Policies and guidelines for your review
Based on your recent activity on multiple articles in which you added an identical passage (and which I have removed), you should be aware of some Wikipedia guidelines: I understand you're trying to do good work here. Please be aware that continuing down the path you're on won't be fruitful. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:55, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Edit warring - discuss on the article's talk page instead of engaging in a revert war.
 * WP:BURDEN - if someone reverts an addition you made, the burden is on you to build a consensus for your addition by discussion on the talk page.
 * Primary sources - criticism needs to be cited to reliable sources that are independent of the subject, not primary sources such as Hadith, Quran, Bible, Islamic websites, etc. Criticism should ideally be cited to scholarly critics, or at least notable critics. "Common knowledge" or tribal knowledge isn't acceptable.
 * WP:SYNTHESIS - what you wrote basically synthesized a conclusion from sources that don't actually state that conclusion. This is the main reason I reverted your changes.


 * SleeplessNight12, In addition to what wrote here, let me point you again to the guideline requiring attribution when copying material within Wikipedia (WP:COPYWITHIN). You replied to the message about it on Talk:Wahy, but you keep on copying without attribution. This is a form of copyright violation, which is taken seriously by the admins. Eperoton (talk) 19:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Yup, I removed that on which you complained. Good luck --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 19:42, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Criticism of Islam into Criticism of the Quran. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:14, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am not sure how to do that always. Perhaps, in several cases you can help? Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day! SleeplessNight12 (talk) 22:28, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Every editor needs to learn how to do this, and I can help you learn. Since you haven't been using edit summaries, I'm not sure if you know how. If you don't, please see WP:ES and practice in your sandbox to make sure you're comfortable using edit summaries. Let me know you have trouble with that part. Eperoton (talk) 23:09, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I do know how to use edit summaries --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 00:08, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Great. Any time your copy content that other editors had created from one article to another, just include the following in the edit summary:  You may change the wording; the important part is giving the name of the article you're copying from in the edit summary. Let me know if anything else is unclear. Eperoton (talk) 00:16, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. I will try to do it. --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 00:43, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

SleeplessNight12, on your 18 April edit to Quran, you copied a large amount of text from History of the Quran without attributing it in your edit summary. Please take care to follow the instructions that Diannaa provided to attribute copied text properly. Thank you. Schazjmd (talk) 00:44, 6 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I see. In my defense, I added a lot of that material in "The History of The Koran"... so it felt like copying myself. But definitely, other people were there before me. --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 01:42, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Full citations
Hello! You only inserted a short Harvard style citation without giving the full citation in Date of birth of Jesus‎. It makes it difficult for us other editors to know what you're citing if the title and journal name is missing. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources, it's very easy or even automatic to add full citations if you're citing a journal or a webpage, you just need the DOI or the URL. Thank you :) – Þjarkur (talk) 19:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok. I will see to it. Thanks! SleeplessNight12 (talk) 19:59, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

Edit warring on Alfred the Great
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. See BRD for 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. --Kansas Bear (talk) 20:57, 18 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Sorry, fixed it. --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 00:27, 19 April 2019 (UTC)

Aesop
I see you're a new editor and are still feeling your way. If you look at the image profusion section of the Aesop talk page you'll see that there have been several objections to the image of Aesop (under the name of the artist Hartmann Schedel) that you keep using. If you persist in ignoring consensus without giving a valid reason, you will again place yourself in danger of being blocked from using Wikipedia. Sweetpool50 (talk) 07:20, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I am sorry. I did not know this. Thank you for the warning. I appreciate it --SleeplessNight12 (talk) 19:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I see you have been very busy since joining, but also that you almost invariably fail to provide edit summaries. You claim above to know all about this policy, so one must assume that you do not care to show this courtesy to other users. Please be warned that such an attitude will continue to get you into trouble. Sweetpool50 (talk) 22:37, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in context


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in context. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you.

If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Catholic Church sexual abuse cases. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it 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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Notice
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Contaldo80 (talk) 22:10, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

Indefinite block
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for various violations of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, as outlined in the pertinent incidents report. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. El_C 14:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)


 * It's a pretty good appeal. But per the other admin who closed the Incidents report, early appeals may be ill-advised. So as the blocking admin, I'm not gonna unblock myself (especially seeing that this is a community ban), but I have no immediate objection to lifting the block if consensus forms to that effect. El_C 20:36, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It is early to post an unblock request. I'd like to see more conversation on the AN thread. Liz Read! Talk! 04:52, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

-- SleeplessNight12, I have added a link to your unblock request to AN: here. El_C 04:58, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you all. I really hope I will get a second chance. I apologize for my misdeeds and vow that I will never do that again., I apologize for being an idiot, I vow to never behave like that anymore. I am so sorry. I hope you can forgive me. SleeplessNight12 (talk) 05:00, 19 May 2019 (UTC)


 * This is now a CU block.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:41, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Sources for the Quran moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Sources for the Quran, does not have enough sources and compleyte citations as written to remain published. It needs more complete citations from reliable, independent sources -- as they are listed now, the majority of them are missing information that would allow for them to be verified. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline in part due to more complete citations in the Reference list, and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
