The Joshua Project

After a back & forth yesterday in which you one time restored data from the Joshua Project after having been informed that it was by standing consensus not a reliable source (WP:RS/P), you again today added data to another page from the Joshua Project. This is not a source we can draw on for Misplaced Pages. Are you doing this deliberately? Pathawi (talk) 17:20, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I am not doing this 'deliberately' but there is no source out there that mentions the Hadendowa population in Sudan so i added the Joshua Project. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 17:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

The Joshua Project just isn't a reliable source. Misplaced Pages sources have to be reliable. So it's not like if there's Joshua Project & something else, choose something else. It's: Never use Joshua Project. Pathawi (talk) 17:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I literally added Ethnologue and you removed it what else do you wnat me to add? Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 17:42, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I undid an edit in which you made multiple changes, including the addition of an unreliable source—an unreliable source that I had twice notified you of, including within the previous 24 hours. I don't particularly want you to add anything: That's not what's at issue. I want you to not use unreliable missionary sources. Pathawi (talk) 17:45, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Ok so i have added a reliable source with the population estimates. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 18:01, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

oh so this cookiemonster fellow has this bizzare behaviour all over Misplaced Pages. They should be cautioned. Researcherofgreatness (talk) 08:11, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

September 2023

Your recent editing history at Hausa people shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about 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.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Belbury (talk) 17:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I dont know how to do it but can you request for a dispute resolution thank You. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 18:04, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

WP:DRN says The dispute must have been recently discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) to be eligible for help at DRN. so you should at least do that first. You haven't posted to Talk:Hausa people at all. Belbury (talk) 18:10, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

This person also wants to start an edit war with me. Researcherofgreatness (talk) 08:12, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

On the Somali Bantu Misplaced Pages page

Please read a book on the subject because its obvious that I know more on the subject than you. That article has multiple issues and needs an ethnicity specialist, which I am. I dont need to give source on the recent edits I made because they were information contained in the previous citation, just more accurate. The whole article doesnt even give proper sources in the first place and has many lines making proclamations with zero sources, yet you didnt flag any of it but reversed my edits. Please learn more on the subject you interfere in. Read a book on the subject or better still become an ethnicity expert. Researcherofgreatness (talk) 06:14, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

adding unsourced content to Misplaced Pages regardless if you are a specialist or not will not be tolerated. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 12:02, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

You are a troll who joined 5 months ago, please have several seats. You don't know anything about Misplaced Pages. Poser. Researcherofgreatness (talk) 08:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
