You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Yopie (talk) 20:21, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;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&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;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. 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. Yopie (talk) 21:11, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Hittites
We go by WP:COMMONNAME. This is the English language wikipedia by I noticed that other language versions use a version of Hittite, not your personally preferred version. Virtually all sources use the term Hittites. In any case you are confused, as "Nesili" refers to the name of their language, "Nesa" to their name. Please don't try to edit war this in against our guidelines. You could start a discussion on the talk page but you'll get nowhere due to the guideline I mentioned.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 19:19, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Hittites. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 19:32, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

This is ridiculous, I was only interested in helping. I added info that could be verified, and I got blocked? This is outrageous, is there ever something wrong with more information instead of less?


 * Helping would be working with others, finding out why you were being reverted. Note that you can't just start doing the same edits once your block is over, that would just be continued editwarring. You need to get agreement on the talk page. We don't allow original research so you have to show that most sources refer to a Neshite Empire, that they say calling them Hittites is wrong, etc. The origin of their name is irrelevant, what they are called today is what counts. Doug Weller  talk 20:27, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Couldn't we just reword the lead then to something like this: "The Hittites is the modern name for the ancient Anatolian people who called themselves Nesa or Neshites (pertaining to the city of Nesha) and their country Nesa or Hattusa. The use of Hittite is not wrong per se. Like the Byzantines didn't call themselves Byzantine, they called themselves Romans and their country Romania, Roman Empire.

talk page and edit warring
Stop reverting only to ask a question. That's what talk pages are for. What you are adding is redundant as it is already there, "slang for a young adult, especially a young man". Bgwhite (talk) 23:34, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Zhou dynasty (690–705)
Perhaps you're confused as to how this process works, as a relatively inexperienced editor -- and one, moreover, that seems to have a history of edit warring. To wit, read WP:OWN; there is nothing inviolable about your edits. The reason I have redirected that article is that it contains NO content not found in the article to which it's been redirected. I'm not the only editor who thinks so, given that a merger request tag's been on it for several months. The way this works is not that you keep reverting to an infobox and an increasing pile of unsourced meandering edits. It's that you write substantive information, not otherwise found in the parent article, and that this new substantive information is reliably sourced.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Jamadevi.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Jamadevi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Majora (talk) 00:29, 9 July 2017 (UTC)
