Map detail

edit

Please make sure that the maps you add are more detailed than the ones they replace and make sense for the articles they are located in. Uyghurs overwhelmingly live in Xinjiang so it makes sense for a map of the Uyghur language to have a focus on Xinjiang. Listing every city outside of China with only a minute Uyghur (Tokyo?) population while making Xinjiang hard to spot on the map does not make any sense. The Dutch colonial empire map you made is also less detailed than the ones it replaced, at least when it comes to different types of colonial holdings, when they were colonized, and missing the color legend. A mono-color map with no differentiation between holdings is not superior. Qiushufang (talk) 17:55, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I understand your point, i thought only to select japan as a country where there's people that speak Uyghur, but i selected Tokyo because is the largest city by population and there's no information where Uyghur-speakers are in Japan, i would like you to explain why does not make sense. The Dutch Colonial Map is less detailed, i can recognize your argument, but i made it to be more simple, and some of my "Colonials Empires" maps are detailed in many details. I couldn't find all the colonies of the Dutch Empire (Most of them Trading Post) and only added the colonies i could find, if you can give me the sources of all those trading post and colonies, i would love to read and remake my map. Also the Legend "Mono-color map" of the actual map dad you replaced of mine, i really found it needless because Dutch East India Company is obviously a part of the Dutch Empire and as i said, i wanted to make the map more simple for the people, also the Dutch East India Company has an own page. Also i putted the hard spot because of Urumqi, Yanqui Hui Autonomous County... Etc, by many sources Urumqi and the another zones has a great majority of Uyghur-speakers. I won't change the map of the Uyghur language because i see your discomfort with the map, and i would like to remake it for a future. But i will undo your changes in the Dutch stuff because the map i made have all the colonies/trading post that has page on Wikipedia and another sources of Internet, Is more simple and more understandable, more quality that can show where exactly were positioned the colony/tranding post, is needless to add that the colonies of South Africa, India, Indonesia, etc... Were controlled by Dutch East India Company, because the Dutch East India Company has already an own page on Wikipedia. Thanks for your message.

  Hello, I'm TylerBurden. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Finland, 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. TylerBurden (talk) 19:17, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi !!! Thank you for telling me that, i hope i fixed it with the citation you were talking about ! Thanks. Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 19:38, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
Yes, thank you for adding the citation, it looks like you accidentally removed the short description though, but it's fine I restored it. TylerBurden (talk) 19:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Gabriel Ziegler, I'm Dreamy Jazz. You'll likely not be pleased about this but I have removed some of your edits because they reveal too much personally identifiable information about you. We have a policy of protecting editors' safety by hiding such information if they share it. I'm really sorry about having to suppress your edits, and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add the information.

Unsourced additions

edit

Hi Gabriel, just wanted to let you know that I undid your addition of unsourced material at French colonial empire. If you can find a reliable source that supports this, please re-add your content, along with a citation to the source. See Help:Footnotes for how to do this. I noticed your change at Ünal Üstel as well, and would have undid that as well, but someone had already done so. You added a citation in that case (thank you for that!) but it was to a Facebook post, which is not permitted, because it is a self-published source and considered unreliable. Please read WP:Identifying reliable sources for more about this.

I see that quite a few of your contributions were reverted, and that you have been frequently making content additions and changes without providing a source. You are still very new here, and it's easier to establish good editing habits when you are new. So please get in the habit of always adding a citation to a reliable source that supports the content you are adding. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my Talk page, or you can ask any questions about editing Wikipedia at the Help desk. Cheers, Mathglot (talk) 07:12, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

How can i prove that France never controlled Guinea-Bissau? Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 13:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I've undone your edit at French colonial empire again, because you (again) did not provide any citations. Please do not revert again without doing so. As a new editor, it's *very important* that you understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, of which WP:Verifiability and neutral point of view are two of the most important. If you still don't understand, you can ask me below or on my Talk page, or if you want an independent assessment, please go to Wikipedia:Help desk and ask your question there. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:57, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I saw your message of 03:59, 23 September on my Talk page. I'll get back to you in a day or two about your questions. However, two things about where and how your messages are placed:
  • That was the third message you've written on my Talk page about one topic, but instead of threading the discussion properly, you've created three separate sections on my Talk page, one section for each comment. Please don't do that. When replying or adding new comments about a single topic, keep them in the same section. Please read WP:THREAD about how to reply to discussions on Talk pages.
  • Secondly: as the message at the top of my Talk page indicates, I prefer to keep discussions in one place, not fragmented between your page and mine. I'll move all of your comments from my page over here in a day or two, and then we can keep all the comments in one place, and continue discussing here, and where you'll be able to easily find it again, and refer to it when you wish to.
If you want to reply to this message before I get back to you about your other questions, please do so on *this* page, and please read WP:THREAD before replying. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 04:13, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm very sorry for that and i won't do it again. Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 04:15, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

An article you recently created, Erik Oxenstierna, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Klein-Venedig into History of Germany. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:40, 6 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Prussia

edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Prussia. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  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 and 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. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I have reverted an edit of yours on this article, and would like to remind you about WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the recommended next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss the dispute on the article talk page with other editors, but not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring, a disruptive activity which is not allowed. Discussion on the talk page is the only way we have of reaching consensus, which is central to resolving editing disputes in an amicable and collegial manner, which is why communicating your concerns to your fellow editors is essential. While the discussion is going on, the article generally should remain in the status quo ante until the consensus as to what to do is reached (see WP:STATUSQUO).
To help move things along, I have started a discussion on the article talk page about the disputed edit, which you will find here. Please take the opportunity to make your views known there. It is best not to restore the material you added until there is a consensus among the editors there to do so. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:11, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Relax, Edit War? Well i know what it is but, for 2 reverts? Well ok, I guess you're like that. Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 05:29, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi thanks for creating this article. When we translate or borrow from other language wikis it’s a requirement to acknowledge the source. The best way to do this is to include it in your first edit summary (e.g. “translated from de.wiki”) and there’s also a translation template you can add to the talk page. I’ve added it for you.

The article Embassy of Germany, Ankara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NBUILDING, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. This is best included in Germany–Turkey relations.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Minor edits

edit

Hi Gabriel, I've noticed that you've been marking your contributions as "minor edits," but though most of them are definitely not minor. "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; the page also contains examples of what are and are not minor edits. Tserton (talk) 21:55, 8 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thank you !!! Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 01:00, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hi again – I saw that you've continued to mark most of your contributions as minor edits. Please stop doing this. It might seem like a small thing, but the minor edit tag exists for a reason. From Help:Minor edit: Because editors may choose to ignore minor edits when reviewing recent changes, the distinction between major and minor edits is significant. Logged-in users can set their preferences not to display minor edits. The only things you should be marking as 'minor edits' are changes to the layout, correcting typos and reverting vandalism. Almost all of your contributions to date are not minor edits. --Tserton (talk) 09:42, 15 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
