Reference errors on 28 June

Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Warner Bros. Animation page, your edit caused a broken reference name (help). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:22, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Phonemic voiced uvular stop in Arabic

Can you please find a source for that? I'm tired of reverting your edits. I have never heard of phonemic /ɢ/ in any variety of Arabic. Peter238 (talk) 15:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Uh, I didn't said that it was phonemic. I said that it was ALLOPHONIC. The Spartan 003 (talk) 12:26, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

You said both and was constantly changing your mind ([1], [2]). Peter238 (talk) 14:07, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Berber Arabic alphabet

May I ask you what are you doing? First you revert my edit without any reason, and then you remove one of the sources. The irony is... the other source also doesn't support your claims. You can't just edit sourced sentences like that. The burden of finding WP:Reliable sources before editing the article (especially when they have to replace other reliable sources) is on you, not on me or anybody else. Also, please read Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. Peter238 (talk) 12:23, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

I've just reported you

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Peter238 (talk) 12:51, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for abuse of editing privileges. 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

This is related to your continued removal of sourced content and addition of material that's at variance with the sources. For one thing, changing cited material so that it disagrees with the citation produces an outright hoax: when we present content with a citation, we're saying "This is what the citation says", and when it's not, the result is a hoax. Everything that we add to a Wikipedia article has to come from reliable published sources; your edits make it look like you're working from your own experience, and because our articles must come from published sources, writing from your own experience (what we call "original research") isn't permitted. Finally, you absolutely must be willing to engage with other editors. Use article talk pages to discuss articles with others editing them, and when people leave notes at your talk page asking for your reason for doing something, you need to respond. It doesn't particularly matter whether you respond at their talk pages or at this one; the point is that you just need to collaborate with others. Nyttend (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

PS, if you're simply unsure how to write a message on a talk page, go to this link and write out your question in the big box. I'll get your question and happily respond. Nyttend (talk) 14:33, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

One more case of altering sourced sentences (see [3]), and I'm reporting you again. Peter238 (talk) 15:13, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Arabic script, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Algerian. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:47, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

File:Open back unrounded vowel.ogg

I'm not sure whether it is your recording of this, but I've queried it at File talk:Open back unrounded vowel.ogg. Should we have long and short versions? Dbfirs 21:48, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

You've been reported again

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. (update: I had to re-report as nobody responded to that, and the archiving bot kept archiving the old case.) Peter238 (talk) 07:21, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one week for persistent disruptive editing. 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 first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Deor (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Please read the comments by Nyttend above, regarding your previous block. If you alter sourced information in an article in a way that is not supported by the cited source, you must cite a different source that supports your edit. Please stop altering the content of articles in ways that seem to constitute original research. Deor (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

...and again

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Peter238 (talk) 14:48, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

The Spartan 003, this is the third time there has been a complaint filed against your at WP:ANI. I encourage you to come to this noticeboard to discuss the edits under dispute in case you have an explanation for them. Otherwise, you could be facing an additional block from editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:07, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

@Liz: It doesn't look like he's interested in doing that (as always). Since receiving my message, he's made 14 edits to English Wikipedia and one to Commons (see [4]). Peter238 (talk) 12:58, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Changes that do not match a cited source

Hi. In edits like this, you alter text that has an attached citation, so that it no longer matches what the source says. Please don't do that. You need to find a reliable source that supports your text. Kanguole 02:33, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

April 2016

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Algeria , but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Qāriʾ

Hello. I have removed the names of Qāriʾ that you added to the list because they need to have Wikipedia articles of their own before they can go on the list. If you have information on the people you added you could start an article on each of them first. Thank you. Poltair (talk) 11:50, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello. Some of your recent genre changes, such as the one you made to Love in This Club, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 12:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
