Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Western Saharan clashes (2020–present), have removed content without a good reason to do so. Content on Wikipedia should not be removed just because you disagree with it or because you think it's wrong, unless the claim is not verifiable. Instead, you should consider expanding the article with noteworthy and verifiable information of your own, citing reliable sources when you do so. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles. 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).

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Western Saharan clashes (2020–present), you may be blocked from editing. M.Bitton (talk) 11:54, 14 September 2023 (UTC)


 * There was an explanation I just made a mistake while editing it happens. Albtrd (talk) 12:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As well as removing other content, you changed a number (twice); so the claim that it was a "mistake" doesn't hold much water. M.Bitton (talk) 12:04, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Because the content is either wrong or not precise that's why. Albtrd (talk) 12:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for confirming what I said. M.Bitton (talk) 12:19, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The problem is that anyone can create a Wikipedia account and say that something is true, and anyone else can create one and say that it's false. Therefore we can't accept statements purely on the grounds that a Wikipedia editor says so, and instead we rely on what is said in published sources which are judged to be reliable. If content of an article is not supported by cited sources then that is enough justification for it to be removed. However, if it is supported by cited sources then the fact that a Wikipedia editor says that it is "wrong" is not justification for removal: we need evidence that the source is unreliable, and preferably a reference to a more reliable source saying otherwise.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Western Saharan clashes (2020–present). M.Bitton (talk) 11:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Western Saharan clashes (2020–present). 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. M.Bitton (talk) 12:05, 14 September 2023 (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.
