  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Kazakhstan. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Double sharp (talk) 10:06, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Kamala Harris. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:14, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kamala Harris, you may be blocked from editing. clpo13(talk) 19:54, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

You've reverted three times on this article ([1], [2], [3]), so another revert would put you over WP:3RR and likely see you blocked for edit warring, especially if you don't explain your edits and provide sources. clpo13(talk) 20:01, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Aegean Airlines, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jetstreamer Talk 20:27, 28 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

December 2019

edit

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Air Europa, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Jetstreamer Talk 14:47, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did on SkyUp. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Linking to another Wikipedia article is not sourcing. Jetstreamer Talk 14:51, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Jetstreamer kindly refrain from vandalizing this entry. Get informed instead on the 737MAX situation. Every single one of my edits is sourced.

I strongly suggest you to inform yourself about what vandalism really is before accusing another editor of being a vandal.--Jetstreamer Talk 13:47, 25 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ukraine International Airlines. Jetstreamer Talk 13:42, 25 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Air Europa; 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. Jetstreamer Talk 13:46, 25 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your recent activity at Air Europa and Blue Air

edit

Regarding this [4] reversion of yours, it is clear that you do not understand the WP:VERIFY policy. Your edit has been reverted (as also this [5] one has been). The next time you reinstate such information in either article without providing sources I will file a report against you both for disruptive editing and for falsely accusing me of vandalism.--Jetstreamer Talk 19:53, 3 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

I strongly suggest you to stop treating anyone who is not in agreement with your edits as a vandal [6].--Jetstreamer Talk 22:13, 15 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

  There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User keeps calling vandals at those editors not in agreement with their edits. --Jetstreamer Talk 12:43, 17 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello,

You have been temporarily blocked for making repeated personal attacks. You have been making accusations of "vandalism" in content disputes since 2018, particularly in the past few months. This needs to stop. Personal attacks during content disputes are unacceptable. ~Swarm~ {sting} 02:07, 18 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

It is very poorly written. The article needs a complete rewriting. References are required for assertions. The grammer, spelling, and tense are sub-standard.

What is written is not the problem. HOW it is written ruins the article and the information is lost behind the myriad  mistakes. 99.250.25.63 (talk) 18:15, 19 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Granit Xhaka shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

National varieties of English

edit

  Hello. In a recent edit to the page 2026 FIFA World Cup, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. SounderBruce 08:48, 30 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Consensus is to use the host country's variety of English; in this case, American and Canadian English both use "soccer". SounderBruce 08:19, 1 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

If I might add something: Ian 1975, you falsely accused me of vandalism because you didn’t like my reverting your edit. You need to stop doing that. I can see from both your block log and further up on this very talk page that you’ve previously been blocked for exactly that same sort of conduct. Disagreement with your edit doesn’t mean you automatically win and that anyone else is vandalizing an article. If you sincerely disagree, take it to the article's talk page. I don’t know that it will help your cause in this case because the issue has been discussed in the past and WP:CONSENSUS was to use the word "soccer" when the World Cup is played in countries that call the sport by that name, but nothing's preventing you from reopening the issue. 1995hoo (talk) 15:53, 2 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
