Citing wikia

Please note that Wikia is not a reliable source. It is not suitable for citation in Misplaced Pages articles, although you may be able to find reliable sources through Wikia if the editors there have included citations to such sources. ~ Rob 11:05, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you ! Rolandi+ (talk) 11:08, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

No worries! You've gotten some flack lately from editors who have noticed some disruptive behaviors, but it seems you've been acting in good faith. I'd recommend slowing down a bit. Misplaced Pages is theoretically going to remain around forever, so waiting a day or two and getting comments on an article's talk page prior to editing doesn't make any difference in the grand scheme of things, and can help avoid most common mistakes. If you have any questions regarding editing, I'd recommend referring to the links at the top of your talk page that another user left for you, going to the Teahouse (a friendly place for new editors to ask questions), or responding here and I'll see if I'm able to help. While you should certainly take the things that other editors have told you on your talk page to heart, don't let it worry you too much. I was new not too long ago as well, and everyone can learn how to edit constructively with a little effort. ~ Rob 11:21, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you again!At the moment I don't have any question ,but maybe I will need some help in the future.....so thank you again! Rolandi+ (talk) 15:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Yamaguchi先生. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Heikegani, 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.

Hi, I was actually editing so I thought to add the references after I finished my edits.My reference here is . Rolandi+ (talk) 19:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Source misinterpretation

Hi,

With this edit (diff) you inserted the quote:

• "Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians."

The source says:

• "Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors of the modern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians." - Fine, John Van Antwerp (1991). The Early Medieval Balkans: A Critical Survey from the Sixth to the Late Twelfth Century. University of Michigan Press. p. 10. ISBN 0-472-08149-7.

Furthermore the author explains that this traditional view is today challenged and explains that there are valid linguistic arguments "serious, nonchauvinistic" that Albanians came to Balkans from what is now Romania because it was also affected by large-scale invasion of Goths and Slavs in 4th-6th century.

It is obvious that author does not say that he or scholars today support Albanian-Illyrian hipotesis. On the contrary, he explains that it has been misused in Albanian nationalistic myth building with expansionistic purposes.

Please urgently revert your edit based on blatant misinterpretation of the source.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:23, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Antidiskriminator,I didn't add that source refering to Illyrians (This isn't an Illyrian related article).I added it only refering to Dacian-Vlach relationship.(so the part containing "Illyrians" can be deleted).It says traditionally scholars have seen Dacians as the ancestors of modern Romanians and Vlachs (and Illyrians as the proto-Albanians).Then the source says that perhaps this is not correct.

These all means that the main theory (as it says traditionally) is that dacians are the ancestors of vlachs.Then it says PERHAPS it's not correct(it doesn't say it is not correct,but perhaps).This means that there are other theories (which also are included in the article).So I don't see any problem about my edits.However talk to me about any problem relating to this case.Rolandi+ (talk) 14:53, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Falsification of sources

I see that you have been told this ], but I will try to explain again: Your edit states that "Today scholars see Dacians as ancestors..." when the source says "Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors...", continuing to show that this view has been seriously challenged. Your statement is actually contradicted by the source. If you do not change this yourself, your edit will be seen as a sign that you are pushing your own point of view, and you will inevitably be blocked. --T*U (talk) 23:22, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Go,read what that part of article says and then come and talk to me.It says that "According to one of the origin theories Vlachs originated from latinized Dacians".This means that it is a theory and it's normal to be challenged.It is not a POV .However I will change the reference citation as it has been an error.Also there has been a discussion at the article's talk page.So instead of warning me about your imaginary possible blocks ,go and participate at the discussion. Rolandi+ (talk) 05:24, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Misplaced Pages. Alexikoua (talk) 12:28, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes, of course.And you will be reported if continue deleting my edits only because you don't like them.If you have anything to say about my edits,talk to me,don't vandalise Misplaced Pages. Rolandi+ (talk) 12:32, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

You are misusing sources again. Ktistakis clearly states that the Italian census figures are exaggerated. You are misusing him to inflate the number of Cham Albanians using Misplaced Pages's own voice. You have already been warned about this once. Not only that, but you are edit-warring over it. You are on very thin ice here, I suggest you stop. Athenean (talk) 17:08, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Athenean,my edits doesn't say that the figures are exaggerated or not.They are figures so they should be involved in.Also Ktistakis is a greek so it's normal for him to call those figures as exaggerated.Also the most unreliable figures are those of Greek government that might have tried to reduce the real number of Ch. Albanians.How can you believe the Greek government figures when it made genocide,killed and stole albanians?However the two figures should be included to make the article neutral.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Vasile Lupu. 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 Misplaced Pages'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. ~ Rob 13:56, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Sincerely thank you for your advices.Actually I wasn't edit warring as I deleted twice the edits of a vandal who calimed that Vasile Lupu is his ancestor.Rolandi+ (talk) 09:16, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Cham Albanians, you may be blocked from editing. Article talk pages are records of discussion on an issue. There are limited situations when material may be removed, and I don't see any evidence that your removal qualifies. —C.Fred (talk) 13:59, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

"it's not the first time you delete other editor's references.maybe you need to be reported. use the talk page when want to delete my references or you will be reported". Please do report me if you think that I'm deliberately "deleting references". You should first understand WP:MOS, and other wikipedia policies, before misjudging my edits. There is no need for a bare-refs in the introduction when the subject is undisputed. If it was disputed, and the article was prone to vandalism, a reference in the lead would be justified.--Zoupan 19:22, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Zoupan,it's not only about that case.You have a habit to delete other editors' references.When you think any of my references needs to me moved or removed talk to me ,then after discussion delete it if needed.Rolandi+ (talk) 19:25, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Vlachs. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:09, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

You are vandalising Misplaced Pages and maybe I need to report you the next time.Go and see what the reference say and then make your disruptive edits. Rolandi+ (talk) 09:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
