You deleted material from this page with no explanation and from other edits of yours it may be that you deleted it because you think he was wrong, which isn't an acceptable reason. Further, you marked it as Minor, which should be reserved for spelling errors, formatting, etc. Dougweller (talk) 07:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Georgian alphabet, you may be blocked from editing. You can't simply blank huge sourced sections of texts because you disagree with it. Dougweller (talk) 21:36, 8 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Georgian alphabet shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

  In a 2007 arbitration case, administrators were given the power to impose discretionary sanctions on any user editing Balkans-related articles in a disruptive way. If you engage in further inappropriate behaviour in this area, you may be placed under sanctions including blocks, a revert limitation or an article/topic ban. Thank you.

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring, as you did at Georgian alphabet. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

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.  Toddst1 (talk) 00:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Repeated full article/large section blanking

edit

Your edit history seems to consist of few edits, many of them like this, and apparently concentrating on certain nations. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

When editing, you can not use WP:copy-paste text. Copying, and even copying with slight differences, is a WP:copyright violation. There are potential legal issues with this. If you are unable to reword text, I recommend you start a discussion to achieve good wording on the talk page. Regards, CMD (talk) 21:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please read Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Simply changing a few words is not enough. CMD (talk) 21:55, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
You need to take the above comment seriously. Your recent edit to the Georgian alphabet article violated this same requirement and had to be reverted (undone). If you persist in this sort of thing, you may need to be blocked from editing in order to preserve the integrity of Wikipedia. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 14:37, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Citing sources in edit summaries

edit

Hi. When citing your sources, please include the URL and other citation information as an inline footnote reference, using <ref> tags. Citing your source via a URL in an edit summary is not sufficient, because it is almost impossible for readers to find the source later on. Read WP:CITE for more on this. Thanks. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 14:40, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Again, you can not copy text from a source into an article. If you are unable to rewrite prose, make a note on the article talkpage noting the source and what you want to add and ask other editors for help. Regards, CMD (talk) 11:00, 17 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Bana cathedral may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ünye, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Sinope and Laz. 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.
