Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Nicki Minaj. 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 be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 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 lead to a block. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 00:44, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Nicki Minaj, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please also note that you are at peril of being blocked for violating the three-revert rule. —C.Fred (talk) 01:02, 9 March 2019 (UTC)

You continue to edit Nicki Minaj and add "Trinidadian" in the lead without any citation of her having Trinidadian nationality/citizenship. You have done this repeatedly despite us explaining that this violates WP:Ethnicity guidelines on biography leads. If you continue to do this, you will be blocked.

Hello and Good Day!, There’s no proof needed for her staying that she has Trinidadian nationality, That’s where she was born and that stays with you till you die. Firstly Trinidadian is NOT an ethnicity it is a nationality and the demonym of citizenship of anyone who was born in Trinidad or obtained Trinidadian citizenship. Nicki Minaj is a born Trinidadian citizen. She was born in Trinidad and lived with her grandparents up until 5 years when she was reunited with her parents who had left Trinidad to make a better life for the family in New York. An understandable misunderstanding that people get ethnicity and nationality mixed up is frequent but I repeat Trinidadian is a nationality and not an ethnicity. Ethnicity would be a racial background and from there races are broken into smaller fractions. So Nicki Minaj’s ethnicity would be Asian and African. Her mother is Afro-Trinidadian (a Trinidadian national of African descendants) and her father is Indo-Trinidadian (a Trinidadian national of East Indian/South Asian/ whatever is your local term for someone who’s ancestry lies in India as there descent). Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian national of mixed Indo and Afro ancestry who is a resident of the United States. In that case she should not even be considered an American because she does not have US Citizenship as she stated numerous times which makes her not legitimately able to vote in the American elections. She is a Trinidadian by nationality at birth still and holds a Trinidadian passport still. So the only nationality that should be on her Bio should be Trinidadian but because of recent and on going conflicts regarding her nationality there has be settlements to put it as Trinidadian-American. You can go to that page aswell and she the definition of the term. ElijahIbnUlSamad (talk) 15:10, 10 March 2019 (UTC)ElijahIbnUlSamad

Although she may have been born with Trinidadian nationality, you need to first of all provide a credible source that she continues to retain Trinidadian nationality, and also that this is relevant to her notability, as these are the criteria for inclusion of birthplace or previous nationalities in the lead according to WP:Ethnicity which I have repeatedly asked you to look at. Wikipedia does not permit inclusion of previous nationalities and/or place of birth and/or ethnicity in the lead unless directly relevant to notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apoorva Iyer (talk • contribs) 15:16, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

Okay, So what creditations do you have that she has gotten American citizenship even. If that’s the case then you should provide something proving she obtain American citizenship. The nationality what you were born with is what is going to stick with you for life unless you renounce it or become stateless. Also when you become an American citizen being a Trinidadian native you have to become a dual citizen meaning both Trinidadian and American. This source is her stating she is an immigrant that can’t vote but pays tax. She can’t vote because she is not American by law but because she is a resident she has to pay taxes.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Nicki Minaj, you may be blocked from editing. You need to get consensus on the change via discussion at Talk:Nicki Minaj before making the change. —C.Fred (talk) 16:38, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
