Hello, the information is not incorrect, please read the links. Dwain I of Bir Tawil (talk) 15:34, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Bir Tawil. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 15:58, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I have tried to open dialogue with Passengerpigeon but have been completely ignored. I have included press coverage in my article. I am not aware of what Passengerpigeon seems to be incorrect information. Dwain I of Bir Tawil (talk) 16:10, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Passengerpigeon, please respond to me so this can be resolved. Dwain I of Bir Tawil (talk) 16:11, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Thank you. --bonadea contributions talk 16:34, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hello I've tried to open dialogue with you all and you clearly have nothing to say but as soon as I edit an article with relevant facts you all become very active. Dwain I of Bir Tawil (talk) 16:48, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because.. my editing of articles on Wikipedia are solely and exclusively to update valid information and thereby disseminate accurate information. Furthermore, I am willing to discuss all editing and have invited editors who have opposed my edits to discuss proposed changes but such editors editors have chosen not to engage in dialogue with me for reasons of their own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.192.5 (talk) 16:31, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * An interview piece in a local newspaper about your putative claim hardly satisfies Wikipedia's standards for substantial coverage in reliable sources that would need to be met for this claim to be included in the article. I see nothing else to indicate that it should be taken any more seriously than the dozens of other attempted claims of sovereignty over this "nation" that Wikipedia editors have had to revert from this article over a period of many years.  And even if we were to take you seriously and your claim was somehow more valid than these many others, we would be strongly discouraging you from editing the article anyway, for conflict of interest reasons.
 * In my view, further attempts to add your Bir Tawil claim anywhere in Wikipedia should be considered as vandalism and dealt with accordingly. --Finngall talk  19:19, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
