April 2018

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)

ARBPIA DS/Alert

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Please also note you are not supposed to edit the topic area until you are Misplaced Pages:User access levels#Extended confirmed users - 30 days of tenure and 500 edits.Icewhiz (talk) 11:46, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

• ApolloCarmb, if you don't know what you're doing, and if you think that terms like "Palestinian" and "ay-rab" and all that mean the same thing, don't be editing in that topic area. Cause right now it looks like you're just another right-winger/nationalist here to make a political point in our encyclopedia. Drmies (talk) 13:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
• And from the same article, this, the second time you remove a valid tag (after it had been restored by E.M.Gregory). You don't seem to understand the tag, which baffles me: the tag asks for location of "mention", meaning WHERE IN THE DOCUMENT, and you say "no necessary"? And earlier you removed it and said "The US gov is not good enough?" Well, the US government isn't necessarily a reliable or properly secondary source, but that is not a discussion I want to have right now. The document linked to is quite long, and an indication of where the mention is would be very handy; one can count paragraphs, for instance. So I restored the tag.

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)

I am not sure why that would exclude Texans. The lead says "or". Therefore a group (like Texans) does not need to be an ethnic group to be considered a "stateless nation".ApolloCarmb (talk) 12

No one is talking about Texans except you. In any case, it's unsourced. Doug Weller talk 12:31, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Your source has 11 pages related to Texas. What page discusses Texians (not Texans)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) 13:18, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

General sanctions notice

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Misplaced Pages. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Warning

Just warning you again, do not continue with your personal attacks, such as this one. Also, your wikihounding is unwarranted, bordering WP:NOTHERE actions. I know you are new to Misplaced Pages (or it appears so), so please do not take things personally. We are here to work together.----ZiaLater (talk) 23:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

According to your recent edit on my talk page regarding your behavior:

"ZiaLater I edit articles related to socialist figures. It's just a coincidence. For proof here's an edit I made to the Joseph Stalin article. ApolloCarmb (talk) 08:13, 28 April 2018 (UTC)"

This raises questions about you being WP:SPA. I understand that you are new and think you should review this. As for the hounding, I made edits to the corruption in Nicaragua article and you followed me there. My edits on Medal of Valor (Peru), which was only recently created by me at the time, were also hounded by you. You also hounded on the UNASUR article as well. Here are multiple other instances (, , ). Although some of these edits were fine, none of this was a coincidence and you lying about this has only made things more difficult for me...----ZiaLater (talk) 13:42, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: ZiaLater if you think me editing South American politics related articles is proof of "wikihounding" then I really do not know what to say to you. I would imagine plenty of people edit South American politics related articles.ApolloCarmb (talk) 13:52, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Not these articles, especially not shortly after my own edits. The Corruption in Nicaragua had not been edited for months/years. The Joaquín Crespo article had not been edited for months/years. Same with the article of his wife Jacinta Parejo. The Medal of Valor (Peru) article was hardly even a day old. You are only digging yourself deeper. Stop it.----ZiaLater (talk) 14:09, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

That's the beauty of a watchlist, @ZiaLater:. As for the Medal of Valor (Peru) article yes I followed you there but that is the only article. Oh and by the way if you keep breaching WP:BLP on Nicolas Maduro Guerra I will be forced to report you.ApolloCarmb (talk) 15:04, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

I just changed the wording as you submitted that... Anyways, the only reason that I am understanding right now is because you have at least made some decent edits and were somewhat honest about your motives (editing articles related to socialism). For the future, please be more honest and not be so combative. No more hounding. In your short time here, you have already been blocked, were abusive towards other users and have been involved with edit warring. I know that it can be difficult being new here, so let's have things go more smoothly moving forward.----ZiaLater (talk) 18:38, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

In what way would you say I am combative? I need to know so I am not "combative" in the future.ApolloCarmb (talk) 18:41, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Participating in edit wars, calling users "stupid" and "trolls" and reverting certain edits with the summary of "de-propagandising". That's a good start.----ZiaLater (talk) 18:43, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Stop

Stop this behaviour. What you are doing does not make sense. I can change things. I can move pages, especially when the title is factually inaccurate and does not depics the topic correctly.

Consensus does not mean I can't make changes. --TIAYN (talk) 11:23, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

And I'm stopping since you're showing bad faith.. You are reverting ALL my edits and not this one. You have something personally against me. The name of the article is inaccurate. --TIAYN (talk) 11:35, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Per WP:BRD "Revert an edit if it is not an improvement, and it cannot be immediately fixed by refinement".. I'm following the rules, not you :P --TIAYN (talk) 11:36, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. ----ZiaLater (talk) 21:02, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

POV

Hi ApolloCarmb. Besides the concerns that previous editors have voiced, I also noticed that you may be POV pushing. While I've noticed that you've done useful edits in articles such as linking with other pages, this has gone to extent of deleting complete and referenced paragraphs: Please consider discussing your edits beforehand in the article's talk page or adding sources to them, specially if you feel that they will be polemic. Having called me a stalker makes me feel more worried about this. According to WP:HOUND, I've done my best not to engage in personal attacks or other disruptive behavior, but respectfully, once that I knew this editing was not unique to Venezuelan articles. Best wishes. --Jamez42 (talk) 17:15, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Presidential election

Dear ApolloCarmb: so far you're the only editor who's pushing to delete infoboxes, and you have been previosly called by other users to avoid edit warring, in some instanced even deleting their messages and, if I'm not mistaken, violating WP:3RR. There's also no need to call my edit "rediculous", and I have previously asked you to please adopt a more cordial tone. I'm doing my best to assume good faith because I've also previously recognize the helpful edits you've done, but these actions seem to be against the policy of civility. Please reconsider. --Jamez42 (talk) 15:32, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
