Hello, I'm MarkH21. I noticed that you recently removed content from Gqeberha without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. — MarkH₂₁^talk 19:56, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Gqeberha 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.
You have been reverted multiple times by different editors. Stop deleting referenced content without more explanation (see the verifiability policy) and use the talk page if necessary. — MarkH₂₁^talk 22:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi , I am a resident of Port Elizabeth. All information I added on the PE site is true. Dgv102 (talk) 07:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

That's not the point. You need to read these warnings and policies carefully. Wikipedia is not about what individual editors believe to be "the truth". — MarkH₂₁^talk 08:18, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

If you censor me I will report you to the USA House of Representative media committee. Dgv102 (talk) 09:16, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Any decision made by the USA House of Representative media committee would have no effect here, any report you make would be futile. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 21:41, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Please stop repeatedly putting in Port Elizabeth at that article. The article already notes its former name. nableezy - 22:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you censor me I will report you to the USA House of Representative media committee. Dgv102 (talk) 07:58, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi, if you censor me on wilipedia, I will then report you to the United States, House of Representatives Committee on Social media for freedom of expression censorship. Dgv102 (talk) 10:16, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

References to Freedom of Speech, or the First Amendment of the US Constitution, do not apply to Wikipedia as it is not a governmental institution nor is it a government funded organisation, it is a public charity to which the First Amendment doesn't have any effect. (see WP:FREESPEECH). So any report you were to make would be futile and a waste of your time. Wikipedia editors are free to prevent any editing behaviour which disrupts building an encyclopaedia. -- StarryNightSky11 ☎ 02:28, 20 February 2023 (UTC)

Warning: February 16, 2023

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Gqeberha, you may be blocked from editing. You need to STOP making edits against the consensus and Wikipedia style for this article. If you want changes in the article, describe them at Talk:Gqeberha and try to get consensus. But do not continue to edit war; that could result in a block for you. MelanieN (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  MelanieN (talk) 15:35, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Dormskirk. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jan Smuts, 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. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 10:17, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi Domskirk it is a fact the he was on both war cabinets of the United Kingdom. Read the book Churchill & Smuts Dgv102 (talk) 11:08, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Queenstown, South Africa, you may be blocked from editing. — MarkH₂₁^talk 03:25, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Toddy1. Wikipedia policy is that readers must be able to check that any of the information within Wikipedia articles is not just made up. This means all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources. Additionally, quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be supported by inline citations. For some unexplained reason, you deleted cited text from the article on King William's Town. This text explained that officialdom had adopted a stupid new name. This kind of thing happens all over the world. Deleting the text and the citations that back it is really unhelpful. POV-pushers do it because they want to make it look as though it has always been called by stupid new name. To be truthful, articles need to tell the reader when then this new name was imposed on the population. We need citations to reliable sources for these statements. Please do not remove them. And if you see people remove them, please revert and explain why.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:59, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Dgv102! I noticed that you recently marked this edit as minor at King William's Town even though it involved deleting a sentence with two citations. "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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. -- Toddy1 (talk) 21:08, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

Hi Dgv102! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor 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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. I notice you've been told about this issue before. Continuing to mark edits as minor when they are not is a type of Wikipedia:Disruptive editing for which editors can be sanctioned. DrKay (talk) 20:33, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at King William's Town, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Articles are meant to be based on what the sources actually say. If you want to change cited text, read the sources cited for statements in articles before you change them. Thank you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:41, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi I will report you to the American and South African authorities. My information provided is correct. Dgv102 (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

If your information is correct, you should have no difficulty finding reliable sources that explicitly support what you are saying. See WP:VERIFY -- Toddy1 (talk) 20:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at King William’s Town, you may be blocked from editing. -- Toddy1 (talk) 20:57, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

If you block me, I will report you to the United States Authorities. Please see link:

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Qonce. This is not a minor edit. Please do not mark any change in meaning or addition of content as minor. DrKay (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

I will report you to the United States authorities & South African authorities if you block me. The town is known by two names, one being Xhosa & the second being English. See link:

Very well, I have blocked you for persistent disruptive editing and your refusal to listen to advice given on this talk page. If you wish to be unblocked before the block expires you will need to demonstrate that you understand community norms and will change your behavior in the future, DrKay (talk) 21:09, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

So you censoring me? Dgv102 (talk) 07:54, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

The link you posted above does not support what you say it does. Haven't you read it? If you engage in disruptive behaviour, you get blocked. That rule applies equally to you, me, DrKay, and everyone else. If you want to edit Wikipedia, you need to accept the concept of verifiability. -- Toddy1 (talk) 08:12, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

edit warring and South African cities

Please stop edit-warring to restore what has already been discussed. Gqeberha is not "also" known as PE, it was formerly called PE, and now it is called Gqeberha. nableezy - 21:48, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi we do not call it Kakabertha… the City name is Port Elizabeth… the new DA mayor has change the name back to PE… Dgv102 (talk) 22:00, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

need sources for that. Because sources are calling it Gqeberha, eg [1] [2]. And thats when Im searching for Port Elizabeth. nableezy - 08:26, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi are you censoring me??? Dgv102 (talk) 18:00, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
