Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Uness232 (talk) 14:40, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Adding flags?

Old!!man1234561234 (talk) 16:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Adding flags in a way contrary to MOS:INFOBOXFLAGS for one, but more importantly, reverting someone who has reverted your edit, contrary to WP:BRD. Uness232 (talk) 16:36, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I get it very much now. Thank you very much. I looked at it and I won't do it OK? And, you said "primarily, the Ottoman Empire." So, "secondarily"??? Old!!man1234561234 (talk) 9:26, 15 October 2021 (IST)

January 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Longevity myths, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. -- Pingumeister^(talk) 13:49, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

February 2022

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Maratha Empire, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Kiran_891 ^(TALK) 12:47, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to point out that, while "Maratha" as a caste exists, its existence does not imply that "Maratha" as an ethnolinguistic denomination has fallen out of use and/or isn't one anymore, and as per your comment, will now seek a consensus on the talk page.

Hello, I'm CFA. An edit that you recently made seemed to be generated using a large language model (an "AI chatbot" or other application using such technology). Text produced by these applications can be unsuitable for an encyclopedia, and output must be carefully checked. Your edit may have been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

(To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. czar 21:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

@Czar Yes Sir, thank you for the Notice. But, I wanted to use as Reference material and I think I will not use it fully . I have realize that wherever a fact from it appear, I can cite the web site. so copied it. I didn't want to add it as part of the article. Sorry Sir SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 09:23, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

@Czar sir, i have a question. you happen to be partolling around my recent drafts on communism and do you have any tips to improve? especially Draft:Communism in Brazil. SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 12:28, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

When you copy a block of text to Wikipedia, even if it's for reference and to be deleted later, it's permanently included in the page's revision history and would need to be deleted in order to avoid a claim of copyright violation. The links I linked above explain this in greater detail. Everything on Wikipedia needs to be paraphrased in your own words, not copied from other sources (except in rare cases).

My advice is to hew close to what reliable, secondary sources say, i.e., peer reviewed history and academic papers, not primary sources from the political parties themselves. I've copy-edited Anarchism in Brazil in the past, which is a good comparison. (I'm more involved with the anarchism project.) Put your contributions in your own words and do not translate/copy verbatim from sources. When you do quote, make sure it is brief and in quotation marks and attributed.

Unrelated but also note per our signatures policy to not use images such as your radiation warning symbol but emojis are okay. You also don't need to address me or anyone else by the honorific "sir". :) czar 13:20, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Everything on Wikipedia needs to be paraphrased in your own words"

1) I realized that and i just kept it there for reference to avoid switching between pages and thanks for the explanation

2) In the article Draft:Communism in Greece i have included a number of sources (in the lead alone) that are directly from the parties websites themselves to show that they promote "revolutionary socialist" or "anti-capitalism". Most of these parties are so small that i can barely find any tertiary sources or secondary sources for that matter. For that purpose, i have used a secondary sources for all of Antarsiya as a whole.

3) Yes i knew that a few days ago and wanted to replace with emoji of the same. thank you SCR@TCH!NGH3@D (talk) 13:32, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

If the parties are too small to warrant reliable, secondary source coverage, they usually do not warrant mention in Wikipedia. czar 20:06, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
