September 2020 edit

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.

This is happening on multiple articles. Train of Knowledge (Talk) 01:34, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Could you provide an explanation why you removed my edits. It would be great to know to be able to keep improving Wikipedia. --Jcarlosmartins (talk) 09:24, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Please do not rush with creating new programming-related categories, discuss them first at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing. Materialscientist (talk) 09:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
I started the discussion as you suggested. Thanks!--Jcarlosmartins (talk) 09:43, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
You need to wait for that discussion to demonstrate a consensus for your changes first. Don't start a discussion and them resume edit warring. - MrOllie (talk) 12:39, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
OK, I will wait a few days.--Jcarlosmartins (talk) 12:40, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Memory-safe programming languages edit

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Memory-safe programming languages requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — JJMC89(T·C) 00:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
