Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/U.S.- Brazil Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/U.S.- Brazil Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://enewschannels.com/2010/04/12/enc11462_181743.php/u-s-brazil-defense-cooperation-agreement-dca/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 22:02, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Your contributed article, NATO Miliarty Forces


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, NATO Miliarty Forces. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – NATO Military Forces. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at NATO Military Forces – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:48, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

International Security Assistance Force
Your recent editing history at International Security Assistance Force shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Please see current troop figures per http://www.isaf.nato.int/images/stories/File/2014-01-15%20isaf%20placemat-final.pdf. If you have more current sources, please cite them in order to explain your changes to the article. Farolif (talk) 23:15, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Canada–United States relations, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. SantiLak (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Canada–United States relations. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. SantiLak (talk) 22:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:06, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

February 2016
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Special Forces (United States Army), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You also failed to add an edit summary to explain your changes. - the WOLF  child  23:38, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Logos on rivalry pages
I've undone your addition of copyright logos to the various rivalry pages you changed. This is per terms of our policy on non-free content. Also, in the future, when you decide to embark on changing some 50 articles in the same way, you might wish to consult with others as to why it was not previously done the way you imagine it should be. There is almost always a reason why. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 15:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Please STOP adding non-free, copyright logos to rivalry pages, as you did at Raiders–Steelers rivalry with this edit. If you continue this behavior, you may be blocked from editing. If you have questions, ask. Continuing to place these images on rivalry articles is NOT the way forward. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 22:32, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

March 2016
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia.  Especially do not remove content that is sourced for content that is not.  - the WOLF  child  19:10, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

Edit Summary
Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! - the WOLF  child  19:12, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

March 2016
Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and  persistent violators will be blocked from editing. - the WOLF  child  19:16, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The reason I placed this warning here is so that next time you violate Wikipedia's copyright polices, you will be reported and most likely blocked from editing, and you won't be able to use the excuse; "I didn't know". - the WOLF  child  19:19, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Wikipedia again, as you did at Ben Roethlisberger, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - the WOLF  child  19:22, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at United States Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance. '' Did you actually read the attached source you provided? It's states that; "When MARSOC debuted its dedicated 0372 MOS in late 2011, 374 Marines in the recon MOS, mostly staff sergeants and above, immediately transferred out". - Not that the current number is 374, as per your edit. - the WOLF  child '' 02:57, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Your editing...
...is problematic. Surely you've noticed the multiple warnings you're accumulated here in your talk page? Many of them include clear language that if your disruptive editing continues, your account will be blocked from editing. Last month I left a 'welcome' template for you at the top of this page. It includes many useful links to helpful information for new and/or struggling users. You are strongly encouraged to carefully read through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on editing so that you can contribute more effectively. Any content you add or change, and in some cases remove, must be supported by a reliable source. You also need to explain any changes you make with an edit summary. As of now, you've made almost 600 edits without a single edit summary. You've also been making multiple edits at once, while trying to figure out templates, page layouts and cites. You are encouraged to use the preview function, and you should read up on WP:MARKUP also, to reduce the number of edits you make for a single intended change to a page. Please read through the specific policies cited in the various warnings and notifications here on your talk page as well. Repeated infractions can and will lead to a block from editing. Problems you create only make more work for others, as any mistakes you make have to be corrected, and a significant number of your edits have already been reverted. Anytime an edit of yours has been reverted, do not make the same edit (or revert) again. Per WP:BRD, you should discuss the edit with editor that reverted you and work toward consensus. Lastly, you are encouraged to use talk pages for discussion. You should respond to comments here to show you acknowledge them and, going forward you should consider proposing changes to article talk pages first, if they are warranted, a more experienced editor will implement them for you, until you become more proficient. Consider this advice carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask the help desk. - the WOLF  child  03:32, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

April 2016
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Special Forces (United States Army), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. '' And you are still refusing to provide edit summaries. Is there some reason why you can't, or won't, explain your edits or engage on talk pages?  - the WOLF  child '' 17:24, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

May 2016
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Special Forces (United States Army). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be undone. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''Besides adding the problematic SF "Engagement" to the infobox, you failed to add an edit summary. In reviewing the messages and warnings above, I feel you are WP:NOTHERE to help build WP in a constructive manner. '' – S. Rich (talk) 05:31, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Blocked
Hi,. I've blocked your account, preventing you from editing Wikipedia any further until you engage the community regarding the multiple warnings that fill your talk page. You've been repeatedly warned about adding content or making changes without providing appropriately cited, reliable sources. Doing so is not in keeping with Wikipedia standards. When you have read over the above warnings, familiarized yourself with the requirements of adding reliable sources, and feel you are ready to contribute again, please utilize the unblock template to request your account's editing privileges be restored. Any admin may judge your unblock request without contacting me directly. Thanks, -- auburn pilot  talk  21:58, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
