Welcome to Wikipedia, Macarius Ibne Mito! I'm Mujinga, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Hi Macarius Ibne Mito! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Attacks on schools during the Israeli invasion of Gaza that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk me) 09:53, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

@Speederzzz Sorry, I will change the edit summary next time if i edit. Macarius Ibne Mito (talk) 10:34, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, 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:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.

Only cite reliable sources

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the article Bangladesh genocide. However, please do not cite sources such as modern day newspaper editorials, opinion pieces, or commentary for matters of historical fact. Such a source is reliable only for documenting the opinion of the writer (such as a reviewer's feeling about a film).

Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (history) describes the best sort of sources to use in articles about history, generally scholarly works written by historians or academics in allied fields. Other sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on biased narratives and personal opinions.

If you require further assistance, please look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources, or ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:35, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Clean

Could you please clean North South University, BAF Shaheen College Dhaka and Daffodil International University. 37.111.207.77 (talk) 18:01, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring

Stop editwarring on Battle of Bint Jbeil. The last 12 edits to the page have been you and מתיאל making the same trivial revert of each other. Take content issues to the talk page. Also, this edit summary is unacceptable. Longhornsg (talk) 19:53, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Inappropriate edit summaries

Edit summaries like this and this are not constructive. Calling sources deprecated because you disagree with them and throwing around Zionist is not constructive. Also calling Zionists terrorists on your userpage is WP:POLEMIC, so I removed that. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:30, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

May I add that the current statements on this editor's talkpage, calling to "remove Pro-Zionist statements on Wikipedia, The Pro-Zionist or Pro-Western editing lowers the credibility of Wikipedia and makes it less reliable", raise possible issues of WP:NOTHERE, WP:RGW and contribute to the growing battleground behavior we see in this topic area. 916crdshn (talk) 17:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi, I noticed you removed a helpful link without explanation in this edit on World War II.

Checking your edit history, I see that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. For me, it would have sped up the process of finding the edit where the change occurred, as well as understanding any reasoning behind it.

Even a short summary is better than no summary, and they're particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may want to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your editing preferences.

Thanks! — W.andrea (talk) 22:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Wikilinks and edit summaries

I noticed that you have been making changes to wikilinks which were complying with WP:MOS before your changes. You have then used types of style that are not recommended with no description of your actions in the edit summary. Please have a look at the guidance on MOS:PIPESTYLE which explains how to treat plurals and other derived names. I see that other editors have already commented about you using no edit summaries (or inappropriate phrases) on your talk page and have given you feedback on actions that you should take.
