April 2018

Information icon Hello, I'm SamHolt6. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, White Helmets (Syrian Civil War), 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.

Edit warring

You have violated the consensus required provision of at least two separate articles, 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, and Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Please self-revert. Geogene (talk) 11:12, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Your edit on Help Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections

You restored content that was challenged on Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Because the article is subject to editing restrictions, you are not allowed to do that according to the prominent notice that appears when editing. The notice says:

You must not make more than one revert per 24 hours to this article. You must not reinstate any challenged (via reversion) edits without obtaining consensus on the talk page of this article. You are required to abide by a civility restriction, and are subject to discretionary sanctions while editing this page.

You should use the talk page if you wish to seek consensus for including this material. Violating the page editing restrictions can result in you being blocked or topic banned.- MrX 🖋 11:14, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

April 2018

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Stateless nation. This contravenes Misplaced Pages's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. This isn't your first warning about unsourced material, so you have no excuse. Doug Weller talk 12:10, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Let's keep this discussion together. You told me on my talk page the lead sentence is unsourced. Here it is: A stateless nation is a political term for an ethnic group or nation that does not possess its own state and is not the majority population in any nation state. Would you like to explain to me what is unsourced about that? We don't even need sources in the lead if they are in the body of the article. Doug Weller talk 12:14, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
