Please do not add or change content, as you did at Orders of magnitude (power), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. If reinstating material about the 2004 Indian ocean earthquake, please be sure to cite a source on the power output, as otherwise the added content is considered original research. Ionmars10 ( talk) 03:31, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
I wouldn't exactly call it original research, it's stated that the time in which the quake lasted was 10 minutes, and in order to calculate watts you divide watt-hours by time. Reaper1945 ( talk) 03:41, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
Also, excuse any mistakes I make or delay in response, I'm getting use to some of the processes on here. Reaper1945 ( talk) 03:43, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

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 the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. 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.
Mathsci ( talk) 04:18, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
This is your second warning within an hour for the same behavior on the same page. (I see that you've just deleted our notices.) After being warned by NightHeron, you went and continued edit warring over the same content. If you continue with this behavior I will not warn you again before proceeding to ANE. Generalrelative ( talk) 04:19, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on School discipline; 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:
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.
Note that per
WP:ONUS The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.

Hi – I just undid this edit you made in Champions Chess Tour 2021. I believe the points were correct as previously stated. You can see the points awarded for the FTX Crypto Cup at 5:01:30 in the commentary stream with Leko and Sachdev. (Wikipedia doesn't let me post the YouTube link here, but you can find it under "day 2 finals ftx crypto".) If you disagree, please explain why (here or on the talk page). Joriki ( talk) 19:57, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
Looked at the point system, yours is most likely the correct version, looked at the point table from Chess24.com, they had it as 88 for Carlsen, 56 for So, but later corrected it to the version put in currently. Was a mistake. ---- Reaper1945 ( talk) 20:10, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
You haven't even provided an edit summary here (something which you should definitively do when you revert a good-faith edit). Please then take the opportunity here to explain why you think the material you re-instated should be included: as I said, it's an obvious example of WP:NOTDATABASE. RandomCanadian ( talk / contribs) 05:06, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
First off, don't use my talk page to harass or complain, there's a thousand other places. Second off, every fighter, whether MMA or boxing has their fights and results listed near the bottom of their pages, don't know why you randomly targeted Whittaker's page for really no reason when it has already been established.

Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, List of current UFC fighters, 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. You can have a look at referencing for beginners.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to Erling Haaland, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. TylerBurden ( talk) 02:13, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Erling Haaland, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mattythewhite ( talk) 16:38, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions were not quite right. When updating statistics within the infobox of a footballer, please make sure you update the timestamp at the same time, so that both readers and fellow editors know when the information was last updated.
You can do this by replacing the existing timestamp within the |club-update=
or |pcupdate=
parameter for club stats, or the |nationalteam-update=
or |ntupdate=
parameter for international stats. For articles that use a DMY
date format, use five tildes (~~~~~), or for MDY dates, use {{subst:
mdytime}}. This will generate the specific time the update was made.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you, Mattythewhite ( talk) 15:33, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Erling Haaland, you may be blocked from editing. Several prior warnings for unsourced content, please start using references for your edits. TylerBurden ( talk) 07:50, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia, without citing a reliable source.

If you are going to restore absurd material like this [ [1]] in which the victorious side is supposed to have had 500% more tank losses, then at least provide a RS. The citation you added has a URL which includes nationalinterest.org/blog. If you are familiar with Wiki, you should know blogs are not considered to be RS. This blog author does not even know that Germany was fighting the Soviet Union and not Russia when he writes "Germany had a choice: wait to be hammered by another offensive from the Russian steamroller".
There are a ton of books by Western authors which have ridiculous Soviet casualty figures, you may be able to find one which says 1:6. JS ( talk) 19:14, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Gareth Bale, you may be blocked from editing. Seasider53 ( talk) 06:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
Also:
Your recent editing history 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.

Hello- Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:
Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 22:50, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
I think you have some wrong in Battle of Stalingrad. Walsh's numbers including 494,374 German’s allied casualties, and 400,000 German casualties. Thus, total number is 894,374, not 794,374 123.18.99.55 ( talk) 04:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Please read the policy on undue weight, which is that not all sources and theories are equal. Some sources have higher levels of journalistic integrity and fact checking than others, and sources such as Associated Press and Reuters are gold standards. We have literally hundreds of articles on one side, versus a single one from a Russian source. Until the high quality sources take this theory seriously, it is simply undue to include it. Our loyalty are to our readers to give them the best information possible, not to include all possible theories and viewpoints, irrespective of the quality of said theories.
For Russian sources specifically, the country lacks a fully free press. They are ranked 164 on the World Press Freedom Index and the deterioration of the free press in Russia is well documented. Russian sources should not be cited in a proper encyclopedia article as of now. Furthermore, Ukrainian press should not be cited either. Harizotoh9 ( talk) 03:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
You have recently edited a page related to the Balkans or Eastern Europe, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

When adding citations, please adhere to the format used on the rest of the page, as otherwise, it creates unnecessary work for other editors. When a solid academic source has already been cited, it's often superfluous to add more citations. Better editorial time can be spent on articles in need of attention. For instance, there's not much value added/dropping citations in an article like Operations Barbarossa, which is thoroughly researched and appropriately cited. If new information shows up or you're adding a source for a contentious statement where academic consensus has not been established, it may make sense. Thanks and happy editing. Obenritter ( talk) 15:21, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Loli Bahia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page French. 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.)

Let me get this straight. Given your comment about 'bourda', you know full well that the use of dust suppression spray was widespread during the liquidation phase, yet you *still* removed the paragraph. That is textbook bad faith editing. Replace the source with a "Citation Needed" tag if you like, but do not remove information which you know to be true. I see that your talk page contains numerous warnings for engaging in edit warring behavior like this, so this is my last request to follow proper practices. I will certainly reach out to third parties for assistance if I needed to.
P.S., while 'bourda' is popular spelling, 'barda' (барда) is the original and correct term, as used by the scientists who developed its use in the Zone. Sredmash ( talk) 23:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I'm undeadmerc3. I noticed you editted the death toll on Japans war crimes from 10-30 million to exclusively 30 million. You mentioned that the 10-14 estimate is from a history forum however the source on the forum is Sterling Seagrave whom alongside his wife has written numerous books about Japans aggression. It's also worth mentioning that Sterling Seagrave is not the only historian whom has put the body count at at least 10 million. M.R.D Foot puts the estimate at 10-20 million with the latter estimate being cited by Herbert Blix and John Dower. As for the history forum that was cited it was an online interview with Sterling Seagrave himself. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=9196
I'd like to discuss reverting the death toll back as there are many folks on the discussion page of Japans war crimes discussion page whom have debated the numbers.
Undeadmerc3 — Preceding undated comment added 17:40, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
But they aren't random users. If you checked the source I provided above it's an interview with Sterling Seagrave himself. As for other estimates they are listed here. As for "Craig" who are you referring to? The only two sources I found are Mark Felton who despite being a respectable historian somehow didn't cite his source in his video and Bryan Mark Rigg whom has been under fire and criticized for his work as not being a historian. Make no mistake. I'm open to anything, but I typed Craig in the search bar on the page and all I got was some citation of a guy named "Craig Symonds," however the link was broken. It's acceptable to include 30 million, but there are so many perspectives on how many died citing them all is part of Wikipedia standards. 50-55 million civilians died during world war 2 and the 30 million estimate on Japans part needs to be put into perspective. It's fine to include the 30 million estimate, but the numbers are all over the place and part of Wikipedia policy involves citing many perspectives.
