Hi Freee Contributor! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of African Americans several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:African Americans, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Rsk6400 (talk) 13:31, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I didn't restore anything, I simply changed the short description which didn't affect the main page Freee Contributor (talk) 14:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

WP is built on consensus of editors. It would have been good if you had taken the problem to the talk page after my first revert. Instead, you restored your preferred version once, and then, after I started the discussion, you changed the short description in a disruptive way. Disruptive, because a short description should match the lead sentence. Please take a look at WP:GAMING, WP:CONSENSUS, and WP:BRD. Rsk6400 (talk) 16:37, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Black Europeans of African ancestry. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please stop attempting to change definitions Meters (talk) 18:49, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

I do not agree with this as I did not change the definition, I expanded the definition to include Black Europeans of Caribbean ancestry as the article references them. Freee Contributor (talk) 19:59, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at List of ethnic groups of Africa, you may be blocked from editing. CodeTalker (talk) 03:41, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

I provided an adequate explanation, there was not enough citations and the information was quite out of date Freee Contributor (talk) 09:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Josh Duggar, you may be blocked from editing. OIM20 (talk) 16:03, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

It was not vandalisation, nor was the language inflammatory. It was factual information. Freee Contributor (talk) 16:08, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Black Europeans. Stop trying to insert your change to the lead. The comments in the RM were clear that Caribbean Africans are already included in the original definition. Meters (talk) 19:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I did not disrupt Wikipedia in any way. I updated it with a citation as the previous introduction had no citation. I recommend you stop the harassment. Freee Contributor (talk) 22:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

No, this is not what you do prior to my warning. We can see exactly what changes you made, and when. Prior to my warning you made this [1] edit, which restored your attempt to add Caribbean Africans as something not included in the existing definition, and without a source. After my warning you added a completely different definition with a source, and did not include Caribbean Africans as not being included in the definition [2]. Meters (talk) 00:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Firstly, they're Afro-Caribbeans or African Caribbeans not Caribbean Africans, you keep continuing this misnaming and you have shown yourself to not understand the African diaspora or Black Europeans. Secondly, the African diaspora includes Afro-Caribbeans. The original intro had no citations and the article mentions Afro-Caribbean people so they must be included. People descended from Afro-Caribbeans are already included in the definition of Black European and the introduction further specifies that not all groups identify with Black African.

• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 14:07, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:The Physical Anthropology of the West Saharan Nomads Plate K.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Physical Anthropology of the West Saharan Nomads Plate K.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:57, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Reversion on List of Gen Z Slang

I hope your day's going well! I've noticed your reversion of BasedGigachad's edits on the List of Gen Z Slang and thought I'd like to note that while I don't disagree with your decision, you should definitely go to their talk page and explain why you reverted their contributions. It'll be confusing for them to see that their edits have been completely erased and rejected. It'll stir frustration. See WP:REVEXP for more details.

Cheers! TheWikiToby (talk) 18:43, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello

couple things..

1. Do not erroneously refer to valid policy based decision as vandalism 2. You clearly have an agenda, that's your prerogative, but adding unknown sources will get you nowhere fast

To avoid edit warring, go to the talk page of articles you wish to drastically alter, thanks. 2603:6011:59F0:1F20:6158:9FCF:CC4:EAD1 (talk) 16:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Those statements were already present for a long time and sources have been added (including from the National Museum of African American History and Culture as well as a Master's thesis. If you continue with this, you will reported and you may be blocked from editing. Freee Contributor (talk) 17:16, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked for your disruptive editing through removing sourced content that has been present for quite some time Freee Contributor (talk) 18:22, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
