Requesting comments and a little advice.

I saw you asked how to procede if you want people to vote on which picture to use in an article. The answer is to start a Request for Comment. However, note that you are supposed to discuss the matter at the article's talk page first. And my personal advice to you: Since you are still relatively new, try rather to focus on making edits that are not disputed. Most of us get into edit disputes once in a while, but it's normally a good advice to not get into too many disputes. Being in too many disputes can easily get you into trouble. And while experienced users aren't right all the time, they tend to be right more often than less experienced users because they know a bit more what belongs in an encyclopedia and not. I also have the impression that some of the other editors on history of Iran articles are very knowledgeable, so there may be a thing or two to learn from them.

Once again, thanks for another great advice. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:45, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

vandalism

please stop adding "Category:Lur people" to articles. there is not even a reference in those articles about Lur people. in Persian Misplaced Pages, administrators rollbacked all of similar edits. please dont change/add anything without any reliable reference and read WP:RS. Thanks   ARASH PT  talk  16:32, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

The surname says it all about the person, i have asked an admin about that. --HistoryofIran (talk) 16:33, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

stop sabotage!!!!!!!

You dont have any compelling reason so stop sabotage in Lurs page--Setenlyacc (talk) 10:15, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

What do you did was showing a map without any source and pictures of Lorestan which should belong to the LORESTAN article, not the Lur article, not to tell that you added the picture of a Persian as an Lur without any source, and please stop doing copyvio or i will have to contact an admin. --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:54, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Copying within Misplaced Pages

Since you are the subject of a contributor copyright investigation (Misplaced Pages:Contributor copyright investigations/HistoryofIran), I assume you have been notified how to handle copyrighted content, including from within Misplaced Pages. Since I am unsure, though, given your history of blanking your talk page, I'll just emphasize that it is violation of the copyright of our contributors to copy their content from one article to another without giving necessary credit. I cannot determine precisely which articles you copied from in making Media (region), but I have found hits to text in multiple articles - History of Afghanistan and Medes, to name two. I do not know where you first got it, but presumably you do. To restore that article, you must provide proper credit. Please see Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages for the process. If you don't understand it, you are welcome to come by my talk page or to use {{ping}} to draw me here, and I will try to explain. --Moonriddengirl 13:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Alright, thanks, and just letting you know what i copied was from the Medes article. --HistoryofIran (talk) 13:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

HistoryofIran, the conditions of me unblocking you was that you would be familiar with WP:Copyrights and all related policies and guidelines. WP:Copying within Misplaced Pages is a specific guideline noted at WP:Copyrights. I not going to re-block you just yet (although if another administrator disagrees with me, that's fine) because here (and elsewhere) you ultimately noted in the edit summary where the article was copied from - which is not enough per the guideline. You must realize that you are on very, very thin ice when it comes to copying content from anywhere. Singularity42 (talk) 13:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Correct me if im wrong, but if i have to copy information from another Misplaced Pages article i have to write in my edit summary the name of the user who added it? right? --HistoryofIran (talk) 15:09, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

You need to follow one of the options at WP:CWW#Proper attribution. I usually use the following steps:

1. At the destination article, add an edit summary that says copied content from ]; see that article's history for attribution
2. At the source article's talk page, add {{copied}} (with the basic parameters filled out).

There are other options to take, but until you are more familiar with the process, it is best to use the above two steps together. Singularity42 (talk) 15:23, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Also, if you think the original article just needs to be moved, redirected, or merged, there are better options than copying-and-pasting. Singularity42 (talk) 15:26, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Notice of editing restrictions

Notice: Under the terms of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Armenia-Azerbaijan 2, any editor who edits articles which relate to the region of Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran and the ethnic and historical issues related to that area in an aggressive point of view manner marked by incivility may be placed under several editing restrictions, by notice on that editor's talk page. This notice is to inform you that based on your edits, you are hereby placed under the following restrictions:

1. Revert limitation (formerly known as revert parole). You are limited to one revert per page per week, excepting obvious vandalism, and are required to discuss any content reversions on the page's talk page.
2. Supervised editing (formerly known as probation). You may be banned by any administrator from editing any or all articles which relate to the region of Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran and the ethnic and historical issues related to that area should you fail to maintain a reasonable degree of civility in your interactions with one another concerning disputes which may arise.
3. Civility supervision (formerly known as civility parole). If you make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, or assumptions of bad faith, then you may be blocked for a short time of up to one week for repeat transgressions.

Enforcement: Violations of limitations, supervision, or bans imposed by the remedies in this case may be enforced by brief blocks of up to a week in the event of repeat violations. After 5 blocks the maximum block period shall increase to one year.

Note: This notice is not effective unless given by an administrator and logged here.

This notice is being given to you due to your involvement in an edit war in the affected area. If you disagree with another editor, please engage in calm discussion and seek dispute resolution rather than repeatedly making the same edits. Edit warring behavior will lead to sanctions.

I already tried to tell him that he can't edit with no sources, what else should i do? --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:32, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

If you take a look at the dispute resolution page I linked to above, there are a number of things you can do, starting with just discussing it on the talk page. If that doesn't work and you find yourself at an impasse, use something like a third opinion, request for comment, or the dispute resolution noticeboard to get more eyes on the situation. If you really are right, those other editors will back you, and you'll develop a consensus behind what you're doing. Seraphimblade 20:06, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
