Jews
Please stop edit-warring over your changes at Jews. The source you added clearly says there are an "estimated 7,000 Jews living in Colombia today". How does that become 15,000–35,000? If you continue to edit-war and misrepresent what sources say, you may be blocked from editing. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:17, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

August 2015
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Jews. 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 that 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. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:24, 8 August 2015 (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'd like to add to this. The question of how many and which languages to mention in the infobox of Jews was extensively discussed recently on the talkpage, and the consensus is to mention only those four that are mentioned at the moment. If anything, there were voices to have even less. So please do not add any more.
 * By the way, you used a Wikipedia article as a source. That is not allowed on Wikipedia. Debresser (talk) 23:41, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iryna Harpy. Your recent edit to the page Venezuela appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Iryna Harpy (talk) 20:14, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to White Latin Americans, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Changing data but not source

Mulatto is a term used to refer to persons born of one white parent and one black parent.
Mulatto is a term used to refer to persons born of one white parent and one black parent.

The term biracial in the context of the Colombian census is incorrect because the term mulatto refers to people with African ancestry. In addition people with Amerindian and European ancestries are also biracial.

Mulatto is the correct term because the biracial word refers to all persons who have racial mixing and in this case more than 50% of Colombians are biracial. You should learn to use those terms and not generate more damage to the article about Colombia.


 * Biracial = Having parents of two different races: (The term biracial in the context of the Colombian census is incorrect)

Mestizo = Amerindian ancestry + European ancestry. (Mestizo is a biracial category) Mulatto = European ancestry + African ancestry (Mulatto is a biracial category)

The word 'mulatto' in the context of the Colombian census is correct because it specifically refers to persons who have African ancestry as a category of black people.


 * 10.6% Black (includes Mulatto) - Correct term in the context of the Colombian census.


 * 10.6% Black (includes Biracial) - Wrong term in the context of the Colombian census.

'''The mestizos are biracial. Mulattoes are biracial.'''

You don't should damage the correct information about the Colombian census.

Controversial edits (2014–present)
Collebud88, I have just gone through "two years" worth of edits you have made to Wikipedia. While some were productive, the majority of them have been controversial and reverted by several editors of the community including myself as of late. A lot of these pages are often times neglected and are overlooked when minor edits are made and in this case they were made under the appearance it was being covered by the sources given, which you have done on many occasions. Example, adding "Sephardi" to sections where the sources covered "Berbers" only. This is a serious offense on Wikipedia and if it persists, I will not have a problem reporting this kind of behavior to the administrative panels, which may lead to a cease of editing privileges indefinitely. Not only is this type of behavior not tolerated, but it is also unfair to the editors who made a duly effort to source and add content under good faith. These types of edits on your behalf (even if thought to be of good faith, benefit of doubt usually given) undermines that good faith. Other edits of vandal-like behavior is your persisted clumping of census categories to fit this "universal-one" you are attempting to impose on these Latin American countries. These edits can be found here: Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba and others. Please refrain. Also, the term mulatto is not an archaic term in Haiti, Cuba and Colombia especially. In fact, it has a lot of cultural significance in its history and should not be disenfranchised and ignored especially when these countries use these terms in the languages of their censuses.

When making successful edits, please cite google books, JSTOR, news articles etc. from reputable sources like, "The New York Times," "El Diario." (for ) etc and be sure to add links, page numbers as well. Also, instead of removals, please "add" content, opposed to subtracting, especially when sourced or sources conflict with what you find. There is room for both, or if there is overwhelming numbers of sources to dispute another; although it could still be mentioned, but naturally will not be considered as strongly as before. If unsourced please add a citation needed tag ({ { cn } }). Thank you for your cooperation and happy editing. Savvyjack23 (talk) 04:47, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Cuna Swastika flag, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

Edit war
Please stop what you're doing at Regional power and Colombia. If an edit you've made is reverted, and a discussion has started on the talk page, you must take part in that discussion if you really insist on your version. You can't just ignore it and keep reverting. If you continue like that, all you'll achieve is strain the patience of other editors and get yourself blocked.

Also, if you insert strong claims in an article, you must back them up by a source. And the claim must be explicitly made in that source. Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 17:01, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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. – Uanfala (talk) 20:19, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
