Hello, I'm Flyer22 Frozen. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Jollof rice—because it did not appear constructive.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Senegalese wrestling has an edit summary that appears to be inadequate, inaccurate, or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 15:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

I see you have a history of adding unsourced text
Please read WP:RS. If this continues you may be blocked from editing. Doug Weller talk 15:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi FromSenegal! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at History of Senegal that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Your edit summary said, mistakenly that you were making corrections, clearly not a minor edit  Doug Weller  talk 16:48, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * The edits are only related to present day Senegal. Kingdom of Sine was not Senegambia but present day Senegal. I have undone your reverted edit. FromSenegal (talk) 17:50, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Kingdom of Sine
That is NOT a minor edit, and you should have pointed out that you were correcting a quotation. Your correction was right but providing a misleading edit summary didn’t help. Doug Weller talk 17:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Ah I see now what you mean but I can´t make a correction anymore. I will pay attention next time. FromSenegal (talk) 18:01, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Explicedit summaries help. Doug Weller  talk 18:32, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ndaté Yalla Mbodj, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Berber. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Ghana braids has no reliable sources, you can't use our articles as sources
First, I am NOT trying to be difficult, I'm trying to make you a better editor. You need sources meeting WP:NOTABILITY, specifically WP:GNG. I see lots of brief mentions which are of no use. But I found this which is a start. See also Help:Referencing for beginners Doug Weller  talk 11:27, 13 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I will read them. Thank you. FromSenegal (talk) 14:07, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

You are edit-warring against multiple users; your source does not mention Jollof rice
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 00:15, 30 May 2022 (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.


 * It doesn't matter whether or not they are anonymous. You are very close to being blocked for repeatedly adding improperly sourced material. The existing sources make it clear that the exact origin is disputed. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:11, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Jollof Rice) for a period of 3 months for edit warring, NPOV violations, bad sourcing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. 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. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * where are your evidence for that article?

FromSenegal (talk) 11:45, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You are free to use the talk page to convince other editors that your version is the correct one. You've already had a number of warnings. Show that you can edit cooperatively, make sure all your edits meet our policies and guidelines, then ask again. Doug Weller  talk 11:55, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not break any rules. FromSenegal (talk) 12:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Easy. Your first cite says "As far as jollof's origin is concerned, Senegal and Gambia can make forceful claims purely on linguistic and geographical point of views." So not Senegal alone even if we accept it as authoritative, which it isn't. Your second source says " I thought that nothing could rival Nigerian jollof in this spot, but after I tasted Thieboudienne (the Senegalese Jollof rice dish" and "Thieboudienne has a distinctively different taste that Jollof rice doesn’t mimic." So no claim that jollof is Senegalese in origin. And your third source doesn't even mention Jollof. In the article you used this which again doesn't mention jollof. And amazingly you used the article itself twice as a source, and we never use our articles as sources. You're doing a good job of convincing me that you are not capable of following our policies and guidelines.  Doug Weller  talk 14:23, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Special:Contributions/Rempt why you block him for 36 hours? FromSenegal (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Amazing. Do you really want the same block Rempt was given? Doug Weller  talk 15:22, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Did I violated any kind of rules? FromSenegal (talk) 15:25, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * That editor was blocked indefinitely. Doug Weller  talk 18:07, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Final warning for insufficient sourcing
If you continue to make unsourced edits or edits in which a source does not support your assertion, your block will be expanded.

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * Seems like you focussing on me don´t you have other occupations? FromSenegal (talk) 16:20, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Block evasion is a great way to get your block extended. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:59, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Stop harassing me. I don´t know what you are talking about. Go and find another occupation. FromSenegal (talk) 17:00, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅ sockpuppetry. --Yamla (talk) 23:10, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
