Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

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!

  Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Conquistador. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 16:17, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604). This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You changed sourced text so that it misrepresented the source. Doug Weller talk 16:25, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

One further note - we don't use our own articles as sources. See WP:RS and WP:VERIFY. I've changed the page you pointed to as it was inaccurate. Doug Weller talk 16:30, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

You must not change or delete sourced text based on your own opinions

edit

That is what you seem to be doing. You apparently aren't even reading the source. The first source at Conquistador mentions Spanish, Portuguese and German conquistadors. You've been reverted twice for your major deletions. Please don't do this sort of thing again. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 16:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please don't edit logged out

edit

It's a really bad idea to do this as although I'm not suggesting it's your reason, some might see it as an attempt to prevent others knowing that you are. However, it's been pretty obvious. Doug Weller talk 11:45, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Spanish Empire map

edit

You have been asked repeatedly to discuss your concerns about the map at the talk page discussion, Talk:Spanish_Empire#RfC_about_the_infobox_Spanish_Empire_image. Please stop making your arguments in edit summaries and join the discussion. You have been adding maps that cannot be read, and your refusal to engage in discussion has become disruptive editing. Please take your concerns to the talk page discussion. Laszlo Panaflex (talk) 23:32, 19 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Favonian, you're behaving in a rather authoritarian way. All Patagonia was Spanish territory as you can see for example in this article: "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_colonization_of_the_Americas" Rectify and leave the absurdity and the banners.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Request reason:

I'm blocked from using more than one account, it's true, but it's mainly because Favonian has been constantly blocking me in an authoritarian way. The only thing I have tried to do has been to edit a map about the Spanish Empire and some lines of text about the Voyages of Christopher Columbus, and of course I have argued all of them, but instead of dialoguing he has limited himself to block me for editing. It's been after that I've needed to use to use another account. I have made a mistake? YES, but the root of the problem is the authoritarianism of the moderator, who does not allow someone to edit something that he does not like, despite arguing over it. I will not make the same mistake of using other accounts, but I hope it can be edited by arguing without being blocked at any time. JavierNF96 (talk) 08:17, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You appear to think it's okay to use more than one account if you think you want to use more than one account. That's not the case. The rest of your unblock request is irrelevant. See WP:NOTTHEM. You are welcome to make a new unblock request that talks only about your own inappropriate actions and does not try to blame other people. Yamla (talk) 12:24, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

No, I don't mean fill in your unblock reason inside my comment too! I've already fixed your unblock request, above, so you don't need to make another one now. I just showed you how to request unblock next time, should your current request be declined. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:35, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
For the reviewing admin

See WP:ANI#Disruptive editing by JavierNF96 for some background. The basic problem here is Javier's incessant edit-warring, which he escalated using socks. Favonian (talk) 09:13, 29 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Per Bbb23 below, the block on the IP was lifted. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:37, 7 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

(I've fixed the unblock request for you.) This account is not currently blocked, so please tell us what it says when you try to edit. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 23:56, 6 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

It says: "You are currently unable to edit Wikipedia." "This block has been set to expire: 16:51, 9 December 2017." And I have not made any movement with this account, or with others. -said Javier96NF-

Please don't remove reliably sourced text or add sources that don't meet WP:RS

edit

At Spanish Empire you removed text sourced to a Yale University Press book and added text sourced to someone on a website with no evidence of expertise. You used the same website at The empire on which the sun never sets plus what looks like a blog. You need to read WP:Verify and WP:RS. Doug Weller talk 19:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Just noticed that you removed the same text source to a university press book twice. Doug Weller talk 19:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  I noticed that you have posted comments in a language other than English. At the English-language Wikipedia, we try to use English for all comments. Posting all comments in English makes it easier for other editors to join the conversation and help you. If you cannot avoid using another language, then please provide a translation into English, if you can. If you cannot provide a translation, please go to the list of Wikipedias, look in the list for a Wikipedia that is in your language, and edit there instead of here. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 21:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. 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 Spanish Empire, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 11:55, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia, Wikiquote and an anonymous writer on a website are not reliable sources

edit

You need recognised historians, nothing else will suffice for the claim that the Spanish Empire was the first to be called the empire where the sun never sets, a claim that isn't even sourced in The empire on which the sun never sets which in fact suggests that it was used earlier. Doug Weller talk 11:57, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Source you used at Spanish Empire doesn't seem to back the text

edit

How does " (Patricio O'Moore (1840) "Recuerdos de mi tiempo en Epaña". Page 3-4: "Of his monarch it had been said with truth, since there are annals or historical memories, that in his empire the sun didnt set")" state that the phrase was first used to describe the Spanish Empire? In any case, even if it did, what we really need is modern academic sources. Doug Weller talk 17:43, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Doug Weller:

With all my respect, I think the work makes it quite clear.

"Of his monarch it had been said that since there are annals or historical memories, in his empire the sun did not set"

It is an expression that originated in Spain when the Empire came to have colonies in all the continents.

More evident can not express it. In the same way I am surprised that you do not know that the expression "El Imperio en el que nunca se pone el sol" is of Spanish origin, I thought it was something popularly known.If you look at the biography of Carlos V of Austria (Carlos I of Spain) or Philipe II's own you will see that they were the promoters of the expression. Then, in the 19th century, it was attributed to the United Kingdom and the United States.

Did you really think he was of British origin?

And I am surprised that now you demand from me current sources when before you only demanded reliable authors and not blog opinions.

Fray Francisco de Ugalde wasn't British. You haven't responded to what I asked, how does that show that the phrase was first used of the Spanish Empire? It seems likely, but we still need sources. My point was that even if the source did say that, and it doesn't seem to, if you can't find it in modern sources it fails WP:UNDUE. I'd expect it to be fairly easy to find. Doug Weller talk 18:51, 17 January 2018 (UTC)Reply


@Doug Weller: Fray Francisco de Ugalde was spaniard,its obvious that he is of spanish origin, because he was the one who said such an expression to Carlos I, and later his successor Felipe II was the one who popularized the expression.

There is no mention that another country had that expression before the Spanish Empire in the sixteenth century.

Only in the empire of the United Kingdom and the USA did they have it, but from the 19th and 20th centuries.

Perhaps, but we require sources meeting WP:RS saying that the Spanish Empire was the first. WP:VERIFIABILITY is basic policy, and no original research, another policy, means we can't interpret our sources. Doug Weller talk 17:14, 19 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

POV deletion at British Empire

edit

With no explanation you deleted the sourced statement that the British Empire, at the time when it was the largest empire in the world, was the greatest superpower at that time. All the while editing Spanish Empire to call it the foremost superpower of its time. This appears to be a violation of WP:NPOV and a form of nationalistic editing to promote one country above another. Doug Weller talk 12:55, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

This appears to be you, adding a self-published source. Why are you using two accounts? Doug Weller talk 13:15, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

You know perfectly well you aren't allowed to use multiple accounts. You've been warned about this before and you've been blocked for this before. As you have demonstrated you have no intention of following Wikipedia's policies, I have blocked you indefinitely. Your problems extend beyond violating WP:SOCK; this talk page is littered with concerns about your editing. --Yamla (talk) 13:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
