Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 09:32, 5 September 2014

Welcome!

Hello, Zarpboer, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Transvaal Colony does not conform to Misplaced Pages's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Misplaced Pages articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

All my changes only related to facts. I have added references and will add more as I get time. I have taken note of neutral point of view. My edit to Transvaal Colony does conform as it is not a point of view, but facts...

Thank you for your comments though, maybe with my edits you are learning something you did not know? :)

Please recheck my citations and sources and please do not hesitate telling me if you consider any source to be anything other than accurate :)

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at South African Republic, you may be blocked from editing. Please back away from this article - your edits are very one-sided. Don't spoil the good work you've done at Transvaal Colony by skewing this article towards your personal opinion of "true history".

Last warning

You have already been warned several times in the last days for your disruptive editing. It must stop immediately. At Misplaced Pages, you are not allowed to insert your personal point of view WP:POV and you are not allowed to make claims not supported by sources WP:OR. If you cannot follow these rules, I'm afraid you will soon be blocked from editing. Misplaced Pages's guidelines are not optional and you are not allowed to use Misplaced Pages to make a WP:POINT.Jeppiz (talk) 09:32, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
