no ancient or modern source seems to dispute his assertion. You have a hypothesis that would, if true, call his assertion into question; but it's just your hypothesis, and it's not supported by any independent reliable sources. In fact it seems rather improbable given that the assertion was made years before the house was referred to, and in another place, and in the absence of the slightest evidence that the two Pacilii referred to were the same person (and if Cicero's original characterization was true, then they must have referred to different people).

But all of this should be discussed on the article's talk page, so that other interested editors have the opportunity to weigh in. In the mean time, please consider familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. You might also consider making yourself a user account, so that you can have a unique user page and talk page, and make edits to Wikipedia under a user name of your choice, rather than relying on an IP address that might be shared with other users. If you want to discuss your edits to Pacilia (gens) further, please do so on that article's talk page, which I've linked above. P Aculeius (talk) 17:57, 7 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pacilia (gens); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

also, please refrain from adding unsourced material to articles -- Deepfriedokra 13:36, 26 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
