Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! clpo13(talk) 22:35, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

July 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Clpo13. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Puerto Rico, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. clpo13(talk) 18:38, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Puerto Rico, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. clpo13(talk) 18:46, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Puerto Rico. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  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; 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. clpo13(talk) 19:01, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

One more revert without discussion and you will be blocked. --Golbez (talk) 19:32, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you.

No more deliberately misleading edit summaries please. --NeilN talk to me 20:18, 20 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Puerto Rico name edit

One last time: your changes are WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. None of the sources you've provided say anything about the official name of Puerto Rico. If you want to add a section about the UN Special Committee on Decolonization and petitioners discussing the island's status as a colony, that's fine, but changing the name is not. As an example, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is not actually democratic, but that doesn't mean we can go around changing the official name of political entities because we disagree with them. clpo13(talk) 19:16, 21 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
