December 2018

Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Susa, 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. Nothing in the article suggests that Susa has been settled for 9000 years, or that it is one of the oldest cities in the world. Such claims need to be discussed in the article before being added to the lead, and must have reliable sources (archaeological in this case) explicitly backing the text.

One Thousand and One Nights

Take your concerns to Talk:One Thousand and One Nights and discuss them there. Your edits are reverted, so you're the person who should discuss them on talk page and wait for other users' comments. --Wario-Man (talk) 08:35, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

You - as you very well know - are the disruptive editor here. Stop it, please - we all have better things to do with our time! --Soundofmusicals (talk) 21:06, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2019

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on One Thousand and One Nights; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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:

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 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. Wario-Man (talk) 22:02, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
