I hope you are having a good day and I hope you have a Merry Christmas/Happy Hannukah/other holiday you might celebrate, I had not seen this message at first because initially I had created this account for a single reason but I have now began to use it more often and I have just now seen this message and I appreciate you and your kindness.

Elliot Rodger
Hi! I reverted your edits at Elliot Rodger because it was mostly unsourced and not up to standards. Right now, the page on the Isla Vista killings has enough information about Rodger. If you want to work on a standalone page, improving the draft already at Draft:Elliot Rodger might be a good place to start. Thank you! BuySomeApples (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

 * It does merit its own article because if it has been perpetrated by Ukraine then it documents a retaliatory attack perpetrated by Ukraine directly on Russian soil, something that has not happened, to my knowledge at least, in the war until now (at least not on this scale), unless you count this, and this, both of which happened in Crimea, which is recognized by most countries as being part of Ukraine.

WP:1RR at Al-Rashid humanitarian aid incident
At topics related to the Israel-Arab conflict, editors are restricted to one revert every 24 hours: An editor must not perform on a —whether involving the same or different material—within a. An edit or a series of consecutive edits that undoes or manually reverses other editors' actions—whether in whole or in part—counts as a revert.

In the past 24 hours you have made two reverts:
 * 1)  and
 * 1)  and

Please self-revert 22:30, 2 March 2024 and 22:36, 2 March 2024.

To respond to your edit summary It was a massacre regardless of whether or not Israel was responsible, it was a tragedy where a lot of people died, but that doesn't make it a massacre - and the majority of sources are declining to characterize it as a massacre.

Unsourced biographical details
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to Lance Robertson. In, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. We can't guess at birth dates based on events in their life. Please be aware that many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases or genealogical websites (which are also typically user-generated, as above). This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like The New York Times or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

July 2024
Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, Hunt family murders, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected. Three typical reasons for this are that: (1) the article's subject appears to fail our notability guidelines; (2) the article is unsourced; or (3) the sources used in the article are unreliable. The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.Your first article has more information about creating articles, and you may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. —Alalch E. 11:15, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
