Hello, I'm Knitsey. I noticed that you recently removed content from Battle of Kagul without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. You've removed the references then changed the numbers without a new reference. Knitsey (talk) 17:10, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Great Siege of Malta. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 23:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Battle of Larga. Materialscientist (talk) 00:56, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions; however, please remember the essential rule of respecting copyrights. Edits to Wikipedia, such as your edit to the page Battle of Preveza, may not contain material from copyrighted sources unless that text is available under a suitable free license. It is almost never okay to copy extensive text out of a book or website and paste it into a Wikipedia article with little or no alteration, though you can clearly and briefly quote copyrighted text in the right circumstances. Content that does not comply with this legal rule must be removed. For more information on this, see:
 * Copying text from other sources
 * Policy on copyright
 * Frequently asked questions on Wikipedia's copyright policy
 * Policy and guideline on non-free content

If you still have questions, there is the Teahouse, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. As you get started, you may find the pages below to be helpful.

Warning
Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. Materialscientist (talk) 23:19, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Forgot to add source. Germanicus44 (talk) 23:20, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The sources you added to Battle of Preveza were clearly bogus. I checked Hattendorf & King for example which had nothing about figures for the battle, only about Lepanto. The other sources you cited were untraceable. Peter Isotalo 12:11, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Warning
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; read about 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 do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:12, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

ANI notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Peter Isotalo 07:28, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. Lourdes 08:52, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Even after you received multiple warnings, including a contentious topic alert above, you have continued adding unsupported figures in various articles. Almost all your edits in two days have been reverted. You have to ensure you confirm that you have understood Wikipedia's editing policies and you have to confirm that you will support all your added material with reliable sources. Please advise if you understand our editing policies (or whether you would like assistance to be pointed to articles that can teach you how to edit Wikipedia productively). Do let us know.
