Hello, I'm S0091. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Hargeisa have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. S0091 (talk) 22:58, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi History1960! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Hargeisa 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:Hargeisa, 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. S0091 (talk) 18:34, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

I see you did post a note on the talk page but so far no one has joined the discussion. However, trying to enforce your point of view by reinstating your changes will likely lead to you being blocked even if you are right (being right is not an excuse to edit war). You might try posting a note at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard to see you can get others to join but you will need to be prepared to backup your arguments with reputable sources and be open to compromise. Also, do read through the previous discussion back in 2021. S0091 (talk) 18:57, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, S0091 (talk) 23:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Horn of Africa (defined as including Ethiopia, Somalia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and adjoining areas if involved in related disputes). Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

To opt out of receiving messages like this one, place {{Ds/aware}} on your user talk page and specify in the template the topic areas that you would like to opt out of alerts about. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Just so you are aware. S0091 (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Hargeisa (Somalia)

Hello, History1960. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Hargeisa (Somalia), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Your draft article, Draft:Hargeisa (Somalia)

Hello, History1960. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hargeisa".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:33, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
