Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Lutheranism into Salvation in Christianity. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:29, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Please be more careful when reverting, fixing broken reverts is very difficult

Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Ultra-high-definition television. We appreciate this, but unfortunately your edit was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you.—J. M.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sola fide, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Italian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Council of Carthage edit manipulation by a catholic zealot

Hi, I write to you in inform you that a guy I was debating with was manipulating and removing your edits on this section:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:History/Councils_of_Carthage

Based on ideological agenda.

Can you check it out? WCyborg (talk) 11:56, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Worth noting that User:DeusImperator all along has never provided any solid evidences that there's any "mistranslation" of the Latin texts. Funny. - MainBody (talk) 05:02, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

August 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Councils_of_Carthage. 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. It appears the cited material has nothing to do with the section within the page you edited. Your edit constituted vandalism by removing primary source edit. I am issuing this as a caution as you might not be aware of this. Also, as a favour to you, a hint, the source you have used references a later council and not the one you are attempting to edit. You can find the primary source for that here http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/3816.htm I would suggest you read the primary source and edit the relevant entry. Good luck with your edits. DeusImperator (talk) 09:23, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Yawn.

I have several fundamental questions for you, on the Council of Carthage talkpage. - MainBody (talk) 02:16, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Councils_of_Carthage. This is the final warning being issued to you. Do not remove primary source references material. You may face sanctions should you persist. DeusImperator (talk) 22:33, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Save your breath, Userdeusimperator. No one's interested in your sophomoric statement, and you've long been exposed vandalising wikipedia and refusing to stick to the basic rules in Wikipedia Layout Manual. Learn to read.

Be reminded that you're still unable to identify what "primary sources" I have ever removed. All my edits are here for editors/administrators' review. Please feel free.

Have a nice day. - MainBody (talk) 06:10, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.

Yes, I fully notice that userdeusimperator has received eventually a warning issued by the arbitrating administrator(s). :) MainBody (talk)

Please be more careful in ticking the Minor edits tick box.

Help:Minor edit says that a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". You're modifying content and calling those edits minor. Doug Weller talk 09:46, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

ARBIPA sanctions alert

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 India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. 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.

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.

March 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Simla Convention; 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. Kautilya3 (talk) 01:50, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Tibetan sovereignty debate. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although 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. Kautilya3 (talk) 11:49, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi MainBody! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Simla Convention 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:Simla Convention, 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. Kautilya3 (talk) 11:23, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that your recent edit to Simla Convention did not have an edit summary. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.

The edit summary field looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary, and then click the "Save" button. Thanks! Kautilya3 (talk) 14:19, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Simla Convention 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; read about 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.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 10:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Daniel Case (talk) 18:43, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
