Someone Is Bullying Me On The List Of National Days Of Mourning 2020 Present Page Because He Thinks My Info Is Unsourced But I Am Just New To Editing Here 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

You are not being bullied, your edits are being reverted because they are unhelpful/unconstructive to Misplaced Pages. First of all, all additions on Misplaced Pages must be reliably sourced; you cannot add information without citations. Secondly, you are starting every word with a capital letter; only words that start sentences or proper nouns are capitalized. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines of Misplaced Pages and how to use proper grammar before you continue editing. Mjks28 (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about the Capital letters Problem I’m trying to replace the capitals but I can’t add sources because I’m only new to editing on Misplaced Pages 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry but if you don't include reliable sources in what you add, I'll have to revert it, per the policy on being reliably sourced. Mjks28 (talk) 10:35, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I Don’t Know How To Use Sources I’m New Here. Let’s Test Something So. Look Up Tanzania Declares 5 Days Of Mourning In February 2024 Over Former President Dying. When You Find A Good Enough Source In The Results You Add Tanzania Onto The Page 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Also again sorry for capitals 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:38, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I done that yesterday and it worked 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:41, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I understand that you want to add new information, but you need to look at where you're adding it. This is an article of specifically mourning days from 2020 onwards, but you are adding dates from as far back as 1878. Please read and understand what the article is about before you make such changes. Also, it is not other editors' job to add sources for additions you make, that burden falls on you. Mjks28 (talk) 10:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for that I take that back 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:45, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I removed everything earlier than 2020 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:48, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I can see that you want to improve Misplaced Pages, and I apologise if my tone is too harsh. My concern is that your attempts to help are actually detrimental to the article, and its encyclopedic nature. If you want to add information to Misplaced Pages, it's important to remember these factors:
1. Is it notable?
2. Is it reliably sourced?
3. Is it formatted properly? (i.e. grammar, etc.)
4. Does it violate the guidelines of Misplaced Pages?
5. Does it follow the manual of style?
6. Does it go against any consensuses on the talk page?
Please familiarize yourself with all of these before you continue to edit. Mjks28 (talk) 10:51, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

1. I do know these events happened before especially Tanzania and Guinea

2. Theres multiple sources about these events on the internet

3. Sorry for the bad grammar stuff like the capitals

4. It’s national mourning declarations which does not violate guidelines

5. I think so

6. IDK sorry 2.28.107.151 (talk) 10:58, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

That list of 6 points are universal across Misplaced Pages; remember them for all edits you do. Responding to 2. Theres multiple sources about these events on the internet, that is not good enough. The sources must be on the Misplaced Pages article. Also, the information in that article is presented in table form, not blocks of text.

I'm sorry, but I am forced to revert your additions as they violate points 2, 3 and 5. Sources and being grammatically correct are non-negotiables on Misplaced Pages. Please do not add this information back until it is reliably sourced, formatted properly and following the manual of style.

Spend a few minutes looking at how the article of formatted, and read every one of the links I provided above; they are essential to Misplaced Pages, and must be followed. Mjks28 (talk) 11:04, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Are you able to add Tanzania Guinea and others for me I’m not making you do them all in just 1 day I’m just wondering 2.28.107.151 (talk) 11:06, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I strongly suggest using this test editor to practice editing to make sure you know what you're doing before you publish it on Misplaced Pages. Mjks28 (talk) 11:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

I might stop editing on Misplaced Pages tho I’ll still be on the talk page sorry but please respond to my question 2.28.107.151 (talk) 11:10, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

See this page for help with adding sources. Mjks28 (talk) 11:16, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry It’s Too Complicated For Me 2.28.107.151 (talk) 11:18, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
