Sourcing edit

Make sure that you are sourcing what you add to Wikipedia articles, per WP:Verifiability and WP:Reliable sources. And do not add text beside a reference, as though the reference supports the text, unless you know that the reference supports the text. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 23:28, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Regarding this edit, I hope that you are sticking to what the source states and are not faking a source there or elsewhere on this site. If I come across that source and it doesn't support what you are adding to articles, I will yank your material and report you at WP:ANI. Also, when sources report differently, we include what both sources state, unless one report is more accepted in the literature; see WP:Neutral, and the WP:Due weight part of it. That is partly why I made this edit; the other reason is because you seem to have added unsourced material. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:49, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Fuller, 1864" is also obviously a very old source. If what you are adding is correct, then it should be easy to find such material supported in more recent WP:Reliable sources. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 18:51, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more articles into Assyria. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 03:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Assyrian cont edit

I understand your point about the lead and I think your view is very fair on such as sensitive topic. Assyrian continuity used to be far more prominent in scholarship but since then we've rejected primordialist nationalism and increasingly use critical modernist theories of nationalism, and the fact is that assyriologists now mostly do not support continuity, certainly not in the way phrased in the lead. Some Assyrian as well as Aramean and Persian descent is to be expected considering the history of the region, but so the anthropological thinking goes, it was impossible for them to continue to distinguish themselves from Chaldeans/Arameans after losing their language, names, and other identifying characteritics. I'm not "anti-assyrian" as you may accuse, (at least not anti-modern assyrian, the ancient assyrians were assholes, albeit talented ones) what bothers me is the deligitimization of chaldean/aramean voices. Christian Aramaic speakers in Hasaka Syria are called assyria when they don't identify as such, and its actually very unlikely they are assyrian considering west of the euphrates was aramean during the neo-assyrian period. I also hate the misuse of the syrian/assyrian confusion. --Monochrome_Monitor 08:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

I would like to add a comment here. You may not be anti-Assyrian, but you been on a witch-hunt for a while now. I understand that one might get tired, but you should not let that tranfer into hatred in any way. I think that what you wrote about shows that you do lack a lot of knowledge in some areas and this is a trigger in this hunt; I'm assuming that you are refering to Eastern Aramaic-speakers of Syria. Most of them arrived there after Seyfo, while originating from Tur Abdin-areas. And the claim that none would identify themselves as Assyrian is not correct either. Which Aramean organizations (among these Eastern Aramaic-speakers) exist in Syria? I can't name one, when there are some Assyrian (and them I'm not including the ones among the Assyrian of Nestorian faith in around the Khabour river). The "Aramean ideology" in its modern form was created in Europe in the 70's as a reaction to the Assyrian, mostly by persons affiliatd with the Syriac Orthodox Church, which saw itself losing control of its members due to the secural Assyrian movement. Mor Julius Hanna Aydin, the archbishop in Germany, who is considered to the one first leader among the Arameans in Germany, spoke about this in an interview not to long ago. I could find it if it would be in your interest. You do not seems to be a fan of Parpola, but his writings about the identity in the Neo-Assyrian empire is quite interesting, and that might give you some insight aroud the whole "it was then impossible to distingush then from Arameans/Chaldeans" thing. Now, regarding Assyrian continuty, I think that this comment is worth reading. Have a nice day. Shmayo (talk) 14:52, 9 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Actually many Assyrian Christians of Hassakeh DO identify as Assyrians, most of them in fact. Ahh, so you are an Arameanist, which explains your attacks.

Edit warring on Assyrian continuity edit

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. TimothyJosephWood 19:24, 1 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Edit war warning edit

 

Your recent editing history at Archaeogenetics of the Near East‎ shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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. See BRD for 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 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.

Request reason:

I have mainly been editing the Assyria page, which was in need of updating, and hopefully I did a good job. I referenced my edits, they were not challenged or criticized by anyone, I was not accused of Edit Warring or Vandalizm, and thus I would respectfully ask my block is removed. I cannot myself see that I have done anything wrong?

Accept reason:

As I cannot see any vandalism from this IP in the past week, and since the block has been queried by two other established administrators, I will conclude this is a clerical error and have unblocked. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:51, 10 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

I've requested an account as per the instructions above, think i've done it correctly. Dont have any other account, but brought this place from brother in law and his family last year, any issues attatched to this IP from them are not via me. I used to live in Runcorn, northern England and occasionally edit from there, but I didn't need an account then?

I have not been involved in any kind of vandalism, edit wars, arguing or posting anything unreferenced since I started editing, not had any warnings etc. So hopefully I can have an account, and i'd only edit in the same way I am already, hopefully intelligent, referenced and constructive stuff.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.25.101 (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

MJL, new user from when? They are editing Celtic Britons, Indo-European languages, Assyria, Assyrian continuity etc. and other same exact articles back in 2017 (and back to 2015) when I blocked. I don't find it plausible that his "brother-in-law" would be editing exactly the same articles. Please review their contribs going back and notice the continuity of article subjects. This is not a new user. Also see their block log and note that I wasn't yet a checkuser in July 2017 so I could name accounts. There was an admission by an account so I know that I didn't make a mistake then.

@Berean Hunter: Yeah, you are completely right. Those behavioral patterns are 1-to-1. I just looked at the SPI, old contributions, their style of edits, the whole thing. Previously this IP was getting in trouble for edit warring and adding unsourced material. The edits I had reviewed were more constructive than that. However, given the context of an editor who has had four years+ to learn (both how to contribute and how to block evade), this makes more sense. My apologies for getting this completely wrong. –MJLTalk 17:01, 12 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Berean Hunter: If this IP had a block, it was already removed by 7 July 2019. That being the case, if the block was removed, why was it suddenly reinstated, bearing in mind only good edits, no edit wars or vandalizm. Not totally sure what's occurring here? I've edited since this year, only or mainly on Mid east and Cornish type things, those being family heritage. I try and keep the written style in same type as what's been used before otherwise it looks off, everything referenced, or tbf, most of it. What I did do though was cut-paste some old versions and reword them very slightly, but didnt think that was wrong. I didnt need to change an IP adress as just kept the existing contract. Honestly, if I wanted to evade some block there are ways to change the IP Address, I didnt do that, its not difficult. Well, I dont know what else I can say, I could understand if my edits were bad or wrong or unreferrenced or if I was getting into spats with other people, but none of that is happening. There's zero I can do about being tied to my brother in law and his son who edited via this place. Tried to apply for a specific account, so there is no confusion or doubt = if that account is being unconstructive or disruptive then all know its me, and sure, block me if it comes to it.
