Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! PanchoS (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

SDF or Kurds
Hi,

We (contributors to the map) already discussed this, for example here. Word "Kurds" is not appropriate because it's YPG plus some other factions. Please revert to previous version. I can't because it's not allowed to revert the same page twice within 24h. --Hogg 22 (talk) 09:24, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016
Hello, I'm Spirit Ethanol. I noticed that you recently removed some content without 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; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tradedia talk 00:47, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Kurdish–Turkish conflict (1978–present). 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. Jprg1966   (talk)  01:07, 14 February 2016 (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.

Sheikh Issa
Fars News is Iran's state TV no different from SANA or Sputnik, and the Al Jazeera source I posted was literally seconds before my edit. That is far more up to date than six days, please revert your own edit. NightShadeAEB (talk) 15:50, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

An opposition channel/rebel video from Sheikh Issa five days ago denying SDF advances. Your sources are not up to date. Even Kurdish activists don't claim Sheikh Issa anymore. NightShadeAEB (talk) 15:52, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

A whole family was killed by a Russian air strike on February 19. More fighting and at least ten Russian air strikes happening today. It's clear the reports regarding Sheikh Issa were as premature as the reports regarding Marea, if you remember. Please revert your edits [User:Kordestani].

Edit warring at Module:Turkish Insurgency Detailed Map
It appears you've made a dozen or more reverts today alone (23 February) on the above module. This violates WP:3rr. There may still be time for you to avoid a block if you will agree to wait for consensus before reverting again on any page related to Turkey, the Kurds or the Syrian Civil War. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Continuing the edit war at Module:Turkish Insurgency Detailed Map
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. 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. See the notice I left you above.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion 2
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tradedia talk 07:19, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello Kordestani. You should reply, because it does appear that you broke the 1RR. You might be able to avoid a block if you will make an assurance about getting consensus in the future. EdJohnston (talk) 19:16, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As you continue to edit without responding to the complaint, it is likely you will be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 19:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you are warn me. I just restored templates and this is not an edit war. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kordestani (talk • contribs)

Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Iraqi Civil War (2014–present). Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ansh 666 22:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Sultan Abdullah
The head of Kurdistan24 News channel said Sultan Abdullah was held by ISIS!: https://twitter.com/BarzanSadiq/status/705330333668024320 How can you deny ISIS holds this village when a pro-Kurdish news source reports it? Simply saying "Villages in west bank of Tigris are liberated by Peshmerga in last year" is not good enough. Frontlines can change over time. ISIS can recapture this village. You should revert your edit. 2601:C7:8301:8D74:1DB4:BFDC:1999:782E (talk) 21:52, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Serhildan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page YPS. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:17, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tradedia talk 11:05, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * You may be able to avoid a block for 1RR violation if you will agree to make no edits to the map for one month. You were recently blocked one week for warring on a similar map. If you won't stop you will have to be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 20:23, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, I will not do edit map for a month. Kordestani (talk) 21:54, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, the edit warring complaint is closed with no block in exchange for your agreement not to edit Module:Iraqi insurgency detailed map until April 14. EdJohnston (talk) 01:55, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

YPG page
You bluntly deleted multiple paragraphs (mission of the YPG and military tradition of the YPG) by me on the YPG page without giving any reason. I reverted your revert. I you think the content is not correct or otherwise not OK, you can delete on a by paragraph basis giving proper reason, and letting the community decide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grieg2 (talk • contribs) 06:10, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion 4
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Tradedia talk 11:53, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Kordestani, you've been reported again. If you can't follow our policies, an admin may decide to block you indefinitely per WP:NOTHERE. EdJohnston (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I've proposed that you be indefinitely blocked. You can reply at the noticeboard if you wish. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , I think person is back under a new username, . I had to previously constantly revert him (Kordestani) for removing information about Kurds in conflict pages. Spirit Ethanol (talk) 07:55, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * , I strongly suspect Kordestani is back again under user, re-adding exactly same edits reverted for user Kordestani, Enxip. See for example here and here. Spirit Ethanol (talk) 23:52, 26 March 2016 (UTC)

SDF
Kurds is the official designation for the ethnic group. And even if it was the general term for all Kurdish groups as you say (personal POV not allowed), the map marks SDF-held territory, not Kurdish-held territory. The map represents territory held by the Syrian Democratic Forces, which is the official and common name (per Wikipedia policy) of the organisation/beligerent in question, same as everybody else marked on the map. And the SDF does not include just the Kurds, but also former Arab rebel groups, as well as some Christian groups. I see someone already explained this to you already on your talk page a month ago. Consensus via talk page was established among editors to use the common term SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces). That you don't consider them democratic is your personal POV from which you must refrain when editing Wikipedia. I can not revert you know due to the policy of only one allowed revert per 24 hours. So I ask you to revert yourself and stick to established Wikipedia policy and editor consensus. Thank you. EkoGraf (talk) 18:24, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for edit warring and WP:NOTHERE. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:. 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. This concerns the article Kurdistan Workers' Party.
