Speedy deletion nomination of Cândido da Fonseca Galvão
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Cândido da Fonseca Galvão requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pedro II of Brazil. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- 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. Laser brain (talk) 16:44, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

National varieties of English
[edit] Hello. In a recent edit to the page Louis XIV of France, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 09:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Disputed tag and disruptive editing over at 'Racial views of Winston Churchill'
[edit]Hi - you may have noticed that I've removed the disputed tag you added to the article Racial views of Winston Churchill, and have reverted your previous edits to the article removing a large section of the article's content.
Since you haven't added an adjoining discussion to the article's Talk page, I've reverted your edit restoring the Disputed tag, as there are no details for other editors to work from actually explaining exactly what about the article is disputable. Unless you can give a meaningful and well-explained reason as to why the tag should be a part of the article, it will be removed should you add it again.
Your edits - removing large sections of the article's content - have also been reverted. Please do not edit disruptively again. Thank you --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 19:10, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
June 2020
[edit] You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Racial views of Winston Churchill. You will have to stop whitewashing this article--the edit history clearly shows you are not afraid to edit war over it, but butchering the lead in your argumentative "contextualizing" of the subject matter proves you put argument over content.

Speedy deletion nomination of Racial views of Karl Marx
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Racial views of Karl Marx requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://dare.uva.nl/personal/pure/en/publications/marx-and-engelss-theory-of-history-making-sense-of-the-race-factor(f0ccb30e-543b-4e8e-ac5e-9e90baa1d0f7).html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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. Schazjmd (talk) 20:08, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Racial views of Karl Marx is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Racial views of Karl Marx until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Yefim Dreitzer moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Yefim Dreitzer, does not have enough sources and citations 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. While he appears to be notable as per WP:NSOLDIER, articles need reliable sources, which geni.com is not. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:43, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

[edit]From the Elliot Page Talk discussion
[edit]Ali was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky
; Ali was first directed toward boxing by Louisville police officer and boxing coach Joe E. Martin,[43] who encountered the 12-year-old fuming over a thief's having taken his bicycle
; Ali grew up amid racial segregation
. There simply isn't any rule followed in that article that would require use of the name in the text that he used at the time. Newimpartial (talk) 02:54, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Ok, so we basically can use any name at any time?
- In the case of non-trans people, the explicit rule (MOS:COMMONNAME) is officially just about article titles, so the COMMONNAME can presumably be used at any time but other names can (not must) be used where contextually appropriate.
- In the case of Trans people, names - not pronouns, which are covered by MOS:GENDERID - are subject to three rules so far, by community consensus:
- 1) if a deadname wasn't used (voluntarily) by a BLP subject during the period when they are notable, we don't include it at all;
- 2) if a deadname was used by a BLP subject during their period of notability, we should include it at least once in their bio article;
- 3)
don't be a dick
. - Those three rules are recorded in and around MOS:DEADNAME, and a current RfC (spun out of the Elliot Cage page, but general in scope) may produce more specific guidance about the use of deadnames in articles other than the main bio article (such as Page's films).
- The repeatedly-expressed consensus of WP editors is that trans issues are different from other name changes, so additional rules are required. Newimpartial (talk) 04:14, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
1. Don't be authoritarian. 2.I don't see why the sensibilities and issues of famous transgender people should be considered morally superior than the issues of other famous people. 3. Freddy Mercury was bothered by the public exposition of his HIV status, should we delete that information? Bobby Fischer would certainly prefer if we didn't talk about his Jewish origins, should we not talk about it?
- These are entirely non-sequitur issues. (1) I don't have any (individual) power here, and (2) you are simply disagreeing with a very strong consensus of WP editors, repeatedly expressed. I'm not sure there is anything more I can tell you. Newimpartial (talk) 04:39, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
The current debate showed clearly there is no consensus. The voting revealed editors have many different views.
- I'm not confident that you understand WP:CONSENSUS. Frankly, you might be more comfortable in some other collaborative project. Newimpartial (talk) 04:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Dorothy Kuya 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 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.

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. Rsk6400 (talk) 18:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- @Rsk6400: Please stop trying to intimidate users into accepting your personal POV or preferences. Either participate in the discussion @Talk:Mulatto or leave the article (and this user) alone. If you continue to refuse to participate in the discussion constructively while edit-warring and continuing to spam personal pages like this one with threats or it will be you who will be reported for disruptive editing.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Pretendian. 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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Your recent editing history at Pretendian 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. oncamera (talk page) 06:08, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

See WP:See also: "One purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics; however, articles linked should be related to the topic of the article or be in the same defining category."
Tangentially. Not identical. Anything tangentially related that may be of interest to those reading up on the topic. Editors in good standing discussed this with you on user talk and feel that the link is related to the topic, so you do not have consensus to once again edit war to remove it. I don't know why you are so obsessed with this link that you are willing to risk losing your ability to edit the 'pedia for this. - CorbieVreccan ☊ ☼ 17:43, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

[edit] Hello! I'm Peaceray. Your recent edit(s) to the page Dominant minority appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been reverted for now. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. 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. Your edit runs counter to the information in the citations. Time.com writes
Around 56% of Brazilians identify as Black—the largest population of African descent outside of Africa
. A Brazilian source, Folha de S.Paulo, wrote blacks and browns, who represent 56% of the Brazilian population
. Please explain why your opinion outweighs these sources, & what sources you are using. Peaceray (talk) 23:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- I would also advise that you read the verifiability, not truth essay, which states in a nut graph:
Editors may not add content solely because they believe it is true, nor delete content they believe to be untrue, unless they have verified beforehand with a reliable source.
