Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 14:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Ahmed Girri Bin Hussein Al Somali, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

 * I added multiple sources though. What more is needed? Adamsanels (talk) 18:22, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like you sprinkled citations superficially to justify removing the templates. And you obviously didn't address the original research issue, despite trying to remove the template. Have you edited Wikipedia before? R Prazeres (talk) 18:31, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I’ve added extensive sources in addition to the original research that was already there i.e. the futuh itself. Richard Burton and Marcus Harold for example, highly reliable. The article had some spelling and grammar mistakes that fixed aswell. Adamsanels (talk) 18:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You didn't answer my question: have you edited Wikipedia before? R Prazeres (talk) 18:43, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * A few years back yes I have, not in a long time though. Adamsanels (talk) 18:46, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Whats wrong? Why can’t I remove the templates? Adamsanels (talk) 20:56, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I added the 5-6 sources on the 18th and I also referenced Richard Burton today. Adamsanels (talk) 21:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Ahmed Girri Bin Hussein Al Somali. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. R Prazeres (talk) 20:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I added the 5-6 sources on the 18th and I also referenced Richard Burton today. When can I remove the templates? Adamsanels (talk) 21:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Don't remove them, period. You know there is no consensus to do so, so stop lobbying to remove them. The task of fixing the article and of removing the templates will likely fall to other, more experienced editors. R Prazeres (talk) 21:07, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The info is straight forward on the page though. There is no contradiction at all. How many other sources is enough? Adamsanels (talk) 21:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Who do I need a consensus from? Only you? Adamsanels (talk) 21:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * The fact that you don't understand what the maintenance templates are for is further indication that you shouldn't be removing them. Among other things, you don't seem to understand what WP:OR means, so I suggest you read it carefully and look at why the template was added . Per WP:CONSENSUS and WP:BRD], it's your responsibility to edit by consensus; that means with anyone in general, not just me. R Prazeres (talk) 21:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay but can you explain which of the sources are considered OR so I can strengthen the article? Adamsanels (talk) 22:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Adamsanels, please read No original research. Sources cannot be OR (original research), only the way you handle sources can be. To simplify, anything that is based on an interpretation or analysis of primary sources by a Wikipedia editor, but that one cannot find explicitly written in an independent, secondary source, is considered 'original research'. The easiest way to avoid OR is to not use primary sources at all and to find reliable secondary sources instead. ☿ Apaugasma  ( talk  ☉) 14:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
