Hello, I'm Lone boatman. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Dimitrios Ioannidis, but you didn't provide a reliable source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Lone boatman (talk) 15:25, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I see you've added a reference to the self-published book Η τραγική αναμέτρηση και η προδοσία της Κύπρου in the article Dimitrios Ioannidis. Please see WP:SELFPUBLISH: unfortunately, self-published books aren't considered WP:Reliable sources on Wikipedia, so we'll need to either find additional sources or remove the assertions that are only referenced by that book.

Hello, I'm Lone boatman. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Nikos Sampson without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. The removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Lone boatman (talk) 18:33, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Nikos Sampson, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Nikos Sampson. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Lone boatman (talk) 14:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Nikos Sampson. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Lone boatman (talk) 14:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Nikos Sampson. 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, 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. Lone boatman (talk) 14:52, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
