Hi JovanAndreano, and thank you for your feedback. You appear to have succesfully edited several articles already, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Are your edits not showing up after you've saved the page? This may be because you need to purge your cache, or it may be that another editor has reverted your edits, in which case it will be shown in the Edit history. If you have a specific problem, you can always ask at my talkpage or at the helpdesk.

Source request
editHi there. Regarding the Masuna article you created, it seems quite obscure! As such, I had trouble tracking down any sources to back it up. I was wondering how you know this information? Do you have any sources for it? Regards Basalisk inspect damage⁄berate 10:49, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Berber Revolt with this edit, did not appear to be constructive, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Geoff Who, me? 01:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Estevanico with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 06:46, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Lixus (ancient city) with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 (talk) 06:47, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. The next time you vandalize a page, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Omar-Toons (talk) 15:50, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
- Omar, it's not vandalism, though it is edit warring. I think we have a new editor here who has yet to learn how Wikipedia works. — kwami (talk) 20:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

editHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Dru of Id (talk) 03:54, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Sources
editHi,
I'm glad to see that you're starting to use sources. That's exactly what we need. I was prepared to revert one of your edits, but I didn't because I was convinced by the source you used.
However, in this edit you use Wikipedia as a source. We can't use one WP (Wikipedia) article as a source for another, even if it's been printed as a book like this one has.
As for your campaign to convert "Berber" to "Amazigh", that's a matter of WP:COMMONNAME, and should be discussed in a centralized location. If we agree with you, people will help you make the change. However, you need to demonstrate that it's the appropriate name in English, and AFAICT, "Berber" is the name by which the vast majority of English speakers know these people. Few people would recognize the name "Amazigh".

PS. The welcome message at the top of this page links to several explanations of our policies. I know it's annoying to read all that stuff, but knowing how Wikipedia works will help you be successful in your edits.
I see you had a good experience with Yunshui above. He's good with new editors, so you might want to ask him his advice when you have problems with false claims or with other editors. — kwami (talk) 20:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
The article Msemen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- non notable pancake.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 22:18, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
The article Beghrir has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Pancake articles
editHi Jovan, I was wondering if you had any sources that could help to establish notability for the Beghrir article you recently created. Also, it would help if you had some for Msemen that are not just from cookbooks that give the recipe. They don't have to be in English, but any sources will help.

Disambiguation link notification for July 20
editHi. When you recently edited Beghrir, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berber (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for October 24
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Volubilis, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Berber and Baqa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion
editHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we request your participation in the discussion to help find a resolution. The thread is "Talk:Berber people".

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

You must not loosen or remove this block, or issue an IP block exemption, without consulting with a checkuser or the Arbitration Committee.
