Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Atatürk's Reforms you included material from a webpage that is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:40, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 25

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Turkey–United States relations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican People's Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:24, 19 November 2019 (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 Arab–Israeli conflict. 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. 

In addition to the discretionary sanctions, editors to pages broadly related to this topic:
1. must be signed into an account and have at least 500 edits and 30 days tenure
2. are restricted to making no more than one revert per twenty-four (24) hours (subject to limited exceptions)

Please review this section for more information.

Reminder

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!Deb (talk) 16:20, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I see you're still not using edit summaries. Please try and remember to do this when you are making such big changes to the article. Deb (talk) 21:57, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I am concerned that you are still ignoring the guideline about edit summaries. Do you realise that this could be considered disruptive editing and that you could be blocked? Deb (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (2nd request)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Refugee into European migrant crisis. 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, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 12:01, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Unjust accusation of 'vandalism'

Hello BlueMadrigal. I only recently encountered, that you've characterized a serious and motivated edit of mine, on 13 June on page European migrant crisis, as "vandalism". This seems way out of line, to me. An edit that you disagree with is not automatically vandalism (in Wiki sense). I gave a thorough motivation by that edit. Ofcourse you may always disagree with any given motivation but that does not make the opposed/rejected edit vandalism. Unfortunately, you did not give much further motivation for your revert (except that the information I removed was sourced, but info being sourced is no guarantee that it is relevant to the article or relevant to a specific section in the article). I suppose, that unjustly accusing someone of vandalism can be considered either personal attack or uncivil behaviour in Wikipedia sense, or that for other reasons it is not allowed in Wikipedia. So I just ask and advise you, to stop with unjust 'vandalism'-incriminations, and ofcourse refrain (also) from other unacceptable behaviour (towards colleagues). --Corriebertus (talk) 09:43, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Your English

You said: "I'm still waiting for your line by line proof that my English is sub-par."

Okay, you asked for it.

1. "This is your first deletion of so called sub-par." This sentence is missing the object.
2. "Also you deleted whole section with the same dubious claim." In this sentence, the article is missing.
3. "Both of these are very informative, well sourced, highly related additions." I assume by "highly related", you mean to the subject of the article, in which case "relevant" would have been the correct word to use.
4. "The second one is about "return of refugees to their homes"." Very unclear - the second what?
5. "An administrator personally supported an article about migrant crisis without the section about how/when/why refugees can turn back to their homes." One hardly knows where to begin with this sentence - it's incomprehensible.
6. "The problem here is the editors (not so shadowy), who own the article." Punctuation is wrong.
7. "It is the deleting editors POV (though at the same time claim that it is my POV) when an editor deletes my additions with a claim that migrant crisis shouldn't include government policies that create the crisis in the first place." Another example of a sentence where the individual words mean something but the sentence makes no sense at all.
8. "That is the main reason it is in the poor shape." The phrase "in poor shape" doesn't require or ever use the definite article.
9. "This behavior became so outrageous that an administrator whose job is to help editors, deletes submissions." I can only guess at your meaning. Are you perhaps trying to say that it is outrageous for an administrator to delete submissions?
10. "There is also another editor one who openly claims that he did not check the source before deleting, because as the delete-or claims there was no reason look at the reference presented in discarding the addition." This makes absolutely no sense either.
11. "Like this is a personal form not an informative place which reflects facts produced by various informative sources." What do you mean by "a personal form"?
12. "I just don't want to argue (like a discussion form) including the virtues of "government policies" or "public opinions" in creating the "Migrant Crisis" to editors who want to keep this article only about the numbers of migrants." What do you mean by "a discussion form"? There is no such phrase in English. You can't say "I just don't want to argue ... including the virtues"; that's not English. Do you know what "virtues" means? Also, "the virtues of [x] in creating..." is not a possible phrase in English. "To" is the wrong preposition to use with the verb "argue".
13. "I'm also not interested why these editors want to keep an article in poor shape as it is." Highly ambiguous. Do you mean "why these editors want to keep an article" or are you suggesting that "these editors" want the article to be in poor shape?
14. "Sadly that also includes a group of Administrators." What does?
15. "I still personally don't know Deb's positive contribution (did created a section?, did improved a layout? did resolved a conflict?) to this article, since I began editing." There seems to be a noun missing from each of the three clauses inside the brackets. Also, "did" is not used with the past tense of the verb: i.e. you can say "X created" or "Did X create?" but not "Did X created?"
16. "I just know I'm told by Deb that I suck at this." This is the first sentence in the whole paragraph that makes sense in English. Deb (talk) 15:32, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Incomprehensible behaviour in European migrant crisis

Hi. Why are you undoing perfectly fine edits like: this one, or this one, or even this one? You should also not remove maintenance templates like the one I added here, and the empty section is a perfectly fine way to show that there is some work to do – but that section is needed if we want to keep consistency on that article. So please stop. --Ritchie92 (talk) 12:32, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I know you don't like being told that your English isn't good enough, but it isn't. Please feel free to carry on contributing to the Talk page and suggesting improvements. However, if you persist in making bad edits and undoing good ones, without first discussing and getting consensus, I will have to put in a request for a topic ban, i.e. you will not be able to edit this article at all. At the moment you are being let off with a warning because we accept that your intentions are good. Deb (talk) 12:46, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
