Important Administrators Noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Takeaway (talk • contribs)

Your Response is Required

In lieu of blocking you at the moment, I have taken the unique step of protecting 3 of your recently-edited articles from further edits.

This is out of the possibility that you have either not been reading this very talkpage, or that you would like to explain yourself on the WP:ANI report about your editing.

Misplaced Pages runs on WP:CONSENSUS, and does not permit original research. Knowing how you understand the 5 pillars of Misplaced Pages, an explanation of why you're breaking so many Misplaced Pages policies, and an understanding of how you intend to proceed in the future will be key to whether or not the project is forced to block you from editing (✉→BWilkins←✎) 21:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I apologize for breaking Misplaced Pages rules. From now on, I will try to find verifiable sources to my articles.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 19:43, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is invited to contribute, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Talk:Religion in Africa, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here.

Ignore that. I made a mistake. --I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 19:50, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Appropriate sources

Try using established newspapers (any newspaper we have an article on will probably do in most cases), scholarly journals, and books published by university presses. Try to avoid sources affiliated with the subject you are writing about. Ian.thomson (talk) 18:18, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

I agree. I will try to find verifiable sources on the religions I wrote about.

Regarding your edits to Religion in Africa

I had to drastically cut out a lot of material that failed site policies and guidelines, as already explained to you on Talk:Religion in Africa.

  • Here I removed your introduction to the Dharmic Religions section because the sources cited do not mention Africa or the Middle east at all. Additionally, Indianhistory.info and historyfiles.co.uk do not meet the reliable sources standards. I've explained that to you before.
  • Here I removed material completely unsupported by any source.
  • Here I removed New World Encyclopedia, which is a wiki. As Qwyrzian explained on Talk:Religion in Africa, wikis, blogs, self-published sites, and forums are not reliable sources.
  • Here I removed Strategyleader.org, which is just some guy's personal website and not a reliable source.
  • Here I removed unsourced information, as well as information not supported by reliable sources. Dhammawiki.com, being a wiki, is not reliable. Pataka.dhamma.org brcixopo.co.za are affiliated with the subject and cannot be used to prove notability. Anyone can create those kinds of sites, so they're not really verifiable.
  • Here I removed material completely irrelevant to the article. The worldwide number of Sikhs does not inform the reader how many are in Africa.
  • Here I removed the rest of the Sikhism section, because the Foreign Policy magazine did not say that Sikhism was an increasing presence in Africa.
  • Here, *here, and here I removed sources that did not mention Africa at all. One only discussed worldwide expansion, but a source has to mention expansion into Africa to be useful in the article.

Ian.thomson (talk) 17:17, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Please discuss on talk

Please address my concerns on talk about you again adding inappropriate material to Religion in Africa. If you cannot provide suitable justification, I'm going to remove everything you added. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:35, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Please do not insert fringe or undue weight content into articles, as you did to Religion in Africa. An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. Please use the article's talk page to discuss the material and its appropriate weight within the article. Krizpo, address the concerns Qwyrxian and I raised in the edit summaries before trying to restore the contested material. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:54, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Religion in Africa shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Ian.thomson (talk) 23:16, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Dude, you are messing up the page. It actually looked good after my edit.(Krizpo (talk) 00:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)).
