February 2017

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. An edit that you recently made to Norwegian New Zealanders seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
Please note that the 'total' parameter for 'ethnic group' templates is reserved for the total population of an ethnic group worldwide: i.e., the total population of Norwegians in the world including the diaspora. Cheers! Iryna Harpy (talk) 21:27, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=2oczE7SODTUnF5j_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_1KTcYLaxzQAjP1z&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:18, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

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

FaZe Clan edit

You asked me what the heck is "wRrRos" I put on the start and to be honest, I don't know. My Wikipedia has been glitching when editing tables, so maybe I accidentally wrote something like that without knowing. Krafko (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:23, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

"States" field in "Infobox language"

You've made several changes to instances of "Infobox language" that purport to distinguish the "states" field as the origin of the language, and the "region" field as the region where a language is spoken. That seems to be at odds with both the existing usage and the documentation at Template:Infobox_language, which defines "states" as "countries in which it is mainly spoken". What's the rationale for the change? Nitpicking polish (talk) 01:17, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

January 2019

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Thai Chinese. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 block.

Please also avoid using the word "vandalism" in this context, see Wikipedia:Avoid the word "vandal", thanks. IamNotU (talk) 09:29, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Article' Maghrebis'

Why did this appear in the article heading?

"The Moors were simply Maghrebis, inhabitants of the maghreb, the western part of the Islamic world, that extends from Spain to Tunisia, and represents a homogeneous cultural entity."

Spain has never been part of the Maghreb, Spain is part of Europe. What do you think? Blade and the rest (talk) 07:55, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Isan People in Thailand

I am Johncdraper - you asked about Isan people in Thailand; they are officially recognised by the Royal Thai Government as 'Thai Lao' (Lao of Thailand) or 'Lao Isan' (Lao of the Northeast). See Table 1, p. 95, in this cited link: http://www.rlpd.go.th/rlpdnew/images/rlpd_1/HRC/CERD%201_3.pdf Johncdraper (talk) 09:03, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

@Johncdraper: I see, thank you for the explanation. The same was posted on the talkpage by another user; it appears to be an agenda. I am not familiar with the region so I thought they might have been a separate but related group. ChrisTakey (talk) 17:21, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
