Copyright/uncited review

Some information in the Carthaginian navy was added by an editor subject to a review for copyright concerns. Although I was unable to find a copied source, I note two of the paragraphs were unreferenced, and had citation needed templates. I support the use of cite needed templates rather than immediate removal, but it has been seven years. Given that we can remove uncited material for that reason alone, I am removing the two cited paragraphs, and leaving the one paragraph with a reference.--S Philbrick (Talk) 12:56, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced content

@OgamD218: Please don’t add unsourced information to wikipedia articles, review WP:BURDEN if you have any questions. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 08:27, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re talk topic created to cover Malicious Editing by @Horse Eye's Back:

@Horse Eye's Back: please do not vandalize this page just to overcompensate for being unable to defend your accusations against other editors. Your inability to explain yourself should not motivate you to go through drive by and carelessly editing pages such as this just because I contributed here. You clearly had no intention of positively contributing to this article, your reverted my edit for being unsourced only to immediately to tag cn on the restored content and then went on a drive by cn template adding to cover your tracks. In multiple instances you added cn for material that was cited. Please see WP:POINT for more.OgamD218 (talk) 11:46, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@OgamD218: what vandalism? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also thank you for sourcing your unsourced addition after I forced you to! I’m sure you would have done the right thing on your own. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:02, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Horse Eye's Back: You in multiple instances asked for cn on material that was cited. You removed material with nothing but malicious intent and made no effort to improve the article. This article was new and I was already working on it-you did after all only happen upon this page by creeping through my edits to vandalize something.OgamD218 (talk) 17:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at your recent edits to see if you had added unsourced content to multiple pages, you had. Thats not an issue per WP:HOUND and in fact is encouraged (e.g. "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles."). Please do not continue to make unsourced additions to wikipedia pages also do not remove tags without addressing the underlying concerns, if you do that again you’re gonna wind up at ANI. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:34, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

you looked at my recent edits in a desperate attempt to deflect from being unable to defend your false claim of vandalism elsewhere. You settled on this page, ranked as a starter page since it still needs a lot of work,(a process you're unfamiliar with given all you do is get into talk sec fights and leave thousands of drive by cn tags) and began vandalizing content, puting cn whether it was valid or not. You're more than welcome to take this up with ANI lol OgamD218 (talk) 04:39, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are you being serious? I have well over 100 mainspace page creations, you have zero. When you want to do some real editing and create your first article I’d be happy to hold your hand. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 16:57, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jokes aside I am actually serious about that, you have potential. I’d love to see you creating new articles and if you need pointers in the future I’m just a ping away. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:12, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
