Invitation for a "Discussion"

Good Day,

Due to barely interactions with the Article, it is easy to assume that there wont probably be a disccusion to start with. Since you were the one reverting the move, then you might also take part in the "discussion".

I guess that you are ignoring my comments means that you dont want to accept my invitation. Am I right?

Also, since you are removing information on the Article about the International recognition of Kosovo without taking into regard the concerns I have written down on the Talk page of the Article, I might have to revert your edits, which probably will result in a Edit-War, because you would most likely edit the Article again, which I cant allow due to not having a proper solution/summary/result from the discussion which was started some days earlier on the Talk page of the Article.

I hope that you will cooperate with finding a solution to the problem.

Best Regards,

I am not Serbian nor Kosovar/Albanian (nor American nor Russian) so I have no personal position on Kosovo's statehood, but you know much better than I do that Kosovo is trying to gain full international recognition as a sovereign State, and that Serbia, Russia, China, India, Greece, Spain and most countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa still consider Kosovo a part of Serbia, while Albania, the USA, France, Germany and most countries in Western Europe consider Kosovo and Serbia two distinct countries, and Misplaced Pages tries (as it has to) to be neutral about it and use language that suits both parts. So your suggestion for changing this article from the name of the two cities to "Kosovo-Serbia" would obviously be controversial and not reach a consensus in this moment. It doesn't even matter if I agree with you, it's not the two of us who will change the minds of about half of the international community and Misplaced Pages's policy on the issue. But if the city name is Mitrovica, we can change it to Serbia-Mitrovica, yes. Dan Palraz (talk) 06:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

@Dan Palraz

The whole comment of yours could have been written on the talk page of the article, the place where it is meant to be.

Of whose ethnicity you are part of, plays no role. Since it doesnt answer the question. On wikipedia I am trying to be neutral. Something like "Kosovska Mitrovica" isnt neutral at all. Maybe I shouldnt have directly changed the articles name and rather asked about it on the talk page first.

Either way, I take your comment into consideration and I will change the article to "Belgrad-Mitrovica".

Now to the second part, which you didnt answer:

"Also, since you are removing information on the Article about the International recognition of Kosovo without taking into regard the concerns I have written down on the Talk page of the Article, I might have to revert your edits, which probably will result in a Edit-War, because you would most likely edit the Article again, which I cant allow due to not having a proper solution/summary/result from the discussion which was started some days earlier on the Talk page of the Article.

I hope that you will cooperate with finding a solution to the problem."

Do you might wanna answer this?

Best Regards,

"InfoboxIPA": soundfiles

Hi Dan,

I undid your edit to article Voiced palatal lateral approximant because you inserted a sound file where a graphic is appropriate. Please note that sound file data of template {{Infobox IPA}} is handled on Module:IPA symbol/data. Love —LiliCharlie (talk) 19:26, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

November 2021

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! – Joe (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

1RR

You've violated the 1RR at Temple Mount. These two edits (Edit #1, Edit #2) saw you re-adding the term "Al-Aqsa Mosque" as an alias for the entire Temple Mount, also replacing the term "Al-Aqsa Mosque" with "praying hall of al-Aqsa Mosque". Kindly self-revert or you may be reported. Thanks. Tombah (talk) 16:06, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I would suggest you revert that. I don't know what timezone you are in, but you should do this as soon as you notice the above on your page. Rest assured that the abusive removal of that valid information will be corrected. But for the moment, technically, we are obliged to adhere scrupulously to that rule. In the I/P area, true, insistent removals of information like this are frequently tactical: to tempt editors to break the mandatory IR rule and then, when duly reported, have them permanently banned. Stoic patience is the sine qua non of productive contributions here, Rome wasn't built in a day.Nishidani (talk) 21:59, 21 May 2022 (UTC).

Hi, can anyone please explain what is the 1RR rule? I have no idea what this is about. Also, Wiki doesn't allow me to revert the edit, as subsequent edits by another user have been done since. Still, I would appreciate understanding what you were trying to warn me about. Thank you. Dan Palraz (talk) 10:24, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

To explain -- you cannot normally revert more than 3 times in 24 hours (this is called 3RR). You cannot revert on unusually contentious pages such as those dealing with Israel more than 1 time in 24 hours (1RR). There's an automatic pop-up warning when you edit the page.

GordonGlottal (talk) 12:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Ok, so I can do only one reversion each 24 hours in pages dealing with Israel - got it. Thank you, GordonGlottal. Dan Palraz (talk) 12:30, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

In theory, yes, do the same reversion repeatedly can be seen as edit warring. Doug Weller talk 14:15, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Edit-warring

What purpose do you think is served by edit-warring at Maltese (dog)? You added some ill-written content (example: "What is sure it that is probably originated from spitz-type dogs") and removed some sourced material. I removed some of that, improved the sourcing, and made a start on cleaning up the rest of the mess there, but you've reverted to your preferred version, undoing the other edits in the process. Please read WP:BRD – in a nutshell, if your edit is reverted, don't make the same edit again, discuss. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:49, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, this is Misplaced Pages, and we prefer academic sources, not journalists, etc

See WP:VERIFY. Feel free to ask at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Archaeology. The professional archaeologist who reverted you also noted that your edits were just plain wrong. Doug Weller talk 14:12, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
