Welcome! edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, at 185.104.63.112, has made edits to Category:20th-century churchs in Hong Kong that do not conform to our policies and guidelines and therefore have been reverted. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you did not do this, you may wish to consider getting a username to avoid confusion with other editors. If you'd like to experiment with the syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

You don't have to log in to read or edit pages on Wikipedia, but creating an account is quick, free, requires no personal information, and has many benefits. Without a username, your IP address is used to identify you.

March 2024 edit

  Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Category:19th-century church buildings in Hong Kong, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Please don't add "redlinks" to categories. Please read through how categories work before you remove or add pages. Mason (talk) 20:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hi 185.104.63.112! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Category:19th-century church buildings in Hong Kong 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 Category talk:19th-century church buildings in Hong Kong, 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. Mason (talk) 21:09, 22 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
